If a sword is sufficiently hard, it can be regarded as an outstanding one among fine swords. However, this particular sword was rather large, posing difficulties for Glen in its usage. Even when transformed into a seventh - level werewolf, the sword still seemed overly large.

Regarding Glen's plight, Daof claimed he could offer a solution.

Daof began to inscribe numerous intricate runes upon the red greatsword while chanting various incantations.

Once the spell - casting was complete, Daof stated, "I've enchanted this greatsword with a size - control magic."

As he spoke, he made a beckoning gesture, and the greatsword immediately soared into the air, drifted towards Daof, and gradually shrank until it was only slightly taller than Daof himself.

"This is the limit of what I can do. It can only shrink to this extent," Daof informed Glen.

"This is quite sufficient," Glen expressed his satisfaction. Even if he didn't sell the sword, he could keep it for his own use. He decided to give it a try for now.

Glen took the red greatsword and made a few practice swings. The weight had been reduced somewhat, and it felt relatively comfortable to wield.

Daof then added, "I'll impart to you the incantation inscribed on the sword. From now on, you can adjust its size according to your needs."

Glen was even more delighted.

Daof raised his hand and pointed, and a rather tongue - twister incantation emerged in Glen's mind.

Glen attempted to recite the incantation for enlargement, and the greatsword in his hand gradually grew larger.

He then recited the incantation for reduction, and the greatsword shrank again until it reached its minimum size.

"Thank you, teacher! You've really been a great help!"

Glen expressed his gratitude earnestly.

Daof merely stroked his beard and smiled.

After conversing beside the caravan for a while longer, Glen and Daof, accompanied by the apprentices, returned to the magic house.

Glen informed Daof of his intention to return to Bayek, and the latter was not surprised. Calculating the time, it was already a few days later than originally planned.

"Your control over magic power has improved significantly now, which will greatly expedite your future learning speed. But always remember to remain humble. Sometimes, learning magic is an extremely tedious task. Without patience, even the best talent is wasted. Do you understand, Glen?"

Daof offered words of advice before Glen's departure.

Glen listened attentively. When Daof finally asked, he nodded to indicate his understanding.

Daof continued, "By now, you've learned most of the essential basic knowledge. It's sufficient for you to delve into the study of dispelling magic. How soon you can become a first - level mage after returning depends on you."

After that, Mako added, "If you truly encounter difficulties, you should come back here. We'll provide you with guidance."

The two mages didn't elaborate further. After Glen promised to remember their words, he left the magic house with his luggage.

The apprentices on the balcony watched him leave with great reluctance. After all, without Glen, there would be no more stories for them to listen to.

Leaves and Mushroom were in floods of tears, constantly shouting for Glen to come back soon.

Glen was deeply touched by the two young girls' reluctance to part with him. He repeatedly assured them and then left the protective magic formation outside.

The group in front of the caravan was ready to set off. Glen asked for the name of the male elf.

It turned out his name was Kyle. He had grown up on the wasteland and acquired a set of survival skills in the wild. His strength was equivalent to that of a second - level extraordinary being.

Glen didn't bother asking about the others for now. He could get to know them gradually in the future.

The caravan set off in a grand procession. On the afternoon of the fourth day, they reached the outskirts of Bayek.

Just as they were about to enter the outer forest of Bayek, a series of rapid rumbling sounds came from within.

Kyle and the others instinctively became alert. Then, a huge black creature rushed out of the forest. It was ferociously ugly, with interlaced fangs that sent chills down one's spine.

Just as Kyle was about to shout a warning, the subsequent scene nearly made him fall off his horse.

Because the seemingly powerful and fearsome creature came to a sudden halt in front of Glen's large deer, stuck out its tongue, and rubbed its massive head against Glen.

So it's Glen's pet...

This was the unanimous thought among Kyle and his group.

Glen pushed NightRoar away with one hand, his expression rather odd. "Where did you learn this?"

You see, although Glen sometimes referred to NightRoar as a big dog, the latter's habits had nothing to do with those of a dog.

Its current reaction really puzzled Glen.

NightRoar let out a couple of whines, conveying its meaning at the moment.

After listening, Glen's face darkened. It turned out that NightRoar had served as a mount for Tia and the others these days. Once, in Dude Town, it saw a dog that was very much loved by its owner, so it decided to imitate.

"You're not a dog. Don't imitate a dog in the future. It makes you look so undignified. What's the point?"

NightRoar immediately straightened itself up and whined a few more times, indicating that it actually thought it was rather stupid to act like that, but Tia and those girls who often came to play here liked it.

"You mean Lila and Bonnie? They actually come here to play?" Glen was speechless. After a pause, he said, "Well, you can act like that in front of them then."

NightRoar's erect ears drooped listlessly.

Glen gently patted the neck of his subordinate and then led the caravan into the outer forest of Bayek.

He arranged for the caravan to stop by the roadside in the outer forest. Glen told Kyle to wait there for a while and then he himself headed towards the farm.

After being away for so many days, I wonder how well they've managed my farm? …Glen thought to himself.

Although he had given all the necessary instructions before leaving, he still felt a bit uneasy.

Before long, his excellent hearing picked up the sounds of various livestock in the farm, as well as the voices of the elven lady, Ravel, and Tia.

When he could see the entire farm clearly, Glen didn't notice anything amiss at first. But then he saw the three who were supposed to be managing the farm actually teasing a ram.

At this moment, an enraged ram was chasing and ramming at Gotaya. The elven lady had a calm smile on her face, making various dodging movements to play with the ram.

Ravel and Tia were acting as loyal spectators outside the sheep pen. Every time the elven lady evaded the ram's charge, they would cheer and clap happily.

"My turn! My turn!" Tia suddenly shouted eagerly.

Gotaya leaped out of the fence, and Tia climbed over the fence, ready to continue teasing the unlucky ram.

"You really know how to have fun," Glen's voice drifted over at this moment.

The three of them turned their heads simultaneously, all wearing expressions of surprise.

Tia quickly became extremely delighted and was about to climb out of the fence again to give Glen a big hug.

But the ram seized this opportunity and gave the little maid's buttocks a hard butt.

The little maid let out an "ouch" and was knocked to the ground, her face and body covered in dirt.
