Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 302 [302] Senior Sister, Long Time No See

"The war in Whitelake Wizard City is over. We, the Underdark, have won."

In the taverns every night, you can see wizards discussing things with each other.

"The overall commander of the White Lake Wizard City is Wizard Is. With this achievement, I believe he will be able to advance even further."

"The replacement of the twelve main branches was apparently proposed at the last Supreme Wizard Conference. If nothing unexpected happens, the next Dark Supreme Conference will fully implement this plan, with the weaker branches stepping down and being replaced by senior, officially recognized wizards."

The wizarding apprentices who were talking kept their voices down, as if they had some reservations.

After all, this is related to the White Bone lineage, a family of three formal wizards, which can be considered to have the strongest foundation and the greatest strength among the twelve main lineages.

"With three formal wizards in one family, the White Bone lineage has reached an unprecedented peak of power, which cannot be supported by resources and authority alone. I think Wizard Is has the idea of ​​becoming independent and gaining enough merit. Even if she is at a disadvantage in terms of age and background when becoming a formal wizard, others will not be able to affect her much."

"Don't forget, that person has returned." A figure joined them, sitting in the chairs around the table.

The protective magic array isolated the sound from both inside and outside, while simultaneously enveloping the area in a layer of distorted ripples, making it impossible to discern appearances or identities.

Yes! That person has returned.

The wizards surrounding the small table all wore expressions of emotion.

The hottest news in the Underdark right now is not the victory of Whitelake Wizard City, but the emergence of the Underdark Star, once the strongest in the Underdark.

"He has been missing for eighteen years. I wonder how many people really believe that he has died somewhere, or that he had a problem during his seclusion, or that he encountered danger while completing a wizarding mission. Otherwise, he would not have disappeared without a trace for so many years without any news."

The figure who joined spoke with a touch of emotion. Back then, he was also a member of the Dream School of Wizards, and compared to wizards from other schools, he knew that person better.

It should be said that, apart from a very few people, he is the one who knows that person's existence best.

"Now that he's back, and still possesses the strength of a full-fledged wizard, he's destined to participate in the next Dark High Council. Unfortunately, it's too late. If he had participated in the last Dark High Council, the fate of the Dream School would have been different."

The voice sighed. If there was a future, if there was hope, how could he have left the Dream School and joined the Demon Dragon lineage instead?

Too many factors influenced him: his family, his path as a wizard, the situation, the future, and the anxieties and hesitations in his heart. Having spent almost half his life with the Dreamline, he initially wanted to persevere with them, but in the end, he was no match for the Autumn and Winter Wizard.

He, Vidor, was no longer a wizard of the Dream lineage. That person had returned, and he had no right to see him.

With the isolation spell array deactivated, the group prepared to leave.

Wizard Victor couldn't help but say, "The situation at headquarters has gradually stabilized. The change of the twelve main branches is unchangeable; this is something that almost all the formal wizards at the meeting have tacitly agreed to. With the successful defense of White Lake Wizard City, and given Wizard Is's achievements, there is a great chance that a new branch will be established."

"That's right. Even if that person comes back, there's not much chance of changing anything. The official wizards of the entire Undercity Council have tacitly agreed to this, which is equivalent to the rules of the Undercity. Rules cannot be changed; they can only be followed."

"To make changes is tantamount to facing pressure from most of the official wizards at the Supreme Dark Council."

The wizards on the seats remained silent. Although their strength had reached the upper-middle level, with the strength of a third-level wizard apprentice or even a limit wizard apprentice, they were all silent.

When it comes to the formal wizarding stage, all that can be done is to talk about it in hushed tones; let alone change anything, there's little hope of even making a dent.

"If you don't even know a fraction of what's going on, don't spout nonsense. Even if White Lake Wizard City wins, Wizard Yi Si won't be able to open another lineage." A cold snort came from a corner table. It belonged to a figure dressed in a black wizard's robe, with extremely cold eyes and an extremely intimidating aura.

The several wizards sitting together were mostly dressed in black wizard robes, and their auras were also similar, presenting an overall sense of tension, which was instinctive.

Only those who are constantly experiencing danger can exhibit such outward behavior.

