Grey Town
Augustine’s eyes gleamed with ambition. If I could secure these ores…He envisioned the possibilities. With proper mining and refinement, he could form an archer corps armed with Exploding Stones. Trained well, such a force could annihilate enemy soldiers with ease, breaking through ranks that even traditional cavalry or infantry could not.The thought sent a thrill through him. This discovery was not just a weapon, it was a potential game-changer in the balance of power across the kingdom.Maria entered the chamber quietly, finding her father lost in thought, his gaze fixed on the reports before him. She stepped closer and asked softly, “Father, what are you thinking about?”Augustine looked up, forcing a gentle smile.“Nothing, my dear.” He paused, then asked, “Maria, are you not training today?”Maria shook her head firmly. “No way. Today I’m going to rest. I’ll resume training tomorrow.”Her voice carried determination. Since the day she had been kidnapped, Maria had trained relen
To Raven Shore
Aaron thought for a moment before speaking. “Melina, there is a change of plans. We will head to the Riverbend Kingdom first. You all will settle there for a day or two while I deal with personal matters. Then we’ll return to Verdia Kingdom to resolve your affairs.”Melina bowed her head respectfully. “Lord Aaron, please handle your personal matters first. Mine can wait."Aaron nodded. “Alright. Let’s hire a boat.”Edrin interjected with concern. “Aaron, I don’t think any boat will be going to Raven Shore right now. It’s already the sixteenth day of the month. The boatmen won’t risk traveling, portals might appear, and the undead could attack.”Aaron smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, Edrin. The undead won’t attack anymore. Can you find someone willing to sell us a boat?”Edrin hesitated. “We can go to Venti. He might be the only one willing to give us a boat. But we’ll need to recruit a crew.”Aaron shook his head. “No need for a crew. Just a small boat will do. Do you know the way to Rav
Reason
Aaron raised his finger, and a fireball shot forth.Moria reacted instantly, shoving Alaric aside. The fireball exploded against the wall, shattering stone. Dust and debris rained down.Alaric’s composure shattered. His face twisted with terror as he looked at Moria. “G… Grandpa M… Moria… what kind of sorcery is Aaron using?"Moria had lost his composure. His wrinkled face was etched with deep worry as he muttered, “If I am not wrong… Aaron may have become the mysterious wizard. And I have a very bad feeling.”At that moment, Aaron’s voice thundered across the castle grounds, echoing for all to hear: “Duke Alaric, tell me why you captured my friends. If you cannot give me a valid reason, then from today onward I will wipe out you and your entire family from the Verdia Kingdom.”The words rang with arrogance to those listening. Both Alaric and Moria felt the sting of insult. Anger surged in Alaric’s chest, though he forced himself to remain calm.With a treacherous smile, Alaric rose.
A Fateful Encounter
After healing them both, Edrin introduced softly, “Aaron, this is my wife, Emily.”Aaron inclined his head politely. “Hello, Miss Emily.”Emily smiled warmly. “Sir Aaron, it’s good to meet you. For once, Edrin has made a good friend.”Edrin gave a hollow laugh, while Aaron simply smiled. Then his tone grew serious. “We’ll talk later. First, I want to know why they tried to capture you both.”Edrin and Emily nodded silently.At that moment, Melina stepped closer, her sword still in hand. “Lord Aaron, do you want me to force their confession?”Aaron thought briefly, then shook his head. “No need.”His gaze swept over the soldiers. “Who is your commander?”The men exchanged nervous looks, then all turned toward a figure clad in full iron armor.Aaron’s eyes narrowed. With a wave of his hand, the vines he controlled surged forward, dragging the armored man before him.Aaron studied the iron helmet, then raised his hand. With Mage Hands, he removed it effortlessly.As he did, a realization
Molard
Within the grand halls of Duke Alaric’s Castle, the Duke sat with a gloomy expression, eyes fixed on the report before him. Less than a month had passed, yet Aaron had already recruited a team of Great Knights under his command.Worse still, the report revealed that Aaron hadn’t even bothered to visit Alaric’s men, he had dismissed them without allowing them to reach the Green Fort.Alaric’s face darkened. In twenty years as Duke, never had his people been treated with such disregard. Wherever his entourage went, even Duke Theodore’s territory had shown respect. But Aaron… Aaron had humiliated him. His voice turned cold. “Grandpa Moria, summon Commander Molard.”“Yes, Master.” Moria replied respectfully.Fortunately, Commander Molard had returned to Starfall City that very day, fresh from patrolling the borders and slaying monsters along the way.Moments later, a man clad in iron armor from head to toe entered the chamber. He knelt on one knee. “Lord Alaric, please give me your order
Stella 3
Melina was stunned when she realized Stella had lived for at least a hundred thousand years. Compared to her own youth, Stella’s timeless beauty filled her with envy.Aaron, however, looked troubled. “Miss Stella, please get up. Don’t embarrass me. I have no interest in alchemy at all.”But Stella shook her head firmly. “No, Master Aaron. Unless you accept me as your apprentice, I will not rise.”Aaron sighed, conflicted. He knew the truth, alchemy was costly. Each recipe demanded vast amounts of experience points:- Tier 3 recipes: 100,000 points to learn, 400,000 to perfect.- Tier 4 recipes: 5 million points. - Tier 5 recipes: 10 million points.- Tier 6 recipes: 100 million points. - Tier 7 recipes: a staggering 1 billion points.Just thinking about it chilled him. Yet Stella was a Tier 7 powerhouse, with a hundred thousand years of knowledge. Refusing her outright might waste an opportunity.After a moment’s thought, Aaron said, “Miss Stella, I can agree. But you must not ask m
