Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 220 [220] The Book of Akaka Suzuka Harak

"Prompt: Dark Wizard King Aharak, your authority level has been raised to Level 3, your honorary title of Child of Darkness has been promoted to Dark Star, and you have received the highest level of training in the Dark Cultivation Program; you have gained special privileges, and can browse the 'Basic' and 'Advanced' extraordinary knowledge of the Land of Inheritance without restriction, and enjoy a 90% discount on advanced inherited knowledge."

You have the highest level of authority; performance targets and tasks cannot constrain you. You have the authority to create functional departments under your command, with members limited to level two authority. You have the right to enter secret realms at a 10% discount, and the rewards for completing performance targets are doubled.

Your school of extraordinary learning enjoys a 10% discount, while wizards of the same lineage enjoy a 30% discount (for key quests, secret realms, and heritage sites).

Wang Ya's eyes flickered; he knew that the White Lake Wizard City incident would expose special particle energy and cause some changes.

But I never expected the changes to be so drastic.

What's so special about this? One person attains enlightenment and even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven? The entire extraordinary school and its lineage benefit from it!

It must be said that Wang Ya was very pleased with this change, which even exceeded some of his expectations.

What I value most is the change in access to the Land of Inheritance, which allows for unrestricted viewing of basic and advanced extraordinary knowledge.

The Dark Land has existed for an unknown amount of time. It is a place of inheritance that has existed since its inception. The advanced and basic knowledge it has accumulated is ten times, even a hundred times, more than that of advanced knowledge.

Even if it can't compare to advanced knowledge in terms of depth, its diversity, richness, and the fact that some wizards have ideas that they haven't had time to study in depth far surpass advanced knowledge. Moreover, advanced knowledge more or less contains some self-verification of the wizarding path by the corresponding wizards.

In terms of value, there is not much difference between the two.

If Wang Ya's Eye of Truth were to absorb all the 'basic' and 'advanced' extraordinary sorcerer books of the entire Dark Land, what level would its algorithm database reach? Wang Ya couldn't even imagine that scene. He licked his lips, a fiery look appearing in his eyes.

However, one thing is certain: the experiment on balance and illusion, and even the subsequent analysis of the heart of the evil god, will definitely not take that long five or ten years.

Hundred Herbs Wizard City.

House Stark territory.

A somber and somber atmosphere prevailed within the clan's territory. Almost every family member was taciturn, and the death of Rhodes Stark had a significant impact.

First and foremost, he was the eldest son, the only direct descendant, and the hope of the entire Stark family rested on his shoulders.

After someone dies, the resources and status they originally occupied will become vacant, and as for who will take their place, that's another story.

Rhodes' cause of death was quite clear. A formal wizard personally intervened and, through the remaining traces on the body, reconstructed the events.

He was one of the five ultimate wizard apprentices who died at the hands of King Yaharak.

White rats are skilled in cultivating witchcraft and are themselves on the path of bloodline wizards.

Punistark stood in the courtyard, watching the unpredictable clouds in the sky. Dark clouds gathered, and a cold wind blew, foreshadowing the arrival of a torrential downpour.

He has not left the residence where Rod lived for three days, and has even delegated some family matters to his subordinates.

"Why is this happening, Rhodes? Why is it that only you died while everyone else survived? In fact, he, a fellow third-level wizard apprentice, shone brightly, turning the entire White Lake Wizard City into his stage."

Punistark muttered to himself, "Rhodes, tell me why, why are you the only one who died, died in that cold city."

His answer was the clear sound of raindrops splashing on the floor.

The icy rain soaked his cheeks, and his tongue, wet with the rain, seemed to swallow the coldness into his stomach, assimilating it with his own warmth.

Punistark sighed, looking as if he had aged ten years; his already sparse hair now had even more gray hairs.

No one knows how much effort he poured into Rhodes, and how he became a turning point for the Stark family.

To this end, they even used the connection with the Purple Nightmare Wizard and spent a lot of resources, all in order to gain an advantage in resources and benefits.

This will allow Rhodes to get ahead of others in the Dark Cultivation Program and receive greater support and training.

All of this vanished with Rhodes' death.

