When Jiang Yuanchi first introduced Barbosa to Xu Nan, she had clearly told him that this young legendary wizard was only in his twenties.
During the Aurora Celebration, Xu Nan had occasionally heard about some of Barbosa's deeds from others.
All signs indicated that, in most people's impressions and understanding, Barbosa really was only twenty years old.
That was different from what Hophord had said.
Xu Nan suppressed his restless sixth sense and asked Hophord to confirm it.
"Are you sure? Of course I'm sure."
"I still remember the scene when Ms. Babeila brought him back to Stephenson! He was just a little boy then, and in the blink of an eye, he'd grown into a big boy."
"My memory definitely isn't wrong, and there's no way I could mistake him for someone else..."
Hophord stubbornly insisted that his memory was correct.
Barbosa was Babeila's disciple and had long been designated as the successor to the head of the School of Prophecy. The two had spent quite a long time together as master and disciple. Not long after Babeila disappeared, Barbosa took up the banner of the School of Prophecy and swiftly became a legend.
That was Hophord's account.
It differed somewhat from the information provided by Jiang Yuanchi and the others.
"Interesting."
"An ever-changing age?"
Xu Nan sank into thought.
If Hophord's memory was correct, then this young head of the School of Prophecy was likely hiding an even more important secret.
It was better not to provoke a big shot who hid himself so deeply.
"Did you get it?"
Xu Nan already had a guess regarding Barbosa. But he had neither the interest nor the ability to interfere with a legendary wizard's schemes for now, so he asked about what concerned him most.
"Of course."
