Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1943 Embarking on a Journey

"Wandering the world? You two are so enviable!"

In the wizarding world, the fiery clouds at dusk resembled a veil of silk blushing on Shaolu's cheeks, stretching out in a continuous expanse, illuminated by the last rays of the sun.

As the sun sets and the grass sways gently in the breeze, squirrels pour themselves drinks, while Green, Millie, and Mina sit together.

When Mina heard that Grimm was going to take her sister on a journey through the endless world, she first exclaimed in surprise, her face full of longing, but then she said with disappointment, "The outside world must be more beautiful than the wizarding world, right?"

The renowned Guardian of Summer in the Wizarding World actually said such a thing?

However, in a way, isn't Mina, the current guardian of summer, another World Tree?

He achieved something that was difficult for ordinary people to reach at a much earlier time than Green, but the price was that he lost his freedom and his unlimited potential. He was confined to a small world, busy with the reproduction and survival of the lower creatures in the world, and gradually became in line with the will of the rules.

Hearing Mina's question with such wonder, Green adopted a serious expression and pondered for a moment before saying, "In another world, there's a story about a large army that besieged a city. To conquer it, the army fought continuously for a long time. Those outside wanted to get in, but the situation inside was completely different. The city, besieged for so long, was extremely poor in resources, and the starving people were desperately trying to escape. Those inside wanted to get out, and those outside wanted to get in—all because of the rules of the walls. What an interesting phenomenon!"

Seemingly realizing his analogy wasn't quite right, Green continued, "In the current wizarding world, the average lifespan is thousands of years. But before the rules of the Wizarding Ancestors, in the era when wizarding academies created greenhouse environments to nurture ordinary humans, people's lifespans were only a few decades, as fleeting as ants floating in the summer sun. Young people constantly strive for money, believing that with money they have everything. But when they grow old, they suddenly realize that compared to the honor passed down through generations, the emotions that bind their clan, what does money amount to?"

"Haha, our Master Green has truly seen the light!"

Mina scoffed, then continued, "But you should know that you are not only the Wizard King who debuted in the Wizarding World, but also the ultimate guardian of day and night in the Wizarding World. It seems that all these years, you have only remembered your identity as the Wizard King and have long forgotten your identity as the ultimate guardian of day and night."

"How could I forget? If I really forgot, I wouldn't have used the will of the day and night rules to leave a reflection within the Heart of the World, just in case. Besides, even when I, the final guardian, was in the Wizarding World, didn't the guardians of the Wizarding World consult the Winter Guardian on matters big and small?"

Having said this, the azure light perched on his shoulder, shaped like a child's drawing, looked at Millie. Their eyes met, and feeling Millie's chilling aura, he calmly said, "Would you be willing to break free from the shackles of these rules, missions, and power struggles, and roam freely in the endless world, experiencing the true joy of exploring the mysteries of truth?"

The Frost Rule transformed into a projection of an Ice Crystal Phoenix, swirling around Millie. Seemingly due to Hachi's influence, she had been in a daze ever since meeting Green, glancing at Hachi on Green's shoulder from time to time, seemingly extremely worried about it.

That's why Green didn't ask Millie anything about Hachi, because he knew that Millie would tell him when the time was right.

I suppose that once I understand, it will be the day when the true secrets left behind by Antonio are revealed!

What exactly did that cunning old wizard who manipulated Hachi leave behind in the wizarding world? What secret does Hachi carry?

However, at this moment, Millie gazed deeply into Green's eyes as he asked her this question. The seriousness in Green's gaze left Millie no room for argument. While Green was often tolerant in small matters when interacting with his companions, he was decisive and autocratic in matters of strategy, brooking no dissent.

Since Millie has been able to wait for Green for so many years, she must know him very well. And since Green has already said those words to the second Wizard King, it means that he has made up his mind and has long-term plans.

call……

The icy wind from the Illusion of the Ice Phoenix lifted Millis's hair and white clothes. On her snow-white, smooth face, Millis's expression changed from solemn and stiff to relaxed and softened, like a flower blooming after the winter snow melts. Millis seemed to understand what Green was thinking and chose to suppress her troubles for the time being, with a joyful and excited expression, her eyes like crescent moons.

