You don't cast spells by the rules at all, do you?

Kate sneered: "Just agree to it, right?"

The other party sneered: "First you take out 500 million.'

All wizards who can reach the second floor of the temple have status and are not afraid of anyone. If you dare to scold me, I will dare to talk back.

Everyone was arguing loudly for a while.

Until there was a "buzz" sound.

The air in the corner of the conference room twisted.

The statue, which had disappeared for several days, suddenly returned without any warning.

Everyone widened their eyes and confirmed again and again that they were not seeing things.

Then, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand, with tears in their eyes and full of emotions, they shouted in unison, "Lord Black! We missed you so much!"

Sean: “?

Wait, who are you?

Chapter 75 Times are changing (Thanks to [inmmo]!)

Sean didn't expect there to be so many people in the conference room, and he was really scared at first sight.

There were banners and people trying to kill him, and they were all unfamiliar faces, which made Sean suddenly alert. Could it be that his identity was exposed?

This is not good news.

Isn't the reason why he chose to hide his identity for safety reasons?

This "safety" does not only refer to Elviri. After all, the girl is his sister-in-law, and they are each other's only relatives known to each other in this life. Even if they had unpleasant quarrels in the past, they were just quarrels at most, and would not really fight or kill each other.

Sean was thinking more about potential enemies.

Although these enemies have not appeared yet, this world is not static and everyone has different ideas. Some people like a person, while others hate him. Some people hope he will be resurrected, while naturally there will be others who hope he will sleep forever.

Moreover, those witch hunters are also wizards, and they must know the name Carl Black.

If the other party found out that he was the "reincarnation" of Carl Black - the enemy's greatest wizard leader, wouldn't they mobilize the entire clan, or even unite with witch hunting families in other states to deal with him?

Put yourself in Sean's shoes. If it were Sean himself, he would definitely do the same.

We should regard the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically.

As long as there is a chance, he will definitely nip the danger in the bud and not give the enemy a chance to develop secretly.

Changing his position back, he now urgently needs to develop secretly.

Otherwise, with his current magical power, let alone reshaping the Era of Erudito and overthrowing the rule of witch hunters, he might not even be able to deal with his own sister-in-law.

On the contrary, it is most likely that he is the one being screwed.

So when Sean saw so many people suddenly appear in the conference room, he was very alert.

Until someone excitedly exclaimed, "The statue is back!"

"Master Black is back!"

Sean relaxed a little.

"The statue is back" means that "the statue disappeared" before. He guessed correctly, he did encounter a "BUG" that caused the virtual space to mistake the statue for a wizard. He exited the virtual space in the statue, and it was not him who actually went offline, but the statue.

Sean looked at everyone's excited and moved faces, and suddenly wanted to try whether he could go back.

Anyway, he can't come out now, and this thing will have to be tried sooner or later, so it's better to do it today than to wait for a better day.

So, under the eyes of a large group of wizards.

Kate was even ready to complain, saying that these guys were ignorant and their noise disturbed Lord Black's rest.

The statue suddenly disappeared again.

It was like there was an uncovered well on the ground, and it disappeared in an instant.

Wizards: “???”

Why did Lord Black run away?

There was an uproar in the conference room.

“Is it because our way of welcoming is wrong?”

"Should we get some professional etiquette ladies here? I remember that Lord Black was very particular about ceremony. Only Sopea could guess what was going on.

Although he could not imagine that there would be bugs in the virtual space - in his eyes, Lord Blake was almost perfect, and the virtual space he created would certainly not have any flaws, but he already knew that Sean was Blake. He had said before that he would tell everyone how to enter the upper levels of the temple, and now he was probably debugging the assessment "program" of the statue.

Out of curiosity, Sopea quietly entered the "looking back" state to see where Lord Black had gone. He promised not to tell anyone, but the result he got secretly shocked him.

Sean was only at the second rank now, while he was at the sixth rank. The gap between them was so big that it could not be crossed even with the use of forbidden spells. However, he did not see any traces left by Sean.

