Start with the Wizarding World

Chapter 100 Six major world groups, the real wizard world!
"So Black Knight City is actually the private property of the Black Bone Wizard?" After listening to Chevala's introduction, Rorschach roughly understood the positioning of Black Knight City.

"That's certainly true, but there is also a small portion of it that is a result of mergers and acquisitions by some wizard families." Chevara said cautiously.

"For example, the Baroque family behind you?" Rorschach guessed.

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Excellency." Chevala flattered Rorschach with a big smile on his face.

Luo Xia ignored his flattery and continued: "Okay, stop talking about these useless things and tell us about the situation around the Black Bone Domain."

"What's the situation around the Black Bone Domain?" Chevala was a little unsure what Rorschach was referring to.

"That is, whose territory is around the Black Bone Domain, and where exactly is the Black Bone Domain located?" Rorschach added further.

When Chevala heard this question, his eyeballs rolled around in the tiny slits of his eyes before he asked tentatively:

"Are you not from the Black Bone Territory?"

"If I were you, even if I guessed it, I would definitely not say it out loud." Rorschach looked at Chevala with a half-smile and said, "If I really told you everything, do you think you can still leave alive?"

Chevala was shocked by what Rorschach said!
Yes, what am I doing being so clever at this moment?

The more you know, the more dangerous it will be. The correct thing to do at a time like this would be to play dumb, but you still took the initiative to ask.

Thinking of this, he said quickly: "I was confused. Your Excellency, please forgive me and just pretend that I never asked. I'm sorry, sorry..."

Luo Xia said with a smile, "You are right. I am not from the Black Bone Territory. Do you want to guess how I got here?"

Chevala's face had turned a lot paler at this time, and he shook his head repeatedly, "I can't guess, and I don't want to know, Your Excellency, please forgive me!"

While Chevala was panicking, Rorschach had already taken out the Blood Prison Token, which looked much darker than before. He had previously checked it again with the True Prison Eyes and concluded that the token needed to be replenished with the power of Blood Prison after being used once before it could be teleported again.

This was obviously not a disposable consumable, but Rorschach had no idea how to replenish the power of the Blood Prison.

He took it out just to see if Chevala recognized it, and Chevala's reaction did not disappoint him.

But after seeing the token, Chevala's nervous expression suddenly relaxed. He took a long breath and said, "So you are from Blood Prison Island, sir. You are making fun of me. Once your identity is revealed, even Elliot will have to listen to you."

Blood Prison Island?

This was another place that Rorschach had heard of for the first time, but judging from Chevala's attitude, the place called Blood Prison Island must be very unusual.

Otherwise, Chevara would not have said it. Even Eliot, the Lord of Black Knight City and a high-level wizard apprentice, would be very wary of this identity.

However, Rorschach did not deliberately agree with what Chevala said, because if he did that, he would not be able to continue asking many questions, so he just shook his head and said, "I don't know what Blood Prison Island is. This was given to me by an elder. He only told me that after using it, I would arrive at the Blood Prison."

Chevala was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly realized, "That makes sense. No wonder you are so unfamiliar with everything here. I guess your elder is not around here now, right?"

"Gray Tower." Rorschach thought for a moment and said.

"I see. It seems that your elder cares about you so much that he is willing to give you his Blood Prison Law." Chevara said.

"Don't you doubt that I picked this up?" Rorschach asked.

"You are joking. This is the Blood Prison Decree. If it is not given by the holder himself, the Black Bone Wizard will not be able to use it even if he gets it."

When Chevala said this, his tone was full of envy. "Moreover, with this Blood Prison Order, you are qualified to travel freely to and from Blood Prison Island. There are no more than three people in the entire Black Bone Domain who have this qualification, and this includes the Black Bone Wizard. If I could have this kind of treatment..."

Chevara didn't continue talking because he knew that he had actually said something inappropriate.

But he was not as nervous as before, mainly because he suddenly discovered that Rorschach had such a background, so there was no need to worry about him leaking the secret.

Even if he went to the city lord Elliot to report Rorschach for holding him hostage, once the city lord Elliot learned that Rorschach possessed the Blood Prison Decree, the most likely reaction would be to tie him up and use him as a gift to make friends with Rorschach.

As for seizing the Blood Prison Law?
That definitely doesn't exist.

On the one hand, he couldn't use it even if he got it, and on the other hand, he had to consider whether to offend the elder who gave Rorschach the Blood Prison Decree.

