"The Damara Family."
In the spacious room, listening to the words of the middle-aged noble in front of him, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Athir's eyes.
The Damara family is a very famous family. It is said that there is an official wizard in the family, and it is an extremely powerful wizard family.
In this area, the Damara family is famous for its magic ship manufacturing technology. It is said that it has monopolized navigation in the nearby waters and is very powerful.
The person in front of him should be the wizard accompanying the Cladi family on this ship, but he actually reached the level of a third-class apprentice, which surprised Athir.
Under normal circumstances, for an ordinary ship like this, although some people would be sent to accompany it for safety reasons, it would usually be considered good to have a second-class apprentice in charge, and third-class apprentices would rarely be dispatched.
As if he understood the doubts in Athir's heart, Cladi, who was dressed as a middle-aged noble, said, "I am going to the south to deal with some things this time, so I set off with this ship and serve as the accompanying wizard here."
"But I didn't expect to meet two adults at the same time during this voyage."
Having said this, a smile appeared on his face.
"I'm surprised too." Hearing the other party's words, Athir also smiled.
The southern continent was already barren, and basically all wizard organizations and wizard families were concentrated in the area near the northern plains. Wizards were rarely seen in other places.
In such a barren place, a second-class apprentice is already an extremely noble and rare person, not to mention a third-class apprentice. It takes extraordinary luck to meet a few of them.
After all, even in those powerful wizard academies, a third-class apprentice is definitely considered a backbone.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Radel Simoko." At this time, the old man in a white robe holding an iron cane also interrupted with a smile.
"I'm Athir Fakus." Athir nodded and introduced himself.
"It turned out to be Lord Athir."
Listening to Athir's words, the old man in white robe in front smiled and said, "I heard from Lord Cladi that Lord Athir is going to the Bar Islands, right?"
Hearing this, Athir looked at Cladi with some surprise.
"My family's apprentice who stayed at the port told me."
Looking at Athir's expression, Clardi explained, "Please understand that we will register every third-class apprentice who comes on board to avoid unnecessary offense."
"I understand." Athir nodded.
The destructive power of wizards is too strong. If a third-class apprentice has no one of the same level to restrain him, it is easy for him to kill everyone on the ship. So one must be cautious.
"I'm from the Bar Islands, and I want to visit my hometown this time."
After standing there and thinking for a while, Athir said, "What is the destination of the two adults?"
"I'm going to the Seymour Sea in the south to take care of some things there."
Looking at Athir, Cladi nodded and looked at Rad beside him: "It seems that the place Lord Radel is going to is also the Barr Islands."
"That's right." Listening to Clardi's words, Radel nodded: "There has been a lot of chaos in the Barr Islands recently. I was just about to go and see my people."
"Lord Athir should be the same."
He looked at Athir and said with a smile: "I seem to have heard of the surname Fakus decades ago before I went to sea. It should also be an ancient wizard family."
Hearing this, Athir's heart was moved, but his face was calm: "I also heard about the chaos over there when I was on the mainland, but I don't know the details."
"Can you two gentlemen tell me more about it?" he asked calmly.
Athir was indeed a little unclear about the current situation over there.
Although Duke Arieux often sent him some messages, due to the distance, it took a long time to receive a message, and many things were very brief and not explained clearly.
In addition, due to the influence of the secret realm events in recent years, Athir left the academy directly and went to live in the distant Kingdom of Gumodo. He completely lost contact with that place and didn't know how the situation is developing now.
Listening to Athir's words, Radel looked at him in surprise, and then smiled and said, "It seems that Master Athir studies very hard. No wonder he can reach the level of a third-class apprentice at this age."
He obviously regarded Athir as an ascetic monk who was only concerned with study and meditation, and there was a hint of admiration in his words.
As for this, Athir had no intention of explaining it.
"Although the Barr Archipelago is dotted with countless small islands, it has always been centered on the Xier Continent. There are the most wizard families there, and it is considered the most prosperous place in the area."
