Chapter Twenty-Four: Vivian's Sister

  This Vivian female magician's bag had been emptied, she looked at Du Wei with a pitiful expression, her hands nervously kneading the cloth pouch in her hand, which was now obviously empty and devoid of any remaining stock.

  "This is all I have." Vivian stuttered. She really couldn't take out anything else.

  Solskaya beside him was so angry that she wanted to strangle Duvy's neck and make him nod quickly!

  A piece of medium-quality Aquamarine, a large package of restorative potions, and a handful of high-quality magical beast cores... In addition, more than a dozen mid-level magic scrolls with intricate patterns were also included.

  These things are enough to make any high-level magic on the mainland jealous! Even though the group of magicians is notoriously wealthy, such a large sum of wealth is still extremely rare.

  If you don't agree now, what if something unexpected happens? An 8th-level magician isn't someone to be trifled with!

  This little girl looks silly and honest, but if she gets angry and really fights, with the strength of an 8th-level magician, it's likely that our entire party will be wiped out without any problem.

  This little girl, however, seemed to have no awareness of being a strong person at all. If she had even half a bit of irrationality, a high-level magic spell would be enough to wipe out the remaining defeated soldiers on their side.

  Even if this little girl is a fool... but bullying a great magician like this, it's likely that there will be trouble later on.

  Thank goodness, just when Solskya was about to go crazy, Du Wei finally nodded. He even had a calm expression: "Respected magician, I can feel your sincerity. The conditions you've proposed, I think my subordinates will be very satisfied."

  As he spoke, Du Wei gave a nod, and Solstice let out a sigh of relief. He hastily went up to the female magician and almost "snatched" those "compensation items" from her hands. Solstice's eyes were wide with excitement as he quickly stuffed these magical materials into a large package he had brought along, clutching it tightly in his grasp, his face revealing an expression similar to that of a miser... In this situation, if anyone dared to try and take the package from him, the magician would definitely fight them to the death!

  "Then then you can let go now... " Vivian's pleading eyes looked at Du Wei, those innocent big eyes, plus her angel-like face, really made people unbearable to make things difficult for this little girl.

  "Oh, these subordinates of yours may be satisfied with your compensation terms... however, I personally still have a small additional condition." Du Wei said calmly.

  "Cocoa is all I have left..." The female magician panicked, quickly flipping through her pockets and dumping them out to show that she was completely penniless.

  "No, no, no, I'm not asking for material compensation." Du Wei finally revealed his sinister intentions: "You are an 8th-level magician, aren't you? In the Empire, great magicians are extremely rare, especially someone like you... I've never heard of a young lady like you with a Great Magician badge. Oh, please don't misunderstand me, what I'm saying is... I'm extremely curious about magic and have an unusually strong interest in it. I yearn for the magnificent magical culture and have spent a lot of effort studying magic. You see, I even hired a magician as my magical studies consultant."

  Du Wei pointed to Solskia beside him, who was tightly grasping his luggage with all ten fingers, looking like a miser.

  He then deliberately let out a sigh, shook his head and said: "However, it's a pity that you also saw my magic advisor. Although he is very dedicated to teaching me, considering his limited level, I find it difficult to gain more knowledge from him. So, being able to meet you here today - an 8th-level great magician - is truly an honor for me... Oh, although I was startled by your pet, in the presence of such an excellent magician as yourself, I certainly won't hold this small matter against you."

  Poor and simple-minded Vivian felt that her brain was not enough, in her opinion, the young nobleman just now was a bit scary, he had extorted all of her property... But who made herself unreasonable? Vivian wasn't thinking of using magic to rob back the money, but from childhood she received education that must follow the fairness and kindness in her heart, be kind to people, plus this simple and previously almost never left home little girl, it was really hard for her to come up with any evil thoughts.

  She obediently offered up all her wealth, but didn't know that if she was willing to be ruthless, a single curse would have solved the problem.

  This young noble was really scary at first. But then he spoke of his extraordinary longing for magic and his diligent learning spirit... Especially the way he spoke, it was so sincere, his eyes and tone were all so genuine.

  And he also said "don't mind that I was startled", oh god, what a kind guy... The simple-minded female magician immediately forgot that she had just been robbed of all her possessions by this guy. She stuttered: "Th-thank you... thank you... thank you for your generosity."

  "No, no, I haven't finished speaking yet." Du Wei sighed: "Unfortunately, what I have been praying for all along is to meet a powerful magician who can give some guidance to this lost sheep on the path of magic... Now, I finally met you... Don't know if kind-hearted you, Magic Master, are willing to guide someone who sincerely hopes to learn magic?"

  "What's wrong?" The female magician felt that something was not quite right, but looking at Du's sincere eyes in front of her, for a moment she couldn't think of what was wrong.

  What a kind and lovely person! And just now the teacher's pet scared him... This is also his own fault.

