Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 351 [351] Rejecting Dissidents: Nightmare Silently Develops and Changes

A dark place.

Wang Ya was sitting at his desk, using a quill pen to refine some details of the wizard's plan.

The corresponding analysis is underway, and he needs to further refine the wizard plan. In the coming days, he will most likely stay in the Dream Tower to improve his strength.

The war was over, and he had no interest in resource allocation or profit-taking. What was rightfully his would always be his, and even if he didn't ask, any smart person would not be shortchanged him.

This is the confidence that comes from strength, status, and authority.

The power of a formal wizard was far from enough to give Wang Ya a sense of security.

He needs to further improve his strength, at least by attempting to complete the fusion transformation to see if he can significantly increase his power.

Fortunately, the consciousness from the Sea Dragon Secret Realm brought back good news.

As he pondered setting up a long-distance teleportation array to travel to the Sea Dragon Secret Realm via the sent node coordinates, Wang Ya's expression suddenly turned serious, and he looked at Harak in the room.

The sensation transmitted through the soul imprint caused something in Harak's abdomen to emit extraordinary fluctuations.

Soon, Harak flew down from the clothes rack to the ground, opened his beak, and vomited something.

It was a special green metal token.

"A disposable message-transmitting device, how extravagant."

Wang Ya raised an eyebrow, and Gray's face and figure appeared in his mind.

"Don't eat random things next time, especially strange-tasting wild supernatural creatures," Wang Ya muttered.

Harak opened its beak and made a "clucking" sound, as if to say, "Master can check; it hasn't eaten anything strange."

"Alright, go out and play by yourself." Wang Ya waved his hand casually, and white light appeared on the black and white wings of the raven, forcibly entering a dream state, passing through the walls and ceiling, and appearing in the sky outside the castle.

Harak flapped his wings and flew into the primeval forest.

Wang Ya used his extraordinary mental power to understand the information on the token. He frowned slightly and said, "Leaving the Dark Land, Gray, if you don't want to confront me, you should tell the nature wizard not to do anything foolish."

"The difference between the Natural Ring Tower and the Underdark is now obvious."

Wang Ya's expression still carried a hint of surprise and uncertainty. The message that Gray Brandy was still trying to convey to Wang Ya, even after he had returned to the natural ring tower, must be very important.

But it was precisely because Grey Brandy returned to the Natural Ring Tower, and the wizarding faction he belonged to was the Underdark.

Therefore, Wang Ya cannot completely trust the information the other party provides.

This is true both emotionally and logically.

The message instructed him to leave the Dark Land and join the Natural Ring Tower, as he and Wang Ya did not want to fight to the death or become enemies.

That was just a brief sentence; there was no other information.

Wang Ya pondered the other meanings implied therein, considering several aspects that Gray Brandy wanted to express, and finally placed the green token on the desk, covering it with a black and white foam.

There is another matter that needs to be addressed.

"The meeting convened by the Dark Wizards must have been about dividing the spoils of victory; I didn't realize so much time had passed."

Wang Ya slowly walked into the void, and when he reappeared, he was already inside the giant pyramid of the headquarters, in the conference space. Figures had already taken their seats, and Wang Ya also sat in his assigned position, the Dream Seat.

He frowned slightly because there were many unfamiliar faces and newly added locations along the main meridian.

The number of figures standing on the branch side also seemed to have decreased, with some of them replaced. The faces standing at the front were relatively young and unfamiliar.

What surprised Wang Ya the most was that the position of the Rhine lineage was removed and replaced by the Netherworld Sword symbol of the Netherworld lineage created by Polaris.

The insignia of the Fierce Tiger lineage was also removed, and replaced with the insignia of the main lineage of the Saiyan Wizards, which is adjacent to the Water Margin lineage, but closer to the head.

The Evil Witches also have a lineage, ranked below the North Star. The position of the Bone Witches has changed considerably, now ranking last. Surprisingly, neither the Shoggoth Witch nor the Is Witch successfully opened their lineages.

In addition, the lineage of the Dragon Gods disappeared, and was replaced by the neighboring Silver Moon Wizards and Karen Wizards.

Wang Ya sensed something unusual, and his expression beneath his composed facade became somewhat subtle.

Neither Whitey nor Schneider were seen in the meeting space.

The Dark Wizard sat at the head of the table, his expression calm, his eyes closed, quietly awaiting the arrival of the many formal wizards.

The Ghostlight Wizard stood behind him, and judging from this, the rumors from headquarters can be considered true.

Upon arriving at the appointed time, the Dark Wizard opened his eyes and went straight to the point, saying, "One thing that everyone is very concerned about is how to manage all those extra energy tide gathering places, resource production areas, and vast territories."

The eyes of the many formal wizards present immediately brightened, and they no longer cared about the discomfort caused by the change in the first figure. Instead, they pondered the contents of the dark wizard's words.

