The Vastness of Magical Destiny

Rebry was taken aback, clearly not expecting the seemingly rough leader of the high seas to ask such a question. Glancing at Solonberg, whose expression remained indifferent, Rebry said, "Hayreddin, our Lord here is more complex than you might think. The reason Solonberg and I follow him isn’t something that can be explained in a word or two. Indeed, Solonberg and I are not exactly his subordinates. If we must define our relationship, you could roughly call us guests and friends."

Nodding with only partial understanding, Hayreddin was of course aware that the Lord he now followed was no simple man. Traveling from the distant Caucasus to Bohemia, and even planning to visit the Rosenborg Jellyfish Kingdom—these things hardly sounded like the acts of a noble lord. Moreover, the Lord was personally involved in these perilous adventures. Such confidence, wasn’t it a style in itself?

"So, Mr. Rebry and Mr. Solonberg, will you also help the Lord realize his thoughts?" After a lengthy silence, Hayreddin asked another question with a double meaning.

"Hayreddin, if you’re referring to the trip to the Jellyfish Kingdom, I think Solonberg and I won’t be of much help to him; at most, we can just bolster his presence," the Mage said, starting to laugh in a slightly eerie way, making no attempt to disguise his intent. Intelligent people understood each other’s intentions, which made the conversation much more relaxed.

Hayreddin too, began to smile, understanding the other’s point of view. It’s unwise to support someone with no strengths and no prospects. That is to say, Komer must possess sufficient power to win their backing; this was only reasonable. A muddy wall couldn’t be propped up; someone who relied solely on external forces could never stand at the summit.

The Magic Competition finally came to an end amidst the sighs and regrets of countless people. This time around, the Magic Competition ushered in a new era, marked by the impromptu mixed tournament that attracted many non-magic practitioners, and the participation of martial artists on stage competing against Magicians became a major highlight.

Due to promotional reasons, not many powerful martial artists attended, resulting in a one-sided competition between Magicians and warriors. However, even important figures from the Magic Association believed that this kind of mixed event, despite its potentially unreasonable starting point, could indeed greatly enhance Magicians’ abilities to counter martial artists.

Martial artists could benefit greatly from such confrontations and exchanges—learning how to break through a Magician’s defense and bring down their seemingly unassailable position became the ultimate goal for many. This, in turn, forced magic practitioners to pay more attention to these martial artists, whom they once disregarded.
