Arthur came out of the camp, finding the mercenaries roasting three pigs over a fire lit with forest logs.
They coated the three pigs with various spices that grew in this forest. Although it was not clear how they roasted the pigs, the aroma was quite strong.
"Boss, would you like to eat now?" Rose who happened to pass in front of Arthur asked with a smile.
She actually also glanced inside the camp but found nothing, it was still as neat as last night.
Arthur didn't answer, just signaled for her to prepare the meal.
His eyes then looked at Isabel who was washing her face in the lake.
She was right in front of the giant crocodile taking a dip.
However, the crocodile looked at her respectfully, not daring to move an inch for fear of making the water dirty.
Having finished washing her face, Isabel went straight back, approaching Arthur.
"You're going to teach me magic, right, how's that?" She asked, seemingly forgetting everything that happened in the camp.
Arthur replied, "You can ask me anything you're confused about, I'll explain it."
Right after he said that, Jade approached them curiously.
She seemed to be interested in the topic they were talking about.
Seeing her, Isabel motioned for her to sit beside her.
Once she sat there, Isabel said, "you can also ask what you are confused about, Arthur will explain it."
Of course, Jade was still hesitant to ask Arthur even though Isabel had already spoken.
At the same time, Rose came in carrying pieces of meat that were placed on a wooden tray, looking like it was freshly made.
There were also some chopsticks with sharp edges on the tray.
She placed the tray beside Arthur and the others as she said, "Please eat, boss, madam, Jade..."
Rose also mentioned Jade's name.
It seemed that she had chatted with the woman while Arthur was still sleeping.
Jade nodded to her, indicating that they were already quite familiar.
Isabel took the tray and said, "Thank you Rose."
She then stabbed one piece of meat using the small chopsticks with sharp tips and put it into her mouth.
After chewing it, she couldn't help but say, "this is really good."
From her expression, she was clearly telling the truth.
After that, Arthur also started eating.
Of course, while teaching Isabel and Jade, giving them a more detailed explanation of the complicated things in magic.
Jade was worthy as a trained woman.
She had a high level of understanding of everything.
Although she was a bit confused before, but after hearing the explanation from Arthur, she began to understand the spell that Arthur gave her.
Over time, there was even a change in her, vaguely like her Evolver power was being pulled somewhere in her stomach.
When she saw that, Isabel stopped asking Arthur.
She began to observe Jade.
The latter then closed her eyes, beginning to meditate.
Vaguely, the thin spiritual energy in the forest was drawn by her body.
***
The weather in this forest is still warmer than Vera, probably because it is in the central part of Europe where winter will come a little later than the northern part.
Arthur and the others spent a day in the forest.
Although they didn't always stay around the lake, but they didn't go too far either.
Arthur didn't even go anywhere.
For him, time always seemed to fly by when he was just standing still. Before he knew it, the sun was already far in the west.
At this moment, Jade who had been meditating all morning suddenly opened her eyes.
Rumble!
The ground where she was sitting suddenly moved and then some parts of it rose upwards.
That caught everyone's attention.
The mercenaries whispered discussing her strength while Isabel approached her.
"Congratulations, you've finally become a magus," Isabel said to her.
Jade couldn't help but smile as she felt the power in her body.
To her, it was a completely different power to that of the Evolver, and it was a huge difference.
Only now did she realize that Evolver was indeed the weakest path.
"Thank you, madam." She said, still with her usual stiff tone.
Then, she looked at Arthur who also approached her.
She stood up and bowed to him. "Thank you, young master, you have changed my life."
The address she used to call Arthur made Arthur and the others' expressions strange.
To Arthur, it didn't suit him because of his actual age.
Rose and the others, on the other hand, thought it was an overly flowery address.
However, Jade didn't know the right way to address Arthur either.
Calling him boss was very strange to her because right now she was basically working for Isabel.
Therefore, she ended up only being able to use the word young master. She tried to liken him to being from the Big Family.
Arthur chose not to comment on that, nodded to her in response and then looked at her hair.
"As long as you undergo treatment, your hair can return to its original state," he said.
The fact that he commented on her hair was quite surprising to Jade and she was a little embarrassed.
"Hey!" Isabel nudged Arthur's hand.
"Don't comment on other people's hair, it's body shaming," she told him.
"I'm just telling her," Arthur replied.
"And if she's interested, I can help her restore her hair. It only takes a few seconds."
He looked at Jade again and continued, "how, are you interested in having your hair restored?"
Right after she said that, Rose suddenly laughed.
"Jade, I think your face is very pretty, just often covered by your hair. Plus, your body is also sexy, I'm sure it's not hard for you to attract any man."
While saying the last words, Rose glanced at Arthur.
Since she was behind Arthur, so the latter didn't see the movement of her eyes, only Jade did.
Jade probably always acted stiff in front of Isabel and Arthur.
However, she also had a private life.
For example, when Arthur first saw her on Erick's ship at that time, she had a very relaxed demeanor, in contrast to her current attitude.
Basically, she is not a person who is ignorant or without experience in male-female relationships.
She naturally understood the meaning of Rose's words and gaze.