Wang Ya observed out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but admire the Dark Wizard's shrewdness; with just a few words, he had established his advantage. However, to secure a position as a decision-maker, even with the best hand, one needs to play it perfectly to satisfy everyone.

The Dark Wizard then spoke up, "As many of you know, I have stepped down from my position as decision-maker and handed it over to the Dark Wizard. From now on, he will be in charge of making decisions for the entire Dark Land."

"I already have ideas regarding the allocation of resources and territories, and the specific situation is as follows: without a doubt, everyone here bears a difficult task and needs to go to these places to maintain and defend them."

The Dark Wizard interjected promptly, offering his insightful points on what everyone was concerned about, while also subtly hinting at other objectives. This two-pronged approach ensured that, for an hour, even the many formal wizards present did not realize that they had subconsciously accepted the Dark Wizard's seat in the head position without any sense of difference.

Wang Ya remained silent, listening intently while his mind wandered to exploring the Sea Dragon Secret Realm.

The consciousness entity Wang Ya was already prepared and was just waiting for him to go over and complete the refining of the core array plate of the witch array in the Sea Dragon Secret Realm, so as to completely control the array spirit 'Spirit Dragon'.

At this stage, it is the initial control and refinement of the consciousness. Only when the full strength of a wizard is achieved will it be able to completely control it. At that time, even if there are still some problems with the 'Spirit Dragon', such as the Sea Dragon Wizard's obsession not being completely eliminated or the remnant soul not being completely dead, Wang Ya can personally take action to completely send the Sea Dragon Wizard away from this world cleanly.

The Dark Wizard suddenly stopped speaking.

A slight look of doubt crossed everyone's eyes as they turned to the Dark Wizard at the head of the table. The Light Wizard had already vanished into the shadows behind the Dark Wizard, silently observing the meeting without interfering. Just as she had said, she had completely relinquished all power and position; she was no longer the decision-maker.

"The Ferocious Tiger Wizard is a traitor and has been imprisoned by me in the Dark Wizard Prison. The White Guding Wizard is also a traitor; both of them are inside agents of the Natural Ring Tower."

"The Dragon Wizard died in the Ocean Corridor. To save the Dragon Wizard, the Wizard Schneider was caught in the flood and buried in the endless sea, his fate unknown."

The words spoken by the Dark Wizard were like a boulder crashing onto a calm lake, creating a tremendous upheaval.

"Impossible! How could the Ferocious Tiger Wizard be a traitor? He has made so many contributions to the Dark Lands, and even in the war against the Natural Ring Tower, he performed admirably."

"Whitey is a disciple of Ferocious Tiger Wizard. If Ferocious Tiger Wizard is a traitor and an inside agent, Whitey is also very likely to be implicated."

"It's a pity about the Dragon Wizard and the Wizard Schneider; they both died in the Battle of the Ocean Corridor. They both made great contributions to the Underdark and held high positions."

The many formal wizards present began to discuss among themselves, their expressions varied. The branch wizards, in particular, were talking loudly, their faces filled with shock, stunned by the news and unable to react for a moment.

Every official wizard can be said to be the foundation of the Underdark. The loss of four official wizards in succession, including the fact that the Ferocious Tiger Wizard and the White Guding Wizard were traitors, is the most shocking and unbelievable thing.

Wang Ya narrowed his eyes. The Ferocious Tiger Wizard might be the real case, but the Demon Dragon Wizard could not possibly have died in the Ocean Corridor. Wang Ya frowned slightly at Schneider Wizard's words. Combining this with the main lineage rankings at the meeting and the faces of the official wizards being replaced, he had already discerned the Dark Wizard's training team and their intention to consolidate their position.

The previous Darklands were under the decision of the Darklight Wizard.

Now that new decision-makers have taken office, isn't this just another example of a new broom sweeping clean in the Witcher World version?

However, he didn't make much of a move on the official wizards who were on his side; the main lineage positions and everything else remained unchanged.

Wang Ya gave the Dark Wizard a deep look.

The latter seemed to sense something and looked over, their eyes meeting for a moment.

One's gaze was extremely calm, and his black pupils seemed to contain the vastness and mystery of the starry sky.

On one side is a deep and restrained darkness, as if concealing something else, like an abyss, hiding a burning ambition.

Wang Ya withdrew his gaze. As long as it didn't affect him, there wouldn't be any problem.

Regarding the Dream Wizard, all he has made so far is the final preparations for the Dream Lake and the Dream Forest. How to connect them with the Dream Tower so that they can be moved into the Bubble World at any time is a difficult challenge for Wang Ya.

Fortunately, progress has been made under the analysis of the Eye of Truth, but it will still take some time.

Wang Ya had already made up his mind that in the time to come, he would do his best to improve his strength and explore the Sea Dragon Secret Realm, where the many resources inside would be an opportunity.

The day when the Dark Wizard and the Light Wizard will confront each other is not far off.

The news that the Ferocious Tiger Wizard and the White Guding Wizard were spies within the Natural Ring Tower spread throughout the Underdark headquarters, causing quite a stir.

