Aur, however, didn't directly faint, unlike last time, and just stayed in a meditating position. He could feel a mysterious blue energy that appeared in his brain and seemed to connect to some unknown dimension.
He couldn't see nor feel it, but he knew one thing: this blue energy connected him to something.
Suddenly, his vision changed again to the caravan, where a person had a hopeful expression on his face looking at the mana stones that were in front of him.
"This is my three months of saving, and I didn't even feed my children because of it. Please make my luck good," the man muttered while crossing his hands together in a prayer. His eyes were entirely red and seemed to be protruding out of his eye socket, looking at the mana stone.
Aur looked at them silently.
Mana stones were the product of nature and were found at the bank of a mana-rich river. They had chances of being filled with treasures ranging from ancient artifacts to even natural spells.
Naturally spawning spells were different from ones artificially made by people, as they were stronger and even had a life of their own, like a living being.
In fact, the artificial spells that countless wizards made were all imitations of these rare natural spells that could be found in nature; they were made using the comprehension of the wizard to comprehend nature and then copying a natural spell and deconstructing it to be used to make the blueprint for the artificial spells.
However, natural spells were much stronger than artificial ones and could be said to be the darlings of nature.
When used, the natural spell would have much more power as it would be enhanced by nature, making the strength and effectiveness of the spell soar through the sky.
Aur had never seen a natural spell before and to his knowledge, there have been very few cases of the sighting of a natural spell. The only known one was from Noah; the sound magic that every village leader passed down was a natural spell.
Thinking of these, Aur sighed.
While countless thoughts were passing through his mind, the man yelled in surprise.
"Oh my god, is this a natural spell?" The man murmured, looking at the glowing pattern in the servant's hand.
However, the bright light from the spell instantly attracted the attention of the people surrounding him.
Just as the man hurriedly took the spell and was about to leave, a fat man with a belly protruding out and a smile plastered on his face came out from inside the store.
"Brother, can you please wait for a moment?"
"Hmm, what is it?" The man asked with a frown on his face.
"I am very interested in buying these spells from your hand; would that be okay? I will reward you generously."
"How much are you willing to pay?" the man asked tentatively.
"How about these?" The fat man extended his five fingers.
"Five middle-grade mana crystals!?" the man exclaimed in surprise.
The fat man gave a disapproving look to the man. "You are overestimating yourself, brother, five low-grade mana crystals."
Hearing these, the man leaped with anger as he felt the urge to punch these bastards to death; however, taking a deep breath, he stormed off carrying the spell.
"Why don't you just rob me instead?" The man rolled his eyes. Although five low-grade mana crystals could be considered a ten-day salary for him, but just the mana stone cutting cost him around thirty low-grade mana crystals.
He wouldn't even incur the loss from the mana stone cutting if this happened.
"Sigh, people lack self-awareness these days," the fat man said magnanimously as he looked at the fleeting man.
"What are you guys doing? Leave," he barked, spit coming out of his mouth.
The crowd immediately dispersed.
After the crowd left, he returned back to the shop with a frown on his face.
"Tenth master, should I deal with that guy?"
The man took the soft body of a woman who was lying in the corner with a lecherous gaze and made her sit in his lap.
"Yes, finish him, but make sure not to leave any evidence behind. Although these north village is weaker than us, once our reputation turns sour, it will be difficult to communicate with the surrounding forces."
"Yes, master." The strong man bowed and immediately left.
Aur looked at them with a cold expression on his face.
"It looks like my guess was true— the danger I felt must be from these strong men then." His eyes flashed in a contemplative gaze.
Aur could already guess the fate of that man. With these strong men at the peak of the tier-one wizard realm, it was impossible for a mere peak wizard apprentice to escape from them. He tried to look at the date in the calendar.
8013th AC!
"Oh, so next year, then?" He has already memorized the appearance of the mana stone, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to find the mana stone again, even if there are other similar mana stones. Aur could easily find the duplicate.
"But really, though these mana stones have countless opportunities in them, my previous opportunity was also from the mana stone, and now counting it, there have already been 2 opportunities." Aur mused to himself.
Aur's vision slowly returned to his own room again.
The mysterious blue energy was also exhausted at that point and completely disappeared from exhaustion.
Aur slowly stood up from the ground as he stretched his body. Just as he wanted to get out of his seclusion, he heard some knocks from the door.
"Hmm, who?" he asked with a frown on his face. Aur had strictly instructed that unless there was a really important matter, he shouldn't be disturbed in his seclusion.
"Elder Aur, the second elder, has come to visit you."
