Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1938 In-Depth Recollection (Part 1)

To be elected as the Wizard King, the first thing needed is prestige.

According to the current standards of the wizarding world, prestige requires the support of no less than one billion formal wizards, three thousand holy-marked wizards, and four true spirit wizards; all three conditions are indispensable.

Lower-level formal wizards have relatively little understanding of true spirit wizards. Although the requirement is one billion, it is nothing compared to the current total number of formal wizards. If a large amount of resources can be used to promote the cause through wizard families and wizard merchants, it is not difficult to obtain one billion votes on the Skynet. This is also the easiest prestige condition to achieve. It can be considered a popularization benefit from higher-level wizards to lower-level wizards.

As for the conditions for the three thousand Holy Mark Wizards' votes, they are much more difficult.

Although the rules of the Ancestor of Grimm Wizards led to a great fusion of wizarding factions in the wizarding world, and the competition and exclusion between different factions was greatly reduced, this only applied to lower-level wizards. However, a considerable amount of residual consciousness remained in the realm of Stigmata Wizards. In addition, Stigmata Wizards have a far greater understanding of True Spirit Wizards than lower-level formal wizards, and their resources are not too scarce. They will not waste their subjective votes for some petty gains. Therefore, whether or not one can obtain the prestige votes of Stigmata Wizards indirectly symbolizes whether a Stigmata Wizard has the strength to run for the next Wizard King.

And this is precisely the goal of Green's second disciple, Hasso, and his third disciple, Andersen.

Finally, the most difficult task is undoubtedly obtaining the votes of at least four True Spirit Wizards to become the Wizard King.

True spirit wizards understand each other very deeply, have great interests, and their thinking and consciousness are bound to be biased. In addition, their ideals and goals are very different. Most importantly, gaining the support of true spirit wizards means that their supporters will give up this election. The stakes are self-evident, and this also affects the number of candidates for the title of Wizard King. Therefore, this is the most difficult part of the prestige conditions for the Wizard King election.

If Green's second disciple, Hodge, still has a sliver of hope in this regard, then without a doubt, Andersen has absolutely no hope.

Outside, all the wizards in the wizarding world were in a frenzy of celebration, cheering for the election of the Wizarding King and rejoicing in the glory of the wizarding world. But inside the heart of the wizarding world, Grimm, whose entire body was radiant with azure light and whose only remaining feature was the last trace of his right little toe, had completely abandoned all his magical artifacts and was waiting alone.

While relinquishing the enhancements of these magical artifacts, Grimm also minimized the influence of the endless world dimension's grid-like primal runes, thus remaining serene within the heart of the wizarding world, guarding the Wizard King's Set of Truth.

In front of Green, the little myna bird, now in the form of a child's drawing, stared blankly, its once lively and mischievous form transformed into a stiff and distorted child's drawing, motionless.

"Hachi?"

After Green infused a wisp of azure light into Hachi's body, he tried to call out to it, but still received no response. This was Green's umpteenth attempt.

Hey……

With a sigh, Green reached out and placed Hachi back on his shoulder.

Xiao Ba's condition is very similar to a high-level curse from an ancient wizard, which seals the self-awareness of a living being deep within its spiritual power, resulting in a vegetative state.

In any living being, consciousness and spiritual power are integrated. Spiritual power is connected to the endless energy and matter of the world and controls the physical body, while consciousness is the essence of the living being, a small segment of choice and judgment grid-shaped primordial runes accumulated on the basis of memory.

If Xiao Ba is truly like that, then the separation of consciousness and mental power is nothing more than a piece of cake for Green. However, the real problem is probably much more difficult than Green imagines.

Because Green didn't even realize that Xiao Ba was aware of it!

Could it be that Hachiko has died for some reason?!

However, through their shared spiritual connection, Green could sense that Hachi was still alive. The biggest problem might stem from Hachi's extraordinary life characteristics, as he was a strange life form created by Antonio. Although Green had done considerable research on Hachi, his deepest understanding was limited to the page of destiny that Antonio left in Hachi's body. To this day, Green still had not truly understood the real meaning of those letters of wisdom left by Antonio.

Involuntarily, Green recalled the scenes of searching for the Page of Destiny inside Hachi's belly deep within the dimensional gap.

At that time, following Antonio's guidance, Green arrived at the deepest part of the dimensional gap, which was inside Little Eight's belly.

The world of ordinary people is formed by the illusion of light and darkness, and I am like a ghost, walking in the world of ordinary people, but unable to make any changes.

As the white-skinned little boy gradually became clearer and more tangible, for some reason, I felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

I really hate him!

"That kind of disgust?"

Grimm murmured to himself as he pondered within the heart of the Wizarding World. He could still recall that feeling of disgust, just like when he first met Little Eight. Back then, the arrogant and foul-mouthed little myna bird had also disgusted him immensely. Although the two had adapted to each other and become more harmonious after constant adjustments, if Grimm had to find a similar feeling, only these two feelings were extremely similar.

"Could there be some secret behind this?"

It must be said that the truth that Green was exploring at this moment was too mysterious and profound, bordering on superstition, similar to philosophy, and had risen to the level of unfounded speculation. The line between madness and genius is very thin.

As Azure Radiance frowned in thought, Green continued to recall the scenes from that time, the secrets Antonio left in Little Eight's stomach that couldn't be expressed directly.

That disgust had no reason; it seemed to be just an instinct. In fact, this disgust had escalated to the level of hatred.

The boy with fair skin, about sixteen or seventeen years old, was not tall, with delicate skin and a pair of eyes that were full of wisdom yet timid. As a wizard who had lived for countless years, Green was able to discern the boy's inferiority complex almost instantly.

Seeing the boy's feelings of inferiority, my disgust and hatred became even more pronounced, to the point where I was about to explode.

At that time, I controlled my emotions by closing and opening my eyes, trying my best not to let them affect me. I simply watched everything calmly from an outsider's perspective, waiting for the clues to the page of fate that Antonio had left here.

Afterwards, I discovered some anomalies.

Everything inside the room, including the view outside, was obscured by a thin veil, making it difficult to see clearly. This room was located on the fourth or fifth floor of the building.

Apart from the little boy, everything—including his clothes and the pen in his hand—was an illusion. You could sense them, but they felt so unreal, like things in a dream. You knew their attributes, their uses, and their functions, but you had no concrete form because you had never actually seen them. They were merely figments of your imagination. In the world of thought, you only needed to know that their existence made your subconscious believe it was reasonable. In other words, it was likely a dream or the influence of someone else's memories.

Only one thing is clear: the piece of paper the little boy had written on halfway through. This means that the paper really existed.

This piece of paper represents the page of destiny!

What does the relationship between the high and low dimensions connected by the Page of Fate represent? Did Antonio entrust the Page of Fate to the illusion inside Hachi's belly, or was there a hidden meaning in it?
