37. Immortal In The Magic World 1-32

Eli was transmigrated to a world of magic and became immortal. He had endless life and could never die. "Huh? I'm talentless? Then, I'll just train for as long as I need, even if it takes 1000 years. That should be enough for me to become strong." "The skill is hard to learn? Then, I'll take a few dozens of years to research it. There's no way it's that hard, right?" "What? I can sacrifice my life force to gain spirit power? That's a bargain!" "The enemy is here? Hell, I'll just hide for 10000 years. Let's see if he can outlive me. I'll come out once he's dead." This is the story of an immortal who first struggled to live in the world of magic until he became strong enough to slaughter endless worlds.

Chapter 1: Not Too Bad of a Start

Translator: Lonelytree

It hurt!

Darkness came like a tide, and Eli's soul felt as if it was being pierced by countless needles. It was abnormally painful.

Suddenly, a bit of light appeared. He rushed towards the light with all his might. Finally, with a plop, as if breaking out of the water, Eli finally opened his eyes.

...

Eli woke up from his sleep and found himself lying on a wooden bed, and he was in a very unfamiliar room.

This was a dilapidated, narrow wooden house. The house was very small, only about ten square meters. Other than the tattered wooden bed that he was lying on, there seemed to be nothing else in the entire room.

Where was this place?

A second ago, he was still staying up late to work overtime, and the next second, he was here.

Had he transmigrated?

'That can't be. Granted, I was working overtime until midnight for one and a half months. Is it true that it's easier to transmigrate by staying up late and working overtime?'

Eli was a little stunned, looking at the unfamiliar face in front of him in disbelief.

He slowly sat up, and suddenly, a wave of strange yet familiar memories surged into his brain, causing him to let out a soft hiss!

A servant of a noble... A mysterious book... Sacrifice... His soul was taken away.

Fragments of memories surged into Eli's brain like a tide, and he instantly understood his situation.

A year ago, Eli was still a slave of a noble family. In the end, an accident had allowed Eli to escape from the noble family. After that, he ran all the way and arrived in the capital city of the kingdom of Byrne half a month ago. Relying on his literacy, he entered the Imperial Library and became the lowest-ranked librarian.

A few days ago, the host happened to see a hidden book in the library. Then, he secretly brought it back and opened it. Then, a strange wave attacked him.

He felt very uncomfortable and had a terrible headache. So, he lay on the bed and lost his life!

Ridiculous!

This was what it felt like to browse through the memories of the original host.

A book had cost a person his life.

After looking through the memories of the original host, he also understood that he had indeed transmigrated.

Because in this world, there existed true extraordinary powers.

The reason why the host secretly took the book was that he thought the book possessed a secret knight's breathing technique.

"Knights? You must be joking!" The corner of Eli's mouth twitched.

The path of a knight. A knight was someone who focused their strength on fighting in combat, but how did the host die?

Just because he had taken a look at the book, he had died.

And the book contained the secret knight's breathing technique?

This was impossible. This was absolutely impossible.

"Calm down!" Eli rubbed his slightly dizzy head and began to think about his current situation.

The transcendent world... Knight's strength... There were also mysterious books.

'Wait... Books?'

It was as if he suddenly realized something, and he turned his head to look into the distance.

A few meters away, there was a small table. On the table, there was an open book. The table was in the corner, so Eli did not see it earlier.

The book was wrapped in a hard, dark green cover and silver edges. The inside was written in the common language of the Byrne Empire.

This was the book that caused the death of the original host.

However, it seemed that the soul of the original body had already satisfied this evil book. Even if Eli opened it now, it did not seem to cause him any harm.

"How could the host be so careless?" Eli patted his head.

He subconsciously glanced at the book that had been sneaked out of the library.

If it weren't for the fact that the book was already satisfied with one sacrifice, Eli would have died again. It would be quite funny.

Eli sat up on the bed and walked towards the book.

A few meters away, Eli stopped and looked at the book from a distance as if he was facing an evil creature.

Thanks to the fact that this world had yet to be plagued by electronic devices, Eli's vision was excellent, so he could clearly see the contents of the book.

My dear friend:

As you can see, although I don't know who you are, you must remember that before you, there was a poor human who lost his life because of this.

This is a truly extraordinary book. The extraordinary secrets mentioned here do not refer to the inferior, foolish, and weak techniques of the knights but the secrets of the transcendents who had come into contact with the origin of this world.

This is one of my early Magus notes. In addition to a basic meditation technique, there are also many interesting minor spells. Of course, their levels are not very high.

Learning them might require some talent, but since you can browse them normally without feeling dizzy, you should have a talent for wizardry.

That's all. I don't even know if I found "it" in the end.

It was signed by Saleen Metatrin.

This was the complete content of the first page. Eli stood where he was, the corners of his mouth twitching.

It seemed that this world was not as simple as he had thought.

It seemed that there were other studies other than knighthood.

Besides, it had to be said that the host was really unlucky. Even though he obtained this treasured book, he died because of the original owner's little prank and ended up benefiting the transmigrated Eli.

Ads by Pubfuture

It had to be said that everything was fated.

After probing a few more times and making sure that the book wasn't dangerous, Eli gave it a simple look.

A tick of an hourglass later, Eli slowly closed the book.

Just as the title page said, there was a meditation technique recorded in the book, as well as some spells that even Eli thought were extraordinary and a large number of notes.

It was basically a book on how to start a wizard.

"This is not a bad start!" Putting the notebook aside, Eli felt that his luck was pretty good.

Other transmigrators would either start off with some kind of puny monster, have low status, or lack ways to get stronger. However, not only did he have a job as a librarian, but he also had books that could give him great power. On top of all that, he had cheats.

That's right, Eli also had a cheat.

It was just that he was too surprised just now, so he didn't realize it. It was only just now that he reacted.

Eli closed his eyes, and his consciousness began to sink deep into his body.

A spot of light appeared before Eli's eyes.

As his consciousness got closer, the dot of light became bigger and bigger. historical

His consciousness came into contact with the light, and in the next moment, a terrifying scene appeared before his eyes.

In the pitch-black boundless space, an endless river of time ran through the void.

Through it, fragments of time appeared in Eli's eyes.

There was a terrifying snake that was ten thousand meters long swaying its huge body in the void.

There were terrifying creatures with grayish-white eyes that could reach many worlds.

There were worlds that gave birth to life and then gradually headed toward destruction.

There were powerful creatures walking in the endless void.

The images were all random, and Eli couldn't control them.

This process lasted for about ten seconds, and then there was an explosion.

The seemingly endless river of time suddenly compressed and began to shrink. A few seconds later, the river disappeared, leaving behind only a huge spiritual light pillar within Eli's body.

As for this beam of light, Eli vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen the white light in his daze during his long overtime.

He thought it was an illusion due to his dry eyes, but he didn't expect it to follow him here.

But that wasn't for certain. Perhaps it was this pillar of light that brought Eli here.

Eli looked at the light pillar, and the ability that the light pillar had given him subconsciously appeared in his mind.

Eternal life.

After reaching a certain age, his body's essence would no longer change.

To be more precise, his lifespan would not change, but he would still bleed when he was injured and die when he was killed.

It was basically a buff that gave Eli immortality.

So, Eli was an immortal in a magical world...

Chapter 2: Test

Translator: Lonelytree

Immortality?

It sounded ridiculous.

Since ancient times, countless kings and even the people from Earth tirelessly pursued a longer life, using all sorts of methods.

But in the end, Eli achieved this goal so easily.

Many thoughts flashed through Eli's mind.

Now that he had just transmigrated, his understanding of this world was limited to the memories of his original host. However, just from those, he already knew that this world was completely different from Earth.

Whether it was social rules or social systems, they were all quite cruel to commoners. Knights were above ordinary people, and nobles were above most people.

There was danger everywhere.

Since that was the case, he might as well follow the original host's life path and work in the library first, understanding this world while trying to master the book's extraordinary powers.

This should be the safest plan.

'I didn't want to be so laid-back, but this is what I have to do to survive in this world.' He sighed.

"I've made up my mind. I'll slowly develop in the library for a few decades before I leave it."

Eli took a deep breath and immediately made a decision.

Although the period of development was a little long, he was immortal!

A few decades would pass by quickly.

Suddenly, a blinding ray of sunlight shone into Eli's eyes.

Eli turned his head and saw a glimmer of light outside the window, and the sun was already peeking out slightly.

It was dawn.

...

Eli walked out of the house.

The piercing sunlight made him cover his eyes. It was only a few seconds later that he regained his sight.

After confirming the direction, Eli walked towards the library in his memory while observing his surroundings.

He appeared to be in the slums. Most of the buildings were made of stone and wood, looking very dilapidated and low. The roads were also very worn out, and disgusting things could often be seen.

The pedestrians on both sides of the road were also wearing rough linen clothes. Most of them had blue or black eyes, which were the main eye colors of the Byrne Empire. Most of their hair was brown, black, and gold.

On the other hand, Eli was wearing a coarse Linen short-sleeved shirt and shoes. The original host has no property. Fortunately, he had found a job as a librarian. Otherwise, even if Eli had transmigrated, he wouldn't know how to survive.

Coming from a bustling modern city to a backward and extraordinary medieval world, not many people could adapt quickly, not even Eli. This was also why he chose to continue working at the library.

Of course, there was another more important reason, and that was poverty.

Money was just as important in this world. It was the guarantee of survival.

After passing through the slums, Eli entered the urban area.

As soon as he entered the city, the scenery suddenly changed.

Whether it was the buildings or the pedestrians, there was a huge difference between this area and the slums. It could even be said that it was two different worlds.

Soon, Eli, who had passed through a few streets, arrived at his destination.

He looked up.

In front of him was a tall building.

The pure white stone reflected the sun and emitted a soft light. The oval dome was raised, and the outer wall was carefully carved with beautiful sculptures, looking very magnificent.

This was the Imperial Library.

Eli took a deep breath, then entered through a small door on the side.

After passing through a long corridor, Eli came to a small room. He changed into a dark red waistcoat that looked like a waiter's, as well as a pair of black pants. It was the work uniform of the library.

Walking out of the room, Eli walked into the library.

Eli looked up. There was a huge glass window on the top floor. At this moment, the faint sunlight shone in, reflecting all kinds of beautiful colors. All kinds of epic scenes were depicted around it.

There were three levels below, and they were made of a very precious kind of wood in the Empire. The bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books.

"This will be my workplace from now on!"

Eli looked at the library. It was still closed, so he needed to sort out the books first.

Eli had been trained before, so he was very familiar with the process.

As he organized his books, Eli was also thinking about the future.

Naturally, he had to be patient.

However, how to be patient was another problem.

After all, this was a magical world. Although he had the power of immortality, he did not have the power to protect it. Even a trainee knight or a stronger ordinary person could easily kill him.

"So, I need a certain amount of power." Eli put a book on the shelf and thought about how to obtain power.

At present, the Empire was promoting the knights.

Cultivating to be a Knight was a good choice.

However, Eli was not a knight. Knight's law was usually passed down from generation to generation among the nobles. This meant that knights were generally passed down through generations too.

He could either make a contribution to the nobles or receive the reward of practicing the Knight's law, or he could join an organization like the Army. They might provide Knight's law, but these were not suitable for the current Eli.

Therefore, Eli rejected this path, and the only path left was to become a mage. historical

According to the title page, the author of the book seemed to look down on knights, calling them low-level, weak, and ignorant. Did that mean that mages were stronger than knights?

Well, Eli wasn't really given a choice.

In fact, compared to the Knight's training which required a large number of herbs and even money, it seemed that the mage's method, which only required meditation at the beginning, was more suitable for him.

However, the book warned that he would need a lot of money later in his training.

After all, how could a mage's consumption be lower than a knight's?

"Eli, what are you thinking about!!"

Suddenly, a voice was heard. Eli turned around and saw Kart, who was also wearing a vest.

He had a head of golden hair, and his eyes were the common blue. In his memory, he was also one of the librarians.

It was said that his grandfather was once a Baron, but he committed a crime and his family was stripped of their noble status. After that, he came here.

"I'm fine. It's just that I'm a little depressed when I think about how there are so many books here, but I haven't read many of them." Eli wasn't very familiar with Kart, so he decided to blow him off.

Kart ran his fingers through her golden hair, and his gaze stopped on the bookshelf for a few seconds. Then, he turned to Elie and nodded in agreement. "Indeed, I haven't read many books either."

Just as Elie was about to reply, she heard Kate suddenly pause, then say, "I've only read a few hundred books!"

Eli was speechless.

He was prepared to reply with a casual sentence, but Kart followed it up with that. How was Eli supposed to respond?

Although there didn't seem to be a problem with what Kart said, Eli still felt dwarfed.

However, in his memory, Kart was always like this. He always had a sense of superiority. It wasn't that he looked down on others, but he was simply arrogant. He was like the valedictorian on Earth.

"Kart, I suggest you don't talk like that." In the end, Eli couldn't help but advise him.

"What do you mean?" Kart sounded doubtful as if he didn't understand what Eli meant.

"What I mean is, you should speak properly!" The corner of Eli's mouth twitched.

"How is the way I speak not proper?" Kart was confused.

He looked at Eli as if he thought of something and continued, "How are your preparations for the test three months from now? I heard that only two of the new librarians could stay for the test this time. The rest will have to leave."

Test?

What test?

Upon hearing this, Eli was a little stunned.

Chapter 3: Quick Memory

Translator: Lonelytree

Eli was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds for him to find the relevant information from his memory.

Although the original host of the body was a librarian, he did not seem to be an official librarian. He was just a temporary worker. Every year, the library would recruit many such people and then test them all to keep the suitable ones.

During this time, their salaries were not much.

"There's still an internship period in this world too?!" This was something that Eli didn't expect.

After browsing through the memory, he realized that the test was to test some common knowledge and some questions in various aspects. The difficulty was not low, and there was a lot of content. The overall difficulty was quite average.

However, the problem was that the original host had only been in the library for less than a month.

He only knew the general text and had no understanding of the more esoteric things.

In other words, he would definitely be eliminated!

Looking at Eli's frowning expression, the corners of Kart's mouth could not help but curve up. He raised his head, and his golden hair fluttered behind him. He said in an extremely despondent manner, "Yes. This time, only two will remain. In the past, three would stay. The test will be difficult. I wonder if I can pass. If I can't, then I'm done!

"What to do?" historical

Kart's tone was worried, and the corner of Eli's mouth twitched.

'You call that worried?

'I can't see any worry in your eyes. It's clearly joy with a little anticipation and even a little excitement.'

However, this fellow did seem to have the right to say that. In Eli's impression, Kart seemed to have the most knowledge out of all the temporary librarians, and he always scored first in class.

Although Kart was annoying, it was time for Eli to consider the test.

If he didn't want to lose this decent job, he'd better pass this test.

As long as he became a full-time employee of the Imperial Library, he might not be able to live a luxurious life, but it would be enough for him to move out of the narrow and dilapidated slum.

However, in just three months, considering that he still had to work every day, as well as other things, it was by no means an easy task to accumulate enough knowledge to pass the test in this period of time.

As for the books, he could only read them occasionally during his breaks in the library. Apprentices like him could not simply ask to borrow books and take them home. The book he had taken home earlier was completely an accident.

'Wait, there's a zero-circle spell in that book called Quick Memory.' Eli suddenly recalled.

According to the notes, if one advanced to a Level-1 apprentice, one could start learning spells.

Quick memory was one of the most basic zero-circle spells in the apprentice stage. It allowed people to memorize knowledge quickly and was one of the basics for sorcerers to learn and master a large amount of knowledge.

On top of that, there was also the 1st rank barrier-free reading, 2nd rank soul reading... And most importantly, this spell was very simple, almost one of the simplest spells. As long as you advanced to a wizard apprentice, you would be able to master it quickly.

The only obstacle was that Eli needed at least half a month to finish reading all the texts for the test. In other words, he only had two and a half months left to become an apprentice.

After becoming an official librarian, he would be very stable. As long as he didn't commit any crimes, he would almost never be fired. It was very suitable for Eli, who was focused on developing himself.

"So, I'll advance to a level 1 mage first." Eli looked at the bookshelf in front of him and made up his mind.

It was almost eight or nine o 'clock in the morning, and the library's door slowly opened.

One by one, the gentlemen and ladies walked into the library in neat clothes. Most of them were gorgeous. They had much better clothes than Eli's linen clothes.

In this era, reading was a luxury. The poor did not have the energy or the money. Only the rich gentlemen and ladies knew how to read.

As for the nobles, they usually didn't come here. They usually had their own library and would only come here when they wanted to read some books that they didn't have.

On the other hand, seeing that there was no reaction from Eli after listening to his words, Kart seemed to be a little disappointed. However, when he saw that the library's door had opened, he could only helplessly give up on the idea of continuing to chat with Eli and turn to leave.

...

Time passed by as people flipped through the book.

The gentlemen who were reading looked at the setting sun outside the library and knew that it was about time. One by one, they handed their books to the librarians around them and left one by one.

Watching them leave one by one, the corners of Eli's mouth curled up into a smile.

It was a smooth day.

He had done it according to his memory, and there were no mistakes.

Just as he was about to take off his clothes and leave, suddenly, there was a tapping sound. Eli looked over and saw a man in a black robe walking in.

Scholar Clement was the person in charge of the librarian in the library.

He had long brown hair and black pupils. He was holding a thick book in his right hand.

"The temporary librarians, please stay."

As he spoke, most of the librarians in the library slowly left, leaving only a dozen or so to gather around scholar Clement, including Eli and Kart.

"Yes." Scholar Clement nodded in satisfaction and said, "In three months, we will test your abilities. The top two can continue to stay here, while the rest will have to leave. After that, you will be rewarded with a silver Tarl."

The Byrne Empire's currency was divided into gold tarls, silver tarls, and copper tarls, and each increment was 100 to the next tarls.

A silver Tarl was the amount of money a normal laborer could earn in a month. As for Eli, his monthly salary was 50 copper tarls, just barely enough for him to survive.

As for official wardens, they earned a total of five silver tarls a month, not counting the tips that the gentlemen and ladies might give. This was also one of the important reasons why Eli was determined to stay here.

The librarian was a highly paid job.

Hearing scholar Clement's words, everyone's eyes lit up. However, when they thought about how they might not pass, their hearts sank again, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

It seemed like Clement had only wanted to make an announcement. He turned around and left, leaving only a few dozen temporary workers standing there.

Eli looked around. Most people were discussing in groups of twos and threes, and the most " pessimistic " one was undoubtedly Kart, whom he was more familiar with.

At this moment, he was standing in the middle of a few people and sighed. "It'll so difficult this time. I feel that I'm in danger too. The library only needs two people. Actually, one silver tarl is also good ..."

As if sensing Eli's gaze, Kart looked up and scanned his surroundings. He saw Eli's gaze coincidentally on him. His eyes lit up, and he walked towards him.

When Eli saw this, he immediately pretended not to see it and quickly returned to the changing room. He didn't need to hear the same boasting again.

After changing his clothes, Eli walked out of the library.

On his way home, Eli looked at the Silver Moon in the sky, the passing carriages, and the poor people in linen clothes. It was only then that he realized that everything had changed.

"Don't be reckless. We'll talk about other things when we're strong enough," muttered Eli as he looked at the silver moonlight.

He did not forget that there were extraordinary powers in this world.

Chapter 4: No Talent but I have Time

Translator: Lonelytree

Soon, Eli returned home and lit up the oil lamp filled with animal fat.

This was an oil lamp that was commonly used in this world. Not only was it bad for the eyes, but it was also accompanied by a strange choking smell. It was usually used by the poor.

However, he couldn't care less about that. Under the dim light, he impatiently took out his notes.

Looking at the silver-edged book, Eli's emotions surged.

Who didn't fantasize about mastering supernatural powers when they were young? It was just that the reality of his previous life didn't allow it. But now, a real chance to master the magical was placed in front of Eli, so how could he not be excited?

He flipped open the book.

He passed by the meaningless ravings of the original author, Saleen Metatrin, and arrived at the page for the meditation technique.

According to the notes, Wizards and Knights were completely different. Knights relied on their physical bodies, while Wizards relied on their mental strength to interfere with reality. The natural meditation technique increased mental strength.

As for Mage's meditation method, it was to use Mage's mental strength to come into contact with the elemental world and then merge it with the elements to achieve the purpose of increasing mental strength.

The process was simple, and what Eli had to do was to complete the first step, which was to feel the elemental world.

As long as one could feel the world of elements and complete one's first complete meditation, one could be considered a beginner sorcerer-apprentice or a Level-1 mage.

This process was very difficult but also very simple.

According to what Saleen Metatrin had said, the duration of a mage's training could be as short as a few days to half a month or as long as one to two months. The duration would not be too long, and the longest would not exceed four months. historical

"I wonder how talented I am." Eli was a little curious, hoping that everything would go according to the plan.

The meditation method was not very long, and Eli quickly memorized it. Closing his notebook, he recited it twice to make sure that he had not forgotten anything. Then, Eli took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and prepared to start his first meditation.

Two hours later.

Eli slowly opened his eyes.

He had failed.

For two whole hours, he tried to sense the elemental realm, but he could not sense anything. There was only a vague feeling, but he could not capture it.

The notes had described this situation before, and it was normal.

What he had to do was turn that trace into a real entity within two months. From there, he could truly sense the elements' realm and step into the extraordinary realm.

Sensing the elemental world was part of Eli's plan. After all, even if he was a top talent, it was impossible for him to succeed on his first try. Eli also understood that his talent might not be that good.

Eli wasn't discouraged by his first failure, but after a while, he closed his eyes again and started his second cogitation.

The result was obvious. The second attempt was still a failure.

Observing the sky through the window, Eli knew it was late, so he hid the book and went to sleep.

That was the first day that Eli arrived in this world.

'I hope I can become a Level-1 mage as soon as possible.'

Before going to sleep, Eli thought.

...

Two months later.

"Damn, I failed again."

In the room, Eli's brows were tightly furrowed. His attempt to perceive the elemental world had failed once again.

It had been two months since Eli's first meditation. He had gradually adapted to life here, to the path filled with feces and garbage, to the hard black bread, and to work in the library.

During this period of time, Eli persisted in his meditation every day while learning the relevant knowledge to work hard for the upcoming test.

Although he felt good about himself, he was still a lot worse than those who had learned since young. In the past two months, Kart had changed his work area, so Eli rarely saw him, and he was very happy about that.

Of course, the most important thing was still the progress of breaking through to a Level-1 mage.

He was still stuck at the first step.

That's right. He hadn't sensed the existence of the elements realm yet.

Eli had originally thought that his talent might not be considered good, but it shouldn't be bad either, but reality told him that his talent should be at the rock bottom part.

"At my current pace, I'm afraid I'll have to find another way out in a month." Eli frowned and pondered.

Being a librarian was undoubtedly a good job. If he left, he was afraid that it would be difficult to find a job with such a good environment and good pay in a short time.

The other option was to do manual labor, which was something that Elie was unwilling to accept.

Fortunately, the book provided the solution.

Eli took out the hidden notebook from the groove on the wooden bed against the wall and flipped it open.

The book was very thick, and the paper was very hard. It was about a hundred pages long. Eli began to flip through it, and his powerful memory allowed him to find the page he wanted to see.

"Crush the White-curled flower. Its smell could help you sense the element's realm!"

The White-curled flower was a precious medicinal material. For Knights, it was very effective in healing wounds, but for Mage, it was one of the important means to sense the elemental realm in the early stages.

The reason why he didn't buy it before was that he was too poor. He just happened to receive his salary a few days ago, and a gentleman gave him a tip a few days ago, which made him think of this method.

In fact, it was not a big deal that his meditation was slow.

After all, he was immortal.

As long as he kept meditating, he would be able to sense the elemental realm one day. This was not a problem because he had never heard of an apprentice who could not even sense the elemental realm.

Eli was not too worried about his slow progress. Although he was not very talented, as long as he meditated, his spiritual power would always improve, and he would eventually reach that limit.

Although this time could be 20 years, 30 years, 50 years, or even 100 years.

He did not care about any of that. After all, as long as he could advance, time was not a problem for him. Mortal species were always in a hurry, and their short lives were an important reason. However, to him, it was the exact opposite. This was also why Elie had set the general route of advancing by farming.

This might not be exciting enough, but it was the most suitable path for him.

