Chapter 230: Chapter 222: Parting and Departure
Viscount Raya’s domain, Raya City.
At the city gates, Lis was saying farewell to a group of people.
“Lord Lis, I wish you a smooth journey.”
This was Roque, the manager of the Feis caravan.
“Roque, when you return to Bright City, just go directly to the White Dove Chamber of Commerce and find Mora with the letter I gave you,” Lis instructed, nodding his head.
Roque also bowed respectfully, his demeanor more reverent than before.
...
He was well aware that since he was preparing to join the service of this noble, he needed to have the proper resolve and maintain his place.
“Oh, and remember to deliver the other letters for me,” Lis suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded Roque.
These were the letters Lis had taken the time to write to Taya and Risa; he wondered if the two girls in Bright City missed him.
There was nothing mushy in them, just a simple update on his well-being, and he casually shared some of his travel experiences.
Lis did find himself missing the time spent in Bright City, especially after learning about the strength of his own powerhouse, Joyce, which meant he felt no pressure facing any situation knowing that he had such a powerful backer.
But Lis knew that it was not sustainable to always rely on others, so even though his relationship with Taya and Risa had just made a breakthrough, he still resolutely left Bright City in search of new progress.
The production of magic communication tools was still quite limited, and the kingdom could only distribute them to particularly important locations, but next time he returned to Bright City he could try to get a few more from his teacher.
Cress and Liz, standing by his side, also bowed respectfully to Lis, saying with gratitude:
“Lord Lis, thank you for your assistance.”
Cress and Liz knew very well that without Lis, they wouldn’t have been able to resist the men that Viscount Kuka’s men had chased all the way to the caravan, surely possessing a method to locate them.
“It’s nothing, I was just fulfilling my promise,” Lis said, looking at the two and nodding.
“If you go to Bright City, Liz, you might consider visiting the Love Church. It is the church of the ‘Love and Beauty Goddess Freyja,’ and may be of help to you.”
“If you encounter any difficulties, seek help at 36 Feis Street.”
“Thank you!” Liz said with pink eyes full of gratitude as she watched Lis.
Then, Lis turned his head to look at Fink standing by his side, who was looking at Lis with a pitiable gaze.
He seemed to have suffered quite a few injuries, wrapped in white bandages in several places, but his spirits appeared to be rather good,
“Remember to continue the exercise regimen I taught you, and the same goes for your combat skills. As for the medicinal herbs I gave you, use them and don’t skimp,” Lis counseled.
Having decided to invest in Fink’s future, Lis would naturally not be stingy.
He not only taught Fink a complete set of high-level warrior exercises and warrior martial skills but also gave him a lot of precious materials to strengthen his body. For this purpose, he even gave him the space ring he had “picked up” from Uer.
As for Liz and Cress, Lis did not do as much.
He didn’t have a firm grasp on their futures, and providing them with these resources might not be a good thing.
“Understood, Teacher Kane,” Fink immediately stood straight and responded upon hearing Lis’s instructions.
There was no helping it, Fink had been enduring Lis’ devilish training recently.
Since Lis didn’t have much time and was soon to embark on his own path, he tried to cram as much useful knowledge as possible into Fink.
It was a treatment most people would beg for, so despite the pain, Fink found joy in it these past few days.
What astonished Fink even more was Lis’ strength, who despite being nearly the same age, completely dominated every sparring session, exerting just enough pressure to push Fink to his limits, thus maximizing the unlocking of his potential.
But it was only during a casual conversation that Fink curiously asked and found out that Lis’ main profession was that of a mage.
It was outrageous, a mage in close combat was making it hard for him to even lift his head.
Especially after Uncle Magat, having seen Lis train him, said that Lis’ close combat abilities were even stronger than his own.
During breaks, Uncle Magat and his companions from the mercenary group hinted that he should take the initiative to pledge loyalty to that lord.
Fink hesitated for a moment, after all, Lis had been nothing but good to him, offering him a full array of resources that he had never dared to dream of before.
So, after hesitation, he asked Uncle Magat if it would be appropriate to take Lis as his mentor.
Upon hearing Fink’s thoughts, Uncle Magat was stunned for a moment before he slapped him hard on the head and walked away.
Therefore, in the time that followed, Fink always addressed Lis as “Teacher.”
Lis did not object and therefore accepted the arrangement.
Taking a future powerhouse as his student, nothing wrong with that!
“Magat, I’m leaving Fink in your care, make sure he gets enough training,”
Lis said with a nod as he looked at Magat standing beside Fink.
“Rest assured, we will certainly take good care of Fink,”
Magat promptly responded, not finding it strange at all that Lis had asked him to take care of Fink.
Although Fink had been a member of the mercenary group, being taken as an apprentice by Marquis Kane was such a massive opportunity, Magat wouldn’t dream of hindering it, nor could he.
Besides, to put it more self-interestedly, maintaining their good relationship with Fink would naturally bring them a lot of help in the future.
Lis smiled slightly, no longer worried.
In the future, Fink might face a life-threatening crisis, and even the White Wolf Mercenary Group that accompanied him might disappear; he might transform completely.
To prevent Fink’s future from turning for the worse because of his butterfly effect, Lis specially gave Fink a unique space transmission tool, instructing him to use it only in a life-or-death situation.
This was from the handiwork of Judgement Flame; Lis didn’t expect Fink to encounter any legendary level dangers.
After arranging everything, Lis wasted no more time and waved goodbye as he headed northwest towards Raya City.
As Lis’ figure gradually vanished into the distance, Uncle Magat patted Fink on the shoulder and seriously said:
“Fink, you’re incredibly lucky, being valued by Marquis Kane. Do you know how many people would be envious of your fortune if they found out?”
“You must seize this opportunity, or you’ll regret it when you reach our age.”
“Don’t worry, Uncle Magat!”
Fink nodded vigorously, his eyes determined as he watched where Lis had disappeared, his mind made up long ago.
Having grown up listening to various legends of heroes’ adventurous tales, he envied the protagonists for having so many opportunities.
Now, the opportunity was practically knocking on his forehead. If he failed to seize it, Fink felt he would be utterly useless.
Teacher, the next time we meet, I will show you a stronger version of myself!
