Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 20 [20] The Secret Records of Equis, the Legendary Battle-Body Wizard

[Target: The Secret History of Aegis]

[Details: A wizarding legacy from an ancient era, fortunately well-preserved. Unlike the prevailing wizarding systems of the present age, it is an ancient and rare secret manual of physical combat wizards. A branch of wizarding that reveres the absolute physical body.]

[Appendix: Soul, bloodline, consciousness, dreams, energy, elements, matter... A wizard who pursues truth, exploring all the unknown. A pioneer in researching the limits of the physical body.]

[Further analysis complete: The secret manual is incomplete, containing only the basic parts, but it can be used to create the battle body 'Thunder Emperor'. It significantly enhances physical attributes, grants various special characteristics, and bestows innate abilities equivalent to witchcraft.]

Wang Ya: "."

This really touches on a blind spot; Wang Ya currently has no information about battle-body wizards.

The books on the wizard ship give new wizarding students a general understanding of the wizarding world and introduce information related to the wizarding forces in the Underdark.

Perhaps clues can be found in the shadowy places.

Wang Ya wasn't sure if this battle-body wizard was any good or bad, and whether he should try to master and cultivate the Hephaestus's Wrath inheritance was a decision he was determined to make. A systematic inheritance of witchcraft was something that was hard to come by.

In terms of the number of pages and content, the Codex Aquis should be more complex and difficult than the Hephaestus.

It's impossible for one person to learn and master everything; choosing one's own path as a wizard is the most important decision-making process.

Wang Ya rubbed his forehead, wondering what he was thinking. Before entering the Dark Wizarding Academy, let alone choosing the path of a wizard, he should be grateful for the opportunity to acquire and learn extraordinary knowledge. The new students on the wizarding ship were still struggling to master the low-level witchcraft they had chosen.

Harak's extraordinary cultivation magic is complete. The time spent on the wizard ship can be used to learn and master this extraordinary knowledge, which is Wang Ya's advantage.

Curiosity is the most fundamental desire of a wizard, and he wanted to see what unique qualities this battle-body wizard possessed, and why he was so rare in the current era.

However, the focus of his research is destined to be less than the witchcraft tradition of Hephaestus' Wrath, and he will only consider studying it after he has fully mastered the latter.

I stacked the two books together, stood up, and realized that the most important thing now was to sleep!

A wave of intense fatigue washed over Wang Ya. Before collapsing onto the bed, he carefully placed the wooden box containing the grim finger bones next to his pillow.

Then, an almost unstoppable drowsiness washed over me.

Even in his sleep, Wang Ya, who was holding two books, had a slight frown on his brow.

The sound of waves rising and falling outside, and the faint echoes of the waves entering the room as the ship rocked.

In a daze, it seemed as if a figure with long green hair slowly appeared, looking at him with gentle eyes.

As many times before, when I tried to cover myself with the blanket, my hands just passed right through it.

Those eyes paused for a moment, then became complicated. So she sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching him for a long, long time, until the sound of waves crashing against the bluestone rang out, until the inky darkness was pierced by an extremely brilliant light that passed through the window, and the figure in the light became even more illusory, and then disappeared.

Her black hair was messy, obscuring her beautiful eyebrows.

Wang Ya sat half-upright on the bed, one hand supporting her knee, the other hand rubbing her hair until she was more awake.

Harak had already woken up and was flying around the room uncontrollably, flapping his wings and touching the windows and ceiling.

Wang Ya yawned, walked over and opened the window, and even more magnificent sunlight streamed in, as if bathing in gold.

The salty sea breeze and the warmth on her cheeks made Wang Ya feel exceptionally good.

Except for a black crow that was burrowing over his shoulder, trying to squeeze out of the window and enjoy the freedom of the sky.

He flicked Harak's little head, grabbed his body, and threw him out like a shot put.

Harak, who had recovered instantly, spread his wings and excitedly flew higher.

The food in the automated restaurant was, as always, the same old thing. Wang Ya sat in his usual spot, eating quickly, his mind filled with thoughts of the wizarding lineage.

The allure of advanced witchcraft further fueled his interest as a wizard.

Gray didn't appear; perhaps he was in his room, feeding his lizard, Kobik.

A beautiful figure suddenly stood in front of me. Looking up, I saw striking red hair, followed by a fair face with a hint of arrogance.

Anna began, "Soon, the wizard ship will be able to reach the Dark Wizard Academy. Here's a piece of advice for you, as a thank you for the little favor you did for me a few nights ago."

She said calmly, "Give up on extraordinary nurturing magic. Your raven hasn't changed size at all, which proves you have no talent for it. Choose the elemental energy system, study particle energy magic, and go to Wizard Tuta; perhaps you can have a chance to change."

"I'm preparing to reopen the Wizarding Exchange Conference. Of course, those of you who chose the elemental energy category are eligible to participate."

Anna's long red hair seemed to ignite the air as she turned and walked away, seemingly taking a gust of wind with her.

Wang Ya ate her food silently, her expression unchanged.

When the wizarding freshmen in the automated restaurant turned their gazes to him, his brows furrowed slightly.

What he dislikes most is this kind of meaningless trouble.

The many gazes held a variety of meanings: surprise, frowns. It was as if the wizarding freshmen who chose the extraordinary cultivation program were inferior to them.

Wang Ya's gaze was cold and his expression was extremely indifferent. After finishing the last bite of food, he stood up and walked towards the cabin.

Back in her room, Wang Ya didn't dwell on the little incident at the restaurant. A person who cares about and changes because of other people's opinions or attitudes is someone who has lost themselves and is utterly pathetic.

His gaze fell upon the two books on the desk, and he ultimately chose the one about the inheritance of witchcraft.

When you open the book, you'll find many draft papers with analyses and notes pasted between the pages.

Sometimes, a single page on the draft paper contains more content than a single page in the inherited sorcery book. As you continue turning the pages, this almost fills the entire book. This significantly increases the value of the inherited sorcery.

A being who appeared to be a level three wizard apprentice had annotated it with his hard work and experience. The previous detours were no longer necessary, and even the difficulty of analyzing the Eye of Truth was greatly reduced.
