Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 54 [54] The Tower's Conspiracy Judged

Towering structures rose from the ground, radiating astonishing particle energy fluctuations. Traces of the formation of the witch array were scattered throughout the surrounding void, and anyone who dared to trespass would suffer a fatal attack.

The distance between them is incredibly vast, and the environment surrounding the tower is a diverse array of landscapes, including mountains, dense forests, deserts, and swamps, all meticulously arranged and crafted by wizards to create resource-rich areas.

These are all wizard towers. Each tower occupies a specific location, and the vast areas they form together constitute the territory of the Underdark headquarters. Only formal wizards can own wizard towers; they are also the decision-makers of the Underdark.

At the center stands the largest, a magnificent, dark tower that occupies the core area, a third larger and taller than the other towers.

The tower is entirely white, and the surrounding environment is extremely desolate. The vegetation on the mountain has lost its green color, leaving only withered yellow. Many trees and even the ground are filled with the grim skeletons of living things.

Two figures walked on the road paved with crushed bones, both dressed in wizard robes. The black-haired young wizard walking in front clearly took the lead.

"Chief Shoggoth, Wizard Is has sent word back that the matter at Ancient Forest Mountain has been resolved properly, but the attack went a bit too far, wiping out both wizard families without leaving a single survivor." The wizard in the back was around fifty years old, but looked rather old.

Wizard Shoggoth laughed heartily, "Little Is is so amazing, she didn't leave a single survivor. She's quite capable."

"Master, now some people in the Underdark are trying to make trouble out of nothing. Even those two wizarding families, and the wizards studying at the wizarding academy, are probably going to go crazy. If this gets out of hand, Wizard Is won't be in the right." Wizard Denor looked helpless.

"Relax, relax, it's not a big problem. On the contrary, I think Little Is did a great job. Her strength has definitely increased again, and she has shown the might of our White Bone lineage." Wizard Shoggoth's smile remained unchanged. "If those guys want to go crazy, then let them go crazy with us. It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles in the Battlefield."

"Master, the power of the school of thought and the wizarding families has finally reached a balance, and the many wizards above do not want to break that balance."

"Deno, why are you nagging like an old man? It's driving me crazy. Smile more." Wizard Shoggoth revealed his clean, white teeth and raised a bright smile. "The balance isn't so easily broken. The wizarding families should be the ones who are afraid."

"Besides, they only wiped out two small wizard families. They don't have much influence in the Underdark. At most, they have a few apprentices in the wizarding academy. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Don't talk to me about sharing a common hatred or being prepared for danger in times of peace. Given the character of wizarding families, I might believe it a little more if you're talking about getting revenge or saving face that has been suppressed."

Wizard Shoggoth said with a smile, "What's face worth? Anyway, it's not those beneficial wizard families who are dying. Believe me, among the three great wizard families of the Ancient Forest, the Anton family wouldn't dare utter a single word."

"I look forward to little Issy bringing me more joy."

A dark line appeared on the forehead of the wizard Denuo, and his face showed a bitter expression. The chief was still taking things for granted; the three major families were allied, and no matter what, the Anton family would definitely make a move.

"This is outrageous! Even if the rules were broken, it doesn't justify leaving no one alive. We must respond to this; it concerns the reputation of our wizarding family."

Through the Dark Wizard Mark, wizards who exchange information can enter virtual spaces such as consciousness projections via the core of Dark Technology. It was in this mysterious virtual conference room that a figure shrouded in darkness uttered a disgruntled rebuke.

The seating arrangement was divided into two levels, with only five seats on the top level, which was currently empty. The lower level had more seats, and almost everyone had come to discuss the recent events at Gulin Mountain.

A commotion broke out, and everyone was unsure of what to do, making the meeting room increasingly noisy.

A deep voice forcefully suppressed the other voices, saying impatiently, "What's the use of all this arguing? Everyone talks a good game, but no one wants to take the lead and demand an explanation. Since no one wants to be the first to stick their neck out and get involved in this unnecessary trouble, then let the people involved handle it themselves."

The person who spoke, shrouded in darkness, looked toward the location with the ferocious sea beast pattern. "Wizard Kaze, I'm leaving this matter to you. Is that alright?"

The noise stopped, and all eyes fell on that figure.

"This is something the Anton family should be responsible for. As a member of a wizarding family, I strongly condemn this kind of despicable behavior by the school." Kaze Anton cursed inwardly, but his expression remained very decisive.

Although the Anton family gained an opportunity, they were still considerably weaker than these established wizarding families. Sometimes, when things come to you, you have no choice but to do it, even if you have to grit your teeth.

They also need to make a statement, convey their thoughts, and warn the school of thought. If the other side continues to escalate its actions, then they should continue to issue warnings.

Kazeantun thought of the Bailin and Purple Blossom families, some wizards who still existed in the Underdark. It was reasonable and right for the victims to speak out for themselves.

If we could cause some trouble for the wizards of the White Bone lineage, that would be even better.

"Not bad, then I'll leave this matter to Wizard Kaze."

The other figures offered praise and affirmation, saying a few kind words before quickly logging off and their consciousness projections disappearing from the spot.

Kazeantun was the last to leave, and he couldn't help but spit. A bunch of cunning old bastards.

The beach was hot, and the waves were crashing against the sand.

A group of bikini-clad beauties, their faces glistening with alluring smiles and sunscreen on their hands, approached Wang Ya step by step. Their eyes, sharp and menacing, were fixed on him.

The latter was expressionless, but after consuming the Nightmare Flower, he experienced various deep-seated fears. Could this nightmare, truly his fear, be considered a manifestation of his mental will, a kind of nightmare?

The next moment, everything in front of him transformed into a boundless, pitch-black sea, undulating and churning with towering waves and howling winds. It was the same massive storm that Wang Ya had witnessed and experienced on the wizard's ship.

His face was pale, too pale and weak, and there was an indescribable sense of terrifying oppression. He subconsciously closed his eyes.

The morning sunlight tried to squeeze through the narrow crack in the window. The black-haired boy with a beauty mark pulled it open, leaned against the window, and gasped for breath, relieving his nausea and vomiting.

A smile then appeared on her fair face.

Nightmare Flower! The test of willpower has been successfully completed.

He bore the price of enhancing his mental strength.
