There are currently dozens of wizards active in Orange Province, and more than half of them were recruited by the great nobles to become private wizards.

The main job of these wizards is to provide potions to these great nobles.

The cost of recruiting a wizard is very high, and it is impossible for a family like Pompeii to recruit a wizard.

Wizards, knights, if a family wants to develop, it is definitely not something that can be done in one go.

In addition to dozens of wizards in Orange Province, there are also a large number of wizard apprentices. Wizard apprentices are composed of two types. One is young apprentices recruited by formal wizards. These young wizard apprentices have the potential to become wizards and can be said to be potential stocks.

The remaining group is middle-aged and elderly wizard apprentices who are gradually getting older but still cannot become wizards. This group represents that their potential has been exhausted.

Being a wizard is a very demanding profession. First of all, if you want to become a wizard apprentice, you must have talent, and this talent is very rare.

Secondly, there is a breakthrough level from wizard apprentice to formal wizard, and this level blocks many wizard apprentices, so the number of formal wizards is very scarce.

In comparison, becoming a knight is much easier. Even if one has poor talent, one can still undergo knight training. Although there is a stage for a knight apprentice to become a formal knight, 90% of people can pass it.

Therefore, knights are an important fighting force for mankind.

According to what the Sun Face said, this is the glory spread by the great sage.

This time, Luther was looking for an older wizard apprentice, Mr. Tel. When Mr. Tel was young, he also studied under a formal wizard. As he got older, he was not able to become a formal wizard, so he was dismissed.

He returned to his homeland, the Barony of Barton.

Although he is a wizard apprentice, he also has certain spellcasting abilities and can make some potions, so Mr. Tel has a high reputation in Barton County and lives a very comfortable life.

Of course, Mr. Tel is not the only choice for Luther. He can also ask the Barton family for help and ask the official wizards recruited by the Barton family to take action.

But Luther didn't want the Patton family to know about this for the time being. After all, this matter involved two knight lord families.

Soon, Luther and his party arrived at No. 80, Cross Street, Kaiyue City, a villa covering a large area.

Wizards need a relatively large space to make potions and conduct magic experiments, so the unified style of wizards' residences is huge.

After the carriage arrived at the villa, Tieguo came to the door of the carriage holding an umbrella, so that when Luther got off the carriage, he would not be disturbed by the heavy rain.

Arriving in front of the courtyard, Luther went forward and knocked on the door, which was opened by a servant.

The servant glanced at Luther, then glanced at the four knights beside Luther. He showed no panic and was very calm.

Obviously he has seen big scenes.

"Sir, are you here to visit Mr. Tel?"

the butler asked.

"Yes. I am Luther Pompey, and I have come here specially to visit Mr. Tel. May I ask if you are at home?" Luther nodded.

Perhaps because he was used to seeing distinguished guests, the butler did not feel much for the word Pompeii. Instead, he gently opened the door, invited Luther in, and said, "It's a bit annoying today because of the thunder and lightning. Sir, you are not making potions. You are enjoying afternoon tea in the study. Gentlemen, please come in and take a rest. I will go and invite you."

"Excuse me." Luther nodded.

At this time, several maids came in and handed over towels and clean slippers. Tieguo was waiting outside, and Luther and the four knights walked in.

The old man was really old, and his skin was like old tree bark, full of wrinkles.

He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, but the look behind the lenses was very smart.

"Hello, Mr. Tel." Luther and the knights saluted the old man politely.

"Hello, Mr. Pompey, the next generation of knights." The old man said with a smile. Obviously, the old man knew Luther Pompey.

"It's really rude of you to come and visit me. What's more, I would like to ask you to help me analyze something." Luther bowed and said apologetically.

"Please go ahead, but please sit down before you speak," Mr. Tel said kindly.

Although the two people had no relationship before.

Luther nodded and sat down with the knights in the hall. Then, Luther told Mr. Tel what happened to Miss Ruth, Latin, and Will.

Mr. Tel thought for a moment before saying, "If your guess is correct, then these people are indeed under a spell. But guesses are just guesses after all. I need to confirm whether I can be sure."

"How to prove it?" Luther asked.

"Isn't there a Mr. Carl whose memory is confused? This should be a certain deviation in magic. I can detect it when I see Mr. Carl. But."

At this point, Mr. Tel paused, then asked Luther: "You also know that inviting me to take action requires a price."

Wizards believe in fair exchange. Mr. Tel is kind, but he obviously won't do it for free.

Luther was also mentally prepared for this, and quickly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tel, I know the rules of wizards."

Mr. Tel nodded with a smile, then he made some preparations and went with Luther to visit Mr. Karl.

Mr. Karl is a descendant of nobility, but nobility descendants are not uncommon in Kaiyue City. Mr. Karl's life is not rich, but it is much better than that of ordinary civilians.

Mr. Karl's home is in a small villa in the villa area.

The missing person is Mr. Carl's wife, a young and beautiful lady. Mr. Carl and his wife have an eight-year-old boy.

According to intelligence, Mr. Carl's earliest memory of his wife's disappearance was five years ago. His wife disappeared for no apparent reason when she went to another baron's territory to visit his parents.

No body was seen, as if it had disappeared without a trace.

Mr. Carl gave up after tracking for a while. There was nothing he could do about it. Although the security environment in Orange was still good.

But after all, it is an extraordinary world, and there are many unexpected factors. Every year, there are many cases of people disappearing for no reason outside.

But a year ago, another bizarre memory appeared in Mr. Karl's mind.

His wife suddenly disappeared seven years ago, not long after she gave birth to a child.

The two different memories appeared at the same time, making Mr. Carl very confused.
