Mr. Wenster was a very elegant gentleman. He wore a wool coat and a gold-inlaid monocle on his left eye. The lens was polished from some kind of gem and shone beautifully under the sun.
He ordered a glass of wine and leisurely read a book in the afternoon sun.
In this noisy tavern, he seemed out of place.
Levi ordered two cups of Nameless Wine.
He arrived in front of Mr. Wenster.
Wenster looked at the brawny man who had suddenly appeared and frowned.
Levi tried his best to put on a friendly smile.
“Sir, do you mind if I sit here?” Levi said politely.
“As you wish, sir.” Wenster shook his head.
He continued to drink and focused on his affairs.
“My name is White Wolf Geralt. Your Excellency Wenster, would you mind coming to the private room to talk about something?” Levi changed the topic and whispered to Wenster.
Wenster’s expression changed slightly.
He didn’t know how this White Wolf Geralt knew his name, but from the looks of it, he was here for him.
“Don’t worry, I have no ill intentions.” Levi shrugged and said.
Wenster nodded and followed Levi to the private room.
“Geralt is a fake name, right?” Wenster suddenly said after entering the private room.
“Wenster isn’t real either, right? Mr. Wenster?” Levi said with a faint smile.
The corner of Wenster’s eyes slightly changed. He took a sip of wine and said lightly, “Let’s go, let’s talk somewhere else. This isn’t the place to talk.”
“Sure.”
Levi wrapped his robe tightly and followed Wenster out of the Shining Tavern.
As for the Four Generals of the MO family, they had already been hidden by Levi in the wilderness.
After all, they were going to meet the real four great families. Levi, being an impostor, naturally did not dare to bring them along.
Following a winding path, Levi accompanied Wenster to a secluded mansion. After ensuring that there were no followers, Wenster poured some of his homemade grape wine for Levi and said, “You must have come here for wizard matters.”
Levi nodded in agreement. “It seems I’m not the first one to come looking for you.”
Wenster nodded back, saying, “Of course, you are not the first one to come seeking wizard. Although our family usually takes the initiative to search for potential wizards, there are times when powerful individuals, like yourself, come knocking on our doors.”
Levi inquired, “So, how can I become a wizard?”
“Don’t worry, I need to conduct some necessary tests on you,” Wenster replied. He retrieved a diamond-shaped stone from his home, similar to the one owned by Tuten, the Heart of Aether, used to test a person’s wizard talent.
Under Wenster’s guidance, Levi underwent the test again, and the results were the same as before, affinity with Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, all four elements.
“Children of Chaos…” Wenster’s eyes showed a tinge of disappointment.
“Sigh, what was I expecting? Children of the Elements are already extremely rare existences. However, there is still a chance for a Child of Chaos to become an official wizard. It’s just that the hope is a bit slim,” Wenster sighed internally.
As the successor of the Winchester Family, his responsibility was to seek out potential wizard talents in the capital. Over the decades he had been doing this work, he had encountered only one Child of the Elements. Each time he discovered a Child of the Elements, he would receive rewards from the official wizards.
Unfortunately, finding a Child of the Elements was more a matter of luck than anything else.
“Do I have very poor talent?” Levi looked at Wenster’s expression and asked the obvious.
“It’s already good enough to possess talent. After all, I don’t even have the talent to become a wizard, so I can only pass my days in this mortal world,” Wenster replied with a bitter smile.
“Then when can I enter the wizard world?”Levi asked. He had been waiting for this moment for too long.
“There’s no problem with the test. However, the official wizard responsible for guiding you is currently occupied. Let’s wait a little longer. During this time, we have already gathered a group of potential wizards and when the official wizard is available, they will take you into the world of wizards,” Wenster said.
He continued, “By the way, I can sense that your spiritual power is different from ordinary people. You must have practiced Meditation Art, right?”
“Yes, that’s correct. Is there a problem?” Levi inquired, surprised that this person could discern such details. But then he realized that being perceptive was a natural trait for someone in Wenster’s line of work.
“It’s nothing significant. It’s just that some wizards prefer individuals who have not learned other Meditation Arts. They favor a blank slate, so to speak. Of course, some don’t mind this at all,” Wenster explained.
Levi had not expected these intricacies, and Tuten hadn’t mentioned them either.
“Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal. In any case, being a wizard apprentice with the skill level of a grand knight is highly sought after in the wizarding world. Having a solid foundation is much better than being a complete novice,” Wensite reassured.
“As for the official wizard’s arrival, let me show you something.” Wenster smiled and took out a blood-red paper with some runes inscribed on it. In the corner, there was a tiny Winchester family emblem.
Seeing the blood-red paper, Levi realized that the Duke of Montenegro also desired to become a wizard. But given his age, Levi wondered if any wizards would even be interested in him..