The only obstacle in this path was to find a place where he could farm in peace.

Eli had chosen the library.

This was also the reason why Eli was a little anxious.

He had no choice. If he wanted to "farm" safely, he had to have a 'field' first!

The library wasn't bad. Not only were there a large number of books for him to read, but the place wasn't as simple as it seemed. The head of the library was said to have a close relationship with the Emperor.

"so, I'll first buy some White-curled flowers and advance to an apprentice. Then, I'll learn Quick Memory and pass the exam. And then, I'll stay in the library until I can't."

Eli went into detail about what to do next and immediately took out all his belongings from the groove.

Two silver tarls and thirty-four copper tarls.

This was only because he had saved up his salary for the past two months.

"I'm poor!" Eli sighed. He did not know the exact price of the White-curled flower, but he knew that it was not cheap.

Chapter 5: Level-1 Mage

Translator: Lonelytree

After passing through a small path, Eli tightened his clothes and kept the silver tarls he had brought with him.

He was heading to the market that sold herbs.

The market was located in the eastern part of the Imperial City, Junlin city. Eli had to pass through the slums and the city to reach it, and he chose to take the main road.

After all, although this was the capital, one should understand that there were shadowy places. In the dark paths, there were gangs, thugs, and dangerous people.

Soon, he arrived at the market.

After a simple inquiry, Eli walked into a pharmacy.

"Do you have any White-curled flowers?" In front of the oak counter, Eli knocked on the table and asked the person inside.

The counter staff was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He had a pair of brown eyes that looked very weak, but when he heard Eli's voice, his eyes gradually began to light up, and he replied with a smile, "yes, yes. A white flower is twenty copper tars."

It was so expensive!

"Why is it so expensive? " Eli asked. After the White-curled flower was activated, the aura it emitted could only last for an hour. One was definitely not enough. It would need at least a week's portion, which was seven.

Seven of them would be one silver Tarl and forty copper tarls.

"Sir, the White-curled flower grows in the dark swamps and is often surrounded by venomous snakes and scorpions. It's very difficult to collect it!

"Every single one of these White-curled flowers is hard to come by!" The shop assistant shouted.

"Make it cheaper. I'll buy more." Eli ignored him and said directly.

"Are you an apothecary?" The shop assistant asked curiously. One had to know that ordinary people would not need large amounts of herbs at all. Only an apothecary would.

"No."

"Oh, never mind then." Since he wasn't an apothecary, the shop assistant wasn't as excited. He then looked at Eli's outfit and said, " how about this? If you buy more than ten flowers at once, I can give you a discount of five coppers. That's already a big discount. If you buy more than five flowers, it's two coppers cheaper."

"Then give me ten flowers," Eli said after thinking for a moment.

Seven flowers might not be enough, but ten should be enough.

Furthermore, it was not a big deal to have some flowers left. White-curled flowers were one of the ingredients for many basic potions.

"Alright," he said. The shopkeeper smiled and walked into the small house at the back. When he came out again, he had ten packed white flowers in his hand.

The goods exchanged.

After paying, he left.

...

Back home, Eli took out the White-curled flower. historical

White-curled flower was a kind of rice-white flower with meaty petals. Its roots drooped down like tentacles. It was hard to imagine that this ordinary-looking plant could help to sense the elemental world.

He crushed a White-curled flower and placed it into a container he had prepared in advance. A faint floral fragrance immediately spread out.

When he smelled it, Eli felt his entire body shiver.

Knowing that time was precious, Eli immediately sat on the bed and began his first meditation of the day.

A refreshing smell filled the room. Eli closed his eyes and began to sense the elemental world.

In his haziness, spots of elemental light began to appear in his consciousness. Those were the elements, but it was as if there was a layer of membrane between him and the elements. He could see them, but he could not touch them.

The smell of the White-curled flower kept stimulating Eli's spirit, and the distance between them was shortened bit by bit.

An hour later, Eli opened his eyes, revealing an excited expression.

Although he still couldn't sense the elements realm this time, he could feel that with the help of the White-curled flower, he would definitely be able to sense the elements realm in half a month or even shorter.

"We're almost there,"

The White-curled flower was indeed effective, but it was a little expensive.

If Eli had enough money, he could buy a large number of white-curled flowers directly. He believed that he would be able to sense the elemental world in less than three days, but his life was helpless and poor!

However, it didn't matter. As long as he advanced to an apprentice, everything would be fine.

...

Ten days later.

"It's today." Eli looked at the last white flower in front of him calmly.

With the help of the White-curled flower, Eli had finally touched the boundary of the elemental realm, and he was only one step away. Today was the day he would break through to become a Level 1 Mage.

Crushing the White-curled flower, as usual, Eli entered a state of meditation.

In his empty consciousness, Eli was like a ghost, and all around him were elemental particles that were almost clear, floating freely in the air.

Finally, all of a sudden, it was as if an invisible barrier had disappeared.

There were no more obstacles between Eli and the elemental world. A large number of elemental particles instantly drowned Eli, transforming this weak body that was in contact with elements for the first time.

At first, he wanted to observe this state in detail, but as he came into contact with the elements, he only felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier. Finally, after more than ten minutes, he fell into a deep sleep.

It was already late at night by the time he woke up.

"So, am I an apprentice mage now?"

Eli sat up. Even with his eyes open, he could still feel the faint elements around him.

His mental strength seemed to have achieved a breakthrough as well. This made Eli feel that he could sense his surroundings more clearly. In fact, as long as he thought about it carefully, he could even recall everything that had happened a few days ago.

Of course, this was not the most exciting thing. The most exciting thing was that he could finally learn Quick Memory.

"There's still time. There's still time for everything." Eli finally heaved a sigh of relief.

If he failed to break through to Level 1 after three months, he would be in deep trouble. Fortunately, it only took him two months and ten days to break through.

To be honest, it had taken too long, but Eli felt fine. After all, there wasn't anyone else around him to compare to. Speaking of this, Eli noticed something strange.

He had been in the library for two months, but he had not heard anything about Mages. It seemed like this was really a Kingdom for Knights.

"It seems that the owner of that book is not simple!" Eli thought of the author of the notebook, Saleen Metatrin, but he did not know who he was.

"Forget it. Let's not think about that. I should focus on the spell model of Quick Memory." There was no answer after thinking for a long time, so Eli simply gave up. After all, none of this had anything to do with him at the moment.

His main goal now was to learn Quick Memory.

According to the notes on the things to take note of when casting witchcraft, Eli focused his mental strength and then used his mental strength to draw a model of Quick Memory in his consciousness.

Because it was his first time, every step of his was taken with great care. However, because he was still not very familiar with it, he failed when he was constructing the entire rune.

As this didn't consume too much of his spiritual power, he began to draw the model again after 10 minutes of reflection and rest. After three failures, he finally completed the rune,

Quick Memory, learned!

Chapter 6: The Knight

Translator: Lonelytree

The next day, facing the morning sun, Eli headed to the library. historical

On the way, Eli felt the difference after becoming a Level-1 apprentice.

The breakthrough of his mental powers changed the world in Eli's mind all of a sudden. Everything around him became clear and visible, and his brain's speed of operation also increased.

As long as he was within a certain range, he could clearly sense all the movements.

There were hurried passers-by with anxious expressions, smiling young ladies, and some people who deliberately leaned into the crowd, their eyes darting around. They didn't seem to be good people.

It was clear that this was the perception of a wizard. A mage's perception, memory, and many other aspects completely outclassed a Knight's.

In fact, even an advanced Knight might not be able to match up to his current perception.

Just as Eli was walking and feeling the changes, he suddenly felt an abundant, powerful life force appear behind him like a ferocious beast.

With the clattering of hooves, Eli turned his head.

A few meters away, a strong man was riding a strong horse in the middle of the road.

The brawny man was very tall and well-built, and his ordinary casual clothes were stretched out by his muscles. A huge sword hung on one side of the horse, shining with a sharp cold light.

Needless to say, he was definitely a Knight.

Whether it was the sword in his hand or the Knight servants following him on both sides, all of these indicated his special identity.

And from the Knight badge on his chest, he was an intermediate Knight.

Knights were divided into low-level Knights, intermediate Knights, high-level Knights, Grand Knights, and Sky Knights.

A low-level Knight was able to use his vitality to increase his strength, which was beyond the limits of a human. An intermediate Knight was even more powerful, with more vitality, and more lasting strength. A high-level Knight was able to completely stack his strength and even control every muscle in his body. Dozens of people would not be able to get close to him.

As for Grand Knight and Sky Knight, Eli didn't know much about them.

Furthermore, as the backbone of this world, Knights generally enjoyed very good treatment in the Empire. Most of them were nobles or came from great bloodlines, and their status was high.

However, according to the book, as long as one was well prepared, a Level-1 apprentice could even kill a high-level Knight. As such, Saleen Metatrin's notes were filled with disdain for Knights.

However, despite his disdain, this Empire was still controlled by Knights.

Knights were the mainstream, and Saleen Metatrin's Magus system seemed to have popped out of nowhere.

Opposite this Knight was another Knight.

A golden-haired Knight with eyes as sharp as an Eagle's was staring at the brawny man in front of him.

"Elvis, are you looking for trouble with me?" The brawny Knight cast a glance at the golden-haired Knight and said.

"You are the one who is in my way," The Knight named Elvis didn't back down either. The badge with two swords on his chest showed that he was also an intermediate Knight.

"Then let's have a duel." The brawny man looked at Elvis and said directly.

Duel!

The solution to problems between Knights.

And from the crowd's discussion, Eli also understood what had happened.

It turned out that the knight named Elvis had bumped into the other knight's path, which led to this conflict.

It sounded ridiculous.

However, Eli, who had been here for more than two months, felt that it was normal.

That was how the world worked. Even a bottle of honey could be the reason for a fight between two knights.

Even two earls could start a war for various reasons, such as the ownership of a farmer or a good warhorse.

Within the Empire, there were constant battles.

In a war, Knights were the main combat force. They were extremely brave. In front of them, ordinary people, unless they were wearing heavy armor, would die in one blow.

Even if the war failed and the Knights were captured, they would not be killed. Instead, they would be held captive, and their families or Lords would pay a large amount of money to redeem them.

This was a world where only ordinary people suffered.

"Good!" In the face of the Knight's provocation, Elvis nodded his head.

Then, under the gazes of the commoners, the two knights swaggered away.

Along the way, no one dared to block the way. Everyone dodged.

The two knights were both riding on horses, and they seemed to take everything for granted. They looked at the civilians around them without any fluctuations in their eyes. Only when they looked at each other occasionally did their eyes sparkle like sparks.

Dozens of meters away, Eli saw this scene. The Knights were walking towards him, so he quickly stepped aside as well, not wanting to cause any trouble.

"What a bad world!" After the two knights left, Elie stood there and said softly.

From the gazes of the two knights who passed by just now, Eli saw a sense of superiority, just like how ordinary humans looked at their pets.

They would appreciate you, communicate with you normally, and even protect you from danger, but deep down, they would still despise you. It was not discrimination. Discrimination was looking down on you, and this was complete indifference.

This was a Knight.

In the eyes of the Knights, the status of ordinary people was even worse than what Eli had imagined.

At this moment, a few meters away from Eli, a child looked at him, who was standing on the spot and revealed an excited expression. He looked around, then rubbed his hands and came over.

He reached for the money bag beside Eli with one hand while observing his actions.

'Very good, his eyes are staring straight ahead as if he is not on guard at all.'

The child suppressed the joy in his heart. 'My first job of the day!'

However, just as he was about to touch the money bag, a hand grabbed his wrist.

The child looked at Eli, who had turned his head around, and revealed an incredulous expression. He looked at the money bag, then at Eli, as if he had seen a ghost.

'Do you have eyes on the back of your head?

'I haven't even touched it yet. How the hell did you find out?

'This doesn't make sense!'

On the other hand, Eli glanced at the boy in front of him. He was dressed in tattered linen clothes and was very thin. He shook his head, then let go of his hand and left.

There were many such children in this world, and most of them belonged to gangs. They were used as money-making tools by gangs. It was very pitiful, and there was no need for Eli to make things difficult for them.

The main thing was that it was indeed troublesome. Even if he handed him over to the sheriff, the sheriff would let him go. After all, he was just a child, and it was difficult to give an effective punishment.

The child who was released also looked grateful. Then, he ran into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"This world!" Eli touched his empty pocket and sighed.

He had sensed the child's bad intentions with his extraordinary wizard senses, but even if he didn't do anything, the result would still be the same.

He had no money at all. Since he had no money, how could he be stolen from?

"Damn it. I'm going to be late."

As if he had suddenly realized something, he immediately ran towards the library.

Chapter 7: Suggestion

Translator: Lonelytree

"The timing is just right!"

Eli panted heavily as he came to the library's changing room.

A weak body was an inevitable weakness of a mage in the early stages. Although the apprentice stage could also increase one's physical strength, the increase was relatively limited. There was still a certain gap between them and the Knights.

There was a magic potion in Saleen Metatrin's notes that could directly raise a wizard's physique to that of a high-level Knight, but most of the ingredients were things that Eli had never even heard of before, let alone concocting.

He didn't even have the most basic crystal ball for the Wizards.

He was probably the poorest wizard in history.

'When I have money, I'll definitely make a good crystal ball for myself first.' Eli fantasized.

However, he could only think about it for now. After all, the price of crystals was not low.

"Eli, you were almost late."

There were other people in the changing room. Roland, a handsome 16-year-old boy with black hair and blue eyes, was his new friend of Eli. He was also the nephew of a Baron, and his father was a small businessman.

"There was a slight delay today," Eli said with a smile.

Roland had only arrived last month, so he was not a competitor to Eli at all. In addition, Eli was rather gentle, so their relationship was naturally not too bad.

"that's good. I was worried that something had happened to you." Roland was relieved to see that, and then he came over and asked, "How are your preparations for the test?"

There was a test every six months, and he had to take it a few months later, so he was more concerned about this.

"It's alright. I'm still quite confident."

Although that was what Eli said on the surface, in reality, his progress was probably the slowest out of everyone. After all, meditation took up most of his free time, so he naturally did not have much time left for learning.

Therefore, in the next half a month, he would reduce the time he spent meditating and shift his attention to studying.

"Good luck then." Roland encouraged him and walked out. historical

Although he felt that Eli was a good friend, in terms of the knowledge he had, he didn't seem to be that good. There was a high chance that Eli would be eliminated.

It was a pity.

Looking at the complicated expression in Roland's eyes, Eli naturally understood what it meant.

It couldn't be helped. He really didn't know much before coming to this world.

'I'll work hard for half a month. I want to stay at the Imperial Library!' For some reason, Eli thought of this sentence and smiled.

Half a month's time was enough.

After changing into a red vest and black pants, Eli stood in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, there was a handsome young man with black hair and eyes as deep as the night. Although his facial features were not particularly outstanding, he looked very comfortable.

After briefly tidying up his appearance, Eli walked out with a smile.

Today, he didn't need to be in charge of receiving people outside. He only needed to organize the bookshelves.

The work in the library wasn't difficult, but one had to have certain qualities. Otherwise, the gentlemen and ladies would only think that this place was too low-end and wouldn't come here.

Time always passed quickly at work.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

The orange setting sun shone through the glass dome, dyeing the library red. Together with the sculptures and murals on the walls, it was as beautiful as a painting, which was one of the features of the Imperial Library.

Eli stretched his body, looked at the neatly arranged bookshelves in front of him, and smiled.

The working hours of an official administrator were usually only half a day, but part-time jobs like theirs were all day long. However, seeing that the test was about to begin, scholar Clement allowed them to stay in the library after the afternoon to read until the library closed.

"What should I study?" Eli was in a difficult position.

The Imperial Library was the largest library in the Bryne Empire. There were more than tens of thousands of books in the library. They were as vast as the stars, and there was a variety of books. From music to mathematics, from the ocean to astronomy, from history to the human body.

The host's knowledge about the test was limited. He was not familiar with the test because he was too focused on becoming a mage. It would be difficult to find a suitable book to read from the hundreds of thousands of books.

Just then, a man in a black robe walked out of a room dozens of meters away. It was scholar Clement.

Eli's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the best person to ask for advice?

He immediately walked over with small steps. Scholar Clement also saw him and stopped. He asked curiously, "Do you need something?"

The library was a relatively independent Department compared to the Empire. Scholar Clement relied on his knowledge step by step to reach his current position, so he was not as arrogant as the nobles.

"good day, scholar. I'd like to ask what I should study for the test. " Eli asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Eh?"

Scholar Clement looked at Eli with a strange expression.

Although he didn't announce it, he was actually one of the question-setters. So, at this moment, Eli's question was like asking the answer from the examiner, so it was no wonder his expression was strange.

"What's your name?" Clement asked curiously. It was not a secret, so he was not very strict.

"Scholar, my name is Eli Lucifer."

'Eli' was just his name. The full name of the original host was 'Eli Lucifer'.

"That's a good name," Clement nodded. "you can read on history and heraldry. These are very popular topics recently. There is also some general knowledge that you should read."

"Yes, thank you, scholar." Elie nodded in thanks.

"You're welcome. Good luck." Scholar Clement encouraged him and quickly left.

He couldn't hold it in anymore.

He really wanted to laugh.

He had been a scholar for many years, but this was the first time someone had asked him directly.

In the state of mental power, Eli looked at the scholar's slightly shrugging shoulders and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, not understanding what had just happened.

'He must have thought of something funny.'

However, this was not important. Knowing what to learn was just the first step. In the next half a month, he would have to absorb all the knowledge.

" The history of the Empire", "the geography of the Empire", " heraldry of the nobles," and "world encyclopedia."

Soon, Eli found the right books, and after reporting, he brought the four books into a small reading room in the library.

In the reading room, Eli lit up a candle and put it on the lampshade, then began to read.

The candles were provided by the library, so it would be a waste not to use them.

Under the bright candlelight, Eli took a deep breath and quickly constructed the spiritual model of the Quick Memory Spell in his mind.

A few seconds later, a glimmer of light flashed through his eyes. He lowered his head, flipped open the book, and began to read.

Chapter 8: Learning

Translator: Lonelytree

What was the fastest way to understand a world?

Eli thought it was history.

History was not just a simple record of what happened in the past. It also bore all the traces of the world's past, as well as the changes in thought and appearance.

As Eli browsed through 'the complete history of the Empire', he also gained a deeper understanding of this world.

Of course, he had a deeper understanding of the Byrne Empire.

Located to the South of the dark Mountain range and North of the endless sea, there were four duchies under the Empire. They were the Frostwolf Duchy, the Furious Lion Duchy, the Elk Duchy, and the giant whale Duchy.

The four dukedoms were located on four different sides of the Empire, and they were managed by the four Dukes. Jun Ling city was located in the center of the Empire, and it managed the vast lands of the Empire. It also coordinated the various Marquises, Earls, barons, and Viscounts, as well as other forces.

Each noble territory was managed on its own, and the Empire would not ask for too much. Thus, even though the Empire was in a unified state, there were still ongoing wars.

There was even a saying.

Every noble had started a war with the king.

Of course, this was just a joke, but it could also reflect the current situation of this huge Empire.

"The history of the Empire " was about everything that happened from the establishment of the Empire to its subsequent development. It had detailed information about every war and some major events.

However, the strange thing was that the name of the first king who established the kingdom was not written on it. Eli was a little surprised, but he did not care.

Eli sat on the chair and flipped through the book page by page.

He only read each page once. If it were from someone else's point of view, they would see that Eli was flipping through the book as if he was randomly flipping through it. He flipped through the book quickly, as if he was just casually perusing.

But only Eli himself knew that he had really remembered everything.

"This is too good." He had never felt this way before. Eli was experiencing what having a photographic memory felt like.

One by one, the words were imprinted into Eli's brain as if they were carved into his brain, never to be forgotten. Every word, every punctuation mark, he could remember them clearly.

If Eli had such a memory in his previous life, he wouldn't need to work overtime for more than a month. He should be the one who made others work overtime.

After reading the entire history of the Empire for a while, Eli closed it and put it to one side, and opened the 'heraldry of nobles' on the other side.

If there was a place where the empire's history was reflected, it was in the heraldry.

At first, the heraldry was just a badge that represented the identity of a family. However, as the Empire developed, it was also instilled with deeper meaning by the nobles and Knights. In addition to the representative symbols, the nobles would also engrave some symbols of historical significance to highlight the honor of the family.

It could be said that a herald was the history of a noble family.

As far as he knew, the four Dukes' emblems were Frost Wolf, angry lion, elk, and a giant whale.

The king's herald was the violet flower, so the family of the king was also called the violet family, which represented their Supreme honor.

Therefore, heraldry had always been one of the most popular fields in the Empire. It was also known by the nobles in Junlin city as an elegant knowledge that only true nobles could master.

Of course, this was just an excuse from the nobles.

Naturally, Eli wouldn't take it to heart, but he would still study it. After all, it was part of his examination.

If it were any other country, he might not even look at it, but he still had to live here for a long time, all which meant that Eli had to master it.

"Three days should be enough." Eli looked down at the four books he had obtained.

These books were not independent of each other, and they were all in the area mentioned by scholar Clement.

"After I master this, I'll memorize a few dozen more books. There shouldn't be any problems!" Eli memorized the unique heralds one by one as he flipped through the study of the Empire's history.

He didn't know how difficult the test would be, so he could only try his best.

Time passed by slowly.

Eli was immersed in his book and had completely lost track of time.

...

"Eh, there's still someone here?!"

Clement returned to the library with the books in his arms.

As a scholar, he also had to take care of some noble inquiries, which was why he had gone out just now. As soon as he finished his work and returned, he saw that the reading room, which was supposed to be closed, was still lit.

"It must be some careless brat who forgot to turn off the lights." Scholar Clement frowned.

He put the tidied books aside and walked towards the reading room. He saw Eli, who was still reading with his head lowered.

"It's that kid from earlier today." Seeing the unfamiliar figures inside, scholar Clement thought of something.

'Wasn't this the kid who had asked him what he should study for the exam?

'What is he doing? He's reading! historical

'I did say that I would allow them to stay and read.

'But ... You call this reading?' The corners of scholar Clement's mouth twitched as he watched Eli quickly flip through the book.

That speed was simply outrageous.

This was complete nonsense!

"Eli, What are you doing?" As a veteran scholar, scholar Clement could no longer tolerate Elie's blasphemy of knowledge and angrily shouted.

Upon hearing the voice, Eli looked up and saw the Furious scholar Clement.

Eli was a little confused, but looking at the slowly approaching scholar Clement, he said with uncertainty, " I'm reading a book ... Is there a problem? "

"Reading books? You call that reading?" Scholar Clement's mouth twitched.

A page per second, you call that reading?

"I've already been observing you for half a minute. During this time, I've seen you flipping through your books aimlessly. Eli, I thought you were a good kid, but you've disappointed me." Scholar Clement shook his head, looking at Elil with a disappointed expression.

Not expecting such a thing to happen, Eli immediately said, "scholar Clement, I was really reading. I've read the first few pages, so I quickly flipped through them again."

He had no choice. He couldn't possibly say that he had the Quick Memory spell.

"Are you telling me that you've memorized everything?" Scholar Clement also realized that he was a little agitated, but he still asked, "I don't believe that!"

"I do," Eli replied.

"You do?" Clement felt his anger igniting. He stared at Eli and said, " alright, let me test you. If you can't answer, you don't need to take the test.

"let me ask you, how many Baron territories are there in the Empire, " Scholar Clement asked a question that he thought was very cunning. After all, who would remember the number of barons?

"Two thousand two hundred and twenty-one." Eli blurted out.

Clement was speechless.

He took the book to check. It was really 2221.

'Coincidence, it must be a coincidence.'

Ten minutes later.

Clement stood in place with a dazed expression.

Chapter 9: Noble Character

Translator: Lonelytree

Scholar Clement left with a confused expression.

"This doesn't make sense!" On the way out of the reading room, scholar Clement was a little confused.

He had only embarrassed Eli in a moment of anger. Even if Eli couldn't answer him, it wouldn't be a big deal. He would just educate him a little and let him off.

After all, who hadn't made mistakes before?

But thinking back to the question just now, no matter what he asked, Eli would be able to answer quickly, as if he didn't need to recall.

It took a full ten minutes.

He actually wasn't able to quiz Eli.