No one expected that the Ferocious Tiger Wizard, one of the main factions, would actually be an inside agent for the Natural Ring Tower.

No one expected that the Dark Wizard would personally take action, and in the presence of many wizards from the headquarters, behead the Ferocious Tiger Wizard and the White Guding Wizard.

There were also quite a few formal wizards present, including the White Bone Wizard and the Wizard of Yisi.

As the head of the Ferocious Tiger Wizard rolled off, along with his soul and consciousness, the Bone Wizard's expression became complex, a hint of unease in his eyes. He sighed inwardly, turning to look at the somewhat familiar, but mostly unfamiliar, faces of formal wizards around him. The Bone Wizard silently walked through the crowd and left the Dark Wizard Prison. Wizard Is sensed something was amiss with his teacher and followed him.

Outside the Tower of Bones lies a desolate bone forest, its trees bare, its soil filled with various skeletons and splintered bone spurs.

The figures of the Bone Wizard and the Wizard of Yis emerged from the void. The former suddenly stopped, looked at the latter, and said, "You seem to have some doubts in your heart, or perhaps you want to ask me why there is such a big abnormal phenomenon."

Wizard Is paused for a moment, then nodded.

The Bone Wizard showed an unusual look of exhaustion, and said with a sigh, "I find that the Underdark has changed, becoming more and more unfamiliar. It no longer seems to be the familiar Underdark of my memories."

"The disappearance of the Dream, the death of Rhine, the death of the Demon Dragon and the Ferocious Tiger—you have all grown up now. Perhaps," the Bone Wizard paused, sighed, and said, "even the decision-makers have become Dark Wizards. It seems our era has ended, and new faces have emerged. Is, you have grown up now too."

"You should leave the Bone lineage. I will speak with the Dark Wizard and tell him that you should start your own lineage and usher in your own era and your own future."

The Bone Wizard walked ahead, his hands behind his back, his spine still straight, but his hair was dry and yellow.

The Wizard of Yi Si stared blankly at the back of the Wizard of White Bone, then quickly walked up to him and said, "Teacher, this illness is nothing serious. I can support the White Bone lineage. Let Shoggoth go and talk to the Wizard of Darkness about opening the meridians. Anyway, he also has this idea and this opportunity, and the conditions for opening the meridians are met."

The Bone Wizard remained silent. He knew that he could find the Dark Wizard on his own, and neither Is nor Shoggoth would be able to successfully open his meridians.

Of course, leaving the White Bone Clan is also an option.

As the two walked, they suddenly stopped. The atmosphere became tense, and Wizard Yi Si's face turned extremely ugly, his fists clenched.

Just as he was about to turn around and make a move, the White Bone Wizard pressed his hand on his shoulder.

"No need, let him be. Everyone has their own thoughts and choices. This choice is a good thing for him, and it might even be a good thing for the White Bone Clan."

The Bone Wizard looked up at the sky, where clouds gathered into different shapes and birds circled and flew through them. He said softly, "Clouds and winds gather and disperse, and people gather and disperse. Dispersal does not mean they will not gather again."

"Although I am an old man, my bones are still very strong, and I have never had to bend over or kneel."

The Bone Wizard turned and looked seriously at the Wizard of Is. "Why don't you go and meet with the Nightmare Wizard tomorrow and have a chat? I've already given you advance notice."

"The foundation of a formal wizard needs to be built up, and this process includes discussions with wizards of the same or higher levels."

After a moment of silence, Wizard Yi Si replied, "I understand, Teacher White Bone."

The two entered the towering Bone Tower together. Just now, they had both received information from the Wizard's Mark that Shoggoth had left the Bone lineage and started a new one.

On the island in the center of the Stomach Sea, as spatial fluctuations occurred, a figure gradually materialized from nothingness. Wearing a black robe and a gray metal mask, the black and white raven on its shoulder immediately flapped its wings and flew into the sky, warning everything around it.

"So this is the Sea Dragon Secret Realm. It is so full of vitality and extraordinary nature. No wonder it is impossible to invade reality through the dream world and enter the interior of the Sea Dragon Secret Realm."

"The first generation of Sea Dragon Wizards had a grand vision, borrowing the power of the entire Sea Ancestor Dragon's body and the naturally formed ecological balance system on the seabed. Not only is the Sea Dragon Secret Realm protected by the Sea Ancestor Dragon's body, but the many seabed life forms that depend on the Sea Ancestor Dragon's body for growth and survival in the ecological balance also form a layer of defense."

Based on the information available, Wang Ya came to this conclusion.

Its pupils shimmered with a white, pulsating light; the Eye of Truth gathered all the information about the Sea Dragon's Secret Realm.

Emily stood outside the wizard's teleportation array with a smile on her face.

"I don't think the Sea Dragon Secret Realm will disappoint you. The main body might contain new primordial herbs and fragments of the world's core, who knows?"
