The Witcher: Electromagnetic Age

On the leaden sea, the boat drifted with the current.

A middle-aged man with a cigar in his mouth and a dark face was standing on the deck fishing.

Besides him was a tall, thin, silver-haired boy, wearing a gray robe and a witch hat, with blue pupils as deep as the sea in front of him.

Yanan doesn’t understand what fishing means?

He watched Uncle Reed swing the pole gracefully again, the spinning wheel rustled, and the wonderful sound of the fishing line breaking through the air came from near and far.

After a perfect parabola, the fake bait landed steadily in the waves hundreds of meters away.

Looking at it, it lasts two hours...

"Is it true that fish can eat iron tablets?" Yanan couldn't help but ask.

"There is no way. Yesterday's cold wave caused a big drop in temperature. The temperature dropped quickly, the water temperature dropped slowly, and the temperature difference was large in a short period of time. The fish did not have a high desire to open their mouths."

Reed wrapped his coat tightly and analyzed seriously.

.? Can I remind you?

"Is fishing so addictive? I see that you don't get any results most of the time." Yanan asked.

The smoke rings dispersed in the wind, Reed held his cigar in his mouth and said:

"Fishing seems simple, but the harvest is the result of the right time, place and people. Remember, not every effort can yield something. The same is true for other things. Uncle, why didn't I want to be a high-level wizard? But when I tried to relax according to the meditation method for an hour, but all I could think of was the snow-white and round thighs of the Sicilian lady next door, I knew that I, Reed, was a waste. Fishing Fish, what you catch is not a fish, what you catch is an open-minded attitude towards life!"

"And it's not like we didn't get anything, didn't we catch something like this?"

Reed pointed to a piece of wet fish skin paper on the deck, with the surface covered with algae and a skull next to it.

A hermit crab hides motionless inside the skull, pretending to be dead.

"This should be the wizard's relic left behind by the bloody battle." Reid asked with some hot eyes.

A hundred years ago, in the 900th year of the star calendar, the [Three Towers Alliance] fought a ten-year bloody battle with the monsters in the dungeon.

After that, some sailors and fishermen picked up some mysterious items involving wizards in the belly of fish from time to time.

The wizards in the city will take it away at a high price that is quite rich for mortals.

It even gave birth to a group of professional [water ghosts] who dived into the sea to scavenge for a living.

Yanan’s eyes were serious, and he took out a handful of shimmering silver powder from nowhere in his right hand, and mouthed ancient and mysterious syllables.

"Enwélinya, f?aermar!"

The silver powder was like an inspired wind spirit, swirling around Yharnan's arms, transforming into a pair of transparent energy arms to grab the fish skin paper.

Apprentice-level spell·Super-Magic Hand, an auxiliary spell that almost 90% of wizards master.

It can photograph objects from a distance, and can also roughly sense whether some items have mysterious powers.

For a moment, the starlight on the surface of the fish skin paper overflowed like debris, projecting a three-dimensional geometric structure in the void, with criss-crossing energy circuits on the surface.

"This is a spell book that records an apprentice-level spell model. It may have been researched by a certain wizard during his lifetime. He didn't want to lose it, so he imprinted it on fish skin paper and waited for the destined person to pass it on. My occult teacher, Ms. Anya, likes to collect these. If they are new spells, they are worth 5,000 rolls."

Yanan does not dare to learn spells picked up on the roadside.

Who knows if that is the "bait" used by an evil dark wizard for fishing?

It may even be the evil god in the dungeon "making a nest".

"5000?" Reed's eyes were a little dim, and it was obvious that he had high expectations for this antique that was suspected to be a wizard's relic at the beginning.

A fishing friend of his caught a copper cup in the sea last year, and it was taken away by a big nobleman in the inner city for one million rollers. He became a millionaire in the slums of District 9. The millionaire lost the money to the Morgan Casino the next day. Reed later found out that the Morgan Casino was opened by the big nobleman...

Yanan saw the flash of disappointment in Reid's eyes.

Time and hard work have combined to make the uncle breathless.

"Five thousand is pretty good. If we sell it to wizards in other cities, the price will probably be even lower. As you know, for those high-ranking wizards, he can obviously steal what we have without paying too much. After all, federal laws only restrict ordinary people." Yanan explained.

"I understand, it's just...well, there's something I didn't tell you. Your Aunt Perry is pregnant." Reed smiled bitterly.

Yanan said in surprise: "Congratulations, uncle, I said that this year things will turn around!"

Reed took a deep breath on the cigar and sighed: "Yes, it is obviously a good thing..."

After hesitating for a few times, Reed threw away the cigar and said unbearably:

Yanan smiled and said: "I asked why uncle insisted on dragging me out to fish today...I understand, and I am very grateful to you for your support over the years."

"Don't worry, no matter what, uncle will definitely let you finish studying at Jotunheim College. Are you confident about the joint entrance examination in three months?" Reed asked.

"Have confidence." Yanan said.

Yanan studied at Jotunheim School, majoring in occult science.

Soon, he will participate in the [Three Towers Joint Examination] held by the three wizard towers [Lake House], [Secret Garden of Roses], and [Astrarium Academy of Law], in conjunction with the 17 wizard organizations in Green Water City. If he successfully passes the examination, he will be able to enter the wizard organization for further study, and from then on he will become the master of Green Water City.

"Uncle, try to raise some money. If you pass the joint entrance examination and study in the Wizarding Organization, you will not be without money. I will try my best to help you through the early stage. Later, with your ability, you will be able to support your own studies. After all, you are a much smarter kid than me." Seeing that Yanan was not overwhelmed, Reed breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little guilty.

"Yeah, yeah."

"By the way, don't let your aunt hear what we said today."

"Don't worry, uncle."

Seagulls chirped and fish jumped out of the water.

As the setting sun shone on the deck, Yanan clasped his hands behind his hands and looked at the various spiers rising from the coastline in front of him.

Those spiers are the residence of wizards, the palace of knowledge and truth, and the place of Yanan's dreams.

"It's been half a year..." Yanan murmured in his heart, "I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to escape all kinds of exams in this other world."

(Yeah)
