Chapter 348: Rumors
Heath’s Lighthouse, classroom, before class.
In the spacious classroom, the students waiting to go to class were in a mess. They were fighting, flipping books, and the whole classroom was in a mess.
“Hey, did you hear? A Wizard came to our town! I heard he went to the castle!”
“I knew it from the beginning. My father was working in the castle. He was in the castle that night. I heard that the Count personally received the Wizard!”
“Bullsh*t, it’s not like that at all. That Wizard went to the castle in stealth. How could your father see it?”
“It’s true…”
Recently, there was a hot topic in the town. It was said that a Wizard who only existed in legends actually came to the town and even visited the castle of Count Barris.
Wizards were existences like gods. In the eyes of mortals, they held extraordinary powers. They could summon wind and rain, turn stone into gold, and could live forever. It was said that any mortal who received a little favor from them could easily rise to the top even if they became a noble or even a king.
Da! Da! Da! At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded, and the noisy classroom became a little quieter.
Not long after, a young man walked out from the corridor behind them. He had black hair and a black academic robe. It was their teacher, Heath.
Heath came to the desk in front of them and put down his book. “Alright, get ready for class.”
“Yes, yes, Teacher.”
“Yes, Teacher Heath.”
The students’ voices were sparse and clearly not as orderly as before.
Heath could not help but raise his eyebrows and looked down. Only then did he notice that the students’ expressions were not as positive as usual, including the usually outstanding students like Lily. They were all a little absent-minded.
He asked in puzzlement, “Is something wrong?”
The students stuttered.
“No…”
“Nothing…”
Heath looked in Lily’s direction and gestured. “Lily, go ahead.”
Lily stood up and said, “Teacher, they are talking about Wizards.”
Heath was stunned. “Wizards?”
One of the students said, “Yes, Teacher, haven’t you heard? A real Wizard came to our town and visited Count Barris’ castle in the middle of the night.”
“I heard that the Wizard easily subdued all the guards in the castle, including Count Barris, who has the power of a Knight!”
“It’s too powerful, too powerful!”
The students were excited, and their eyes were full of admiration.
Looking at their heated discussion, he could not help but feel that it was quite interesting, so he could not help but ask jokingly, “Do you like Wizards so much? Aren’t you afraid that he will use magic to turn you all into frogs?”
Although it was just a casual joke, he did not expect that it would unexpectedly cause a heated discussion among the students. “It can’t be? Wizards’ magic is used to deal with bad people. We are just children.”
“That’s not possible. I heard that some evil Wizards like to use black magic to turn children into all kinds of strange creatures and eat them. It’s said that many children lost in the forest were turned into candy by Wizards and eaten.”
“Don’t scare people. The Wizard who came to the town must be a kind Wizard. Hmm… it’s a Light Wizard.” “Hey, you guys, it’s unknown whether the Wizard came or not, okay? Maybe it’s just hearsay…”
Looking at the chattering below, Heath really wanted to know what these students’ expressions would be like if they knew that he was the legendary Wizard.
Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind. In fact, Heath would never reveal his identity.
After all, he came to this town to experience the life of an ordinary person. If he revealed his identity, it would be impossible for him to continue being ordinary.
At least, before he left this town, he would not voluntarily reveal the power of magic in front of others…
The discussion about the arrival of a Wizard in the town did not only gather in this classroom, but also in the streets, alleys, and taverns. There were discussions about Wizards everywhere, and all of a sudden, it became a hot topic.
After all, people’s pursuit of supernatural power was very fanatical in any era, especially in this age of ignorance.
A month later, by the sea, Golden Harbor Town.
“Noen, Miss Amy, are you out for a walk?”
“Yes, we’re out for a walk, and going to pick up some seafood.”
“What do you need? I’ll get my little Norman to help you.” “It’s okay, we’re just taking a walk…”
After dinner, Heath took Amy to the beach. They were missing some supplementary materials for a recent experiment. They were common seafood that could be found on the beach. Heath was too lazy to go to the market, so he decided to try his luck on the beach.
‘System, open range extraction.’
[Beep, open range extraction…)
Turning on the system’s range extraction function, Heath strolled on the beach, listening to the system’s notification sound. He searched for the materials and enjoyed the scenery around him.
It was now evening. The sunset shone down from the sky, casting a golden-red light on the entire sea. The sea breeze was blowing gently, creating layers of waves on the surface of the sea. As far as the eye could see… The whole ocean was covered in the golden-red light, looking very beautiful.
It was refreshing to stand on the beach and enjoy such beautiful scenery.
“Teacher, I found a Red-Headed Hermit Crab here. Do you think it can be used?” Amy walked over, holding a hermit crab in one hand.
She was wearing a strange dress, which looked like a bed sheet wrapped around her body and then cut. She had a cut on her collar and an opening on one side of her thigh. Her beautiful collarbone and long thigh were exposed, which made the woman’s beauty stand out.
However, this dress didn’t fit the people around her. It didn’t look like this world at all.
In fact, it was made by Heath from the beach-style beach skirts on Earth.
It was one of Heath’s favorite things to do, to dress the maids in his favorite clothes and make them look like what he wanted them to look like. When he was free, he would make some clothes for Amy based on his memory, and this beach skirt was one of them.
In addition, he made a lot of clothes that had only appeared in the previous world…
