Waiting

The dust settled, and the power of the port of Kaidun changed hands overnight.

Sai Qi, the younger son of the Toli family, was pushed into the position of acting city lord. With the help of his sister Wen Lan Mao, he exercised the power of acting city lord. In the future, he would be the highest ruler of the Toli family.

The old city lord Amisa, who was bedridden, was in a state of life-ending irreversibility. He could only take more life-sustaining potions to allow him to live longer.

Because the prefect of the Ogaso Kingdom appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, and the pseudo-device was still in Hai Wensen's hands, the stern letter issued in the name of Heihe Valley Academy was immediately sent to the Ogaso royal court.

At the same time, the Wizard Association on the west coast would soon issue the highest level wanted order for Hai Wensen. Waiting for him would be endless pursuit.

With a regretful expression on his face, Dean Barmer, who predicted Hai Wensen's future, felt very heavy: "Little Hai Wensen has no future. He either has to hide his identity in remote places rarely visited by people or board a sea ship to leave the territory of the west coast. For ordinary people wanted by wizard organizations, suicide before capture may be a good choice."

Somewhat sadly, Dean Barmer, who had experienced the noise in the City Lord's Mansion last night, also became somewhat depressed and tired. The sense of vicissitudes belonging to the elderly made Raymon feel uncomfortable.

Regarding the sudden change in the City Lord's Mansion, cleaning up the mess was Wen Lan Mao and Little Sai Qi's job. But with the open and aboveboard support of Heihe Valley and the old city lord Amisa's standing up, restoring calm in the City Lord's Mansion was just a matter of time.

With Dean Barmer stationed in the City Lord's Mansion, it made no sense for Raymon to stay. Besides, he was not interested in these things. So after bidding farewell to the extremely grateful Wen Lan Mao, he returned to the old castle with the black bear.

After last night's first battle, Raymon had an intuitive judgment about his own strength.

Weak strength, insufficient experience in battle, lack of ability to respond to emergencies.

Although he succeeded in forcing the Heihe Valley crowd, who had the intention to retreat, to attack a grand knight with his little tricks, Raymon broke out in a cold sweat and felt scared thinking about it afterward.

At the speed that grand knights with such strength could unfold, Raymon could absolutely not withstand it.

After returning to the old castle, Raymon replayed the scenes recorded by the chip and found that the agile grand knight, with over 16 points, had almost three times his speed. It only took two seconds to cover a dozen meters.

If Hai Wensen did not want to truly turn against the Heihe Valley crowd last night, the Grand Knight Smaier would have had plenty of time to kill everyone in the hall before the black bear arrived.

Whether it was Dean Barmer's green vines or auxiliary white frost, even the real device Raymon possessed, all needed at least one second to activate.

Raymon, with red dots flashing in his pupils, sat in his lounge chair smoking handmade cigars. The curling smoke shrouded his body. He was carefully watching the scenes that happened last night.

Under the analysis and summary of the chip and himself, Raymon clearly understood his shortcomings and gained insight into the areas he needed to strengthen and improve. Such analysis and summary benefited Raymon greatly.

The three basic values of the body would increase slowly during meditation as Raymon absorbed the stray energy particles into his body. At the same time, his physical strength and personal genes were slowly changing.

At the age of only fifteen, Raymon already had a physique close to that of an adult. But the slowly growing strength, agility, and endurance did not seem to be able to increase rapidly through long-term meditation.

Thinking of Dean Barmer's explanation of physical fitness, Raymon frowned and sighed. It was said that some magical potions could quickly improve one's physique, but without exception, such potions would harm the body. Indiscriminate use could even burst one's body.

Such experience had lasted for who knows how long in the wizarding world. Wizards reached authoritative conclusions only after long research and summary, which could stand scrutiny and the passage of time. So Raymon could only continue his meditation honestly and slowly increase his strength.

In the two months before departure, after the City Lord's Mansion settled down, Miss Wen Lan Mao brought her brother Little Sai Qi to visit Raymon at the old castle several times, but they were all blocked by the loyal black bear.

Regarding Wen Lan Mao, who came with gratitude and wanted to fulfill her promise to offer her body, Raymon expressed in a tactful way that he did not have such a need. In return, Raymon received some supplies needed by wizards from Wen Lan Mao in the City Lord's Mansion.

Raymon was a little wary of this beautiful, astute, and very capable beautiful girl. Although this voluptuous beauty was easy to obtain, she was not as lovely and obedient as Raymon's personal maid, Omiri. So Raymon decided to give up on her, unwilling to let his lower body dominate his brain.

With plans for the future, Raymon no longer cared about everything outside. He immersed himself entirely in increasing his strength through meditation. Occasionally, he would go down to the basement to find the humanoid shadow Helheim when encountering some incomprehensible problems.

In any case, Helheim was once a third-level wizard apprentice. Although her memory had some gaps and her thinking mode was a bit abnormal after so many years, Helheim, who had received systematic education, was an excellent teacher.

Helheim was very satisfied with Raymon's way of resolving disputes within the Toli family because no descendant of the Toli family died as a result, and the family's territory did not erupt into large-scale wars—the best situation.

Little Sai Qi, who grew up to thirteen, would become a qualified city lord in a few years with the help of his sister Wen Lan Mao. As long as the Toli family's bloodline did not end, Raymon had also fulfilled his promise to the humanoid shadow Helheim.

At the same time, Raymon, who was about to depart, was fully prepared for his departure.

Several bears of the right age were sent to the old castle so that the black bear, who only obeyed his command, could stay in Kaidun Port with peace of mind. At the same time, to give his personal maid Omiri the ability to protect herself, Raymon also agreed with the black bear on some simple gestures to allow it to become Omiri's guardian after Raymon left.

After arranging everything, Raymon, without worries, stayed in the darkroom of the old castle for meditation, waiting for the day he would leave.
