I heard Lady Amy say that the teacher brought it from elsewhere. It’s already hatched, and after some time for cultivation, it will be ready for use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s really the Red-eyed Crow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve never seen this kind of Magic Creature before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The book says Red-eyed Crows can spot prey hundreds of kilometers away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That incredible? Then I must find a Red-eyed Crow as my Magical Pet in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomers buzzed with conversation, filled with curiosity about the Red-eyed Crow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having just come into contact with Wizarding knowledge, everything fascinated them at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherman chuckled, \"Then you all have to work hard. You need to be a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice to contract a Magical Pet. You’ve got a long way to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Senior Sherman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomers stood tall and appeared very confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherman and Attila watched, both feeling a little sentimental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These newcomers were so confident because they hadn’t yet suffered the harshness of cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they meditate for some time, they will realize how difficult it is to build a star ring and enhance Spiritual Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have been Level 1 Wizard Apprentices for over two years now, and yet they haven’t even built the third star ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Spiritual Power is still far below the standards for a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Promotion seems a distant hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more they practice, the more they understand how challenging it is to enhance their powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they admire and respect the teacher all the more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Amy mentioned that the teacher took just about a year to become a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their advancement was so rapid that it was beyond their reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Lord is here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Sherman’s contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up to see Marquis Kei entering the hall with the bride, both smiling broadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their splendid attire was adorned with jewels and precious embroidery, the bride also wore a crown, which enhanced her beauty, capturing everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The bride is gorgeous,\" Attila couldn’t help but exclaim, her eyes slightly glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherman smiled, just about to tease her, when he suddenly noticed a figure beside him in his peripheral vision. He turned his head and his expression suddenly became solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cole, Attila, and the newcomers also noticed Sunan, and they all bowed in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many nobles were immediately drawn by the commotion there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Sunan, their eyes lit up, eager to strike up a conversation, but since the main event had begun, they had to put the thought on hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall quickly quieted down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan watched the newcomers at the center of the hall with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, there was no church, so the wedding ceremony was not held in a chapel, nor did it require oath exchanges or rings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire wedding ceremony was more like a celebratory banquet, solemn yet lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan thought this was quite nice, without so many formal procedures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some speeches and blessings, the banquet officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People started clinking glasses, chatting, and laughing jubilantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several nobles were ready to find Sunan for a conversation, but when they turned, they were surprised to find Sunan had already vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the young apprentices had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of disappointment spread among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the reception room behind the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan relaxedly leaned back on the sofa, sipping his drink leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Kei came in, and upon seeing him like this, couldn’t help but laugh, \"I knew you’d be here. Why didn’t you stay a little longer? Quite a few people are here today for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan shrugged silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was aware of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, knowing was one thing, but Sunan had no interest in polite exchanges with those people. He had the privilege not to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the bride? Are you just going to leave her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Sunan change the subject, Kei didn’t mind, laughing as he sat down on the sofa and poured himself a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She went to rest. Being an eighteen-year-old girl, it’s been a long day for her and she’s exhausted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan raised an eyebrow, \"A weak constitution isn’t good; it’s bad for gene inheritance. Give her more Dragon Blood Fruit later on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gene inheritance manifested more evidently in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children of Knights had better potential and were more likely to become Knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one’s parents were Great Knights, then advancing to a Knight was almost a certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legendary Knights didn’t even need mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, noble families with centuries-long heritages often produced strong descendants, continuously churning out Knights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a manifestation of genetic enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If both parents were Knights, the likelihood of their children becoming Knights was almost seventy to eighty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, there were very few female Knights in this era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noble ladies focused more on poise and social skills, learning to sing, play musical instruments, and table manners, possibly including court dancing and horse riding, but not emphasizing martial skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t matter; if martial skills were lacking, improving physical fitness would suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with Dragon Blood Fruit around, significantly enhancing physical fitness in a short time was not difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted casually for a while, then the topic shifted to the current situation of the Starfire Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Currently, the Starfire Sect’s spreading progress is most successful in Red Leaf Province and Ranshuang Province.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The former has the endorsement of a Grand Duke, hardly meeting any resistance from top to bottom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The latter is currently rebuilding; the people, cold and hungry, can easily convert to followers with a little food from the Starfire Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for Hulan Province, Soman Province, and Zizhu Province, although they haven’t expressed support for spreading the Starfire Sect’s faith, they also haven’t shown clear obstruction. They probably are still observing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kei didn’t mention White Tower Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, from the Marquis of the White Tower’s decision to marry into his family, the attitude was self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need time to accumulate strength, but we can’t just let the Starfire Sect expand unchecked. Do you have any good ideas?\" Kei asked solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan pondered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t interfere with other provinces’ land yet, thereby unable to disrupt the Starfire Sect’s operations there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only feasible way was to unite with White Tower Province, prohibiting the Starfire Sect’s entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it’s not as though they don’t have other potential methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Rock Province can’t be relied upon, but don’t they still have the dense forest cabin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps they could start there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll think of a way for this matter,\" Sunan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Sunan’s words, Kei’s expression softened considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always had great confidence in Sunan, and since Sunan said so, he must have had a plan in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock, knock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A knocking sound suddenly struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened, and Brad quickly walked in, his expression somewhat stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Kei, Sir Sunan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After greeting them, Brad reported in a solemn voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The patrol team has reported intelligence that a village about ten kilometers north of the city has vanished!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kei’s expression tightened, \"Have they figured out what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The team reported that they found many traces of beasts’ claws and bites at the scene, as well as a large amount of remaining blood. Initial guesses are that a beast group attacked the village, killed everyone, and dragged the bodies away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A beast group?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kei frowned, appearing puzzled and uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beast group attacks on villages were not uncommon, but making an entire village disappear without even a single person escaping to give a warning was quite incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How large would the beast group have to be to accomplish such a feat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experiencing such an incident on a day of great celebration put Kei in a foul mood. He frowned and commanded, \"Take a team to investigate, and find the culprit responsible for attacking the village!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brad replied with solemn reverence, then swiftly left to organize a team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of all times for something like this to happen...\" Kei sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan stood up, patted Kei on the shoulder, consoling, \"Finish the wedding first, we’ll address other things tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kei nodded, returning to the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the main figure today and couldn’t be absent for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunan moved to the window, gazing toward the northern direction, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A beast group, huh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1407,"2026-06-06T02:33:43.453Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e4f6a325841fca10b75df7a3cc53aaee44f5292fd08e94cfc9d503f0b035db0","synthetic-wizard-chapter-112","synthetic-wizard-chapter-110",369,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsynthetic-wizard-cover.jpg"]
