Chapter 26 Stonefish, the Spiritual Radiation Highly Praised by Knights
Although the figure was not tall, his presence stood out among the group of knights.
"Lord Nova the Wizard"
Leo never expected to see Nova on the knight's ship.
Nova, aboard the ship, glanced at Leo and said, "Danville, we meet again. It seems you've made considerable progress at the Esmond Gathering."
"Your spiritual energy is approaching the level of a wizard."
"It seems you've chosen potions as your discipline; you have a faint herbal scent about you."
"Did you also study melee wizardry? You've taken melee wizardry potions, and your body clearly shows signs of being modified by those potions."
Leo felt a chill run down his spine.
He didn't expect that Nova would have seen through his growth trajectory so clearly just by meeting him.
Nova made a judgment on almost everything except for the Fel Hand.
Keep in mind that Nova was several hundred meters away from him at that moment.
With just one glance, he could discern Leo's approximate level and abilities.
Leo said helplessly, "Master Nova, a wizard as perceptive as you is truly unsettling."
Upon hearing this, Nova smiled and shook his head, saying, "You think it's impressive that I can see these things?"
"Actually, it's nothing special. When you've gone a little further down the path of wizarding like me, you'll be able to see through the training trajectory of a wizarding budding like you at a glance, just like I am."
Leo shook his head.
Even with the help of the illustrated manual, Leo really felt that reaching the level Nova described was not so easy.
Moreover, for some reason, Nova gave Leo a very strange feeling.
According to the elf at the counter of the woodpecker's hut, he had only been a wizard for a few years.
But in Leo's eyes, Nova was like an old man who had lived for a very long time. His level of knowledge was so vast that it was hard to describe him as a genius. Leo could only attribute this to Nova's love of reading.
"Come on up," Nova said, waving his right hand gently toward Leo.
A pair of bird wings sprouted from the sides of Leo's shoes.
The bird's wings began to flap, and Leo took flight.
Leo's body stiffened slightly in mid-air.
After all, flying that high, if they were to fall, even someone with the physical constitution of a Prosman would be injured.
However, Leo didn't hesitate for long before landing on the ship and standing in front of Nova.
The moment he landed on the deck, the bird wings on Leo's shoes vanished.
Leo looked at Nova.
When Leo looked at Nova up close, what he felt most was the difference in their spiritual energy.
If Leo's spiritual energy is a cup of water, then Nova's spiritual energy is a long river; they are not even in the same league.
Nova said, "Well, compared to when we first met, can you see my true colors much better now?"
Leo shook his head and said, "Not only can I not see through your true nature, but because I have grown myself, I find that the gap between us is getting wider and wider."
"Being able to understand that the gap is widening means you are making rapid progress."
Nova said dismissively.
Just then, a gruff male voice rang out: "Nova, are these the students from your gathering?"
Beside Nova stood two figures dressed in long robes.
A tall, slender figure, his face hidden under the hood of his robe.
The other was a burly man with a neat face and a blank expression, like a stern stone.
The speaker was this burly male wizard.
"No, just a wizard budding I once knew."
Upon hearing that Leo was a budding wizard, the burly man lost interest in him.
His gaze swept over the badge on Leo's chest, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he looked away.
No matter how high Leo ranks among this year's wizarding prodigies, he is still just a wizarding prodigy, not worth mentioning.
The burly man said, "Nova, let's get back to the question we were talking about earlier."
Regarding my research experiments...
Nova started a discussion with the burly man.
Nova, engrossed in the discussion, seemed to have completely forgotten that Leo was right next to them, neither introducing him nor paying him any attention.
Leo stood to the side, not feeling awkward about being ignored. Instead, he took the opportunity to listen to the experimental topics that these wizards usually discussed.
Although he was listening carefully, Leo could only vaguely understand that their discussion was related to a phenomenon called "photoreactive materials."
The illustrated guide also did not respond to the topics they discussed.
Clearly, simply listening to their discussions is not enough to provide sufficient knowledge for creating an illustrated guide.
However, since it was rare to encounter a wizard of Nova's caliber discussing this topic, Leo still tried his best to listen to their conversation. Regardless of how much or how little he gained, he still gained something.
As the two discussed, the tall, slender wizard beside them would occasionally chime in.
Through their discussion, Leo learned the names of the other two.
The slender wizard was a woman named Fura.
The burly male wizard was named Camon.
"Lord Danville the Wizard."
Just then, Eiffel's voice came from the side.
"We're planning a discussion about hunting sea monsters, and I was wondering if you'd be available now."
Upon hearing this, Leo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go right now."
Leo's thinking was gradually falling behind Nova and the other two's discussion, and continuing to listen wouldn't yield much benefit.
Eiffel led Leo to a room inside the ship's cabin.
Besides Leo, there are three other people here, two sitting and one standing.
Two people were sitting, one dressed in a white wizard's robe and the other in silver armor.
The person standing there was John, dressed in silver armor.
John's expression was complicated when he saw Leo.
Eiffel said, "Master Hughes, Carella, and this is Master Danville."
"Lord Danville, these two are the main participants in this sea monster hunt. Wizard Hughes, like you, is a budding wizard from the Tower of Dawn."
"Carrera is my second-in-command."
Carrera glanced at Leo and said, "Eiffel, as I said before, although you have found wizards, if they are not wizards who have condensed spiritual seeds, then not only will they not be able to help us, but they may also cause us trouble."
Compared to Eiffel, the knight named Carella was rather rude to Leo.
John, oblivious to the fleeting smugness on his face, noticed Carrie's attitude towards Leo and the other man.
He also didn't realize that whenever Leo was looked down upon, he would unconsciously feel happy inside.
Upon hearing this, Eiffel said, "Carrera, you should know that most of those who can accept missions from our Knights are these young wizards."
Carrera slammed her large hand on the table and said roughly, "Fine, although it can't compare to a real wizard, it's passable. It's definitely stronger than our ordinary knights."