There wasn't even a footprint.

You know, even teleportation magic can be traced in his eyes. The seventh law of mysticism also shows that energy will not disappear, but will only be transferred, so as long as magic power is used, it will definitely leave traces.

But he just couldn't find it.

Even though he opened his eyes as wide as copper bells, he could not find any trace of remaining magic.

I can only say that he is worthy of being called Lord Black.

Even disappearing is so perfect!

Kate on the side snorted coldly and said, "Do you know why Lord Black came and left?"

"Because you have disappointed Lord Black so much."

"They are all high-level wizards above level 4, but they are not mature at all. What's the point of making such a fuss?"

He scolded everyone the same way the teacher scolded him last time.

Adev was quite pleased to hear this.

The reason he accepted Kate as his student was because he was impressed by Kate's ability to learn. She learned things quickly and put them into practice immediately after learning. She was also very flexible in changing her identity and knew what role to play at what time.

Everyone collectively asked a question: "?"

And I asked you to install it?

"If you don't know, you might think you can represent Lord Black." The wizard who had quarreled with Kate before sneered, and he also sounded like a master of sarcasm.

"That's right." The wizards echoed unhappily, "Who are you? Are you qualified to speak for Lord Black?"

On the contrary, Sopya, who had been at odds with Kate since their first meeting, stood on Kate's side this time. He said calmly: "Lord Black always likes silence. Anyone with some relevant memories should know this. I advise you to shut up. Otherwise, if you anger Lord Black, you will be lucky not to be expelled from the temple, let alone any benefits."

There is something hurtful in what Sopea said.

It directly points out that many people come here to welcome Blake not because they really admire Blake, but because they want to gain benefits from this legendary figure, such as meditation experience, or methods to enter the upper levels of the temple.

Those who can become wizards are not stupid. They know very well that a great man like Blake, who once created an era, can benefit them for the rest of their lives with just a few words.

not like him.

Although he also coveted the books of the upper echelons of the temple, that was just a pure thirst for knowledge. If Lord Black was willing to take him to the upper echelons, he would go. If he was not willing, he would not mention it. He would rely on himself to step onto higher levels step by step.

Kate looked at Sopea in a strange way. She didn't expect that the old man would speak for her at the critical moment. She nodded slightly to Sopea, indicating that they could shake hands and make peace temporarily.

But Sopea ignored him and closed her eyes, pretending she saw nothing.

What's the point of shaking hands and making peace? Is a mere light servant qualified to do that?

Let’s talk about it when we get to the third floor. Kate’s face darkened and she wished she could rush over and give that old guy a couple of punches right now.

I'm giving you a favor because you spoke so nicely today, and you're still being so arrogant?

The other wizards' faces turned even darker.

Iris said that Elviri spoke more directly, and Sopea spoke even more directly, without considering whether it would offend the eight people and responded angrily.

"What do you mean?"

"Rank six is amazing, right?"

"What makes you dare to assume what we think?"

"Don't think that just because you've reached rank six, you can arbitrarily question others' respect for Lord Black!"

"Or are you questioning us on the surface, but in fact you are questioning Lord Black's reputation? Do you think that after so many years, Lord Black is no longer as respected as he was before?"

"Saying something like that is not only disrespectful to us, but also to Lord Black!"

Hats were being put on her one after another, and Kate's mouth twitched. She thought these guys were not of high rank.

They are all very eloquent.

On the contrary, Sopea, the person involved, didn't take these words to heart at all.

He just felt annoyed by the hypocrisy of these guys and just thought a few words. As for how the other party came back, what does it have to do with him?

He's finished anyway.

Kate looked at Elviri. As Lord Black's sister-in-law, the girl had the most say.

But Elviri didn't want to speak.

Not to mention that she didn't like Blake, this kind of occasion itself was not suitable to talk about relationships. She had never thought that the statue would come back today. She came to the virtual space purely to represent the Dawn Council and Adev and others to deal with the issue of meeting rights. After that, she had to go back to the hospital to see Sean.

