late at night.

Zach stood in front of the window and looked at the sleepy city.

Behind him, Tyros and Aegas had been waiting for a long time. The other professors had left after reporting on their work, and only the two of them were kept by Zach.

After a long time, Zach, who turned his back to his two people, said slowly:

"Telos, after you become a formal mage, you will be crowned and rule Zakaland on my behalf. Agesa will take over as the dean and continue to assist you."

The two of them were stunned when they heard this, looking at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Tyros hurriedly replied:

"Teacher, do students really not understand? Students have low abilities and are far from enough to take on this important task."

Zach turned around and looked at the two behind him.

"Tyros, do you still remember what this place looked like fifty years ago?"

The old dean was stunned and was a little confused about this question, but he just quickly answered:

"Students naturally remember. Fifty years ago, this place was just a small fishing village in a swamp..." He leaned over and said, "Relying on teachers, this place can only be...

"I know." Zach interrupted Tyros.

He knew what Tyros wanted to say.

It is precisely because of its own arrival that this place has developed into its current prosperity. The establishment of the Mage Tower and the Mage Academy has brought about a convergence of population and trade. Villages have developed into towns, and towns have developed into cities. Today, the Port of Zakaland has become a giant port. Around this capital, the Principality of Zakaland, which now has millions of people, was born.

"Do you still remember what you said to me when I knocked on the gate of my mage tower?"

Tyros was stunned at first, as if he had recalled something, and lowered his head and said, "Student is ashamed."

Zach smiled and continued:

"I still remember that boy with a fishy smell looked up at me and said he wanted to be a mage."

"The student was young at that time, and was really ignorant and fearless, and did not know that the sky was high and the earth was thick." The hunched figure of Tyros seemed to be quiet again.

"I ask why you want to be a mage, want to catch more fish? Want to have enough food and clothing? Want to get a wife? Want to resist the attacks of beasts and robbers for the village? Want to have more wealth? Or do you want to go to the world outside the swamp? You say no."

Zach paused for a moment, as if he had been trapped in a long-standing memory. Aegsha, who was beside him, also raised her ears and listened to this unknown past curiously.

"You said you just want to be a mage, no matter how weak, stupid, incompetent, or crappy it is, as long as......"

"As long as you are a mage," Taros said the second half. He raised his face, his eyes were bright, and there seemed to be a young soul under his old face, and the hesitation that had just disappeared.

Seeing the resolute faces of his students, Zach smiled and said:

“I’m very proud of Zakaland’s development to what he is today.”

"But what really makes me feel that the fishing boy who was the first to have finally grown into a formal mage who can stand alone."

Tyros looked at the teacher in front of him, and the midnight starlight seemed to silhouette the black-haired young man into a statue. He took a deep breath and leaned over and said solemnly: "Students must live up to their trust."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Tyros immediately realized another meaning of this appointment.

"Then... what about you, teacher?"

Zach spread his hands: "Of course I have to continue moving forward, otherwise I will be caught up by you. After you officially take over me, I will embark on the journey again. I will probably return to the Star Shu Magic Ring first and officially register as a hunting master."

Master Hunyuan.

Unlike the arcane mage who has a fixed territory and focuses on research, and also from the war mage who is dedicated to civilized wars, the mage of Hunyuan travels through the endless world.

They collect information from different civilizations, bring back knowledge of rules from different worlds and planes, discover natural resources, and explore a broader colonial space, thereby meeting the development and war needs of the mage civilization.

Master Hunyuan has no fixed territory and residence. They are either traveling in another world or on the way to the next other world. Therefore, Master Hunyuan is also called "Runzhi" in the classical era of the mage civilization.

"Teacher..." Tyros bowed and knelt down on one knee, feeling a lot of emotion.

He actually had a premonition about Zach's decision and understood in his heart that his teacher had made the most rational choice.

Among all mage professions, arcane mages usually advance the slowest. War mages who fight with alien civilizations on the battlefield often advance rapidly, but bear huge risk of casualties.

Tyros had long heard of Zach's deeds decades ago and knew that his teacher could not easily be an ordinary arcane wizard, and his departure from the center to this marginal world reflected his cautious character.

Becoming a Shouyuan Mage with more opportunities for promotion but relatively controllable risks must be the first choice of his teacher.

But the sadness still swallowed the 60-year-old man.

Since he walked into the Mage Tower at the age of fifteen and became Zach's first Mage Apprentice, Tyros has been serving his teacher. Fifty years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Now that the teacher is about to leave, he will definitely not be able to follow himself, and it is inevitable that he will be distinguished.

Tyros felt mixed feelings, but he swallowed the words of retention that he had spoken to, and clenched his trembling hands:

"I wish the teacher a smooth journey. The students believe that the teacher will definitely become the greatest hunting source wizard."

Reassuring his student's reaction and also realizing his sadness, Zach looked out the window and pointed at the stars in the night sky and said:

"You guys have to work hard, one day we will meet again in a certain world. Of course, for Tyros, the first step is to become a formal mage, otherwise everything will be empty talk. Go back and continue meditating and prepare for your promotion ceremony."

"Students understand that students will definitely live up to their trust." Tyros stood up, bowed deeply to Zach, and turned around and retreated.

Before leaving, the old dean winked at Agesha on the side.

When Tyros left, only two people were left in the study.

"Agasha, is there anything else?"

The female mage looked at the back of the black-haired young man in front of the window, opened her mouth several times but wanted to speak but stopped. Just as she mustered up the courage to speak again, she heard Zach say directly:

"no."

Agesha lowered her head in frustration.

"But, I really hope to continue...... and continue to follow you in the teacher!"

Zach turned around and walked slowly to the female mage, looking at the latter's face buried deep in the shadow.

The gaze made Agesha's breath seem to be a little heavier.

Agesha is one of his most proud students. Since joining the academy, she has grown into a high-level trainee wizard in just twelve years. Her talent is rare. Her amazing talent makes her not need to find another way. Even if she follows the rules, becoming a formal wizard is almost certain.

Zach naturally hopes that she can follow the established path and get rid of the fate of ordinary people as soon as possible.

"Zakaland is my foundation, and I need someone to continue to manage it for me. You are the highest-level trainee mage under Tyros. This mage academy needs you, and the millions of people in Zakaland also need your governance."

After saying that, Zach walked out of the study.

Just after walking a few steps, I heard Agesha shouting behind me:

"But! You know, I'm to you..."

He only said half of the words, but it seemed as if he had used all the courage of the female mage.

Zach looked back and happened to meet Agesha's eyes mixed with expectations and fear. Her beautiful face was hazy and gentle under the night. She turned her head in panic, and her long silver hair, like a waterfall, slid from behind her ears to her forehead, and was dyed with a faint fluorescent light by the stars outside the window.

Long-lasting silence.

"When you grow into a formal mage..." Zach's voice was gentler than ever before. "...Come to me."

"I...I will..." Aegas shouted.
