Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 290 Legacy
Ethan felt that Professor Winter might have some issues with her understanding of the history of moving.

She stared at Ethan with surprise for a long time, and after mentally preparing herself, she resolutely took his right hand, quickly smelled it, and then relaxed her brows with relief.

"No, what I mean by 'moving history' is not what you understand it to be."

It seems that the people in this world are too simple-minded. Even Winter doesn't seem to have been exposed to the internet. He had to spend another ten minutes explaining his strategy at the West Valantin border to Winter in detail, so as not to leave Winter with any strange impressions.

"What you've said..."

Winter listened carefully to Ethan's account, her expression growing increasingly grave. "Isn't this just what Sincarlo and his followers did before?"

Upon hearing this, Ethan suddenly understood.

No wonder Sincaro is universally hated; Buffett even made the final exam paper "Why Sincaro is a jerk of a defense" to remind people of how awful Sincaro was.

"This is a very serious problem!"

Winter hardened her face. If Ethan had to learn from some evil god, it would be best if it were Old Ann or Old Ba. Whether as a lover or a teacher, she absolutely did not want Ethan's future interpersonal relationships to become like Sincarlo's, where even a dog passing by would want to kick him.

After not seeing him for several months, Ethan has become increasingly arrogant. This bad student must be disciplined!

……

That day, some rumors circulated in the college.

Tourists witnessed Ethan at the teleportation array. He seemed to have had an unpleasant conversation with Winter. The tourists saw Winter grab his arm aggressively and take him back to his residence in the academy. Some nosy students heard strange noises coming from the residence.

Some even studied it all night, unaware that dawn had broken.

According to reliable information brought back by this busybody student who has been single for nearly twenty years, Ethan was probably beaten by Winter.

Although he couldn't see what was happening in the room, the noise sounded like a fight, no doubt about it.

The next day, Ethan went out with dark circles under his eyes, which further increased the credibility of the rumor.

See? You got hit in the eye.

Neither the students nor the professors were surprised by this; if it were Winter, she was indeed capable of anything.

Ethan didn't know why the students and professors along the way were staring at him with pity. He had originally wanted to sleep in, but there were still some unresolved matters with the Golden King and the guild, so now was not the time to rest.

For example, Guild Investigator Su is still in the academy, as are the remnants of the Golden King's faction. They didn't disappear just because the Golden King died in 407. These are all ways for him to contact the guild.

In a sense, Ethan valued the Magic Network more than many professors and students in the academy. For them, it was a way to take a step further and break the centuries-old drought of saints. However, after learning about the existence of the guild, he realized that it was the source of all danger and truth.

There are several other guild members who are at the same level as the Golden King, and all indications suggest that the Golden King's combat ability is by no means the strongest among them.

After learning of the death of the Golden King, the next guild elder to arrive here via dimensional teleportation will likely not be someone lacking practical experience who only relies on power and authority for free-for-all. Moreover, they will probably not hide behind the scenes and plot against the Golden King, trying to summon the goddess only to end up shooting themselves in the foot.

In addition, there is the King of Gold... or rather, Song Xian's fleeting memories.

He was accompanied by many other people, all from the same place.

It looked like a human experiment involving a powerful force.

What about him?

Was it really as I suspected, that he died suddenly at home on his way home due to excessive overtime work?

When they found Su, the guild investigator who had replaced the student was walking to class with an alchemy spellbook in her hand. She was also one of the few individuals whose memories had not been rewritten by the power of time.

but……

As a lowly member of the guild with little influence, she has been devoting herself entirely to her studies at the academy these days. Occasionally, she feels that if she accepts her current identity, studying at the academy as a student until graduation doesn't seem so bad.

With her privileged family background and exceptional talent in elemental magic, the professor of the electric element course had high hopes for her and even offered to recommend her for a job at the Ministry of Magic after graduation.

As for the conflict between the King of Gold and that 404 monster, it's neither something she needs to worry about nor something she can intervene in.

Not long ago, Su noticed a jump in the timeline.

The ubiquitous golden radiation dissipated, and the sky returned to its normal color.

This also meant that the outcome of the conflict was already predetermined, so she habitually opened the investigator's query page. Although she had a premonition, her heart still skipped a beat when that line of text appeared.

"The administrator, the King of Gold, is dead."

But then her attention was drawn to another unusual piece of information.

—“Investigators nearby can be contacted: 1.”

"Investigator Information: Yoda".

A name I've never heard of before, at least not an investigator from Transfer Station 003.

When she tried to contact the investigator, she received a message saying "You do not have sufficient permissions".

This had never happened before, but Sue had gradually gotten used to it. Since she was sent to this strange dimension, too many anomalies had occurred that were not recorded in the investigator's handbook. Now, even a guild administrator had perished here.

This fully demonstrates that the failure of the mission cannot be blamed on Zak and Zul'ga, nor should her performance be deducted. On the contrary, if she can return to Transfer Station 003, she should be compensated 1000 guild points as compensation for mental distress.

Not long after these strange phenomena appeared, the expected figure once again appeared in front of Su.

"Su, you look great today."

Upon seeing this, the classmates next to her widened their eyes in surprise and almost exclaimed in unison, "Su, you actually know Mr. Ethan!"

The fake sisterhood shattered instantly. Su could clearly see the jealousy in her sisters' eyes; they were probably cursing her in their hearts a thousand times over.

Ethan and Winter are undoubtedly the two most talked-about people in the academy. The title of "Saint" alone far surpasses any other elemental energizer. The last elemental energizer to reach the Saint rank in the academy's records dates back several hundred years.

