Chapter 54 -52 Doubts

“Swoosh—” Lilia suddenly sat upright.

Being dispatched as one of the three major cannon fodders clearly indicated she wasn’t given much importance. Her situation was somewhat similar to Bennett’s, being essentially a third-level wizard apprentice who had lost the opportunity for promotion but still possessed decent combat abilities due to her prolonged time at that level.

However, Lilia had no influential backing; her reliance was solely on a unique type of frost-related witchcraft she had created.

But even the most powerful third-level wizard apprentice was still just an apprentice. If there was even a sliver of chance to become a formal wizard, Lilia would not give it up.

Moreover, although she appeared quite young, this was just a method wizards used to change their appearance. In terms of actual age, she was probably the oldest among the three wizard apprentices.

Lucian narrowed his eyes. In fact, he wasn’t particularly interested in the promotion opportunities that Bennett had mentioned.

After all, such so-called opportunities often hid great dangers and disasters!

For Lucian, what he lacked was not opportunity, but ample time.

After all, he was practicing an improved meditation method, with a grade-four aptitude. According to the ‘Greybone Meditation Method · Revised II,’ all he needed to do was meditate step by step, solidify his spiritual runes, and he would ascend smoothly. Thus, acts of desperate gambling, like those considered by Bennett and Lilia, did not hold much appeal for him.

Nevertheless, Lucian still showed a look of “surprise” on the surface, but his mind was filled with caution. He would not assume Bennett was noble enough to selflessly share information that could change the fate of a third-level wizard apprentice. If he’s bringing it up now, there certainly had to be a deeper scheme behind it.

He didn’t want to get involved in any uncontrollable risks due to Lilia or Bennett. Given a choice, he would prefer to lay low for a while, quietly become a formal wizard, and then astonish everyone.

However, at this moment, he naturally couldn’t appear too detached, so he also showed quite an interested demeanor. Of course, compared to Lilia beside him, Lucian seemed much calmer.

Bennett, watching Lucian and Lilia who were clearly attracted by the chance to become formal wizards, smiled and waved his hand. Immediately, a dense array of text appeared in the air, and then formed an extremely stringent contract.

Lucian quickly skimmed the content of the contract. Only after confirming there were no traps or other problems within it, merely a strict confidentiality agreement, did he readily imprint his spiritual mark upon it.

Lilia, on the other hand, was even quicker to act. And as all three left their spiritual marks on the contract, the document, influenced by their spiritual power, began to faintly bridge a connection with an entity an infinite distance away.

Hum—

As an inconspicuous spatial rift appeared, a terrifying presence was cast from the other side of the rift.

And soon, what was the contract now turned into the shape of a vertical eye.

The vertical eye scanned over Lucian, making the hair on his back stand on end as he felt as though he was facing a high and mighty deity.

“The contract is established,” a voice that seemed to echo from the depths of his soul announced, and all the strange phenomena vanished without a trace.

Lucien, however, was left with the sensation of being watched. He instinctively knew that if he breached the terms of the oath, he would be eradicated by the owner of the breath he had felt moments ago.

“Such stringent contracts are much stricter than those drafted by Greybone Academy… It’s no wonder they’re called the Eyes of Justice,” he mused in awe. Yet, seeing Lilia and Bennett with their calm expressions, he managed to suppress the emotions rising within him. He then turned to Bennett, “Now that the contract has been signed, there’s no need for you to worry about us not honoring the agreement. Can you reveal the information you’ve obtained now?”

“Of course, after all, I don’t wish to be slain directly by the Eyes of Justice from across boundless space and time through the contract,” Bennett said with a smile before lowering his voice. “I suspect that near Kosai Island, there exists a secret realm related to the Fairy Clan, and there, perhaps lies the legendary Fairyland.”

Fairyland? Lucien wasn’t clear about the meaning of this term that so obviously combined the words “Fairy” and “Land,” neither did Lilia, who also wore a contemplative look in her eyes.

“During the era of the Wizard Empire, humans, fairies, and even other Wisdom Species vied for dominion over the Wizard World. Fairyland was a sanctuary established by the Fairy Clan to ensure a refuge for their people,” explained Bennett before picking up a book from the nearby shelf and flipping it to a certain page, his words filled with a stirring sentiment.

“Within Fairyland, there would naturally be fairy gardens. You should know that compared to humans, the Fairy Clan has a closer affinity with nature and can even cultivate many magical plants that human wizards are simply incapable of nurturing,” he said.

Lucien took the book Bennett handed him and quickly browsed through the section about Fairyland.

The general situation was similar to what Bennett had described, but Lucien felt that Bennett’s description of Fairyland wasn’t very reliable. After all, the likes of ruins, secret realms, and even Fairyland, have a great appeal to formal wizards.

If Wizard Heli was unaware, that would be one thing, but he had spent so much time investigating Kosai Island, and Bennett had obtained some of his information from within Heli’s own family…

Lucien felt a twinge of unease.

Obviously, the “failure” of Wizard Heli had many questionable points. Yet, Bennett’s confident manner, coupled with the oath he had sworn, didn’t seem like deception.

Perhaps he had concealed some crucial details, but what he had told both himself and Lilia should be true. Otherwise, Bennett would have already broken the oath and been slain directly by the Eyes of Justice across the endless spans of time and space.

Furthermore, what was the purpose of the group of mixed-race fairies according to the information obtained in the identification results?

Formal Wizard Heli, two companions with unknown objectives, and the mysteriously appearing mixed-race fairies on Kosai Island…

Lucien felt as if all these events were intertwined, forming a massive cloud of doubt that completely enveloped him.

The road ahead was incredibly obscure, as if a single thought could lead to heaven or Hell.
