Chapter 222: Hertic School
“Hertic School?” Annan frowned slightly when he heard this familiar na.
He rembered the na — [Hertic Sage’s Stone].
This was the full na of Sage’s Stone that Annan injected before.
So Annan asked nonchalantly, “What is that? Are they spreading so taboo knowledge?”
Hearing this, Salvatore also listened intently.
He rembered that this na was ntioned in the notes left by Benjamin.
Unlike Kafni, as an ordinary person, Albert couldn’t detect the tension between Annan and Salvatore.
“That’s not true.” He just shrugged and said casually, “It’s actually just a wandering wizard and his followers. They ford an organization that’s similar to an archaeological society but also a bit like a philosophical school. However, there aren’t many Transcendeds among them so we didn’t pay them much attention.
“The problem is that when the wizard t Kafni for the first ti, he praised her for her outstanding talents.” When His Highness Albert said this, he glanced at Kafni.
Seeing that Kafni was silent and turned her head away slightly without saying anything, Albert touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, “But after he left, Kafni suddenly said that he is a demon.”
“I only said that his soul is like a demon.” Kafni corrected.
“At that ti, I didn’t realize Kafni’s talents. So I didn’t care much about Kafni’s words…” Albert explained, “But I gave the order just in case tolet the guards shadow him and keep him away from her.”
“After that, he didn’t visit again.” Kafni said softly, “But I saw him in my dreams. He taught the common knowledge about the Transcended world in my dreams. He is my ntor.”
“What?” Albert was startled, “Why didn’t you tell that?”
Kafni glanced at Albert and said with certainty, “If there is no evidence, you won’t believe it, Dad.”
Hearing this, Albert scratched his nose in embarrassnt.
He pleaded in a weak tone, “I found out that he was wearing gold ornants at the ti. Just to be on the safe side, I sent soone to ask about it at the Swamp’s Black Tower. That wizard wasn’t well-known.
“The response coming from the Black Tower is quite certain that none of the current Gold Rank wizards uses this na.
“This shows that he is not a Gold Rank wizard. For a Transcended at the Silver Rank, they are not capable of stirring up any trouble in the capital.”
Albert shrugged and said indifferently, “Several Gold Rank Transcended are lurking in the royal court. After all, it’s the royal capital, not any other city.”
That’s true. Annan nodded in agreent.
As far as the performance of the Silver Rank Transcended that Annan had seen goes, the gap with the Gold Rank was indeed large.
With Gold Ranks guarding the place, the Silver Rank Transcended could hardly do anything particular.
“So, what’s the na of that wandering wizard?” Salvatore asked curiously, “Your Royal Highness, do you still rember?”
“Hmm, I rember. Since Kafni said he is like a demon, I kept his na in mind.” Albert quickly replied, “If I’m not mistaken, his na should be Nicholas Flal.”
“Nicholas Flal?” At this mont, the shadow that had been silent for a while suddenly muttered, “Wait, I’ve heard of this na before.”
Salvatore felt astonished when he noticed the shadow knew the na.
Although he had no impression of this na, Salvatore had confidence in his shadow’s character and mory.
The na which caught the shadow’s attention wouldn’t be an average Joe.
“This is not good, Salvatore. You quickly ask this stupid man, does he have long white curly hair and dark green eyes?” The shadow quickly said in Salvatore’s heart after a brief pause.
Realizing that this was urgent, Salvatore didn’t doubt the shadow.
He asked imdiately, “Your Royal Highness, the person you are talking about… Does he have white curly hair and green eyes?”
Hearing this, Albert was taken aback. Kafni also looked at Salvatore carefully, with so confusion in her eyes.
Seeing their sudden reaction, the Bread Daryl (Bishop), who remained silent and listened intently in the distance, was also looking over with surprise.
His Royal Highness Albert lowered his voice and asked probingly, “Do you know him?”
Salvatore had already been told the answer to his question.
His face quickly beca a little ugly.
Salvatore followed the shadow’s reply word by word, “I’ve heard this na before. He is indeed not any Gold Rank wizard ‘currently’ exists.
“What I ant is that he should have been dead already.” Salvatore’s words shocked everyone.
Under the silent gaze of several others and even the players, Salvatore stamred and followed the shadowy voice, filtering out the swear words, and then uttered, “Nicholas Flal used to be the Alteration School tutor of the ‘Jade Tower’ belonging to the Denizoya Kingdom. He served as the tower master for a short period.
“More than a hundred years ago, he ignited his soul and advanced into Gold Rank. At that ti, he didn’t succeed as the tower master. It was only after more than a year later that he suddenly beca the tower son and succeeded to the position of the tower master hastily.
“After that, he served as the Jade Tower Master for more than 30 years. Soon after, the new tower son was born. Then, Nicholas’s identity as the tower master is stripped away.
“So tower masters regard this identity as a burden, but so tower masters regard it as the foundation for the continuation of life. The soul of gold is eternal and radiant, just like gold. Therefore, they will not be hard by ordinary curses. But if they use the power of the elents, they will gradually burn and reduce their soul to nothing, which in return their death.
“Nicholas used his elental power excessively. So, shortly after he lost his identity as the tower master, he died and was buried almost a hundred years ago.”
Salvatore’s face also beca ugly, as if he was shocked by his own words.
He murmured, “At that ti, many people attended his funeral. Since he was the person who discovered and improved the ancient Sage’s Stone technology, he was called the ‘Second Hers’ and the ‘Modern Sage’. He is also one of the very few ‘Sages’ in this era who can truly craft the Sage’s Stone.
“However, after his death, the Jade Tower had searched his laboratory for his Sage’s Stone but they couldn’t find it. It was suspected that a traitor had taken the Sage’s Stone and escaped at that ti. After searching for several years, he was gradually forgotten.
“If you really saw a man with white hair and green eyes calling himself Nicholas Flal, I think he might not have died at that ti.
“He used the Sage’s Stone he crafted to escape the fate of death!”
