On the roof, Sean could notice that Lucille was staring at him, and the reminder of being watched was always there in his vision.
Not too fast...
Ordinary people might not be noticed if they jumped over the roofs of one or two houses, but if they kept doing this, they would easily be noticed by the dragon riders, and they would have to jump back to the streets as soon as they left the most crowded streets.
"You've made good progress in learning magic over the past two years. I can see that you've already reached a high level." Lucille said from behind.
If it were before, Sean probably wouldn't have known what this sentence meant, but now he understands.
The so-called high-level distinction is probably at the level 7~8 of the Order. At this stage...
Ordinary people that I have seen, even captains, can do it at level 6 at most, but when the level reaches level 7 or above, they officially enter the high-level ranks, and then there is a higher level division which is above level 12 of the Order.
Now Sean's magic proficiency has reached 630, just entering the high-level stage.
"I haven't been idle these years either. A lot of things have happened since you left town. Since then, I've been forced to get involved in the struggles within the aristocratic circle..."
Come down from the roof.
There weren't many people on the street here, so I had to slow down a bit to avoid being noticed by the Sky Guards.
After all, the prince ran away secretly. Although it was not a big deal, he would probably become a typical example of a lazy person in the eyes of those ministers who opposed him.
"I see. It seems you've been through a lot as well."
Lucille's words made Sean, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stop.
Look back,
An intriguing tone.
“There are some things I really don’t want to experience again.”
The other party's words always reminded Sean of the appearance of those nameless people. Although he always said that he didn't fight often, every battle was like dancing on the edge of life and death.
I have saved the world countless times, but I just don’t have the heart to become a superhero!
"Oh, your mentality has changed."
"What?" Sean didn't quite understand what Lucille meant.
The other person walked forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
But his gaze was still on his side...
"You weren't like this before. I remember that you were only thinking about escaping the boring mountain life back then. Otherwise, you wouldn't have forced me to teach you magic... I knew from the beginning that you might not be able to find the whereabouts of the Cain Slate, but your hope touched me."
It was more than two years later that Lucille finally told Sean the reason why she taught magic.
Looking back now, a small mountain baron really didn't have much power. However, my personal experience in the following years taught me that it would not be difficult for someone of Lucille's strength to find cooperation with any powerful person.
Her beauty is enough to seduce many young men, and her strength is enough to make many wizard organizations submit and work for her.
Looking back now, the transactions at that time are indeed ridiculous.
It feels a bit like an adult wants to trade with a child for one candy, but in fact, the adult can just buy a whole cart of candy himself.
"So what do I look like now?" Sean asked curiously.
"You now give me the feeling that you've returned to being a little mountain baron, with no desire for the outside world and only wanting to live a peaceful life in your own little mountain area."
Sean was really moved by these words.
Looking at Lucille's profile.
Perhaps it is because of my mentor that I can observe so thoroughly.
When I first came to this world in the mountains, I wanted to travel around the world, learn magic, and learn the knowledge of this world.
Just like those novels I'd read before, traveling to another world, conquering the empire, becoming a super forbidden spell mage, conquering a vast territory, and then falling asleep with beauties from all over the world...
Life.
Perhaps this kind of ideal is meaningful.
It’s just that what I’ve experienced in the past two years has been different from what I had imagined.
"Maybe he's tired. He has to stop and go all the time, right?" Sean said.
"It's okay to have occasional doubts. Actually, you've been able to progress from a beginner to a high-level magician in just two years. You're truly gifted. I've been learning magic since I was three, but I've never seen anyone as gifted as you... Add to that your status, and you've gone from a baron to a desert prince in just two years! Even entertainers wouldn't dare write about it."
"If things go too smoothly, it will make people confused." Lucille looked at Sean and said.
"You...are you trying to enlighten me?"
The other glared back.
"What do you want to say?"
"You also occasionally say some words that are a role model for others."
"I'm your mentor... Isn't that what you called me just now?"
An expression of undisguised pride.
"Come on, call me again... maybe I'll consider teaching you all the magic I've studied!"
Hehe~
After just two sentences, everything returned to normal.
The two men walked out from the parade road and had already walked four or five blocks. Because they couldn't run too fast, this speed was based on the fact that the distance was not too far.
"This seems to be near the Mercenary Guild. What are you doing here? Is this what you want to see me?"
"Well, a day ago I had the leader of a famous mercenary group in the capital captured and brought here. My main purpose this time was to find him."
A place near the Mercenary Guild.
The headquarters of Barnier's team of investigators is located here.
According to him, mercenaries are the best investigators because they are exposed to far more things than many ordinary people or even the Imperial Army. It is more reliable to buy intelligence from them than from others because the intelligence provided by mercenaries will not be false.
Barnil and his companions were mercenaries themselves, so they knew more about this than he did.
So Sean just lets them do what they want, and won't interfere too much as long as it's reasonable...
This place became the base camp of the investigators, and the leader of the Wild Hunt mercenaries, who seemed to be named Oliver, was imprisoned in this place.
According to the pattern that Mier can set in advance, you need to draw the correct pattern on the wall and door respectively before entering the door in order to open it.
"This is trap magic! It's difficult for ordinary people... but it's child's play in front of truly high-level wizards." Lucille said beside him.
"Hmm? Is that so? I'm not sure about that, but when you see her later, you can tell her to try to use stronger magic to seal the door next time."
Sean didn't study magic circles much, mainly because the magic book Lucille left him was just a basic work. It had everything, but nothing in-depth...
The two walked in.
Candlelight suddenly lit up in the dark corridor.
"Your Highness, who have you brought here? She has a dangerous aura."