"Of course. I am truly alive when you are here."

Millie actually uttered such sweet words; if Little Eight hadn't had that accident, he probably would have been whistling and chattering on Green's shoulder long ago.

Having prepared himself mentally before coming, Green had completely buried the matter of Xiao Ba in his heart. At this moment, he seemed as if nothing had happened, and a charming smile appeared on his lips. He raised his wine glass with one hand, gesturing for Millie, who was sitting opposite him, to drink together.

The little squirrels nearby were overjoyed to see this, and they formed a circle, singing and dancing, just like the beautiful scene depicted in a fairy tale.

As their arms gradually wrapped around each other, although they were not formally married, this intimate gesture seemed to indicate something. They tilted their heads back and swallowed the wine in their glasses.

"Tch, showing off their love in front of me..."

Mina glanced at the distant sky, where a flock of geese flew in a V-formation under the last rays of the setting sun, seemingly lost in thought.

……

three days later.

"tutor?"

Lilith, Grimm's fourth disciple, has grown into a Saint Mark Wizard. Her unique talent for crafting magical artifacts has made her quite successful in the wizarding world. The wisdom and erosion of time over the years have left crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. When she saw Grimm suddenly appear in front of her, she was surprised but then smiled and quickly walked over.

Grimm appeared suddenly in Lilith's laboratory by opening a portal, accompanied by Millie, who was with him, and they appeared hand in hand.

Compared to the meticulous organization of every laboratory in Green's lab, Lilith's lab was a complete mess. Various experimental instruments were scattered haphazardly, and there was a constant gurgling sound. Green glanced to the side and saw a glass of emerald green reagent in a state of distillation, which was very unstable and had no protective restrictions. This scene made the perfectionist Green frown slightly, feeling quite uncomfortable.

"Mentor, what brings you here so suddenly?"

"I'm overjoyed," Lilith asked, showing no surprise at the way Green's azure light shone through his spiritual energy and physique.

"Lilith, from now on, this will be your teacher, Mrs. Millie."

After introducing Millie to Lilith, Green noticed Millie's happiness and contentment, and even unconsciously tightened the grip on her right hand. He then said, "You should know that I have now truly relinquished my position as the Wizard King and resolved to retire and explore the profound truths of the endless world, right?"

"Mrs. Millie!?"

After bowing gracefully, Lilith couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that our mentor plans to attempt to advance to the ninth level of True Spirit Wizard, breaking free from the constraints of endless dimensions and existing as a higher-dimensional life form?"

Legend has it that beings who advance to the ninth level will be rejected by the endless dimensions of the world and can only stay in the endless world for the time it takes to circumnavigate an hourglass. When Lilith sees Grimm now, she naturally wants to ask him questions, fearing that she may never see her mentor again.

"Heh heh, of course it's fake. A level nine life form? I reached that level many years ago."

Grimm's answer left Lilith speechless. Grimm didn't bother to explain further. With one hand, he opened a rift in the Forgotten World. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, accompanied by a stench and a faint aura, in the hazy space, sweaty little hands reached out and handed a scroll to Lilith.

"You are the last disciple I accepted, and your path to exploring the mysteries of truth is the most shallow. Therefore, after I leave this world, you are the one I worry about the most. This is a secret treasure that I left in the Forgotten World. I hope it will be helpful to your future journey of exploring the mysteries of truth."

Lilith, oblivious, unrolled the treasure map scroll. Inside, she found precise and detailed spatiotemporal coordinates marked one after another, from the shallowest to the deepest, all the way to the Forgotten World.

This is clearly a secret left by my mentor for me to explore the mysteries of the virtual world!

Crackling sounds!

When Lilith looked up at her mentor again, she saw a mix of light and darkness. The Path of Annihilation was activated, the power of spacetime spread out, and waves of restless will swirled in the air. "Crack," "Smash," "Crackling"—almost all the glassware in the laboratory shattered at the same time.

"tutor!?"

The laboratory was completely empty; apart from Lilith, there was no one else there. No one knew the last trace of the first Wizarding King in the wizarding world.
