Riesen’s face stiffened slightly as hatred stirred in his heart.
‘Damn him! A re Third-level Spell Caster, he’s only an official mber of Ozmu. Just wait until I’ve cultivated the Pandora Demon Ability, Fiery Collapse. Who will you be in comparison?’
Despite the dark hatred in his heart, Riesen did not dare reveal any of his dissatisfaction. In fact, he forced a wide smile on his face. “Naturally, I won’t dare to get myself involved in Sir Weiss’ mission. However, I have a better understanding of Floating City, so perhaps I may be of so help to Sir Weiss’ mission.”
Wizard Weiss frowned slightly, then his expression softened sowhat. He replied in a level tone, “That’s right, aren’t associate mbers like you tasked with gathering information? This is the essence of your job, and if you haven’t carried this out properly, then Ozmu will not have any need to keep you guys around. Tell about what’s happening with the Wright clan. Rember to only highlight the important points.”
“The Wright clan?”
Riesen blanked out for a mont, but he quickly figured out the real purpose Ozmu had sent Wizard Weiss to Floating City. It could be for the sake of the gifted Spell Caster, Wizard Shane of the Wright clan.
Shane was reportedly only an Entrance-level Spell Caster but had already displayed extrely astonishing talents. Currently, he had already constructed Four-Elental spells and was constructing a fifth spell.
Even if Shane did not join any spell casters’ organization, his future accomplishnts would surely be incredible. The Wright clan seed to have pooled all its resources into Shane.
There was no doubt that Ozmu had sent Wizard Weiss to Floating City because of Shane.
“Wizard Weiss, Shane is heavily guarded by the Wright clan. I’m only afraid that it won’t be easy to sway him.”
Wizard Riesen muttered to himself for a mont before venturing to speak carefully.
“Not easy to sway him? What a joke! Who among those that Ozmu have set their sight on, would not be swayed? Shane won’t be a problem. However, after the big battle with the Dark Magic Region, Abyss Fort, and other spell casters’ organizations, both spell casters’ organizations and Spell Caster clans have been heavily guarding against Ozmu. We’ve only just co in contact with this Shane, but we were discovered by the Wright clan, and now Shane is confined within the clan.
“However, to think that a re Spell Caster clan wants to resist Ozmu – what a wishful thinking! Thus, Ozmu did not plan to waste any more ti with the Wright clan and have sent to go straight to the clan and bring Shane out. I’m afraid that I’ve only heard a small piece of news regarding these Spell Caster clans, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll just have to head straight for the Wright clan and take Shane away. Whoever stands in my way will be killed!”
An arrogant expression had crept over Wizard Weiss’ face. Not only did he think nothing of Wizard Riesen but he even made light of all the Spell Caster clans in Floating City.
Riesen should have known that those in Ozmu were all maniacs with delusions of grandeur, but now that he had t such an egotistical madman from Ozmu, he felt helpless.
However, Riesen, who had a clear understanding of the capability of the Wright clan could not help but to warn Wizard Weiss. “Wizard Weiss, the rest of the Wright clan might not be much, but there’s an old fellow who is a Fourth-level Spell Caster. I’m afraid that it would be troubleso. How about we hold on for now, and properly co up with a foolproof plan that will allow us to take Wizard Shane away without causing any disturbances.”
“Bring Shane away secretly? That’s not Ozmu’s style, and what’s more, it’s not a style of mine, Weiss! He’s a trifling Fourth-level Spell Caster and a Three-Elental Wizard. Who knows how many puny Spell Casters like him I’ve dealt with before? That’s enough, Riesen, go make your arrangents. Tomorrow, we shall call upon the Wright clan and I shall bring Shane away. No one can stop !”
Wizard Weiss’ voice was soft, but his words were filled with confidence.
‘He’s a madman and a galomaniac with such a stupid plan. Does he think that the alliance of the Spell Caster clans is rely for show? Even if most Spell Caster clans dare not interfere, what about Sterling House? Although Sterling House had never ddled in struggles of power, Floating City is a stronghold of Sterling House. If too much trouble is made, it’s hard to guarantee that Sterling House would not take action...’
Riesen considered things comprehensively and was careful in all matters. He had stayed in Floating City for so many years, yet not a single person knew who he truly was except that one could see Riesen was prudent and cautious in doing things.
Although Riesen was scolding Weiss inwardly, when he looked up and saw Wizard Weiss’ haughty expression, he gaped in silence and did not offer any more advice. He knew that even if he ntioned the possibility of Sterling House’s involvent, Wizard Weiss, with such a brash arrogant attitude, would not change his so-called “plan”.
‘Hmph, if you want to die then do it alone. I’ll better prepare, so in case things go wrong, I’ll be able to pull out imdiately and let the lunatic throw away his life.’
Wizard Riesen had his own plan, but he still felt very dejected. Once he had pulled out, he would no longer be able to return to Floating City. This would put an end to his sche to obtain benefits for himself from Ozmu while collecting various cultivation resources in Floating City.
