Chapter 399: Truth (2)
Translator: Leo Editor: Frappe
The armor piece was a perfect fit for his left shoulder, and he could sense the surge of information being transmitted into his brain.
It was the information related to the magic circle inheritance.
"Can you feel that? That’s the advantage of having a magic circle inheritance set. Dark Wizard Tower is one of the most powerful organizations, but even we can only build several of those sets. Can you imagine how many resources were allocated into this?" the old man whose na was disa chuckled as he explained.
"And this," he threw Angele a white ball, "this is the seed of the magic circle inheritance. Plant it in the location you have selected, and the only thing you need to do is to wait. Make sure you’re the only one there when you plant the seed or there will be trouble."
"Got it." Angele carefully grasped the white ball. "Can you give a durable and stable pouch? Mine was destroyed during the competition."
"No problem." disa fetched a small black pouch from the drawer. "This is sothing I used when I was young. Made out of dragon skin, I’m sure it won’t break in a normal battle. I watched how you fought in that battle. I like your style. You know, the director has three students, but I like you the most. I’ll give it to you for free just because of that." disa gave Angele a thumbs-up.
"Is it a tradition for a director to take the winner as their student?" Angele queried.
"It’s a rule that a director of a departnt can take the winner in as their student, but it doesn’t have to be the wizard departnt. Dark Wizard Tower does not host competitions often, you see. The director of the departnt of change invited you to hers, didn’t she? She probably likes you, too," the old man explained, "I know what you’re thinking. You’re wondering about the benefits of becoming a student of the director, right? I can tell you one thing—you will be able to protect everything important to you in the chaotic tis about to co..."
The old man showed a aningful smile.
"Huh? So you will give power? Or authority?" Green (Angele) remained calm for he knew he was getting closer to the secrets of Dark Wizard Tower.
"Authority and power co hand in hand. However, you can’t protect anything with just diocre authority and power. You need to maximize them. Sothing terrifying will soon co, but for a wizard like you to beco stronger, you need at least hundreds of years," the old man shrugged, "We don’t have much ti left."
"Huh? Who exactly are you asking to protect?" Angele’s expression changed, and he took off the armor piece and kept the white ball in his pouch and attached it to his belt.
"Let explain that to you, Green (Angele)." A voice sounding like it was from a middle-aged man ca from near the door.
"Juventus, you again!" disa’s face hardened, and he seed to have lost interest in the topic. He returned to the table and took a seat. "Fine, I’ll let you explain. Every ti you’re here, you just..." He did not finish his sentence, but the old man seed to be annoyed and frustrated at the person nad Juventus.
Angele turned around to see a bearded man in white outfit standing by the door. He looked just like an average human male. There was a stack of yellow-leather paper in his papers, which were covered with ssy handwriting.
"disa, I wrote a few new poems today. Can you read and help improve them? I assure you it’s different this ti! I’ve improved a lot! A lot!" The man smilingly barged into the study and approached disa’s table.
"All right, all right, put them down first. Tell Green (Angele) about the truth of Dark Wizard Tower. I’ll read your poems later." Juventus was giving disa a headache. "Green (Angele) is the only one who’s normal between you three... He knows what he should do, and he works hard..." disa said as he picked up the stack of papers, but it looked like he wasn’t at all impressed.
"Just explain the truth to Angele...." The old man waved his hand.
The bearded man turned to look at Angele but beca irritated right after. It was because he was slightly shorter than Angele.
"Damn! You’re taller than ? I hate people who are taller than !" he muttered.
"All right. Angele, let tell you the truth of the Dark Wizard Tower. You’re now a core mber of the organization."
"Huh?" Angele looked at Juventus—he had always wanted to know more about Dark Wizard Tower.
The bearded patted his own chest, "Let introduce myself first. My na is Juventus. You can just call Juven if you want."
"Okay." Angele nodded.
Juventus cleared his throat and finally started explaining, "Dark Wizard Tower isn’t only a powerful organization in the central continent but also in other areas of the world. But, we have no relations with any of the three Wizard-lords." His expression beca serious.
