From Wild Mage to Wizard King

Standing there, Hela pursed her lips, and after hesitating for a while, she finally spoke.

"Are you leaving?"

"Um?"

Roland walked to the wooden sword that he had picked up, lowered his body and picked it up. After hearing Hela's words, he looked at her in confusion.

However, he quickly reacted, realized what she meant, and said.

"That's about right. Once winter is over, I should leave the Northland when spring arrives."

"where are you going?"

Hela lowered her head and asked softly.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I plan to go to Sinal."

Roland put away the two training wooden swords in his hands, put them on the training stand nearby, and responded in a casual tone.

After speaking, he turned his head, looked at Hela, and asked.

"Speaking of which, have you thought about the future? If you want to stay in the North safely, I can leave you a start-up capital. You can also learn to read the book I gave you before. The knowledge in it It’s enough to keep you going.”

"If you want to continue studying, I can take you to the Tower of Truth. With your talent, finding a school to join is not a problem."

Roland once again provided Hela with two options.

Hela didn't answer. She walked to Roland silently, grabbed the corner of Roland's clothes, and asked in a low voice.

"Can I follow you?"

Hela made an unexpected third choice.

Roland looked at Hela who lowered her head and said with some surprise.

"Follow me?"

Hela nodded.

"It will be very dangerous if you follow me."

Roland paused and continued.

"I plan to become an adventurer. My future life may involve traveling around and exploring ruins. The living conditions may be harsh and the risk is also high. Are you sure?"

Hela nodded and said firmly.

"I'm not afraid."

Looking at Hela's firm gaze, Roland blinked and replied.

"Okay, I understand, follow if you want."

Hela's talent is quite good, and if cultivated properly, Roland might even be able to gain a qualified assistant.

After receiving Roland's answer, Hela also showed her first smile since she followed Roland.

Roland shrugged and said casually as he walked towards the room.

"Since you plan to leave the Northland with me, let's rest today and pack all the things we need to bring. Tomorrow we will go to Winter City first to prepare the supplies for departure."

"yes."

Hela responded and followed Roland into the room.

Nothing happened all night.

At dawn the next day, Roland and Hela rode their respective chocobos and left the small town where they had lived for more than a month.

————

After several days of running around, Roland and Hela successfully arrived at Winter City.

Compared to the last time they had to queue up to enter the city, since they had already registered with the Spellcasters Association and obtained badges, the two of them went directly through the special passage for extraordinary people and entered the city directly without waiting or paying.

As soon as he entered the city, Roland noticed something was wrong.

He pulled the chocobo and silently observed the situation on the street.

Within a short distance of less than fifty meters, Roland saw a dozen orc soldiers strolling and shopping on the streets. The several pubs he encountered were also very lively, and from time to time there were a few drunkards paralyzed outside the pubs.

The flow of people in Winter City was obviously much higher than the last time they came.

Have the troops stationed in the south of the Northland Kingdom withdrawn?

Roland looked in the direction of the Winter City Palace, where dozens of powerful auras were dormant.

Although they are concealed and cannot be noticed by ordinary people, to the same extraordinary beings, they are still very conspicuous like bright lights in the dark night.

Chaos in the Northland Kingdom is probably about to come, so it seems like we need to run away as soon as possible.

Roland thought silently.

In his last life, he didn't know much about the Northland. After buying the staff in the Northland, he ran away. He had only heard about the subsequent turmoil in the Northland.

He only knew that because the orc king of the North Kingdom died of old age, a succession war broke out among the heirs to compete for the throne, and the last half-orc ascended the throne.

As for when the Succession War broke out, he was not very clear.

Although the king should be able to survive for a while looking like this, he still needs to leave early.

Looking at the aura in the palace that was a bit strong on the outside but weak on the inside, Roland made his decision.

As for Hela on the side, because she was originally just a tribal wanderer who didn't understand anything, Roland's teachings were mainly to improve her combat power. Therefore, she lacked basic extraordinary knowledge and couldn't understand what Roland was doing. Well, I can only guard Roland quietly.

Roland withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"Let's go, Hela, finish shopping early and leave early."

Hela nodded, pulled Chocobo and followed Roland to the busy commercial street in Winter City.

When Roland and Hela walked out of a store buying various supplies for their journey, he instantly noticed several sights hidden in the dark.

Roland looked down at the map in his hand as if nothing had happened, then raised his head and glanced around casually, and immediately locked onto the transcendent who was monitoring him.

Two groups of spies from different forces? It seems that the fight for the throne started earlier than he thought. Are even two foreign spellcasters so alert?

Roland put away the map and pulled Hela to the next store as if nothing had happened.

After Roland reached out and pulled Hela, Hela immediately understood. After putting the things in her hand on the package of the chocobo, she put her free hand into her pocket and held the spell scroll inside.

Then, the two of them walked slowly to another store, and the two groups of monitoring forces did not make any attempts, but just followed them silently.

After going through several stores, Roland realized that they did not seem to have the intention of attacking Roland, but he did not relax. On the contrary, he sped up the shopping speed.

Thanks to the funds given by the Moon Elf Ambassador before, by adding money, the two of them successfully gathered all the supplies needed for the long journey.

Then, Roland and Hela registered as adventurers in the Adventurer's Association of Winter City and formed an adventure group with only the two of them.

With the spellcaster badge as evidence, they easily completed all the registrations and obtained the status of bronze adventurers.

Afterwards, Roland and Hela bought a high-end and comfortable large carriage and a lot of books from the Spellcaster Association. They moved all the purchased supplies and luggage into the carriage, and paid to deposit the chocobos that had accompanied them for several months in the association.

Although Hela was a little reluctant, the polar chocobos were only adapted to the environment of the North. If they were taken away from the North, they would not live long. Moreover, as highly domesticated creatures, releasing them would be no different from murder for them.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of the two groups of spies, the two got on the carriage and left Winter City directly without paying attention to the gradually darkening sky.