Generally speaking, only two types of people can obtain the Blood Prison Decree.

They are either the powerful figures on the Blood Prison Island, or the rising stars with extremely noble identities, including but not limited to the descendants of those big figures, or some top geniuses from various Blood Prisons!
"...In short, the Blood Hell Order is like a form of identification. As long as you hold it, you can run rampant in the Blood Hells, but apart from those people who are equally powerful, only irrational lunatics dare to mess with you." Chevara summarized what he knew about the Blood Hell Order.

"So now I just need to go to the Black Bone City and I can be teleported directly to the Blood Prison Island you mentioned, right?" Rorschach asked.

"You can't teleport directly. You have to teleport to the central city of the Eighth Blood Prison first. From there you can teleport directly to the Blood Prison Island." Chevara added.

Rorschach nodded in understanding.

As Chevara explained the Blood Prison Law to him, he gradually understood the situation here.

If we radiate outward with Black Knight City as the center, the first place to be affected is naturally the Black Bone Territory. There are many areas like Black Knight City within its territory, and not all of them exist in the form of cities.

The ruler of the Black Bone Domain is the Black Bone Wizard, a two-ring Morning Star Wizard, and undoubtedly the strongest in the Black Bone Domain!
The Morning Star Wizard is the 'real wizard' in the eyes of the people of the Grey Domain!
The gap between a high-level wizard apprentice and a Morning Star wizard is difficult to estimate, so it is naturally extremely difficult to be promoted from a high-level wizard apprentice to a Morning Star wizard. It is much more difficult than going all the way from an ordinary person to a high-level wizard apprentice. This is why the number of wizards is so scarce.

But everything has two sides. It is difficult, but once you succeed in getting promoted, it can be said that your life form is completely different from before.

For the Morning Star Wizard, the difference between high-level wizard apprentices and ordinary people is not that big. They are all insects and ants that can be killed with a snap of the fingers.

Of course, there are definitely differences between wizards.

There is not only one Morning Star Wizard named Black Bone Wizard in the Black Bone Domain, but he is the only two-ring Morning Star Wizard. The others are all one-ring Morning Star Wizards. For example, the wizard born in the Baroque family to which Chevara belongs is also a first-ring Morning Star Wizard.

Although the Black Bone Wizard is incredibly powerful, he is only limited to the Black Bone Domain. Looking at the Eighth Blood Prison where the Black Bone Domain is located, he is not top-notch.

After all, above the two-ring Morning Star Wizard, there is the three-ring Morning Star Wizard, and those three-ring Morning Star Wizards can really walk sideways in the Eighth Blood Prison!
However, according to what Chevara said, the Morning Star Wizard is not the end of wizards, and there are still more incredible and great existences above him.

But those great beings were not something Chevara could know.

The strongest person he had ever seen in his life was the Black Bone Wizard, and he had only seen him from a distance. With his strength and status, he was not even qualified to have close contact with the Black Bone Wizard.

As for Blood Hell Island, its status is like a holy place of Blood Hell.

Including the Eighth Blood Prison where the Black Bone Domain is located, there are a total of eighteen blood prisons covered by the Boundless Blood Prison. The Blood Prison Island is not just one of these eighteen blood prisons; its existence is higher than all the blood prisons!
If I have to describe it, it's more like the Eighteen Blood Prisons jointly guarding the Blood Prison Island!

The ones in the Eighteen Blood Prisons are there!
What the Eighteen Blood Prisons don’t have can also be found there!
Chevala's previous envy was not fake.

If he could go to Blood Prison Island, the opportunities and resources he could obtain would definitely be more than a hundred times more than staying in the Black Bone Domain!

If that were the case, he would have already broken through to the mid-level or even high-level wizard apprentice, and there would be no need to deceive himself by running to Black Knight City to show off.

"Sir, can you take me to Blood Prison Island once?" After explaining everything to Rorschach, Chevala asked carefully, "I know my request may be a bit excessive, but I believe that with my alchemical talent, as long as I can make further progress, I can definitely bring you satisfactory benefits."

"Can I still lead people?" Rorschach was a little surprised.

"Of course, as the holder of the Blood Prison Decree, it is normal for you to teleport with some followers." Chevara said.

"Is there no quota?" Rorschach asked.

"There is no such thing." Chevala shook his head and said, "Although the Blood Prison Island is called an island, it is definitely much larger than any other blood prison. The reason why people are not allowed to enter and exit freely is because it is a holy place covered by the boundless blood prison. After all, there needs to be some threshold."