It's not that she completely disowns her brother-in-law in her heart. He is still a family member, and that will not change whether she likes it or not. It's just that she has now confirmed through the disappearance and appearance of the statue that Blake is not dead, so there is nothing to worry about.

As the only great magician above rank ten in the Era of the Scholar, Blake's power was unquestionable. Even if something really happened, it would not be her turn as a rank five to worry about it.

Elviri's concern for Blake is basically about whether Blake is still alive. Now that she has the answer, Blake's importance in her heart will naturally decrease, and he is far less important than Sean, who is still lying on the hospital bed with his life or death uncertain.

Adev, who had been silent the whole time, saw everyone arguing back and forth, until Sopea made a sarcastic remark and ignored them, his voice became a little smaller like a punch on cotton. He finally found an opportunity, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, why don't you listen to me?"

As the head of the Dawn Council, Adev is not only extremely powerful but also of high seniority. He also looks very kind with his big white beard. Everyone will give him face and become quiet.

"I know that everyone came here today to see Lord Black in person. Like you, I am also eager to see Lord Black." Adefu first affirmed everyone's sincerity, then paused and said, "But I also hope that you understand that Lord Black has been sleeping for hundreds of years. Now that he has awakened again, he must have a lot of things to do."

The implication is that not everyone can see it if they want to.

"Of course we understand." A wizard said, "What we don't understand is that you, the Dawn Council, were the first to know that Lord Black was still alive, so why didn't you tell us?"

"Want to secretly earn some performance for yourself and eat alone?"

When Sopea heard the words "eating alone", she opened her eyes and looked at the wizard who was speaking, with a sarcastic smile on her lips. How could such words be used to describe it, and he still said that he was not doing it for the benefit?

Adev was also a little angry and narrowed his eyes: "Little friend, please watch your words."

"There is no such thing as childish talk here."

The man seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and his voice became softer, but he was still stubborn and stiff-necked to defend himself: "I was just making a metaphor casually, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

Adefu sneered and ignored him. He looked at the other wizards and said, "I know what you are concerned about and I understand it."

"Whether you want to get paid for doing things or simply want to follow Lord Black, it's all normal."

"But I want to say that if it is just for the former, there is no need for everyone to fight with the Dawn Council for the right to speak.

For we never intended to appropriate the gift given by Lord Black."

"You guys were right in saying something before."

"Lord Black belongs to no one, he belongs to the whole era.

"Each era is made up of all the people in that era. Lord Black is the creator and we are the maintainers. This was the case in the previous era of Erudite scholars, and it will be the same in the future era of Erudite scholars."

"So, if Lord Black is really willing to teach us knowledge and create a new era,

If you give us the key to open the upper levels of the temple, the Dawn Council will never keep it secret. We will tell everyone about this matter as soon as possible after obtaining Lord Black's consent."

"No matter which wizard organization you belong to, as long as you have this ability, you can enter the Hall of Truth at any time."

A wizard, not knowing whether he felt that there was a loophole in what Adev said or was deliberately picking on him, asked: "Witch hunters are also a wizard organization, can they join?"

Kate's fists hardened.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, Adev raised his hand to stop him. He said meaningfully, "You can ask them to come and try. In the past, when witch hunters sneaked into the temple, they really had no way to do anything because no one could control the temple to screen people. Some witch hunters were good at disguise, and they might not be able to recognize them.

But things are different now.

Lord Black is back.

Many people don't know what the assessment mechanism is for the statues at the entrance of the temple and on each floor, and why a wizard's charm can be judged whether it meets the standards by just touching it. Adev didn't understand it before and thought it was very profound until a liar told him that it was mental magic.

Touching the statue will allow the magic hidden in the statue to enter the body. This is very similar to Sopea's dream spell. It will search for the desired answer in the wizard's mind by itself. If it finds it, it passes, and if it doesn't, it fails.