It was as if he had memorized all the content even though the content that Eli had just flipped through was probably close to a hundred pages. He actually remembered all of it. That couldn't be possible, right?

Scholar Clement thought that he was quite knowledgeable already, but it was impossible for him to remember so many things so clearly.

"Ah, he must have studied for a long time." Scholar Clement said with a sigh.

This amount of memory wasn't something that could be completed in a few days. It would take at least a few months or even a year.

That was very hard!

Scholar Clement automatically imagined a scene in his mind. In a dilapidated wooden house, a young man endured the choking smell and studied with difficulty.

"He's a hardworking child!" For a moment, scholar Clement felt a little ashamed. He was ashamed that he had almost wronged a hardworking young man.

"However, the test is a comprehensive one. He might be good at history, but he's average in other aspects. It'll be difficult for him to pass."

Scholar Clement shook his head.

The test was comprehensive. The rich families indeed had a huge advantage over the commoners, not to mention the poor. The number of people who passed was generally very small, or even none.

In this era, one's family background determined how much knowledge one could come into contact with.

"It's a pity," Scholar Clement sighed and went up to the second floor. He still had some work to do.

...

'It seems that the effect of quick memory is really good.'

In the reading room, Eli looked at Clement's back as he left and thought to himself.

At that time, he was completely focused on the book, so he didn't notice that scholar Clement was already standing outside the room. Of course, this was also because he was a new mage and wasn't very familiar with the powers yet.

However, in the test just now, Eli had also verified that quick memory was indeed amazing.

An ordinary person might need a few months to memorize something completely, but he could completely master it in half an hour.

The mages were too powerful.

Memory and soul were all aspects that mages were good at. In terms of strength, mages were probably above Knights.

According to the notes, as long as one became an official Magus, even a Sky Knight would be no more than a slightly larger ant that could be easily dealt with by a Magus.

But thinking of his talent, Eli smacked his lips.

With his trashy talent, he would probably never be able to become a powerful wizard in his entire life. He would probably only reach the stage of a Level-3 apprentice at the end of his life.

"But it's a good thing that I'm immortal!" The corners of Eli's mouth curled up slightly.

If it were an ordinary mage facing this situation, their heart would be filled with despair, and then they would lie flat or even use some special means to increase their spiritual force forcibly.

But Eli didn't panic at all, and he was very calm.

It didn't matter if he was lacking in talent. At least he had time.

Even if his meditation speed was slow, at least it was still increasing.

If it were in his previous life, this would be a waste.

But at this moment, Eli felt that this was the path he should choose.

Fighting and killing didn't suit him.

He was immortal. Why would he fight some short-lived species?

If Eli's enemies died, they would lose a few decades. If he dies, it'll be a huge loss. That's an endless lifespan! Rounding it up, he'll lose an entire world!

That would be too much of a loss. It was completely unequal!

Eli would win with the power of patience. What? Were you too powerful? No problem. He would just wait until you die of old age.

What? Was he not talented enough to master this?

Then, he would study for a hundred years or even a thousand years.

The thing that an immortal did not lack the most was time, which was also an important reason why he was very cautious during this period of time. historical

But that was all for the future. For the current Eli, he was still too weak.

He was so weak that he could die from any accident, which was why he decided to join the library, find a place to settle down, and then quietly learn the power of a mage.

"Next, I'll have to wait for the test in 15 days. No, I think it's only 14 days." After much consideration, Eli sat down and continued reading.

The test was coming, so he had to continue working hard.

...

At night, Roland came in to remind him that it was time to go. Only then did Eli stretch his body and close the book.

It was already midnight, and the library was about to close.

Turning off the candle, Eli returned the books he had borrowed one by one and walked out of the library with Roland. Roland had only returned so late because he had work to do tonight.

At the entrance of the library, they chatted.

"Eli, are you going to Liuying Street?" Roland said with a smile.

"No," Eli refused.

Liuying Street was located in the underground city district of Jun Lin city. It was the red light district and s one of the favorite entertainment venues of Jun Lin city's citizens.

Not to mention ordinary citizens, there might even be nobles in some high-end places.

"That's a pity." Roland shook his head and left quickly. As the nephew of a noble, his family was not too poor, so he often went there.

Eli looked at the Silver Moon outside, touched his empty pocket, and let out a long sigh.

Liuying Street!

When he has money...

At this moment, scholar Clement had also finished his work and was about to leave the library. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Eli standing at the entrance, and a different light flashed in his eyes.

It's already midnight!

Everyone else had left, but Eli studied until this moment before leaving.

"What a hardworking young man." Under the moonlight, Clement smiled kindly.

As expected, he had misunderstood Eli earlier. He was ashamed!

...

In the next ten days, after working during the day, Eli read and memorized madly. Other than the history and heraldry he had initially focused on, he had also read a lot of other materials. He had more or less dabbled in various aspects, and his meditation had slowed down.

In just a dozen days, Eli's knowledge had undergone a complete change. If it was at the level of a kindergarten before, it was now at least at the level of a high school student, and some of his studies had even reached the level of a college student.

During this process, Roland would invite him to " visit " Liuying Street from time to time, but he would be sternly " rejected " by Eli, not because he didn't want to but because he didn't have the money.

This made Roland admire Eli's character very much.

In this context, Eli waited for more than three months.

The test was finally here.

Chapter 10: Testing

Translator: Lonelytree

On this day, the imperial library opened as usual, but it closed earlier than usual.

Some people who didn't know the reason were confused at first, but after being told the reason, they all nodded in agreement and left.

There was an exam!

The Empire's library was not just a library. It was also one of the places in Junlin city that nurtured talents. Every year, it would nurture some outstanding scholars.

Although their numbers could not be compared to that of the Empire's Knight Academy and the Empire's Mystic Academy, it could not be ignored that many of the Empire's higher-ups had also walked out from here.

Every year in June and December, the selection of the librarian would be held here.

A librarian was the lowest level at the library.

From there, there were learners, scholars, and Grand scholars.

The head of the library was a Grand scholar and a Grand Knight. He was even one of the king's aides and was considered one of the people with high status in the Empire.

After all, even the Knights, who despised ordinary people, had a different attitude toward scholars. It was reasonable to think about it. After all, a group of combat professionals would more or less be in awe of knowing things that they did not understand.

Thus, it was clear from here that the original host had actually left behind quite a lot of good things for Eli.

If it had not been for Saleen Metatrin's twisted sense of humor, the host might have become a big Shot in the Empire one day.

It was a pity that all of this was left to the transmigrated Eli.

He was really a good person.

...

"Hey, long time no see, Eli."

At the entrance of the library, he met Kart, who he hadn't seen in a long time.

He was dressed in black pants and a black top with a gold armband of poor quality on his cuffs. It was obvious that he had dressed up well today.

"How is it? Are you ready? How are your preparations?" Kart saw Eli and asked " concernedly, " almost writing the words " well prepared " on his face.

Eli looked at Kart in front of him and felt his head hurt.

'There are so many people here. Why do you keep targeting me?

'It is very annoying.

'Just because the original body was a 'bad student'? Don't bad students have human rights?'

In the face of Kart's question, Eli could only smile and say, "It's alright."

"Oh, really? I didn't prepare much. I only took a brief look at it. For example, I didn't really look at the heraldry. I hope it doesn't test too much, and..." it was obvious that Kart didn't care about how much progress Eli was making. He just wanted to talk about his " simple preparations " in front of him.

In response, Eli cast a glance at Kart, casually gave an excuse, and immediately slipped into the library.

As he watched Eli leave, the worry on Kart's face slowly faded. He straightened his body, and the corners of his mouth began to curve up, revealing a confident expression.

He patted the golden armband on his sleeve and strode into the library.

...

Kart's incident was just a small interlude.

When Eli arrived at the library's main hall, there were already twenty to thirty temporary librarians gathered there. They were all standing in twos and threes as if they were waiting for something.

Not many of these people were familiar to Eli, so he simply found a place to stand.

"I wonder if it's enough?" Eli looked around at the people around him. Every one of them was his competitor.

He wondered if the mere 50 books he had memorized were enough!

In the past thirteen days, after work every day, Eli would spend his time reading books. On average, he could read three to four books by 12 p.m. every day after work. In other matters, he had read about 50 books.

Half of them were history and heraldry, followed by medicine and Botany. The rest were all miscellaneous subjects, and he did not delve too deeply into them.

After a while, the number of temporary wardens increased to 30. Kart walked in with his head held high as if victory was already in his hands.

Eli ignored him because someone was coming from the other entrance.

It was still the familiar black robe. Scholar Clement came in with a book. However, there were two young people behind him, also wearing the library uniform.

"Everyone, find a place to sit, but don't sit together." Scholar Clement said casually.

The tables in the library were a great place for exams.

Eli found a random spot and sat down.

Scholar Clement took out a stack of test papers from his black robe and handed them to the two people behind him. Then, the two of them handed out the test papers to everyone.

It was an exam in another world.

It was also a key event that would determine Eli's fate for a period of time in the future.

He opened the test paper!

"I hope it won't be too difficult," Eli took a deep breath, then solemnly opened the test paper.

A few seconds later, Eli was stunned.

It was not because it was too difficult but because it was too easy.

"That's easy!"

He looked at the exam paper in front of him. Most of the questions were simple history questions, as well as a lot of noble heraldry and some basic general knowledge. There were no thinking questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, or big questions.

Eli, "..."

This was different from what he had imagined!

He thought it would be difficult.

After flipping through it, Eli picked up the quill and began to write quickly. If he couldn't finish this paper in twenty minutes, that would be because he was too weak. At the same time, Kart looked at the test paper in front of him, his throat moving.

'Test this time is slightly more difficult than the previous ones!'

The Empire's history exam was very abstract, and the coat of arms of the nobles was also very complicated. The common sense questions were also a little off-topic, some of which were even mixed together. It did not look simple at all.

This was several times more difficult than the previous test papers he had bought.

He picked up his pen and started to write, but he would frown after a few strokes and stop for a few seconds. It was obvious that the questions were very difficult.

'it's so difficult. But if even I think it's difficult, the others must be suffering to death.' Kart sighed with confidence. She raised her head and was ready to check on the others. historical

As expected, most of the people's faces were ugly at this time, and they could not answer at all.

"I wonder how's the one called... what's that again? I think he's called Eli."

Kart only remembered his name after a long time. Although he would chat with him occasionally, it was only to show off. As for his name, he really had no memory of it.

In his heart, he still looked down on Eli. Not only that, but he also looked down on the other wardens who were worse than him. He had always thought that he was the best.

When he looked at Eli, he saw a scene that was crazy. His quill was flying on the paper, and with a smooth stroke, he threw the pen into the pen holder with a bang.

Giving up?

Kart showed a gratified smile.

'As expected, he probably doesn't know anything. He has no idea where to start.' Kart showed a happy smile.

Chapter 11: The End

Translator: Lonelytree

Eli and the others sat in an area of the library, while scholar Clement patrolled left and right. The two young men he had brought along stood on either side, looking like they were invigilators.

Out of the 30 people, three of them were invigilators. This also showed how much importance they attached to the test.

Therefore, the way he stopped was particularly eye-catching, and scholar Clement was the first to notice him.

"Are you giving up?" Scholar Clement and Kart had the same thought.

After all, it had only been twenty minutes. Most people had only answered a quarter of the questions, and the faster ones had only answered a third. However, Eli had put down his pen. It was no wonder they thought that he had given up.

"What a pity!" Clement still remembered this hardworking child.

He shook his head as if he had not expected that Eli would actually do something like this. In the past half a month, he had been able to see Eli stay until the end of every day, and this made him admire the young man in front of him.

But he didn't expect him to give up, which made Clement feel a little regretful.

When he passed by Eli, he subconsciously glanced at his test paper.

'Oh, what was written all over it? The papers are all written!'

The next second, Scholar Clement's pupils shook.

He stood behind Eli and looked at the test paper.

The first question was correct.

The first part was all correct.

The second part was also correct.

...

Scholar Clement dared to swear on his head that the contents of these papers were absolutely confidential. Even he had only seen all the test questions this morning, and the difficulty was also extremely great.

This was especially true for history and heraldry. He could find many strange angles to link several things together, which was also very difficult.

Even a learner would not dare to say that they could answer 100% correctly. And a learner referred to a person who had relatively extensive knowledge in specific fields.

Even in the library, there weren't many people like him.

Even if he were to answer this paper, he wouldn't dare to say that he could answer every point accurately. After all, there were already many things that he didn't remember.

But Eli actually answered all of them correctly.

It was ridiculous. historical

How much memory was needed to achieve this level?

Clement was a little shocked as if he had returned to half a month ago when he had noticed this kid.

Clement pursed his lips and continued to patrol in silence, thinking about other things.

...

The test was over.

Once the two hours were up, Clement ignored the wails of most of the temporary librarians, put away the test papers, and left with the two young men.

As there were only about 30 papers, they only needed to wait for an hour before the ranking would be out. It would also determine who would stay and who would leave.

"sigh, I'm done for. It's too difficult!"

"That's right. There's no way this time."

"It's on a completely different level of difficulty compared to previous years!"

As soon as Clement left, everyone immediately wailed and complained about the difficulty of the test.

"Is it very difficult? Aren't they all historical events?" Eli blinked. Only now did he realize the power of Quick memory.

Although this was only a basic wizard spell, it could even be said to be a demonic ability for ordinary people. This was an ability that the Knights did not have at all.

"Eli, how's your exam? It's so difficult this time. I'm really done for. I'm definitely going to be eliminated." A familiar voice sounded, and even Eli was a little speechless.

"Do you have nothing else to do?" The corners of Eli's mouth twitched when he saw Kart's worried expression.

This guy was a little disgusting.

At this moment, a man beside him saw that it was Kart and asked, " Kart, how did you answer the last question? It was so hard!"

"Uh, it's really difficult. I don't know how to answer it." Kart shook her head helplessly, but after "hesitating," she said, " "I wrote it randomly. I... first and then... I don't know if it's right."

"Oh, I see!" The man revealed a look of realization.

"Wrong!" Suddenly, an untimely voice sounded.

Kart immediately looked over and realized that it was actually Eli who had spoken.

"Wrong? That's impossible! That's definitely the right answer!" This time, Kart looked a little flustered as she looked at Eli in surprise.

"Wrong." Without explaining, Eli left.

This was the effect he wanted. It was time to make this guy suffer.

And he wasn't wrong. Kart did get the last question wrong.

Eli was happy, but Kart was upset. He was thinking about the last question crazily in his heart, and his original confidence was wavering a little. He seemed to vaguely feel that there was indeed a problem, and he immediately began to feel upset.

...

On the other side, Clement entered his office, with Herman and Kurt following behind him.

The two of them had been studying under Clement for many years, and they were here to help Clement score the test.

"Kurt and Herman, find the test paper of one of them named Eli Lucifer." As soon as he sat down, Clement said directly.

"Oh? Is there a problem with this person?" Kurt asked curiously.

"Uh, you'll know when you see his test paper." Clement didn't answer but said.

Clement's words also aroused the curiosity of the two. They had not seen such a reaction from their teacher in a long time. Thus, they began to flip through the test paper, wanting to see what this Eli Lucifer had done.

There were a total of 30 test papers, and the two of them quickly found the test papers.

After they finished reading the papers, the two of them fell silent.

"Teacher, I'm afraid that this guy's current level of knowledge is no weaker than mine. Which scholar's disciple is he? Or is he a member of some great noble?" Kurt took a deep breath and said.

He had studied under his teacher for almost ten years and was already a qualified learner.

"Indeed, it's very impressive," Herman added. He had only been under scholar Clement for less than a year, so he was still learning.

"He's just a poor man!" Clement looked up at the two of them and said, " you should understand what I'm saying. He must have put in a lot of effort to reach this level."

"Poor people?" Kurt looked confused, and he didn't seem to believe it. Herman was also in disbelief.

"You should learn from him. To achieve this level, you need at least a few years of memorizing and studying. How long has it been since you've worked so hard? " Clement used Eli to educate the two of them, and then he told them about how Eli studied until midnight every day.

Herman and Kurt were stunned, and they both lowered their heads in shame.

Although they worked hard, they were not as hardworking as Eli.

"Then how does teacher plan to deal with him?" Kurt asked curiously.

Clement smiled and said, "I want to take him in as a student."

...

The candle flame burned slowly in the dark environment, and wisps of smoke floated in the air.

Everyone was waiting in the library, each and every one of them anxiously moving left and right, waiting for the final result.

For some of them, the library was a very precious opportunity. If it was gone, it was really gone. Therefore, most people cherished it.

Eli was sitting in a corner, waiting and thinking about something.

Of course, it wasn't about the test. He was very confident in the test paper. Although he might not be able to get a full score, 99 was not a problem. After all, he was just regurgitating what he had memorized.

After becoming an apprentice, not only did he strengthen his sense of the elements, but his brain's ability to think also improved.

What he was really thinking about was that after the test, he should be able to become an official librarian, and moving was necessary. What should he do next?

Soon, Eli decided on what he was going to do for the time being.

That was to meditate and learn zero-circle spells.

Now that he had found a stable environment, it was time for him to start his magic studies.

He had been meaning to learn magic for a long time.

He had only learned quick memory so far, but he could already feel the huge changes that he had undergone. However, Eli felt that it wasn't enough. After all, quick memory was still considered normal, but it didn't have the feeling of being truly extraordinary.

It was just like the object that appeared in the light beam that was in Eli's body.

That was what he yearned for.

After all, as a mage, he should at least know how to cast a fireball, right?

After provoking Eli, Kart had been sitting on the other side, waiting for the results as well. He looked calm on the surface, but he was very anxious on the inside.

Compared to Eli's idle thoughts, his dream was to truly restore the glory of the nobles.

He did not have the talent to become a knight, so it was difficult for him to make any achievements. He could only choose to walk the path of literature. However, it was obviously impossible for other Academies to train him because they only took in students since they were young. Thus, he came to the library, hoping to use the channels there to achieve a breakthrough.

And becoming the librarian here was the first step.

Just as he was looking at the entrance of the corridor with enthusiasm, three familiar figures slowly walked out.

The sound of someone stepping on the carpet rang out. Everyone instantly looked over and understood that the final moment had finally come.

Clement walked out, looked at the crowd, and said, "Rias and Eli, stay behind. The rest of you can go to the finance department and get a silver Tarl. You don't have to come tomorrow."

Eli also smiled. He finally passed.

Half a month's effort had not been in vain!

But Rias? Eli looked not far away. In the crowd, there was a young girl. She had long brown hair and purple eyes. Her looks were rather ordinary, but she looked very kind.

There was indeed such a person in Eli's memory. He didn't know her identity, but he heard that she had an extraordinary background. It was just that she was usually too low-key, so few people noticed her.

However, he didn't expect her to be so powerful. In the test, she directly surpassed Kart.

In contrast to the two of them, the rest of the people looked as if they were deflated, revealing disappointed expressions. Some of them knew that it was not often for them to get a silver tars, so they went to the finance department to get silver tars. The others followed.

The crowd dispersed.

However, there was still one person who stood there in a daze. His confident smile gradually disappeared, and the light in his eyes also gradually disappeared. His mouth was wide open as if he could not believe it.

It was Kart.

Chapter 12: Clement's Student

Translator: Lonelytree

"Ah, how is that possible?"

Kart stood there in a daze. The confidence he had just now was equal to the shock he felt now.

He even thought that there was something wrong with his ears. He patted his own ears. Normal, which meant that what he heard just now was true. Eli and Rias passed the test, but he didn't.

He didn't pass the test...

How was this possible?

He was Kart, and he had always been first. How could he not pass the test? It was fine about Rias, but how could a guy like Eli, who lived in the slums, pass the test?

"This is impossible! This is impossible!" Kart's body trembled, unable to accept this ending at all. He looked at Eli, who was more than ten meters away, and fire of anger rose in his heart.

"Eli must've cheated. Otherwise, how could he have passed the test? And how could I not have passed? this is absolutely impossible."

"I've always been first. How could I not pass? There's definitely a problem!"

Kart shouted, his voice spreading throughout the library. The people who were about to leave were attracted by him.

Scholar Clement looked over and frowned. "This test is fair and just. Everything was done under the eyes of the three of us. We will definitely not do anything that violates the rules."

Kart had a look of doubt on his face. He couldn't accept it.

Today's incident seemed to have turned his past into a joke, a dream he had made for himself. He didn't want to wake up, and he didn't want to.

"if you want to look at the test papers, we can check them at any time. Please remain calm. This is the library." Scholar Clement said softly, comforting Kart.

However, Kart seemed to be unable to accept reality. His eyes were bloodshot as he said in a daze, "That's impossible, that's impossible!

"It must be Eli who bribed all of you. Otherwise, how could he have passed the test? he's just a lowly commoner. Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Kart's voice was getting louder and louder, and he was losing control of his emotions.

Scholar Clement furrowed his brows. There had been situations where people had doubted the test result before, but it had never been like today, where someone actually dared to be so presumptuous.

The other onlookers also shook their heads. Although they didn't know what had happened, they knew that they wouldn't let someone who insulted a scholar join the library, even if he had good grades.

The library would not recruit members who did not know how to respect others.

"Kurt, Herman, throw this guy out." Scholar Clement gave the students beside him a look, and the two of them walked out, ready to send Kart off.

During this process, Kart was still resisting, shouting, " I'm going to check Eli's test paper, or I'm going to spread this unfair act of yours everywhere."

Even now, he still couldn't accept the fact that he didn't pass the test. One must know that he had always been in the first place!

"Let him see!" Scholar Clement also had a hint of anger on his face.

Harman and Kurt stopped what they were doing, and each of them went to get the test paper. They returned quickly and handed it to Kart.

Kart grabbed the test paper and quickly scanned through it.

He looked at the test paper that was filled with answers. Every question was written with reason. Many of them were things that Kart had forgotten or even didn't know about before. At this moment, they were all imprinted in his eyes.

Especially the last question, so he was really wrong. What Eli said was right.

"How is this possible?" After Kart saw it, he fell to the ground.

"There are two more things. First, you're in fourth place on this test. Even without Eli, you still didn't pass the test.

"Secondly, Eli's results this time are number one, much higher than yours, and far higher." At this time, scholar Clement told Kart, which almost made him faint.

It usually only took an instant for a person's belief to collapse. This was Kart's current situation. historical

Kart's eyes were dazed. So, his first place had always been just his own wild fantasy?

Were these people just hiding their true abilities?

In the end, he was dragged out of the library by a few people.

Throughout this process, Eli just stood by and watched without interfering.

His evaluation of Kart was that he was proud.

After sending off Kart, the others left as well, leaving only Eli and Rias behind.

"Carter, you take Rias to handle her induction. Eli, come with me." Scholar Clement waved at Kurt.

Kurt's mouth twitched. He was a dignified scholar, but at this moment, he was acting like a guard. 'Teacher already has a new favorite!'

Carter took Rias away. Before he left, she gave a strange look at Eli as if she had not expected a commoner to score higher than her.

"Scholar, is there a problem?" After Kurt left, only he, Kurt, and Eli were left.

And the first sentence that scholar Clement said stunned Eli.

"Are you willing to be my student?"

"A student?" Eli was a little surprised.

Scholar Clement had been in the library for decades and had a certain influence on the city. He knew many people and had even been an advisor to some nobles.

It could be said that although scholar Clement was not a noble, he had a certain amount of power in the city, which came from his knowledge and the development of his academic career.

Becoming his student was naturally a very good thing. It was something that many people dreamed of, not to mention the help that he might be able to bring.

Therefore, when scholar Clement asked this question, Eli immediately replied, "thank you, scholar Clement. I'm willing to be your student.

"Hahaha! Good, good, good!" Scholar Clement laughed.

He was already 50 years old, and he had long since fought for power and knowledge. In his past life, he had written many excellent articles and dug out some unknown history. He had even been invited by some nobles.

However, only he knew that he still had some regrets.

That was, he had not cultivated a student who was outstanding enough to inherit his ideas and continue to develop them.

Today, when he saw Eli, he felt that Eli might be able to do it.

There were many geniuses out there, but it was rare to see someone as hardworking as Eli. On the path of learning, hard work was sometimes very important, or even more important than talent. That was why he had the idea of taking in a student.

"yes, hard work is a sharp sword. It will make others look up to you." Scholar Clement encouraged him and looked kindly at Eli.

Eli blinked. 'Hard work?'