  But...

  "You want to learn magic, but I have to take you back... I'm afraid..." The female magician looked somewhat embarrassed.

  "No, no, you misunderstand." Du Wei smiled, his face even more sincere, his eyes very passionate: "Of course I know that a great magician's time is more precious than gold. Your valuable time should be spent on studying the mysteries of magic, how can it be wasted on someone like me? So what I'm asking for isn't much, just a little bit of proper guidance would be fine. Look, I already have a magician as my advisor, although his abilities are limited, at least he can answer most of my questions. And now what I need is some more 'advanced' knowledge, such as... Du Wei's eyes rolled around, and he smiled slightly: "such as a few advanced magic spells."

  Solzhenitsyn was stunned!

  He didn't think Du Wei's appetite would be so big!

  If those magical materials are the magicians' family property... then, the magic spell is the magician's life!!

  Each magician spends his whole life studying magic spells, and they absolutely will not casually teach the results of their studied magic spells to anyone!

  No magical book of the empire records even half a sentence of spells, only some common sense about magic!

  Any magic spell, even the lowest level of spells, can only be passed on by a magician himself to his apprentice!

  A high-level magician is stronger than a low-level magician, apart from magic and perception... the most important thing is the mastery of some advanced magical spells!

  The same magic spell, used by low-level and high-level magicians, even the spell itself will have some subtle but crucial differences! High-level magicians can shorten the spell through their own research results, deleting some dispensable words! Increase the speed of casting spells, thus gaining an advantage in battle.

  And then there are some advanced spells that lower-level magicians have yet to master.

  Someone like Solskya, a low-level magician, only mastered a few of the lowest level spells. If he wants to learn advanced magic, he can only ask a senior magician to be his teacher.

  I didn't expect Du Wei's mouth to be so big, wanting to get the magic spell from this little girl's mouth!! These are absolutely secret secrets that magicians will not pass on.

  Although this girl is extremely simple-minded, she's not a fool after all... otherwise, how could an idiot possibly cultivate to the level of an 8th rank magician?

  Upon hearing Du Wei's request, the innocent Vivian's face also turned somewhat unsightly. She shook her little head repeatedly: "Ah no no no... absolutely cannot! Old teacher has entrusted me, the cursed language cannot be told to others!"

  "But isn't this fearful Youmo a pet of your teacher's? Your teacher must have also instructed you not to let it out, right?" Du Wei's expression at this moment was like that of a corruptor who lures underage children into committing crimes.

  The female magician was at a loss for words.

  "I'm right, aren't I? Your teacher must have told you to take good care of this thing, but you still disobeyed. Your teacher must have also told you not to let it escape, and yet you went against that too. Now, all I'm asking for is just a tiny bit... and it's even in consideration of me helping you catch this little thing... You saw it yourself, we've all suffered quite a bit to catch this thing. I personally got a huge scare too. Now, shouldn't you make some amends to me for your past mistakes?"

  Even if Vivian is a genius, her talent may only be limited to magical learning. In other aspects, it's clear that this little girl is somewhat "lacking". Duwei's logical and theoretical arguments almost confused her.

  She was torn between fulfilling the teacher's order to take good care of the pet and fulfilling the teacher's order not to reveal the secret spell... After weighing these two options back and forth for half a day, she finally burst into tears.

  The simple girl shed tears again and sobbed: "Okay, okay... but I can only teach you one trick."

  "Oh, you said one by one." Du Wei said as he quickly raised his fingers: "Oh, so I count, there are four in total, right?"

  "No no no! It's wrong!!" The female magician panicked, loudly distinguishing: "Not four four four four, but one one one one one one..."

  She spoke more and more urgently, but the word "one" just couldn't be finished, while Du Wei quickly raised a finger every time the female magician said "one", whenever she spat out an "one", Du Wei immediately raised a finger.

  Vivian was so anxious that she almost bit her tongue off, and Du Wei's ten fingers were all raised. If he continued to count, he would probably start raising his toes next. The female magician had an idea and shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!!"

  Looking at the cute little girl's flushed face, Du Wei didn't dare to really push her too hard. After a round of haggling, both parties finally settled on "six" magic spells.

  For this kind of losing business, the female magician also went through a fierce debate... but she really didn't have Du Weili's eloquence, her speaking skills were not good to begin with, and her mind was a bit simple. More importantly, she stuttered when speaking. How could she possibly outdo Du Wei in a battle of wits?

  Helpless, the female magician could only secretly wipe away her tears.

  Oh, respected teacher, please forgive poor Vivian for disobeying your orders... I also did it to find back your beloved pet. To fulfill your first command while violating the second one...... Is this right or wrong?

  "I am a noble, you are a magician, we are both people of status. Since a promise has been made, it's not right to change it casually. I suggest everyone should make an oath before proceeding... until our agreement is fulfilled..."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Du Wei immediately loudly made a poisonous oath to the Great Light God, without waiting for the female magician to open her mouth in opposition.