Wizard Victor was taken aback for a moment, then laughed angrily, "What do you know, what can you do? When did it become your place to talk about matters concerning wizards?"

"Hehe, we know better than anyone how White Lake Wizard City won." The wizard who spoke walked out from the corner. It was none other than Tran, the Limit Wizard apprentice who had been saved by Wang Ya in Dragon Tooth Wizard City.

Those who came out with them were all wizards from Dragon Tooth Wizard City, or wizards with familiar positions from White Lake Wizard City.

They all share the same temperament, have been tempered by war, and stand together through thick and thin.

"White Lake Wizard City's victory, and our ability to sit here today, are all thanks to one person: Lord Nightmare Wizard. He saved everyone in Dragon Fang Wizard City and, more importantly, swayed the entire Battle of White Lake, turning the tide of the war from a disadvantageous position to one that was on the verge of defeat."

"Without Lord Nightmare Wizard, White Lake Wizard City cannot be defended. Without victory, everyone will die, no one will survive. Of course, if Lord Nightmare Wizard survives, we can simply abandon White Lake Wizard City." Tran's tone was high-spirited. Although he did not explicitly name anyone, everyone present knew who he was referring to.

He was also filled with resentment, and after the Battle of White Lake, some news spread like wildfire in the Divine Eagle's territory.

The battle plan, as well as the various wrong choices and responses made by Wizard Yi Si, were analyzed by specialists so that junior apprentice wizards could understand and recognize them.

This resentment was directed at Wizard Yi Si, whose wrong choices and flawed battle plans had led to such a disastrous situation and the deaths of so many official wizards.

Tran is now wondering if they would have died in Dragonfang Wizard City if the Nightmare Wizard hadn't intervened that day.

The answer is certain: only formal wizards have the possibility of escaping. The teleportation magic circle has also been blocked from teleportation by the enemy at the spatial level, and is temporarily ineffective.

Everything was targeted; the enemy had identified all aspects. The only unexpected factor might be Lord Nightmare Wizard.

Tran knew that there might be some hidden purpose behind the widespread dissemination of this news, but the fact was the fact. Even if they were being used as pawns, the facts could not be changed.

At the very least, we cannot allow Wizard Yiss to open another lineage; he simply is not qualified.

All the losses suffered by Whitelake Wizard City were caused by him.

The current victory has absolutely nothing to do with him; it is all thanks to Lord Nightmare Wizard. Even the captured enemy wizard was all accomplished by the other party alone.

The wizard Victor's face stiffened. "You guys."

He also sensed something was wrong, and his wizard companion behind him alerted him through mental fluctuations.

Wizard Victor took a deep breath to calm himself down.

This group of people are no ordinary people; they are wizards who have personally experienced war.

There was no point in him speaking any further, so he could only leave the Night Night Tavern with his fellow wizard, his face stiff.

Some of the wizards watching were also drawn to the farce, and after both sides left, their eyes still held a thoughtful look.

He was clearly thinking about the inside story of Whitelake Wizard City and the impact that person's return would have.

Generally, only third-level wizard apprentices or ultimate wizard apprentices would consider this aspect.

As for the weaker wizards, they were still worrying about tomorrow's magic stone, the knowledge they needed to acquire, and what wizarding quests to accept.

"It seems that the appearance of Lord Nightmare Wizard in White Lake Wizard City is no ordinary matter. The situation at headquarters is about to become turbulent again." Some insightful Limit Wizard apprentices made their predictions based on the information they had gathered so far, and the results were quite astonishing.

This was beyond their control, so they all fell silent, waiting for things to develop further.

The same things that happen at the Night Night Tavern continue to happen in other areas of headquarters.

The wizards of this sect debated their opinions.

More were wizards from Dragonfang Wizard City and White Lake Wizard City, as well as those who had participated in the war, who returned to headquarters to spread some true information, which was completely different from the opinions that had been generated in advance at headquarters.

The most crucial thing is the achievements of the wizard Yi Si.

The two different accounts, one true and one false, seem to be guided, influenced, or even opposed by two forces.

The chief wizards, who had a long-term vision and a deep understanding of the situation, all fell silent, letting the matter unfold.