What kind of misunderstanding did scholar Clement have about him? He only studied for three or four hours every night after work for half a month, and that was considered hard work..?

Eli felt that there must be some misunderstanding, but he didn't plan on exposing it. If it were a misunderstanding, he would let this continue.

"How biased, how hateful!" On the side, Herman's mouth twitched.

Back when he had become his teacher's apprentice, Clement had been very casual. He had not been so enthusiastic.

"Do you have any other requests? Perhaps I can help you." After Eli agreed, the smile on scholar Clement's face never left his face.

"Uh, there really is one."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"Can you advance a few months of my salary?"

...

In the end, Eli didn't get an advance salary from scholar Clement.

Because the generous scholar Clement had directly given Eli fifteen silver tars, asking him to find a new place to live and buy some new clothes.

After getting his official member Certification, Eli left the library and returned to his little room in the slums. Speaking of which, he was quite lucky that he didn't run into any trouble in the slums during this period.

"The test has come to an end." In the dilapidated room, Eli said in relief.

This time, not only had he passed the test, but he had also become a student of scholar Clement. This was a huge change in his status and identity.

"Poor Kart!" On his way back, Eli even saw Kart. At the time, he was sitting limply on the side of the road with a dazed expression, mumbling, "impossible, impossible!

"I hope he can pull himself together." Eli shook his head.

Eli didn't have any irreconcilable differences with Kart, and there wasn't much between them. Kart's current state was entirely his own problem, and Eli could only feel pity for him.

Besides, he didn't have the time to pay attention to other people.

He had other things to do.

Eli thought of Saleen's notes, and a 'greedy' smile appeared on his face.

He had been looking forward to mastering witchcraft for a long time.

Chapter 13: Moving House

Translator: Lonelytree

The next day, Eli pushed the door open and walked out of the room.

At this time, there were already many pedestrians on the street, most of them wearing linen clothes and pants. The air was fresh, but there was still a fishy smell. Occasionally, they could even see feces on the road.

He had to admit that the environment in this world was not as good as it seemed.

Fortunately, the situation in the Urban area would be much better, and this was the problem that Eli was going to solve today.

Scholar Clement gave him a three-day holiday to take care of his own matters, while Eli had already made an appointment with someone and was ready to find a new place to stay.

...

"Sir, what do you think of this place?"

In front of a remote house, a man asked Eli respectfully.

"Not bad!" Eli looked at the house in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

This was a house in the northern part of Jun Lin city. It was relatively remote and was about three thousand meters away from the library.

The exterior adopted the more common architectural style of the Empire, and the yard was made of ordinary blue stone bricks, full of the taste of history, and a large number of green plants climbed on top.

"You're a student of scholar Clement. Don't worry. I'll definitely give you a good home." The man replied with a smile.

If it weren't for scholar Clement, he wouldn't have such an attitude towards a young man.

Yesterday, when Eli and scholar Clement had talked about where they would live, scholar Clement had said that he could help. Then, he asked Eli to look for the man in front of him. He had arranged everything.

Although he had only just become his student, Eli could already feel the changes. historical

"You can go in and take a look with me." The man said with a smile.

Eli nodded and followed the man.

As he followed the man into the house, Eli realized that even though it looked a little shabby from the outside, it was very clean inside. There was no strange smell, and the area was not small either.

The house was independent, with only one floor and a small courtyard.

There were four rooms inside, a large living room, a bathroom, and even a spacious basement. The interior decoration was good, and some basic furniture was available. He could even bring his things to live in directly.

After looking around, Eli was quite satisfied with the environment, but he didn't know if the price was acceptable or not.

As if he could see through Eli's concerns, the man smiled and said, "Don't worry, scholar Clement has made arrangements. The owner of this house belongs to the Vitaly family, and scholar Clement is the Vitaly family's advisor. Therefore, you can rent him for two silver coins a month."

It was worth mentioning that after becoming a formal employee, his salary had also been raised to five silver tarls, which could be considered an epic upgrade. This allowed him to have enough money to choose a house.

In fact, he had wanted to look at a bigger villa, but after knowing the price, he was immediately advised to leave. That was not a villa that he could afford to live in at the moment.

Moreover, if he were to live in a villa, he would have to hire a maid, a coachman, and the like. That would be another expense, and his salary of five silver tarls would not be able to support it at all.

"Two silver tarls?" Eli had some doubts. It was cheaper than he had imagined.

"That's right, the rent here was originally five silver tars a month, but you only have to pay two. This is also because this place is very remote. If it were near the city center, the price would probably be several times higher for such a large area." The man replied with a smile, trying his best to sell it.

"Then I'll take it!" Eli nodded.

The environment here was quiet, and there were no busy streets around. It was far from the city center, and there was a basement where some witchcraft research could be done.

As for testing the spells, the basement was enough for the weaker ones. As for the more powerful spells, why did he have to test them at home? Wouldn't it be better to test them outside the city, in the sewers, or somewhere else?

Besides, the powerful sorcery might attract some people's attention. After all, although the Empire did not seem to know about the existence of Wizards, Eli believed that if he were to be exposed, there would be a huge trouble, and that was not something he wanted to face.

"Did you bring the contract?" Eli asked.

"I did." The man said enthusiastically, then took out the contract.

After making sure that there was no problem with the contract, Eli took the quill that the man carried with him and wrote down his name, then handed him twelve silver tars for a total of half a year's rent. The rent here was paid in intervals of half a year.

"Alright, are you sure you want to live alone?" The man recalled the previous conversation and asked.

In their previous conversation, Eli mentioned that he lived alone.

"Yes." Eli nodded.

"If you need to clean the house or need other services, you can come to me. Don't worry, we are professionals." The man said with a smile and began to promote their additional business.

"No need," Eli said, his mind thinking of a few spells that could clean up.

"Alright, then." The man was a little disappointed, but he immediately regained his enthusiasm.

The two of them chatted for a while, then the man handed the key to Eli and left.

That night, Eli brought his only assets, a few pieces of linen clothes and a few notes, over. After tidying up the place, he lit a candle in the empty study and began reading.

During this time, Eli had also read part of the book and accumulated many questions. He wanted to find someone to talk to, but unfortunately, he had not seen any Wizards in this damn place.

He could only rely on himself to think about the accumulated problems, repeatedly considering them. Thankfully, the notes were detailed enough, predicting all kinds of problems he might face during his apprenticeship. It was as if the author had already considered this situation.

After thinking for a while, Eli skimmed through the notebook and directly flipped to the last part, where the spells were recorded.

A large number of zero circle spells, wizard's hand, poison spray, power of the will, light, switch, stun, touch of fatigue, quick immunity, animal comfort, thorn shield, Shadow stealth...

There were a lot of them, and they were all zero-circle spells suitable for apprentices.

Of course, the notebook seemed to be just as Saleen Metatrin had said. It was an apprentice's notebook, and what Eli wanted to do at the moment was to choose the most suitable spells to learn from these.

There were six major types of spells, namely The Conjuring system, the divination system, the beguiling system, the evocation system, the necromancy system, and the transformation system.

Normally, apprentices would choose one or two types to study. Since they had limited time and energy, it was better to focus on specific types.

Learning too much would only take up too much energy. Not only would it take time to meditate, but it might also not give him enough time to study. Mages did not agree with the idea of learning too much because it would spread their time too thin.

On the contrary, Eli felt that he could master it all. After all, he had all the time in the world.

Chapter 14: Wizard's Hand

Translator: Lonelytree

However, although Eli's goal was to learn all the spells, it was a long-term problem after all. What he wanted to do now was to first learn some decent spells, then slowly learn other things.

Therefore, he first chose a few spells as his main targets of study. They were self-detection, wizard's hand, and wind wall shield.

Self-detection was used to check one's physical condition and other data. It could also check the state of one's spiritual force and its specific value. It was one of the basic spells of a mage.

The wizard's hand was easier to understand. It was the use of a spell model and filling in a large number of elements, then creating an elemental hand that could be controlled. The Sorcerer could control it to fight and even do some other things.

This spell could even be said to be one of the necessary spells for apprentices to learn. Saleen's notes also suggested learning this spell.

This was because the construction process was very classical, and its power was not ordinary. From Level-1 apprentices to Level-3 apprentices, it could be used by anyone. Even advanced Wizards had advanced versions of it.

More importantly, this spell could also have different effects depending on the elements you fill in. For example, the explosive power of the fire element and the gentleness of the water element. The proportion was completely controlled by the Sorcerer himself, and the requirements for the mage's control over the elements were not low. historical

As such, mage's hand was also one of the most classic apprentice spells.

The reason why Eli chose this spell was because of its balanced characteristics.

The third spell, wind wall shield, was a defensive spell. It could summon wind elements to build a wind wall, which could effectively block attacks such as swords and spears.

Its advantage was that it seemed to be very effective against physical attacks and was not difficult to learn. Its weakness was that its defense against elemental attacks was average.

As such, there were very few acolytes who would actually learn this spell.

However, it was different for Eli. He was currently in the Byrne Empire, where only Knights had extraordinary powers. They relied almost entirely on physical attacks. This sorcery that was not recommended for apprentices was very suitable here.

The three above were the three spells that Eli had carefully selected.

More importantly, these three spells did not require any casting materials, which greatly facilitated the process of Eli's search for materials. After all, many of the materials were truly impossible to find.

For example, a thorn manipulation spell could only be cast after finding a thorn seed with extraordinary characteristics. Where could he find it?

That was why there was a downside to learning to be a wizard in the Knight Kingdom. It was that the materials were not easy to find.

...

Eli was prepared to learn the self-detection spell first.

He adjusted his body and took a deep breath.

In his mind, the spirit energy began to transform into runes, and then a self-detection model was constructed in his mind. As it was his first time constructing it, Eli was very careful.

However, due to a certain carelessness, the soul fluctuation became unstable, and the model collapsed instantly. The first attempt failed.

Even if it failed, Eli wasn't discouraged. He recalled the mistake he had made and then began his second attempt. This time, it went smoothly. The model was completed in one go, and he actually succeeded in one try.

He lit up the model.

A ray of light flashed in Eli's eyes, and an invisible spiritual force appeared.

His mental power extended out from his brain and began to scan his body like a net. From his skin to his internal organs, from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, everything was transformed into specific data that was received by Eli.

Although it wasn't particularly accurate, it was enough for Eli to understand his own situation.

His body was stronger than an ordinary person's. If an ordinary person's physical fitness was 1, then his current physical fitness should be 1.2 and his spirit 4.5.

This was all due to his previous advancement.

Was it high? Not high!

According to Saleen's notes, a normal person with a wizard's gift would have a mental strength of more than three points even if they had started meditating. An increase of one to two points would usually be considered normal.

A level 2 acolyte required 10 points of spiritual power, a level 3 acolyte required 20 points, and an official Magus required 30 points. These were all things that Eli was currently unable to achieve.

In that case, how much did Eli's spiritual power increase in the past half a month? The cruel truth was 0.025 points. In other words, if he wanted to advance to a level 2 apprentice, he would probably need more than ten years.

'I do have trash talent!' Eli pouted.

The golden age to become a wizard was before 50 years old. After that, his spiritual power would start to decline, and it would be very difficult to advance. But according to the current speed of his growth, it would probably take another 50 years for him to reach 30 points of spiritual power.

As for why it was 50 years, it was because the increase of a wizard's spiritual force was not constant. A level 1 acolyte's spiritual force would definitely increase faster than a level 3 acolyte's.

"Perhaps Saleen did not expect that his legacy would be obtained by an apprentice with such trashy talent," Eli said in a self-deprecating manner, but there was not much melancholy in his tone.

So what if it would take a hundred years?

He had a lot of time and was very patient.

'I wonder if the Empire will still exist by then?' Eli thought with ill intentions.

"Let's not think about this anymore. Let's continue learning magic." Casting these thoughts out of his head, Eli decided to start learning the wizard's hand.

But this time, it wasn't so smooth. The difficulty of the wizard's hand was on a completely different level from self-examination. Elil tried for an entire afternoon, but he didn't succeed.

...

Two days later, in a forest outside Jun Lin city, Eli took a deep breath, and the spirit runes in his mind quickly circulated. His spirit flowed like silk threads, and the wizard model of the wizard hand was quickly constructed.

After a few seconds, the spell model was formed.

Eli's eyes lit up, and a large number of elements quickly gathered in front of him, and an elemental hand appeared in front of him.

"I've finally succeeded." A smile appeared on Elie='s face. It had been two whole days, and he had only succeeded for the first time. The difficulty of this spell was indeed much greater than quick memory and self-examination.

"The next step is to test the effect."

With a thought, the elemental hand grabbed a small tree in an instant. With a crack, the small tree as thick as a bucket was directly broken into two, but the elemental hand did not change.

"other than consuming a bit of spiritual energy, there's no other problem."

After controlling it for a while more, Eli rubbed his temples, which were starting to hurt.

The effect of this spell was not bad, but it consumed a little mental strength. For example, he could only cast the spell five or six times at most.

"The path of a wizard is a long and heavy one! It's time to go back, " Eli sighed, glanced in the direction of the city, and returned.

The three-day holiday was over, and it was time to go to work.

The next day, Eli went to the library as usual and ran into Roland again in the changing room.

"Eli, it's just as I thought. I knew you'd pass the test. I told you I'm good at judging people." Roland said with a smile. Thanks to his father's training since childhood, he was very good at talking.

"Thank you," he said. Eli glanced at Roland and found a bite mark on his neck.

"Uh, this is a mark left behind by a beautiful lady." Seeing Eli's gaze, Roland said proudly.

"Fine, fine, fine. Good for you." Eli pouted. This world's education on sex was much earlier than in his previous life. There were even people the same age as Eli who already had a few children.

"Haha. If you would like to go with me, I believe you will be more popular than me!" Roland joked. Then, as if he had thought of something, he moved closer to Eli and said, "I heard that you'd been accepted as a student by scholar Clement. "

"Yes."

There was nothing to hide, so Eli said it directly.

"It's actually true," Roland exclaimed in surprise. He had only heard about it by chance this morning. He had thought it was a lie, but it turned out to be true.

"Oh, it seems like you're going to welcome a new beautiful life in the future." Roland sighed. Becoming Clement's student was enough to change one's life.

"I hope so. It's almost time to work." Eli nodded, then reminded him.

"Alright," he said. Roland had also changed his clothes and walked outside with Eli.

When they were about to enter the museum, Roland suddenly asked, " Oh right, there seem to be a lot more beautiful ladies on Liuying Street. Do you want to go tonight? "

Eli almost stumbled. He glanced at Roland and replied, " What do you think?"

"That's a pity. I heard that they have a lot of new tricks."

"Oh, call me tonight."

The new tricks didn't matter. The main thing was that he wanted to experience a night there.

...

At noon, Eli pushed a book into the bookshelf and ended his day's work.

An official librarian only had to work for half a day, and they were free to arrange the rest of the day. This was one of the reasons why there were so many librarians.

But before he could leave, he saw someone come over to remind him that scholar Clement was looking for him.

Puzzled, Eli came to the second floor of the library. In one of the rooms, he saw scholar Clement organizing documents.

"Oh, Eli, how is it? Have you settled everything? " Scholar Clement asked in a gentle tone.

"teacher, I'm fine now. I have to thank you for your help." Clement was naturally referring to things like renting a house and buying clothes.

"That's good." Clement nodded, then gestured for Eli to sit on the stool opposite him.

Eli sat down, and Clement said, "Since you've settled down, there's something we have to talk about. It's your future."

"My future?" Eli had some questions.

"Yes," Clement nodded and said, " since you've become my student, I have to be responsible for you. You need to set your own research direction. A person's time is limited. Look at the vast library. You can't possibly master everything, right? "

'I'm sorry, but it's really possible,' he said in his heart.

Looking at Eli, Clement nodded and continued, "so, you have to choose a few main research areas and study them in-depth. However, there's no rush for this. You can take your time, but I hope you can become a learner within four years.

"Yes, teacher, I understand." Eli nodded.

A learner was a person with vast knowledge and a deep understanding of one or two aspects of knowledge. It was not difficult for him since memory and comprehension were things that Wizards were good at.

"It's good that you're confident. What do you think? You can have a chat with me, and maybe I can give you some advice." The more Clement looked at Eli, the more satisfied he was. He leaned back in his chair.

"Uh," What was going on in Eli's mind? He was planning to stay here for now, but since he was asked, he thought for a moment and replied, " history and heraldry. I'm more interested in those."

History and heraldry had more things to memorize, so those were easiest for Eli.

"it's pretty good. It's just that there's too much content in this area, and there's a lot of memory work. It's very complicated, so you have to be prepared." Scholar Clement said kindly.

"I will."

"That's it, then. You can continue working in the library and accumulate experience as you work. After all, you haven't studied for long." Clement said after thinking for a while.

"Alright, Thank you, teacher," Eli said respectfully.

"Good luck. It's year 306 of the Byrne calendar. I hope I can see you become a real scholar before year 310."

...

After leaving Clement's place, he didn't go home. Instead, he went straight to the library.

He found a few books and read them.

Indeed, although his goal was to stay in the library, he had to have some real skills. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if he was kicked out.

"So, for the rest of the time, I'll meditate and learn about wizardry, digest the things in the notes, and also read some history and heraldry." He easily set the next schedule, and at the same time, he decided to record everything that would happen in the future by writing a diary.

After all, he would live for a long time. Although he didn't know what would happen in the future, he hoped that he could record everything.

He put down his book, found a Quill, took out a piece of paper, and began to write down what had happened to him recently.

"Year 306 of the Byrne calendar. Sudden death and transmigration."

Eli wrote his diary in Chinese to avoid being recognized by others.

"The beginning is not bad, at least much better than most of the main characters in other webnovels. Other than being a little poor, everything else is good.

"I did not expect this world to be an extraordinary world. There is a power known as Knights, and I have also obtained a mysterious wizard's inheritance. However, that old man Saleen Metatrin is really too much. Can't he explain everything clearly in his book?"

Here, Eli cursed Saleen Metatrin.

"Can't you tell me some information about mages? I can't even figure out what's going on in this world. All I can tell is that there are obviously Knights here. I'm really speechless."

This was also something that had been bothering Eli for a long time. Why would a Knight's Empire have records of a wizard's meditation technique in the library? He had also gone to the place where the host had taken out the book earlier to take a look, but there was nothing else there. Furthermore, he had never heard of a person named Saleen Metatrin.

The one closest to it was the royal family called the Merlin family. historical

There was one more thing that made Eli curious, and that was what exactly was the item that Saleen Metatrin was talking about on the title page of the notebook.

"But forget it. It doesn't matter. There's no point in thinking about this. We'll just take one step at a time." Eli wrote it down simply and sighed.

He put down his pen and decided to set a goal for himself.

"I'll think about it after I become a level 2 acolyte."

Chapter 16: Three Years Later

Translator: Lonelytree

Another month passed.

Eli sat at the table and recorded what had happened in the past month in his diary.

"Everything is normal this month.

"I've mastered all the spells I've prepared, and my proficiency in the wizard's hand is also improving."

He had also finished learning the wind wall shield and had done some experiments. Its defensive power was outstanding. According to the notes, it could resist the attacks of intermediate Knights.

"Although I only took a look at history and heraldry, scholar Clement was still quite satisfied with me. It couldn't be helped. Even in this other world, I am still so brilliant.

"Compared to Knights, the advantages of Wizards in many aspects are too obvious.

"Finally, it's worth mentioning that Liu Ying Lane is indeed a good place."

...

Another five months passed.

Winter came.

A sudden snowstorm covered the land, and with the snowflakes filling the sky, Eli spent his first year in this world.

The situation in the Empire began to change. Although Eli didn't quite understand it, the atmosphere in Jun Lin city became very serious. It was said that during the winter, a large number of tribes in the northern wilderness joined forces and launched a war. They wanted to enter the hinterland of the Empire to steal food, but they failed. They were stopped by the Duke of Frostwolf.

But even so, some tribes still entered the belly of the Empire and robbed a large amount of food. The price of food in the Empire rose, causing many people to starve to death.

The people of the Empire had a lot of opinions about the king.

The king was furious.

However, this had little to do with Eli.

To him, as long as it wasn't a real war, it wasn't a problem. He was just an ordinary librarian, and all he needed to do was sort out his books.

In such an environment, year 306 of the Byrne calendar passed by quietly.

...

The second year was year 307 of the Byrne calendar.

As the snow melted, the king ordered the Duke of Frostwolf to start a war and make the tribes in the northern wilderness pay the price. However, the scattered dukedoms made it impossible for the Empire to effectively gather its strength.

Not only did they fail to strike the enemy, but they also consumed a large number of resources. The Frostwolf dukedom's consumption was huge.

Then, another peaceful year passed.

Eli was improving and learning step by step.

Although he only read history and heraldry in his spare time, his mastery in this area had almost surpassed Clement's, but he didn't show off. His skills were only slightly above average to outsiders.

In terms of wizardry, Eli had gained more. He had more and more Wizard Models, and his mental power had also reached 5.5 points. He was one step closer to a level 2 apprentice, and the power of his spells had also improved slightly.

There was also Roland, who had passed the test, but something seemed to have happened to his family. He returned home and began to inherit his family's Chamber of Commerce, occasionally keeping in touch with Eli.

This year, Eli was eighteen years old.

He realized that his body's traits would no longer change, and time would no longer be able to add a single wrinkle to his face. This also made him give up on his plans for marriage.

After all, it must be a terrible thing to see the person you love gradually grow old while you remain the same.

The young ladies of Liuying Street were the best. They were always young and full of energy.

At the end of the year, something unexpected happened again.

The Alliance formed by the wild tribes had come again, and they left after plundering.

The king was furious again, but it was of no use. There were even rumors among the people that the Duke of Frostwolf was the mastermind behind the scenes and wanted to seize power, which made the situation worse.

But in the end, nothing happened.

...

Year 309 of the Byrne calendar.

Eli was in a Valley outside the city.

The valley was very large, surrounded by High Rock walls. There was a large open space inside, and Eli stood in the middle of the valley, with a few large trees not far away.

This was a Hidden Valley that he had accidentally discovered outside the city last year. The concealment of this area was very good. Eli would often conduct Wizards and some dangerous witchcraft experiments here.

At this moment, he was conducting an experiment.

"Wind wall shield!"

Eli stood on the spot, focusing his mental energy, and his eyes became brighter.

As the model activated, a large number of wind elements began to gather outside his body and quickly formed a circular shield like a wind wall, protecting Eli within.

The falling leaves were torn to pieces by the wind elements.

Eli stood where he was, calmly watching all of this. His 18-year-old body already looked very tall, at about 1.8 meters. His appearance was not much different from before. Only his eyes were very bright, attracting people like stars.

At this moment, he was focused on the windshield. Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, the wind wall started to change. It started to wriggle like water and finally turned into a wind blade that shot out a few meters away.

With a tearing sound, a big tree in front of him was directly torn into two.

"Not bad." Seeing the wind shield turn into a wind blade and fly out, Eli nodded.

The model transformation of the wind shield was a recent research subject of Eli. This had taken him a full six months, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of elemental changes.

In fact, there were very few apprentices who would do this kind of thing because it was really a waste of time. But Eli enjoyed it. He liked the feeling of studying slowly, especially when there was no time to rush him.

After recording the experimental data, Eli continued with other experiments.

He would only come here once every few weeks, so every time he came, he would make a list of experiments that could not be done in the city.

The experiment just now was only one of them.

The second task was a derivative spell of the fireball spell, chain fireball.

Taking a look at the list, Eli focused his attention again.

A few seconds later, a series of rumbling sounds rang out in the valley again.

When the experiment was over, it was already nighttime.

The moon was already high in the sky, and the silver moonlight fell like a veil.

"sigh, it's time to go back. Teacher Clement left me with some missions!"

Seeing that it was about time, he simply cleaned up the traces of his experiments and returned to the direction of Jun Lin city. historical

At the city gate, he familiarly greeted the guard and walked in.

In three years, Eli had gotten to know many people.

After walking a few streets, Eli returned home.

There wasn't much change compared to three years ago, but there were some vines clinging to the fence around the house, which looked a little strange. This was a magical plant that he had cultivated. As long as a stranger stepped in, it could burst out with a powerful attack at any time.

He opened the door and entered the courtyard.

The courtyard looked normal, but it was filled with spell formations. Of course, they were hidden.

