Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Visiting Relatives

After joining the "Violet Eye," Aiven was automatically labeled as official. Even if his wizard identity was exposed, as long as he wasn’t caught conducting desecration research, the church couldn’t do much to him on the surface.

Plus, with the "Iron Cross Medal" blessed by the Goddess as a safeguard, Aiven’s wizard identity was no longer a ticking time bomb about to explode.

As for whether the higher-ups in the "Violet Eye" had considered that someone might refuse to join a secret wizard organization.

The answer is clearly yes.

After obtaining borrowing qualifications, from the access to reading books, it was clear that the current junior members could not remotely touch the core of the organization.

Meanwhile, the peripheral organizational structure was loose, with not too much binding force apart from confidentiality restrictions, fully ensuring the freedom of the members. It’s nearly equivalent to having a basic membership card in a gym; you can come whenever you want, all basic facilities are free, but value-added services require an extra cost.

This cost might be a certain task, money, experimental collaboration, equivalent knowledge, etc.

The higher the level, the deeper the connection with the organization, and while gaining more knowledge and privileges, individuals also become gradually bound to the organization, making it difficult to leave easily.

Moreover, because the organization coexists with the Royal Navy Academy, most of the members of the association come from students in the Navy Academy, active Navy officers, and informed high-level noble families. They’ve already undergone one screening, naturally having a level of identity assurance that ensures, no matter what, the secret stays within the family!

This is also where the creators of the system prove clever.

However, Aiven doesn’t know these things for now.

Once he was certain that there were no immediate risks in joining the "Violet Eye," and that it was only beneficial to him, he immersed himself in the vast ocean of mysticism, eagerly absorbing the knowledge he had longed for.

"Hmm, let’s start with the ’Magic Potion Branch’ of Alchemy."

Starting with Leon’s Pharmacy notes, Aiven’s foundation naturally focused on "Magic Potion," and his long-term independent research had accumulated countless questions waiting to be resolved.

...

"I see, by controlling the technique to draw the ratio of raw liquid, the ritual of the ’Galliot Bird Transformation Technique’ can be simplified by twenty percent, and costs can be further reduced.

After a hundred years of development, in the last ’Extraction Potion’ invented by Leon, medicines can already be artificially synthesized, purer and more reliable than wild herbs.

Hmm, find a place to try mixing it up. The introduction earlier said the association should provide hidden experimental grounds..."

Tap... tap... tap...

In the moving carriage, Aiven seemed to be resting his eyes, but he was actually continuously studying the mystic knowledge copied from the Shadow Library through the "Data Visualization" in his consciousness.

Ever since he officially joined "Violet Eye" that day.

Upon obtaining borrowing qualifications, Aiven felt like a mouse falling into a barrel of rice, continuously absorbing precious extraordinary knowledge. Using advanced thinking modes and learning methods, he learned extremely quickly.

Especially since the restriction that others couldn’t take books out was almost meaningless for Aiven. The recording function of the "Data Visualization" allowed him to enter a learning state anytime, efficiently amazing.

The days of focusing on learning in the "Shadow Library" passed quickly, until today.

Whoosh——

"Sir, we’re almost at Cooper Manor." The coachman’s voice from outside the carriage interrupted Aiven’s thoughts.

Opening his eyes, Aiven looked out the window.

This area already belonged to the suburbs of New Inn Port, with continuous artificial buildings nowhere in sight, replaced by trees, soil, and various flowers and plants. The beautiful natural scenery refreshed one’s mind.

Along the road were large tulip fields, plantations, and scattered perfume workshops, occasionally adorned with elegant estates. Though not in the city, it was indeed the rich district of New Inn Port.

Aiven’s destination was one of them—Cooper Manor.

Few things could make Aiven set aside his studies and take time to do; visiting Uncle Gel’s family was one of them.

Though Uncle Gel never explicitly said it, Aiven could guess with ease that something must have happened during the transition from being a Colonel Captain of a Level 4 Battleship in the First Fleet to a Level 5 Cruiser Captain in the Third Fleet for several years.

Before departing from Gabred to enter school, Aiven received the address of Uncle Gel’s house and was repeatedly told by Gel to visit whenever possible.

"Your Aunt Daphne has wanted to meet you ever since she knew I found you. If you don’t visit now you’re in New Inn Port, Daphne will definitely be heartbroken."

Therefore, in both sentiment and reason, Aiven couldn’t break the promise. After settling into academy life, he came to visit as soon as possible. Though during his focused learning, more than a month had quietly passed.

Ring ring ring....

Paying the fare and letting the coachman leave, Aiven stood at the black wrought iron gate with a wooden box, and rang the doorbell.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" A young maid with cute freckles came out at the sound, looking curiously at the tall, well-dressed boy in hunter’s attire.

"Hello, is Aunt Daphne home? I’m Aiven Galliot, could you please let her know I’m here? She knows I’m coming."

Aiven smiled slightly at the young maid, explaining.

"Ah... alright, please wait a moment!" The young maid nodded shyly, quickly turning around and running off.

"Uh..."

Scratching his head.

Aiven was completely unaware that after the Extraordinary Transformation, his body had become more perfect from the inside out, and so had his appearance.

Additionally, the Wizard’s Meditation Method practice added a mysterious aura, significantly boosting his overall charm alongside his strength!

Previously, he hadn’t noticed the difference because he was constantly on a warship without any women around. Even in the Royal Navy Academy, females were rare.

So now it was finally showing, though whether his extraordinary charm was an advantage or disadvantage for Aiven as a Navy Officer and Wizard remained unknown...

It didn’t take long before someone hurriedly emerged from the main building of the manor.

Leading was a beautiful lady in a home dress. Despite wearing high heels, she left the little maid behind, with brown hair and black eyes similar to Aiven, immediately giving him a sense of familiarity.

"Aiven! Is that young Aiven?"

As the gate was opened by a servant, the lady excitedly embraced Aiven, engulfing him in a pleasant perfume scent, which made his face slightly flushed.

"It’s been years, and young Aiven has grown so tall. When your Uncle Gel told me you were coming, you can’t imagine how happy I was!" Daphne held Aiven’s hand and walked into the manor, as if afraid he’d disappear again.

"From now on, this is your home. A room has been prepared for you long ago; want to check if you’re pleased with it later? Spend weekends at home, no refusing! How can the Navy Academy’s dormitory compare to the comfort of home?"

The lady talked profusely, leaving him no chance to interrupt.

Aiven at this moment felt like a traveler, drifting for years, finally returning home to be nestled by his mother’s nagging. Instead of finding it annoying, he felt an intrinsic warmth and peace.
