ARCHDEUS

THE WISE MEN SAY(3)

The goblin spiked towards Alven, immediately Alven jumped dodging the attack. But the goblin rushed forward, smashing his shield at Alven.

*Praanck

Alven slightly staggered as he landed on the ground as a result of hitting the shield. But this is not a time for rest. The goblin once again moved. He threw his spear. The accuracy of his attack was accurate. Alven cannot escape.

*Swiimm ...

A stone wall the size of an adult appeared in front of Alven, blocking the straight-sliding spear. This is not wrong, this is one of Alven's magic, [Low-Solid Wall].

Waw! As expected.

Alex was really amazed by the ability of Alven who was able to cast a spell as fast and accurate as that. Alex watched the two creatures battle from behind the bushes, like a pervert watching a young woman bathing in a river. He saw Alven jump over the wall of dirt that the boy had made before. Then Alven who saw the goblin ran towards Alven while holding a dagger that was previously on the goblin's waist.

Alven tried to stay calm. He then cast a water element magic spell. The goblin that was splashed by the water rushed in shock. He took a step back to make sure that this water was neither acidic nor toxic. The water burst attack that the Alven released was just plain fresh water, it did not have any effect and it was made from [Create Water] magic. If viewed based on its purpose, actually [Create Water] magic is not magic for fighting, but rather lifestyle spell (everyday spell). Other examples of lifestyle spells are [Continual Light], [Fotia], [Dry], and [Air Conditioning], all of which are level 1 spells.

After the goblin made sure that the water that was soaking his body did not give any effect, he focused back on Alven. Yet Alven had cast another magic, it was lightning. The attack was the [Electric Current] spell that Alven had.

"Yahoo!!"

The goblin screamed from being electrocuted. The goblin's body became stiff and also like it was on fire. When the sting stopped, there appeared a not-so-thick smoke from the goblin's body. He felt a little dizzy, but that didn't mean he gave up.

Alven is exhausted too. He had already cast magic several times, his mana must have been drained a lot. Alven took the risk, he ran to attack the goblin at close range. The goblin was surprised to see the change in Alven's attack pattern, but he did not dislike the change. He grinned then swung the shield he held towards Alven.

Alven dodged the swinging shield by jumping it then he emerged from behind the shield, hoping to surprise the goblin, however ....

*Slashhh!!

Alven's stomach is slashed by a goblin's dagger. Then the goblin threw away his shield, and with one hand empty, he punched Alven in the abdomen. The alven that was just a teenager crashed and fell to the ground. The goblin laughed, he approached Alven leisurely and arrogantly. Alven tried to get up, but the injury and pain he suffered forbade him to do that. Then a huge shadow covered her. The shadow came from the goblin who was right in front of him.

Poking out his long tongue, the goblin was intent on killing Alven. At this moment Alven was terrified, the terror of the goblins was haunting his mind. He should not have attacked rashly.

*Kraangg!!

The goblin trampled on Alven's body and head. He really wanted to torture her. Alven with his last strength threw a magic that produced a cold liquid that instantly turned into a 30 cm ice crystal that flew straight at the goblins. The goblin who no longer held a shield was unable to withstand the attack from that [Ice] spell. But thanks to Alven's state of pain managed to reduce the accuracy of the attack. At first he wanted to attack the face, but the only one affected was the shoulder. But the goblin was wounded.

"Yarrr!!!"

The goblin was angry. He immediately directed a stabbing attack from the dagger he carried. Alven could not move, he resigned, the only hope was that his master would help him. But will his master still help him even though he has seen him unable to kill a goblin alone? Shamed for not being able to realize his master's expectations, Alven closed his eyes as he felt he was no longer needed by his master.

*Slashhh .. slashhh ....

The sound of flesh being cut was heard many times. Alven was curious what the sound was, he slowly opened his eyes and saw what was happening. Right before him, a goblin that should have stabbed him suddenly fell silent like a statue. Then slowly his body split - no, more precisely chopped up to the size of a thumb. All the bodies of the goblins were cut off, from head to toe. The blood and something that looked like brain and intestinal worms turned like chopped jelly.

The alven that had been showered by the blood from the goblin fell silent. He thought why this could happen. But the only answer he got was that this was all the interference of his master. Alven straightened his head, looking for where his master was. Until finally from a distance he saw a man familiar to him walking closer.

"You've tried your best. I'm proud of you."

Alven only let out a murmur but because Alex had sharp hearing.

"Master, I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

But once again Alex just smiled at him. He then cast a spell on [Heal]. Instantly the wound and tiredness of the Alven disappeared. He is back fit. Alex was holding Alven like a baby.

Although he lost, he was able to use quite a number of magic spells. This exceeds my expectations, he can definitely become a very powerful being later on. Well ..indeed making adventurers their teachers is the right choice. I will ask Atlya to teach her more intensely, Alex thought.

They no longer continue their training. Alex and Alven are back at the mansion.

It was dark and they enjoyed the dinner.

At the dinner table, Alex, Merry, and Alven eat quietly. Not much talk going on. But the mood is not awkward. Instead, it's like a happy family and harmony.

Merry doesn't want to eat if Alex doesn't feed her.

The more day the girl gets spoiled while Alven looks more and more mature.

"Merry, how did you learn today?"

Alex had previously recruited a private tutor for Merry. She was an old woman who looked very friendly and unpretentious. The teacher taught Merry about language and art education.

"Dad, Merry can do poetry!"

"Oh really? Can you hear that?"

Merry shook his head.

"Can't the poem still be imperfect. Merry's gonna make the best poem for Dad."

Alex seemed quite touched by the words of his son. So he stroked the girl's hair.

But when they were enjoying quality time as a family, Justin went to Alex and told him something.

“Tuanku, you got a news.”

“What's Justin?”

Merry was actually quite upset because his spending time was interrupted. But he showed no displeasure at all.

Justin who didn't realize it still smoothly told Alex.

“Master, you got a message from parliament to attend a meeting at the House of Lords.”
