I Really Don’t Want to Be the Ruler of the Abyss! - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Preparations Before Departure

Time passed quickly. Rollin had already arrived at the Duke’s residence for a week.

During this period of time, Duke Dupont had been busy for a long time because of the assassination, but in the end, he still could not find out where these assassins came from.

Because the identities of these people could not be found at all, and they were not adventurers of the Union, Duke Dupont speculated that these people were all death guards raised by some noble!

It was already the middle of August.

Before he left, Dupont handed Rollin a Family Medal from the Duke of Dupont.

“There are only six medals in total. With this medal, you’ll get twice the results with half the effort in the Imperial Capital!”

“You’ll experience the specific details yourself in the future.”

“You can go back first in the next few days!”

“Before you go to the Magic Academy, you must say goodbye to my daughter, Monica..”

“This last thing is very important. Don’t forget it!”

After many reminders, Rollin rode a horse back to his home.

Muriel, who had not seen Rollin for a long time, immediately threw herself into Rollin’s arms.

“I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”

Rollin rubbed her black hair and explained, “How is that possible! I’ve been very busy recently, so I didn’t come back!”

“I’ll take you out for a good walk in the next few days!”

Hearing this, she immediately left Rollin’s side and went to rummage through the gifts he had brought back from the Imperial Capital.

It was necessary for Rollin to explain to May about Monica’s matter, so he brought her to a room at the side.

He told her everything about himself and Monica.

After hearing it, she was not as excited as he had imagined. Instead, she felt a lot more relieved.

Rollin thought that May was unhappy, so he immediately hugged her from behind.

“Unhappy?”

May shook her head and explained, “I didn’t expect to be the daughter of the Duke. I don’t even know how to get along with her in the future!”

After kissing her from the side, Rollin explained, “Monica is a very simple girl. She doesn’t have any bad intentions. You just need to get along with her normally!”

May had seen too many noble children. All of them were arrogant and domineering, so she did not really believe him, but she still nodded.

The most important thing to bring before leaving was the legendary weapon left behind by the Butcher.

This ‘Ten Thousand Massacres’ had to be carried with him no matter what. If it was not for the fact that he could not bring a weapon to the Duke’s residence, he would have brought it with him long ago.

The rest of the things were the notes Hall left for Rollin and a few books.

Finally, there was the set of clothes that the Butcher had given him for the first time. Although it was already too small, Rollin still brought it with him.

After everything was prepared, Rollin brought all these things to May’s house.

Before he left, Rollin planned to spend a few days with May and Muriel.

That night, Rollin and May stayed in the same room.

The two of them fell asleep very quickly. Rollin was very awake. Ever since he became proficient in magic, he was no longer sleepy.

He got up and went to the courtyard to meditate.

Perhaps because the magic power in his body had reached its limit, after meditating, Rollin’s magic power rose to the rank of a Magister.

Rollin might be the only Magister in this world who had yet to learn basic magic!

In order to avoid embarrassment after entering the Magic Academy, Rollin immediately took out the intermediate spell collection and learned his favorite spells from it.

Great Flame Arrow, 100-Meter Ice Seal, Gale, Water Ball, and Bow of Light.

In a hurry, Rollin chose these four spells and memorized them all into his brain.

Just as dawn was about to break, Rollin raised his hand and used the Bow of Light to shoot the Great Flame Arrow into the sky.

The intense magic exploded in the sky like a huge firework, creating a spectacular scene.

“This power is a little too strong!”

Fortunately, the sun had already risen, so not many people were paying attention to the magic explosion in the sky.

After completing the magic training, Rollin woke up Muriel and May and brought them to the street to buy some things.

But he was quickly rejected by May because her mother had just recovered, and she could not go too far away.

Moreover, the dishes that she usually cooked were all sent over by Aurelia.

After feeling this awkward situation, Rollin immediately went to the street office and found a servant.

This made May agree to go shopping with Rollin and Muriel.

Because Muriel was still very young at this time, the three of them stood together as a family of three.

Time passed quickly. Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Rollin had all his belongings ready.

After comforting Muriel and May, Rollin went to Aurelia’s office.

“Master, I’m really sorry. I’ve only been with you for a short period of time, and now I have to leave again!”

Hearing this, Aurelia was very gratified. “Don’t worry about me. I’m different from Ward!”

“I don’t have any bad habits. I can still live for a few decades. Just take care of the things at home.”

“I’ll take good care of them while you’re gone!”

When he finally left, Rollin bowed deeply to Aurelia and greeted the pony in the stable.

Then, he went to the Duke’s mansion.

The first thing he did was bid farewell to Monica.

Although she was very reluctant, after Rollin repeatedly comforted her, she finally calmed down and said that she would go to the Magic Academy to visit Rollin.

Then, Rollin turned around and went to Duke Dupont’s office.

After Duke Dupont took a look at Rollin, he found that Rollin’s strength had increased a lot.

“That’s good! When you get to the Magic Academy, you can teach those people a lesson!”

“Let them know that even the poor are the holders of absolute strength!”

After saying that, he gave Rollin a big bag of stones.

“What’s this?”

“This is an item that is one level higher than currency. It’s called a magic stone and has many uses.”

“You can buy things in the Magic Academy.”

“Although it’s not much, you can make do with it for now!”

Rollin immediately nodded his gratitude and left the Duke’s mansion with the items. He followed the map all the way out of the Melville Empire.

His target was Varga City, which was located in the northeast direction. The Imperial Academy of Magic was located deep in the mountains near Varga City.

Every student who went to the Magic Academy had to climb over the mountains alone. If anyone helped them, they would be expelled from the academy.

Rollin did not think much of this route, but he soon realized how dangerous it was.

Coming to this mountainous area, there were cliffs everywhere, and no one could get through with any means of transportation.
