Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 552 - 550: Family Territory

Chapter 552: Chapter 550: Family Territory

On the second floor of the Lanson, a group of five entered a small reception room and met the person they had long been waiting for. As Suna had analyzed, this venerable figure was astonishingly young, appearing only about a decade older than themselves.

However, there was something about the man that made them unable to meet his gaze directly, as if his presence was more befitting of a deity dwelling in the heavens.

“Rise.”

Observing the few who were respectfully kneeling before him, Sorcerer Ivan could sense that these individuals were indeed young descendants of the Marichadon family.

His words seemed to carry a magical force; as soon as he spoke, the five involuntarily stood up, each standing straight but still not daring to look at him.

“Once you reach Rainbow Territory, resources will be plentiful. I hope you guard against arrogance and haste and advance quickly to become official sorcerers.”

“We will heed your command,” they replied.

Ivan was far beyond the level of apprentices. Without asking anything further, he simply uttered a few words and then dismissed the group.

Shortly after, Justine escorted the group out and then returned.

“Ivan, I thought you were going to give them a proper lesson.”

“There’s no need,” he stated.

“True,” Justine acknowledged, “Simply seeing you has inspired them greatly. They are all eager to become official sorcerers as soon as possible, especially the girl named ‘Suna.'”

Hearing Justine’s words, Ivan could not deny them.

With his current status, merely agreeing to meet with them was a great favor; benefits awaited them, but whether they could seize the opportunity depended on their capabilities.

If they couldn’t even become official sorcerers, there was no need for them to appear before him again in the future.

“Justine, have you decided what path you will take from now on?”

“I’ll follow your lead.”

“Then pick up your knight training as soon as possible, though you must not neglect your sorcerer training either.”

“Alright, I’ll ask Angie or Tanaya to teach me.”

Compared to the five who had just left, Justine’s talent was more of a concern. Her promotion to official sorcerer had mostly been facilitated by Ivan’s help; thinking in the long term, Ivan was inclined to have her switch to a different training path.

While Justine was not particularly enthusiastic about training, she knew who had her best interests at heart and didn’t protest.

Moreover, only by diligently training to reach a higher level of strength could she stay by Ivan’s side for the long run; she had no reason to object.

Elsewhere,

As the apparent ‘Mrs. Marichadon,’ Tanaya had already taken charge of the new territory—Rainbow Territory, leading the vigorous construction efforts there.

Due to Tanaya’s unique status, she was constantly accompanied by two major guards: Gerry and Hotter.

As Ivan’s good friend, Hotter felt obliged to contribute since he was present. Therefore, he arranged a group of laborers for Tanaya.

With the increase in manpower, the construction of the Rainbow Territory progressed rapidly, aptly described as advancing a thousand miles a day.

Soon enough, the territory was filled with sorcerer towers, high towers, manors, palaces, traveling palaces, academies, castles, beast enclosures, and mines. These structures were systematically distributed across various areas, making the Rainbow Territory well-planned.

“Tanaya, are you really willing to follow Ivan’s orders so obediently?”

“With my status, whose commands could I possibly listen to if not his?”

“Goodness, you’re really sacrificing yourself here.”

“What else can I do?”

Hotter, out of options and initially planning to bring some joy to Ivan, was unexpectedly rendered speechless after such a statement, especially since he had previously not dared to address Tanaya’s issues himself—leaving them for Ivan to handle.

“Cough cough, when did you become the Knight King? I’m still waiting,” Hotter hurriedly changed the subject.

“I’ve told you, you need not wait here,” Tanaya said to him seriously.

“That won’t do, I have to stay by your side until you become a lord,” Hotter responded seriously.

“I’m waiting for Sorcerer Ivan, he said he will achieve the Knight King.” Seeing that persuasion was futile, Tanaya could only let it be and then added an explanation.

The path of the Knight King had not been trodden for a long time.

Tanaya knew that she had few opportunities left and, to play it safe, she naturally wouldn’t try to advance recklessly, fortunately, Ivan also had this goal and was willing to guide her.

With someone leading the way, her path was undoubtedly going to be much smoother.

“A wise decision.”

Hotter nodded in agreement.

At the same time, he was also marveling at Ivan’s great ambition.

Hopefully this wasn’t a futile effort, after all, as an Arcane Wizard, his combat capabilities were already top-notch, becoming the Knight King might not benefit his cultivation, it could waste time and energy.

“Sorcerer Ivan is almost here.”

Hotter was about to say something when he heard Tanaya’s words, and his eyes lit up.

“Is he here? I wonder if he brought some good wine?”

“I think you’re expecting too much, every bottle of good wine from Ivan has ended up in your stomach, even he can’t conjure more without time to brew them.”

“That’s not necessarily true.”

As Tanaya had said, that day the airship titled “Lansuo” was flying over the skies of Bai Ta Continent at high speed toward the Rainbow Domain, closing the distance drastically.

Half an hour later, the Lansuo arrived at Rainbow Domain and after circling around it landed on a mountain peak in front of a sorcerer tower.

“Yo, so many people have come to welcome this sorcerer,” Ivan saw Tanaya and the two others.

“Stop your jesting, I heard you’ve done quite a few significant things on this trip. Shall we talk about it later?”

Hotter heard the rumors and had been peering at the airship, but unfortunately the other people, including Martin Kaspa, had already disembarked.

“I could talk to you about that small world, as for the others, you’ll have to ask Wizard Fioki.”

“I’m not interested in hearing that. Did you bring back any good wine this time?”

“The kind you want, no.”

After Ivan’s return, Hotter left, disappointed.

With Ivan present, he didn’t have to worry about any issues befalling Tanaya. Actually, his worry was also an overreaction; after all, this place was within the bounds of Truth City, and it was rare for Tanaya to encounter problems.

Ivan didn’t bother with him.

“Tanaya, you’ve worked hard.”

“Just as you once said, ‘In his office, a man must seek his duty.’ This is what I, as Mrs. Marichadon, ought to do.”

“Then the subsequent construction is also up to you?”

“Dream on, I’m going to catch up with Angie and the others.”

The Rainbow Domain, located outside Truth City, boasted the best land in the sorcerer world, rich in resources including numerous magic stones, a super-large magic stone mine, three large magic stone mines, and medium-sized magic stone mines.

There were also element crystal mines available in abundance.

A family with such a domain, as long as there were enough people, had no reason not to develop.

However, constructing the domain was not a simple matter and certainly not something that could be completed in just a few years.
