Big Devil: Starting from refining flying zombies

Chapter 687 Olive Branch

"My dear Neltharion, nice to meet you. I am Franklin. I just returned from a visit to the Kraros Continent last month. I never expected that a talented wizard like you would appear on the Blood Spirit Continent. This really makes me very happy."

Franklin behaved like an old gentleman. He first nodded to Sylphy and a group of mentors, then smiled gently and looked at Neltharion.

When he spoke, he did not have any sense of mental oppression that a Shining Moon Wizard should have. Instead, he was very approachable, like an elder with a kind temperament, and had the calmness of an old educator.

"Dean Franklin, I am also looking forward to the opportunity to communicate with you. I have had the honor of reading your papers published in major public journals in the wizarding world. I have benefited a lot from your profound wisdom."

Naturally, Neltharion had a good impression of Franklin. He patted Sylphy's hand, then stood up from the hospital bed and saluted Franklin with his hand on his chest.

"Oh? You've read my paper. Hahaha. To be honest, I can only publish some ordinary academic opinions in local journals in the Blood Spirit Continent."

"In addition, I have invested a lot of extra energy in running the academy over the years. In fact, I haven't published anything new for many years. I am really getting old. Time is not forgiving."

Franklin stroked his beard and spoke modestly, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the old man was quite benefited by Neltharion's words, and his old face was smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.

After all, in the wizarding world, what makes high-level wizards feel the most proud and impressive is not power or position, and even their strength is ranked behind. The most commendable thing is their academic attainments, that is, wisdom.

Now even the talented freshmen in the college are the first to read his published papers carefully with the mentality of gaining wisdom and standing on the shoulders of giants. This way of flattery can be said to have hit Franklin's sore spot.

However, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Franklin finally turned the topic to the most important purpose of his trip, which was to understand what really happened in the Howling Abyss.

His old eyes gradually became clearer, as if emitting a hazy light, and he said in a low voice:

"Friend Neltharion, three months ago, all the members of the trial team that accompanied you were killed. You encountered an enemy that you could not defeat. Only you and Teacher Bettina survived. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Neltharion looked a little depressed after hearing this. After pondering for a moment, he sighed and said:

"Dean Franklin, I feel very sad and sorry about this. Eke, Onandi, Herman, Ian, Samira... they are all very good people."

"If I could have unleashed that kind of power earlier, maybe I could have saved them all."

What?! From what Neltharion said, he had actually erupted with some unknown and terrifying power, repelling or even destroying an enemy comparable to the level of the Shining Moon Wizard!
At this moment, there was deathly silence in the infirmary. Except for Sylphy's expression which showed that she knew what Neltharion might be saying, Franklin and several other mentors were all shocked and did not recover for a long time.

"You guys, please go out first. Remember that this matter is confidential and you must not disclose it to anyone else. Otherwise, I will punish the leaker according to the hospital rules."

Franklin's eyes narrowed, revealing a sharp gleam. As he spoke to the mentors, he finally revealed a strong hand that could not be questioned or refuted.

"Yes, Dean!" The mentors who were attending physicians were startled when they heard the words.

They looked at Neltharion, and even though their curiosity was so strong that they wanted to stay here and listen.

But their bodies honestly turned around and left, carefully closing the door.

Neltharion also knew that this time he had to reveal the Phantom Blood Demon.

However, this is his innate witchcraft, which he was born with, and no one can take it away. There is nothing to be taboo about it, and it is only a matter of time before he reveals it to others.

"It was actually my innate witchcraft that saved me and Teacher Bettina." Neltharion's mind moved, and the phantom blood demon appeared. Although it was just an illusion without any power fluctuations, it made Franklin gasp. After taking a closer look, he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

At this moment Franklin no longer had any doubts.

He had personally visited the Howling Abyss for investigation, and the many traces of battle there made him secretly sweat, and he had many speculations.

But no one could have imagined that all this was caused by a freshman whose real strength was only that of a second-level wizard.

Although it seems that Neltharion has been in a deep sleep for three months and has shown signs of mental breakdown.

The power he unleashed was neither stable nor regular, but full of unrepeatable contingencies.

But no matter what, his combat power is at the level of a Shining Moon Wizard.

Forcibly crossing three major realms to fight, what kind of innate witchcraft can do such a heaven-defying thing!

Even in the continent of Kralos where evil spirits are rampant, Franklin had never heard of such a thing happening.

"I want to know where the bloodline of young friend Neltharion's father comes from..." Franklin pondered for a while and asked Sylphy cautiously.

Sylphy was still a little nervous facing a Brilliant Moon Wizard.

But she tried her best not to think about the snake-shaped ring, and then carefully explained the process of the strange phenomenon in the sky and her pregnancy.

"Strange phenomena appeared in the sky, was it caused by induction..." Franklin could see at a glance that although Sylphy told the truth, she seemed to have hidden some details.

However, he ultimately chose not to ask any further questions, nor to dig deeper, but to pretend he knew nothing.

God knows how shocked he was after learning about Neltharion's bizarre life experience and his extremely terrifying gift of witchcraft.

Even an idiot could see that Neltharion was definitely not as simple as he appeared, and most likely had an extremely complicated background.

To accomplish all this, the wizards on the Blood Spirit Continent definitely do not have this level of ability. This is definitely a feat that can only be accomplished by some extraordinary wizard from the upper realm.

As a high-level wizard who travels to the continent of Kraros for academic visits every few hundred years, Franklin's humility is largely the result of the influence of external environment.

The Wizard Huiyue is indeed a top-tier warrior in the first echelon in the Blood Spirit Continent, but in the Kralos Continent, he is actually nothing. A true top wizard can kill him with just a breath.

However, the Blood Spirit Continent belongs to the Bone Forest after all, and Franklin is also a wizard from the Bone Forest lineage. After pondering for a moment, he decided to let nature take its course and extended an olive branch to Neltharion.

"My dear friend Neltharion, the Titanium Wizard Academy is too small. Your talent is unprecedented in the Blood Spirit Continent. You are fully capable of developing on a broader platform."

"I wonder if you are interested in going to the Kraros continent and officially becoming a member of the upper world wizard power - the Ghost Bone Forest?"
