Wizard's Journey

Chapter 287 Kapilavastu

The 79th floor of the Black Tower.

Standing before his mentor, Peranos, who had just opened the door, Green lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Mentor, I need your help."

help?

"Um... Green, come in first."

Peranos was stunned for a moment before inviting Green into the room. In the hall, his teacher's wife, Alice, was holding Gahe and grooming his fur.

"Yes, Green is back. Please have a seat." Mrs. Alice greeted Green and kindly gestured for him to sit on the sofa.

Green forced a smile, nodded to Mrs. Alice, and respectfully sat down on the sofa opposite her.

Gahei nestled in Alice's arms, lazily stretched, and asked, "Grin, what happened? Weren't you going to see your little sweetheart? Why did you rush back so quickly?"

Peranos creaked as he sat down on the sofa next to Alice, then looked at Grin with a serious expression and asked, "Speak, Grin, what's going on? Is there anything I can help you with? Don't be shy."

Peranos knew that Green was an orthodox dark wizard with a strong sense of independence, and would never normally ask for help like this.

Slightly out of breath, having overexerted his magic power by traveling at full speed, he was now resting and recovering as wisps of elemental power gathered around him from all directions.

That's why Gahe noticed Green's hurried and tired appearance.

He pursed his slightly dry lips and said, word by word, "My wife, Raffi, has been infected with a parasite by Hattori Mizo, a fugitive dark wizard wanted by the Seven Rings Holy Tower. I need the Academy to launch a mission to investigate and find Hattori Mizo so that he can remove the parasite from my wife's body."

After a pause, Green continued, "I'm willing to agree to any conditions he sets."

Green did not disclose his bottom line regarding the conditions he could accept.

Peranos's face, contorted with wrinkles like stitched-up balls, shifted slightly as he said, "A deal with a dark wizard? Grin, you'd better think this through!"

"Please help me, my tutor!"

Green lowered his head and pleaded.

Gahei leaped from Alice onto the coffee table, his emerald green eyes fixed on Grin, and said, "Grin, your situation is getting complicated. The Hattori Secret Treasury has attracted the attention of the Seventh Ring Holy Tower, and they've issued a Demon Hunting Mission!"

Demon Hunter's record?

Green remembered that, unlike the Dawn Wisdom Organization, which was formed after the First Civilization War and whose main members were luminary wizards, the Demon Hunter Organization, which was formed after the Second Civilization War in the wizarding world, had its main members as elites among dark wizards.

Dawn Wisdom inherits the ideas from the first war of civilizations in the wizarding world, with self-defense and continuous consolidation and expansion as its main development strategy.

As for their demon-hunting achievements, they have cultivated one after another invading wizards who explore the coordinates of unknown world communities. Among them, the most famous are a large number of astonishing level three shadow wizards within the organization.

Green's senior sister, Youquan, is one of the members of the Demon Hunter team.

Demon hunters are typically assessed by randomly assigning tasks to elite demon hunters of levels one, two, and three. Only those who pass the assessment will officially join this powerful wizarding organization.

Even for Green himself, having received the Medal of Honor Third Class, he was already qualified to undergo the assessment.

Lowering his head, Green said firmly, "No matter how difficult it is, I will do everything in my power to save Raffi's life."

"snort……"

Peranos said coldly and solemnly, "Grin, are you sure you want to break the rules of the Holy Tower and make a deal with a dark wizard on the Wizarding Continent? You won't regret it?"

"Yes."

The eyes beneath Grimm's mask of truth were fearless, and he spoke with unwavering conviction, seemingly unaffected by Peranos.

However, Peranos nodded, his expression gradually softening, staring at the water in the glass on the table, seemingly lost in some distant memory...

After a while, Peranos suddenly looked up and patted Green on the shoulder.

To Grimm's utter astonishment, Peranos sighed, "As your mentor, I must warn you, even stop your current foolish behavior. If this had happened hundreds of years ago, before Hattori Hizoku died, you wouldn't have been able to leave Black Tower. But now…"

After a pause, Peranos felt a mixture of regret and relief.

"However, as a Grand Wizard at the pinnacle of the third level, I must tell you: go forth and explore freely, forge your own path in life."

Green's eyes widened.

At that moment, Green felt as if he could read Peranos's eyes.

Peranos's radiant and warm gaze seemed to be telling Green that he was no longer the shadow living behind Senior Sister Youquan.

