323. St. Dillan Fire

"Kindhearted wizard?"

The leader of the Earth Vein wizards froze in place.

His face, patched together with clay, showed a bewildered expression.

Noland Lee nodded calmly and said,

"Yes, it's me... I am Ferrero, a hired wizard. The ones beside me are my companions, Kenda and Ritz."

The first few words Noland Lee spoke were directed to the Dusk Giant within the Earth Vein wizard leader.

The latter part of his sentence, however, was a conversation with the Earth Vein wizard leader himself.

Ferrero, Kenda, and Ritz were names he had created on the fly for his three "persons"...

So-called "hired wizards" were those who, after graduating from wizard students, specialized in carrying out hired tasks.

Such wizards belong to no wizard forces and generally value money over loyalty.

The Earth Vein wizard leader felt a bit strange upon hearing Noland Lee's self-introduction.
