The Heart of the Ocean Necklace indeed looked a bit extravagant, not just the large gemstone, but the other gem decorations were also luxurious.

Such a luxurious necklace can hardly be pulled off without a certain air and appearance.

Lillian wore it perfectly, her own looks and demeanor fully supported the necklace, ensuring it wouldn't overshadow her.

The Heart of the Ocean seemed like a mere accessory on Lillian.

"Not bad. By the way, here's the five hundred gold coins I borrowed back then, I'm returning it to you with five magic stones." Herag took out the pouch that originally held the gold coins, now containing five magic stones.

Lillian rolled her eyes at him: "You can keep them, do you dislike my things this much? I've been using this pouch since I was little."

Herag immediately put the pouch away, smiling, "Got it."

"I didn't expect you could be promoted without relying on Moonlight Forest, that's quite impressive." Lillian said.

Herag replied, "Mainly with Mr. Larry's help, I couldn't have done it without him."

He was telling the truth; without Larry's help, he might've perished in the war with Green Cottage.

Lillian nodded, "You've met a good teacher. By the way, has Malcolm been giving you trouble again?"

Herag shook his head, "Haven't run into him for now, with Mr. Blake and others' protection, there's no need to worry about that."

As they walked along a small path at Augustus Academy, wizard apprentices holding books came and went everywhere.

The place looked much like a college campus of his previous life, with many benches along the roads where people were reading, and couples were chatting together.

Lillian moved closer, saying, "Rest assured, I've already had the teacher warn Malcolm. If he dares to trouble you again, I won't spare him."

As she said this, Lillian's tone was a bit domineering, exuding confidence in handling Malcolm.

"Thank you, Princess Lillian! But what if I'm the one giving him trouble?" Herag joked.

Lillian was speechless, "You trouble him? If you're rushing to die, then there's nothing I can do."

Herag chuckled without explaining.

With his current strength, he was indeed a little lacking in challenging Malcolm, but give it some time, and that might not be the case.

Herag and Lillian strolled around, briefly reevaluating the campus atmosphere.

While wandering, a blond-haired, blue-eyed man approached, exuding a noble aura.

Upon seeing Lillian, he excitedly called, "Lillian!"

Lillian turned and glanced back, saying, "What is it, Kross?"

Kross jogged over, "Haven't seen you for a while, since you got promoted to Official Wizard, you've seldom attended classes."

"I've been adjusting lately, so I've attended fewer classes." Lillian replied.

"And who is this?" Kross noticed Herag and asked politely.

"This is my friend, no need to ask more." Lillian seemed unwilling to let Herag get into trouble because of her, so she didn't even introduce him to Kross.

Kross nodded gentlemanly, "I see, must be a friend from another Wizard Organization, I've never seen him before."

"Why are you asking so much? Does it concern you?" Lillian grew a bit angry.

Seeing this, Kross quickly bowed his head, "My mistake, sorry for the disturbance."

After apologizing with a bow, he quickly departed.

Lillian, speechless, said: "He's so annoying, every time I take a class, no matter what subject I enroll in, he follows me to class and just won't leave."

"Isn't that just a sycophant?" Herag joked.

Lillian looked puzzled, "Sycophant? What does that mean?"

Herag awkwardly said, "Ahem... It doesn't mean much, it's basically another word for a pursuer."

Lillian hurriedly waved her hand, "Forget it, their entire family is just abnormal."

"Abnormal?" Herag asked, perplexed.

Lillian glanced around, then cast a Sound Insulation Spell and whispered in Herag's ear, "They have a lot of offspring, but the relationships are..."

…

After hearing, Herag was dumbfounded, feeling his worldview shattered.

These people were practically inhuman in their pursuit of pureblood, an entire family of abnormalities.

No wonder Lillian seemed so disgusted, even thinking about it made Herag feel a bit nauseous, he quickly wiped his hands, grateful he hadn't shaken hands with that person.

After the experiences of the past few years, Herag felt that many wizards needed psychological treatment, with quite a few having psychological issues.

Herag and Lillian continued to walk and soon saw another familiar face.

"So you came too." Malcolm smiled, his freckles apparent.

Herag never expected to see Malcolm again at Augustus Academy.

"Why are you here?" Herag asked.

He wasn't afraid of Malcolm at all now; in terms of power, he could outlast him.

Besides, this was Augustus Academy; even if given a hundred courage, Malcolm wouldn't dare make a move.

Malcolm shrugged, "I'm here to register for the test!"

Herag was puzzled, "You're not yet sixty?"

"Of course not, I'm only fifty-five this year." Malcolm replied.

Herag was a bit shocked, never did he expect Malcolm to be so young.

At only fifty-five years old, he was already a Crystalization Wizard, and quite powerful at that.

He didn't show his surprise outwardly, instead musing, "Hmm... If Lune were still alive, he might also be here for the test now, what a pity."

The moment Herag said this, Malcolm's smile disappeared, his face immediately cold.

"You looking for death?" Malcolm said through gritted teeth.

"Yeah, I'm looking for death, why don't you try and kill me, bastard?" Herag spread his hands, acting rogueish.

Malcolm was so infuriated his lungs were about to burst, his face turning red as the magical energy around him began to fluctuate.

Lillian directly scolded, "Do you want to die?"

At her words, Malcolm immediately calmed down, realizing where they were.

"I warn you, if anything happens to Herag during the test phase, whether he falls on his own or is hurt by someone else, I'll hold you responsible! If you dare touch my... my friend, I'll kill you." Lillian threatened.

Malcolm struggled to control his emotions, biting his teeth and turning to leave without a word.

By this time, many wizards from Augustus Academy had gathered, all standing near Lillian.

Judging by their posture, it seemed that if Malcolm made even the slightest move, they would act immediately.

In the Barren Land, no one could bully people from Augustus Academy, let alone inside Augustus Academy itself.