At this moment, in Peranos's eyes, Green was already a wizard with unlimited potential and independent will.

"Meow, Green, if one day you try to advance to the Saint Mark Wizard level, the Heart Tribulation shouldn't be a problem. You have good foresight and wisdom."

After scratching himself on the table with his back, Gahei continued, "But after this incident, you'd better prepare to spend hundreds of years in the Seventh Ring Prison. The Holy Tower never takes lightly any trade between demon hunters and dark wizards on the continent."

To make up for his regrets and let Raffi enjoy his last ten years or so, he gave up Green's own hundreds of years.

From the dark wizard's cold-blooded wisdom, this was undoubtedly an incredibly foolish decision.

Even Green, who was already full of conviction, couldn't help but hesitate slightly when the time came.

This was an indescribably painful choice, an unbearable torment.

Forward-thinking wisdom?

After Green was promoted to a formal wizard, he had not even fully adapted to the vision that this level of life should have, so how could he have any forward-looking wisdom?

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

A full quarter of an hour later, Green raised his head, his voice filled with pain yet unwavering resolve, and said, "Yes, I have made my decision. This is a choice made by the will of my life!"

The moment he said those words, Green felt a sense of relief wash over him.

This feeling is like the struggle between the will of countless cells in the body and the emotions of the soul.

The cold, ruthless will of cellular evolution is naturally based on the self.

If Green were to be imprisoned for this "foolish" decision, it would inevitably affect the life evolution of these cells, which is why they are resisting and releasing all sorts of life instincts and emotions.

However, Green's inner feelings told him that this decision was a manifestation of the value of his own life.

If a life constantly chooses the optimal path and abandons its own emotions, then it no longer has its own so-called destiny; it is merely an insignificant cog in the endless workings of the world.

Fate is an infinitely unknown possibility amidst uncertainties.

This is a supreme rule that manipulates the rules!

"Haha! Good! Green, perhaps your soul doesn't belong to the Dark Wizard, but rather to the Light Wizard. One day in the future, you will definitely have more opportunities to surpass me and your senior sister Youquan, and reach the higher life level of the Saintly Mark Wizard!"

Peranos burst into laughter, and even looked at Green with a hint of relief in his eyes.

At this moment, although Green was already at the same level of life as Peranos, he could not understand the meaning of what Peranos was saying.

After all, Green had only taken a half-step into becoming a formal wizard, while Peranos had reached the pinnacle of formal wizardhood, attempting to glimpse the level of a Saint Mark wizard.

"Green, come on, I'll take you downstairs to find that old woman. We must make her share the information about Hattori's secret stash with you. These past few days, she's gathered quite a bit of intelligence through the academy for her disciple, Gabila."

After a while.

Boom, boom, boom.

On the seventy-eighth floor of the Black Tower, Peranos, accompanied by Grin, knocked on the door and waited quietly.

squeak...

The wooden door opened, revealing a face that resembled that of a newborn baby. The female dean looked at Peranos, then looked at Green with some surprise.

"Green?"

After Green won first place in the Holy Tower Competition, the Dean saw Green at the candlelight banquet and naturally had some impression of his aura.

"master."

Green followed the wizarding etiquette and, at the headmistress's prompting, followed Peranos into the headmistress's room.

Ok?

This person...

Naturally, Green and the black-robed wizard on the sofa in the room were drawn to each other, staring intently at one another, seemingly sensing the fluctuations of the other's Demon Hunter Badge and... his extraordinary physique compared to a level one wizard.

Peranos sat on the sofa, pointed at Green, and looked at the female dean, saying, "My disciple Green has no interest in the results of this demon-hunting battle, but he must share the academy's information about Hattori's secret treasure with Gabil to gain experience."

Peranos's words were very cryptic.

The female dean and Gabil exchanged a glance...

After a short while, Gabila, who had been whispering with the female dean, chuckled and looked at Green with confidence and arrogance.

Grimm wore a loose grey wizard's robe and a greyish-white Mask of Truth, and didn't look particularly unusual.

"Since you are a promising junior in the academy, and Master Peranos said that you have no intention of competing for the Demon Hunter quota, then we are not in competition. Follow me in a few days."

Immediately afterwards, Gabila suddenly activated his Wizard's Gauntlet, revealing two Level 3 Demon Hunter Honor Badges.

This is a display of strength, and also a kind of demonstration.

Green lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Okay."