Everything they have paid will become a bitter pill for the Stark family to swallow, a loss they must bear.

Whoosh!

In the pouring rain, Punistark saw the figure in the purple wizard's robe break through the void and emerge, his particle energy shield protecting him from the rain as he handed over an envelope.

"This is a decision made at the highest meeting. After you've read it, remember to destroy it."

Her lips, painted with purple lipstick, twitched slightly. "Sometimes, luck is also a kind of strength. Rhodes Stark's luck is just too bad."

Holding the envelope, Punistark, his body battered by the wind and rain, seemed to feel even colder, as if the constant warmth coursing through his spine had dissipated. He coughed and sighed, "Yes, bad luck. But who can control their luck? Rhodes' death can only be attributed to bad luck and insufficient strength."

After reading the contents of the parchment scroll inside the envelope, his lips turned deathly pale. "Heh, I see, I see!"

"Everyone receives an S-rank mission record, as well as Dark Points, Magic Stones, and the Land of Heritage reward. Rhodes is posthumously awarded the title of Darkwalker for his sacrifice. The Stark family can choose an outstanding wizard to participate in the examination and obtain a position on the Dark Star."

Puni Stark's eyes were icy cold. "Wang Yahalak has been promoted to a Dark Star, the first Dark Star in the Underworld, and even has more hidden privilege rewards."

"The Dark Cultivation Project!" Puni Stark sneered, and an energy fire raven appeared in his hand, burning the parchment scroll into nothingness.

Puni Stark wiped the rain from his face, his eyes cold. The information on the parchment scroll made him unable to contain his anger.

The murderous intent that this anger transformed into almost burst through his body.

A terrifying burst of particle energy erupted, and the rain seemed to freeze for a moment. Cracks appeared on the ground, gradually eroding the entire courtyard.

boom!

Amidst the dust-covered buildings, and the gazes of numerous wizards who rushed to the scene upon noticing the commotion, he walked out step by step in the heavy rain, his imposing aura and chilling killing intent palpable.

It was a night when the moon and stars were nowhere to be seen; the darkness was so profound that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. The pitch-black night was like ink spilled onto a snow-white canvas.

Whoosh!

The continuous river flows downstream from upstream, but then suddenly drops sharply midway, cascading down like a waterfall into the huge, deep pit.

The area is extremely large, encompassing a distance of tens of thousands of meters or even further, and the depth is even more terrifying.

River water flows into it continuously, forming an unusual lake. This should have been a good place for birds and fish to live, but it is dead and lifeless.

The figure, dressed in a black wizard's robe and standing 1.8 meters tall, stood on the shore, quietly overlooking the vastness of the lake and the raging particle energy fluctuations. Even though nearly ten days had passed, one could still feel the chilling and terrifying aura emanating from it.

She wore a white tiger mask with blue pupils peeking out from the holes, and had short, shoulder-length, light blue hair. If Wang Ya were here, he would definitely recognize her as the buyer who had purchased his Water Guardian Witchcraft Array in the Vast Ocean Wizard City.

"This is the legendary, man-made, unique landform known as 'Lake Harak.' It's truly terrifying witchcraft and terrifying particle energy."

She took out a special wizard instrument from her wizard ring. As particle energy was injected, a subtle attraction began to draw in the surrounding natural particle energy and measure some special parameters.

She was somewhat shocked. "Are you kidding me? The power of this witchcraft is conservatively estimated to be eighty degrees, or even higher."

"Is this really the kind of witchcraft that a third-level wizard apprentice can unleash?"

"And the activity level contained in this special particle energy, how could it be so high? Incredible, how did they manage to do that?"

She had initially thought it was just an exaggerated rumor, but now, after conducting an on-site investigation and gathering evidence, she realized that everything in the rumor was true. Her emotions were in turmoil, and she could no longer calm down.

From this perspective, Wang Yahalak's potential is probably even more terrifying than hers.

"The plan to encircle the tower naturally cannot be disrupted; it's a troublesome variable!"

She frowned, biting her thin lips, and her voice was very pleasant, completely incongruous with her tall stature and frame.

Soon, her figure disappeared from the spot.

Inside the laboratory.

