Chapter 98 The Truth of War: A Game Between Wizards!
On the way back to the school of thought.
Ian was traveling alone.
Since the schools were all located on the outskirts of the Emerald Forest, Ian wasn't in a hurry. He spent three days exploring the Emerald Forest before returning to the school.
Once back to the school of thought.
As soon as I got home, a wizard came to my door.
"Lord Ian, Minister Hyde invites you to his home," a servant wizard said respectfully.
"good!"
Ian nodded.
As he stepped outside, a carriage was already waiting. A servant lifted the curtain and let Ian in.
The carriage moved smoothly forward and soon arrived at the Ginkgo Avenue.
"Ian, long time no see!"
The door opened, and Hyde's usually cold face showed a slight smile.
"Lord Hyde!"
Ian nodded.
They quickly followed him into the room.
At this moment, the table in the center of the room was filled with all kinds of exquisite food, and a woman was sitting on the sofa not far away.
The woman's eyes were a pale purple, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, like a tranquil spring, and her skin was extremely fair.
The aura emanating from him was only that of a first-class wizard apprentice, seemingly still a step away from becoming a second-class wizard apprentice.
"This is?"
Ian looked at Hyde with a puzzled expression.
"This is my third daughter, Isa, who currently works for the Mystic Source School," Hyde introduced.
"daughter?"
Ian was taken aback.
Then it dawned on me that Hyde wasn't exactly young, and it was quite normal for him to have children.
What does it mean to just invite him and then bring his daughter?
"Come sit down, Isa. You come too. Ian is an excellent wizard in the school!"
Hyde waved.
Isa reluctantly got up from the sofa and sat down in a chair.
Ian understood instantly.
Did I accidentally stumble into a blind date?
Sure enough, during the subsequent dinner, Hyde not only explained his performance in the ore matter, but also introduced his daughter to Ian from time to time.
However, Isa could only maintain a facade of politeness and left midway through the meeting, making up an excuse.
Only two people remained.
"I'm sorry, my daughter is indeed a bit spoiled."
Hyde was also in a very awkward position at this point.
I had originally planned to introduce my daughter to Ian, but I never expected it to turn out like this.
"It's alright, Minister Hyde. Everyone has their own choices. Right now, I just want to go further down the path of a wizard."
Ian shook his head.
"That's really good."
Hyde praised him, but a hint of regret showed in his eyes.
A third-class talent is considered decent within the school, but breaking through to become a second-class wizard is quite difficult.
It's also very difficult to succeed on the first try when taking Deep Blue No. 1 medicine.
It depends a lot on luck; if you fail once, the next breakthrough will only be more difficult.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a pang of guilt and decided that as a reward for this incident and as an apology, he would tell Ian a little more.
"Ian, do you remember the two years I told you about before?" Hyde suddenly said.
"I remember there are still five months left."
Ian nodded, indicating that he did remember the incident.
But he didn't really take it seriously, because more than a year and a half had passed, and the war situation was generally not very good.
But he didn't feel that pressure at all.
"To be more precise, it's not five months, but seven months from now," Hyde said solemnly.
"Seven months?" Ian was stunned for a moment.
Hyde ignored him and continued, "It seems to you that the fighting outside isn't too intense right now, but that's only because these aren't the main factors determining the outcome of a war. Ian, what do you think is the most important factor influencing a war?"
Ian lowered his head, lost in thought.
If this were a past life, then there were many factors influencing war, and the same is true today, even to a great extent.
But the biggest difference between the two is that the former is extraordinary.
"You mean Lord Horton?"
Ian looked up, his breathing quickening.
In a world where overwhelming power determines everything, high-level combat strength is what truly determines the outcome of war.
"Yes." Hyde nodded and said, "Lord Horton, who is also my teacher, was injured seven years ago while exploring the Emerald Shadow Forest. His spiritual core was damaged and almost impossible to recover from, which is why he has not shown his face. Three years ago, he obtained a ritual that could heal his injuries, and then decided to start gathering resources and hold the ritual."
"But the wizards of the Blackrock School did not want to see this happen, which is why this war broke out."
"It was also a test; he wanted to see how the teacher was doing."
"If it is confirmed that the teacher has not recovered, we will take action at any time."
sizzle!
Upon hearing this secret, Ian's eyes widened instantly.
He never imagined that the cause of the war would be so simple.
"Then why don't the official wizards of the Blackrock School take action directly?" Ian asked.
"Naturally, it's because Lord Horton is stronger than him. In fact, a long time ago, the land beneath our feet belonged to the Blackstone School, but our teacher was stronger than him, which is why the Horton School of Wizardry exists today," Hyde said.
"Then why not just kill him?"
Ian was puzzled.
"Of course they're not easy to kill. Do you think formal wizards are so easy to kill? Once they hide in a school or in a magic circle, even the teacher can't do much about it, and they don't even dare to come out to this day," Hyde said irritably.
Ian was embarrassed!
It turned out to be the case.
"So, what about seven months from now?"
"When the ceremony is held!" Hyde said.
That's it!
In an instant, Ian finally understood the true meaning of the two years.
It turns out that it didn't mean the school would be unable to defeat the Blackrock School in two years, but rather that Horton would hold a ritual to restore mental power.
"So hurry up and improve, because in seven months, no matter what, there will be a huge change."
Hyde said.
I don't think Ian could have done anything at that time; I just hope he could have a better chance of survival in that battlefield.
"Thank you, Lord Hyde."
Ian expressed his gratitude.
If Hyde hadn't reminded him, he would still be clueless about what to do!
But once he made it clear, everything became immediately clear.
"I must become stronger immediately!"
Ian's gaze was distant.
He must advance to the third-class wizard apprentice level within seven months before he will be able to escape.
That's right, Ian was thinking of running away.
What a joke.
What if Horton hasn't recovered from the war between the two official wizards, and the official wizards of the Blackrock School come to attack directly?
Just from the fact that he had accidentally seen the throughput of elemental energy in the wizard tower of the wizard Horton Wizard, he knew that this was definitely not a war he could participate in.
If he's not careful, he might be reduced to ashes.
So you'd better run away as soon as possible.
But running away also requires strength.
There are no third-rate wizarding forces here, so leaving would be difficult, and they might even be hunted down by wizards from the Blackrock School.
Even after leaving, the outside environment might be even more difficult to navigate than here.
He couldn't feel at ease without the strength of a third-class wizard!
Thinking about this, he suddenly felt very insecure.
"We must use all available resources to advance to the third-class wizard apprentice level, and even demonstrate most of our abilities."
Ian made a decision immediately.
They're going to run away anyway.
He must make a fortune while this school of thought is still in its final days, then take enough power and run away!
Screw being low-key!