  The female magician was helpless and could only make a vow. What surprised Du Wei was that when making the vow, the female magician even honestly cast a contract spell to represent the agreement between the two people must be fulfilled.

  This little girl speaks with a stutter, but her speed at reciting incantations is astonishingly fast!!

  A string of profound and abstruse incantations, in her mouth it was as if she were frying beans, quick and clear! Although she spoke extremely fast, each syllable was incredibly clear!

  It's hard to imagine a girl who can recite incantations at an astonishing speed would stutter when speaking.

  It is worth mentioning that even until the end, this poor Vivian did not show any intention of using violence to resist Du Wei.

  I really don't know what kind of teacher would teach such a frighteningly naive girl!

  •；

  The many guards of the Roland family remained silent about the young master's extortion of the poor little girl. They had all suffered at the hands of that phantom, so although the little girl looked very innocent and pitiful, no one would speak up for her. The only one who felt somewhat uneasy was Knight Robert, after all, he believed in chivalry and didn't quite agree with Duwei's behavior of extorting a little girl. However, as a vassal, he also couldn't express his opposition to the young master's actions.

  And also... treating an 8th-level magician like this, aren't you worried about causing trouble?

  And Robert Knight's concerns... soon became a reality!

  The female magician who promised to teach Du Wei six magic spells had no choice but to follow him on the road back to Half Moon City.

  The female magician, after signing the unequal treaty, began to rack her brains thinking about which six spells to pass on to Du Wei... Of course, preferably some unimportant spells.

  Oh, can't blame a simple little girl for starting to have such an unscrupulous idea. It's just that... after being blackmailed by a devil-like guy like Du Wei, even the purest angel would learn some cunning!

  She thought about it all the way, and the female magician couldn't make a final decision. She had no choice but to stay by Duwei's side and continue thinking.

  Fortunately, the teacher won't be back for several days, as long as I can finish this within these few days... Sigh, just hope my sister doesn't find out!

  If this matter can be resolved, I can return to the teacher's house. The outside world is really too scary, are all the people outside as terrifying as this little aristocrat?

  Oh, merciful deity, poor Vivian didn't mean to stab others in the back, forgive me, God... But that little aristocrat is really terrifying.

  This time after going back, I will never come out again!

  Sigh... sister... she shouldn't have found out so quickly, should she?

  The incident of the half-angle city's magic beast has been resolved, and the one who let out a sigh of relief is the Spurn Knight. The magic beast incident has been resolved, and the young master of the Rorin family was not injured either.

  Although the process was a bit embarrassing, dozens of fully armed soldiers were almost annihilated in front of a small monster... However, this thing is the pet of a great magician! Such things are not embarrassing anymore.

  A relaxed Spahn warmly invited Du Wei and others to stay at the Garrison Commander's mansion in Half Moon City, after all, the environment and conditions here are much better than those of the inn.

  Du Wei did not refuse, he also hoped to have a quiet environment to discuss the issue of the spell with this female magician.

  In this way, a group of people did not enter the city, but instead entered the outer city's garrison fortress.

  This is a place of permanent military garrison. The local defense army commander's office is also here. That night, the enthusiastic knight Spann invited everyone to have a good meal in order to please this young master of the Rollin family. He even privately decided to bring out the fine wine that the commander had stored in the cellar for special occasions. (I'm sure the commander will not blame me for using his precious wine when he finds out it was for entertaining the noble guest from the Rollin family.)

  The soldiers who had been exhausted for an afternoon, as well as the guards of the Luo Lin family, finally took a breather. Here, everyone indulged in drinking and venting their frustrations from this afternoon's ordeal.

  Du Wei responded with a few pleasantries to Spahn's courtesy, and soon found an excuse to propose going back to rest. In fact, he was going to take a look at that female magician.

  Si knew that people like Du Wei would give him face and have dinner with him, which was already a great honor, so he didn't dare to detain him any longer. He stood up to see him off...

  Suddenly, at this moment, a shocking and earth-shaking roar came from outside the hall!!

  Under the clear night sky, a huge and unmatched lightning bolt suddenly flashed across the middle of the sky! The deafening thunderclap shocked everyone sober for several moments!!

  Suddenly, in an instant, the sky outside the hall was filled with a loud noise! A flame of fire came straight down from the edge of the sky and accurately hit the flagpole at the entrance of the military camp! With a loud bang, the flagpole had turned into a ball of flames and burned to ashes!!

  As everyone stared in shock and amazement, a cold voice suddenly came from all directions at once!

  The voice seemed to come from afar, yet it was as if it resonated right beside the ear! But it was a woman's voice that was apathetic to the extreme!

  "Vivian! My dear sister, where are you running off to now?! Hand over the Fear Illusion Demon quickly!"
