Chapter 238 Conjugated Master and Disciple
Ishamara stared at her ancestor with wide eyes, a look of disbelief.
She heard what her ancestor was shouting. Her ancestor actually called the immortal king "teacher"?
For a moment, Ishamara even wondered if she had heard it wrongly.
Ever since Deya became famous, countless people have investigated his past life.
The result is that Deya is the heir of this generation of the Cavendish family. He is only in his 20s and his life can be simply described in just two or three pages.
But now Ishamara heard her ancestor calling her 'teacher'.
There are very few records about our ancestors in the outside world.
However, the royal family of the Narbo Empire had extremely detailed records. Ishamara knew that this ancestor had lived for more than 900 years and could be regarded as the patron saint of the royal family and the Narbo Empire.
It is precisely because of the existence of this ancestor that although the Narbo Empire has experienced ups and downs in the past few hundred years, the royal power has never been lost, and the royal family still firmly controls the empire.
You must know that during these hundreds of years, the empire has seen many geniuses and people with rebellious thoughts, but in the end no one has been able to affect the power and rule of the royal family, all thanks to the protection of the ancestors.
Many thoughts flashed through Ishamara's mind, and she first suspected that Deya was not as young as she appeared.
The necromancy school among mages is good at the boundary between life and death. Perhaps this seemingly young man may be an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years.
Perhaps he mastered some mysterious magic that allowed him to break through the limit of his thousand-year lifespan and be reborn using another person's body.
That's why he was able to quickly increase his strength in a very short period of time. Even the ability he just demonstrated is more powerful than that of his ancestors.
This immortal king is probably just trying to regain the power he originally possessed!
Thinking about it this way, Ishamara felt that everything made sense.
Otherwise, a young man in his 20s being promoted so quickly would make Ishamara feel like a waste.
Although Deya felt that this half-dragon looked familiar before, it was not until the other party personally called him teacher that Deya was completely sure.
He asked in astonishment, "Raymond?"
"It's me, teacher."
Raymond was polite, like a wise scholar.
Raymond quickly suppressed his inner excitement.
As a mage, and as a mage who had lived for 900 years and reached the ninth ring of strength, it was extremely rare for Raymond to have emotional fluctuations before.
And now, he is able to face Deya with a normal mentality.
Deya had a complicated expression.
He really couldn't connect the 40-something-year-old, gentle-looking wizard in front of him with the innocent boy in his impression.
900 years have passed, making it almost impossible for Raymond to find any trace of the past.
Raymond looked at Ignis at this time, and he smiled and said, "Ms. Ignis, I didn't expect that I would see you again."
Ignis looked at Raymond blankly. She raised her head and fell into thought, as if she didn't know who the wizard in front of her was.
Fortunately, although Ignis's personality was a little dull, she did not have Alzheimer's disease, and she quickly found those fragments of the other person in her memory.
The main reason was that the memory of her being captured by the dragon lich was too deep. In addition, Ignis had been sleeping most of her life, so there were very few fragments of memory that she could remember.
The silver dragon showed a look of realization and said, "You are the half-dragon."
"I am honored that Miss Ignace still remembers me."
Looking at Raymond's expression, it didn't seem like he was being modest. It was really not easy to make Ignis remember him.
"Isamara, please step back first. I have something to talk to the teacher."
Raymond waved his hand. Although his tone was gentle, he had the authority of a person who had been in a high position for a long time.
There are some things that Raymond doesn't want outsiders to know, such as the fact that Deya can change history.
Ishamara did not dare to neglect it. Although she was full of curiosity, her awe of the strong prevented her from doing anything rebellious.
She bowed and made a noble salute, saying goodbye: "Ancestor, do you want me to ask the servants to prepare the dinner?"
Raymond said without hesitation: "Take out all those good things. The teacher is here, so we should treat him well."
After living as a superior for many years, Raymond no longer cared about enjoyment. Although he was traveling on a warship this time, he also brought a chef from the royal family and various expensive ingredients.
Ishamara received the order, bowed again and retreated.
Only Master Deya and his apprentice, as well as Ignis, were left in the captain's room.
Deya did not feel embarrassed about the disciple in front of him who was hundreds of years older than him.
This mainly comes from confidence in one's strength.
If he were still the seventh-ring mage now, that would probably make him uneasy.
But when Deya mastered the power of the Silent Chanter, when his strength was enough to be on par with anyone, the embarrassment and helplessness naturally disappeared.
"Teacher, I am truly delighted to see you again."
Raymond said sincerely.
He doesn't look old at all, and still maintains the liveliness of a young man, or the maturity of a middle-aged man.
Deya was silent for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "You don't have to be so respectful to me. I didn't do anything at that time. I just gave you enlightenment."
At that time, Deya did not teach Raymond anything. Even until Deya left the world, Raymond could only be barely considered a wizard apprentice.
This is mainly because Deya cannot stay in the memories of that world for too long.
“Perhaps in your eyes, it was just a trivial teaching, but for me, it was the most important transformation in my life that I will never forget.
If you hadn't killed that dragon lich, I would probably still be trapped on that isolated island until the day I grew old and died.
If you hadn't taught me magic and made me a mage, I wouldn't have been able to avenge my mother. It wasn't until I left that lonely island and came to the continent of Okaner that I understood your selfless teaching to me.
There are too few mages in this material world. Even if many people manage to become mages, they do not have the opportunity to learn higher-level spells, let alone think about promotion.
Yet you left me all the spell books below the sixth level, allowing me to have a smooth journey on the path of a mage and pass through the most dangerous apprentice period and low-level mage period.
Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today."
After a pause, Raymond continued: "...Especially after I realized that you, teacher, are not living in the same era as me, but are from the future.
