Chapter 53 They All Changed

"Change?" Roja blinked, wondering: "Are you talking about me?"

"That's right." Weiss nodded, "Compared to when we first met, you haven't changed at all."

"We've only known each other for a few months, and there hasn't been anything major that can change people's personality. It's normal that there is no change." Roja replied.

"Not necessarily."

Weiss said faintly, looking sideways at the moonlight outside the window.

Seeing that Roja was silent and did not answer, Weiss began to speak on her own.

"That uncle named Ron was very easy-going when he first came here, but now he has a weird personality and moves strangely. No one knows what he is thinking and what he is doing."

"Live's words... Hehe, I can see that he hasn't drunk the green stock solution for almost half a year, but he asked for more than the amount of green stock solution from his grandfather. Guess what he is going to do?"

"As for Brand who came with you, his already irritable personality has become more and more irritable. Seven maids have already died in his house, and none of the maids dare to continue serving him."

"Not only the three of them, but also those from previous years."

Weiss sighed, "The person who can maintain his temperament after the grass trial, among so many people over the years, you are the only one I know."

Roja's face was as usual, and he was not affected by Weiss' words at all, "That's it."

Weiss suddenly supported the table with both hands, and her upper body leaned towards Roja, and the warm breath with the smell of alcohol and the scent of a girl's Finland hit Roja's face.

"Hey, can you tell me why?" Weiss asked with blurred eyes.

"What do you want to know?" Roja moved the chair slightly away from Weiss.

"Why didn't you change like them? Why did you still look like an ordinary person? Didn't you become more like a wizard?" Weiss asked.

"Why do you think a person will change his personality in a short period of time?" Roja asked back.

"Well..." Weiss rubbed her temples with her hands, unable to answer for a while.

"Generally speaking, it is because they have endured pressure beyond their psychological capacity. The Trial of Green Grass has brought them great pain and pressure, so they have changed."

"Oh, so you're not stressed?"

"Yes, but it's not beyond my mental capacity, and the impact is not big."

"Hee hee, is that so? Master Roja, your mental quality is really strong." Weiss laughed out of nowhere, looking very happy.

"If anyone among the four of you can pass the wizard trial and become a wizard apprentice, I think that person must be you, Lord Roja. Unfortunately, Grandpa doesn't seem to think so."

"why?"

"Because Grandpa doesn't think you look like a wizard at all."

"Like a wizard?" Roja wondered.

"That's right, being as mysterious and crazy as a wizard, and doing whatever it takes to achieve the goal." Weiss nodded.

Weiss' stereotype of wizards made Roja a little speechless.

A wizard is just a profession and a title. A wizard has a variety of personalities, and there are all kinds of people.

Just like a knight must be upright?

Thinking that wizards are going to be mysterious and crazy is simply a prejudice against wizards.

Although Roja has not seen many wizards.

But the witch doctor Barney and the paladin Serge are normal people, at least not crazy.

However, Roja did not start a discussion with Weiss on the topic of "what a wizard should be like".

Roja yawned.

"I didn't expect Miss Weiss to be so optimistic about me, so I will accept your good words." Roja put the book cover and put it aside, ready to continue reading tomorrow.

"Are you ready to rest?" Seeing Roja's movements, Weiss asked.

"Miss Weiss, you left the ball for almost an hour, right? If you don't go back, it won't be good to make people worry." Roja persuaded him kindly.

"Haha, don't be in a hurry." Weiss seemed to suddenly think of something interesting, and said with a smile, "Did you know that someone had a duel for me at the ball just now?"

Weiss smiled contemptuously, "I quarreled because of me, and somehow started a duel under the instigation of everyone, making it look like as long as I win, I can get me, it really makes people speechless."

"It's obviously just two trash that even I can't beat!"

Weiss knocked on the table, "If you were there, Lord Roja, you can hang them up and hammer them with one finger, right?"

Roja said modestly: "Not necessarily."

Weiss asked again: "To be able to embark on the path of a wizard, Lord Roja, you must be very strong, right?"

Roja is still modest, "It's not that strong, it's just enough to protect itself."

After squinting her eyes and staring at Roja for a while, Weiss gradually became serious, "When I was walking with the friends who came to visit at noon, I met Master Roja, you were practicing under the waterfall."

"I have a friend who would like to ask you a favor after hearing about you."

"The help is actually very simple. I hope you can help kill a top-level monster."

Until this moment, Weiss finally revealed the real purpose of her trip.

Otherwise, a beautiful young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old would not wait for a good dance, but would sit and chat with a strange man in the library in the middle of the night?

"It's not an ordinary top-level monster, is it?" Roja asked in a deep voice.

"It's Weican Wharf, [-] kilometers upstream from our Hain port. A few months ago, a top-level magical beast carp appeared suddenly, causing the entire Weican Wharf to be shut down for several months. Loss heavy."

Weiss sighed, "The Viscount Peijin at Weishen Wharf has already looked for Grandpa several times, and he came to him again today. I hope Grandpa can help deal with the carp."

"But on land, it's still said that it's too difficult to hunt a top-level magical beast in the water, especially the powerful defensive and extremely cunning carp."

"It's not that grandpa doesn't want to help, but he has sent people there several times, but they failed to hunt them down."

Weiss's slender fingers gently rubbed the hair on her forehead, "I really have no choice but to wait for the wizard to come to hunt, but the wizard is very busy, and I don't know when I will be free to help."

After finishing speaking, Weiss looked at Roja with bilingualism, "If it's Mr. Roja, you must have a solution, right?"

Roja didn't answer immediately, he lowered his head and knocked on the table in thought.

The carp snake beast is a powerful monster that looks like a carp but has a slender body like a snake.

It has carp scales with strong defensive power, and its personality is extremely cunning, so it is very difficult to hunt and kill.

It’s okay if it’s on land, but in water…

Roja shook his head, and refused in a helpless tone: "I'm not a wizard yet, the only one who is stronger than other great knights is only stronger in mental strength. The beast has nothing to do, and I can't change anything."

Weiss squinted her eyes, obviously not believing Roja's words.

"Master Roja, if you think about it carefully, we will never let you work in vain. If you have anything you want, you can just say it, and we will try our best to satisfy you."

"Oh?"

Roja was a little moved.
