Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Chapter 995: Chapter 350: Winterfort Academy (Double-Length Chapter)

At this time, not far away in a nearby tent, Merita, being a wizard with sharp senses, vaguely heard some kind of woman’s voice coming from outside.

This made her rub her eyes and get up to listen. Soon, she determined the direction, and at the same time, her fair face turned red.

Although she’s never eaten pork, she’s at least seen pigs run.

What kind of sound is this, Merita naturally figured it out.

“Tch, this is really too loud… Seriously… Lord Rein is so careless about the impact.”

“Huh, but Miss Anna is right next to me, isn’t she?” Merita glanced at Anna, who was sweetly sleeping due to drink, and felt quite surprised.

“If it’s not Miss Anna, then who could it be?” Merita frowned.

“Could it be that barbarian girl? Seems her name is Lagaray?”

“Well, barbarians do have an open culture indeed.”

This gossip-loving Merita instantly perked up.

She just planned to sneak out to listen, but realized that with Rein’s strength, she might be discovered just by getting close, which would be awkward.

After thinking about it, Merita could only open a small gap in her tent and listen as intently as possible….

(Ten thousand words omitted here…)

After three fierce battles, Rein smiled at Lagaray lying in the crook of his arm.

The barbarian girl in her sleep had a relaxed and serene expression, her large, fair beauty on her chest revealed in front of Rein, and her blonde hair was damp with sweat, dangling in disarray.

Her exquisite face and wild aura blended perfectly, possessing a special charm.

Thinking of the intense battle just earlier, a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of Rein’s mouth.

…

The sky was just starting to lighten.

“Oh no! I forgot to go back.” Lagaray suddenly opened her eyes, quickly got up, and started putting on her clothes.

Rein, of course, was also awakened by Lagaray’s movements.

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Lagaray glanced around and then hurriedly ran out of Rein’s tent.

But as luck would have it, someone came out of the opposite tent as well, and Lagaray immediately turned around, also slowing her steps.

“Huh? Lagaray, you’re up early, are you here to see Rein?” Just waking up and drowsy-eyed, Anna saw Lagaray suddenly appear nearby and asked.

“Ah… morning! Anna, yes.” Lagaray blushed but pretended to greet Anna casually.

“As expected, innocent Miss Anna…tsk tsk… you don’t even know how wild this barbarian girl was last night.” Watching this scene, Merita couldn’t help but shake her head in her mind.

After a while, Anna returned to her tent.

At this point, Anna noticed Merita’s somewhat haggard face and couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Merita, why are your dark circles so heavy? Didn’t you sleep well? I remember last night you rested early with me.”

“Ah? Yeah. Is it that obvious?” Merita absentmindedly replied before immediately casting an Ice Crystal Technique to use as a mirror to check.

“Oh my gosh… it’s really noticeable.” Looking at herself in the ice mirror, Merita’s expression was quite dejected.

“Didn’t sleep well last night?”

“Yes… recently having insomnia and many dreams…”

“Don’t worry, don’t fret about the academy, Rein will handle it for you.” Anna seemed to have thought of something, suddenly understanding.

She thought Merita was worried about Winterfort Academy’s safety.

“Uh… mm!” Merita had a mixed feeling of crying and laughing about Anna’s consolation.

Actually, it’s Lord Rein who gave me the dark circles… Merita thought to herself.

…

After breakfast, at the center of the Norton Tribe’s migration team.

Led by High Priest Rom and Clan Leader Dalius, a group of barbarian elites were bidding farewell to Rein.

“Lord Rein, we wish you a smooth journey.”

“By the way, this is a small token of gratitude we have prepared.” High Priest Rom handed a black bag to Rein from a tray held by a barbarian girl beside him.

“Inside the bag are Soul Energy Crystals, the spoils of war from many battles with the Black Flame Cult, which they used to hire several powerful Wandering Wizards.”

“This… is too precious. Your Eminence, you’re too kind.” Rein was stunned to hear this and waved his hand, refusing.

The Norton Tribe had suffered significant casualties and was in desperate need of resources, making these Soul Energy Crystals immensely valuable to them.

“Lord Rein, please accept it. The entire Norton Tribe, I no longer need to use it, and almost no one else can use it either.” High Priest Rom pointed to the burly figures of barbarian warriors who clearly followed the path of strength, standing nearby.

“This….” Rein frowned slightly, knowing the truth in his heart.

“Let’s do this, I’ll accept the Soul Energy Crystals, but I also have a return gift that you must accept.”

After thinking, Rein took the black bag containing the Soul Energy Crystals and retrieved a Radiant Bar he had exchanged from the Sword Bearers Branch from Blood Feather’s belongings, handing it to High Priest Rom.

“This is a Radiant Bar, according to… ”

“High-purity Holy Stone!!” Clan Leader Dalius exclaimed before Rein could explain.

“Yes, according to your terms, it’s a Holy Stone. Blend it into a weapon to craft a Radiant Stone weapon, which is quite effective against some wicked creatures,” Rein said with a smile.

Dalius and Rom exchanged a glance, smiling bitterly, “This… well! Honestly, Lord Rein, this is an irresistible gift for the Norton Tribe.”
