The old woman spoke softly, and her entire demeanor suddenly became sharp.
I left the bakery and prepared to head out of town.
On the other side, a man dressed somewhat sloppily, carrying a large machete, walked towards them in a nonchalant manner.
When the two were three meters apart, they stopped at the same time.
Hillary!
"Li Ming!"
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, one old and the other full of vigor.
The wandering knight, known as Li Ming, grinned slightly: "How rare! How could a senior teacher from a prestigious magic academy come to such a remote little place?"
Hillary's aged face remained expressionless: "As a teacher, I am naturally here to find my student. On the contrary, what brings you, a dignified high knight, here?"
Li Ming's grin widened: "What a coincidence, I'm also here looking for my student!"
The northwestern kingdoms are located in a remote corner and have few experts to begin with. Those who have some reputations all have their own areas of operation and know each other.
Ultraman Magic Academy is one of the most famous academies in the Northwest Kingdoms. As a senior teacher there, Hillary is very knowledgeable and has taught many outstanding students, making her quite famous.
As a wandering knight, Li Ming once single-handedly killed three fourth-tier magical beasts, making him a top-tier figure among high-ranking knights.
The Knights Association had extended invitations to Li Ming to join several times, but he refused each time.

Li Ming nodded: "A young black dragon once kidnapped the princess of the Duchy of Carter, so I asked my student to handle it, but it seems that something unexpected happened!"
"Then we must be looking for the same dragon."
Hillary spoke with certainty.
The number of dragons is already small, and it is rare for one to appear in a place like the northwestern kingdoms. The probability of two dragons appearing, especially two black dragons, is extremely low.
"Since we share the same goal, why don't we work together?"
Li Ming extended an invitation.
Despite their mutual dislike, they had to admit that knights and mages complemented each other.
Just in case, Hillary naturally agreed.
"Can you find your students?"
Li Ming asked, as he wasn't particularly good at finding people, which was the main reason he wanted to be with Hillary.
The old woman nodded; for a magician, finding people was just a minor spell.
He took out some of his students' belongings and quickly chanted a spell.
