Wizard's Journey

Chapter 591 Passive Situation

"The Metal Destroyer Civilization?"

After the meal, Green naturally asked Senior Sister Youquan about the greatest crisis in the wizarding world: the enemy of the Metal Destroyer, which was bound to occur within thousands of years in the third war of civilization in the wizarding world.

A mission lasting a thousand years is far too long for a formal wizard, but in the history of the wizarding world, it is merely a ripple.

A long silence followed, as if they were lost in memories.

Grimm held his breath. As a first-class honorary medal demon hunter who had attracted the attention of the fundamental will of the wizarding world, even if he had not advanced to the Saint Mark Wizard before the Civilization War, Grimm was still the secret weapon of the abyss summoner in the wizarding world, and his status was far beyond that of an ordinary demon hunter.

Furthermore, since Green had already advanced to the level of a second-level wizard, he was now qualified to pay attention to these historical events.

Taking advantage of Senior Sister Youquan's silence, Green, who finally had the opportunity to get close to her, couldn't help but begin to carefully observe this Senior Sister's... Youquan Baptism Self-Sealing Witchcraft.

The woman's body was wrapped in these white strips of cloth, which still accentuated her graceful figure, but the overwhelming and oppressive aura emanating from her body prevented anyone from having any thoughts of desecration.

Without a doubt, these white bandage strips were the medium for the senior sister's self-sealing witchcraft.

The white cloth bandages resembled a living thing, a feeling somewhat similar to Naraku's black metal chains. Both had a sense of coming to life, blocking external prying into the interior while simultaneously preventing some kind of communication between the inside and outside.

What profound knowledge or secrets lie within this?

And this black giant sword...

During his time as a wizard apprentice, Green only saw the surface – a black flame sword, nothing more. But now, in Green's eyes, this black flame sword represented an undying spiritual will!

An undying spirit, so similar to the will of the Snowworm King.

Just as Green was carefully and keenly observing and pondering, Youquan finally returned to reality from her memories and uttered words that startled Green.

"This is a highly intelligent, alternative life form that feeds on metal. They have no flesh and blood, no soul, no compassion, and no reproductive system."

As he spoke, Youquan clenched his right hand tightly.

"They are nothing but metallic bodies and overwhelming numbers. Their cold rationality analyzes everything, and they tirelessly search for exploitable mineral resources in world after world. This is an extremely terrifying biological race, seemingly a race of highly intelligent mechanical puppet life forms with the ability to regenerate and evolve on their own, but they are completely different from the mechanical puppets in the wizarding world! According to my speculation, these metal destroyers may be the ultimate product of an ancient civilization. The creation of them and their rise to the pinnacle was also the beginning of the destruction of this ancient civilization."

Green narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "You mean, this might be a disaster caused by some highly intelligent ancient civilization, rather than a biological species that has evolved and reproduced on its own in the endless world, similar to highly intelligent unloading puppets that have the ability to create their own kind?"

"I'm afraid so! This is their unique life form! The Seventh Ring True Spirit Wizard, based on clues brought back by the other three returning Saint Mark Wizards and Demon Hunter Wizard elites, has also made a similar conjecture. Perhaps in ancient times, there was indeed a highly intelligent species that, while constantly expanding itself, also triggered a catastrophe that led to their self-destruction..."

…………

Soon, under Peranos's guidance, Green officially joined the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy.

After a brief gathering with Peranos, Grin, and Varo, Youquan went to the Nine-Headed Wrath Secret Realm to exchange some Saint Mark experience with Grandmaster Youming and Grandmaster Nine-Headed Wrath.

"Green, the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy is now in an extremely dangerous situation. The situation is no longer something that one or two formal wizards can change. Even if your senior sister has not yet advanced to the Saint Mark Wizard level, she cannot turn the tide of the battle by herself."

As he hurried toward the conference hall, Peranos briefed his trusted disciple, Green, on the academy's war strategy and overall situation.

Overall, while Nine-Headed Wrath Wizarding Academy can barely preserve the source of magic for its wizard tower, it is powerless to compete with Shadow Thousand-Eyes Wizarding Academy for fresh wizard apprentices outside the academy and is in an extremely dangerous situation of being constantly stifled.

"What are the mentor's plans?"

Green asked for advice.

Mentor Peranos has served as the dean of the academy for thousands of years and has extensive experience in this role. He has considerable experience in handling matters such as managing the academy, regional academy networking, academy competition, and academy wars.

"As far as external forces are concerned, the merchant guilds and families that your Ninth Head Wrath Master Uncle are connected with are far inferior to the Shadow Thousand Eyes Wizard Academy in terms of resources. Moreover, the fundamental purpose of these external wizards is only to cooperate with each other to pursue profits and save the wizard academy from danger. These people will not go all out. Therefore, we can only rely on ourselves."

After a pause, Peranos said in a low voice, "Competing with the Shadow Thousand-Eyed Wizard Academy on a full scale is no longer possible. Therefore, we can only concentrate our efforts on competing with them in specific regions. Regardless of the quality of the students, we must ensure a continuous influx of fresh wizarding apprentices into the academy. We cannot allow the academy to become stagnant, trapped and waiting to die."

"Um."

Green nodded and followed Peranos without stopping, saying in a deep voice, "Before coming here, I infiltrated Mothfrog City to observe. I found that prosperous cities near academies like Mothfrog City all have highly skilled wizard apprentices stationed there. Even if our official wizards briefly seize control of some large cities during the recruitment of wizard apprentices, I'm afraid the academy's wizard apprentices will find it difficult to defeat the other side's wizard apprentices and absorb fresh blood."

With a sigh, Green continued, "Moreover, after more than ten years of their rule, the residents of the city have probably lost their sense of identity with the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy and will not cooperate with us willingly."

"I prepared for this problem thirty years ago, after the last Holy Tower Qualifying Tournament, when the conflict between Shadow Thousand Eyes and the Academy escalated openly. Grin, there are still seventy years until the next Holy Tower Qualifying Tournament. I need you to train a group of mid-level wizard apprentices for the Academy, and if possible, personally teach one of the top wizard apprentices!"

Cry, cry, cry...

The sound of hurried footsteps rose and fell. Green was about to say something more as he followed his mentor, but Peranos turned around and went into the room.

"tutor……"

As soon as Green caught up with his mentor and began to speak, he was met with the gazes of over a thousand wizards in the hall, while the twenty-odd level-three archmages on the high platform turned their heads with varying expressions.

"Green, over here!"

As a second-level wizard, Izema sat at the very front of the thousand-plus wizards and pointed to an elemental chair next to him.
