The Wave made its way across the vast ocean, with many people gathered on the deck to gaze into the distance.
As night fell, the crowd on the deck gradually dwindled.
Yet, there was one place on board where people were always plentiful — the bar.
In the Wave’s bar at this very moment.
“Clink! ”
Milton Cheney raised his glass and clinked it against the man’s across from him, producing a crisp sound.
The bar undoubtedly was a great place where you could gather countless pieces of information that you wouldn’t normally know.
The Wave has been sailing for over a week. Milton spent most of these days staying in his cabin; the rest of the time, he spent at the bar.
In merely over a week, Milton had heard more gossip than he knew what to do with.
While most of it was useless junk, a fair share of the information proved to be quite valuable.
“My apologies for being late, Nicholas. Mutz has been keeping me company,
I’m sure you understand.”
Finn, seated across Milton, raised an eyebrow, took a sip from his glass, and wore a smug expression.
Having a woman fall for him in just over a week was something he deemed worth bragging about.
Particularly impressive was doing so in front of the man before him, who always seemed unfazed. It gave him a strange sense of accomplishment. It was as if to say, “See, there’s something you’re not better at than me.” Milton took a sip from his glass and set it down, a peculiar look flickered in his eyes.
“Finn, I don’t think Mutz was a good choice.”
“Oh, Nicholas, you’re just jealous, aren’t you? I think I’ve fallen in love with Mutz. She’s so gentle, so…”
Observing the elated Finn before him, Milton decided it was best not to burst his bubble.
He didn’t tell him the real Mutz was an old lady, nor did he inform him that Mutz was old enough to be his grandmother.
You think you played her, but her game is several levels beyond yours.
Milton only hoped that poor Finn wouldn’t be conned out of his money after falling for her charm.
Finn did not come from the Violet Continent. He had come to Violet Continent for some reasons, and now he was about to leave.
Milton didn’t inquire about what these reasons might be since Finn didn’t offer the information.
Compared to Milton, who was a stranger to the Corner Sea Continent, Finn was incredibly familiar with it.
After all, it was where he had spent his entire life.
“We stopped at which part yesterday? I introduced a few islands on the edge of the Corner Sea Continent, right?”
“In my advice, you should just come with me to Creton Island. Our family is the big fish over there.”
Milton knew Finn came from a family on an island on the outskirts of the Corner Sea Continent, but he didn’t know much about that family.
“I’ll consider it.”
Milton replied casually as he sipped his drink. Finn understood that it was just a courtesy response and didn’t insist on the matter.
“What else do you want to know? Information about wizard organizations in the Corner Sea Continent? Or where the best place to live in the Corner Sea Continent is?”
Finn, knowing that Milton could find this information with ease once he arrived at the Corner Sea Continent, didn’t mind sharing it with him.
Milton, of course, wanted to know everything, but he would have plenty of time to learn in the future.
As the two of them chatted and drank, it was mostly Finn doing the talking and Milton doing the listening.
Milton would nod in understanding from time to time. If he had any questions, he would ask straight away. As long as the topics didn’t involve personal issues, Finn was open to sharing.
Of course, if some things involved too many secrets, Finn would promptly change the subject. Milton, for his part, would just laugh it off.
“Lord Wizard Auer’s power extends across the entire Corner Sea Continent. It’s not an exaggeration to say that the whole continent is his territory.”
“In the Corner Sea Continent, you can pick a fight with anyone from any wizard organization, but you must never provoke the Radiant Academy.”
When it came to the single Level 3 wizard in the Corner Sea Continent, there was reverence in Finn’s voice.
Contrary to other continents, the Corner Sea Continent is virtually under the control of Auer alone.
The ‘Radiant Academy of Wizards’ , which he controls, is the largest wizard organization in the Corner Sea Continent, and stands as the sole kingpin.
All the wizard organizations in other continents combined could not even match up to half of the ‘Radiant Academy’.
Not only are the branches of the Radiant Academy spread across the whole continent, but all other wizard organizations on the Corner Sea Continent are also required to pay a substantial number of magic stones to the ‘Radiant Academy’ each year.
“So, don’t the other wizarding organizations feel unhappy about this?” Milton asked quietly.
Hearing this question, Finn’s expression became somewhat complicated.
He could now see that Milton was indeed traveling to the Corner Sea Continent for the first time.
Milton had no idea how significant the Radiant Academy was in the Corner Sea Continent.
“How could they not? But Lord Wizard Auer is extraordinary. When he first took over the Corner Sea Continent, there were more and stronger wizard organizations on the continent than there are now.”
“However, as for the final outcome, well, you know.”
Finn shrugged, wearing an expression that suggested Milton should figure it out for himself.
Milton nodded.
Even if Finn didn’t say it outright, Milton could guess that the situation likely involved these wizard organizations allying to go against Auer, who ultimately handed them a severe defeat.
Right now, Milton’s understanding of wizards’ abilities was admittedly only superficial.
Of course, Milton knew that a Level 3 Wizard was powerful—that was practically a given, everyone knew that Level 3 Wizards were powerful.
But just how powerful?
Milton didn’t know, in fact, he was entirely unfamiliar..