However, after so careful evaluation, Riesen decided that his life was more precious. He would not act insanely like the madman Wizard Weiss.
...
“Ozmu sent Wizard Weiss who had arrived in Floating City. Moreover, he’s presently at the secret residence of Wizard Riesen, an associate mber of Ozmu.”
In an exquisitely decorated room, a few Spell Casters were standing in a group, discussing a rather important issue.
That previous report was given by a Third-level Spell Caster.
“Weiss? I’ve heard that he used to be a mber of a dium-sized spell casters’ organization in Thule, but under the influence of Ozmu, he betrayed his organization without hesitation. He defected to Ozmu and beca its mber. Now that so many years have passed, although he’s still a Third-level Spell Caster as before, I’m afraid that his powers have increased many tis over. It should be known that those in Ozmu have the ability to kill an opponent beyond their own level. Each and every one of them is a maniacal freak.”
A blue-robed Spell Caster said in a low voice.
“Matthew, you’re the clan elder of the Delman clan, so what should we do now? Do we send our honorable Fourth-level Spell Caster to help the Wright clan and oppose Ozmu together, or do we sit back and do nothing, quietly observing what happens?”
They were headed by a lanky Spell Caster who was dressed in a gray Wizard robe lined with gold. This was the clan elder of the Delman clan, Elena’s father, Wizard Matthew.
Wizard Matthew had remained silent, furrowing his brow thoughtfully. His white palm was grasping a small black magic staff and he kept fiddling with it. They could see that Wizard Matthew was struggling with his complicated thoughts.
After a long ti, Wizard Matthew finally raised his head and looked at the Spell Casters. Everyone who was present here practically made up the core of the Delman clan’s strength, but there were only five Third-level Spell Casters, including himself.
Additionally, there was an old Wizard who was a Fourth-level Spell Caster, but he was the strongest the Delman clan had. They would not usually bring out this old Wizard, much less send him into risky situations.
Most Spell Caster clans in the entire Floating City were similar to the Delman clan. The difference in power, when compared to spell casters’ organizations, even the smallest ones, was far too big.
“Everybody, we’re different from spell casters’ organizations. Our power is far too weak. A few months ago, the Dark Magic Region, Abyss Fort, Fire City, and Ashes Region had joined forces to oppose Ozmu, and a Seventh-level Spell Caster in Ozmu even died. However, we’re not a spell casters’ organization. This ti, Ozmu had only sent one Third-level Spell Caster, yet it’s as if we’re preparing for a great enemy, and we’re even unsure if we’re able to win this round.
“However, to the powerful Ozmu, a Third-level Spell Caster is barely anything. It’s only because Shane from the Wright clan had sowhat piqued their interest that they had sent Wizard Weiss here. We, of the Delman clan, are not even qualified to contend against Ozmu, so my decision is to recall any mber of the Delman clan who is currently outside. For these few days, we must not carelessly leave the clan, and we’ll quietly observe what happens!”
After Wizard Matthew had spoken, he looked toward the other Third-level Spell Casters.
The Third-level Spell Casters each wore a despondent look. It was true, the disparity between them and Ozmu was too big. The Dark Magic Region and other spell casters’ organizations could still join forces and battle a few rounds with Ozmu, but Spell Caster clans like them were not even qualified to be Ozmu’s opponent, even if they ford an alliance.
Therefore, Wizard Matthew had made the most proper and most rational decision.
“We agree with the clan elder’s plan.”
Wizard Matthew nodded. “Alright, all of you should head down to make arrangents to recall all mbers of the Delman clan who are in Floating City, and have every one of them return to the clan.”
Wizard Matthew gave his official order, and these Spell Casters turned around and exited, ready to make arrangents to recall all clan mbers.
Soon, the entire room beca quiet, and only Wizard Matthew was left. He gave a slight, bitter smile. “Oh Wright, how can Spell Caster clans like us possibly retain a true prodigy? Perhaps you should’ve sent Shane to Fire City in the beginning, then you wouldn’t be facing a crisis as you’re in now!”
Wizard Matthew mumbled softly as his faced filled with a powerless look. In private, he was on good personal terms with the Spell Casters of the Wright clan, but the present matter was far too serious. If one was not careful, one’s clan might end up destroyed completely, so even if he was good friends with the Wright clan, he dared not mobilize his clan’s power to help the Wright clan.
...
Floating City was initially bustling with movent, but in a short period, all the clan mbers were speedily recalled back to their clans. The big Floating City looked empty and desolate, creating a eerie scene.
“What has happened here?’
rlin followed behind Elena as they walked toward the Delman clan. They witnessed Floating City becoming desolate in the blink of an eye as if many people were escaping from sothing. This made rlin very suspicious.
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
Suddenly, a mysterious rune appeared on Elena’s hand. It was glowing and vibrating slightly.
Elena’s face changed. “This seems to be the clan’s order to summon all mbers back. rlin, sothing might have happened. Co on, let’s hurry to the clan.”
Following that, Elena quickened her pace, bringing rlin as they rushed toward the Delman clan.
