Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 162 [162] Successive Transformations and Crisis Strikes

[Note: The in-depth analysis of the Fire Demon Sorcery style has been completed. Based on the "Wrath of Hephaestus" sorcery, the extension directions are as follows:]

Inside the laboratory, a smile played on the corners of Wang Ya's mouth as a mask covered his face. A wealth of knowledge flooded his mind, all of which was the most accurate and suitable direction for his future in the Flame Demon Sorcery school.

What was previously a bit confusing has now become clear.

Wang Ya only needs to master those advanced and extraordinary knowledge points to complete the creation and improvement of advanced witchcraft.

This process won't take too long.

Wang Ya went to the laboratory to check on the progress of the magical plant fusion experiment. When he saw the magical plant vines with their grooves and various bumpy black spots, he was stunned for a moment.

The timeline of the mutation has exceeded his expectations.

Much faster.

He originally predicted that it would take a year and a half to cultivate the mutation.

Based on this situation, it should be completed within a year at most.

After refilling the nutrient solution, which was nearly two-thirds depleted, Wang Ya gently tapped the wall of the chamber and disappeared from the experimental room under the influence of teleportation fluctuations.

The mutated demonic plant swayed slightly, absorbing the nutrient liquid to repair the damage to its cell walls and boost its energy.

Every breakage is a new round of reinforcement.

As usual, Wang Ya went to check the crimson rotten flesh and blood under the results of the coexistence of consciousness experiment. The process of absorbing Harak's blood was very fast, and it seemed that there was no change to the naked eye.

Under the influence of extraordinary mental power, fragments of consciousness were clearly detected, and the mental state became more stable.

Wang Ya nodded. The direction of the experiment was correct. All that was needed to complete were the other two parts of the puzzle: the analysis of the Black Core and the embryo cultivation of the Dream Infinite Genome, before the dream fusion experiment of Harak could be carried out.

The two analytical targets of the Eye of Truth are still too few.

Wang Ya was somewhat dissatisfied. If the number of targets to analyze increased to three or four, his wizard experiment would progress much faster.

Perhaps as his strength increases, the Eye of Truth will also change; who knows?

After all, the previous improvement in the analytical target of the Eye of Truth was also related to this aspect.

With this expectation still in mind, Wang Ya teleported into the study, where the two analysis targets were now available.

Break through to the eighth wizard rune today!

He held a glass bottle containing a deep blue liquid, removed the stopper, and gulped it down. The liquid flowed down his throat into his stomach and abdomen.

As the medication began to take effect, some blue scars gradually appeared on Wang Ya's skin, and they were even moving around, as if they had come back to life.

Eventually, these scars converged on Wang Ya's face, forming an unusual beard-like tattoo.

This is the "Deep Sea Potion," made from a supernatural creature from the Endless Sea called the "Blue-Palm Corroded Octopus." The potion's effects include accelerating the creation of wizard runes and maintaining the activity of spiritual power.

The second floor of the lower courtyard of the dimly lit library.

The wizard Slaty was still holding a book, sitting in the chair at the counter, using a monocular mirror to magnify the words on the pages.

The years had not left many marks on his face. He wore a brown wizard's robe, and the entire library was very quiet.

Wang Ya unbuttoned the pocket of his wizard's robe, put his right hand inside, and placed a book on the counter with his left hand.

Beneath the rotating bookshelf, among the rows of desks, sat more than a dozen unfamiliar faces, reading books and writing something at the same time, moving at a remarkably fast pace.

Wizard Slaty looked up and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, Wizard Wang Ya. It's been almost half a year since you've immersed yourself in the ocean of knowledge."

"Here I am," Wang Ya said, pushing the books on the counter toward Wizard Slatei, and then asking curiously, "What are these?"

"Do you remember when I invited you to participate in the chronicle? I have officially started writing it. These wizards are carefully selected by me, beings who are also immersed in the ocean of knowledge."

Wizard Slaty sighed and said, "Of course, it would be best if you could help me. The progress of the Dark Chronicles could probably be shortened by a quarter."

"What books are you here to consult?"

The wizard Slatty sensed the fluctuation in Wang Ya's aura, clearly indicating that he had just broken through and his particle energy and extraordinary spiritual power were in the process of calming down.

