Chapter 406: Chapter 26 The Great Wizard’s Commission
Inner World.
Garon the Great Wizard looked at the Crystal Creation in front of him, curiously manipulating it a couple of tis.
In the distance, a towering and terrifying Demon God, holding a White Bone Wand, turned the roots of the World Tree into ashes.
Although the Inner World had beco a scorched earth due to the ancient war, there were also nurous remnants of battles on this land.
Thus, during monts of respite, Garon the Great Wizard would explore these remnants.
After all, the decisive point of his fight with the World Tree was not here, but in the outer world.
“How is this thing used again?”
Garon the Great Wizard scratched his head, a bit frustrated, as he constantly adjusted his magic power.
For a wizard of his level, this Pioneer artifact wasn’t much more complicated than wizard’s magic equipnt.
He only needed to slightly adjust his magic power, and then they could easily use Pioneer artifacts.
A long ti ago, Garon the Great Wizard had acquired the thod to use Pioneer artifacts from other Great Wizards. However, it had been so long since he used it that even he was a bit foggy on the details.
Thus, he could only make adjustnts based on his experience.
Suddenly, Garon the Great Wizard let out a cheer.
“Hey, it worked.”
In front of him, a pitch-black crystal ball suddenly lit up with intricate patterns.
He had tried tens of thousands of tis, and at last, he had succeeded.
“It looks like a communication device,” Garon the Great Wizard said uncertainly as he looked at the crystal ball.
He sensed a strand of energy fluctuating through the void and disappearing.
But before he could do anything else, the crystal ball projected a three-dinsional figure in a black robe.
“Hmm? Richard!”
Seeing the projection in the crystal ball, Garon the Great Wizard was sowhat surprised.
He had a very deep impression of Richard.
Apart from when the war started and he had pulled out a subbody of the World Tree, the mark of that great existence on him was also very morable.
It was rare for a wizard at the Three Rings level to be marked by a great existence.
“It’s been a while, Headmaster,” the projection of Richard greeted Garon the Great Wizard with a Wizard’s Salute, “I’m really happy to see you’re alright.”
Garon the Great Wizard gestured for him not to worry about formalities, then smiled and said, “What could possibly happen to ? It’s just a little sapling. But you, you’re lucky to have gotten your hands on the Lost One’s heritage.”
Richard smiled in response, “Haha, thanks to you, this expedition was quite fruitful.”
“Good to hear you had a fruitful expedition,” Garon the Great Wizard nodded slightly, then his tone changed, “I’ll need to borrow this device temporarily. When you return to the Floating City, hand it over to Jimmy. I need to contact him to keep abreast of the developnts in the outer world.”
“Ah, this…”
Seeing Richard’s troubled expression, Garon the Great Wizard was slightly puzzled, “I’m not asking for your possession. After the war, I’ll return it to you. What’s the matter, you can’t bear to use it? Or does it have a usage limitation?”
“It’s neither. It’s just that I can’t take it with ,” Richard replied sowhat helplessly, “Moreover, I don’t even know where I am myself, much less how to return if I could take it. I ended up here by accidentally triggering a Transmission Array.”
Hearing Richard’s words, Garon the Great Wizard frowned.
“That’s not good news. The subbody of the World Tree in the outer world is preparing to strike back. You haven’t received any ssage from Jimmy, have you?”
“Ah?”
Hearing Garon the Great Wizard’s news, Richard was taken aback.
“I sent a ssage to Jimmy two months ago,” Garon the Great Wizard said slowly, “Think about your capabilities. If you can, return. If not, hide in the Secret Realm… No, you can’t even hide in the Secret Realm. If the outer world experiences a setback in the war, I’ll have to forcefully break between the inner and outer worlds. If you hide in the Secret Realm, you might end up losing your spatial coordinates, making it impossible to return.”
“Ah? You can’t return directly?” Richard asked in surprise.
Garon the Great Wizard shook his head, “No, the World Tree has also gotten smarter these past two years. A while ago, it broke through my Space Anchor and sent a command for a counterattack to the subbody in the outer world. Then, before I could react, it reinforced the Space Anchor, making it impossible for either of us to return normally.”
As he spoke, Garon the Great Wizard massaged his temples, his headache apparent.
He had a good impression of Richard. Wizard Civilization needed talented wizards like him, and being marked by a great existence indicated Richard likely had so special qualities.
He still wanted to save such a talent.
Suddenly, Garon the Great Wizard saw Richard as if he was communicating with sothing else.
Then, he saw Richard speak with a look of joy, “Headmaster, do you have a huge black crystal disk nearby?”
“Crystal disk?”
Garon the Great Wizard reached out with his spiritual power, and the entirety of the remnants was laid bare before him.
Quickly, he found an object that matched Richard’s description in the basent of the remnants.
“Yes, what about it?”
“It turns out, that disk is a transmission device. I just tested it on this side, and your Space Anchor has no effect on it temporarily.”
“No effect!?”