In addition, Ethan's young age, handsome appearance, and the relaxed demeanor he displayed while chatting and laughing with the dean at the student assembly made it clear that even the dean held this young man, who looked only a few years older than them, in high regard. All of this inevitably made Ethan the dream lover of the young girls in the academy.

Sue knew that many girls had dreamed of having a romantic encounter with Ethan.

However, for the girls, Ethan is great in every way, except for one flaw: it seems he already has a girlfriend.

My girlfriend is also a saint, and is known as the "Dark Demon King," which sounds like she's not someone to mess with.

This became the main reason why the girls didn't dare to approach Ethan even if they bumped into him at the academy. According to a professor who wished to remain anonymous, Ms. Rowena, the diplomatic representative of the Astronomical Guild, recounted some anecdotes about Winter, saying that she once owned a ferret, which she kept in a cage for several months before she learned that the ferret was someone who had offended Winter.

After this anecdote spread, Ms. Rowena disappeared for several days. Some bold and observant people noticed that there was a cage next to Winter, containing a ferret that liked to bare its teeth at her.

"That day I encountered Su feeling unwell, so I took her to the school clinic."

Noticing the unusual eye contact between the girls, Ethan stepped in to help Sue out of the awkward situation.

But his words did not have the desired effect; instead, they only made the flames in the girls' eyes burn even brighter.

What a scheming woman!

The girls in the same dormitory suddenly realized that Su's strange behavior at the party three months ago was a perfect example. They thought Su was really not feeling well, but they never expected that this scheming girl was much more sophisticated than them and had actually gotten close to Ethan in this way!
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ethan. I'm much better now."

"Do you have time?"

"some."

Sue quickly whispered something to her "good sisters" who were going to class with her, but Ethan couldn't help but suspect that these ladies might be descendants of cannibalistic sorcerers, plotting to roast her and eat her that night.

Su finally managed to get rid of her roommates and took Ethan to a secluded side road.

She didn't want more people to see her and Ethan walking side by side in the academy, otherwise it wouldn't be long before rumors spread throughout the entire academy.

"Do I look normal now?"

Ethan joked.

The last time they met, he was still seen as a 404 in Su's eyes.

"Ah."

Su Wei nodded almost imperceptibly. Thinking of her embarrassing moment when they last met, she wanted to find a place to bury herself. "I enrolled in Professor Bazatos's Introduction to Art course. He taught me some alchemical potion recipes."

Although the ingredients needed for the potion gave her goosebumps just thinking about them, the effect was remarkable. After drinking the potion, her mental state remained stable, and the feeling of having swallowed a thousand needles in her head never returned.

Su Momo wrote down the potion recipe in her notebook; this stuff was much more useful than the blockers the guild provided them.

It was this incident that completely changed her opinion of Professor Bazartos.

Although the professor looked intimidating, she was actually a kind and gentle person who never hesitated to answer any of her students' questions.

Yes, Sue's work as an investigator continues, and in the past three months, she has accomplished a feat that no other investigator has been able to achieve—studying an Old God.

These are concepts existing in this plane, which were once regarded as ineffable symbols.

If she can bring these research materials back to Transfer Station 003, her promotion to Class A Investigator will no longer be an unattainable dream.

She even started to like this world.

When she first arrived, danger seemed to be everywhere. The academy was full of terrifying beings that could crush her like an ant. But they were surprisingly friendly. In addition to Professor Barzatos, she also investigated creations such as the "Giant Warriors," which would be considered "disasters" in any other plane.

Professor Barzatos is a protective person, so he is safe in the academy.

"Do you know about the King of Gold?"

Ethan asked.

“Hmm…” Su nodded stiffly, “He’s dead.”

Moreover, the suspect, Ethan, was standing right in front of him at that moment.

"He left... a little too quickly. I didn't even have a chance to ask him how to get to transit station 003. Do you have any clue about it?"

"...My communicator detected a living investigator nearby named Yoda, but because I don't have enough permissions, I can't view his specific information."

Sue didn't hesitate for long before immediately choosing to confess and told Ethan everything she knew: "He must be an investigator who received special treatment from some administrator."

This is a more emotionally intelligent way of putting it, but she felt that Ethan should be able to tell that it was an accusation against the "remnants of the King of Gold".

"Yoda? Has he come to the academy?"

As they were talking, a round, yellow potato suddenly popped out of the ground.

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in the empty woodland, half of its body embedded in the soil.

"Ethan, I was just wandering around the academy when I saw this guy fall to the ground too!"

The little yellow potato eagerly reported to him, its neck held high, looking like it was asking for credit.

"...How did he fall to the ground?"

Ethan's eyelids twitched a few times, and he quickly helped pull Yoda out of the mud. Yoda looked covered in dirt, and for some reason, his nose seemed crooked compared to the last time he saw him.

"I tripped and fell."

The little yellow potato defended itself, saying, "Besides, his nose was always like this, it wasn't me who did it!"

"I stayed behind on their behalf to meet with you."

Yoda didn't care about his injuries.

The injury on his nose was indeed unrelated to earth element; it was an old injury he sustained when he and Kara failed to imitate Ethan and crashed into a pillar.

Although he did not witness the battle between Ethan and the King of Gold firsthand, the outcome of the battle was obvious.

Moreover, they seem to have made some kind of bet.

It was an irreversible soul contract written directly by the goddess—the victor would receive everything from the loser.

Therefore, the Council of Six, and all the planes ruled by the Golden King, were transferred to Ethan's name by contract.

"After the consciousness link was severed, unrest of varying degrees occurred in different places, which was dealt with by others who had returned."

Yoda asked, "What do you intend to do with his estate?"
