Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

In fact, the Wandering Bard was a third-level Wizard Apprentice who specialized in human transformation and had long coveted certain special methods of animal and plant transformation within the Druid Circle. Find more to read at empire

However, the other party mistook the Trial Book for a blank diary.

Therefore, when Rein got it, he discovered that it contained many negative energies and natural witchcraft-related methods of animal and plant transformation.

After obtaining this information, the Wizard Apprentice sold Darien Yueling to an imperial noble of the Dragan Empire, but later it was heard that Darien had escaped. However, when people from the Druid Circle went to track her down, they were unable to find her.

It was not until Anna last triggered the amulet, that Delana sensed something because it was crafted by her own hands and given to her sister, Darien, as a gift.

If Rein heard this segment, he would undoubtedly curse out loud, "Bastard!"

Not only did he deceive for lust, but he also made his own woman steal from her family...

But the worst part was, after using her, he even sold his own woman!

Such scum to the extreme!

"Aunt Delanna, where is my mother now...?" Anna couldn't help but ask nervously.

"I don't know, however... the one capable of hiding Darien and blocking our search, must be a high noble of the Dragan Empire,"

"Because I've heard that these high nobles as the upper echelons of the empire, many of them fancy exotic beauties, especially Elf beauties."

"From this angle, I think Darien should currently be safe."

Anna, after hearing this, nodded.

However, when she learned that her mother was likely still alive and not in danger, she couldn't help but feel somewhat relieved.

No wonder, there was a time when she and her mother lived a life of constant upheaval.

Her mother must have been evading the pursuit of some high noble... but in the end, it seems she couldn't escape.

At this moment, Delana said, "So, child, it's dangerous for you to be alone in the empire, come back with me to the Druid Circle now."

"Ah? This..." Anna hesitated for a moment.

Delana continued, "As a half-Elf, you need the power to protect yourself even more."

"Child, you are at the age where your strength can grow the fastest; we need to hurry back to the Druid Circle and make up for the time you've lost. Do you understand?"

After thinking it over, Anna nodded!

Indeed, she had always been in need of protection.

If she could possess enough power, how wonderful that would be!

"Aunt Delana, I'll go with you to the Druid Circle, but..."

Anna looked at the Trial Book in Delana's hands, which had now returned to its rightful owner, her eyes shimmering slightly. She knew Rein was very interested in some of its contents.

After stammering for a bit, Anna asked, "Aunt Delana, may I copy down the contents on the Trial Book about Beast Taming and animal and plant transformation?"

"Hmm? You... you intend to give it to that young man named... Rein?" Delana quickly grasped Anna's intention and suddenly looked at her newly found niece with a complex expression on her face.

"Yes!" Anna nodded emphatically.

Alright then...

Delana thought, innocent niece, do you have any idea the young man you like, he...

In a flash, Delana's mind conjured up the images she saw in Rein's room the night before... which were capable of making one's cheeks flush and heart race...

"Aunt Delana, why are you looking at me with such a strange look?" Anna keenly noticed that when she mentioned wanting to leave it for Rein, Aunt Delana's look suddenly became... very complicated.

How to say it... It seemed to contain sympathy, pity, and many other emotions.

"Anna, do you like Rein?" Delana asked very directly this time.

"Ah? No... not at all, it's just that Rein saved me..." Anna blushed, lowered her head, and told Delana the whole story of how Rein saved her from the two wanted criminals.

"So that's how it is." Delana softened her gaze when she heard Rein had saved Anna.

A hero saving the 'princess' from villains, such a familiar and beautiful scenario; no wonder Anna's heart was moved.

Furthermore, Delana immediately thought of the Blood Flesh Sproutling in the broken temple, which died to fire witchcraft, although the fog was too dense for her to see clearly how Rein had killed the Blood Flesh Sproutling.

But now, thinking it through, this young Knight might not be so simple.

His killing of the Blood Flesh Sproutling was likely not dependent on a fire witchcraft scroll, but on his own understanding of witchcraft.

A Knight and a Wizard Apprentice both?

An impressive young man indeed.

"Alright, Anna, the knowledge recorded here has already been modified by that despicable Wizard Apprentice, so copying it down wouldn't be breaking the rules of the Druid Circle,"

"Besides this, I will also leave a piece of fire witchcraft 'Incandescent Light', which I accidentally acquired, for your 'good friend' Rein, as a token of thanks for saving you."

Saying so, Delana performed imprinting magic to transfer the contents recorded in the Trial Book onto a stack of paper. Meanwhile, she took out a leather scroll and handed it to Anna.

Anna, after taking them, excitedly said, "Ah? That's great! Thank you, Aunt Delana. I... I'll write a letter to Rein; please wait for a moment."