Garon the Great Wizard’s eyes suddenly widened, the space anchor could trap both him and the World Tree, how could it be breached by such a trivial machine?
“Wait a minute, I’ll co over and check.”
Saying so, Garon the Great Wizard took the communication device and headed straight for the crystal disk. The crystalline wall in the middle, as if made of paper, was directly shattered by Garon the Great Wizard.
Soon, Garon the Great Wizard arrived at the basent where the disk was located. After confirming that the device really worked, his mind raced with thoughts.
Before long, Garon the Great Wizard spoke to Richard’s projection, “Richard, I have a task for you.”
“You said.”
“Although this disk can break through the limit of the space anchor, I estimate that it will only have a chance for one teleportation. After that, it will surely be blocked by the World Tree.
So, I plan to make it a bit more valuable.
In a mont, I will use this thing to send you a Beast Puppet, which has a certain combat capacity. Your task is to escort this Beast Puppet back to the Floating City.”
“Escort the Beast Puppet?”
Upon hearing the task, Richard’s facial expression was sowhat conflicted.
To be honest, this task was highly difficult and dangerous.
He was now hiding in the Ancient Battlefield, mostly able to avoid the World Tree’s counterattack, but if he were to return, he wasn’t sure if he could get through the Insect Tide.
“I know this task is sowhat arduous,” Garon the Great Wizard said solemnly, “but if you succeed, the outer world’s state of war should remain secure.
Then, I will make sure to record this rit in the record book.”
Seeing how serious Garon the Great Wizard was, Richard knew he likely had no chance to refuse.
The state of war in the outer world was directly related to the future of the Garon Wizard College for nearly half an epoch. If the battle were to be lost, it would be difficult for the Garon Wizard College to recover its current strength within half an epoch.
Richard could vaguely guess that the wizards of the Garon Wizard College were very useful to Garon the Great Wizard.
He was not willing to suffer massive losses.
“Alright, Dean, I can only say I will do my best,” Richard said, sowhat helplessly.
Garon the Great Wizard nodded with satisfaction: “Alright, just do your best.”
After speaking, Richard saw Garon the Great Wizard break his own little finger, then he signaled him to start the teleportation.
Richard raised his hand, and the fortress main control activated the teleportation device.
In an instant, a tiny space rift ford above the disk. Following that, the rift rapidly expanded, and a terrifying aura flowed through it, causing all creatures present, except Ulysses, to go weak at the knees.
“Is this the strong being you spoke of, sir?” the Snake King trembled as he spoke, “This power must have already reached the Level 6 creature.”
“Not just that,” Richard exhaled softly and shook his head slightly.
Soon, a pinky finger fell out of the rift. Soon after, the space rift abruptly closed.
Before it closed, Richard saw sothing resembling tendrils flash by.
After the pinky ca out, it suddenly began to regenerate. In just a mont, it transford into a polar bear.
The polar bear opened its mouth and spoke with Garon the Great Wizard’s voice: “This is the Beast Puppet you can consider it as a sowhat advanced Synthetic Beast.
It has a Physique of three hundred points, already surpassing the human limit, and also possesses many advanced combat skills, which should also be a combat force for you.”
As he finished speaking, the polar bear walked over to Richard’s side, like a loyal bodyguard.
“Three hundred points…”
Hearing this number, Richard’s mouth twitched slightly.
The Beast Puppet with such a physique, Garon the Great Wizard actually described it as having certain combat capabilities.
Richard felt that this creature alone could take on two like him without a problem.
Who’s escorting whom here.
“You, the new Dean, are a bit terrifying, Richard.”
Ulysses watched the disappearing space rift, touching his chest with so lingering fear.
Last ti Garon the Great Wizard made a move, both Richard and Ulysses had hidden in the Secret Realm and had not witnessed it.
So, this was the first ti Ulysses had experienced the power of Garon the Great Wizard.
“The feeling this one gives has already surpassed the Lord…the Sixth Level World Master.”
As the words reached his lips, Ulysses glanced at the Beast Puppet and quickly changed what he said.
Heaven knows whether this Beast Puppet retained mories, but being cautious was always correct.
“The first person under the truth is no joke,” Richard casually replied.
Watching the Beast Puppet, he rubbed his temples, starting to ponder his next move.
Now, how should he return?
…
In the dense forest, a wizard in a black robe moved like lightning through the trees.
Even though he was pale and sweating profusely, his spiritual power nearly depleted, he still dared not slow his pace even a bit.
Behind him, a tide-like wave of biological weapons swallowed tree after tree.
Such a massive Insect Tide naturally required nutrients, aside from devouring each other, the large trees in the forest naturally beca the preferred target of the Insect Tide.
And behind the Insect Tide, several towering trees moved their heavy feet, swinging their branches and vine whips like shepherds, driving the Insect Tide toward the predetermined direction.
These towering trees were originally the Guardian Forest of the World Tree Subbody, but under the commands of the World Tree’s main body, these Guardian Forests along with the Subbody uprooted themselves, moving towards the direction of the Floating City.
The World Tree’s counterattack was coming.
