Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 91 [91] The Metamorphosis of Truth: Wang Ya is a School Infiltrator

Kazeantun was certainly not the host of the meeting; he was even ranked towards the back among the listeners.

The five empty slots at the top are for families that have produced formal wizards, whose status has reached another level, and who no longer need to attend wizard family meetings.

The number of formal wizards who own wizard towers is not very large.

The Dragon Wizard is one, as are the Rhine Wizard and the Fierce Tiger Wizard.

Of the remaining two official wizards, the 'Blazing Wizard' went to explore the underworld and has not been heard from since.

The Green Ink Wizard is stationed in the 'Dark Night Realm,' one of the five medium-sized secret realms, to prevent the natives within from causing too much unrest.

Wizards who do not build wizard towers tend to prefer a quiet and aloof lifestyle, and their wizard families are very small, quietly pursuing their own research on the path of wizardry.

The Eagle Wizard and the Thorn Wizard possess wizard towers and have established their own extraordinary schools of thought, which are mostly comprised of members of wizard families.

The former is a sorcerer family that rose to power through extraordinary bloodlines and has a close relationship with wizard families, standing on the side of the wizard family alliance.

The Thorn Wizards are somewhat unique; they also stand on their side, resisting the pressure from the school of thought.

No one knows how many powerful, officially recognized wizards exist in the Underdark, and this is the subject of investigation by various wizarding factions.

"The Dark Cultivation Project: The Lord of the Darklands is training a group of powerful wizards for a period of two hundred years." The speaker was tall and thin, wearing a black wizard's robe, with a long and narrow face and a beard. His name was Puni, the patriarch of House Stark.

Among the ten great wizarding families, the Stark family ranks at the top, and also has the largest number of Limitless Wizard Apprentices.

For wizarding families like the Anton, if they only have one or two top-tier wizard apprentices, they can only rank lower.

Abundant resources and opportunities are controlled by the ten great wizarding families, while the other families can only scrape by.

Everyone present looked at Puni, who was in charge of organizing the latest news and this wizard family meeting.

"What was the purpose of those two hundred years? Everyone knows that, so I won't go into details."

"There are a total of thirty-six spots. It has been discussed beforehand. Only three of them will be allocated to new wizards. The top three in the competition in the secret realm will be eligible."

Puni spoke expressionlessly, leaving no one knowing what he was thinking.

Could something unexpected happen among the new students?

Everyone present was surprised. They might not be able to compete with the school of thought in the Upper House, but the Lower House was their home turf.

Especially among the new students, those who receive early training in their families are already no less capable than some wizard students after entering the Dark Wizard Academy.

They should have crushed those commoner newcomers. The top three in the secret realm competition would only be decided within their wizard families.

Recalling Puni's previous words, some heads of wizard families looked somewhat surprised and suspicious.

"That's right, the one who experienced the evil god incident is a new wizard, and he will also participate in the secret realm competition two and a half years later," Puni revealed the truth.

"Are you kidding me? A freshman who just enrolled in the Lower House, able to survive an incident involving an evil god and return safely?"

"Puni, are you sure you're not mistaken? This is an incident involving an evil god! An evil god! Not some kind of supernatural creature wreaking havoc on mortal cities and devouring mortals, or something like that."

"If this is true, how exactly did a new wizard manage to do it? Do they have any specific identity information?"

Inside the meeting room, a lively discussion broke out, threatening to escalate into a noisy argument.

As the heads of various wizarding families, they were quite knowledgeable, but this situation was unheard of and did not conform to their understanding.

Could it be that this new wizard is actually a hidden, powerful wizard with the strength of a level three wizard apprentice?

This evil god is another idiot; he didn't even react when a wizard appeared in his lair.

The evil gods described in ancient texts as terrifying and troublesome cannot be fabricated.

If it's the former, they need to consider whether this new wizard is a spy planted by another wizarding faction.

Ockham Mad, the head of the Mad family, one of the ten great wizarding families, spoke up: "Puni, tell us your thoughts. Don't make us guess. The spot for the Child of Darkness is very important. Losing even one will be a huge loss for the wizarding family."

"A new wizard named Wang Yahalak has some connection with your direct descendants, Monta and Rafe. The evil god incident can be said to be just a coincidence."

Puni shared some relevant information: the target mission, the Mayan Kingdom, the Ancient Forest Camp, and various matters concerning the Bailin Family.

This information can be found with a little investigation.

Puni did not investigate the things that Wang Ya did after replacing Arthur's face.

A hint of surprise flashed in Kazeantun's eyes. Could it be related to the Bailin family? His eyes flickered slightly, clearly indicating that he had thought of something.

Puni continued, "I have reason to suspect that this is actually a backup plan planted by the school among the new wizards, and there may even be more than one, with the aim of targeting those three spots in the Underdark."

"It was only by chance that it was exposed due to the target mission, the evil god incident, and other circumstances."

Puni's words were acknowledged by the wizards present. If it was a backup plan from the school, then its strength was definitely not weak. It was not impossible for it to return safely by using some prepared life-saving measures and trump cards.

Everything then makes sense.

As a backup plan, it was hidden very well, making it impossible for them to discover it.

"Then what should we do? Under the rules, we can't use other means to influence the wizard students. The Secret Realm Competition is being watched by all the formal wizards."

A family head voiced what everyone was thinking.

Puni already had a plan. He said, "In the competition for the secret realm, the use of external objects is not allowed. Magical artifacts and extraordinary potions are all prohibited. We can only rely on ourselves to cope, through witchcraft and wisdom. However, cultivating witchcraft also counts as one way."

"What we can do is to improve the strength of the next generation of our family as much as possible. Learning a breeding magic is not difficult, and having an additional extraordinary breeding creature as an aid will greatly increase our chances of winning."

"We're exploiting a time difference, making the wizards of the school think we haven't discovered this. We'll then crush them with overwhelming power, secure the spot as the Child of Darkness, and the wizards of the school won't have anything to say."

Kazeantun thought to himself, "Just as I thought. The fact that a school of thought can force wizard families to form an alliance shows just how terrifying it is."

The meeting has ended. In the next two and a half years, the new generation of wizarding families will become even more terrifying.

All of this was naturally beyond Wang Ya's knowledge; he was busy making follow-up arrangements for the Harak bloodline cultivation project.

And to master the advanced sorcery knowledge contained in the inherited sorcery books.

Most importantly, the changes brought about by the upgrade of the Eye of Truth surprised and delighted him.

Kaze is an apprentice of the Limit Wizard (the previous chapter has been patched).
