Chapter 206:
In response to Hanks' admiration, Freya merely smiled politely.
She then took the initiative to steer the conversation towards the topic of wizardry research.
After all, although she graduated from Elgreen Academy, her understanding of the Basic Knowledge of a true First-Level Wizard was still quite limited.
This Basic Knowledge for Official Wizards was only accessible with specific permissions within each organization, and it would certainly not be available to Freya, who had not joined any academy.
Coincidentally, this Official Wizard from the Elk Family wanted to recruit her, so asking about some common knowledge was not unreasonable.
"Well, in the Positive Energy system, the Spell Model can be divided into many parts for use to some extent. However, how should one handle necessary connections that may arise?"
Freya's humble inquiry pleased Hanks, who smiled and explained.
"This question is quite simple. As you know, the establishment of a Model is formed through our mental power. So when you want to manipulate some overall Spell Models by breaking them down, you need to use the Cherkesk Universal Formula to compensate. While this formula cannot broadly compensate for all Spell Models, it is still useful for some common Spell Models. You can experiment with it multiple times and see for yourself."
"Is that so? Then I will try it out when I get back."
Listening to Hanks' answer, Freya appeared thoughtful.
Meanwhile, Hanks nodded as he walked alongside Freya.
Throughout their conversation, although most of the dialogue consisted of Freya asking questions and Hanks providing answers, he could sense her strong thirst for knowledge.
Moreover, Freya's mind was exceptionally agile; after receiving his answers, she could quickly draw parallels and immediately think of other common principles.
If it weren't for Hanks having accumulated extensive knowledge over many years as an Official Wizard, it would indeed be somewhat challenging for an ordinary wizard to clearly answer Freya's questions.
However, from this interaction, Hanks also indirectly understood that Freya's situation was indeed similar to that of a typical Wandering Wizard.
He looked at Freya, who was still pondering over the previous content. After a moment, he opened his mouth to ask.
"By the way, Freya the Wizard, may I ask where your destination is this time?"
Through their conversation, the two had become somewhat familiar, and the formalities were set aside.
"Hmm?" Freya, interrupted by Hanks's question, looked up and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I was lost in thought. I'm going to Cloud City."
"Cloud City?" Hanks thought for a moment and understood. "Ah, that place is indeed a large gathering spot for the White Wizard. Are you going there to study?"
"Yes," Freya nodded. "Because the knowledge system of my graduating academy isn't suitable for me."
"No wonder. By the way, my Elk Family has a branch in Cloud City. If you're interested, you can go there to study. Although it may not be a top-tier Wizard Organization, I believe its knowledge reserves are among the best in Cloud City," Hanks recommended with a smile.
"Is that so?" Freya showed an interested expression.
"Of course." With that, he took out a white card and handed it to Freya. "This is a token. If you're interested, you can go take a look."
"White Harbor?" She read the letters on the card lightly and realized. "So this organization is backed by the Elk Family."
The White Harbor Wizard Organization is quite well-known in Cloud City.
It is a special organization focused on researching World Power and Ancient Wizard relics, with knowledge reserves similar to what Hanks mentioned, belonging to a relatively high level.
However, she didn't expect that this Wizard Organization was actually backed by the Elk Family, which is famous for its maritime industry.
This gave Freya a vague sense of the power of this enormous Elk Wizard Family.
Moreover, judging by Hanks's expression, perhaps such a Wizard Organization was merely one aspect of the Elk Family.
In their conversation, they had unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the hall.
A row of black-robed attendants stood on either side of the corridor leading to the Red Carpet.
In addition to two individuals, many others dressed in luxurious attire arrived one after another.
Through Freya's mental perception, she realized that no one attending this Auction was ordinary; even the lowest among them was at the level of a Second-Class Apprentice.
As the person in charge of the ship, Hanks was frequently greeted by these individuals.
While exchanging pleasantries, he made his way to the hall.
The hall was divided into several areas.
At this time, there was still some time before the official Auction began. After briefing Freya on where she needed to go, Hanks left to attend to other important guests.
After wandering around for a bit and feeling the three Slave Scrolls in her waist pouch, Freya curiously headed towards the Slave Area.
The Slave Area was not as dirty and chaotic as Freya had imagined.
On the contrary, since this place housed relatively valuable slaves, the environment here was much better than outside.
Many slaves were kept in special cages, being treated like goods for selection.
In addition to human slaves, there were surprisingly many other races displayed openly here.
For example, Fire Sprites, Stone Giants, Turtle Lizardmen, and Lava Firebirds.
After taking a look around, Freya even discovered a rare Wooden Man in a hidden corner.
This creature, which exists between plant and animal, is inherently a very kind race. It resembles a Seedling but has a cute face added to its branches.
This race is known for its benevolence and often helps creatures lost in the forest.
It possesses the ability to purify the air and eliminate Negative Energy due to its Special Bloodline.
Basically, as long as there are conscious beings, they would not harm them; it was just unexpected that such a kind creature was displayed like a commodity.
Moreover, according to Freya, the Wooden Man not only has its own Bloodline abilities but also enhances the affinity of wizards towards Plant Energy and Energy Particles.
However, the price marked above suggests that Freya would need to sell everything she owns just to buy it back.
After a quick glance, Freya chose not to look any further.
There are many types of slaves in the Slave Area, but those that could be useful to Freya are either too expensive or inconvenient to expose.
So after browsing around, Freya did not use any of the three Slave Scrolls.
At this time, the Auction was about to start soon.
Just as Freya was about to leave, a sudden force came from behind her and collided with her back.
Bang!
The force wasn't very strong, but it was directly blocked by the Power Field that Freya had kept activated.
“Ow!”
A groan immediately came from behind her.
Frowning slightly, Freya turned around and saw a young boy dressed in noble hunting attire crouching on the ground, holding his nose and crying in pain.
Clearly, he was the one who had bumped into Freya just now.
“Hm?” Tilting her head slightly, Freya caught a glimpse of a crescent-shaped mark branded on the boy's neck hidden beneath his collar.
Perhaps noticing Freya's gaze, the boy, after a moment of pain, immediately got up and ran away without even apologizing.
Watching the boy quickly disappear into the crowd, Freya slightly moved her lips, her eyes revealing an inexplicable light.
"To think he possesses the ability to bypass my mental perception? And if I’m not mistaken, that mark is from the Tros Clan. Hmph, a runaway slave?"
However, since he had encountered Freya's Power Field, even the abilities of the Tros Clan would likely be unable to remove the mental information for a short period.
Nevertheless, Freya looked up at the clock hanging on the wall and decided to head to the Auction first.
It should be noted that Freya had contributed some special items to this Auction, and Hanks was present at that time. This Auction also featured the Formal Wizard Meditation Method.
Even though she wasn't very confident in the level of the Meditation Method at the Auction, it didn't mean that Freya wasn't interested in it.
Sensing the specific location of that boy in her mind, Freya turned at the entrance of the slave hall and walked towards the direction of the Auction. (To be continued...)
