Immortal Mage: I Just Have To Wait It Out

Chapter 23 Another Ten Years!

“You can stay here now.”

Ye Tian was helpless. He could not understand why the Monarch suddenly said that.

After instructing Annie to wait for the steward to return, he turned around and returned to his room.

Closing the door, Ye Tian opened the paper. There was not much content on it and he finished reading it after a few glances.

“Those people from overseas… They’re really persistent. After a year, they still dare to come and find trouble.”

Ye Tian gripped the paper tightly as flames appeared and dust floated down from his palm.

Todd’s master, Ricks, had yet to be resolved, and now there was an overseas mage camp. What a headache.

If he had continued to stay in Rock Town, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.

However, there were two sides to everything. Although there were disadvantages, the benefits were also very practical.

Now that Peyroux’s Heart had been accumulating strength, his strength was also breaking through quickly.

Even if the overseas forces really came, as long as there were no Magisters, they would not cause any trouble.

At noon, Ye Tian walked to the dining room to eat. When he saw Annie, he remembered that there was something else.

He did not have any intention of kissing her now, but since the Monarch had given the order, he could not send her back.

‘Forget it, I’ll take care of it first.’ In any case, he was not short of money.

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

However, in the following days, Ye Tian realized that things were not like that.

Annie was about 20 years old and was very lively and even a little mischievous. After interacting with him for a period of time, she realized that Ye Tian’s personality was very gentle and was not like the rumors.

From then on, Annie would find time for Ye Tian to relax and pester him.

Due to his unlimited lifespan, Ye Tian was very old but there was no sign of old age on his face. He still looked like he was 21 years old.

This made Annie treat Ye Tian as her peer and would come to ask him questions whenever she was free.

Most of these questions were related to magic. It was obvious that Annie was very interested in magic and wanted to become a mage. However, Ye Tian had no intention of teaching. In order to send Annie away, he could also pass the time.

Ye Tian would either accompany Annie to stroll around the city or play some small games with her.

Because of this, Ye Tian even replicated some poker games from his previous life.

Time flew and three years had passed since Annie moved into Ye Tian’s residence.

“Brother Ye, come and take a look. The flowers are blooming.”

Beside the pool, Annie pointed at the bright red water and danced excitedly.

“Here we go.”

Ye Tian walked over with a helpless expression.

The flowers were a little similar to the lotus seedpods in his previous life. They were the kind of lotus roots that bloomed after being planted. The petals were light pink.

When the breeze blew, the petals swayed left and right, like fairies dancing in the water. Even the air seemed to be surrounded by a faint fragrance.

“See, I’m not wrong. They’ll definitely bloom.”

At this moment, Annie turned around. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing an unconcealed smugness. When he first obtained the seed, Ye Tian felt that the vitality inside was not strong and was certain that it would not grow.

Annie didn’t believe him and insisted on buying it back.

“You’re good.”

Ye Tian replied in a rather doting tone. In the past three years, they had gotten along extremely well and even had the illusion that they were living together with Windsor.

No, Windsor was quieter than Annie. She was not so lively.

He wondered how Windsor was doing now…

Noticing that Ye Tian was looking up at the sky with a melancholic expression, Annie asked in concern while feeling puzzled, “Brother Ye, what’s wrong?”

“It’s okay.”

Ye Tian shook his head gently with no intention of explaining.

In the afternoon, Annie pestered Ye Tian again and the two of them went out for a walk.

After dinner, Ye Tian returned to his room and prepared to meditate.

At this moment, the slightly hot temperature in his arms attracted his attention. When he reached in and pulled it out again, there was a necklace in his hand. It was Peyroux’s Heart.

At this moment, the gem on Peyroux’s Heart shone brightly, emitting a scorching temperature.

“Full?”

Sensing the message from Peyroux’s Heart, Ye Tian was slightly stunned.

A long time ago, he knew that Peyroux’s Heart definitely couldn’t accumulate without restraint. However, when this day really came, he was still stunned.

Ye Tian estimated that with the abundant energy inside, if he detonated it with all his might, it was not impossible for him to unleash power close to that of a Magister.

“Since the Peyroux’s Heart is full, I should leave.”

Ye Tian used magic to isolate the temperature of the Peyroux’s Heart and put it away again.

Back then, he had settled down in the capital mainly for Peyroux’s Heart.

With the thought of leaving, Ye Tian could no longer suppress his thoughts and organized his things.

In reality, there were not many items that could be collected. Ye Tian only chose a few clothes and some money.

Before he opened the door and left, Ye Tian suddenly paused and a look of hesitation flashed across his face. In the end, he turned around and returned to the desk. He lit up the light and quickly wrote. After dawn.

Annie woke up early and enjoyed her breakfast.

It was almost noon and Ye Tian was still not up. She could not help but knock on the door.

Thunk. “Eh…”

The gatehouse was unlocked and opened with a light touch.

There was no one in the room. Annie was stunned. Where was Brother Ye?

She felt as if her heart was empty as she entered in a daze. “Brother Ye?”

After calling out a few times, there was only her own echo. She came to the desk, and the neatly folded papers caught her attention.

“Annie, I’m leaving…” Patter, patter.

With just a glance at the beginning, Annie could no longer control her emotions. Bean-sized tears flowed down her eyes and fell on the desk.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

The Frost Snow Empire had long been destroyed. The Red Moon Empire ruled this world, and Monarch Noxia assigned his sons to guard various regions.

There had been no news of Ye Tian ever since he left. Initially, the Monarch was still searching. However, on second thought, with Ye Tian’s strength, if he really wanted to hide, it would be useless even if they dug three feet into the ground. Hence, he gave up. However, Ye Tian’s residence was still there. Annie lived there with a few servants.

In the past ten years, the Empire had undergone a huge change. The most direct point was the resurgence of the Magic Academy.

Recently, there was news in Maple Forest City that the Monarch was preparing to hold a grand competition and invite all the capable in the country to participate. Anyone who could stand out in the competition people had a chance to become a minister or even obtain a noble title.

As soon as this news came out, people from all over the world prepared to set off. This was because, in a stable era, it was extremely difficult to obtain a noble title without any battle achievements. The venue for this competition was at the foot of a mountain 30 kilometers away from Maple Forest City.

This mountain was called Crescent Moon Mountain, famous for the winding river at the foot of the mountain.