Rorschach understood immediately.

To put it simply, the reason why Blood Prison Island has a threshold is not because they are afraid that too many people will enter and there won’t be enough space, but simply because dragons don’t live with snakes.

It can be seen from the style of painting in Black Knight City that even wizard apprentices like Chevala are a group that cares very much about their reputation. If the people they are riding give way to ordinary people, they will feel humiliated.

This can also be seen from Jack, the mid-level wizard apprentice, proving that this is not just a situation in the Black Bone Domain.

If this is the case for wizard apprentices, what about real wizards?

As the real core holy place shrouded in the boundless blood prison, it would be strange if the Blood Prison Island did not even have a threshold for entry and exit.

Rorschach: "I think you are quite smart. How about this? You can be my follower for a while. If you perform well, I can consider taking you with me when I go to Blood Prison Island. But if you don't perform well..."

Although Rorschach's words sounded like an empty promise, Chevala was delighted when he heard it: "Don't worry, just watch my performance!"

"Then I'll wait and see." Rorschach smiled.

He agreed to Chevala's request not out of weakness.

First of all, he was a newcomer and was unfamiliar with the place. If he had Chevala as a guide, it would definitely save him a lot of trouble.

After all, even the True Prison Eyes hinted that Chevalar knew a lot of things and was worth exploiting, so he must be well-informed among wizard apprentices.

It is definitely not a loss to get a spot that does not cost anything in exchange for a temporary reliable guide.

And don't forget, Chevala also possesses the alchemical talent that was evaluated by Zhenyuzhitong as an alchemical genius, which is enough to show how extraordinary he is.

If Rorschach remembered correctly, the mid-level wizard apprentice Jack he had met at that time also mastered a skill called "Guro Alchemy", and the longevity potion used to trade with the Lanis family must have come from his hand.

As a mid-level wizard apprentice, Jack's alchemy skill is only Lv.1, but Chevala's alchemy skill level is Lv.3!

Assuming that the concepts of alchemy and alchemy skills are the same, the gap between the two can be said to be a world of difference.

Besides, this is not just Rorschach's blind guess.

According to Chevara, he did not dare to reveal his alchemical talent even within his own family, for fear that his clan members would become jealous and frame him. This was of course because his strength was indeed insufficient.

If he were a high-level wizard apprentice, he certainly wouldn't have to worry so much.

But this also indirectly confirms that his true alchemy level is definitely far beyond the level that a junior wizard apprentice should have. Otherwise, if he is only slightly stronger than others of the same level, he would not have to pretend at all.

All signs indicate that this guy is a little-known alchemy genius. It would be a sure win if we could tame him.

Rorschach had this in mind, so he decided to observe first. Even if it failed in the end, he would not lose anything.

……

outside the house.

Zaharie was waiting anxiously because he was not sure what was going on inside, nor was he sure whether Rorschach would anger his former master.

By bringing Rorschach here, he was undoubtedly risking his life.

Because once his former master gets angry, he won't care whether he has anything to do with him or not, and will definitely bury him with him.

There's nothing we can do about it, this is the fate of riding a horse.

If you anger these noble wizard apprentices, except for those who already have masters riding on them, the rest will be killed.

"Why hasn't he come out yet? Did something really happen..." Zaharie was so anxious that he almost rushed in to take a look.

The other servants and riders around were looking at Zaharie with gloating eyes.

If Chevara hadn't ordered them not to move, they would have probably laughed at Zaharie for seeking his own death.

Just when Zaharie was getting anxious, the door to the inner room suddenly opened, and Rorschach and Chevara came out one after another.

What shocked everyone was that it was Rorschach who was walking in front, and Chevala actually took a half step behind, just like a follower!
They originally thought it was just a coincidence, but Chevala's next words made everyone present think they were hallucinating:

"Listen carefully, Master Rorschach was just joking with me before. His true identity is far more noble than mine. Even if you disrespect me, you will not be punished with death. But if anyone dares to disrespect Master Rorschach in the future, I promise to make your whole family wish you were dead!"

"Do you understand?!"

"Yes!!"

Everyone in the room knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the ground!
Although they didn't understand why Zahari, who was riding on his friend, had clearly gone in to offer treasures, he turned around and became a more noble person than the host?
But since the master said so, they naturally wouldn't doubt it.

