Chapter 103 (1/2)
Half an hour after Vincent entered the acadeed froe, Link felt a faic presence—it was Herrera!
Link heaved a sigh of relief
The carriage stopped in front of Vincent's security wooden hut Herrera opened the carriage'sand observed Link with her clear blue eyes She was clearly surprised by what she saw
Link had the feather of disguise to conceal his ic presence In the eyes of others, he was no different froiven him the feather and was thus not affected by its effect She could tell fro from Link
It was at least on par with a Level-4 Magician
A poorthy of the title, the Chosen One, Herrera thought
The e, her attention was drawn to the heavily injured Darris as laid casually on the ground His whole body was charred and his features disfigured Based on his appearance alone, no one would believe that this was once the proht not be able to recognize his chief disciple in this state
However, Magicians had a different way to determine someone's identity The most reliable way to check for a person's identity was through their ic presence
Herrera cast an Aura of Detection spell on herself and confirmed that the charred piece of flesh in front of her was indeed Darris
”It seems like he was hit by a Level-4 Flame Blast spell…Vincent, I need to talk to Link in private” Herrera looked sternly at Vincent
”I will go boil some water back in my hut”
Vincent did not question her decision
”Thank you very much,” Herrera replied politely
Only Herrera and Link were left
Herrera first released a Soundproof Barrier spell to ensure their privacy before asking, ”What exactly happened?”
Link narrated his encounters in the Girvent Forest, notout on any detail He recounted the ambush, the battle, his conversation with Darris and finally his recovery work on the forest
”I cannot prove what I just said as I do not have a memory crystal However, you can always question Darris when he wakes up The battle scene at the Girvent Forest is also a telling evidence They can prove the accuracy of my account” Link said
Herrera then waved her hands, ”There is no need to, I believe you”
There was no reason for Link to lie Furtherical or suspicious about his account The fact that Darris was so severely injured outside of the acade on
Darris was supposed to be in the acade the acade out of the ordinary, especially for a high-ranking Magician like Darris
”You handled the situation well It will be for the best if this issue is settled quietly We cannot harerous iic without consideration of the i him to Principal Anthony directly,” Herrera explained
Magician Bale was a member of the six-person council of the acadeher status than Bale was Principal Anthony,him the only person who had the authority to deal out any punishest Magician in the council In case of any eencies, Anthony was probably the only person who could put a stop to his madness
Link nodded andDarris up into Herrera's carriage With a slight movement of his wand, Darris floated up in the air effortlessly
Only at that ic wand While not aesthetically pleasing, she was surprised by what she saw
”An Epic quality wand, did you make this yourself?” Herrera was shocked
Based on her calculations, it had not been a ic It was nearly impossible that he could reach this standard in such a short period of time
It was an insanely fast speed even for the Chosen One
Link sat down in the carriage and passed his matchstick to Herrera, ”Quite an ordinary wand In fact, I a a new one soon”
He felt extremely accomplished when he first created the wand However, after this period of training, he had once again deepened his understanding ofat the matchstick now, he felt that it was too unrefined
Herrera carefully inspected the wand and sighed, ”I have nothing ic In fact, you have already surpassed me in some areas”
Tio, Link was inquiring about the fundaic Now, he had already become a mid-level Enchanter like her, and had even developed his own enchantment technique
She returned the wand to Link and said, ”There are indeed obvious flaws in this wand The main reason for that is probably the quality of the material used I'll tell you what, when this issue is settled, I will bring you down to e If there are any materials that you'd like, I can sell them to you at half price”
”Is that so…but I ht not be able to afford them even then” Link looked expectantly at Herrera
”Getting them for free is out of the question They are all my treasures”
Herrera shot a glance at Link, displaying her irritation at his attee of her kindness
Even though Herrera had not revealed her true self, she still looked extre teased
Link's heart raced and he i you in installments?”
