Chapter 1838: I Can Settle One Child With Each Punch
Xixi took Annie in as her disciple, so she kept Annie behind. She said that she needed to interact more with Annie to form a relationship before she started to teach her.
Mag knew that Xixi was a gentle and detailed maiden, and was also Annie’s teacher now, so he didn’t have any objections. He returned to the restaurant alone.

“Master, where do we go to look for good food now?” Amy nibbled on a corn cob as she followed Krassu around. Her cheeks puffed out just like a silly little hamster’s.
Krassu was holding a small basket filled with all kinds of snacks, and he looked at Amy with exasperation. “Did you not have enough, Little Amy?”
The first thing the little one did after arriving in Rodu was to drag him along to look for good food.
They had already eaten through three streets, but she had no intention to stop. Her target was always on the next street.
“Erm, I think I can eat through another three more streets.” Amy nodded honestly.
Krassu shook the basket, and said smilingly, “Let’s bring these along to eat on our way. We need to make a trip to the Magus Tower to meet some people.”
“Alright.” Amy nodded reluctantly, and followed Krassu up the horse-drawn carriage.
“Master, is the Magus Tower built with magic casters? How many magic casters were used to build it in the past?” Amy asked curiously while munching on the corn cob.
“Erm…” Krassu cocked his eyebrows. Why did this question sound so weird? “The Magus Tower is the Roth Empire’s magic casters’ holy land. The best magic casters in the Roth Empire are all gathered there. They study magic, and take in many disciples so that the numbers of magic casters in the Roth Empire can increase rapidly, and the Roth Empire can become stronger.”
“Then, why are you not there? Are you not good enough?” Amy tilted her head.
“I…” Krassu was dumbfounded. “I established the Magus Tower back then, but I don’t want to manage it now.”
“Really?” Amy’s eyes lit up. “I didn’t expect Master to be so formidable.”
“That’s for sure, Little Amy. Your master is the most famous magic caster on the Norland Continent, the Lord of Fire, Krassu. I established the Magus Tower back then alone…” Krassu spoke with fervor and assurance, but he suddenly realized Amy was quiet. He turned to look, and saw the little one digging through the basket fervently, looking for food. She was in a dilemma as to whether to eat the little drumstick or the little wheat biscuit first. She wasn’t listening to him at all.
Krassu sighed inwardly. Only this disciple of his never took him seriously. One had to know that people lined up from the entrance of Magus Tower to the city gate, trying to be his disciple.
Amy finally decided to eat the little drumstick first. She took a bit of it, and then asked, “Then, do I have to fight with them later?”
Krassu smilingly said, “The Magic Caster Tournament will only begin formally tomorrow morning. Does Amy want to fight with those children or those adult magic casters?”
“I can settle one child with each punch. It’s no fun at all.” Amy shook her head with a sparkle in her eyes. She clenched her little fists, and said, “I want to fight big magic casters so I can pull a few more punches.”
“Alright, then Master will arrange for you to take part in the adults’ competitions.” Krassu nodded. He knew Amy’s ability very well. She could handle herself in the adults’ competitions. She would be bullying the children if she took part in the children’s competition.
The horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the Magus Tower.
The magic casters who were guarding the Magus Tower looked at the horse-drawn carriage warily. One of them even approached the carriage, holding a magic caster’s staff.
A little girl in a complete set of magician robes flipped open the curtains, and jumped out of the carriage with a wheat biscuit in hand.
Then, an old man with white hair and white beard followed after her closely.
That young magic caster was stunned before exclaiming, “Lord Krassu!”
The magic casters who were going in and out of the Magus Tower all looked over. They all looked surprised when their gazes landed on Krassu. They all crowded over, and then bowed to Krassu respectfully. “Lord Krassu.”
“Wow, Master actually has so many followers.” Amy looked astonished.
Krassu nodded seriously before he brought Amy into the Magus Tower, but he had a smug smile. These youngsters were indeed very respectful.
“Lord Krassu still looks as formidable as ever!”
“Yes. He is the Magus Tower’s founder, the Lord of Fire and the most powerful magic caster in the Roth Empire. He’s a legendary powerhouse that even the giant dragons are afraid of.”
“Is that little girl the disciple that he has just taken in? She’s so tiny and cute. She should be our little junior sister.”
“Tsk, according to hierarchy, you have to call her ‘junior uncle’.”
“Perhaps Lord Krassu brought her here to take part in the Magic Caster Tournament? We have never seen such a young contestant before, even in the junior section.”
All the magic casters were conversing softly. They were rather curious about Krassu bringing his little disciple back.
Along the way, all the magic casters were surprised to see Krassu, but they still bowed to the latter respectfully.
Although Krassu had gone behind the scenes for many years, and even declared his exit from the Magus Tower, his influence in the Magus Tower hadn’t diminished at all.
“Woah, Master, you’re hanging on the wall.” Amy suddenly halted her footsteps, and pointed at the giant wall mural at the entrance. Krassu, who was wearing a magician robe and holding a magic caster’s staff, was right in the center.
“This is the Wall of Honor. I’m not hanging on the wall,” Krassu explained helplessly.
The people around them covered their mouths and giggled. This little girl was so innocent and cute.
“That irritating mister is there too,” Amy said, pointing at Richard’s portrait at the side.
It became silent all of a sudden, and everyone had a weird expression. However, no one dared to say anything.
They had long heard that President Richard and Master Krassu were at odds, but this was a topic which they only dared to discuss privately. They didn’t expect this little girl to point at President Richard’s portrait and say “that irritating mister” openly.
This was the current president of the Magus Tower, a 10th-tier great magic caster and one of the most powerful magic casters in the Roth Empire.
“He’s indeed rather irritating.” Krassu nodded, and continued walking ahead with Amy.
After walking for a short distance, the mountainous Brent stopped in front of them. He wiped the sweat away from his forehead before saying to Krassu with an obsequious smile, “What are you doing here, my lord?”
Krassu flicked a glance at Brent, and mockingly said, “I built this tower. Do I still need to report to you before coming here to take a look?”
“No, no, no. Of course, you don’t have to report to me. It’s just that we didn’t prepare to welcome you properly.” Brent quickly shook his head. The fat on his face was trembling, and he was so terrified that his face turned pale.
“Ha, Little Amy, let’s go.” Krassu snorted, and continued walking forward.
“Mister, you should go on a diet, even though you definitely also won’t look good after you slim down,” Amy said to Brent smilingly before skipping to catch up with Krassu.