Standing in place, Sidel explained, "And this time the chaos over there started from Xier. Several northern countries attacked the southern countries at the same time, destroying several small countries and involving some local wizard families."
At this point, Sidell shrugged helplessly: "My family happens to be the royal family of a kingdom there, so in order to prevent my family from being affected by this chaos, I can only rush back to take a look to avoid any problems."
"Of course, we can only know the specific news when we get there. After all, we are too far away from there, and many things cannot be known immediately."
"So, is there any news about the Principality of Kuma?" After standing there and thinking for a while, Atier asked again.
The Principality of Kuma is the principality ruled by Duke Arie. It is also located among the southern countries. Although its strength is not strong, it is also an independent small principality.
"The Principality of Kuma."
Hearing this name, Radel looked a little hesitant: "I don't think I've heard of this name. It should be just a small country."
"But I know that among the countries destroyed in the Xier Continent in recent years, the Principality of Kuma is not one of them."
Listening to his words and standing in front of him, Atier nodded and felt a little relieved.
Several third-class apprentices chatted in the room for a while, and after a long time, they ended the conversation.
In the following days, Cladi invited Athir and Radel to have dinner together every day, and the meaning of winning over and getting close to them was very obvious.
However, Athir himself was not opposed to this and soon became familiar with the two third-class apprentices.
Half the time passed quickly.
One morning, Athir was sitting quietly in the room with a yellow book in his hand.
"It seems that although the meditation methods in different places are different, the specific effects are not much different."
Sitting at the head of the bed, Athir gently closed the book in his hand and whispered to himself.
During this period, through interactions with the other two third-class apprentices, Atier also gained some knowledge.
Third-class apprentices like them have been able to be promoted all the way from ordinary apprentices to their current level, and their accumulation is generally quite good.
By trading with these two third-class apprentices, Atier also obtained some things, such as the basic meditation methods of other academies and families, and some basic spell templates, which can be used to enrich the chip's database.
Basic meditation methods like these were not that valuable. They had lost most of their effects by the time they reached the second-class apprentice level, and were almost useless to the third-class apprentice level, as they could only slightly improve the spirit.
Athir only used some magic stones to exchange for two different meditation methods for research.
However, the results of the research disappointed him a little.
After experiments, Atier discovered that although the meditation training methods in different places were indeed different, they were of little use to a third-class apprentice, and he could only hone his skills over time.
"It shouldn't be like this."
Sitting quietly on the bed, Athir said to himself: "For a third-class apprentice, the effect of meditation has completely failed. Even if you want to be promoted to a formal wizard, you must meet the promotion conditions and then use specific resources to assist."
"It's already so difficult to be promoted to a formal wizard, so how can we achieve the level 2 wizard, level 3 wizard, or even the level 4 wizard who could travel to other planes in ancient times?"
Sitting on the bedside, he was somewhat puzzled and asked himself with some speculation: "Or is it that there is actually a more advanced meditation method based on the basic meditation method?"
In his heart, Athir was very inclined to this possibility.
Since the basic meditation method is called basic, there must be more advanced meditation methods.
"But if there is a more advanced meditation method, why didn't Teacher Edith tell me? And there is no record of this in the materials I collected at the academy."
Sitting on the head of the bed, thinking about these things, Athir felt a little confused.
However, he had some vague guesses about this issue in his mind.
If the advanced meditation method really exists, it is undoubtedly an extremely precious thing. It is completely understandable that those wizard organizations that possess the advanced meditation method completely block the news of it in order to maintain their own advantages.
On the other hand, it is also possible that the prerequisites for practicing advanced meditation methods are too high, and it may require formal wizards to access and practice them.
"The specific situation in this regard can only be understood after you are promoted to a formal wizard. But now, you can try other methods."
Sitting on the bedside, Athir instructed the chip in his mind: "Chip, create a task and deduce a meditation method based on the existing basic meditation method."
"Task one has been established, the database has been created, and the simulation has begun..."
"The basic meditation method is not well prepared. Please collect more information..." In my mind, the sound of a chip machine began to ring.