Of course, Eli was already used to this.

He only glanced at the few birds that were swallowed by the vines and then went straight into the house.

He had been busy all day and was prepared to rest early.

"I still have to go to work tomorrow!"

Chapter 17: Invitation

The next day as the sun rose, Eli walked out of the house.

He stood in front of the gate and looked at the familiar street in front of him. After determining the direction, he quickly left.

Along the way, Eli looked around from time to time and noticed that there were clearly many homeless people. On the narrow and dirty path, many people were leaning against the wall, their eyes listless.

"I heard that this year's harvest is not very good. It seems that many people will starve to death this year." Eli hurriedly walked past, not paying too much attention to these people.

Every era had its own limitations, and this place was no different.

There were some things that he could not change.

Soon, Eli entered the commoner's district and arrived at the library a few minutes later.

After greeting the security guard, Eli walked in.

Because the teacher was present today, Eli chose to enter the second floor and stopped in a room on the side of the corridor.

"Herman, look at what you've done. You can't even do such a simple thing!"

Before he went in, he heard Clement's familiar voice. If he wasn't mistaken, he was lecturing Herman.

Herman was one of the two invigilators and one of Mr. Clement's students. His father was a Baron, and he was the sixth son of the Baron. He was sent to the library to study.

Eli knocked on the door gently.

"Come in!" Scholar Clement's voice rang out.

Eli pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he saw scholar Clement sitting behind the table. Compared to three years ago, he had more white hair and more wrinkles. He looked much older.

Herman was standing in front of the table. He had short brown hair and blue eyes. His head was lowered as if he was being lectured by his teacher.

"It's Eli!" When scholar Clement saw that Eli had arrived, his originally furrowed brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Eli was probably the most outstanding student he had received in recent years. Not only did he learn things quickly, but he also had a good personality and was always polite to others, which he liked very much.

This feeling was even stronger when he saw Herman.

Thinking of this, he glared at Herman.

Herman, "..." I know that I'm not good at my studies, but you don't have to do this.

"Yes, what's the matter?" As if remembering something, scholar Clement looked at Eli and asked.

"It's fine. The materials that teacher asked me to prepare last time have been prepared."

Eli took out the material from his pocket and handed it to his teacher.

Scholar Clement would often give them some missions to test their abilities.

Scholar Clement took the materials and immediately flipped through them. As he read, his eyes gradually lit up, and the curve of his lips grew wider. He was very satisfied.

"even if I were to prepare this, it'd be difficult to achieve this level. Eli, you're improving too quickly." After putting down the materials, scholar Clement stroked his beard.

"It's because of the teacher's good education!" Eli said humbly.

"Haha!" Scholar Clement laughed out loud, and his previous unhappiness seemed to have disappeared. He then cast a disdainful look at Herman.

The corner of Herman's mouth twitched, and he looked at Eli with a bitter expression.

"Is there anything else?" After looking at the materials, scholar Clement asked again.

"That's all."

"Then go to work." Scholar Clement nodded and looked at Herman, who was next to him. He waved his hand and said, "You should leave too."

'Hey, what do you mean by that disdainful action!'

Even though Herman was complaining in his heart, he didn't have the courage to say it out loud. He could only walk out of the room with Eli.

As soon as they walked out of the house, Herman became more active.

"Are you kidding me, Eli? you don't know this, but there's clearly something wrong with teacher Clement recently. He's always picking on me.

"My life is getting harder and harder. I'm starting to regret coming here." Herman shook his head and sighed.

"Then you can leave the library at any time. The restrictions here aren't that strict!" The two of them walked along the long corridor, and Eli joked.

"Haha, I'm just joking. How can I leave? " Herman chuckled.

Although his father was a Baron, he had six sons. The title and the family property had almost nothing to do with him. Being able to enter the library was the greatest help his father could give him.

"Then study hard and don't make Mr. Clement angry." Eli nodded and advised.

"You're right." Herman sighed and said helplessly, "

He had a carefree personality, so it was not easy for him to study for a long time.

"Eli!"

The two of them turned a corner when a young girl suddenly entered their line of sight.

Her long brown hair reached her shoulders, and her purple dress revealed half of her calves. Her fair face made her look even more youthful, and her purple eyes made Herman's heart beat faster.

It was Lias Gimori, the young lady who had passed the test with Eli three years ago.

"Good Morning!" Eli greeted.

Three years ago, she was still a very ordinary girl. Three years later, she had become such a beautiful young lady. This was something that Eli had not expected.

Speaking of which, something had actually happened between her and Eli. Two years ago, this Rise seemed to have a good impression of him because she often asked him questions.

Back then, Eli had also noticed the problem, so he decisively rejected it.

Women would only affect the speed at which he could activate his spiritual power.

After that, Rias did not pester him anymore, and they were now friends.

"You're really pretty today." Herman looked at the girl and praised her.

"Thank you," he said. Rias nodded at him politely, then looked at Eli.

"Eli, I've invited a lot of friends to my family's Manor to hunt this weekend. Do you have time? " Rias asked, her big purple eyes looking at Eli.

"Hunting?" Eli raised an eyebrow.

Rias Gimori was part of the Gimori family, and the Gimori family was a true count family, a true, noble family.

Although he had been puzzled at the beginning as to why she had come to the library, he seemed to gradually understand that although the library was always unknown, its influence was no less than that of the top nobles.

"Oh, there's also Herman. Are you guys willing to go? " Rias added.

"I'm willing, I'm willing." Herman nodded.

This was a Count's family. If he could get some connections there, it would be a great thing for him.

However, he also knew that he had benefited from Eli's success, so he only looked at Eli expectantly and waited for him to make a decision.

"You rejected me last time too. You can't reject me this time." Said Rias, looking at Eli.

"Alright then!" Eli nodded helplessly.

He had already rejected Rias's invitation a few times before, mainly because he thought it was troublesome, but since he had already been invited a few times, it would not be good to reject her every time.

"Then it's a deal!" Seeing that Eli had agreed, the corners of Rias's mouth curled up into a smile. With her purple dress, she looked like a blossoming violet. historical

Rias had come to invite Eli, and after that, they exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving.

Eli, on the other hand, looked at her back as she left, then turned around and left with Herman.

Nothing should happen during a hunt.

However, even if something happened, he was confident that he could solve it.

"Eli, it's hunting. That must be very interesting!" Herman said excitedly after she left.

Hunting was actually a small matter, but sneaking into the Count's family's banquet would definitely make his father think highly of him, which was the reason why he was so excited.

"Herman, our teacher taught us that no matter what happens, we should stay calm." Looking at Herman's slightly red face, Eli reminded him.

Nobles, especially those with low status like the Herman family, would always yearn to go higher. Even if it was just a small opportunity, it was precious to them.

'Power and reputation?'

Eli sighed in his heart.

In his eyes, fame, fortune, and power were nothing more than lofts built from clouds in the sky. With the wind of time, they would all vanish into thin air, and there was no point in pursuing them.

However, it was obvious that Herman wouldn't listen to him, so he could only wait for him to return to normal.

"I'm sorry, I was a little too happy just now." After a while, Herman realized that his behavior was inappropriate and apologized.

"It doesn't matter!" Eli shook his head, and the two of them continued forward. They separated in a corridor and went to work.

...

On the first floor of the library, throwing the hunting matter to the back of his mind, Eli put on his work uniform and organized his books while thinking about other more important things.

For example, he could meditate on his spiritual force, learn spells, and conduct extraordinary experiments.

Three years had changed a lot in Eli.

His spiritual power had already reached 6.0, while his physical fitness was at 1.3.

Compared to three years ago, his spiritual power had increased by 1.5, an average increase of 0.5 per year. But in fact, three years ago, the average increase of 0.05 per month during those few months should have been 0.6 per year, but in reality, it was only 0.5.

It wasn't that Eli didn't work hard, it was just that as the total amount of his spiritual power increased, the speed of his spiritual Power's growth was decreasing. Otherwise, his spiritual power should be around 6.3 now.

The improvement in his physical fitness had nothing to do with meditation. It was just that he had been training for the past three years, so his physical fitness had naturally improved.

"The growth of my spiritual power is still too slow." Although he didn't really care about the time, this was a dangerous world after all, and it was better to be as strong as possible.

Saleen's notes had actually recorded quite a few things regarding the improvement of mental power.

There were two main ways. One was to meditate, which was the normal way, and the other was through magic potions.

There was no need to elaborate on meditation, while magic medicine referred to medicine that could stimulate the improvement of mental strength. Saleen's notes had a formula for mental strength medicine.

The potion was called the dark blue potion. It was a potion for apprentices. It was very effective for Level-1 apprentices and above. It could greatly increase a wizard's meditation speed.

The effect was very tempting for Eli. He had been preparing to make it some time ago, and everything was ready.

The only problem was that Eli couldn't find the materials at all.

The ingredients were specialties from another place. In Junlin city, Eli had only encountered a few of them. He had only found a few of the unimportant ingredients.

"Maybe I should find some materials to replace those precious ones?"

Eli was a little hesitant. Although he was envious of the effects of the complete potion, he was in Jun Lin City, and there were many things he could not find. If he could replace some of the ingredients, it seemed like a good choice.

Even if the new potion only had a portion of the original potion's effects, it was enough to speed up the growth of Eli's spiritual power.

Of course, this was only one aspect. In fact, increasing one's strength did not necessarily require the improvement of mental strength. Weapons were also an aspect. If Eli could make a wizard weapon, he could also increase part of his strength. However, similar to the previous situation, he could not find suitable materials.

"As expected, being poor is an important condition that limits the growth of strength."

Eli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, after thinking for a while, he had already thought of which materials he wanted to use to replace them. He only needed to buy the materials and then conduct the experiment.

And this step required even more money.

After all was said and done, it was still a matter of money.

Although the salary of a librarian wasn't low, it was still difficult to satisfy all the needs of a Mage. His salary was basically spent on Mage experiments, and now he only had a few dozen silver tars left.

"I wonder if it's enough?"

Eli pursed his lips and decided to go and take a look after work.

It was already noon by the time he was done with all the work. He packed up and left.

After passing through a few streets, Eli arrived at the market and entered a shop that sold herbs.

...

"If you want all of these, it should be about three gold tarls."

"What? so expensive?"

After a simple negotiation, Eli knew the approximate price to purchase the materials he was looking for, which was far from what he could afford at the moment.

"Sir, I have to remind you that some of the herbs here are very rare. It's very difficult to buy them without an acquaintance." The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man.

"Is that so?" historical

He didn't notice that, but it seemed that he wouldn't be able to buy the materials he wanted this time.

Money was one aspect, but the channels were another.

He couldn't do anything about money for the time being, but he might have a way to deal with the channel, which was to find Roland.

As mentioned before, Roland had taken over his father's Chamber of Commerce, and coincidentally, this Chamber of Commerce was in the perfume business as well as some medicinal herbs business.

If Eli didn't have any channels, Roland definitely did.

"I can only wait until I have enough money and then go to Roland."

Three golden tarls would be enough to last Eli for many years. It seemed that the potion brewing would be delayed again.

However, since he was at the herb store, there was no reason for him not to buy anything. Hence, Eli bought some materials he needed for the experiment before leaving.

He returned home with the materials.

Entering the underground laboratory, he arranged the materials and began a new day of experiments.

The entire afternoon, Eli spent it in the experiment.

This was also Eli's daily life.

The main thing was for a wizard to study, conduct experiments, work, and then have fun. Finally, he would learn what scholar Clement wanted him to learn.

Scholar Clement thought that he would spend a lot of time studying the relevant aspects every day. In fact, he would only take a look when he thought of it. Even so, he had already surpassed Clement in terms of mastery of the relevant aspects.

One could only say that this was the power of a wizard.

In some aspects, Wizards were like gods, of course, this was in comparison to ordinary people and Knights.

Soon, seven days had passed.

Eli was invited to the Moore Manor to participate in the hunt.

Chapter 19: Moore Manor

Translator: Lonelytree

Moore Manor was a large Manor in the West of Jun Lin city, and it belonged to the Gimori family. It was mainly used for feasts, hunting, and planting some precious crops. It was a gift from the king to the Gimori family.

And today was the day of the banquet held by the Gimori family.

Eli and Herman took the rented carriage and quickly headed toward the manor.

The carriage was fast, and they soon arrived at their destination.

"What a great Manor!"

As soon as they got out of the car, Herman looked at the manor and exclaimed.

Eli also got off the carriage and looked towards the manor.

The first thing that came into view was a castle-like building built with black stone bricks. On both sides were two smaller attics, and on top of them were dark green vines.

The road in front of him was also paved with stone bricks. It was flat and clean, giving him a good feeling.

On the other hand, Eli was relatively calm. After all, he had seen magnificent buildings that were hundreds of meters tall in his previous life, as well as all kinds of buildings. Although the castle in front of him was not bad, it was not enough to cause him to have a huge reaction.

Herman, who was standing at the side, glanced at Eli and saw his calm reaction. He sighed in his heart and thought, 'Eli is just a commoner, but he's so calm.' he immediately felt ashamed.

He was actually inferior to a commoner.

"Eli!"

Suddenly, a shout came from not far away.

The two of them saw Rias walking over from not far away.

She was wearing a light purple dress and light makeup, but with her beautiful face and figure, as well as her purple eyes, she looked like a violet flower that had just bloomed.

Eli's eyes lit up. He liked beautiful things.

Herman's mouth was wide open as if he didn't expect Rias to be so beautiful.

"Rias, you're beautiful today!" As Rias walked over, Herman was not stingy with his praise.

"Thank you!" Rias nodded, but she still looked at Eli.

"Rias, you're much more beautiful today than you were before, " said Eli.

"Was I not beautiful before?" Rias revealed a sly smile and looked at Eli.

"uh, of course not. It's just that you're even more beautiful today." Eli smiled in response.

"hehe, I'll stop teasing you. Let's go. The banquet is about to start." Rias smiled and led the two of them toward the castle.

"Banquet? Aren't we hunting?" Eli asked directly, having some doubts.

Looking at Eli's puzzled expression, Rias smiled and said, " the hunting will be after the banquet. After all, everyone needs to rest first."

Elie nodded and did not say anything else.

This was the first time he was attending Noble's banquet, and Herman was not as lively as he usual as he followed Eli.

Rias led them into the castle and into the banquet hall.

As soon as he entered, a loud noise entered his ears.

There were already many people here. Most of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes with the coat of arms of the nobles on their chests. They were gathered in twos and threes and seemed to be members of the noble family.

With just a glance, Eli memorized every one. To be more precise, he memorized everyone's coat of arms. The Alina family, the Sovia family, and the Alexander family were all famous families in the Empire.

Of course, there were also some small nobles and a few civilians, but on the whole, this was a banquet for nobles.

Many people turned to look at her when Rias entered.

They were surprised to see that Rias had brought two civilians in. As the Herman family was small, many people did not know him and treated him as a civilian.

In the corner of the banquet hall, two men and one woman looked over and frowned.

The three of them seemed to have been standing together and chatting. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and seemed to have high status. Not many people dared to get close to them.

And that was the truth.

Alex was from the hereditary Marquis Alina family.

Alice was from the hereditary count Sovia family.

Klein was from the Alexander family, a hereditary count.

When Klein saw Eli, he raised an eyebrow. "A commoner? Rias actually took the initiative to invite a commoner. Do any of you know him?"

"I don't." The other two also shook their heads. They didn't know him.

"Um, but I remember that she joined the library. Maybe they met in the library. Maybe he's a student of the same teacher? " Alice seemed to have remembered something and said.

"Is that so?" Alex nodded. He had the highest status among the three of them.

"I think so, but Rias actually invited a commoner without telling us. I wouldn't have come if I had known." Klein frowned and said unhappily.

Klein didn't look old, about twenty years old, and he looked at Eli with disgust.

Not every noble could accept a commoner sharing a room.

"Let's go and take a look." Alex, on the other hand, didn't seem to have much of a reaction. He didn't pay attention to Klein's words, and he walked toward Rias.

"Alright, big brother Alex." Alice laughed.

Klein was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything and followed.

"Rias, you're getting more and more beautiful!" Alex said loudly as he strode over.

"Big brother Alex, long time no see." Rias smiled when she saw the man.

Meanwhile, Eli followed behind her, looking at the others calmly.

From the coat of arms they wore, Eli knew which family they were from, but the only thing that caught his attention was the two men. The one in the middle, called Alex, was probably an advanced Knight, and the one beside him, who had an unhappy expression, was an intermediate Knight.

"let me introduce you. This is a student of the library's scholar Clement, Eli. He's very well-versed in heraldry and history. This is Herman, also a student of scholar Clement." They exchanged a few pleasantries, and then as if remembering something, she turned around and introduced Eli and Herman to the three of them.

"Scholar Clement?" Upon hearing the introduction, Alex glanced at Eli with interest.

He knew of scholar Clement because his family had consulted him many times. His father even knew him. He was a very low-key but high-ranked Scholar in the Library.

"Oh, so you're a student of scholar Clement. I've admired the scholar for a long time!" Alex smiled at Eli and Herman.

Herman was flattered and he thanked him immediately.

"Thank you!" On the other hand, Eli was relatively calm as he nodded.

He knew that Alex's kindness wasn't directed at him but at his teacher. historical

"So you're a learner?" The nearby Alice also understood.

Although the people in the library were also commoners, they were still of a higher class than commoners.

"He's just a student of a scholar." Klein still didn't care, and he didn't look straight at Eli.

"This is Alex, Alice, and Klein." Leah then introduced the three to Eli.

After the introduction, they separated again.

"I'm sorry for Klein," After they left, Rias apologized to Eli. She could see that Klein didn't like Eli.

"it's alright. After all, not everyone is as friendly as you, Rias." Eli said with a smile.

Klein wasn't annoying enough to do anything to him, and a noble who couldn't even hide his emotions was probably just average.

"You're so glib." Rias covered her mouth and laughed, then returned to normal and said, "You guys can walk around first. I still have some things to deal with."

"Alright," he said. Eli nodded.

Then, she left and began to direct the party. This was a skill that a noble lady should have.

As for Eli, of course, he was going to taste the food.

Chapter 20: Ball

Translator: Lonelytree

"Eli, what are we doing next?!"

After they left, Eli and Herman were left alone. Herman asked.

"Of course, we're going to eat and drink." Eli gave Herman a strange look, then looked at the table not far away.

This was a very long table, and it was currently filled with all sorts of food.

In addition to the bright red wine, there were all kinds of delicious food on the table, like grilled sausages, roasted meat, fruit pies, butter prawns, pickled geese, white bread, desserts, and so on.

"Erm..." Herman didn't know how to refute him.

Shouldn't one be actively trying to get to know other nobles and make connections at an aristocratic banquet? Why would they come here to eat?

'Eli's thoughts are... unusual as usual.'

"if you want to get to know other people, then go ahead. There's no need to pay attention to me. I'm just a little hungry." Naturally, Eli understood Herman's thoughts and waved his hand.

Although Herman was unlikely to inherit the title, he had been working hard. Coming to such a place, he naturally had to do something. Eli couldn't be bothered, and he really couldn't be interested in getting to know other people.

To him, that was a waste of time.

"Alright, then." Herman looked apologetic and walked in another direction. He saw someone he knew. historical

Meanwhile, Eli immediately walked to the table at the side, picked up the plate, and began to get the food.

The food served at the banquet was of a much higher quality than what he usually ate. Since he was there, he had to eat more. It was free anyway, so it would be a waste not to eat.

Soon, he had a plate full of food and showed a satisfied expression.

A dozen meters away, Klein happened to pass by and saw this scene. His mouth twitched and he cursed, "What a country bumpkin. He's too inelegant."

Naturally, Eli didn't care about the others 'gazes.

Eli walked to the corner of the banquet hall, found a table, sat down, and began to gobble down his food.

There were still some people here, but when they saw Eli, they subconsciously moved away.

It was too inelegant!

For a moment, the entire banquet seemed to have formed a boundary line. On one side were the nobles, who were elegantly chatting, and on the other side was Eli, who was gobbling down large chunks of food.

As Rias directed the others, she saw Eli in the corner and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

'This guy really didn't care about what other people thought at all!'

Half an hour later, with a burp from Eli, he was full.

He wiped his mouth, stood up, and looked around. At this moment, Herman had already blended into the small group and was chatting with them. They seemed to be in harmony.

After half an hour, the banquet finally began.

Rias stood on the platform in the middle and began to speak. First, she was happy that everyone was there, so she spoke a lot and finally announced the start of the ball.

As for hunting, that was the last activity.

The dance naturally required a venue. Eli saw many maidservants and male servants entering the banquet and moving the tables that were filled with food away. Most of the food was left untouched.

Without a doubt, most of the food would probably be wasted.

There were still many civilians starving to death outside, but it did not seem to have anything to do with them. The value of the food consumed by the banquet alone was probably enough for hundreds of civilians to survive through the winter.

As the tables were moved away, a band entered the banquet hall and began to play music.

Beautiful and melodious music entered Eli's ears, which made him feel much better. Compared to the always noisy music on Liuying Street, this music was clearly much better.

As the music notes danced, the men also invited the girls to the dance floor.

Eli stood outside the dance floor, quietly watching these people dance. Suddenly, he felt some people on his right walking towards him.

"Eli, let me introduce you. This is a new friend I've just made." Herman walked over with a nobleman beside him. He had golden hair and blue eyes. From the coat of arms, he seemed to be from a Baron family.

"Herman, who is this?" The noble that Herman brought over was also curious about who Herman was going to introduce to him.

"This is my best friend, a student of the library's scholar Clement." Herman introduced them to him and then raised his eyebrows at Eli.

He knew that Eli didn't like socializing, but Herman felt that it was necessary for him to get to know people of a higher level. As Eli's good friend, he felt that it was necessary to help Eli on such an occasion.

"This is David." Herman then introduced the man.

Hello, I'm David. May I know which family you belong to? " The golden-haired David smiled.

"Hello, I don't belong to any noble family." Eli didn't expect Herman to do this, but he still answered politely.

Although he was very polite, David accurately caught the keyword. 'Not a noble?'

His smile instantly disappeared, and the way he looked at Eli gradually changed from an equal to a condescending one.

"I'm sorry, I still have something to do," David said straightforwardly and left, not even paying attention to Herman.

He had paid a great price to get to the banquet, so he couldn't waste his time on commoners. As for Herman, he probably wasn't that noble since he was friends with a commoner.

Herman was stunned as he watched David leave. He didn't expect this to happen.

"I'm sorry, Eli." But after a few seconds, he understood and said to Eli.

"It's fine." Eli shook his head.

Who would care about an unimportant person like that?

"Aren't you going to chase after him?" Eli asked, looking at Herman with interest. He had just seen Herman chatting with that noble for a long time.

"Uh, don't make fun of me." Herman was a little embarrassed. " but I'm here because of you. I'm on your side!" he chuckled.

"Alright then!" Eli nodded, and her impression of Herman increased by quite a bit.

At this moment, another person suddenly walked over.

Rias, in her purple dress, walked over with a smile and invited, "Eli, do you want to dance?"

Right now, the dance on the dance floor was a standard noble dance, a dance derived from classical dance. It was difficult, but it looked very beautiful.

He shouldn't have rejected a lady's invitation, but he didn't know how to dance like that.

"I don't know how to do this dance." Eli declined tactfully.

"It's okay, I can guide you," Said Rias with a bright smile.

She was here to take revenge. She had been lectured many times by Eli when she asked him questions at the library.

For example, "it's so simple." "Have you really learned this before?" "I think you need to revise."

To her, that was a nightmarish existence. Now that she had finally managed to invite him to the banquet, she naturally wanted him to know that she, a noble lady, was also very strong in other aspects.

"You told me that life is about the experience." As if worried that Eli would reject her, Riaz said slyly.

With his memory as a wizard, Eli could guarantee that this was not something he had said before.

"Alright," he said. However, he did not refuse this time. He only said, "But can I take a look and learn a little first?"

"Of course, you can." Rias appeared to be elegant, but she was laughing in her heart. She could only maintain a dignified expression in a banquet.

'You're finally in my hands.'

Eli looked towards the dance floor, and all sorts of movements rushed into his mind like fragments, allowing him to quickly grasp the dance's movements.

Rias, who was watching from the side, saw that Eli was staring at the dance floor as if he was really learning. She revealed a sly smile. 'Keep pretending.'

