Chapter 79

Chapter 79 The Storm Spreads Back to the Mainland

Dean Tungus stood in the classroom, looked at the second and third generations who were not listening carefully at all, and sighed imperceptibly.

Ever since Locke, Patty and Code left Corfu and went to the wizarding world, and Professor Olde died from the side effects of the stone crab potion, he was the only second-class wizard apprentice left in the entire Corfu continent.

In this low-magic world where not a trace of magic can be felt in the air, Dean Tungus feels that his aging has accelerated.

No one could understand him.

There is no one to tell.

No one can be trusted.

Dean Tungus’s old eyes revealed an even colder indifference. He had absolutely no patience for the second and third generation students who were gilding themselves in this classroom.

“get out of class dismissed…”

Although it was not time to end the get out of class, Dean Tungus turned around and left the classroom.

The purpose of Aurelian College is to select wizard seedlings for the wizarding world from the mortal world of this wild island.

But now, there is no wizard seedling in this academy.

In the low-magic world, the proportion of wizards is still very low.

The students looked at the dean in surprise as he left. They didn’t understand why the dean, who had been strictly requiring them to attend classes seriously since two years ago, suddenly stopped paying attention to the classes after Locke and others disappeared.

Often, they would even leave the class halfway through with an indifferent look on their faces.

However, these students themselves had no idea how much they had missed. Seeing that they were no longer forced to attend classes, they cheered after the dean left.

Some were going out to duel swords, some were looking for a place to sleep, and some were flirting with girls…

In the elegant corridor of Aurelian College, Dean Tungus had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a “cooing” sound from above his head. He looked up, but his pupils shrank slightly and his eyes revealed extreme confusion.

I saw an albatross with many runes engraved on its wings, flapping its wings and flying in the air. There was a letter bag hanging around the neck of the albatross.

Tunguska muttered to himself. “This is… the Cretan albatross. It can fly above the thunderclouds, avoiding the dangerous, endless, mysterious sea. It’s one of the few migratory birds that can cross the ocean and deliver letters.”

“I remember that sending a letter with a Cretan Albatross would cost at least 500 magic stones each time, which is extremely expensive. However, the Cretan Albatross is also very fast, so sending a letter usually only takes a few days.”

“But why, then, is this migratory bird on Corfu?”

“That’s the house crest of Lilith’s Lodge. This Cretan Albatross comes from Lilith’s Lodge in the wizarding world.”

Dean Tungus suddenly thought of a possibility, but this possibility was much more outrageous than suddenly seeing the Cretan Albatross from the magical world.

There is an unspoken rule in the wizarding world. Whenever a wizard seedling from the mortal world becomes a first-class wizard apprentice, the academy will give them a benefit – let the Cretan Albatross send a letter for free to inform their families in the mortal world and share the good news together.

After all, in the wizarding world, the status of a first-class wizard apprentice is not easy.

The lifelong goal of many wizard aspirants is not to become a formal wizard, but to become a first-class wizard apprentice.

Becoming a first-class wizard apprentice can bring honor to the family.

Although it is relatively expensive to deliver a letter using a Cretan Albatross, most larger wizarding organizations will have some of these albatrosses, so the cost is not very high for the academy.

In addition, it is almost impossible for the overseas mortal world to exchange information with the southeast corner.

In order to prevent the ridiculous situation where a first-class wizard apprentice finally gets promoted and holds increasingly important positions in the school, but his family is persecuted by secular kings and nobles in the mortal world, the academy usually arranges such a notice to prevent some short-sighted people from making stupid mistakes.

But this made Dean Tunguska feel even more incredible. “But Patty and the others have only been away from Corfu for over two years.”

Dean Tunguska caught a letter dropped by a Cretan albatross, and then watched the albatross flap its wings and fly to another mortal island with the letter bag.

Tunguska opened the letter and said, “What? Locke Augustine is now a first-class wizard apprentice and a genius breeder.”

Tungus felt his palms trembling slightly, because he hadn’t seen Locke for more than two years, so his impression of Locke gradually began to fade.

But he still remembered the rich second-generation boy who was persecuted by Professor Old and came to him tremblingly, wanting to get a homework from him.

Tunguska let out a long breath, and then a look of genuine joy and complacency appeared on his face. “A great man has emerged from a small place.”

“Locke Augustine, he is from the Aurelian Academy in Corfu and was once one of my students.”

“He became a first-class wizard apprentice in two years, almost one level a year. How long will it take him to become a full-fledged wizard?” Tungus was shocked by his idea. “That’s a full-fledged wizard, Locke can become one, right?”

Dean Tungus quickened his pace and left in a hurry. He wanted to deliver the letter to the Augustin family, Count Augustin, and his eldest sons.

At the same time, he also wanted to let the Frankish emperor see this letter.

Recently, the Frankish Empire has completely unified Corfu, creating a grand empire unprecedented in Corfu’s history.

Never before had so many people of different cultures and races gathered in one country. The Frankish Empire set up courts across the country and began to target local nobles and consolidate power.

So he had to tell the Frankish Emperor quickly, and the Frankish Emperor would know how to treat the Augustinian family.

…

A day later, at a small private dinner in the Augustine family.

Count Augustine proudly handed the letter from the wizarding world to Gloria and drank a large glass of wine.

Gloria suddenly realized and said, “No wonder my new wife has stopped being arrogant towards me recently. Not only that, she has been trying to please me every day these past few days and wants to have a child with me as soon as possible.”

“It seems that the princess already knows something.”

Gloria was a little worried about Locke. “I just wonder if my brother will be in any danger in that wizarding world. Unfortunately, I’m here, so worrying is pointless.”

Count Augustine smiled and said, “Don’t worry. As far as I know, a first-class wizard apprentice has a high status in the wizarding world, only below a formal wizard.”

“Locke has already established a certain status in the wizarding world and does not require our concern.”

“I believe he will get better and better.”

“Those royal families back then were nothing more than descendants of wizards.”

“The princess probably wants to give birth to a child with Augustine bloodline as soon as possible, so as to better consolidate their royal status.”

“Thanks to Locke, this kid has made great progress.”

“In this way, the measures taken by the Frankish royal family against the nobles will not fall on our Augustin family.”

Count Augustin laughed and said, “Julian Frank, the adopted daughter of Dean Tunguska, tried to curry favor with me this morning and told me that the emperor wanted to elevate our family to a ducal family.”

“Gorea, you are so lucky to have a brother like this.”

Gloria laughed. “Father, this is also your luck. No, this is the luck of our Augustine family.”

“The princess has become so active now. Father, you will soon be able to hold your grandson.”

“Let’s both toast to Locke!”

The two raised a glass of mellow red wine together.
