Yulian knew.
This world was always full of misunderstandings.
Good misunderstandings aside.
Bad misunderstandings aside.
A misunderstanding was a misunderstanding after all.
And speaking of misunderstandings, one had to talk about the reasons they occurred.
Generally speaking, misunderstandings stemmed from one-sided perception or subjective assumptions.
For instance, Yulian would never have guessed!
The reason he and the others were thought to be bandits by the Villagers.
Was actually a simple phrase "Are your hands cold?" when he and Frieren were picking mushrooms yesterday!
"What a wonderful misunderstanding~"
Finally, after some explanation, the misunderstanding was cleared.
Yulian and the others also received a warm welcome from the Villagers.
After a satisfying meal and drink, plus being arranged a place to stay for the night.
Everyone woke up early and took the carriage from the Village to the City of Magic Äußerst.
"The weather is much better."
The carriage moved forward, swaying.
Stark looked around in surprise at the sight of the ice and snow beginning to melt.
"Is this the season in the Northern Lands?"
Fern's eyebrows furrowed slightly in confusion.
But by her reckoning, winter had only just arrived a month and a half ago!
"It's a Magic barrier."
Yulian smiled faintly and began to explain.
"The City of Magic Äußerst has set up a Magic barrier within its territory."
"A Magic barrier!"
Fern felt her chest suddenly jolt.
She looked around in disbelief.
But clearly!
"There are no Magic fluctuations, right?"
Frieren's voice rang out.
Since leaving in the morning, she had been leaning on Fern, catching up on sleep.
Perhaps the exclamations of the few people just now had woken her up.
"Mistress Frieren, you're awake."
Fern lowered her head, looking at Frieren who was leaning on her lap with her eyes open, and spoke.
"Mhm, just woke up."
Frieren blinked her eyes.
At this moment, she looked up at the pure blue sky.
It was just that she could only see half of the sky.
The other half was blocked by Fern.
Women can hold up half the sky...
Yulian's occasional catchphrase for declining things suddenly popped into Frieren's mind.
It seemed like she suddenly had a new interpretation for that phrase!
"Frieren, are you okay?"
Yulian looked at Frieren somewhat strangely.
She had been perfectly fine when she just woke up.
How did her face suddenly turn rosy in just a few minutes?
Caught a cold?
No way, Officer!
"I'm fine."
Frieren got up and sat straight.
She muttered in her heart that it was unreasonable.
But her expression still calmed down.
"Mistress Frieren..." "Is there really a barrier here?"
Fern asked in a low voice.
Although it was Yulian who said there was a barrier.
But for Fern, she still found it hard to accept!
She was a Mage, yet she couldn't sense the barrier!
This matter was no less terrifying than Fern being suddenly flanked and approached by Stark!
How terrifying!
So, holding onto a sliver of hope, Fern still asked Frieren again.
"Well, no."
Frieren had only said half her sentence when Fern couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
She knew it!
How could there be such a terrifying barrier!
"Actually, it should be called a domain."
"After all, its scope is several dozen kilometers in radius."
Frieren looked at the relieved Fern and smiled slyly.
Fern, after being slightly stunned.
The heart she had put at ease finally died...
"Is there really, really such a terrifying barrier?"
"It's terrifying, but—"
Yulian couldn't bear to see Frieren tease Fern like this.
He spoke up to explain.
"Actually, it's not just one person who set it up, as you think."
"Instead, it was formed by utilizing a certain Magic formation combined with physical mediums and vast Magic power."
As Yulian spoke, he helplessly suppressed his own Magic power even further.
This way, even if he wanted to completely break his own seal, it would take a significant amount of time.
The advantage was that he could avoid the terrifying Magic detection of the barrier's master.
A Great Mage born in the age of myths was not someone he could casually deal with.
Yulian's expression slightly darkened.
When his divine skill hadn't been perfected yet, he had suffered brutal beatings from Serie.
"Phew—"
"I see..." Fern breathed a sigh of relief.
She was almost scared to death by Frieren.
If such a terrifying barrier Magic was really created by one person, and was also so difficult to detect!
That would be absolutely terrifying!
"Mhm."
Frieren glanced at Yulian, whose expression had slightly darkened at this moment.
She felt a bit strange.
It was clearly a Magic barrier created by Serie herself, so why would Yulian say it was a group of people?
No, it seemed Yulian didn't actually say it was a group of people either.
But...
Frieren bit her index finger.
She was a little curious about how Yulian knew these things.
So annoying!
It felt like her brain was growing!
"Look quickly..." "The famous Magic Lake."
The Villager driving the carriage laughed heartily.
Although he didn't understand what the people behind him were talking about.
But this didn't stop him from introducing the pride of the Northern Lands to Yulian and the others!
"Magic Lake?"
A new and novel term appeared in Fern's ears.
Magic power, lake, barrier!
Fern felt she had a bold guess!
"Mistress Frieren!"
Fern looked at Frieren with sparkling eyes.
The latter smiled faintly, pursing her lips.
While marveling at Fern's talent, she gave her the answer.
"It's just as you thought."
Is there really such an amazing person!
Receiving Frieren's reply.
Fern's pupils dilated as she looked at this vast, endless lake.
"It relies on rainwater to replenish the barrier's Magic power."
"Because the Magic power is dispersed, it's difficult for people entering the barrier to detect."
"Allowing the owner of the Magic power to freely observe those who enter the barrier."
Yulian roughly explained the principle.
Then he complained again.
"It's simply overbearing."
Why do you get to watch others!
Exactly the same as before, not a bit changed!
"Let's discuss the First-Class Mage exam first."
Frieren nodded in agreement, then looked at Fern.
"Fern, I remember you said there's practical combat besides the test, right?"
"Mhm mhm."
Fern snapped back from her shock.
She sat up straight, ready to listen carefully to Frieren.
(Although Fern's mother's sitting posture was already very ladylike and dignified!)
"Since there's practical combat, we need to think carefully about countermeasures."
Frieren rubbed her chin, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Wait, Mistress Frieren."
Fern heard Frieren's words.
She looked at Frieren strangely.
"Logically speaking, possessing such vast Magic power..." "Shouldn't the Mage exam be a very simple matter for you?"
"I..."
Frieren lowered her head.
"A Mage's strength doesn't depend on Magic power..." "But also technique and experience."
Yulian smiled smugly.
It was rare to see Frieren flustered recently.
"But Mistress Frieren's techniques and experience are also amazing!"
Fern didn't understand the joke between Yulian and Frieren, she just muttered in confusion.
In fact, Frieren's techniques could indeed not be called poor.
But compared to Frieren's age.
Hers had indeed not improved much.
