Return to the City

Raymon stayed in Heihe Valley Academy for a week. During this time, he discussed spells with all the teachers in Heihe Valley Academy and benefited a lot.

Except for Barmer's green vine whip that he couldn't crack, the other three lecturers were weaker than Raymon in terms of spell power alone.

Through the unique spell power test in Heihe Valley Academy, Raymon gained some understanding of the intensity of spells that second-level apprentices could cast.

According to Raymon's definition of spell power in the chip, the attack power of his Ice Spear could reach 12 cards.

The teachers at Heihe Valley Academy were generally between 8 to 10 cards. Only Barmer's spell was not a purely offensive one. His green vine whip was a special composite spell.

Entanglement, binding, plus strong strangulation.

Apart from the power of binding, Barmer's green vine whip's strangulation alone reached 15 cards. Because of this special composite spell, Barmer's teacher specially obtained it for him after confirming his affinity for the wood element. Therefore, Raymon could only treat Barmer's spell power as an exception.

This visit to Heihe Valley Academy was fruitful for Raymon.

The chip's database added a lot of information about wizards. Also, when discussing spells with Heihe Valley Academy teachers, the chip collected some of the spell data they cast.

In particular, in collecting Barmer's data, the chip made a vague judgment about the energy force field that had long surrounded his body.

This energy force field only became unstable or invalid when Barmer was depleted of mana. Otherwise, it would wrap his breath in his body and not emit it.

Although the effect of this energy force field was similar to breath retention, Raymon's careful observation over the past few days showed that Barmer seemed to maintain this energy force field without consuming his mana.

Raymon did not ask Barmer directly about the energy force field monitored by the chip. Since this energy force field protected him all the time, it should also belong to a special spell.

After cramming some information about wizards for a few days, Raymon's fighting spirit became high, full of expectation for the coming new journey.

This place on the west coast belonged to the abandoned continent. Only by leaving here for places with abundant resources and many wizards could he continue his studies and become stronger.

Therefore, after spending ten days in Heihe Valley Academy, Raymon asked Barmer for help. If the Tolly family in Kaidun Port really had a conspiracy to usurp the throne, Raymon still needed Heihe Valley Academy's help to resolve it quickly and smoothly.

Barmer readily agreed to Raymon's request. For this, he even let two working teachers stop classes and followed him to Kaidun Port.

Raymon was very grateful for Barmer's vigorous support.

Originally, in Raymon's plan to deal with the Tolly family's conspiracy, he also had several options. Still, they were either too noisy, likely causing unrest in Kaidun Port, or the plans were too adventurous with a high failure rate.

Barmer's attitude toward this matter had been incomprehensible. He did not ask Raymon for details about the whole thing, not even how Raymon knew about it. He didn't care.

So on the way back to Kaidun Port, seeing Barmer's indifferent appearance, Raymon couldn't help asking.

However, Barmer just repeated the words about the code of conduct for wizards verbatim and educated Raymon before telling him to watch when he arrived.

Facing this mysterious Barmer, Raymon was speechless. Regarding the code of conduct for wizards, Raymon had heard this old man repeatedly preaching almost every day during his stay at Heihe Valley Academy.

Knowing that Barmer meant well, such repetitive indoctrination still made Raymon very bored. Since Barmer was unwilling to reveal it, Raymon simply stopped asking. At worst, he would bring out his magic tools and black mane bear to deal with it forcibly.

Having figured this out, Raymon felt good, especially seeing the black mane bear deprived of the right to ride in the carriage following behind and rushing along, panting. Raymon couldn't help laughing.

Eating and drinking well every day in the ancient castle without threats from heaven and earth, the black mane bear had gained more than one circle compared to when it first entered the ancient castle. Its fat belly was now about to sag to the ground.

With its big mouth wide open, sharp teeth exposed, the black mane bear's fur was shining, and what flowed down from its body was no longer pure sweat but a milky white viscous substance that Raymon would rather believe was fat under the black mane bear's skin.

From time to time, it roared in annoyance, frightening the horses in front and stomping their hooves. The black mane bear seemed to understand that it would never ride in the carriage, so it tirelessly frightened the livestock pulling the carriage for fun.

Although the coachman's exquisite control prevented the frightened horses from pulling the carriage into the ditch, the speed of the convoy was extraordinarily slow. The convoy that set off at dawn did not arrive at the City Lord's Mansion in Kaidun Port until midnight.

Seeing the carriage in front going straight to the City Lord's Mansion, Raymon frowned involuntarily. But Barmer got off the carriage directly without even giving Raymon a chance to ask.

Then Raymon heard Olwyn shouting loudly at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, "Open the big gates, Barmer, the dean of Heihe Valley, has arrived!"

The sonorous shout sounded even more piercing in the silent night. Hurrying to follow Barmer and get off the carriage, Raymon saw the big gate that was never opened at night slowly opening.

The guards on duty all stood respectfully on either side of the gate with their heads lowered and their right fists on their chests, showing their respect.

With a serious expression, Barmer strode straight into the City Lord's Mansion, followed closely by his assistant, Olwyn.

The two teachers from Heihe Valley Academy smiled and greeted Raymon. Then everyone swaggered in.

In the dark night, the entire City Lord's Mansion became noisy immediately upon Barmer's arrival. The head of the maintenance team on duty today happened to be Raymon's old acquaintance, Sir Heige.

Seeing Heige's inquiring gaze, the calm-faced Raymon himself didn't even know what Barmer was going to do...