He was somewhat surprised. Judging from his aura, Wang Ya's strength was probably not weak among second-level wizard apprentices.

He can be considered one of the senior students in the Lower House, and he is among the strongest group.

That's a bit too fast.

How long has it been?

"There are many books to consult this time. It will probably take a long time." Wang Ya gently rubbed his fingers against the red metal ring, a flash of crimson light passing by. He gently placed the wizard card on the counter and said, "As for the specific amount of magic stones required, Wizard Tires can deduct it according to the rules."

The wizard Slaty paused for a moment, then smiled.

Watching Wang Ya's retreating figure as he headed towards the reading room, the wizard Slatty thought to herself, "So many changes, both in strength and wealth. What a mysterious little fellow."

No one has ever counted how many books are on the second floor of the Lower House library.

Wang Ya made up his mind and collected all the books in both the outer and inner areas.

The analytical capabilities of the Eye of Truth were still insufficient to meet the needs of Wang Ya's upcoming wizard experiments.

The time required is too long. To reach the limit of both values ​​within a hundred years, even advancing to the third-level wizard apprentice level would conservatively take him ten years.

Moreover, there is so much extraordinary knowledge to master and so many wizard experiments to complete.

The actual time spent will be much longer.

A book requires half a magic stone, or a magic stone.

Wang Ya possesses over 30,000 magic stones.

A conservative estimate of 30,000 books is an incredibly terrifying number.

How much performance improvement the Eye of Truth can deliver depends on the actual results.

A week later.

Wang Ya received the wizard card from the wizard Slatty and walked out of the second floor of the library amidst the wizard's surprised gaze.

After Wang Ya left, Wizard Slaty exclaimed to himself in amazement, "Seven days and seven nights! That's truly diligent. Wizard Wang Ya was really immersed in the ocean of knowledge. Even I am far inferior to him."

Spring has passed more than halfway, and a gentle breeze sweeps the maple leaves, which fall across the entire dark place.

There were noticeably more wizards on the streets, mainly due to the large-scale search.

Many wizards in Wizard City and other places were summoned back by headquarters for some information exchange.

This is only the initial part; many more wizards will continue to return in the future.

As for what these wizards were feeling, you could tell from the expressions on their faces as they walked out of the Rules Oversight Office.

Their faces were extremely gloomy, almost none of them had a good expression, and their sour faces and oppressive atmosphere caused many passing wizards to frown and quicken their pace.

They clearly know something.

News of what the Natural Ring Tower Wizard did to Skywing Wizard City has spread far and wide.

The internal search was no secret, and with more and more wizards returning to headquarters, it was common knowledge.

Almost none of the wizards summoned by the Rules and Regulations Department were clean; they all had problems to varying degrees and were punished according to the rules and regulations.

Wizards in the Underdark are generally either studying at academies or constantly taking on wizarding missions and traveling to various wizarding cities in order to make a living.

Wizards with inherent problems tend to look down on, or even despise, such rule-breaking behavior.

The rules of the Underdark are rules that all wizards must abide by, including even formal wizards.

These guys are not worthy of being wizards of the Underdark.

"It's all gone, everything is gone. Everything I have, my future, even the future hopes of my family, are all gone."

A recalled wizard murmured absentmindedly, his eyes bloodshot, his lips bitten until they bled.

He was the deputy captain of law enforcement in a wizarding city. There were many types of law enforcement wizards, and those who were large in number had different squads.

The deputy captain of law enforcement wielded considerable power. During his twenty years in office, he had strictly adhered to the rules and received a stipend from the Underworld. However, his family needed more extraordinary resources to send members with wizarding potential into the Underworld.

So his once unwavering heart softened. With insufficient resources and magic stones, he embarked on a path of breaking the rules. He felt apprehensive and worried, but eventually adapted. This was also the process of the wizard's heart being gradually eroded.

Over the course of ten years, he acquired resources, magic stones, and even extraordinary knowledge he had never had before, and he also allowed his family descendants to enter the Underdark. But now everything is gone, everything is lost. His family descendants have been stripped of their status as wizards in the Underdark, and so has he himself, who now has to repay a massive debt of resources and magic stones.