Obviously, this Lord Rorschach is also a noble wizard apprentice!

It couldn't be ridden by some lowly person.

As for why he came with Zaharie, it must be that he borrowed the name of this unlucky guy to play a joke on the host.

What goes on between these noble wizard apprentices is beyond the understanding of these lowly guys, so it's normal that they can't figure it out.

The person who has the most complicated feelings at this moment is undoubtedly Zaharie.

It would be fine if other people didn't know Rorschach, but he had been with Rorschach for more than a week, and they were together almost every day.

He never thought that Rorschach would be a noble wizard apprentice.

Because in his understanding, those wizard apprentices have always been superior, and they are not even of the same species as them.

How could a noble wizard apprentice be friends with a human rider?
This is like saying that humans and livestock can be friends. They are not even the same species, so how can they be friends?
Even the Lord Augustus he mentioned was only able to gain the attention of the city lord Elliot because he became the Black Bone Wizard's human rider, but that was just another manifestation of "beating the dog by looking at its owner".

Therefore, Zaharie never thought that he could become friends with a real wizard's apprentice, which was far more incredible than his dreams.

Even though Chevalar had revealed Rorschach's identity at this time, that he was not just some human being but a wizard's apprentice, Zaharie was not thinking about the fact that he actually had a wizard's apprentice as a friend, but that this relationship seemed to have come to an end.

In his eyes, since Rorschach was a wizard's apprentice, everything that happened before must have been just a game.

Being on good terms with him is just part of the game.

There was no way he would take it seriously.

As expected, he soon heard Chevala say, "Zahari, since you brought Lord Rorschach to see me, your previous offense against me will be written off."

"Thank you, sir!" Zahari bowed and thanked him.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. You should thank Master Rorschach." Chevala said proudly, "Master Rorschach is kind and willing to give you a chance to serve us again. From now on, you will be responsible for serving Master Rorschach closely. If you do a good job, you will definitely get some benefits."

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Rorschach, and thank you, Lord Chevala!" When Zahari heard this, his original depression was instantly swept away and he thanked them.

When the other people in the room heard this, they looked at Zaharie with envy, wishing that this opportunity could be theirs.

What an honor it is to be ridden by a wizard apprentice who is more noble than Chevala?

"Okay, everyone, disperse. Lord Rorschach and I still have some time to reminisce about the past. You guys have nothing to do here." Chevala waved his hand casually.

"Yes!"

Everyone in the room dispersed and went about their own business.

Even if there was nothing to do, he would still run to the door and wait far away so as not to disturb the communication between the two noble wizard apprentices.

After the servants and riders had left, Rorschach frowned slightly and said to Chevala, "Didn't I tell you I was going to take him away from here? When did I tell you I wanted him to be my rider?"

"No, sir. This is Black Knight City. If you treat him specially here, you will harm him instead. This is not in line with the rules of Black Knight City." Chevala explained, "Black Knight City is the private property of Black Bone Wizard after all. Some rules cannot be trampled. Even if you are the holder of Blood Prison Law, it will still be very troublesome if you offend Black Bone Wizard."

When Rorschach heard this, he immediately understood what Chevala meant.

The reason why Black Knight City is special is that it is completely isolated from the outside world, which is why it can "breed" so many qualified human riders.

If someone breaks the rules here without permission, they can basically be regarded as someone who comes to cause trouble.

By then, even if Rorschach is the holder of the Blood Prison Decree, he will definitely not have an easy time. The Black Bone Wizard is a second-ring Morning Star Wizard and one of the lords of the Eighth Blood Prison. He may not care about ordinary backgrounds.

Rorschach is not a fool, so he would not be confused.

Chevala's reminder was very timely, so he just nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder. You are very thoughtful." "You are too kind. This is what I should do." Chevala couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Rorschach was not willful.

He was afraid that Rorschach had the temper of a spoiled brat. He didn't care about the rules or anything like that. He would just do what he wanted.

What should he do then?
If I continue to follow Rorschach, I'm afraid of angering the Black Bone Wizard and getting into trouble. If I don't follow Rorschach, it means I'm giving up the opportunity to go to Blood Prison Island.

Fortunately, things didn't develop in that direction, so he didn't have to worry about it.

And so, the two continued to communicate for a while.

It was called communication, but in fact it was basically just Rorschach asking questions and Chevala answering them, and Chevala didn't think it was troublesome.

Because he knew that Rorschach was a newcomer and it was normal for him to have no common sense.

