The red-haired girl appeared near Swan City, most likely to wait for the boat.
After hearing what Claude said, Hellagur felt a little relieved. The red-haired teacher probably wouldn't live long, and it wasn't certain whether he was still alive. He didn't have to worry about anyone seeking revenge later.
"I will inform you as soon as there is any news about the ship. You should study more during this period. Although I don't understand wizards, the wizards I have visited are all very knowledgeable. Knowledge is always the sharpest weapon." Claude's eyes were full of nostalgia when he spoke, and it was unknown what he was recalling.
Claude said with some shame, "Although I am your teacher, I actually took advantage of you and had some selfish motives. I hope you can take care of my descendants in the future."
Herag smiled and said, "Teacher, there's no need to say that. You helped me, and I will naturally take care of your offspring within my ability. You have to pay for what you want. This is the price, I understand."
"Hahaha!" Claude laughed out loud. "You are indeed suitable to be a wizard."
…
Time flies and three months have passed.
Over the past three months, Hellagur has spent most of his time in the library of Northentan College.
Every book in the library was recorded by Deep Blue. Herag had Deep Blue scan and input each book first, and then chose the ones he wanted to read from these books.
In terms of starry sky meditation, the second star has been successfully meditated, and the meditation on the third star is now in progress.
"Herag Merlin: Strength 1, Agility 7, Constitution 9, Spirit 6, Magic 100%."
After the second star meditation was successful, physical data such as strength also increased slightly.
Herag discovered that the starry sky meditation method is not about meditating on one star to increase a little mental power, the second star increases the mental power by 1, and the subsequent growth should be greater, but the corresponding time spent will also be more, and the difficulty of meditation will become higher and higher.
That meteorite grass had been used up, and Claude later used his connections to find two more, but he never found any more meteorite grass after that.
Hellagur had no choice. This kind of thing could not be rushed. There were indeed too few resources on the Coulson continent.
Emile formed a mercenary team with Jimmy and others who followed him at the beginning. After completing a few orders, they gained some fame. The size of the team gradually grew, and now there are more than 60 people under his command.
Melissa said that when there is an opportunity to form a caravan, Emil and his group have enough military force, so there will be no problem in doing business and they can make a lot of money.
During this period, everyone had their own things to do, and Hellagur had less and less time to interact with them.
For some reason, Herag always felt that ever since he demonstrated a fireball technique, Jimmy and others, including Melissa, were a little in awe of him, or even fear of him.
Although they usually looked normal to him, Hellagur could still sense the fear hidden deep in their hearts.
Emil was just like before, always honest and straightforward with Herag, but lately he looked obviously tired, with a look of vicissitudes of life on his face.
His strength has improved a lot recently, and Herag estimates that Emil has the hope of breaking through to the Grand Knight.
Herag had once believed that the Great Knight was the world's top fighting force, until...
"Baron Buck concealed his father-son relationship with Emil, and even Emil himself didn't know. He must have some ulterior motive, but..." Herag sighed. No matter what Baron Buck's purpose was, it disappeared with his death.
Hellagur's peaceful days were broken on the first day of spring. Claude received news that the ship would arrive at the port of Swan City within five days.
The port of Swan City is very large. Because of its great geographical advantage, it is the largest port in the entire Colson continent.
There were many ships coming and going in the port. Claude, despite his old age, came to see Herag off in person, with Melissa and Emil supporting him.
"Teacher, you really didn't have to come." Herag said with a wry smile.
Claude smiled kindly and said, "You're still young and don't understand. If you leave, we probably won't see each other again in this life. It won't matter if we walk a few more steps."
"Just come back often, Hellagur. You are in very good health, teacher!" Melissa said from the side. She is becoming more and more feminine now, and her girlish appearance is no longer noticeable.
Just a month ago, Melissa confirmed her pregnancy, but it's still not very noticeable and her belly isn't visible.
The two held a simple wedding, and a group of people had a casual meal together. The impoverished nobles could not afford a grand celebration.
"You don't understand. The wizarding world is different from ours. The time it takes them to complete an experiment may be enough for an ordinary person to spend a lifetime. Also, it's not easy to sail across the ocean. You can't come back in a short time." Claude said with emotion.
Emil patted Hellagur's shoulder and said, "Don't forget us, kid. I don't care if you're a wizard or something else. In my heart, you'll always be the kid who worked hard at sword fighting in the training ground."
"Yeah, I know." Herag felt quite emotional as he recalled the time when he was learning sword and breathing techniques.
"You are the future godfather of our child. Remember to take good care of him when you become a noble wizard." Melissa said to herself while touching herself.
Herag nodded. "It's a pity that I didn't make it to see him born. I'll write to you after I settle down there. Let's keep in touch."
"The ship is coming." Claude said suddenly while looking at the horizon.
Everyone looked and saw a ship moving at high speed where the sea and the sky met.
At first they didn't notice anything, but when the ship got closer, Hellagur and the others realized that it was much larger than ordinary ships.
The ship has a total of five layers, and its outer skin is covered with a strange metal. It is unknown what material it is made of, and it emits a dark glow.
There were a dozen sailors standing on the deck, busy pulling the sails.
Herag discovered that there were at least five knight-level masters among these sailors.
The ship entered the port and stopped, and the sailors immediately began to move the cargo on the ship. It looked no different from an ordinary merchant ship.
Claude explained, "This ship belongs to a wizard organization on the Karage continent. They're primarily responsible for making money trading. Their ships are sturdy enough to navigate dangerous waters. Their crews are very capable, and with official wizards in charge, they're capable of handling a wide range of situations. Therefore, their merchant ships can travel far and wide to buy and sell goods, making a lot of money. After all, wizard organizations have high expenses."
"As for transporting wizard apprentices like you, it's just a matter of convenience. It doesn't matter whether we take you along or not."
Herag noticed a man wearing a black hood standing at the bow. The man had a very extraordinary aura and a strong magical aura.
Deep Blue also issued a warning: "High-energy magic source detected!"
"It seems that he is the official wizard of the ship." Hellagur muttered to himself as he looked at the man.
The man seemed to have noticed something, turned to look at Hellagur, then walked down the gangway and moved towards Hellagur.
