Wizard of All Souls

Nine years later.

Looking at Sophia who was quickly picking up the food on the dining table, Will smiled gratifiedly.

Sophia, who used to look like a seven-year-old girl, now looks like a normal fifteen-year-old girl.

Today's Sophia's name is well-known in Winter City, not only because of her cute appearance, but also her strength is extremely powerful, and she can stand shoulder to shoulder with those powerful two-star adventurers.

I heard that I'm working hard to become a one-star adventurer recently, and it won't be long before I succeed.

No matter in terms of strength, knowledge or character, Sophia is first-class under his teaching.

Among all the students he has taught, growth is at the forefront.

"I have accepted a lot of students, but there are not many who can accept my independent guidance for nine years. This growth is expected."

After Sophia had almost eaten, Will said, "Sophia, I have something very important to tell you."

"What's the matter? Are you going to marry Sister O'Day?" Sophia said, swallowing the meat in her mouth.

"How many times have I said that? I don't have that kind of relationship with her, we are just ordinary friends."

"oh."

Sophia stared straight at Will.

"What kind of eyes do you have?"

"Sure enough, just like Sister O'Day said, you are a scumbag, you bloody lolicon!"

"Hey, don't slander me, okay? As the cutest loli in Winter City, have I done anything excessive to you?"

Sophia pinched her fingers, "Take a bath with me, help me scrub my body, apply medicine, massage my whole body..."

"Forget it, stop talking." Will hurriedly stopped Sophia, "I really have something very important to tell you, please be serious."

Seeing that Will's face was more serious than ever, Sophia knew that Will was not joking anymore, so she was sitting and listening carefully.

"Say it."

"I have decided to move out of Winterfell."

"What?"

Sophia's eyes widened.

"Winter City is too cold and remote. I've been here for nine years. There's no point in staying any longer, and—" Will looked at Sophia, "The most powerful people here are only two-star adventurers. With your strength, they You probably won't be your opponent anymore, and you've learned about O'Day, so you can get more chances to become stronger if you leave here and go to the south."

"don't want!"

Sophia decisively refused.

"Don't be willful, it's all for your own good."

Sophia patted the table and stood up, "I'm not going anywhere!"

"You have amazing talent and extraordinary knowledge, and there is a wider sky waiting for you ahead." Will persuaded.

"The people at the headquarters of the Adventure Union invited me last time, didn't you refuse?"

"One moment and another moment."

"No matter what the reason, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to be in Winter City, I'm going to be in Winter City for the rest of my life!" Sophia's tone was extremely firm.

Will sighed, "No matter what, I'm going, and I hope you can be with me."

"Will, you..." Sophia grabbed Will's hand at once, "Can't you stay here together? There are so many friends here, and everyone gets along so well, wouldn't it be good to stay here?"

"I'm not from here, I also have my own hometown." Will brushed his gray hair, "I'm also in my 40s and 50s, and I'm still an ordinary knight, an adventurer or something. No matter how promising you are, you might as well go home.”

"But……"

Sophia stared blankly at Will.

When they first met, Will was bearded and in his late forties.

Now nine years have passed, and he is even older.

"My hometown is Witt City, the hometown of Will's paladins. Paladins can be seen everywhere. There are strong people like clouds and encounters like rain. With your talent and ability, you will definitely be able to thrive." Will continued to persuade Sophia, "I You can ask someone in your clan to recommend you to Guanghui Academy, which is the best academy in the Eastern Continent, with more than a dozen paladin teachers and countless strong men, you will definitely help you to reach a higher level."

Sophia hesitated, "I won't go."

"Hey, when did you miss me, you can find me in Witt City." Will sighed and stopped persuading. .

"when are you leaving?"

"Five days later."

"Have you told everyone?"

"It's fine to just slip away like this. What are you talking about, making tears? You just have to tell them afterwards. I hate saying goodbye the most." Will said with a smile.

day of departure.

Before dawn at five o'clock, Will drove the carriage towards the outskirts of the city.

When approaching the city gate, I found dozens of people standing there densely.

"Woo--"

Will stopped the carriage and looked at the familiar faces, and Sophia stood among them with a smile.

"Is it your fault?" Will scratched his head depressed.

"Hey, it's too embarrassing to leave without telling us, isn't it?"

"Even so, you still owe us a drink."

"Good boy, I may never meet someone as interesting as you in the future."

"What do you plan to do when you go back? Will you continue to be an adventurer? Or be a little nobleman in the countryside? I think you are a good teacher."

Just like that, you talk and I talk, and people come up to say goodbye to Will.

Finally, it was the turn of a red-haired savage Yujie.

O'Day stared blankly at Will, "You really are a scum."

"Would you like to come with me? Witt City is much more fun than here?"

"roll!"

Will shook his head, "I really don't understand what you women think."

Saying that, Will looked at Sophia, "Sophia, this time I really have to say goodbye."

"Will, can you stay?" Sophia tugged on Will's sleeve with hazy eyes.

"I've already decided." Will took out a bottle of potion from his arms, "This potion, if you want, you can find time to drink it."

"Is now okay?"

Following Will's nod, Sophia pulled the stopper and drank the potion with a "grunt".

She licked her lips, "It's a bit sweet, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. What is the effect of this potion?"

"That is a magical potion that can cure your physical defects. You will know when the time comes. I hope that day will never come."

Will stroked Sophia's head, lifted the hair on her forehead, and lowered his head to stroke her smooth forehead lightly.

Then hop into the carriage.

"Goodbye, everyone, come to Witt City when you are free."

Will brandished his whip, and drove the carriage away from Winter City, heading into the distance.

Behind them, everyone waved their arms.

Sophia's hot tears, "Will, take care—"

It wasn't until Will's carriage completely disappeared into reality that Sophia reluctantly looked away.

"The world is always full of parting, and you will meet more in the future." O'Day said while pressing Sophia's shoulder.

"I'm just a little..." Sophia's eyes were extremely sad.

"everything will get better."

O'Day raised his head and looked towards the east, where the vibrant sun was slowly rising.
