"Apprentice?"
Hearing Rocis's words, Freyja's expression changed slightly, but she quickly composed herself.
"I'm sorry, Lord Sis, he is my child. If he is to be an apprentice, he will be part of my Black Forest Family!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Rocis smiled faintly, spreading his hands. "You see, Ms. Freya, I have always been alone in my life, and at two hundred years old, I still show no signs of advancement. I simply want to find an heir for the knowledge I learned from my teacher. Are you really going to refuse this?"
As he spoke, he leaned slightly forward, casting a tall shadow that completely enveloped Freyja.
"And I can also give up the dagger in your hand, and you will gain my friendship. What do you say?"
Watching Rocis approach slowly, Freyja instinctively took a step back. The unique mental pressure from the wizard made her feel an overwhelming sense of danger.
Just as she was contemplating how to escape this crisis, a low growl resembling that of a beast suddenly erupted from behind her.
Immediately, a black shadow lunged directly at Rocis.
Bang!!
A violent impact sound suddenly erupted in front of Rocis.
Before him, a strange beast-like creature was fiercely stabbing its sharp claws toward Rocis's neck but was stopped by an invisible membrane.
The creature appeared to be a white humanoid figure with white fur drenched by the rain, its orange-yellow slit pupils fixed intently on the wizard before it, exuding an unwavering determination.
"No!! Del!!" Seeing the figure rushing forward, Freyja screamed in terror.
Rocis was startled by this sudden turn of events; however, when he saw the creature resembling a white lion before him, he burst into an inexplicable laugh.
"Indeed! It really is the Forest Hunter, Tros Clan! Great! Today is truly my lucky day!"
The missed attack from Del instinctively made him retreat, and then he pounced again on all fours!
'Bang!!!!!!!'
A more intense sound of impact than before, yet it was still blocked by that thin membrane.
Feeling the solidity of his Defensive Spell, Rocis glanced at Freyja, who was already slumped on the deck.
"I never expected that Ms. Freya from the Black Forest would give birth to a child of an outsider. Heh, well then, I will keep this secret for you for a lifetime."
He whispered a spell. Suddenly, he reached out his hand toward Del, who was still trying to pounce.
'Swish!'
A massive blue hand appeared out of nowhere, directly grasping Del's body.
Controlling the Wizard's Hand to bring Del closer, Rocis's face increasingly showed a greedy expression.
"According to Tros's blood, after processing, it can increase the chances of promotion. However, due to the natural hunter's Spell resistance and innate stealth ability, very few Tros Clan members have been successfully captured. I never expected that just when I was about to give up hope, I would encounter such good fortune. This is truly..."
In his excitement, he even actively created a hole in his Defensive Spell and reached out to stroke the soft fur and pointed ears of Del.
For safety's sake, just as he was about to knock out Del, who had transformed into a white lion cub,
Del's body suddenly trembled in the grip of the Wizard's Hand. In his orange-yellow slit pupils, a flash of Azure Light flickered, and a low growl escaped from his throat.
"Ugh..."
"Hmm?" Rocis paused slightly and then felt his Wizard's Hand's Spell Model suddenly tremble.
A loud bang echoed.
The originally blue Wizard's Hand suddenly shattered, scattering the Mental Field and clearing a large area of the rain curtain around it.
Rocis was momentarily stunned by this sudden turn of events. Just then, he felt a tight grip around his neck; a sharp Claw was pressing against it, but it was blocked by a faint layer of yellow light.
"What? My defensive spell!?"
Rocis looked in shock at the young lion cub in front of him, who was trying to pierce his neck. Anger surged from deep within him, prompting him to extend his right hand.
After a brief pause, a flash of red lightning burst forth from his hand.
Bang!!
Del had no time to react before being blasted away, crashing directly into Freyja behind him.
A mass of red lightning danced across the deck and through the rain curtain, with puffs of white steam slowly rising from both of them.
With cold eyes fixed on the twitching bodies of the two, Rocis shook his right hand and strode forward.
"To dare attack a wizard! Damn it! I've changed my mind; I will dissect you and turn you into a specimen! Damn beast!!"
The boy, who had been knocked unconscious by the lightning, began to retract his white fur back into his body, gradually returning to a human form. Meanwhile, the apprentice-level Freyja was charred black on one side, clearly having weak resistance to the Official Wizard's Spell.
Looking at Freyja lying on the ground, barely alive, Rocis frowned slightly. After a moment's thought, a cruel glint appeared in his eyes as he slowly drew a silver Scimitar from his Robe.
"As long as I handle this cleanly, they won't be able to trace it back to me in the Black Forest for some time. Forget it; I'll disembark at the next stop—Tros's Bloodline."
The Scimitar sliced through the rain curtain and was about to strike down on Freyja's head when—
Clang!!!
The sound of metal shattering suddenly echoed beneath the Scimitar, halting his slash.
A standard Cross Sword appeared before him at some point, held by a handsome woman with a gentle smile.
"Mr. Rocis, do you not understand the principle of precedence?"
A powerful Mental Field radiated from the woman.
"Hmm?"
Rocis followed the line of the Cross Sword to look at her. Although it was just a hasty strike, someone who could block it so easily must also be an Official Wizard.
However, when he clearly saw her face, she seemed surprisingly unfamiliar.
Furrowing his brow and not retracting the Scimitar, he spoke directly.
"My lady, what do you mean by this? Also, how do you know my name?" (To be continued...)