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't be the turn of a junior wizard apprentice like him to curry favor with him. I'm afraid there would be many mid- and high-level wizard apprentices willing to flatter him.

After all, licking Rorschach means having the qualification to enter Blood Prison Island. Ordinary wizard apprentices don't have such an opportunity.

If they want to lick the Morning Star Wizards who can bring people into the Blood Hell Island, they have to be favored by them.

It is worth mentioning that during the communication, Chevara also expressed his curiosity about the Gray Tower.

"Haven't you been to the Gray Tower?" Rorschach asked.

"Sir, please don't joke with me. I'm just a junior wizard apprentice. What can I take to another world?" Chevala was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

"World group?" This time it was Rorschach's turn to be stunned.

"Don't you know, sir?" Chevala immediately realized that Rorschach didn't seem to understand the concept of world groups very well.

Rorschach pondered, "Aren't the Blood Prison and the Gray Tower part of the wizarding world?"

"Your Excellency, there is nothing wrong with what you said. Both are indeed part of the wizarding world. However, the wizarding world is an extremely broad concept. It is actually composed of six major world groups." Chevara said patiently.

"Oh?"

"The Boundless Blood Prison, the Endless Abyss, the Sky-reaching Gray Tower, the Vast Sea of ​​Stars, the Ark of the Universe, and the Temple of Truth... these six 'Eternal Realm Artifacts' are the true foundation of the wizard world, and the so-called six world groups exist around these six 'Eternal Realm Artifacts'."

At this point, Chevala quickly added, "Please don't ask me what the 'Eternal Realm Artifact' is. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really don't understand it. I only heard about what the elders in my family said just now. It is said that it is the knowledge passed down by our ancestor, the Morning Star Wizard."

Rorschach nodded to show that he understood, and said, "So we are now in the group of worlds surrounding the Endless Blood Prison?"

Chevala: "Yes, our world group is composed of a total of eighteen worlds, which are the so-called Eighteen Blood Prisons, and the Black Bone Realm is located in the eighth Blood Prison."

Rorschach: "Eighteen worlds... Doesn't Blood Prison Island count?"

Chevala: "It probably doesn't count. I don't know the specific reason, but that's what I heard."

Rorschach nodded again to show that he understood.

He now finally had a relatively complete understanding of the so-called 'wizard world', and understood why Zeus was a Blood Prison Wizard, and the 'Star Throne' who controlled the replacement of the Blue Water Star was a Star Sea Wizard.

If he understood correctly, what kind of wizard one becomes depends mainly on what the goal is that one visualizes during the period of wizard apprenticeship.

There are two types of meditation techniques that he currently knows of, namely the Blood Prison Meditation Technique and the Gray Tower Meditation Technique.

The biggest difference between the two is that one is visualizing an endless blood prison, while the other is visualizing a sky-high gray tower.

In fact, he had thought about what these two things were.

With what he had seen and heard at the time, he could barely guess whether the Towering Grey Tower was related to the 360 ​​Grey Trial Towers including the Grey Domain, but he had absolutely no idea what the Boundless Blood Prison was.

But now after hearing what Chevala said, he finally realized that the targets of different meditation techniques were different 'Eternal Realm Vessels'!
Moreover, there are a total of six "Eternal Realm Artifacts" like this!

The mastermind behind the replacement, 'Star Throne', was obviously visualizing the vast sea of ​​stars, one of the six 'Eternal Realm Artifacts'.

Of course, understanding this does not change anything. He is still the replacer, and Shuilanxing is still the other party's test subject.

But at least I know some truth. Even if I die, I won't be a confused ghost.

As for himself, he changed his visualization target from Blood Hell to Purgatory without thinking, which now seems to be a very bold move.

Whether this will have any impact on the future remains a mystery.

He can only take one step at a time.

After the two chatted for a few more words, Chevala asked tentatively, "Are you in a hurry to leave, sir, or does it matter if you stay here for a while?"

"What's the difference?" Rorschach asked.

"If you're in a hurry to leave, it might be dangerous for the two of us. Although the journey from Black Knight City to Black Bone City is not particularly far, it still takes at least half a month, and that's without stopping along the way."

Chevala knew that Rorschach didn't know this, so he explained it in great detail. "Every six months, a team led by high-level wizard apprentices travels back and forth between Black Knight City and Black Bone City. The last time I came here, I followed the large group, so it was basically not my turn to take action along the way."

