Royal Road
Chapter 197 Migration ( 47 )
Dragun strolled home with Rowan.
Riela had to sew with the women today so she went directly. Vishirk excused himself that he was going to meditate, thus only Rowan and Dragun strolled together.
On their way, Rowan could not stop thinking about the Divine beast card in his inventory that he hadn't been able to activate due to unavailability of mana core. Now that it was in his possession, he could not wait to activate the card and see what sort of divine beast was in it.
He was also excited that he would start using and cultivating magic.
Being able to do so has always been one of his dream. His dream getting fulfiled was one of the best feeling in the world.
"Your awakening is quite a rare one."
While they strolled together, Dragun opened the topic.
He told Rowan how his case would have made him really popular if he had grown in a magic oriented territory.
According to him, numerous powerful archmages as well as magic academy would come searching for him in ordef to understand what happened with him.
"This would be a big advantage in your part. While they try their hardest to figure out the mystery in you, they will strive to make you even stronger in the magic field in order to discover what wonders you will display as you grow stronger. Sadly, this territory doesn't have such organisation and people." He said.
"It doesn't matter now. In a few years, my people would be able to cultivate magic." Rowan declared.
His declaration caused Dragun to look at him and ask, "How do you plan to make that happen? Are you planning to feed all the villagers mana core awakening potion and then cultivate them with mana stones?"
"Of course not, just the cost of doing so is sickening to think about." Rowan responded immediately.
"Then how do you plan to do so? If you don't mind sharing with me, that is."
"I will share them with you when the time comes. Although I already have an idea — it is related to the land we talked about, about that land, when you are free, can you go explore it and tell how habitable it is?"
Dragun nodded.
"I and Vishirk would go check it out in a few days. The place is really really far, it would take years to get there on feet." He revealed.
"That is not a problem, we can purchase those teleportation slip or build a big teleportation formation when the time comes." Rowan responded
"Those magic formation and slip require lot of mana to operate. For one capable of moving all the villagers at once through such a long distance, it will require the mana of more than 20 Tier-3 mages to activate."
Rowan thought about the matter.
"What about an archmage?"
"It is easy job for an archmage."
"Then it's settled." Rowan smiled confidently.
Dragun looked at him, was Rowan thinking of becoming an archmage in such a short time? He thought.
Even if Rowan should engage in demonic magic cultivation which is one of the fastest yet riskiest path to grow stronger, he wouldn't be able to reach such rank in a very short time.
Dragun could only shrug his shoulder and conclude that Rowan was only thinking that because he was naive in the field of magic cultivation.
When Rowan got home, he baded Dragun farewell and entered his room.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He then opened his system inventory and brought out one of the water magic spells he got from Dragun and Vishirk.
One of them was BUBBLE POP.

Rowan studied the description of the spell curiously.
Without a single bit of hesitation, he replied yes.
Just like learning skills from skill books, he felt a splitting headache for a few seconds and afterwards all the information about the spell was downloaded into his brain —The incantation and every other requirement to cast the spell.
At the moment, Rowan felt like he could activate the spell as he pleased.
"Let me try it out."
He concluded inwardly before stretching out his hand.
"Subaru ighi so..."
He began chanting the spell.
After chanting for about twenty seconds, a magic circle appeared and glowed brightly.
As the magic circle glowed brighter, Rowan felt a surge of energy course through him. The air around his hand shimmered with blue light, and tiny water bubbles began to form within the circle. His heart raced with excitement—this was it, his first real spell.
"Subaru ighi so..." he repeated, focusing his mind on controlling the bubbles. Slowly, he extended his hand forward. The water bubbles floated toward an empty space in front of him, expanding and then popping with a soft splash. Rowan watched in awe as the bubbles burst, sending ripples through the air.
A wide smile spread across his face.
"It worked!" he exclaimed, his eyes shining with joy.
The sensation of casting magic was exhilarating, fulfilling a dream he had cherished for so long.
Determined to master his new ability, Rowan decided to try the spell again. He took a deep breath, steadied his focus, and began the incantation once more. The magic circle reappeared, glowing even more intensely this time.
The water bubbles formed swiftly, moving with greater precision. Rowan felt more confident, his movements smoother as he directed the bubbles to dance around him.
After a few successful attempts, Rowan felt ready to learn another spell. He navigated his system inventory to find the next spell: Water Whip.

Rowan read through the description, feeling the thrill of acquiring new abilities
Without hesitation, he selected "Yes." His mind buzzed as usual and every information were downloaded in his head.