Three minutes later, Eli stopped.

"Did you learn it?" Rias pretended to ask.

I know you're good at learning, but I don't believe you can dance well.

Dancing was a test of physical ability.

"I've learned it." Eli nodded calmly and extended his hand at the same time, inviting, "I wonder if this beautiful lady is willing to dance with me."

Rias was taken aback. Looking at the black-suited man in front of her, who always had a confident expression, she suddenly felt as if they were back in the library and she was going to be overwhelmed by Eli's knowledge again.

'It can't be. Impossible!' Rias shook her head. She didn't believe that Eli could dance.

"Alright!" Rias held onto Eli's hand, and the two of them walked towards the dance floor.

Herman, "..."

How did you guys ignore me so naturally?

Chapter 21: A Professional Dancer

Translator: Lonelytree

Before the two of them walked onto the dance floor, the most dazzling person on the dance floor was Klein, the person who had looked down on Eli earlier.

At this moment, he held the hand of a noble lady and started dancing in the middle of the dance floor.

His dance was elegant and professional. He had a confident smile on his face as he danced with his partner on the dance floor. His movements were dignified, and with the beautiful music, he was extremely elegant.

Outside the dance floor, almost everyone was attracted to him.

"Not bad. The physical fitness of a Knight allows him to have better control of his body. His dance is also very powerful." Alex said to Alice.

"Indeed, there are only some slight flaws. However, I'm afraid only professional dancers can dance better than him." Alice nodded in agreement. Her dance was not as good as Klein's.

"I heard that Klein's teacher is a top dancer in the Empire. No wonder he can dance so beautifully." The others added.

The others also praised.

Among his peers, Klein's noble dance level was close to that of a professional dancer.

"Eh, isn't that Rias?" At that moment, someone suddenly noticed Rias and Eli.

As the host of this banquet, and with her beauty, there were naturally many people who paid attention to her. However, they were now seeing her enter the dance floor with a civilian.

For a moment, many people looked at the two of them with curious expressions.

Not far away, David did the same.

But when he saw that Eli was actually dancing with Rias, he froze.

"How is that possible?" David was taken aback as if he had not expected that the commoner from earlier would be able to have a connection with the young lady of the Gimori family. He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of regret.

...

On the other side, on the dance floor, Eli held Rias's hand with his right hand as the two prepared.

Rias felt the temperature of Eli's hand, Klein, who was right in front of her, and the gazes from all around. She looked at Eli and wanted to ask him something.

"Are you nervous?" Eli asked.

Rias was speechless. 'That's my line!'

Eli was a little taller than Rias, and she looked up at the man before her. He had not a hint of panic.

'Could he really dance?'

An absurd thought barged into her mind.

Rias was right. It was true that Eli had never learned to dance, nor did he know the noble dance. In the past three minutes, he had really memorized the dance moves and learned them mentally.

Of course, the dance also involved movements, so he had to rely on another spell, absolute control.

Absolute control was an apprentice-level spell. It relied on the connection between one's spiritual force and the body to allow a Magus to completely control their body for a short period of time, allowing them to do all kinds of actions that they normally could not.

It was usually used during a wizard's experiments to avoid errors caused by one's own body, but it was soon to be used for dance. Saleen Metatrin would probably roll in his grave if he found out.

Coupled with Quick memory, Eli could " learn " this dance fast. historical

At this moment, a new round of music started playing again.

The music started.

Eli began to hold onto Rias's hand as they danced on the dance floor. At first, it was very slow, as if Rias had yet to get used to it, but with Eli's guidance, their movements began to become elegant after a few seconds.

The power of the spells was terrifying.

Eli could rely on witchcraft to perform the perfect version of the dance in his mind.

'He can actually dance?!'

At this moment, even Rias, who was being held by Eli, was incomparably shocked. She had never thought that Eli would actually be such a skilled and elegant dancer. It was as if he had danced thousands of times, completely guiding the movements of her four limbs.

More and more people looked over as they watched the two of them dance like butterflies on the dance floor, or more precisely, Eli, who was guiding Rias to dance.

What a powerful dance.

He's so good!

Many people around them were dancing again, but as they danced, they were attracted by the two, and they stopped to admire them.

More and more people turned their eyes to the two and began to appreciate their beautiful movements.

However, some of them had an inexplicable feeling. Why did it feel like the man was copying their moves?

However, ignoring these details, everyone had to admit that Eli's performance was absolutely wonderful, much better than Klein's performance in the center of the stage.

"Very powerful. There are some movements that I can't do." In the crowd, Klein fell into deep thought as he watched the movements.

He was an advanced Knight, so the control of his body should already be very good, but there were many of Eli's movements that he could not do. It felt like Eli had complete control of his body.

However, that was impossible. That was something that only a Grand Knight could do. As for Eli, anyone who had been through Knight training could tell that he was definitely an ordinary person.

If Klein wanted, his one punch could have killed Eli.

"Looks like he's gifted." Alex sighed. This kind of control over the body was something every Knight dreamed of, but it was actually mastered by Eli.

It was a pity that Eli was a commoner, and he was also very old, so it was almost impossible for him to become a knight.

"Amazing!" Compared to Alex, Alice's thought was much simpler.

She just felt that Eli's movements were so beautiful, and his dance was so smooth, with an indescribable beauty.

Klein was also dumbfounded.

He was very proud and liked to show off in front of others, so he willfully danced on the dance floor. He felt the gazes from all around him, which made him even happier.

However, as he danced, he realized from the corner of his eye that the others seemed to be gradually losing attention to him.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Klein was a little confused. He stopped and saw Eli and Rias dancing not far away. Everyone's eyes were on them.

Klein didn't understand at first, but after a few seconds, he was stunned.

This dance was too good.

He was better than him.

Eli and Rias were like two butterflies on the dance floor, light and graceful. He had been learning dance for seven to eight years, and his level was not low, but he was inferior to Eli.

Especially Eli's control over his body. He was a Knight, but he was not even as good as an ordinary person.

"This doesn't make sense!" Klein's mouth twitched.

It was too ridiculous.

He even had a preposterous feeling that even the teachers of the Empire's top dancers might not dance as well as Eli, who was dancing in front of him.

In the end, Klein only managed to squeeze out this sentence.

"So elegant!"

Chapter 22: Scholar Clement and Investment

Translator: Lonelytree

At that moment, the music came to the last part.

Eli held onto Rias and performed the last part of the dance.

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

Lowering his head, Eli could see Rias' big purple eyes, her cheeks slightly red, and speak in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"...Not bad!" The intense dance made Rias's heart beat faster. She looked at Eli as if she was dreaming in the clouds.

Heavens!

She had never expected that a guy like Eli who was working in the library, could be so good at noble dance.

However, after the shock came bitterness.

'It's fine that you're good at your studies, but why are you so good at dancing too?

'Can't you let me have something that I'm good at?'

In the midst of her melancholy, the music finally ended.

In the next second, a round of applause erupted at the banquet, and Alex, Alice, and the others also made their way over.

"Your movements are very graceful and smooth!" Alice praised. Such a beautiful dance. The last time she had seen it was at a banquet with her father, but last time, it was performed by one of the best dancers in the Empire.

"Your performance was wonderful." Alex was also not stingy with his praise. He even looked at Klein, who was a few meters away and raised his head.

"Klein, what do you think?"

"It's alright!" Klein's mouth twitched, and he nodded stubbornly, but the way he looked at Eli was no longer as disgusted as before.

Outstanding people were more or less worthy of respect.

"It's fine," David's heart ached a little as he looked at Eli, who was standing together with Alex, Rias, and many other descendants of the great nobles. However, he immediately consoled himself, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. No matter what, they're just the children of a few aristocrats. They're not the real aristocrats who will inherit the title."

After some self-comfort, David's heart didn't ache as much anymore.

And because of this ball, the distance between Eli, Alex, and the other nobles seemed to have increased quite a bit. They were happily discussing some things together.

In the conversation, Eli also realized that few of them actually spoke kindly to the people they knew, and that broke his inherent impression of the descendants of great nobles.

Among them, Eli also introduced Herman to the others, which made Herman secretly happy.

Time passed by quickly.

The band also slowly left, and everyone was taken to their rooms to change their clothes and prepare to hunt.

Eli's clothes were more casual, to begin with, and since hunting was usually just for fun, he didn't bring any other clothes.

After changing their clothes, they followed Rias to the back of the castle.

There was a large grassland here, and behind it was a large forest. This was the territory of the Gimori family. For the convenience of hunting, the Gimori family had placed many wild beasts here. historical

But when everyone arrived, Eli saw an unexpected person.

"Teacher!" Eli blinked.

Not far away, a gray-robed Kurt was following scholar Clement, who was following a man in luxurious clothes. There were also a few people behind the man.

"Father!" On the other side, a figure had already run over. It was Rias.

'Alright,' Eli knew who the man at the front was. It should be Count Gimori. Count Gimori walked to the front. He was wearing expensive silk clothes, and his eyes were bright. His body looked strong, and he exuded a powerful life force.

Aside from being a count, Count Gimori also had another identity.

He was also a Grand Knight.

...

"You all know that I'm going to donate some money, but I can't say for sure who will get it."

Count Gimori was walking on the road, talking with the six people from the Imperial Library, the Imperial Mystic Academy, and the Imperial Knight Academy.

During the winter last year, he had stored a large amount of grain in advance. After selling it, he collected a large amount of money. Thus, he was prepared to strengthen his contact with the outside world and donate a sum of money.

He was going to donate it to the library since his daughter was there.

However, the Empire's Mystic Academy and the Empire's Knight Academy had gotten the news from somewhere and had come looking for him. This put him in a difficult position because his other son was in the Empire's Mystic Academy, and the Knight Academy had a deep relationship with him.

"my Lord, please donate it to us. Every year, the Knight Academy trains countless outstanding soldiers. We are really short of money. If you give this money to us, we might be able to train a few more Knights today. You are also from the Knight Academy, so you should understand." The one from the Imperial Knight Academy was an old man, and behind him was a red-haired young man.

"don't listen to him, my Lord. Your son is still studying at our Academy. He is very outstanding. If everything goes well, he might even become the principal's student." An old woman was in charge of the academy and behind her was a gentle-looking man.

The Imperial Knight Academy started to play the count's emotions, while the mystic academy leveraged with his son.

Count Gimori was also in a dilemma. He thought about their reasons and then looked at scholar Clement, who had not spoken.

Looking at the Count's gaze, Clement groaned in his heart.

The three of them had more or less been in contact with the Earl, and he was also sent out by the library to deal with public relations.

However, he was a researcher who had been doing research all year round. He had no right to promise anything, but he knew that this money was very important to the library.

The library's benefits had always been poor, and it had always been dependent on the Empire's subsidies. Moreover, the Empire did not have much money this year, and as a result, the library was almost unable to get any money. None of them dared to tell their subordinates about this, which was why he had come.

Therefore, after a few seconds, he said in an uncertain tone, "Your Excellency, I can try my best to apply for the title of an honorary scholar from the curator for you."

Carter, who was behind scholar Clement, covered his head.

Teacher, you're facing a Count, and a count that's developing well. Does he lack the title of an honorary scholar? And what did you mean by 'try'?

Where's the energy you used to scold Herman?

The Count's expression did not change.

For him, an honorary scholar title was nothing.

In fact, among the three, the conditions of the Academy were not bad, while the other two were very ordinary. However, he was also from the Knight Academy, so the library was at the back of his mind.

"Sigh, this is so troublesome!" The Count was also a little troubled.

As they walked, the old man and the woman kept trying to persuade the Count. Only the honest scholar Clement walked behind them. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.

Kurt's face was filled with despair.

"Father."

As they walked, they suddenly heard a voice.

They looked up and saw a large group of young people in front of them. A black-haired girl with purple pupils in a tight black leather jacket was running toward them.

"My Rias." Count Gimori gave her a hug when he saw her. He then looked at the crowd behind her and asked curiously, "Daughter, why are you here? Who are these?"

"Father, Didn't I tell you last month that I'm going to hold a banquet? How could you forget everything? " Rias snorted as she held the Count's arm.

"I see. I remember now." The count smiled awkwardly and touched his head.

Last month, his daughter did say that she was going to hold a banquet, but he had something to do at the time and handed it over to the Butler. He didn't care much about it, and now he felt like he had been caught.

At this moment, Eli and the others walked over.

"Greetings, count Gimori. I'm Alex from the Alina family." Alex took the lead and said respectfully to the count.

"Hello, my Lord. I'm Klein, from the Alexander family." Klein followed closely behind.

The group of people introduced themselves to the count, and Eli and Herman also greeted them and introduced themselves.

"My Lord, I'm Eli, a student of scholar Clement."

"Eh? Are you a student of Clement?"

To him, it was naturally impossible for him to do anything with a bunch of children who did not even have a noble title. However, he was surprised when he heard Eli's introduction because his teacher was right behind him.

"Scholar Clement, is this your student?" he asked. He turned around and asked.

Scholar Clement was also surprised to see Eli here, so he quickly went up and replied, " count, this is indeed my student. His name is Eli, and he's a very talented student.

"They are both my students." Then, he pointed at Herman, who was standing beside Eli.

Herman thought, 'What am I? Chopped liver?'

Of course, this was just an interlude, and the count was only asking casually. He then looked at Rias and asked, "Are you guys going hunting now?"

"Yes, we're preparing to head to the horse track." Rias nodded.

"Horse track?" The count's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had suddenly thought of a good idea.

He turned around and looked at the scholars, teachers, and instructors from the three forces. "I have a good idea now. I can decide which one of you can get this donation."

"Oh?" The old man from the Knight Academy had a curious look on his face, and the other two also looked at the count.

"It's like this. I was planning to form a Regiment of Knights and purchased a large number of wild horses from the Semi Plateau.

"I suspect that one of them has the blood of a magical beast, and it has not been tamed by my Knights. If any of you can tame it, I will invest this money in your academy." Count Gimori explained.

Although the Empire didn't seem to have extraordinary powers like Wizards, magical beasts did exist, but their numbers were very small.

Taming horses?

Investment?

Eli didn't quite understand what he was saying, nor did he know why teacher Clement was there.

"Horse taming! That's a good idea!" On the other side, the eyes of the old man from the knight's Academy lit up when he heard this.

Although the student he brought with him today was only a low-level Knight, his strength and coordination were beyond ordinary people. Horse training was one of the courses in their academy.

How could he not be happy with such a suggestion?

"Taming horses is also fine!" On the other side, the woman from the mystic academy also nodded in agreement.

Although the students he brought didn't know how to tame horses, they were good at adjusting the appropriate herbs. They had a certain degree of confidence in taming wild horses, and they had also learned some lessons on how to tame animals.

Clement was speechless.

Taming a horse was too sloppy. He turned his head to look as if he wanted to ask Kurt if he knew how to tame a horse. He was already old, so he naturally couldn't personally take part in the battle.

At this moment, Kurt's face was black.

Horse taming? He was a scholar. If it was about understanding the horse's body structure, or even about the care of a mare after giving birth, he might know a thing or two. But taming a horse, he really didn't know!

Wasn't this the same as sending a scholar to the battlefield?

On the other side, the two of them had already agreed, and the count seemed to be very satisfied with this method. Scholar Clement ignored the dark expression on Kurt's face and looked at him with an encouraging expression. He then nodded at the count.

"My student is fine too."

"Okay, let's go to the horse track. Seeing that everyone had agreed," the Count revealed a proud smile.

Rias explained to Eli and the others. They all prepared to watch the show, and as for hunting, it would wait until later.

'It seems that it has nothing to do with me.' Eli was also relieved.

He thought it was something important.

In the end, it was just a donation, so it had nothing to do with him.

He pitied his senior, Kurt. He was a scholar, but he had to train horses.

'This is really interesting!'

Soon, everyone arrived at the horse track.

At the Count's request, a horse was brought out.

It was a very tall horse with maroon fur that was glossy and smooth. The color of its mane was even darker. There were four patches of white on its limbs as if it was stepping on four white clouds.

Even if he didn't know anything about horses, Eli could tell that this was a good horse.

However, at this time, the horse did not look very happy. It let out a rough grunt. It was somewhat resistant to being pulled from time to time. Its eyes were also filled with untamed wild nature.

The horse was only led by a rope and did not have any saddles.

"it does feel like it has an extraordinary bloodline." At this moment, Eli and Herman were already behind scholar Clement, observing the horse.

The horse's eyes were very bright as if there were flames burning in them. There was a sense of violence, and from the horse's body, Eli could also feel a slight element. This horse was not a magical beast, but it did have the feeling of a magical beast.

There was a high probability that he was of mixed blood.

The horse was tied to an iron rod and neighed.

"Who's first?" The Count asked, and the others also looked at him curiously.

"My student first." At this moment, the woman from the mystic academy spoke, and the man behind her walked out.

"Senior, relax a little!" On the other side, Eli turned around and suddenly realized that Kurt's muscles were very tight as if he was very nervous.

"At most, we don't need this donation. It's no big deal." Eli said with a smile.

Upon hearing the consolation, Kurt looked at Eli, the disciple his teacher had taken in three years ago. He said with a strange expression, "I forgot to tell you, this donation will pay your salary.

"Without this donation, I don't think the library can pay you for the next six months.

"Ah!"

Eli blinked.

The smile on his face also gradually froze.

He looked at Kurt and slowly said, "Senior, are you saying that without this donation, we wouldn't be paid for half a year? "

"Right!" historical

"Senior, are you confident?"

"I've never even ridden a horse before!"

This time, it was Eli who covered his face.

Translator: Lonelytree

Kurt's words were like a heavy blow to him, making him a little dumbfounded.

He did not expect that the donation was linked to his salary. Did that not mean that if Kurt failed or someone succeeded, he would not have his salary for half a year?

His expression gradually became serious.

He worked hard, so how could he not get paid?

He looked at the red-haired man not far away and the man who had already come out with a serious expression. 'In any case, I can't let the two of them succeed.'

Herman's throat moved slightly as he looked at Eli. He rarely saw such a serious expression on Eli's face.

...

At this moment, the gentle-looking man had already come out.

His hair was brown, and he always had a smile on his face. He also carried a bag on his back. If he didn't walk out, one wouldn't even see it.

The Empire's mystic academy was equivalent to a comprehensive university in modern times, but it mainly trained doctors and some professional pharmacists.

It was obvious that the curly-haired man in front of him was a pharmacist because Eli could smell the scent of herbs on him.

'A pharmacist taming a horse? Creative.'

The horse neighed when it saw a stranger approaching. It stomped its four legs on the ground and huffed out the warm air.

Eli stood not far away. He wanted to see how this fellow was going to tame the horse.

He saw the man take out a dark purple potion from his pocket and throw it on the grass in front of the horse.

The potion broke, and purple liquid flowed out. It was not poisonous, but it emitted a terrible smell. This made many nobles regret it as if they didn't want to let the smell get into their noses.

"Can you tame horses with this?" Many people looked suspicious.

But something unexpected happened.

When the horse smelled it, it actually showed an infatuated expression.

He lowered his neck and sniffed the unpleasant smell. It was like a treasure. His eyes gradually became blurred, and his body seemed to relax a little.

"It's very simple!" The man with curly hair smiled confidently and walked toward the horse.

His hand gently stroked the wild horse's fur. His movements were gentle, and he seemed to have some experience in taming animals.

Meanwhile, Eli stood not far away, quietly watching the man's actions.

"It's a simple drug, similar to hallucinogens." With just simple analysis, he had already seen the effects of the potion and even some of the ingredients.

Although the potion knowledge of a mage was lacking, it was more than enough to compete with an Empire academic.

Eli felt that this was not enough.

The man gently stroked the wild horse for a while. Seeing that the wild horse was still drunk in the potion, he grabbed the wild horse's mane and directly rode on its back.

The horse did not move at all.

"Has he succeeded just like that?"

"ah, this is the first time I've seen someone train a horse like this. This is too ridiculous."

The surrounding people looked as if they had seen a ghost. The women from the mystic academy also showed proud expressions. The men from the Knight Academy also frowned. The count looked at this scene with interest.

"It should be about time." On the other hand, Eli was calmly looking at the wild horse not far away.

If it was an ordinary horse, it might not be a problem, but this was a group of horses with extraordinary bloodlines. Such ordinary hallucinogens would probably only make them drunk for a while.

Sure enough, the wild horse suddenly felt some stimulation. A little fiery red color appeared in his eyes, and the hallucinogens gradually lost their effect.

The wild horse neighed. Feeling the man on top of him, he began to sway.

The horse's hooves kicked up a cloud of dust, and the man with curly hair looked terrified. He grabbed the horse's mane with one hand, and his body swayed up and down. A few seconds later, he was thrown off the horse's back.

The man fell from the horse's back to the ground and wailed in pain. One of his hands was deformed as if it had been fractured.

No one expected such an accident to happen. The man was quickly sent to see a doctor, leaving the crowd looking at each other.

"Who's next?" The Count asked loudly after seeing the others off.

The red-haired man seemed to be in a dilemma. He looked at the horse and pursed his lips.

As for Kurt, Eli didn't even need to look at him. At this moment, Kurt's face was deathly pale, and his legs couldn't stop trembling slightly.

In the end, it was the red-haired man who walked out.

His eyes were determined as he walked toward the wild horse. The old man behind him smiled.

A mixed-blood magic horse should be at the level of a low-ranked Knight. Although his student was still a low-ranked Knight, he was already very close to an intermediate Knight. He believed that his student would be able to complete the mission with outstanding results.

Many nobles also looked at him, wanting to see how this Knight would tame this wild horse.

At this time, the wild horse's eyes were still red, but the red-haired man didn't care. He jumped onto the horse's back.

It jumped up and tightly clamped the two sides.

The horses were stunned.

However, it seemed that the remaining madness was still there. The horse began to sway wildly, and every time it stepped on the ground, it would smash a small pit. The Knight also held on with great difficulty.

Although it was difficult, everyone could see that if the wild horse didn't have some tricks up his sleeve, he wouldn't be able to drive him off his new rider.

"It's already very good for a low-ranked Knight to be able to do this." The count nodded.

"I knew he would be fine." The old man from the Knight Academy said proudly.

Alex, Klein, and the others were watching this scene with great interest. They were descendants of great nobles and had plenty of resources, so they had reached the level of advanced and intermediate Knights long ago. This scene was just for fun for them.

Also, the circle of nobles was very strange. Although they owned many knights, they didn't seem to value their units too much. Instead, they were very interested in competitions other than strength.

For example, dancing, knowledge, business, and so on.

If nothing went wrong, the Knight should be able to tame a wild horse.

However, something that no one expected happened.

Wild horse's eyes were already red. Suddenly, as if stimulated, he let out a sharp neigh.

Its eyes became redder and redder, and gradually, both eyes became completely red. Furthermore, a burning aura was slowly being emitted.

On the back of the red horse, little flames appeared.

The Knight's eyes widened. 'Why is it burning?'

The flames weren't large, but they were scorching hot. If it was a battle, he believed that he could cut through these flames. However, he was taming a horse, and the flames had already burned the corners of his clothes.

He only had two choices now. He could either get off the horse or let the flames burn his clothes. If it were the latter, his clothes would be gone before he could tame the horse.

In this regard, the man's choice was to abandon the horse.

He jumped off the horse.

His sudden failure also shocked everyone, especially the old instructor of the Knight Academy. He looked at the wild horse, whose back was on fire, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He looked at the count and said, "my Lord, I finally know why no one in your Knight Regiment can tame this horse."

Before becoming a Grand Knight, one's physical body would not be able to withstand the flames. Below the Grand Knight level, an intermediate Knight could probably defeat the wild horse by cutting it down, but no one could withstand the flames.

Only Grand Knights and above could tame this horse.

"Besides the count, no one else can tame this horse!" The red-haired man seemed to be a little angry as he said.

"It's very difficult. This magic horse can actually produce flames. It's truly too difficult." The woman from the mystic academy looked at the burning grass on the ground and suddenly felt lucky that her student didn't really anger the horse.

However, the Count was also stunned. He looked at a few of them and said, " this horse didn't show such a characteristic before. Maybe something has changed."

If he had known, he wouldn't have suggested something like this to endanger his guests.

This matter was indeed strange. He had to investigate it after this.

The mystics and Knights frowned after hearing this. Obviously, they didn't believe the Count. They even felt that he was deliberately making things difficult for them. historical

As for scholar Clement, he believed the Count's words and thought that an accident had happened.

