When he came to the dead humans who were killed by the giant tarantula, Baldwin looked at them one by one, and saw that none of them were spared, except the child who survived with only a scratch on her body. The child was a girl, about five or six years old, but by this time, she had fainted.
The others who had already run away, hadn't come back for so long, making Baldwin a little worried. They probably ran away, not coming back anymore. So he buried all the humans killed by the tarantula, and picked up the child, then quickly left and returned to the city.
After seeing that the little girl had no relatives and was also very sociable, he adopted her as his own daughter, and changed her name to Yara.
In the blink of an eye, another two years have passed. Baldwin's essence recovered faster with the continuous activation of spiritual essence. It could also manifest essence crystals, but it only had the power for a single attack, so it couldn't be manifested for a long time.
And the only attack couldn't consume too much energy, otherwise the attack would collapse due to mental dilapidation in the middle of the attack.
Not long after Baldwin was able to manifest the essence crystals, Sharon was notified. For Baldwin's usual actions, no one cared. But for his every move, there was a special person assigned with notifying Sharon to let her know. This was also because of her concern for Baldwin, the grand elder had been helping Baldwin silently behind his back.
When Sharon heard the news, she was very happy. After such a long time, Baldwin's mental strength finally began to show signs of improvement.
As long as he could manifest essence crystals and continue to practice magic, the speed of his improvement should be faster. When Baldwin restored his previous power base, his mood would no longer be depressed, and she would then have a chance to catch up with him. After all, time could heal any wound. So many years of emotional hard work would not be fruitless.
Sharon thought secretly in her heart about how she could help the mage regain his confidence. Sharon remembered the scene when he was among the first batch of students brought by the preliminary trials.
At that time, under the influence of the students, Baldwin had obviously become a lot more cheerful, and he was not the lonely elder he was now, a loner who only knew how to practice magic in seclusion every day.
Yes, she would let the mage continue to lead a group of young students, maybe the effect would be very good for him. Sharon made arrangements immediately and sent someone to call Baldwin over.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
When Sharon finished saying that she wanted to make concessions to Baldwin and bring another group of students, Baldwin did not agree with her.
According to him, his power base had not been restored, and he was afraid that it would affect the mentality of the students. In addition, he also needed more time to harness ether, and see if he could restore his power base as soon as possible.
In fact, there was another reason in Baldwin's mind. He just didn't want to get too close to Sharon. If he started teaching a group of students, he would inevitably have to deal with Sharon often. Although Shannon had passed away for so many years now, every time Baldwin saw Sharon, he would think of his wife which would create a burst of pain in his heart.
But the lonely mage did not plan to leave the academy due to his many good memories of two people from the past. But he had already locked up his heart, and on the other side of the lock, was a world with only him and Shannon.
After some mild arguments, both Baldwin and Sharon took a step back. Baldwin finally agreed to the request to bring a group of students, but chose the teaching location as the old grounds of Profound Academy. And for the reputation of the school, Sharon approved Baldwin's teaching location as a branch of the college. So, this matter was settled.
After that, Sharon began to select students from among the novices to transfer to the branch to study. But there were very few applicants, and knowing that the mage who would be teaching them was Baldwin, almost all of the applicants refused to go
The only ones left behind were Yara, and Zachar who decided to stay after giving in to Yara's persistence. And the third was Lester, who was forced into the branch by Sharon.
From the day the Profound Academy branch was established, there were only three students in the entire branch. The first year also passed like that.
In the second year, Maya and Lynn joined the group. At this point, the branch finally had five students. So Baldwin was actually very happy when Lynn came to the branch.

"My story finished there, and you already know what happened after that. This is the experience of my life. It's the origin of these bows I made." Baldwin said, his eyes gradually turned back to reality from the blurred memories he had. In fact, many details in this story were unknown to Baldwin himself.
From Baldwin's narration, Lynn figured out a lot of things, including the rise and fall of his family, the origin of his teacher's notoriety, the origin of these bows, and the alternative ways of using the bows and so on. There were many things that he didn't know before now.
However, Baldwin did not mention what happened to his parents later, but it was something that he was more concerned about. So, he asked. "Elder, can you tell me what happened to my parents after you left them more than ten years ago?"
Baldwin pondered for a moment, shook his head gently, and said. "We haven't been in touch since we went our different ways. I didn't know until you came to see me that they had passed away. As you can see, the dragonborn, Harbonok, is not only your enemy, but mine too."
At this moment, Yara's voice sounded outside the door.
