"Linley, what are you thinking about?" Hogg was rather displeased. Linley was actually distracted by his own question.
"Ah, no." Linley immediately looked at Hogg, then hurriedly nodded and said seriously,"Father, I truly do want to become a magus. In a week, arrange for me to go to the capital, Fenlai City, to participate in the magus recruitment test."”
Hearing this, Hogg began to laugh.
"Magician, oh, oh, is it that Magician who can breathe fire?”Little Wharton happily clapped his chubby little hands.
"Wharton, that's a circus! Don't confuse juggling with magic.”Hogg said solemnly.
"Oh." Little Wharton pouted, but didn't say anything.
Linley laughed, then looked at Hogg."Father, there should be quite a few magic academies, right? Which one is better? Oh right, is the Mage Academy mixed with the Warrior Academy?”
Although he knew that he would definitely enter the Ernst Institute in the future, seeing how happy his father was, he decided to ask.
"Speaking of which, the Four Great Empires and the Two Major Guild Alliances all have their own top-notch academies. You should know that of the Four Great Empires, the O'Brien Empire has the most powerful military power.”
Linley nodded. After half a year of studying, he had learned this bit of general knowledge.
"As for the most elite academy of the O'Brien Empire, the 'O'Brien Adept', it is the number one warrior academy in the entire Yulan continent. "But speaking of magus academies…" Hogg laughed."The first magus academy in the entire Yulan continent was within our Holy Union. It was named after the legendary Pope of the Radiant Church,'Ernst Intitute'.”
"The Ernst Institute is the number one magus institute on the continent. All the magi who graduate from the Ernst Institute are at least magi of the sixth rank, and there are even quite a few magi of the seventh rank! As long as a magus of the seventh rank appears in our Baruch clan, at the very least, we will have a chance of getting our clan's heirloom back.”
As Hogg spoke, he looked at Linley expectantly.
Linley could sense his father's hope.
Although Linley knew that his legacy treasure,'Slaughter,' couldn't be considered a treasure at all, and was only slightly sharper than ordinary swords and sabers, it couldn't even compare to the weakest of Demigod artifacts, much less Sovereign and Overgod artifacts. But since his cheap father wanted him to get it back, Linley naturally wouldn't go against his wishes. After all, the treasured saber 'Slaughter' was the symbol of his Baruch Dragonblood Warrior clan. It wouldn't be good for him to be wandering outside.
"Father, I will definitely bring back the legacy treasure of our clan and allow our Baruch clan to regain its glory.”Linley stood up, his eyes filled with determination as he stared at Hogg.== Happy Red Courtyard (yhy99.com)==
"Good, good, good!" Hogg laughed loudly three times before he slowly stopped laughing."Linley, a week from now, I'll have your Uncle Hillman take you to the capital, Fenlai City, to participate in the magus recruitment test.”
"Yes, Father."
Linley nodded.
"Young master Linley, I believe that you will definitely enter the best magus academy.”Housekeeper Hiri chuckled.
"The best, oh, the best." Little Wharton's hands were covered in oil, and he was still laughing and clapping his hands.
"Becoming a mage isn't that simple. I'm afraid that only one in ten thousand people has that kind of talent." The requirements to enter the Ernst Institute were even higher, and all of them had extremely high talent in magic. If Linley can become a magus, I'll be very satisfied.”
"Father, I won't let you down.”Linley spoke with absolute confidence.
Because Linley was already a magus of the second rank, and was showing signs of breaking through to the third rank.
Although Doehring Cowart knew that Linley was a genius, he hadn't imagined that Linley would be so freakish. In just half a year, he had actually gone from being completely ignorant of magic to a genuine magus of the second rank, and was even on the verge of breaking through to the third rank. Although this was partly due to his own guidance, the main reason why he had been able to achieve such gratifying results was because of Linley's own talent and the hard work he had put in during this period of time.
……
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
Linley was lying on the grass in the rear courtyard of the clan estate. Next to him, the little black Shadowmouse was hopping around Linley, squeaking nonstop, but Linley didn't care about it at all.
The little Shadowmouse rolled its eyes, then stood up, placing its forelimbs on Linley's body.
"Squeak squeak." The little Shadowmouse cried out in dissatisfaction.