"What level of danger is it?" Rorschach asked thoughtfully.

"In most cases, mid-level wizard apprentices should be able to handle it. In rare cases, only high-level wizard apprentices can handle it. But if you are really, really unlucky, even a Morning Star Wizard may not be absolutely safe." Chevara thought for a moment and described it to Rorschach.

"So when is the next time a team sets out?" Rorschach asked again.

"Let me calculate...it should be about three months." Chevara said after thinking for a while.

"Then let's wait a little longer. A few days won't make a difference," said Rorschach.

"Okay!" Chevara agreed happily.

If Rorschach really wanted to leave now, he would of course follow him, after all, wealth and honor are both dangerous.

It's worth taking some risks to get to Blood Prison Island.

Besides, he is not a pushover. Even though he is just a junior wizard apprentice, his alchemy level is there.

If he had not been ambushed by Rorschach at close range before, and if he had been really prepared, Rorschach might not have been able to defeat him so easily.

As an alchemical genius, he knew how to hide his weaknesses, which led to more than one mid-level wizard apprentice falling into his hands.

Therefore, as long as he was not particularly unlucky, he was confident that he could reach the Black Bone City safely.

But of course it would be better if it could be more secure.

After finalizing the departure arrangements with Chevara, Rorschach found Zaharie at the door.

"Greetings, Master Rorschach!"

As soon as Zaharie saw Rorschach, he lowered his head.

"Is it necessary to be so distant with me, Brother Zaharie?" Rorschach smiled helplessly.

"Sir, please don't scare me. I really didn't know you were a wizard apprentice before..." Zahari's forehead was covered with sweat.

When he thought about the fact that he and Rorschach were actually close friends, he was terrified.

When Rorschach was chatting with Chevalar inside, he was outside thinking about these things, fearing that Rorschach would come back to settle the score with him.

So Rorschach's attitude at this moment not only did not make him feel at ease, but made him even more frightened!

"Whether you believe it or not, you are my friend." Rorschach pondered, "You bought me a drink, and I will give you your freedom. How about that?"

Zahari also realized at this time that Rorschach did not seem to want to retaliate against him, but he still did not dare to cross the line and only whispered:

"My Lord, I am free now."

When Luo Xia saw him like this, he immediately remembered the incomprehensible conversation between the two of them before, so he had to change the way he said: "Let's not talk about freedom for now. Do you want to leave here and go out and take a look?"

"Is it really possible?" Zaharie asked excitedly.

Then he remembered that Rorschach was no longer his buddy, so he immediately lowered his head and asked again in a low voice: "Is this really possible?"

"Since I asked you, of course you can." Rorschach nodded and confirmed, "But, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to come back after you leave. What about your mother?"

"This..." Zaharie was stunned.

Apparently he hadn't thought about this before.

Although he had always wanted to become a true superior rider, it was only a dream after all, and he had never thought that he would actually be chosen to leave here.

It was not until now that Rorschach gave him a choice that the dream became a reality.

"Come on, I'll go home with you." Rorschach suddenly said.

"grown ups……"

Zahari was about to refuse when Rorschach interrupted him, "This is an order. Are you trying to disobey my order now, Zahari?"

"Don't dare!"

Zaharie said quickly.

In this way, the two of them quickly returned to Zaharie's house from Chevarana.

"Are you two back? What do you want to eat tonight? I'll prepare it for you." Zaharie's mother, Mrs. Molly, asked with a smile when she heard the door open.

"Just eat something casually. No need to prepare too much, Aunt Molly." Rorschach said with a smile.

"Rorschach, you are a sensible child. Unlike this idiot, he is always afraid of tiring me to death." Mrs. Molly glared at Zaharie and said.

Zahari didn't care about that at this time, and hurried to his mother's ear and whispered a few words. After listening, Mrs. Molly was about to greet Rorschach, but was stopped by Rorschach:

"Don't be so formal, Aunt Molly. I'm still me."

"Then I will dare to be the aunt of the wizard apprentice." Mrs. Molly smiled again on her wrinkled face.

"Mother..." Zaharie looked at his mother in disbelief. He didn't expect that his mother, who usually looked amiable, could be so bold. She even dared to call him aunt after knowing that Rorschach was a wizard's apprentice.

"You still have a lot to learn. Remember to listen to Rorschach in the future, okay?" Mrs. Molly shook her head and smiled.

"Do you agree that I leave?" Zaharie had a complicated expression.