I will not participate in any speeches, nor will I choose any particular direction of opinion.

As long as the true facts exist, they will eventually be definitively established.

After finishing his final piece in his wizarding residence, Lando the Wizard accused "Is the Wizard" of inaction and that the battle plan had led to a major failure. He questioned whether such a loser was qualified to start a new lineage, or whether he should be punished rather than have his achievements discussed.

The anonymous message was sent to the Dark Information Hub, specifically to the upper right corner of the Dark Library's quest-accepting section.

Major events that happen at headquarters are usually posted on this platform.

Wizards bearing the mark of the Dark Wizard can see these articles and can choose to publish them anonymously or with real information, or to express their thoughts.

However, they all maintained a basic level of discretion; for those with sufficient authority, anonymity was just empty talk.

Articles concerning formal wizards are rarely published, and even when they are, they are rarely negative.

Lando the Wizard published a total of six articles of accusation, all of which were related to formal wizards, and were just short of insulting them by name.

Because at the beginning of the article, the wizard Lando describes himself as a participant in the war and a firsthand witness to the events in White Lake Wizard City.

Most of the wizards who left behind their thoughts and ideas were not at the level of ultimate wizard apprentices; they were mostly low-level apprentice wizards.

"My Nightmare Teacher, I've gone to great lengths for you, and with the winds blowing through White Lake Wizard City, these winds have finally begun to blow at headquarters. Whether they can shake the heavens and the earth depends on you."

"I'm sure you're also looking forward to this situation. To break the stable situation, another powerful force is needed."

Lando the Wizard put down his quill and stood by the window. The spring breeze outside caressed his fair face, and his hair flew about. His previously lazy expression was completely gone.

A pair of brown eyes, filled with unprecedented wisdom and coldness.

The White Bone Clan's power is immense, but the fact remains the fact, and no matter what measures Wizard Yi Si takes, it is an established fact that cannot be changed.

Unless all those in the know disappear.

"Fengxing, it seems you're determined to go down this dark path. Some things can only be done by the person involved. Your behavior will make it difficult for you to continue in the White Bone Clan."

A hint of emotion appeared on the wizard Lando's face. The current turmoil at headquarters, the various messages being transmitted, and the rampant news in the Eagle's territory were all orchestrated by him behind the scenes.

The wizard Yi Si has a very straightforward personality; she wouldn't stoop to such tactic.

Lando the Wizard knew his friend's personality well. Perhaps Windwalker the Wizard had used the influence of the Bone Clan to cause the situation at headquarters to develop in this way.

"Don't blame me, Fengxing. We're on different paths, so we can't work together." Wizard Lando stretched and yawned, his expression returning to its usual languid state. "It's not that I'm ruthless, it's just the way things are!"

Maple leaves drifted down one by one, just like before, but without the wind, they couldn't rise into the sky or cover the entire dark land; they could only drift back and forth in this maple forest.

The stone path was covered with maple leaves, but it seemed to be regularly maintained, as the leaves were piled up on both sides, and the stone slabs were not covered, so it was still passable.

The figure, clad in a black wizard's robe, moved elusively along the stone path, never touching a maple leaf or a stone slab, the robe passing right through it the moment it touched anything.

The black and white raven on the shoulder stared at this familiar place with its gray-black pupils. As if remembering something, it opened its beak, raised one of its claws, and turned to look at its master.

The white-haired figure wearing a black lotus mask nodded at it, and the black and white winged raven immediately spread its wings and flew into the void.

The figure in the yellow wizard's robe stood at the end of the stone path, lingering there as if waiting for a long time.

Wang Ya's eyes glazed over for a moment, as if he saw a familiar figure, a familiar presence, but the wooden smiling mask was gone. Instead, there was a similarly familiar, but somewhat haggard, androgynous face.

The hair was brown and very dry, as if it hadn't been properly styled in a long time, with many split ends that fell casually over the shoulders and back.

Pale yellow maple leaves fluttered gently around him, and with the spring breeze, the figure in the yellow wizard's robe finally showed a significant difference from the figure in Wang Ya's memory.

"Senior sister, it's been a long time."
