Chapter 324: The First Obstacle to the Prophecy's Development
Chapter 324 marks the first obstacle to the prophecy's development.
Leo said, "I cannot make a precise judgment. Although the two are similar, these demon armors were definitely not created by me and then delivered to these Sky Knights."
"I was quite surprised when I first saw these demonic armors..."
Leo told Stoffen about what happened on Triangle Island.
After listening, Stoffen said, "If what you say is true, then it seems that these demon armors might really have been leaked by Anthony."
"As for Augusta, if he was the one who planned this, he wouldn't suspect you because of it."
Stoffen meticulously explained the situation to Leo, piece by piece.
"However, next time you encounter a similar situation, try your best to use your hidden spells or bloodline abilities. Even in front of me, it's best not to use them. Having some hidden spells will make it easier for you to conceal your abilities."
"Yes, Master Stoffen."
Falcon rolled over in bed.
"Leo, my mentor was once a powerful, formal wizard, and he was also the founder of the wizarding newspaper."
Leo looked surprised and said, "Wasn't the founder of the Wizard's Gazette a first-class wizard apprentice?"
"That's how it appears to the outside world. In reality, it was established by a first-class wizard apprentice arranged by my mentor. However, due to the passing down of knowledge and the passage of time, it has become what it is today."
Leo nodded slightly.
"My mentor disappeared suddenly a long time ago. At that time, he was very close to becoming a second-circle wizard."
"But he suddenly disappeared without a trace. Besides my mentor, there were several other wizards in the Tower of Dawn who were pursuing the path of a second-circle wizard, and one day they suddenly disappeared without a trace."
"Before these people disappeared, there were instances where they took the initiative to talk to Augusta."
"Someone once asked Augusta where these people went. Augusta replied that they failed to advance to the second circle of wizards and died without leaving any bodies."
Leo listened quietly.
The story Steffen is telling may be the reason why he has been hiding his magic.
Stoffen said, "Leo, if one day I suddenly disappear, I hope you will remember the guess I just made, and then... someday in the future, discover and reveal the truth about our disappearance."
"This is the only thing I hope you can do for me when I took you on as my student."
Leo nodded emphatically and said, "Mentor Stoffen, if one day you mysteriously disappear like the other formal wizards you mentioned, I will do everything in my power to find out the truth."
They received a promise from Leo.
Although Stoffen didn't have his physical body with him, Leo didn't know how he was feeling.
However, Leo seemed to hear a faint laugh in his mind.
The falcon flew away from the window and disappeared from Leo's sight.
Leo's pupils lost their gilding and became a glassy, iridescent color.
He is using the power of the Seven-Colored Dragon bloodline.
Using his bloodline ability, Leo tried to observe the changes in the threads on his body.
He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the threads were just ordinary and not gold or black.
As Stoffensive said, although my prophecy about Augusta was important, Augusta did not keep his attention on me because of it.
If Augusta focuses her gaze on Leo, the threads of prophecy that Leo is bound to by the magic stone will turn gold or black.
This Augusta is truly cunning beyond belief.
Leo was also somewhat helpless.
I initially joined the Tower of Dawn in order to gain refuge from the kingdom's nobles.
Therefore, Leo entered the world of wizards without any preparation.
During his time at the Tower of Dawn, Leo could only move forward step by step amidst the obstruction of other wizards, due to the role and influence of the Prophet in the prophecy.
On his path to becoming a wizard, Leo discovered that no matter how far he went, there would always be wizards above him who exerted even greater pressure on him.
Ryan, a first-class wizard apprentice.
The teacher disguised as Uriel.
Descendants of formal wizards.
The official wizards of the Golden Eagle faction.
Now, Leo even has to face Augusta, one of the top wizards in the first ring... or rather, the strongest in the Sunken Light Sea.
"The enemy is powerful, and all I can do is become a formal wizard in the shortest possible time."
a few days later.
Outside the expedition island, the figure of a wizard gracefully descended.
Inside the white tower.
Leo and Frandi entered Stoffen's office one after the other.
Stoffen said, "Leo, Frandi, this is Wizard Beth. He is here on the orders of Wizard Augusta to inquire about the circumstances of my killing of the Sky Knights."
Beth looked at Leo, a fleeting shadow of gloom in his eyes, then revealed an approving and expectant look, saying, "Leo, I didn't expect to see you here. You know, I've gone to the Esmond gathering several times these past few days looking for you, but I haven't seen you."
Leo said, "I'm sorry, Wizard Beth, I just happen to need to come to the White Tower these few days to assist Professor Stoffen's research."
"Haha, it's okay."
Then, Wizard Beth coughed twice and said, "Putting personal matters aside for now, I am here today on Lord Augusta's orders to inquire about the specifics. Now, you two, each of you, tell me everything you saw that day in detail."
Leo and Frandi then began to explain the situation from their perspectives.
Beth pondered for a moment, then said, "Your account is no different from what the wizard Stoffen said. It seems that these Sky Knights were influenced by the power of some wizard, which is why they attacked the expedition island. It's highly likely that they are wandering wizards. However, their equipment is quite interesting. It's exactly the same as the exoskeleton magic absorption equipment that the wizard Stoffen is researching and equipping for the knights."
Beth paused here, emphasizing, "Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?"
Leo said, "Wizard Beth, this isn't actually related to Master Stoffen's research, but rather to my own. Several months ago, Wizard Anthony personally approached me to discuss research on this exoskeleton magic absorption device. This should also be registered within the Tower of Dawn."
"That's true." Beth regained her composure and said, "Although this was indeed a coincidence, some things just happen by chance."
Beth didn't linger on the island. Instead, he checked the memories of several wizard apprentices to confirm that Leo and the others weren't lying before leaving.
