Wizard's Journey

Chapter 592 Wizarding Conference

The magical lights flickered, their brightness and darkness creating an air of mystery.

This was not due to the magical lights in the spacious hall. There were dozens of high-intensity magical lights in all directions, but the light was obscured by the elemental turbulence and mist inadvertently stirred up by the more than a thousand wizards gathered in the hall.

"Is this the new Master Green?"

On the other side of the Grimm's Elemental Chair, a witch with a nimble gray squirrel perched on her shoulder asked Izema with a hint of reverence. Her large, double-lidded eyes sparkled, and her slightly chubby, smooth face had two small dimples on either side, making her smile sweet.

The little squirrel jumped onto Green's shoulder and handed the large pine cone it was holding in its two little paws to Hachi. Hachi, who looked arrogant and disdainful, casually took a couple of bites, and its eyes lit up immediately.

Izema said to the witch, "That's right, this is Dean Peranos's prized disciple, Wizard Grin, who is the one who killed that second-level wizard who was skilled in dark elemental concealment at the academy a few days ago. He is a current seventh-ring Holy Tower Demon Hunter Wizard."

"A seventh-ringed Holy Tower demon hunter wizard?"

After showing a slight look of surprise, the level two witch smiled and said, "My name is Ni Lian. One hundred and fifty years ago, I was invited by Dean Wu Tong to join the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy, where I served as an instructor for the basic education of elemental knowledge for wizard apprentices. I heard that Dean Peranos has arranged for you to be assigned to the department of elemental knowledge education. It seems that we will be cooperating with each other for the next few decades."

Beneath the surface of truth, Grimm's wise eyes observed the witch. After the witch's body trembled as if she had been pierced, Grimm withdrew his gaze.

"I suppose Master Ni Lian is the wizard from the academy that Senior Brother Izema mentioned earlier, the one who is skilled at concealment. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Green nodded politely and spoke with a smile.

Ni Lian, with an air of curiosity and provocation, said, "It seems that Master's perception and concealment abilities have reached a considerably high level, so..."

Before Ni Lian could finish speaking, Green suddenly shook his shoulders and said, "Master Ni Lian, if you keep sitting on my shoulders like this, that strange wizard over there might come over soon."

It turns out that this sorcerer Ni Lian is actually a sorcerer skilled in transformation magic. The little squirrel on Green's shoulder is her true form, while the sorcerer sitting on the Elemental Chair is her soulmate.

"Huh?"

Little Ba, standing next to the squirrel, froze for a moment, watching as the little squirrel slowly transformed into the image of a shrunken witch, holding a pine nut.

The unfamiliar wizard that Green mentioned was also a second-level wizard, male, and should be Ni Lian's lover and husband. Ever since Ni Lian, who had transformed into a squirrel, jumped onto Green's shoulder, the wizard had inadvertently glanced at her eleven times.

"Master Grimm has such powerful perception and insight. It seems that the three hidden wizards of the Shadow Thousand Eyes Wizard Academy will have to rely on Master Grimm in this academy war."

Just as she finished speaking, Ni Lian suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, "By the way, there are now two hidden wizards, and one of them has already been dealt with by the master."

Green had already heard from his mentor Peranos about the three secret wizards of the Shadow Thousand Eyes Wizarding Academy. This was a high-level intelligence that the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizarding Academy had obtained after the two academies officially went into battle. The Nine-Headed Wrath Wizarding Academy had been stationed and lurking with the three secret wizards of the Shadow Thousand Eyes Wizarding Academy for many years!

These three wizards all possess extremely high levels of knowledge in hidden witchcraft. Two are level two wizards and one is a level three archmage. They have a history of following and assassinating wizard apprentices and low-level wizards who leave the academy to carry out missions, causing widespread panic within the academy!

Just thinking about the fact that three hostile wizards were lurking within the academy and could attack from behind at any moment sent chills down the spines of some low-level wizards and wizard apprentices who had left the academy on missions.

There is still a year until the next ten-year cycle of wizard apprentice recruitment, and the academy tutor position assigned to Green by Peranos is only a nominal one.

The second hidden objective was to have Green find the other two hidden wizards!

A year later, Shadow Thousand Eyes will surely launch an attack on Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy during the period when the Holy Tower recruits wizard apprentices every ten years. This will force the academy to concentrate most of its wizarding power to protect the source of magic. As a result, if the academy does not want to give up recruiting fresh blood, it will inevitably have to send a small number of wizards to raid some cities under the control of Shadow Thousand Eyes Wizard Academy.

The last academy war showed that if the hidden wizards of the opposing side hidden in the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizarding Academy are not eliminated, the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizarding Academy will probably still not be able to absorb any new wizarding apprentices this time.

Therefore, the mission that Green accepted was of great significance. It was the opportunity for the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizard Academy to turn a hopeless situation into one where they could sustain a stalemate and wait for victory.

……

On the central circular platform, more than twenty level-three great wizards sat, looking down at the lower-level wizards below.

"Accurate intelligence has been gathered. During the next round of wizard apprentice recruitment at Shadow Thousand Eyes Wizarding Academy a year from now, they will launch a second full-scale attack on the academy's wizard tower, forcing the academy's wizards to fight against them head-on. As a result, it will be difficult to recruit fresh wizard apprentices this year."

Uncle Dadalon's face had aged considerably, and his once flowing black hair now showed signs of withering.

Did he suffer some kind of trauma?

Or is the life of a formal wizard coming to an end?

I remember my mentor Peranos once mentioned that my second uncle, Daddaron, was already seven or eight thousand years old, which is considered a long life for a normal wizard.

Although theoretically all formal wizards can live for ten thousand years, in reality, whether it is a failed attempt to advance or certain injuries, it will affect the lifespan of a wizard. Only a very small number of wizards can live to the end of their ten thousand-year lifespan.

Following D'Artagnan, Peranos continued, "Time is on our side! The academy has only existed for a few hundred years, while the Shadow Thousand-Eyed Wizard Academy has a history of ten thousand years. If we can weather this most difficult moment, we will successfully attract the attention of those forces that have not yet committed, and the scales of victory will gradually tip in our favor!"

Immediately afterwards, Peranos let out a cold laugh.

"After all, all we need is peaceful development. Ending the war would be a victory for the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizarding Academy, and that's the mainstream rule in the wizarding world. Their victory, however, is an attempt to completely defeat us; their chances of winning are a hundred times greater than ours!"

"Seven hundred and twelve guardians of the Twin-Headed Serpent Academy died in the last battle, leaving two thousand two hundred and two hundred and two hundred and twenty-one juveniles. The Wizard Tower still has seven hundred and eighty-four worker-ant level mechanical golems and soldier-ant level..."

Wu Tong and the other deans of the academies began to speak in turn, outlining the academy's war preparations.