The count did not explain. Instead, he looked at scholar Clement and asked, "Would your student like to try?"

As soon as he finished, everyone's eyes fell on Kurt, who was behind the scholar.

Kurt's throat moved slightly, and he looked at the wild horse not far away. He seemed to be in despair.

If he didn't go, it would seem insincere. If he made the Earl unhappy, the library would have no chance of getting the donation. He could go, but there was no chance he could tame this horse.

However, for the library...

After a few seconds, Kurt forced a smile and pursed his dry lips before saying, "I..."

"I'll do it."

A voice suddenly rang out.

Kurt had a startled expression on his face as he looked at Eli, who had raised his hand in front of him. He didn't know if he should continue or take back the words that had just come out of his mouth.

"Eli!"

Everyone looked at Eli in shock, and even Rais called out his name.

"I'm also a student of scholar Clement. It shouldn't be a problem for me to tame the horse on behalf of my teacher, right, count? " he asked. Eli asked the count as he walked out of the crowd.

Everything was for the salary.

"Uh, no problem." The Count did not expect Eli would actually volunteer. He then turned to the people from the other two forces and asked, "Do you guys agree?"

The old man and the woman glanced at Eli, then nodded.

Clement's three students were all ordinary people. It was useless for them to come. Even the red-haired young man, who was about to become an intermediate Knight, failed. What else could this student do?

Could it be that he was trying to persuade the wild horse by reasoning with him?

Don't joke around.

"Are you that brave?" On the side, Alex raised an eyebrow as if he was reevaluating Eli.

This young man, who was the same age as him, was not only good at dancing, but he also seemed to be more courageous than ordinary people.

"Hmph, how could he possibly tame it? if he did, I'd give him a deep bow on the spot." Klein had a proud look on his face. After the ball just now, Eli had somewhat of status in his eyes, but he didn't think that Eli could tame this horse.

"If you want to be in the limelight, you have to have the capability. Go and embarrass yourself." In the crowd, David, who only had one side of the story, was the one who couldn't bear to see Eli doing well.

"Eli!" On the other side, the one who was the most shocked was Clement.

Speaking of which, he had three students at the moment: Kurt, Herman, and Eli.

Among them, Eli was the last to join the school, but he was very hardworking in his studies. However, to Eli, his first disciple, Kurt, who had always been by his side, was more to his liking, which was why he had brought Kurt along this time.

However, when he saw the trembling Kurt and Herman beside him, he felt that something had changed.

"be careful. This horse might have been provoked just now. If anything happens, I will save you in time." Count Gimori looked at Eli and smiled.

"Eli!" scholar Clement seemed to have thought of something and wanted to stop him.

"It's fine." Elie shook his head. Everything was for the sake of his salary. Furthermore, this was not a difficult task for him.

As for Kurt, he just stood there in a daze.

Eli walked towards the wild horse.

At the same time, an invisible spiritual power seemed to have turned into a ball and pressed toward the wild horse.

Spiritual power suppression.

Even if it was a low-level magic beast, it could at least rival an intermediate Knight and hurt an advanced Knight. However, this horse was only mixed blood and was, at most, a low-level Knight.

Although he was only a Level-1 apprentice, he could still easily suppress them.

Wild horse's eyes were a little confused at first, and then he immediately felt some pressure that made him unable to move. Then he lowered his head in pain.

This was the first step, which was to calm the horse down by using his mental power.

What came next was the main show. Eli slowly approached the horse and activated another spell model, the zero-circle spell-animal comfort.

This spell was to repeatedly simulate an animal's mental strength fluctuations and then adjust them to be similar to the animal's mental strength fluctuations. Then, a mental strength connection would be formed, and the animal would involuntarily feel close to the caster.

Because the spell was very simple, by the time Eli walked in front of the wild horse, the spell had already been completed, and the mental suppression had also been lifted by him.

The wild horse also raised his head. What he didn't understand was why he felt so close to the human in front of him.

It was like seeing his father.

The mental connection made the wild horse involuntarily approach Eli slowly. Even when Eli touched his head, there was no reaction at all. Then, he felt Eli directly pulling on his sideburns and using force to get onto the horse's back.

The wild horse was extremely obedient.

There was no struggle, and there was no flame.

It was tamed so easily.

Everyone was stunned.

They did not know that Eli had cast a spell. They only saw him walking over, and the horse lowered its head. Then, Eli leaped onto it, and the horse did not resist, taming it.

"what's going on? " Rias, who was beside the count, widened her eyes in disbelief.

"My Lord!"

The crowd was shocked, and Klein was silent.

The Count stood where he was as if he wanted to see something, but he could not.

"How is that possible?" The red-haired Knight's face was filled with disbelief. 'Where is your struggle? Where are the flames? Could it be because I've already tamed it?'

The red-haired Knight couldn't accept that he was defeated by a scholar in such a way. He quickly tried to go somewhere to get close to the wild horse, but he was met with the wild horse's angry glare. It didn't allow anyone but Eli to get close.

The red-haired Knight's mouth twitched as he was blocked. He retreated silently. He was sure that he had nothing to do with the horse taming.

The mystics didn't say anything, but they had already put away their items and were ready to leave. historical

Kurt stood there in a daze. He didn't think that he would actually succeed. On the other hand, scholar Clement had a shocked and relieved expression.

"How did you tame this horse?" A few seconds later, count Gimori approached, but he did not understand.

"My Lord, I've been close to animals since I was a child. That's why I was able to tame horses so easily." Eli gave an unscientific explanation.

As expected, the Earl's mouth twitched when he heard that. However, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up."Is it that easy for you to tame other horses?"

"It should be easier if it's an ordinary horse." Eli did not deny it.

The Count's eyes lit up.

He had recently formed a Knight order, but he had encountered a big problem since the establishment. The wild horses from the semi plateau seemed to more or less have a trace of magical beast blood. It was very difficult to tame them, and even a master tamer's efficiency was very low.

This had caused him to be very vexed recently.

"You're not joking?" The count became serious.

"Of course, but what about the investment?" Eli said, trying to beat around the bush.

"Haha, of course, it's the library's." The Count laughed.

A smile appeared on Eli's face.

He didn't care about horse training, but he couldn't let his salary be delayed. He was really short of money recently.

"how about this? I'm sure you didn't eat much at the banquet. Why don't you come to my reception room to have some tea and dessert? " At this moment, the Count suddenly extended an invitation to Eli and Clement.

He wanted to invite Eli to see if he could help him solve the problem of the Knights 'horses.

'Actually, I've already eaten a lot.' Eli thought. However, it was best not to reject the request of a count. "Of course."

Scholar Clement also agreed.

"Then let's go!" Count Gimori seemed to be very happy, and he prepared to leave.

"But father, we still have to hunt." Rias reminded him.

"Why don't you kids go hunting? we adults still have things to discuss." Count Gimori frowned and said.

Rias's heart skipped a beat. 'How are they still considered children?

'Plus, isn't Eli from the same generation as us?'

However, count Gimori was not in the mood to care about them at the moment. He immediately left with Eli and the others.

The woman from the mystic academy, the old man from the Knight Academy, and the red-haired man who still couldn't believe it left slowly. He still couldn't figure out why there was only fire when he went up.

Rias watched helplessly as Eli was taken away. She gritted her teeth and started to organize the others to hunt.

Alex also smiled as he looked at Eli's back. Then, he asked Klein, "What did you just say?"

Klein's face turned red.

Among them, Kurt went somewhere else to wait.

There was only one person, who was in a daze as he looked at the count and Eli walking side by side, and he was crying in his heart.

"It's okay, it's okay. He just got to know an Earl. It's no big deal. It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt!" David clutched his chest and followed the hunting team in discomfort.

He felt that his action of looking down on Eli back then was probably the stupidest thing he had done this year.

"You have a good student."

In the huge living room, count Gimori and scholar Clement sat opposite each other, with Eli standing on the side.

The count was holding a glass of red grape wine in his hand and looking at Eli in admiration.

"Yeah, Eli is indeed a studious student, but I didn't expect him to have such an experience in taming horses." Scholar Clement also smiled, looking at Eli in relief.

With Eli's help, he successfully kept the count's donations in the library, solving the salary problem of dozens of people at the bottom of the library. It was not only a good thing for the library, but it was also a good thing for him.

He felt that he had to reward Eli well when he got back.

"Eli, you should sit too!" Seeing that Eli was still standing, the count beckoned him to sit down.

"no, Sir count. I'd better stand." Eli smiled and refused.

Other than being polite, it was also good for him to observe the Count more carefully from a distance.

If one were to look closely at Eli's eyes, one would be able to see that mysterious sorcery was being used in the depths of his eyes, and invisible mental strength was collecting the Count's data.

This was the first time he observed a Grand Knight.

He had observed low, intermediate, and high Knights and found that there was no essential difference between them. It was nothing more than an increase in vitality and a strengthening of the physique.

However, the count, a Grand Knight, seemed to be a little different.

Eli observed through the magic that the Earl's body had definitely experienced the infiltration of elements. Traces of elements had been imbued into his flesh and tissues. This not only allowed him to explode with power that exceeded that of an Elite Knight, but if Eli was not wrong, a Grand Knight should have the power to use elements.

It might be crude, but it could be used.

This was probably the reason why Saleen Metatrin was impressed by some knights.

"What a polite child!" The Count nodded and thought of his own unlucky child.

But what he didn't know was that the polite child he was talking about had almost scanned his entire being. historical

The count and scholar Clement exchanged pleasantries for a long time before he remembered what he had to do. He smiled and asked Eli, "Well, I have a batch of wild horses from the Semi plateau that has not been tamed. I want you to help me tame them. Is that okay? " he asked.

Eli was a little hesitant.

"ten silver tars for one horse, so there should be around fifty horses in total." The count said with a smile.

One horse had ten taels, so fifty horses would be five hundred silver taels, which was equivalent to five gold taels. It was equivalent to about eight years of Eli's salary, enough for him to carry out a few experiments.

"Your Excellency, I am willing." Eli agreed easily.

He had no reason to reject the offer of making money and building a relationship with a count.

"Alright!" The count patted the sofa and laughed happily. The servants served tea and desserts, and Eli would reply occasionally. They drank tea and ate cake, and Clement and the Earl had a good conversation.

Soon, the sun slowly set, and dusk was approaching.

After the count and Eli agreed on a time, Eli left with Clement.

When they turned a corner, they happened to pass by Rias' group.

They had just finished hunting, and most of them looked a little messy. Some of them had blood and mud on them, making them look extremely dirty.

Immediately, Eli was a little glad that he had been called away by the count.

Hunting?

Was that more comfortable than drinking tea?

"What did you talk to my father about, Eli?" Rias asked curiously as she walked over.

"Children shouldn't ask about adult matters!" That one sentence drove Rias completely mad.

"Hmph, fine, I won't ask you. I'll ask him myself." Rias snorted and left.

"Eli, I'm looking forward to meeting you next time." Alex also walked past him with a smile on his face, but the dirt on his face made him appear rather unsightly.

"Yes." Eli nodded.

Many other nobles also greeted him, their attitudes completely different from when they first saw him in the banquet hall. This included Klein, the noble son who looked down on him.

"It seems like you're quite popular!" After everyone left, scholar Clement said with a smile.

"Maybe I'm more handsome." Said Eli as he touched his face.

Not too far away, Kurt was already waiting for them in the carriage. Scholar Clement and Eli got on the carriage and left Moore Manor.

Sitting in the carriage, Eli looked at the scenery outside the window, taking stock of the things that had happened and the rewards he had gained on this trip.

He received the goodwill of many nobles at the ball. He stopped the red-haired man from taming the wild horse and successfully received an investment. The most important thing was the order from the count, which finally allowed him to start the production of the potion.

It was a perfect day.

A smile appeared on Eli's face.

"Why do I feel like we've forgotten something?" As the carriage moved on, Kurt, who was sitting beside Eli, suddenly spoke up.

Eli looked at the senior, and in just a moment, he understood what he meant.

"Argh! Why did you leave me behind!"

At this moment, in the Moore Manor, Herman had just changed his clothes. He looked at the setting sun and shed tears of grief.

...

Just as Eli and the others were walking back.

The Imperial Knight Academy, in the principal's office.

"Didn't you get this donation?" On the luxurious sofa sat a middle-aged man with half-gray hair and simple clothes. In front of him stood an old man and a red-haired man.

"Tell me, what happened?" The middle-aged man held a pen in his hand as he asked the two of them.

Then, the two of them told him what they had seen.

"What, you guys actually lost to a scholar in horse training? No, he's not even a scholar! Do you think you guys are suitable to be part of the Imperial Knight Academy? And you, you're about to become an intermediate Knight, yet you can't even tame a mixed-blood horse!" The principal was so angry that he started cursing.

"principal, as you know, low-level mixed-blood magical beasts can't use elemental power. I..." the red-haired young man said through gritted teeth, feeling wronged.

"Okay, okay, okay. Don't deny your mistake, but this is indeed a little against the norm." The principal also frowned, but he couldn't think of a reason.

Moreover, from the red-haired student's words, he also knew that he had tamed the horse, but the horse suddenly went out of control. This was undoubtedly a little suspicious.

'Could it be that someone had affected the wild horse?

'But how could that be possible?' even Grand Knights could only affect their inner strength and not the outside world.

The red-haired man was also thinking. He thought of the man who had tamed the wild horse so easily, but then he shook his head. How could a scholar from the library be able to influence the mixed-blood horse so much?

"fine, stop finding excuses. From today onwards, you will have three additional lessons in horse riding every week!" In the end, the principal decided to add more classes to the Knight Academy, which was already full.

As for where it would be added to, it would naturally be within their break time.

"Young people should practice more. It's fine as long as you have enough rest time." The principal decided to use this opportunity to rectify the school's spirit.

The same thing happened in the mystic academy, but they had to increase their knowledge of potions.

Chapter 27: The Beginning of the Experiment

Translator: Lonelytree

"Teacher, you guys are too much. How could you leave me there?"

In the library, Herman was still talking about what happened yesterday, but when scholar Clement looked at him calmly, he stopped.

His "respect" for his teacher had almost become a habit.

"You're scolding me again, " Herman mumbled in a low voice as if he was looking at Eli not far away for help.

"You'd better not provoke teacher anymore," Eli said with a smile.

It was as if Herman was always the injured one.

Today was the second day after the banquet, and they came to visit the teacher according to the daily routine.

Clement sat on the chair as if that was the only thing he had the strength left to do. He looked at the disappointing Herman, then at Eli, and took out a bag from the table.

"Eli, this is the reward the library is giving you."

"Oh? " curious, Eli took the bag.

In the bag, there were three shiny gold tarls.

"What is this?" In fact, he had already guessed what it was.

"This is the reward you snatched from the Knight Academy and the mystic academy. It's not much, but you know that it's hard for the library now." Count Clement said as he looked at Eli.

"Thank you, teacher." Why would Eli mind that it was too little? This was an unexpected fortune!

He could start his potion simplification work early.

"yes, and the Count. If it's possible, try to maintain a friendly relationship and get to know more important people. It'll always be helpful to you." He saw Eli pick up the gold tarls, and then he reminded.

"I know, teacher." Eli smiled, then took out two gold tarls and placed the bag back on the table.

"What is this?" Scholar Clement did not seem to understand.

"teacher, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the chance. Just take it that I'm contributing this golden tars to buy you some new research materials." Eli replied with a smile.

"This won't do!" Clement shook his head. He was a scholar, so how could he accept gold coins from students?

"Teacher, it's not much. If you hadn't accepted me as your student, I would be an ordinary librarian." Eli said again.

He was a person who knew how to repay someone's kindness.

"Alright, then." This time, scholar Clement did not refuse, but his gaze on Eli became more kinder.

...

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

Eli went to Moore Manor a total of three times to help the count train his horses. He tamed about twenty horses, and the process went smoothly without any accidents. Eli also received two gold tarls.

The main reason was that the Count's wild horses were not transported to the horse track together but in batches.

After all, the horse track was only so big. In addition, there were already some horses raised there. It was impossible to keep nearly a hundred horses. They could only be transported in batches, tamed, and then transported away.

Regarding this, Eli didn't have much of an opinion. Anyway, the manor wasn't far from the city, and he could also make a trip to his secret base along the way. It was just a few more trips, no big deal.

"It's time to find Roland."

He already had four gold tarls in his hand, enough for him to carry out the first round of experiments.

He had not seen Roland for a long time.

...

Three days later in the Rose Chamber of Commerce.

In a simple room on the second floor that was not considered luxurious, Eli was sitting on the sofa, and opposite him was a friend he had known for a long time, Roland.

However, compared to more than three years ago, Roland was more mature now. He had black hair and blue eyes that were less translucent and more shrewd than before. He sat opposite Eli and said with a smile, "Eli, I've found all the materials you wanted."

"Thanks." Eli nodded.

Two days ago, he told Roland what he needed, and then Roland helped him gather the materials with the power of the Chamber of Commerce. In just two days, he had collected all the materials.

It could only be said that Roland really had the connection. If Eli were to collect them, he might not even be able to collect them in a few months. This also reflected the importance of networking.

"Hey, by the way, what do you need so many materials for?" Roland was a little confused. historical

"I've been doing some research on Herbology recently, and I think it's very interesting." Eli found an excuse.

"I see." Roland nodded. He had now taken over his family's business and was getting to know more and more people, but he had fewer and fewer close friends. Eli was a very special one among them.

Eli was very special in the sense that he didn't care about anything.

It made him feel like Eli was looking at the world from a higher level, but it was contradictory. How could an ordinary person give him such a feeling? He could only attribute it to his reverence for scholars like Eli.

"However, I can't give you these materials for free." Roland already had the self-awareness of a businessman.

"That's for sure," Smiling, Eli took out four golden tars, which was all he had.

The experiment would definitely take a long time, and he did not know how long it would last.

"Well, I didn't expect you to be a rich man." Roland laughed when he saw the gold tarls and then put them away.

"I'll arrange for someone to send these materials to your house." Roland stood up, but the next second, he added, "oh, by the way, I heard that there's a high-end place in Liuying Street, and there are even down-and-out noble women there. Do you want to go together? "

Eli cast a strange glance at Roland. 'Great, am I that kind of person?'

"You can go on without me."

"When the time comes, I'll call you."

"You've changed a lot."

"You haven't changed at all!"

...

Eli's experiment began.

Because the money had been gathered in advance, it allowed him to start the work of potion-making, but this work was much more difficult and complicated than Eli had imagined.

Due to the lack of notes on potion-making, Eli had to explore many things on his own, and the progress of his experiment had been stuck at the first stage.

He divided the potion work into three stages, which were the preliminary screening of the materials, the specific replacement of the materials, and the configuration of the potion.

The first stage was the most time-consuming and money-consuming one because he had to spend a lot of time collecting the herbs that had the effect of the original potion. This could only be done through repeated experiments.

However, this was nothing much for Eli. After all, he could learn a lot from it.

As for when the magic potion would be refined, that was completely up to fate. He wasn't that anxious.

Three months later, the first stage of Eli's work stopped again.

It wasn't because he had succeeded but because he had run out of money.

The high-intensity experiments consumed materials at a rapid rate. In just three months, all the materials he bought were depleted. However, for some unknown reason, the horses did not arrive in the past three months, which meant that he did not have new money for the experiments.

Of course, he could earn a salary from the library, but he was not even a scholar. His salary was limited, and it was completely inadequate.

"I can't just steal or rob." On this day, Eli had just finished tidying up the books in the library and was on his way to visit his teacher.

He pushed the door open.

Scholar Clement was cursing and waving his hands, and Herman was standing in the corner with his head lowered.

What was happening?

Chapter 28: The Deceived Herman

Translator: Lonelytree

"Can you be a little smarter? Those people are obviously in cahoots with the casino."

Scholar Clement was so angry that he kept knocking on Herman's head with his right hand. Herman's forehead was already red.

"Teacher, I thought ..." Herman's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked very pitiful. However, he was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"You thought... if you were half as thoughtful as Eli, I would be at ease." Scholar Clement spoke too quickly, and his lips were a little dry. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a few sips.

After drinking the water, scholar Clement became even more powerful. He continued to lecture Herman, not even realizing that Eli had entered. However, when Herman saw him, he looked like he had seen his savior.

His eyes widened, and he cast a pleading look.

"Ahem, teacher," Eli nodded and coughed twice.

"Eli? When did you come in?" This time, scholar Clement also noticed it and said in surprise.

'I've been in here for a few minutes, but you were too focused on scolding Herman.' Eli complained inwardly, but he naturally couldn't say that. He glanced at his teacher, then at Herman, who was not far away, and asked, "Teacher, what happened? Did Herman get the data wrong again?"

"This is getting me all worked up again." Scholar Clement was so angry that he couldn't say anything. He returned to his chair, raised his head, and pointed at Herman.

"Let him tell it himself. What did you do?"

Eli looked over.

Herman seemed to feel a little embarrassed as well. He mumbled, "Actually, I'm also a victim."

Herman then told him his story.

It turned out that he had made a few new friends at the banquet, and a few days ago, one of his " friends " invited him to Moca casino to play. However, he had never been to that kind of place before, so he naturally refused, but he was still taken to the casino in the end.

Then, he began to gamble. At first, he was very cautious. After all, it was his first time there. However, he didn't expect that this place seemed to be much easier than he had imagined. He actually won a lot of money, and his courage grew.

Then, he transferred all his money into the bank and borrowed a lot of money.

When he finished listening, Eli fell silent.

Could he be this simple?

He had made a bad friend!

"Then how much did you lose in total?" Eli asked curiously. How much did you lose to make scholar Clement so angry?

"I've lost two golden tars, and I still owe the casino one."

Eli covered his face. Three gold tarls were equivalent to five years of their salary. No wonder scholar Clement was so angry.

"It's only right for the teacher to scold you this time." Said Elie, shaking his head.

"I was tricked too. I didn't expect them to be in cahoots," Herman complained.

"Shut up. There won't be the next time." Scholar Clement was still very angry.

"What about the money you owe?" How did you pay them?" Eli asked again. historical

"Teacher helped me return it." Herman did not even dare to look at his teacher.

"Alright," Eli nodded. Clement was really a good teacher.

"Sigh, I won't go again." Herman then promised his teacher. After all, Clement was a sharp-tongued teacher.

"really. It's better to avoid gambling." Whether it was in his previous life or here, there were many cases of gamblers losing their families. As long as Herman remembered this lesson, he would be fine.

After the visit, Eli left the room.

Walking in the long corridor, he could hear scholar Clement lecturing Herman again, telling him not to go to the casino.

In the long corridor, Eli suddenly stopped.

In the dark corridor, Eli's eyes lit up.

He seemed to have thought of a way to solve his money problem.

...

"Customer, here's the rum you wanted!"

In the bar, Eli took the rum from the bartender. The wooden glass looked old, but the liquid inside looked cool.

Ignoring the crack in the glass, Eli drank it all in one go.

Looking around, there were mercenaries and drunkards everywhere. Some of them were around the table drinking wine while making fun of the beautiful ladies of the noble families. Some of them were already drunk and lying under the table.

This was an ordinary bar in Moon Lane, which was as famous as Liuying Street. As for Moon Lane, it was filled with bars, casinos, and even places to buy and sell slaves.

He was here today to check out the layout of Moon Street and the distribution of the streets.

He paid the bartender and walked out.

He was wearing ordinary clothes and looked very thin and weak. In addition, the place was very messy, so as he walked out, three of the shifty-looking guys followed.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, a noisy voice immediately entered his ears. He looked around.

A very long street came into view. The road was dirty and poor. There were carriages galloping on the road, as well as civilians in ragged clothes. There were also homeless people lying in the alleys by the side of the road. It was a chaotic place.

The bar was located on the side of the street, and opposite it was a magnificent casino. The exterior was made of black stone bricks, and the exterior was painted gold. The people going in and out were all rich people.

This was a Street where the poor and the rich coexisted at the same time. Or rather, the poverty of the majority of the people supported the wealth of the minority.

After taking a glance at the casino, Eli walked down the street and blended into the crowd.

The little thieves behind him wanted to continue chasing, but as they chased, they realized that they had lost him. They looked around but couldn't find Eli at all. They cursed and turned around.

The street was very chaotic.