How will he, now a sorcerer in the wild, repay such a high debt?

Even if the entire family signed wizard experiment contracts to serve as test subjects, it would be impossible to repay the debt.

This wasn't just his situation; most wizards who came out of the Rules Oversight Department ended up like this, and even this was considered a mild outcome.

Many wizards were not even qualified to return to headquarters. They were killed on the spot or arrested and sent to wizard prisons by law enforcement wizards sent out by headquarters.

There were also some escaped wizards who had some prior information, but how far could they escape from the Underdark? In the end, they would only end up in prison, and even punishments that were not punishable by death would turn into death.

"I'm not reconciled. This shouldn't be happening. Why should I be deprived of everything? Everything I have is something I earned through hard work."

A wizard who had just left the Rule Inspection Office couldn't bear the shock of gaining and then losing everything. His mental state completely collapsed, and he actually unleashed particle energy and extraordinary mental power right at the entrance of the Rule Inspection Office.

The wizard, now slightly calmer, looked at the other wizard with pity.

Chi Chi!

Almost instantly, an even more powerful supernatural mental force suppressed him.

The law enforcement wizards from the Rules Oversight Department acted swiftly and arrested the wizard.

The terrifying killing intent made the other wizards' hearts skip a beat.

Enforcement wizards are all seasoned veterans who live by killing, and they are the kind of wizards who break the rules that they fear the most.

In the history of the Underdark, there have even been instances of law enforcement wizards killing official wizards.

"No, I'm not reconciled. What right do you have to arrest me? What right do you have? I did nothing wrong. Everything I have is something I earned on my own merit."

The wizard, though captured, continued to roar, his face contorted with rage and malice.

From inside the Rules Oversight Office, a figure emerged, dressed in a black wizard's robe. He was tall, with an indifferent expression, cold gray pupils, and sculpted features.

His identity is the captain of the first team of law enforcement wizards in this department, named "Gaeu Bruce".

Gaiu Bruce's eyes were incredibly cold, and his hoarse voice rang out, "Foolish fellow, do you really think you earned everything on your own? Without the identity of a wizard from the Underdark, without a position in the Wizarding City, you don't even qualify for a stipend. You're not even as good as those wizards in the wild."

"I don't believe you. You're talking nonsense. Everything I have is mine, and you can't take it away from me. You don't know how much effort I've put in."

"take away!"

"Damn King Yaharak, it's all your fault! You caused all of this! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! You've ruined everything I have!"

The hysterical roar echoed, drawing the attention of many passing wizards and making Gaius Bruce's face turn ugly.

A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his extraordinary spiritual power suddenly overwhelmed the wizard. With a "poof," his head exploded like a watermelon.

The red and white colors made the wizards around them who had made mistakes feel as if they had been doused with cold water, their hearts chilled to the bone.

Gaius said coldly, "He has violated the rules and shown no remorse, further violated the rules, insulted and threatened the Children of Darkness, and defied the law enforcement wizards. He deserves to die."

He glanced at the other wizards who had made mistakes, then led the group of law enforcement wizards and the headless corpse away from the place.

The remaining wizards had strange expressions and were still shaken.

However, the deceased wizard did say something that resonated deeply with them.

If it weren't for King Yahalak, they wouldn't be in this situation today.

Headquarters wouldn't be idle either; they conducted a thorough internal search of the entire Undercity.

As for the situation of Skywing Wizard City, it's just a wizard city in a remote area, not very large in size, and its sphere of influence is relative to that of the Natural Ring Tower, and it's also on the edge.

It is certainly possible for such a situation to occur.

In the rest of the Underdark, unless the wizards of the natural ring tower were insane, it would be impossible for them to plant any more people.

Skywing Wizard City is dispensable, and there are many alternatives to the Flying Griffin.

Many wizards looked on with resentment, and as their resentment arose, some thoughts also began to emerge.

One of the wizards raised this issue during the exchange of information through mental energy.

"Why are we all so miserable, while Wang Yahalak is still living a good life? So what if he's a wizard of a lineage? Of course he has everything and doesn't know the hardships we lower-class people endure."

"They even took away the only thing we had. I'm not reconciled; I have to make him experience our pain too."