"Do you know the true identity of the two persons accompanying Director Sando at the ceremony?"
Before Angele could say anything, the man had already begun answering his own question.
"The woman with the emotionless face is Director Sando’s student and also the winner of the previous competition. Count Hosla..." he stopped for a second, "is a noble of the Fairy Realm."
"Fairy Realm?" Angele narrowed his eyes. "Does Dark Wizard Tower have relations with the Fairy Realm? I thought everyone was trying to seal the portals. How did he co to our world?"
"Yeah, the relations between our world and the Fairy Realm is complicated, but the Count Hosla you saw was just a projection. Do you know why the majority of the portals were first discovered in the central continent instead of the other areas of the world?" Juventus grinned. "We spent more than 100 years to study and modify the magnetic field. Now, we finally have access."
"I was told that the Fairy Realm is extrely dangerous. As a mber of Dark Wizard Tower, I don’t think that’s a good idea." Angele felt fearful once he recalled that day when he encountered the woman in black and the flying dragon.
"Not a good idea? Ha, that’s the biggest problem." Juventus chuckled. "Dark Wizard Tower is equivalent to the First Empire in the Fairy Realm."
Angele was surprised, "That’s impossible. It has been years since the last wizard discovered the ans to travel to other realms. Don’t tell the fairies never left our world after the invasion."
"You’re right. No one can travel to other realms. The truth is, the most prominent mbers of Dark Wizard Tower are those who entered the Fairy Realm during the ancient tis. Almost the entire First Empire of the Fairy Realm is being controlled by our wizards. In other words, most ’fairies’ you said are human beings." Juventus’s words were hard to absorb.
Angele realized he was in the sa boat as the organization after he learned the secret. If he decided to leave the heart of the three, he would be eliminated imdiately.
"The most prominent mbers are trying so hard because they want to return to the Wizard World," Juventus smiled, "The balance ford by the three Wizard-lords shall soon be broken by the Empire. That mont shall be the mont when glory and honor return to us." He retrieved a fla-shaped platinum badge. "Take it. It will prove you’re a student of the wizard departnt."
Angele received the badge and looked at it.
There were words engraved on its surface—
"The Suran Empire. The abyss that shall never be defeated. No one shall thwart the Empire from advancing."
It was written in the ancient language.
"Order shall be rebuilt when the Empire returns to this land," disa spoke in a low voice, with pride written all over his face.
"The three Lords will not let this happen so easily." Angele shook his head.
"The three Lords do indeed know of our existence. They are trying to hinder our most prominent mbers from entering this world, hence they ford the Central Council since no one wants to share their authority with a... stranger ," disa chuckled, "Our return will aid the wizards in regaining the power of the ancient wizards; no one can stop us!"
"Is that what you were referring to when you ntioned having the power to protect? It solely depends on who we are?" Angele finally understood the situation.
"You’re right. We are of the core mbers, so we’re allowed to save our friends. As long as your relatives or friends in the Wizard World don’t try to fight, the Imperial Army will not attack them," Juventus explained.
"That ans if you’re a core mber, you and a strong being from the Fairy Realm will be given the authority to lead an army. You will be the one to decide who to attack, that is how you save the ones close to you in the chaos that is about to co," disa added, "But the problem is, since the Fairy Realm can approach our world during the coming of chaos, the other realms can, too."
Juventus nodded, "I have already visited the World Tree. Aside from the Fairy Realm, only an empty Sand Realm is approaching. It is one of the weakest realms, so there’s nothing to worry about. Still, the other dangerous realms may also do the sa. Chaos Realm, Oblivion Realm, and the most invasive realm... Nightmare Realm—those realms are relatively close to the Wizard World, but, if the Nightmare Realm arrives..."
They stopped after ntioned the na of that realm. Their faces turned grave.
"It can’t be those horrifying monsters..." disa muttered.
"If what the historical records say is true, there should be a countless number of realms around our world. The Nightmare Realm is but one of them. We can’t possibly be so unlucky." Juventus waved his hand in dismissal.
"You will also beco a commander of an army. When will you learn taking things seriously?" disa’s face loosened up, and he sat down.