Wang Ya took out the corpse of a dream creature from the Dream Mirror, without worrying about whether it would spoil or smell bad.

Even if dream creatures die, they will only slowly transform into dream power and return to the dream world itself, thus achieving a certain cycle.

In a bubble-filled environment, this differentiation process can be altered to some extent, influencing certain aspects of its nature and thus maintaining its optimal state.

[Target: Suzuka deer]

[Details: It has the appearance of an ordinary elk, but is half its size. Its antlers possess a special mental influence. When capturing it, be wary of its hidden second tactic: its mouth can emit a sound-vibration-like effect that causes mental confusion and brain tissue compression. Note: It is extremely fast, but ferocious and enjoys torturing dream creatures weaker than itself. Perhaps feigning weakness to lure it into a trap and kill it—Leaves by Wizard Wang Ya.]

[Effect: Grind deer antlers into powder, mix with deer heart, and consume. Consuming both a whole deer heart and the antler powder will grant a complete boost to mental strength. Note: A mental assessment is required; failure will result in mental damage. Perhaps this is the resentment of the deceased—left by Wizard Wang Ya]

Wang Ya closed a shamanic book made entirely of special parchment, with traces of its handcrafted nature visible everywhere.

It was stored in the Dream Mirror.

My gaze fell on the Akaka Suzuka on the worktable in front of me. The Dream Mirror maintained a certain range of dream territory, ensuring that its form existed in reality.

Wang Ya took out the Shadow Killer Blade and easily cut off the deer antlers.

Next came the deer heart. The chest cavity was opened, and cuts were made at specific angles along the vertical and then the horizontal sections. Extraordinary anatomy was the foundation of everything, and Wang Ya had it almost instinctively. As soon as the blade touched the skin, he knew how much force to use, even the direction of each capillary and the bleeding effect after it was cut.

Ten minutes later, as gray powder was sprinkled onto the crimson, burning, and still trembling heart, the Akaka Dream Feast, which boosted mental strength, was completed.

Wang Ya used the Shadow Blade to stab the deer heart, then bit into it. Blood spread down his jaw and neck, and a foul stench filled the air. An expression of ecstasy and enjoyment appeared on his face.

They tore at the food, chewed it, and swallowed it.

A minute later, Wang Ya, who had finished eating it all, had a satisfied expression on her face.

Putting aside everything else, the creatures of the dream world are truly exceptional in terms of taste, especially their blood-based and raw foods. Unlike some of the raw marinated dishes from coastal areas in my past life, which only offered the flavor of the seasonings and whose meat wasn't as succulent as I had imagined, the Akaka deer is different. Its deer heart has the soft and tender texture of sweet stuffed chicken, as well as the moist and tender texture of braised meat with white-sauce vegetables and pearl jade white jade soup. Eating it instantly makes your taste buds explode and your mouth water.

Wang Ya felt it necessary to compile a complete recipe book for dream creatures and record it in the Book of Harak.

Expanding the recipe book for extraordinary creatures in the future is not out of the question.

Within the wizarding system, there exists a special branch called the Gourmet Wizard, who creates food comparable to extraordinary potions, achieving a perfect balance in both taste and effect.

It should be able to make more perfect use of some of the extraordinary effects of dream creatures.

I wonder if this nearly extinct branch of the wizarding system still exists within the Land of Heritage.

Wang Ya frowned as a sharp pain spread from his abdomen to the nerve endings in his brain, then through a reflex arc to every cell in his body.

This pain is extremely peculiar and cannot be avoided by controlling the body; it even stings at the level of the soul.

This should be the judgment test of the Akaka Suzuka.

Foodies, having satisfied their palates, naturally have to make a certain exchange to achieve more.

Wang Ya gradually closed his eyes, his consciousness in a disordered state, and began to undergo a mental judgment.

[Note: Mental strength assessment passed. Mental strength increased by 0.3 this time. Current mental strength: 37.3]

Wang Ya opened his eyes, which were stained with ink. He shook his head; the value was 0.3, much lower than before.

His expectations should at least be raised to 37.4.

However, it doesn't matter, as the Dream Mirror also contains many dream creatures that can increase mental strength.
