Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

Dago thought of the "Ancient Star Book" lying quietly inside the space ring and shook his head.

"No, he is a true elder."

"It seems Manuel was right; the Star School's previous show of strength was mostly an act."

"The First Tower Master knows a lot about Wizard Rona?"

"When we first arrived in the South, Manuel spent some time with the Astrological School."

Undine pondered for a moment and said, "Rona is a very low-key and cautious person, which also affects the way the Star School operates."

"To be honest, the fact that he was willing to come forward publicly regarding this old resurrection event has already surprised many people."

The two quickly ended their discussion about the Astral School. Undine didn't ask about the content of Dargo and Rona's conversation, but instead asked him, "What are your plans next?"

Dargo sensed a hidden meaning in Undine's words, glanced at her, and asked, "Does the Ring have any special arrangements for me?"

"It wasn't entirely arranged."

Undine said slowly, "You have now reached the end of the formal stage, even surpassing many of us."

"It's hard to find someone in the entire South who can continue to teach you. Wizard Rona is one, but unfortunately, his path is not suitable for you, as you should have realized."

"so?"

Dargo looked into Undine's eyes and asked calmly.

"so."

Undine paused for a moment, then said, "Manuel and the others mean for you to go to the central region and join headquarters."

"Manuel has contacted our school's mentor, a learned and powerful fifth-circle wizard, who will guide you in the right direction."

"The Omnipotent Ring?"

Dargo wasn't surprised; what Undine said was exactly what he expected.

The Omnipotent Magic Ring, located in the central part of the Emerald Court Empire to which Michael belongs, is a near-super-large wizarding force.

The support and assistance that Dago could receive from all sides clearly far outweighed any possibility of him remaining in the south.

Dargo didn't object to the arrangement, but he noticed that Undine hesitated several times, as if she wanted to say something else to him.

"You don't seem to want me to do that?"

Dago asked, puzzled.

Undine hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Although Manuel said that the mentor greatly admires your personal talent, Isidore's legacy is definitely one of the things he is determined to obtain."

"You may lose your heritage for a period of time. Of course, based on my understanding of Mentor Goodman, he will definitely make sufficient compensation to you after taking away the heritage research. It's just that you may not be willing to accept such an exchange, right, Dago?"

Is it because of this tradition again?

As Dargo listened to Undine's explanation, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

He won this year's Wizards Tournament, seizing the true legacy belonging to Isidore from countless genius wizards, but so far it doesn't seem like a good thing.

Too many people covet the inheritance, and not everyone will be like Rona, who immediately becomes a target of envy and suspicion once he deviates from the rules set by Isidore.

"Those who know about my inheritance are probably no longer limited to the south."

Dago thought for a moment and then asked Undine.

Undine nodded and said, "All the information about you will gradually spread in the Central Region sooner or later. There are many people who care about this inheritance, and there have always been people who have been able to collect the complete set of inheritance in order to reproduce the supreme glory of Isidore."

"Then for me, this is the best option."

Dago replied calmly, "If I hand over the inheritance, the Omnipotent Ring should protect me, right?"

"And you said that your mentor is not a completely unreasonable person."

"Don't worry about that. My mentor Goodman is definitely the person in the world who advocates the principle of equivalent exchange the most. Moreover, he is most likely just borrowing it and will return the legacy to you sooner or later."

Undine said with a hint of helplessness, "You're right, Dargo, this is probably the best choice for you."

"I'm just a little ashamed that Manuel exchanged a portion of the value that should have belonged to you for the teacher, which enabled the eight of us to return to the Omnipotent Ring."

You're overthinking it.

Dago couldn't help but smile and shake his head, saying, "The Law Ring, especially you, has always been a great help to me, and I should have found an opportunity to repay you."

Undine sighed, "Originally, Barker was our bargaining chip. Our idea was to use a hundred geniuses like Barker to bring this day to an end, but we never expected this."

"If Barker heard you say that, his heart would break."

Undine laid out the pros and cons to Dagger, which completely calmed Dagger down.

Isidore's Armlet of Protection was undoubtedly the most powerful magical artifact he had ever encountered, but if he couldn't keep it, there was nothing to regret.

After all, he has already obtained the core rune Dago, but assembling the complete set of artifact inheritance is still a long way off for Dago at this stage.

He will eventually be able to achieve the [Miracle Black Hole] entirely on his own. The value of the armlet in his hands will only gradually decrease as his strength increases. It would be better to throw it away when its value is at its peak and exchange it for the resources he needs for his next cultivation.

In fact, before meeting with Ronaldo, Dago was already prepared to hand over the armband, so the current outcome is not so unacceptable.

When do you plan to arrange for me to go to the central region?

Dago asked Undine, who replied, "The mentor has already sent someone over, but it should take a while longer."

Dago nodded.

Perfect timing! He can use this time to assess his current strength and, incidentally, settle some outstanding matters left behind in the south.

Undine seemed to have been entrusted by Manuel and the other seven to come and explain everything to Dargo. Now that the matter was over, she felt relieved.

"Dago, I still remember the first time I met you very clearly."

Undine looked at Dargo with a rather complicated expression and sighed, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you've grown to this level."

Undine reached out, seemingly wanting to stroke Dargo's cheek, then sighed softly and turned to leave.

In the vast hall, only Dago remained.

Dargo slowly walked to the center of the hall, where a beam of white light descended.

He casually sat down and took out the "Book of Ancient Stars" that he had previously obtained from Ronan.

He may lose Isidore's Armlet of Protection, but before that, he has already gained more than enough from it.

Dargo placed the old, heavy black book on his lap, stroking its rough, cold cover with both hands before slowly opening it.

A deep and mysterious starry sky immediately appeared before his eyes.
