Chapter 6
The Port of Zelat
Half a month later, Green and his group finally arrived at the famous port of Zerato.
Now, Green's group has gained another wizard apprentice named Bing Johnson, who was selected by the wizard Arowawaz from thousands of people in the previous two cities and was deemed qualified to be a wizard apprentice.
However, this guy turned out to be a chatterbox, and unfortunately, Green got bogged down by him.
The cause is very simple.
When the city of Tambrosen was taking the wizard apprentice qualification test, this guy was identified as having the qualifications of a wizard apprentice by the wizard Arowoz in front of everyone. He immediately caused a huge uproar, shouting and yelling with joy, which completely destroyed the originally quiet and solemn atmosphere. He didn't even hear the wizard telling him to be quiet.
Left with no other option, Green, who was closest to him, stopped his excited behavior and made him stand next to him.
But this very action has nearly cost Green his life these past few days; Green even suspects he might die from a ruptured eardrum.
"Shh, I'll tell you a secret, but don't tell anyone, Shirley actually has a birthmark on her butt. I saw it with my own eyes when I watched her take a shower from the roof of her house, haha. I've only told John and Aaron this secret... You're the twenty-seventh, so don't tell anyone else."
Binghamson's voice was devastating beside Green.
Since Binghamson joined the team seven days ago, Green has heard at least a hundred similar secrets. And he's been so loud that almost the whole team can hear him. I really don't know what Green has to keep secret.
Moreover, Green didn't know any of the people involved in all his secrets, so naturally he had no interest in them whatsoever.
Green casually asked, "And who is Shirley?"
Bingham looked utterly astonished: "You don't even know who Shirley is? Shirley is the little lover of Badara that I told you about the other day!"
Green was speechless. In fact, he wanted to ask again, who exactly was Badara?
But in the end, Green didn't dare to ask again, and pretended to understand completely, nodding as if he suddenly realized something.
Green felt that if he asked again today, he would be in trouble; his head was buzzing and he was completely dazed.
Zelato Harbor is one of the four major harbors on Dongshanhu Island. It is very prosperous, with a constant flow of people and hundreds of ships docked in the harbor, including some ocean-going vessels that are hundreds of meters long.
"Wow, is this the port of Zerato? This is my first time here."
"I'm so excited," Lafite said.
The two-week journey had allowed Raffi to temporarily forget the unpleasantness of his upcoming trip to the Wizarding Continent, and he felt somewhat delighted as he gazed at the numerous ships on the sea.
Raffi was extremely tall and slender, standing at about 1.75 meters, roughly the same height as Green.
At this moment, Raffi closed her eyes, opened her arms to the sea, and a belt tied around her waist, highlighting her graceful and alluring figure. This immediately stunned the boys present for a moment, and Green even heard Wade swallowing his saliva in front of him.
Even Green himself felt his heart skip a beat.
Just then, a sudden sound shattered the tranquility, and Green, Wade, and Kirum cursed inwardly.
"Ah... Raffi, I've finally realized that you are the goddess of love I've been waiting for all this time. You are the guiding light of my life and the final destination of my destiny. Your beauty captivates me. I am willing to protect you for all eternity and even die for you. Ah... please, save me from this sea of suffering!"
Everyone looked over and saw Bingham looking at Raffi with deep affection.
The way he looked was so embarrassing, I can't even describe it...

Green couldn't help but slap his forehead. Had this guy gone mad?
Who is Lafite that he dares to mess with him?!
Even the others couldn't help but look on with anticipation for a good show. However, the shy little girl, Yorkriana, covered her mouth and stared at the scene in astonishment, seemingly finding this legendary "public confession" unbelievable.
Sure enough, Raffi turned around, and after a slight look of surprise, he stared at Bingham with a gloomy expression.
The secrets that Bing Johnson has been telling Green these past few days...
"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph... Saving you, fine!"
Raffi muttered something to himself, then pointed at the deeply infatuated and affectionate Bingham. Immediately, a vine sprouted from Bingham's feet, wrapping around him seven or eight times, binding him tightly and completely restraining him.
"witchcraft!"
Several wizard apprentices exclaimed in surprise, unable to believe that Raffi could actually perform witchcraft.
"Waaah..."
Bin Johnson, bound by vines, wanted to say something, but the vines silenced his mouth, turning his voice into muffled sobs.
Many people at the port were surprised to see a vine suddenly appear and bind a person, and they gathered around to watch, pointing and whispering.
Lafite was secretly pleased with himself.
She has two magical artifacts, both of which her father found at great cost. The magic spell she just cast was activated by using her own magic power to trigger the magical earring.