The tailing of a few thieves was naturally not worth mentioning. Soon, Eli had completely understood the structure and layout of the street, and even every small path was memorized in his mind.

He had no choice. He had to be cautious. After all, what he was going to do next was dangerous!

He planned to raise some money from these casinos for the experiment.

Since this morning, he had an idea. He wanted to make use of his wizard abilities to make a lot of money from these casinos. Since there were not many innocent people in these casinos, he could just take it as robbing the rich to help the poor.

As for who was rich and who was poor, it would naturally be him who was rich in the casino.

He also had an idea of which casino to start with.

That was the Moca casino.

It was the same casino that had scammed Herman of three gold tarls.

Coincidentally, when Eli walked out earlier, the resplendent casino opposite him was Moca casino.

"Who asked you to lie to my senior!" A smile appeared on Elie's face. Herman had become a student of Clement before him, so he was his senior.

"I'm such a good junior." After he was done with his observation, Eli strode out of the street.

Today, he was only here to observe. Tomorrow was his day of action.

Chapter 29: Big Fish

Translator: Lonelytree

The moonlight wrapped around the night sky, and the lights were lit up in moon alley.

At night, the liveliness here had just begun.

"Sir, do you want to come in and gamble a few rounds?"

In front of Moca casino, Evans was wearing a black waiter's uniform with a light perfume on his body. He was smiling and attracting passing guests.

He was a casino attendant, responsible for attracting passing guests or serving familiar gentlemen.

However, it seemed that his business performance today was not very good. A few hours had passed, but he had not seen any rich gentlemen. Only the stinky tramps passed by.

There were even customers he had once received, but that was in the past. They had long been emptied out by the casino, and they were no longer important. Of course, if they became rich again one day, they would receive their respect again.

"Get lost. Do you think you can enter this place?" After driving away a few homeless people, Evans sighed.

"The market hasn't been too good recently. If I can't get a few easy targets, I'm afraid I won't have money to eat."

The casino also had to earn, and it was clear that he had not completed this month's target.

"Welcome!" After welcoming a guest in ordinary clothes, he stood at the door again. Only the guests who looked very distinguished were worthy of his attention.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.

A carriage came from not far away. The exterior of the carriage was made of rosewood and was purple in color. The horses were also shiny and strong. What was even better was that the curtains on the windows were made of red roses, a high-end fabric.

"This person is definitely very rich!" Evans was envious.

The carriage was probably his decades of savings. The people inside must be very rich. It would be great if they were his guests.

As if the heavens had heard his wish, the carriage actually stopped in front of the gambling house.

Then, the curtain was pulled open, and a man in a luxurious black suit, a black hat, and golden glasses walked down. He held a very luxurious cane in his hand, and he had a short beard. He looked like a gentleman, and then he walked towards the casino.

It seemed that Evans did not expect that the story would really happen.

He immediately went up to welcome him.

"welcome to Moca casino, honorable Sir." Evans put his right hand on his chest and lowered his head.

The gentleman didn't seem to mind. He just frowned and waved his hand as if to dispel the dirty smell. Then, he walked inside.

Seeing this, Evans was not angry but happy. It seemed that this man rarely came here.

He immediately walked up to the man and asked, "Is this your first time here, Sir?"

"Yes, it is." Eli nodded and replied.

The gentleman was naturally Eli, but the disguised Eli.

In order to make money, he naturally had to put on a disguise. Otherwise, it would be terrible if he got into trouble later.

Therefore, as soon as he left the place yesterday, he found a carriage company. He first rented a high-end carriage, then rented a few sets of luxurious-looking clothes, and then disguised his face before he came to the casino.

As for why they wanted to rent high-end clothes, it was because of Evans's attitude.

"Oh, Sir, is this your first time coming to such a place?" Evans asked in greater detail.

"Yes, I'm here to have some fun. I came from a far away chamber of commerce, and I was a little bored, so I came to have some fun. This is my first time." Eli smiled in response.

Chamber of Commerce! This was his first time!

The two keywords made Evans' eyes light up.

This was an easy target!

It was not easy to establish a Chamber of Commerce. Each of them had at least unimaginable wealth, not to mention the large Chambers of Commerce that spanned regions and even countries.

"Sir, if you don't mind, let me lead you to have some fun." With a smile on his face, Evans tried his best to hide his joy.

"I do need someone to introduce me to the rules of the game." Eli smiled, taking out his money bag.

After that, he accidentally revealed a lot of gold tarls in the bags and gave Evans a few silver tarls as a tip.

"Thank you, sir!" When Evans saw the gold, he estimated that there were at least dozens of gold tarls. He swallowed and felt that he was really going to get lucky.

"Hey, then, don't just stand there. Bring me in to play." Eli kept his money bag and touched his cane. historical

The gold coins were naturally fake. In fact, only one gold and silver Tarl were real, and the rest were fake.

"Alright, alright, please!" With an ingratiating expression on his face, Evans led Eli inside.

"I might have reached my quota for this year!" He had already started to let his imagination run wild.

Evans walked in front, and Eli followed him unhurriedly.

He passed through the main door and entered the casino.

It was luxurious and noisy.

That was Eli's first impression of this place.

The floor was covered with gorgeous carpets, and there were all kinds of tables in the large space. All kinds of guests were playing all kinds of " games " around the tables. Silver tarts and gold tarts were everywhere.

A lady in revealing clothes was holding a high-end wine. Most of them were dressed very nakedly. If he didn't know where he was, he would have thought that he had gone to a brothel!

"Sir, it's your first time here, so you can play something simple," suggested Evans.

Eli nodded, a " lost " expression on his face as if he didn't know where to start.

"Alright, please come with me." Evans smiled.

At this time, not far away, a man climbed out of a door and spat out blood. Then, in just a few seconds, two people grabbed him back in, leaving only the blood on the ground.

"he owes the casino a lot of money. Don't worry, Sir. Our casino is very law-abiding." Evans explained when he saw Eli's eyes.

Follow the rules?

Eli smiled and didn't say anything. He just kept following Evans.

"Here, move, move!" Soon, they arrived at a gambling table. Evans immediately stepped forward and dispersed the crowd, leaving the middle seat for them.

"Sir, here!" Mr. Eli," said Evans.

Looking a little embarrassed, Eli glanced at the people who had stepped aside and was pulled to sit away by Evans.

"Sir, you have the right to sit here!"

The other customers looked at this scene with strange expressions, but they didn't say anything. As veteran gamblers, they could tell at a glance that Eli was a " newbie " who had never come into contact with this place.

Eli sat down, and Evans, who was standing behind him, quietly made a gesture to the waiter in the middle of the table. The waiter immediately understood.

He looked at the harmless-looking Eli and smiled.

The big fish had taken the bait.

Chapter 30: It Was All Luck

Translator: Lonelytree

"Sir, this is the simplest game we have here. It's very suitable for you to get started."

The chair behind him was filled with velvet, which was very soft and comfortable. On the table in front of him were the dice and the dice pot, and beside him was Evans, who was introducing the rules of the game to him.

"Dice?"

He did not expect to see familiar things in this world. It could only be said that there were all kinds of coincidences in the endless world.

"customer, the rules of this game are very simple. It's a competition for points. There are six dice in there. The one with the lower number wins." It's very simple. Evans introduced him.

"Oh, then who's going to compete with me?" Eli asked.

"I'll do it!" At this moment, a man walked out of the crowd.

He was wearing clothes with golden threads. His eyes were deep and concave, his nose was aquiline, and his face was long. He seemed to give off a sense of oppression just by standing beside the gambling table, but he had a faint smile on his face.

"I'll play a few rounds with you." The man sat down at the table across from him and said to Eli.

"Sure!" Eli nodded and turned around. He asked Evans, "What should I do next?"

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard him.

The waiter smiled, and the man glanced at him, too. Only Evans was still " enthusiastic " about helping Eli. He explained, "Sir, you can roll the dice first, then place a sum of money to see if the other party is willing to follow or raise the sum. If they follow, you can continue to follow. If they don't follow, then we'll start a competition for points. At most, you can add one gold Tarl at a time."

"I see!" A look of realization appeared on Elie's face, and she immediately took out a golden Tarl, saying, "I'm in!"

"Sir, you have to roll the dice first!" Evans did not know what to say.

"Oh, I forgot," Eli replied, then took back the gold tarl, looking completely like a newbie.

"Come on." Eli raised his head towards the opposite side.

The man nodded, and the two of them shook the dice at the same time.

After a series of clanking and shaking sounds.

"I'll start with one gold tarl," said Eli directly.

"Sir, he's the dealer. He'll go first." As usual, Evans reminded him.

"Ten silver tarls!" The man in front of him sneered and then said.

"then I'll still raise a golden Tarl. I didn't bring many silver tars." Eli said honestly, revealing his bottom line.

"No!" The man opposite him didn't seem to expect that Eli would still go straight for a gold tarl. It looked like they had really gotten the big fish this time.

"Then are we going to reveal the result now?" Eli looked at the waiter with a puzzled expression.

"Okay!" The waiter nodded.

In the two dice cups, Eli had 20 points, while the man had 26 points. He lost to Eli.

"Sir, you win," Evans shouted with excitement.

"Let's play another round." The man in front of him seemed a little angry and said in a low voice.

"Alright!"

The sound of the dice rang out again.

This time, Eli immediately followed up with two gold tarls.

The result appeared, and Eli won again.

He had twenty-six, and the other side had thirty-five. The man had lost to Eli.

"Oh, Sir, you must be a genius in this field, my God." Evans did not hide his admiration for Eli at all. Some beautiful women in the crowd were also making eyes at him.

"Detestable!" The man in front of him slammed the table, no longer as dignified as before.

At this moment, there were already four gold tarls in Eli's hand.

What a terrifying money-making speed.

Of course, he completely understood that the money was given to him by his opponent. He didn't even use any tricks in these two rounds because he was very sure that he wouldn't lose the first two rounds.

"Again! I'm going to bet everything this time." The man's eyes were already a little red as if the money he had lost had already made him feel a little uncomfortable!

But on the other side, Eli just maintained his smile. Under the observation of his spiritual power, he could clearly feel that the man had dripped something into his eyes when he was lying on the table.

Looking at Evans, who was already a fanatical fan of Eli, he pursed his lips.

It was true that in this relatively simple society, most people would probably be deceived by them, but Eli, who had experienced how scamming worked in his previous life, naturally knew that these were all intentional.

He would lose money soon.

However, he could not lose.

"Alright, another round." Eli laughed heartily, seemingly very happy.

The two of them shook the dice again!

Clanking sounds were heard as if the gold tarls were colliding.

"I have a total of three gold tarls. Are you going to follow?" he asked. The man looked at Eli ferociously.

Eli wasn't sure if he was going to win this round, so he activated his spiritual perception.

Under the invisible mental power, the six dice in the dice cup were reflected in his eyes.

The man had four one's and two two's, a total of eight points. On the other hand, Eli casually rolled three two's, two Four's, and one six's, a total of 20 points.

Obviously, from this point of view, Eli was completely defeated.

Then, his mental power instantly entered the dice cup, and the dice began to flip under the control of his mental power, directly turning into six one's.

"Alright, I'll follow!" Eli was as generous as ever.

"Hehe!"

On the other side, a smile appeared on the man's face. Dice could be controlled through special means. In order for him to win more reasonably, he only controlled his own dice and controlled the number to an outrageous but not-so-outrageous level.

Open! historical

In an instant, the expression on the man's face froze.

He saw Eli's die, and it actually had six one's.

"Six one's!"

Everyone around them had their mouths wide open as well. They didn't expect that Eli's luck would be so good that even the man with four one's actually lost to him.

"He has such good luck!" The experienced players were all prepared to see Eli make a fool of himself, but they did not expect him to actually roll six one's. This made everyone feel astonished.

"How is that possible?" The man seemed to feel that he had shot himself in the foot.

He watched as the gold tarls were once again absorbed into Eli's bag, his cheeks sweating. This time, it really wasn't an act. So he looked at the waiter not far away and nodded.

The attendant understood tacitly.

"Hey, mister, you're really lucky today!" Evans couldn't help but exclaim at Eli's luck, and then he congratulated him.

"I can't stop my luck!" Eli didn't hide his happiness either as he picked up the gold coin.

"Again!" The man's face was already red, and he glared at Eli fiercely.

The next time, he would directly adjust Eli's die, making it impossible for him to win.

"Again!" The man shouted again.

But what he didn't expect was that Eli actually stood up directly, glanced at him, and said, " I'm not playing anymore. It's boring. Let's change to another game!"

The man was instantly stunned!

How can you fucking stop? If you did, how could I scam you?

"Sir, you're not playing anymore?" Evans was also stunned and even more anxious.

If he really let Eli go out directly, he would be in deep trouble today.

"no, I see there are still cards over there. Why don't we go and play cards? " Eli shook his head as if he felt that shaking the dice was too boring.

"It's alright!" Evans's heart sank. Fortunately, it was just a different game, and playing cards was much easier than playing dice. The casino would definitely earn back the money quickly, and he could also get a cut of the earnings.

'He's just a person with slightly better luck.' With that thought in mind, Evans led Eli to the other side.

Only the man was left standing there in a daze, like a fool.

"Luck, it's all luck!"

Chapter 31: Escape

Translator: Lonelytree

Soon, Evans came to another table.

These were Byrne cards, similar to the poker cards in his previous life, but there was a huge difference in both the number of cards and the way to play them. However, they were still cards, and there was not much difference in essence.

Just like before, upon his arrival, he was immediately sent to the center of the gambling table.

It was different from the previous one-on-one games. This game was a group game. historical

"Sir, let me introduce you to the rules!" As usual, Evans greeted the waiter directly.

What he meant was to play to your death.

During this process, Eli looked at the gambling table with interest, just like before.

'Hmph, you'll be crying soon!' Evans thought viciously.

The game soon began.

In the first round, Eli won a silver Tarl.

Evans gave the waiter a confused look, but the waiter told him that he was just lucky.

In the second round, Eli lost ten silver tars.

Evans let out a sigh of relief and looked at him as if he could already see the scene of him crying out an hour later.

However, when the third round began, the situation changed.

In the third round, Eli won one gold Tarl.

In the fourth round, Eli won fifty silver tars.

In the fifth round, Eli won ten silver tars.

...

Ten minutes passed, and Eli didn't lose a single round, as if the loss just now was just an accident.

'How is this possible?' Evans was already sweating. He had a feeling that something was not right.

He looked at the waiter, who also looked like he had seen a ghost.

They could use special methods to know what the cards were. However, the man in front of them seemed to not only know the cards but also seemed to be able to calculate what everyone was going to play and win step by step.

But how could that be possible?

Could someone really calculate all these in such a short time?

Was he still human?

Even the best gambling master in the casino couldn't do it.

The waiter took a deep breath and then opened the cards again.

This time, the bet was bigger, and Eli won two gold Tarls from the dealer.

"I win again, haha." Eli laughed loudly.

As Eli won more and more, some of the others also started to gamble with him. They also won some money and looked happy.

At this time, the waiter was a little afraid to show his cards.

"Show me your cards!" Eli said as he looked and tried.

"Alright!"

The attendant played his card again.

Eli won another fifty silver tars.

"Show me your cards!" Eli said as usual.

The waiter was already a little unsteady on his feet. He looked at Eli like a hungry wolf opening its ferocious mouth, about to take a big bite.

"We're finished!" Evans' forehead was already covered in sweat.

In a short ten minutes, Eli had already won more than a dozen gold tarls.

This was completely beyond his imagination.

This also completely overturned his previous thoughts. 'How was this a fat sheep? this was clearly a terrifying giant wolf!'

He knew that he could not go on like this. He raised his head and gestured to the attendant to continue, then said to Elie, " Sir, you can play first. I'm going to the bathroom."

"Go, go, go!" At this moment, Eli seemed to be having a good time as he casually dispersed him.

Evans immediately walked out of the crowd, but he didn't go to the bathroom, but to the back of the casino.

On the other hand, Eli was shouting loudly as usual, with a faint smile at the corner of his eyes.

'I know where all the cards are and even what your next move will be. Can you beat me?'

...

Evans knocked on a door.

"Come in!" A rough voice sounded.

Evans opened the door and walked in. In front of him was a large room, which was filled with smoke. A man with a scar on his face was holding a naked woman and touching her up and down.

He seemed to be a little unhappy when he saw Evans, but he also stopped. He knew that something must have happened, or he wouldn't have come here.

"What happened?" The man asked as he leaned on the sofa.

"Boss, it's like this...!" Evans quickly told him about what happened with Eli.

"How much did he win?" The scar-faced man asked directly.

"It's already twenty gold tarls." Evans gave a specific number.

"What?" When the man heard the number, he pushed the woman aside and widened his eyes. He didn't expect that much.

Although the casino was huge, it was possible that their daily profit was only a dozen gold tarls, and that included other expenses. In other words, if Eli had taken it away, they would have worked for nothing for many days.

And what was even more terrifying was that Eli was still playing.

"Send someone to keep an eye on him first. Isn't he still in the carriage? You guys keep a close eye on that carriage." The scar-faced man said sternly. He then called two more people in and said, "Dave and Jones, you guys are Knights. You should know what to do when he gets out.

The two men who were called in were strong and muscular. They both nodded. In a while, they would be " vagrants " who had accidentally stolen Eli's money.

"You go back first and stabilize him." The man said to Evans.

"Alright!" Evans nodded.

By the time Evans returned to the table, there was already a pile of gold and silver tarls in front of Eli. Judging from the discussions around him, it had only been a few minutes, but he had won another dozen gold tarls.

At this moment, the waiter was almost unable to stand steadily. He looked at Eli as if he had seen the devil.

Seeing that Evans was back, she felt a little relieved, but her arms were still shaking.

As expected, Eli won again.

At this moment, a group of people had already gathered around Eli. They looked at Eli with a fanatical gaze. They had already earned quite a bit by following Eli's lead every time.

Hence, this meant that the casino suffered a huge loss.

"I'm going to the toilet!"

This time, Eli didn't ask for the cards to be revealed as usual but stood up instead.

He put away some of the gold tarls and asked Evans, "Where's the toilet?"

Confused, Evans pointed to the direction of the casino, and then Eli swaggered to the casino's toilet.

Evans was not sure if he really needed to go to the bathroom. Although there were windows in the bathroom, they were all tied up with iron bars. It was impossible for ordinary people to break the window and escape. Even an intermediate Knight could not remove the iron bar without making any noise.

In addition, Eli still had seven or eight gold tars worth of chips on the table.

So, Evans followed him and waited outside the toilet.

Ten minutes passed.

Eli still didn't come out.

"Something's wrong!" Evans felt that something was wrong.

He immediately called for his men and rushed into the toilet.

However, when they entered, they only saw that the window, which was originally sealed by the iron rod and iron sheet, had a large hole in it. The iron rod was bent.

As for Eli, he had already disappeared without a trace.

"We're done for!" Evans' body went limp and fell to the ground. Then he shouted to his back, "Quickly chase!!"

Chapter 32: Lost Him

Translator: Lonelytree

"Hurry up!"

Evans' shrill voice was heard. At the same time, David and Jones, who had been standing not far away, were stunned for a moment before they immediately took action.

One of them headed for the door while the other tried to get out through the hole in the toilet. However, his body was too thick, and he couldn't get through at all, so he immediately pulled himself out and chased after the door.

"You go that way, and I'll go this way!"

David pointed to one side of the casino and ran to the other.

The toilet of the casino was located on the right side of the casino. Behind it was where the carriages were parked. There were people on both sides at all times, so Eli was definitely within this range.

They only needed to split into two groups, and they would definitely be able to find him.

"It's a good thing the boss deployed people just now." David had golden hair and was wearing a leather jacket, which exposed his rock-hard body. As an intermediate Knight, he was one of the casino owner's strongest fighters.

He was very fast and quickly entered the alley.

The alleys here were very dark, and there were many of them connected together. Thus, he checked very carefully, not daring to miss a single corner.

Jones was the same. As a low-level Knight, his vision was powerful enough to see the alley clearly even at night.

"Even a mosquito can't escape my sight!" Jones grinned. They would not be too afraid of a merchant.

Eli snapped the iron bars of the toilet in advance, so he was definitely not a good merchant.

Yes, Jones believed that Eli must've worked together from the inside to open the metal bars in advance, which gave him a chance to escape. As for why the metal bars were like that, he couldn't think of any reason.

'Eli, where are you?' historical

The two of them watched very carefully. In the process, the people from the other casinos also joined in.

But ten minutes later, David had already searched half of the place, and Jones had also finished searching the other half.

At the intersection, David and Jones looked at each other in silence.

The seven or eight casino staff behind the two also had ashen faces.

They couldn't find him!

They had already searched every corner of the place, but there was no trace of him at all.

"We're done for!"

One of them even fell to the ground. Evans had no strength left in his body, and he was in despair.

At this point, how could he not understand that Eli wasn't some fat sheep at all, but a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing and a hungry wolf that had his eyes on them?

What was even more despairing was that he had taken the initiative to bring him in.

Evans could not imagine what would happen next.

"Oh, that's right, there's also a carriage!" Evans 'eyes suddenly lit up as if he had just thought of something.

"Right!" David and Jones also felt a sense of grievance as if they had been played. Everyone immediately ran to where the carriage was placed.

But when they arrived and saw the coachman, the coachman asked with a puzzled look, "That guest rented my carriage, and I'm not his coachman!"

"Do you know his name?" David grabbed the driver and asked with his eyes wide open.

"Sir, cough, cough!" The coachman was lifted up with one hand, and he felt a little breathless.

"David, let go!" Jones couldn't stand it anymore. The coachman couldn't say anything even if he wanted to!

David also realized that he was being a little inappropriate. He let go of the coachman, and the coachman fell to the ground. After a few seconds, he stood up in fear.

"I remembered that when he rented the horse, he gave the name Harry Potter.

"Harry Potter!" David and Jones couldn't help but repeat the name, trying to remember it.

"Let's go back to see the boss."

Since they couldn't find him, they could only go back and wait for their boss's punishment.

...

"What? You didn't catch him?"

In the room, the boss's face was full of anger. He slammed the table in anger, and the hard table made a loud sound.

"Boss, this could be a gang crime!" Jones said in a low voice.

"Oh?" The boss raised his head.

"boss, look, the rental carriage driver, the iron bars that were opened in advance, and the man who disappeared so quickly. This is definitely not something that can be done by one person. There must be a team!" Jones analyzed.

He wasn't as strong as David, but being smart was one of the reasons why he was able to be on the same level as David.

"It's possible!" The boss nodded and closed his eyes. Ten seconds later, he opened his eyes again and said, "How much did the casino lose this time?"

"I'll have to ask about that." Jones and the others had been here the whole time, so they didn't know about this. They quickly called the person in charge outside.

"boss, we lost about 80 gold taels in total. The guy named Harry Potter took about a third of it and won 35 gold taels in total. He left seven and took 28."

"So many?" The boss's eyes widened in shock at the number.

He thought it would be at most thirty or forty!

"How could there be so many? and where did the other two-thirds go?" The boss rubbed his head and felt a little pain.

"Boss, that guy always starts with small gambles. If he has more, he'll bet all of it. That's why he has so many gambling winnings. The rest is from the gambles who followed him and won." The person in charge didn't dare to speak anymore.

Eighty gold tarls!

It would probably take them a few months to earn back that amount.

"Boss, should we get the money back from our existing customers?" David asked.

"If you do that today, our casino will close down tomorrow." The boss's mouth twitched as he listened to this suggestion. Most of those customers had a certain status, so how could they do that?

They could only suffer in silence.

"Investigate! I want you to find this Harry Potter guy. I must catch him." The boss stood up and said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Yes, boss," Jones nodded and immediately walked out.

They couldn't do these things well. They had to find a professional.

"Also, don't tell anyone about what happened today." Then, the boss ordered the others.

It was too embarrassing. If word got out, he was afraid that his casino would lose face.

"You guys can leave!" After instructing everyone, the boss dispersed everyone. A man sat on a chair, his strong figure seemed to shrink!

"Harry Potter!"

In the room, the boss's gritting voice echoed.

...

At the same time, at the place where David and Jones had gathered earlier.

In the dark corner, under the moonlight, a man slowly stepped out of the darkness, put on his hat, and walked out of the alley.

Spell-dark concealment.

After avoiding a few people, the man left moon alley.