I once had doubts. If you hadn't changed the course of history, my life would not be what it is now. I might have died on that isolated island long ago.
As my strength grew stronger, and I conducted theoretical research on the prophecy school, I discovered changes in the trajectory of my own destiny. My destiny was forcibly changed by someone, and the person who changed my destiny was you! "
Deya felt a little embarrassed by Raymond's sincere gratitude and listening to his sincere words.
The main reason was that he felt that he really did nothing. He just taught a kid spells and magic theory, and then let the kid go.
But soon, Deya shamelessly acknowledged his identity as a teacher.
He asked curiously, "Raymond, what have you experienced in your life since I left?"
The half-dragon thought for a moment and said, "That's a long story. After all, 900 years of life is too long.
I will just talk to the teacher briefly. After the teacher left due to irresistible reasons, Miss Ignis also left. "
As he said this, Raymond looked at Ignis with some resentment. Even though 900 years had passed, this incident still bothered him.
When Ignis saw Deya leaving, she also ran away, leaving Raymond alone on the deserted island.
Ignis blinked her innocent big eyes, not knowing why Raymond had such a strong grudge against her.
Looking at Ignis's expression, Raymond knew that he was angry for nothing.
Deya immediately understood what happened afterwards. He felt helpless. If it was Ignis, she really wouldn't think so much, and wouldn't care about the life or death of a half-dragon.
“Fortunately, although there were no people on that island, there were still some livestock. I taught myself magic and raised the livestock, and I managed to survive.
Because the dragon lich was dead, the island lost its magical concealment. Three years passed like this, and a ship happened to pass by there and took me away.
I came to the Narbo Empire through that ship. Since I didn't know the customs of the empire, and even less about the outside world, I suffered a lot at the beginning, was deceived, and encountered many dangers.
But fortunately, I was lucky and managed to survive every time. In addition, I did have some talent in the spells of the School of Necromancer, and you also prepared enough basic theoretical knowledge of spells for me, which allowed me to be promoted very quickly."
Raymond recalled his past life experiences, sometimes sighing, sometimes feeling emotional, but just telling about his past life like this, the nostalgia made him feel very good.
“When my strength reached the fifth ring, I encountered problems when I was trying to advance to the sixth ring. The knowledge you taught me only goes so far. Advancing from the fifth ring to the sixth ring is another qualitative change in mastering the power of myth.
I wasted some time at this stage, but my luck has always been good because I had a good foundation and was noticed by the Lord of the Black Tower at that time, so I joined the Nine Rings Tower. "
Deya interrupted him and said, "Wait, you joined the Nine Rings Tower and became a disciple of the Lord of the Black Tower?"
Deya will never forget that the position of Lord of the Black Tower is passed down from generation to generation.
Raymond knew what Deya wanted to say. He said with a weird smile: "According to the inheritance, Irwin is the disciple of my disciple."
Deya was speechless for a while, we are really a yoked master and disciple.
Irving is Deya's teacher, Deya is Raymond's teacher, and Raymond is Irving's master!
They have truly formed a closed loop of relationships.
Even Raymond found this relationship quite interesting, and his tone unconsciously became playful and naughty.
He continued: "There is nothing much to say about my life experience afterwards. I studied in the Nine Rings Tower for many years and my strength increased.
I should have been the one to inherit the title of Lord of the Tower, but I gave up and let another wizard take over the position. I only taught some students in the tower.
When I was at the seventh ring, because I was facing the most difficult promotion to the eighth ring, I took the initiative to leave the tower and travel, hoping to find an opportunity for promotion in the process.
It was also during this period that a crisis occurred in the royal family of the Narbo Empire. Since I have royal blood of the Narbo Empire, I was also involved.
After a series of complicated events involving various conspiracies and intrigues, I successfully advanced to the eighth ring and was recognized by the imperial family. While using the resources of the empire to continue my research, I also protected the imperial family from threats."
Raymond narrated his 900 years of life in extremely concise words.
But Deya knew that his life was definitely not simple, but magnificent, enough to be written into a legendary biography and novel.
It is the legend of a young man who had nothing but traveled all his life, avenged himself, and finally became the most powerful person in the empire and the Nine-ring Necromancer.
During this period, he also established the Dragon Feast Cult, fought against dragons, studied Dragon Feast Crystals and so on, but Raymond did not say anything about them. Perhaps to him these were trivial matters not worth mentioning.
Instead, he talked more about the hard survival and adventure experiences before he reached the sixth ring.
Deya then asked again: "I have looked for you, but I have not found any record of you in any records. I thought you had died long ago."
If Raymond's life was so eventful, it is impossible that there is no record of it at all.
Raymond laughed and said, "That was because I took the initiative to eliminate my own traces. When I found out that you, teacher, did not exist and even with the power of the empire, I couldn't find your trace, I realized that something was wrong.
Four hundred years ago, the Cavendish family rose in Sussex. I had my doubts at the time, so I erased my own traces to avoid affecting the development of history.
It was not until more than a hundred years ago, when the elf princess escaped from the Emerald Courtyard, that I was completely sure that you, teacher, had not yet been born.
After that, I also secretly helped Mavis, allowing her to escape the pursuit of the Church of Destiny many times, until she was promoted to the eighth ring as a witch and became the master of the White Tower. I stopped caring about her. "
Because after Mavis was promoted to the eighth ring, her memories of Raymond's childhood matched, and he no longer exerted influence.
I'm afraid Mavis herself doesn't know that she has actually been protected in the past.
The history of the past thousand years formed a closed loop at this moment. The complexity of fate made Deya feel deeply moved.
"Being able to meet you again is the happiest day of my life in the past few hundred years. Teacher, let's go to dinner first, so I can tell you about the current situation of the war between the Empire and the Orcs."