Linley stroked the little Shadowmouse's head."Alright, stop fooling around. I'm leaving for the capital tomorrow. After the magic academy enrolls, I'll be going to the magic academy. I'm afraid I won't have many chances to be with you in the future.”
Linley had intentionally said these words to Bebe. He wanted to use these words to provoke Bebe, to make him take the initiative to form a contract of equals with him.
But perhaps it was the will of the heavens, but the fate between him and Bebe hadn't arrived yet. When Bebe heard his words, although he seemed reluctant to part, he showed no signs of wanting to sign a contract of equals.
Truthfully speaking, after spending nearly a month together, Linley had truly begun to like this adorable little mouse.
The next day, after lunch, in the front courtyard of the Baruch clan.
Hogg's body was as straight as a javelin, staring straight at Linley."Linley, our Wushan township is quite close to the capital, only ninety kilometers. You should be able to reach the capital before nightfall. Remember, don't cause trouble in the capital. There are too many high officials and nobles in the capital.”
"Yes, Father." Linley said respectfully.
"Hillman, I'll leave Linley to you.”Hogg looked at Hillman.
"Lord Hogg, don't worry," Hillman said with a smile.”
"Alright, you guys can set off." Hogg laughed.
"Goodbye, Father." Linley said respectfully, then smiled at little Wharton. You have to be obedient at home. Don't use the rag that has been used to wipe the chamber pot to wipe the bowls.”
Little Wharton blinked as he looked at Linley. He said reluctantly,"Goodbye, big brother."
Seeing the reluctance in little Wharton's eyes, Linley couldn't help but feel tears in his eyes. He thought of his little sister, Lin Ruo. Back when he had gone to a foreign university, the scene of parting was so similar to what it was now. After spending half a year together, Linley had truly come to view the tough and vigorous Wharton as his own little brother, a little brother who was even closer to him than his own little brother.
Linley glanced in the direction of the backyard, then said to himself,"Bebe, I'm leaving. If you still don't come out, no one will bring you food in the future.”The nearby Hillman said to Linley,"Linley, stop daydreaming. Let's go.”
"Yes, Uncle Hillman."
Linley didn't think any further. He immediately followed Uncle Hillman out of the Baruch clan estate. In any case, he knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Bebe would definitely tail him.
Squeak…on the roof of the Baruch clan's living room, Bebe was watching Linley and Hillman leave. Bebe tilted his head, his eyes filled with confusion. In his eyes, Linley should be out hunting wild rabbits. Why was he carrying a bag and leaving with someone else today?
Bebe really liked Linley.
During this past month, Bebe, who didn't have any relatives, began to treat Linley as his own.
"Sou!"
Little Bei Bei's body moved, and in an instant, she disappeared from the roof of the Baruch clan. In a few moments, she had appeared on the roof of another commoner's house, staring at Linley and Hillman. The little Shadowmouse followed Linley, and soon, they left Wushan township.
The development didn't go against Linley's expectations. Seeing that he wasn't going in the direction of Wushan, Bebe immediately began to panic. He immediately scurried to his side, biting down on his pants and refusing to let go. What happened next was no longer a mystery. The transmigrated Linley had once again returned to the original plot, and had signed a contract of equals with Bebe.
Linley could already sense that sliver of a spiritual connection between him and Bebe.
At this moment, on the quiet streets of Wushan township, Linley and Bebe were looking at each other, and at the same time, they began to converse for the first time.
"I'll call you Bebe from now on, okay?”Linley said to himself.
"Squeak squeak…"
"Bebe!"
"Squeak squeak…"
"Come, Bebe, come onto my shoulder.”Immediately, Bebe let out a cheerful cry, then immediately jumped onto Linley's shoulder.
"You subdued it?" Hillman was stunned.
Hillman had seen the world, after all. He knew that taming a magical beast was extremely difficult, but just now, Linley had actually tamed a magical beast.
Uncle Hillman was stunned."You, you don't have a soul contract scroll.”
"Alright, Uncle Hillman." Linley chuckled."Let's hurry. The capital, Fenlai City, is still quite a distance away.”As he spoke, Linley grabbed Hillman, and without any explanation, continued on their journey to the capital.
As for Bebe, he was on Linley's shoulder, squeaking excitedly.
With Bebe's cry, Linley, Hillman, and Bebe disappeared at the end of the path.
