64: Chapter 64 Alliance of Noble Wizard Families

After purchasing all the necessary food, fresh water, and other supplies for the next month, Byron pushed a small cart and headed back.

Byron ignored the pointing gazes along the way and continued walking toward his residence on his own.

It wasn't until he could see his residence that Byron stopped, his brows slightly furrowed.

At this moment, right at the entrance of his residence, a large group of Wizard Apprentices dressed in gorgeous clothing stood there, chatting and laughing, though it was unclear what they wanted.

There was a hierarchy among this group of gorgeously dressed Wizard Apprentices, with most of them surrounding the few standing in the center.

Looking at the scene, these people seemed to revere the few in the center.

Seeing this, a thought flashed through Byron's mind, wondering why they were standing at his door; could it be that they were looking for him?

However, after a moment of thought, Byron smiled slightly, cast his doubts aside, and continued pushing his small cart toward his residence.

After all, if they were looking for him, what did that have to do with him? Why should he let others cause him distress?

But before he had taken a few steps, his path was blocked by someone.

Looking at the gorgeously dressed crowd standing before him, Byron stopped again, expressionless.

"You are blocking my way home, please move aside," Byron said coldly.

Hearing this, those people were stunned for a moment before reacting.

The few leaders hurriedly told the crowd behind them to clear the way.

Seeing this, Byron didn't say anything more and continued pushing his small cart toward his residence.

Just then, a handsome man, one of the leaders, walked up to Byron with a smile and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Classmate, you must be Byron Augustus. Hello, I am Kejie Sol from the Scarlet Thorn Family of the Noble Wizard Apprentice Alliance. I have something to discuss with you."

Hearing Kejie's words, Byron glanced at him, gave a polite greeting, and continued pushing his small cart forward.

He also knew some information about the Noble Wizard Apprentice Alliance.

Like the Sun-Fallen Wizard Apprentice Council led by Dylan, it was a major organization in the academy, sometimes even capable of going head-to-head with the council.

However, this Alliance was very different from other organizations in the academy.

That was, it didn't just recruit members of Wizard Families who had joined the Wizard Academy.

Furthermore, this organization also existed outside the academy; it was an Alliance jointly established by various Wizard Families, called the Noble Wizard Family Alliance.

As for Scarlet Thorn, it was a Family under the Noble Wizard Family Alliance, and its status among those Wizard Families was relatively high.

Because this Family still had living Official Wizards.

However, even so, these Wizard Families were all dependent on the academy and needed to obey the academy's orders.

In fact, according to what Byron knew, these Wizard Families would send some of their descendants to the academy to be taught by the academy, while other descendants remained in the Family to be taught by their respective families or the Noble Wizard Family Alliance.

Presumably, these people were the Family descendants sent to the academy, though he didn't know why they were looking for him.

Seeing Byron's indifferent attitude, Kejie's expression remained unchanged. He even stopped other companions who wanted to say something and continued speaking with a smile.

"Byron, actually, you and our Scarlet Thorn have had interactions before."

Hearing this, Byron looked at Colin in confusion; how did he not know about this?

Colin explained: "The cross-sea sailing ship that your batch of students took to come to the academy belongs to our Family, and that Wizard Lucius is also my ancestor."

Hearing this, Byron suddenly realized, thinking of that old geezer, and at the same time remembering those who had been taken away by him.

But having said that...

Byron looked at Kejie: "So what?"

Hearing Byron's words, Kejie didn't react for a moment and was a bit stunned.

But by now, Byron had already reached the door and wouldn't wait for him to recover.

He immediately walked into the Magic Array, blocking those who were following behind outside the Magic Array.

Seeing this, Kejie didn't speak, but those who were following him and wanted to gain his attention spoke up indignantly on Kejie's behalf.

"How could this person be like this? We are so many people accompanying him with smiling faces, and he didn't even say a few words before leaving us behind and going in directly. He really has no..."

But before the person could finish speaking, they were interrupted by Kejie's cold gaze.

"Why can't he be like this? Is it not enough that his mentor is Isolde, the organization he joined is the Fallen Sun Council, he became a Second-Rank Wizard Apprentice just one year after enrolling, and his Potionology talent was praised by Isolde?"

Seeing Kejie's cold gaze and hearing the questions ringing in his ears, the person who spoke began to tremble all over.

Every time Kejie asked a rhetorical question, the person's body trembled.

"Do you think these things are not enough? And what do you have?!"

As soon as these words were said, the person collapsed to the ground, looking as if they had been fished out of the water, unable to make a sound.

After glancing at the person casually, Kejie didn't pay any more attention to them and turned to look at the others.

"You should all think more about what I said. This applies not only when facing Byron but also when facing other students."

"Moreover, as students, we also carry the expectations of our Family, which is to make friends with other outstanding students as much as possible to strengthen the Family's power, not to offend people everywhere."

"Don't end up offending someone you can't deal with, and then don't blame the Family for abandoning you."

After saying this, Kejie took one last look at Byron's residence, then turned and left without saying anything more.

After looking at each other, the others didn't say much and left one by one.

As for the young man who had collapsed on the ground, in the end, he didn't even look at Byron's residence again and left silently.

...

As for Byron, who had returned to his residence, he didn't pay attention to the situation outside after coming in and instead began to organize the supplies he had purchased.

After organizing them, he went straight into the Laboratory and opened the parchment containing the formula for the Silent Crystal Essence potion.

Looking at the Materials listed, except for the origin crystal essence, the other Materials were all available in the Wizard World.

'Omniscience, how much longer until the formula is analyzed?'

Unlike the marrow-cleansing potion, which only had the physical object, the Silent Crystal Essence potion, although it had no physical object or Materials, had a potion formula that recorded complete steps, Materials, and how to make it.

In this way, he could use the Eye of Omniscience to analyze the potion brewing process and thus master the method of brewing the potion.

[Analyzing... Estimated time: 251 hours 32 minutes 29 seconds]

'Only ten days left?'

Byron looked at the information displayed before him and nodded slightly.

Then he turned to look at the Crystal Core Guardian's breastplate placed on the table.

As for the Phantom Crystal Worm Shadow corpse, Byron had purchased runes to prevent it from spoiling and planned to study it last.