Green and his companions had never been exposed to any magical artifacts, nor did they possess any basic knowledge of wizardry. Raffi's sudden use of magic and sorcery truly startled them.
By reading "Guided Meditation," Green learned that the most basic condition for casting any magic spell is to have magic power, and that magic power is determined by the level of each person's mental strength.
Green had been trying to meditate and condense magic power these past few days, but had never succeeded. He never expected that Raffi would be able to cast magic spells.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Raffi wasn't some commoner. With her family's arrangements, she should have already been exposed to some wizarding knowledge, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to throw out that book, "Hunter's Nose Modification and Scent Atlas."
A moment later, Raffi withdrew the spell, and the vines disappeared.
The group continued to follow Arowoz on their journey, and just then, a group of thirteen knights rushed over and took the initiative to greet the wizard Arowoz.
"Welcome back to Zerato Port, Your Excellency Wizard. The Duke has prepared a feast."
The lead knight, mounted on his warhorse, spoke respectfully to Arowoz.
"Um."
After giving a casual reply, Arowoz led a group of seven wizard apprentices away with the knights, and the discussions of the common people and merchants in the surrounding port were of no interest to them.
The banquet was very grand, but for everyone, unless they were traveling, there would be a sumptuous banquet in every city they arrived at, so they had already begun to get used to it. Even Green had learned some aristocratic etiquette and was familiar with socializing with the other people who came to the banquet.
This Duke is clearly different from the Marquises of the previous cities; he holds a higher position and seems to be acquainted with Arowoz.
The rare beef, sliced thinly and still dripping with blood, was casually dipped by the Duke in caviar and wasabi before being put directly into his mouth, where he savored it.
Arrowze, standing nearby, seemed to have little appetite, casually stirring the soup in his dish with a delicate metal ladle, causing some colorful mushrooms to rise to the surface.
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
The Duke noticed something was off about Arrowworth and joked.
Shaking his head, Arowoz sighed, "It's getting more and more chaotic over there, with frequent reports of wizards disappearing. Maybe you were right back then, after all, no matter how chaotic it is over there, it shouldn't affect us here."
The Duke scoffed, "How can you compare me to you? I only came here to enjoy my leisure because I had no hope of advancing. You, on the other hand, still have a long way to go to reach a higher level."
After speaking, the Duke put another slice of beef into his mouth.
"Looking at how excited these little ones are reminds me of myself back then. I wonder how many people will still be on the path of wizardry decades from now. If someone is lucky enough to become a wizard a hundred years from now, I wonder if they will come back for a look."
Arowoz glanced at the seven wizard apprentices who were eating and socializing with the local young nobles, and shook his head.
"What's so special about East Coral Island? By the way, which wizard came to pick up these little guys this time?"
"Dila".
The Duke answered casually.
"That guy? Hmm, these kids should have an easier time these next two months. After all, the benefits for wizard apprentices at Lilith Hut are pretty good compared to other wizarding academies, unlike the Dark Wizard Academy where the competition isn't as fierce."
As soon as he finished speaking, Arowoz continued, "I plan to go and take a look at the Underworld. It's said that the wizards there have discovered a new rift in the world..."
After the banquet, Green was taken by servants from the Duke's manor to a quiet estate.
Not only Green, but all seven other wizard apprentices received the same treatment, since many apprentices had to wait in the harbor for a full seven days.
Seven days later, a special ship from Lilith Hut Wizarding Academy will pick everyone up.
Opening the window, a sea breeze carrying a slightly fishy smell blew in. The sea was only 300 meters away from the manor, and below the window was a steep stone wall, about 70 or 80 meters high.
"Ah, Wizarding World..."
Green sighed. The more information he learned about the Wizarding Continent from Raffi, the more nervous he became. Raffi described it as a terrifying slaughterhouse overrun by wizards. No wonder Raffi was so reluctant to go in the first place.
Shaking his head, Green closed the window. The sea breeze was a bit cold and damp at night.
Walking to the side of the room, after lighting all the exquisite candles, Green took out the book "Guided Meditation" and began to study it again.
In recent days, Green has made some progress in figuring out how to convert mental energy into magic of a corresponding level, and perhaps he should take advantage of these seven quiet days to study it carefully.
Now, Green's group has gained another wizard apprentice named Bing Johnson, who was selected by the wizard Arowawaz from thousands of people in the previous two cities and was deemed qualified to be a wizard apprentice.
However, this guy turned out to be a chatterbox, and unfortunately, Green got bogged down by him.
