Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 354 [354] A Conspiracy Emerges, a Dark Killing Intent

"Nightmare Wizard, are you sure you want to close yourself off from the path of wizardry? The Underdark is at a critical juncture right now, and formal wizards are needed to guard and handle various situations. This is quite unexpected."

The Dark Wizard sat in his chair, put down his quill, and looked somewhat solemn.

Looking at the black-robed figure in front of him, who was barely visible, the metal mask on his face had long been removed, revealing a white-haired, handsome face with deep eyes, those black eyes seemed to contain the mystery of the starry sky.

"The war is over, and there are no major conflicts in the Underdark. Even if some remnants of the wizarding forces still exist, it would be a good thing if they really came out."

A faint smile appeared on Wang Ya's lips. "I've also taken care of some trivial matters concerning the Illusionary Dream lineage. The rest can be handled by the people below."

"Dark Wizard, have you forgotten that I am still in the early stages of becoming a formal wizard? The accumulation of knowledge is very important. Fortunately, due to the victory in the Dark Land, I have gained a lot of extraordinary knowledge, and I have already made some gains."

The Dark Wizard frowned slightly, looked at Wang Ya seriously, and said softly, "Does the Nightmare Wizard really intend to go into seclusion? At this opportune moment, every formal wizard is eager to make their move, and many have already obtained what they wanted."

"Only the Nightmare Wizard hasn't expressed any opinion to me yet." The Dark Wizard suddenly laughed. "I'm really curious, Nightmare Wizard, what do you want? After such illustrious achievements, it seems the Dark Lands don't have much left to give you."

"However, I can make the decision. Nightmare Wizard can waive all exchange fees and directly access all the extraordinary knowledge of the Dark Land. All the remaining inherited knowledge of the Netherworld Wizard, including the resources available in the Dark Land, and various permissions can be granted to you, Nightmare Wizard."

"Even a thousand years from now, when the Darklands are controlled by the Nightmare Wizards, I will relinquish the position of highest authority and decision-maker. There will be no problem for the Dreamline to replace the Darkline as the main decision-making lineage."

"Even the current members of the Dreamline wizarding clan can enjoy some special privileges and resource allocation rights possessed by the Dark Decision lineage."

Wang Ya's expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank.

The things of the Dark Wizard are not easy to obtain. The more you give, the greater the price you will have to pay and the more you will have to give in terms of other aspects.

These things no longer held much appeal for him.

"However, the Nightmare Wizard needs to sign a wizard contract with me." The Dark Wizard stared intently at Wang Ya, and the parchment scroll had already appeared on the table, which he pushed over. "The contents of the contract are my above-mentioned promise: a thousand years from now, you will be the Lord of Darkness."

"I really have high hopes for you, Nightmare Wizard. You are the person with the highest potential and talent I have ever seen. Even Polaris can't compare to you. Your luck is also unparalleled."

"A thousand years from now, the Dark Lands under your leadership may burst forth with new vitality, and it might even enter the Inner Enclosure and develop even better."

He refused.

"Um!"

The sorcerer stood on the balcony, watching the maple leaves flutter and dance around the headquarters. His expression was grim and somber.

There seemed to be a person standing in the shadows behind me, speaking, "He seems to have sensed something, perhaps he's connected it to you."

The Dark Wizard remained silent, staring blankly out the window.

"That's quite normal, isn't it? The Dark Wizards have been hiding in the headquarters for so long, and many things have happened during that time. How could the Dark Wizards not know how many headquarters wizards have died or been injured? I'm afraid the official wizards of the Dark Lands have already reacted."

"After all, the fervor brought by profit has faded with the passage of time, and everyone has calmed down now." The figure emerged from the darkness, with a very young face, wearing the insignia of the Dark faction's robes, and said with a light laugh, "No formal wizard is foolish, and as for the second-level Star Wizard, she is even more formidable. She has probably already guessed it and figured it out."

"You can try mentioning her again, and I might just kill you." The dark wizard turned and glanced at the young wizard.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned the Ghost Light Wizard. I'm still waiting for you to help me break the seal. Right now, it's just a bit of my consciousness residing in this weak body. It's really uncomfortable."

The water and fire wizard, Ace, wore a somewhat displeased expression.

"You've obtained what you wanted; it's time to fulfill the terms of the contract." Ace lacked the vigor a young wizard should possess, instead exuding a decaying and weathered aura, his eyes fixed intently on the ancient book in the dark wizard's hands.

It is the "Indigo Book".

However, a significant portion of the book's pages can be opened, roughly one-third of the entire volume.

The remaining two-thirds were stuck together, with a large number of fine blue lines painted vertically, which upon closer inspection were tiny wizard runes at the microscopic level.

Each wizard rune contains amazing mysteries, and they are very difficult to observe.

"I won't go back on my word, provided that you can take over this body and appear in the outside world after I complete the final step. That would be the greatest support I can give you."

The Dark Wizard sneered, "Trust is mutual, but I'm not comfortable with the price of trusting you. It's not too late to do it after we've completed that step."

"I hope so. Anyway, this body can barely hold my consciousness and can't unleash the power of a level two wizard. At best, it can only bluff people with its aura." Ace suddenly chuckled. "But don't let anyone know. Once you've done something, it will eventually be exposed."

"Regarding the Dream Wizard, it's very likely that guy has already uncovered some clues. I personally witnessed what he did in the Dream Garden."

"What good luck to have obtained the Time Mark. If you had a few more Time Marks, you might have been completely exposed."

The dark wizard frowned, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"If you ask me, since you've gone this far, you might as well kill him too, and be done with it. That way you won't have to worry about so many things. You've already started, so you're not afraid of the next one," Ace said with a smile. "Once things are fully exposed, you and he will still have irreconcilable conflicts, even to the point of fighting to the death."

"There are quite a few supporters of Lord Nightmare Wizard. Does our Dark Wizard want the Dark Lands, which have just stabilized, to descend into chaos again?"

"Get out of here." The Dark Wizard sneered, and with a light wave of his right hand, Ace's figure was struck by an invisible force and merged into the darkness, seemingly crashing into a wall and suffering serious injuries.

"Alright, alright, I won't bother you any longer, Dark Wizard."

Ace wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a faint smile still on his face. But as he pushed open the door to leave the room, the smile on his face gradually became eerie.

The Dark Wizard stood by the window, his hands behind his back, the 'Deep Blue Book' in his hands now hidden. He gazed out the window, watching the maple leaves sway and the landscape of the entire Dark Land, his figure moving back and forth.

"I won't let that happen, but I won't kill him either."

"It's not a good thing for the eyes of the Underdark to see too much."

A cold glint appeared in the dark wizard's eyes.
