Can we talk about this person?
Upon seeing the caster in front of him, Ronald’s first thought was just that.
"Fury" conveyed that the other party was currently very nervous.
There were no overreactions in their superficial movents.
If the problem could be solved through dialogue, Ronald naturally hoped for that.
His mind shifted, and he imdiately switched to a gentler tone and said,
"Sir, we’re just passing by here."
"We do not wish to cause any dispute."
"..."
The man’s ntality changed instantly.
After Ronald spoke up to make peace, the wizard opposite him first appeared surprised, then shifted into a reassured, safe state.
Subsequently, standing up straight, he spoke with a condescending attitude,
"Ha, so you’re a wizard from outside."
"I advise you not to overestimate yourself just because you have a few spells in hand."
"If you want to get by in Barrier Mountain, it’s best not to ddle in other’s business!"
"..."
— I said the wrong thing.
Seeing the swift change in the man’s attitude, Ronald knew sothing went wrong with his approach.
The man, who had just been fearful of his power, was now so bold.
It only ant that Barrier Mountain’s rules were not very friendly towards ordinary outside casters.
"..."
"Harul, what are you doing!"
While Ronald pondered his next move,
a frantic female voice ca from afar.
In less than fifteen seconds, a young girl in a mage robe approached them from afar.
She did not walk over.
Instead, she was standing on a floating tallic-colored disc.
The magic fluctuations present were evident to any caster, marking it as a magical item.
However, Ronald’s interest was not here.
Leveraging his powerful vision, at this distance, he could even observe the manufacturing details on the disc. If not mistaken, this was not a unique magical artifact, but rather a standardized, mass-produced item.
Wizards from the "Infinite Negative Domain"...
Had they progressed to the point of mass-producing magic tools?
And even such that could serve as flying vehicles?
Ronald knew very well how substantial the difference was between flying and non-flying vehicles!
At this point, the rebuked caster scoffed coldly.
He seed to arrogantly assu sothing.
"Sinovia, your beloved brother has been stealing things in the streets. As his sister, do you intend to cover for your kin?"
"You..."
The wizard girl’s eyes sharpened, then she turned her head politely nodded to Ronald and the other person, before asking the previous young boy,
"Little Qi, did you steal anything?"
"Tell your sister the truth."
"I didn’t!" The little boy had fully regained his composure by now. With tears in his eyes, he firmly responded, "It’s Harul who slandered ! He... he... wizard..."
"Enough!"
Seeing the young boy about to say more, the wizard girl imdiately spoke up to interrupt him and sharply turned to address the man behind her,
"Harul, I’ve reported this to the psychology departnt."
"My brother is not lying. You should have no objections, right?"
The man sneered coldly and stepped back,
"Hmph—"
"You’d better hope it’s not because of your lack of skills!"
"And also, the idea of pulling outsiders into the academy isn’t unique to you, don’t try everything yourself and end up getting yourself killed!"
With that, the man left without looking back.
The girl watched as his figure completely disappeared, then turned to Ronald and the others,
"Gentlen, thank you for helping my brother."
"Usually..."
The conversation that followed went very smoothly.
Given that Ronald and Bapulor had saved her brother, the young wizard nad Sinovia invited them and, on the way ho, clarified the actual situation.
Sinovia had joined the Academy Tower as a young wizard apprentice two years ago after passing a test and, due to her natural talents, she was doing quite well among wizard apprentices.
However, having learned of Sinovia’s situation,
the town’s overseeing wizard, Harul, harbored ulterior motives.
Harul, due to his insufficient capabilities, had lost any chance of further education in the academy and, settling for less, hoped to pursue Sinovia in order to gain an opportunity to study spells through this connection.
As for the results...
Today’s incident where he vented his frustrations on Sinovia’s brother was telling enough.
Though his actions were rather despicable, Harul’s role in managing the town was quite solid, and the currently apprenticed Sinovia didn’t have many good solutions to deal with him.
For this wizard girl,
the best option was to quickly learn and master five kinds of spells to beco a real wizard.
Then, she could bring her brother to live in the official wizard family area.
Only then could this issue be fundantally resolved.
After settling her family mber, Sinovia enthusiastically invited Ronald and Bapulor to Barrier Mountain.
As the three walked along, Ronald casually probed during their conversation:
"Miss Sinovia, I have never seen the kind of disc you were standing on outside, could you share a little about it?"
The wizard girl explained without hesitation,
"Oh, this is a transportation tool developed by the watchtower school departnt. The big shots in the academy seem to be planning to conquer a new territory recently, so they distributed so props to us apprentices for testing."
Conquering new territories...
Ronald had heard of this statent before.
For those living in the "Infinite Negative Domain," if the outside world completely fell in ’world’s mutation,’ then a new land would synchronously erge here.
In it, both casters and ordinary people, whose ntal wills were twisted, would attack any approaching being indiscriminately.
Clearing this new land and incorporating it into their territory.
This action, in the mouths of the people from the "Infinite Negative Domain," was known as ’conquering new territories’.
Now hearing this from Sinovia,
Ronald exchanged a glance with Bapulor imdiately.
Barrier Mountain indeed had ans to receive news from outside; these drills and testing of equipnt clearly were the final preparations before the onset of a significant battle.
However, due to the ti difference between the two worlds,
action plans transmitted from outside a few years ago would appear as news from a few days ago to Barrier Mountain.
Thus, these casters from the "Infinite Negative Domain".
Their actual preparations were inevitably sowhat hasty.
Silently noting this detail, Ronald smiled and nodded his head.
He then shifted the topic and continued,
"As for us, we shouldn’t face discrimination or targeting, right?"