He was afraid that his mother would not agree, but at the same time he couldn't bear to see her agree. This mentality was too complicated.

"Why don't you agree? Isn't this your dream?" Mrs. Molly asked curiously.

"But what will you do if I leave?" Zaharie asked.

"Can't you live without me? I have to take care of you when you are at home, but I am happy to have free time when you are not around." Mrs. Molly laughed, "Besides, there is old White. I was afraid that you would disagree, so I didn't tell you that we have been together for a long time."

"Okay, I said there was something wrong with this old guy. He always talks to me in a tone of teaching a junior. Turns out he wants to be my dad?!" Zaharie was furious when he heard this.

Even Rorschach was a little amused, because the old White that Mrs. Molly was talking about was the stall owner he met on his first day.

At that time, the other party asked Zaharie to order cheaper wine, and Rorschach felt that this boss was indeed a conscientious businessman.

Now it seems that he is disciplining Zaharie on behalf of Mrs. Molly.

"Don't be so impatient. Go buy some food for me and bring back some wine from old White. Remember to get the most expensive one." Mrs. Molly said with a smile.

"It has to be the most expensive one. This old guy wants to steal from my house, so I have to rip him off!" Zaharie said viciously.

After saying that, he said hello to Rorschach and went out.

After Zaharie left, Rorschach said to Mrs. Molly, "I can see that he is actually very happy that you have found your other half, Auntie."

"I know he has always been a sensible child." Mrs. Molly smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Don't you blame me?" Rorschach asked again.

"No, I want to thank you." Mrs. Molly looked at Rorschach seriously and said, "I have always been worried about his future. This child is good in every way except that he is a little stupid. I am worried that he will make mistakes after I leave. If he makes an adult unhappy, he will lose his life."

"But now that he's gone, it may be difficult for me to see you again." Rorschach mused.

"What does it matter? I won't live for many more years. I can't just ignore my son's life or death just because I miss him a little bit, right?"

Mrs. Molly shook her head and smiled, "As long as he can live well, it is more important than anything else. Rorschach, you can take him away from this damn place. It is a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes. I can't wait to be happy for him."

Mrs. Molly's words surprised Rorschach a little.

Because Mrs. Molly described Black Knight City as "this damn place", it was obvious that she realized that something was wrong here.

In addition, Mrs. Molly's attitude towards him was obviously somewhat different from Zaharie's, which made him realize that Mrs. Molly might have noticed something.

"When did you realize something was wrong here?" Rorschach asked.

"It's been a while... In fact, it's not just me. Many older guys have realized it, such as old White." Mrs. Molly said.

"Then why don't you have a good talk with Zaharie about this?" Rorschach was a little puzzled.

"After talking to him, what happened next?" Mrs. Molly said with a wry smile, "Knowing too much is actually painful for him, especially when he is powerless to change anything. It may even lead to his own death. I don't expect him to become a hero. I just want him to live well."

"I admire your wisdom," Rorschach said.

"I am an old lady, how can I be so wise? Rorschach, please stop teasing me." Mrs. Molly said with a smile, "Anyway, I'll leave Zahari in your care from now on. I can see that you are a good boy. As long as you can keep him alive, you can beat him or scold him as you like."

"He treats me sincerely, so I won't treat him unfairly." Luo Xia nodded slightly, "Auntie, how about I think of a way to take you away from here as well? It might be a little troublesome..."

"Thank you, auntie, but there's no need for that." Mrs. Molly shook her head. "Leaving here will not mean happiness for me. I have all my life's memories here, and old White and I have agreed to spend the rest of our lives together. I can't bear to leave him here alone, hahahaha."

Rorschach couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Communicating with Mrs. Molly made him feel very comfortable, as if he was talking to a wise elder.

Zaharie, a big fool, is lucky to have such a wise mother.

Just like that, under Mrs. Molly's firm attitude, it was confirmed that Zaharie would follow Rorschach to leave Black Knight City.

The next step is to wait for the next large force to arrive.

During this period, Rorschach was not idle either. He made progress both as a Purgatory Knight and a wizard apprentice.

When the next replacement reminder came, Rorschach's Purgatory Meditation had already reached Lv.4, officially entering the middle-level wizard apprentice!
As for the Purgatory Knight, he is only a little bit away from reaching Lv.5.

"It's time to go home and have a look—"

He closed his eyes and waited for Rorschach to arrive, thinking deeply.
