The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 948 The Wizarding Civil War (Part 2)

The headquarters of the School of Miracles is surrounded by a massive energy barrier, which, like the sky, covers an area of ​​ten kilometers in radius.

Beneath this barrier-like sky, wizards belonging to the School of Miracles were constantly on the move. Most of these wizards were coordinating logistics, while others were using their connections to gather intelligence.

Civil war, a war purely driven by self-interest and devoid of any ideological conflict, inevitably gives rise to a considerable number of two-faced individuals.

These wizards have a conscience; they will serve their school of thought, but they can also change their minds because of the words of their friends. Compared to those purely opportunistic individuals who start wars, these wizards are not only sources of intelligence, but also potential candidates for winning over.

"Master, the situation in the academies under this school is very bad."

At the center of the energy dome, old Abel listened to his subordinates' reports without changing his expression.

He asked calmly, "I remember the escape routes built by each college have all been completed, right?"

"Yes, Master, but without the protection of the Academy, our wizards will likely face even greater difficulties in surviving. The Alchemy School and the Evocation School have joined forces, and airships searching for miracle wizards are scattered throughout the wizarding world."

Moreover, there are rumors that trouble has also broken out in the world of demi-human wizards.

Many wizards on the front lines are applying for transfers, wanting to join the battle.

"What did the Ministry of Justice say?" Old Abel asked again.

"The Ministry of Justice's answer remains the same: the Ministry of Justice is subordinate to the Truth Council and does not belong to any school of thought. It is impossible to expect them to directly intervene in the war."

Upon hearing this news, old Abel fell silent for a moment. After a while, he said, word by word, "...Do they intend to betray the Crown Throne?"

“I’m sorry, Master.” The subordinate bowed slightly. “They said this is the Crown’s order. They will do nothing but protect the wizards.”

“The Crown…”

Old Abel's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"At this point, is the Crown Prince still thinking about the bigger picture?"

The Ministry of Justice is one of the cornerstones of the wizarding civilization. While they may exhibit some minor biases in their enforcement, they must treat all seven major schools equally in their attitude.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the Ministry of Justice to exist.

"Huh, putting the big picture first? You think quite highly of Richard."

Just as old Abel was sighing, a dimensional portal suddenly opened beside him. Ulysses then rode Hogger out of it.

Hogg, a name that hasn't appeared in a long time.

As a son of the Dragon King, Hogger possessed considerable potential. However, the transformation of potential required a significant amount of time, which was precisely what Richard lacked. Therefore, for a long time, she had been confined to the secret realm, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.

Fortunately, Richard, this pivotal figure in fate, will continue to influence the fates of those around him.

The emergence of the Spirit Desert civilization allowed Hogger's potential to be unleashed to a tremendous degree. The bloodline inheritance from the Dragon Overlord enabled Hogger to directly begin his ascension to the position of World Lord.

Just a few days ago, Hogger's advancement was completed, and he reached the limit of a level four creature at an astonishing speed.

That's considered passing the minimum requirement for going to the battlefield.

"Lord Ulises."

Old Abel bowed slightly to Ulysses.

Although Ulysses is the ruler of an alien world, within the School of Miracles, his status surpasses that of many other wizards. Even old Abel treats him with utmost respect.

"Richard's orders are that all wizards in the academies should not defend their academies to the death. If an academy is breached, the escape routes should be activated immediately, and the law enforcement wizards from the Ministry of Justice will protect them."

Old Abel bowed slightly.

"Yes."

After speaking, he looked at Ulises, his tone tinged with trepidation.

Is the Crown Prince about to make a move?

“As far as I know, not yet.” Ulisses got off Hogg and landed on old Abel’s table. “He is still working on the construction of magic inside the Abyss World. It is estimated that the war will not start for about seven more days.”

"Seven days? Truly, the truth will prevail."

Old Abel nodded, feeling somewhat at ease.

Seven days is not a long time; the School of Miracles can afford to wait. Moreover, having a specific date can effectively unite the hearts and minds of those within the school.

At this juncture, there are far too many wizards who have defected.

“Let’s hold a meeting,” Ulises said again. “I need to see the wizards at headquarters. Headquarters can’t afford to be in disarray at this critical juncture.”

"Yes……"

Boom!

Before old Abel could finish speaking, a thunderous explosion came from outside the tower.

Upon hearing this voice, the two people's expressions changed drastically, and they instantly teleported out of the central tower.

Outside the tower, great wizards from the School of Evocation, the School of Alchemy, and several other schools stood in the sky, their imposing presence even making the sky appear somewhat gloomy.

"Has the courage in the very bones of the wizards of the School of Miracles been shattered by avoiding battle at this juncture?" a great wizard asked.

The great wizard's body resembled a storm, with lightning and clouds intertwined, making him look like an ancient god who had stepped out of mythology.

The terrifying pressure emanating from the sixth-level being was like a mountain, making the Miracles School wizards on the ground gasp for breath. "Heh, quite the aura," Old Abel said, a cold smile flashing across his face as he looked at the great wizard in the sky. "Eye of the Storm, just advanced to the sixth ring, and already rushing to his death?"

After saying this, old Abel glanced at the group of great wizards behind him, and the sneer on his face immediately turned into mockery.

The Grand Wizards behind the Eye of the Storm are all products of the strategy of expanding the scale of the Grand Wizards.

Not long ago, these people were high-ranking wizards of the fifth and fourth rings, but because of this policy, they enjoyed a huge wave of benefits and successfully joined the core of the school.

"Are they all newly promoted rookies, so eager to come and die?"

The Storm Eye Wizard glanced at old Abel, and his storm-like body instantly transformed into a face.

“Endless Shadow, your School of Miracles has failed. If you lower your defenses now, you will have a chance of survival after the rebellion is quelled.”

"Rebellion?"

Upon hearing this title, not only old Abel, but even Ulysses standing nearby couldn't hold back.

“Hahaha, that’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in this era.” Ulysses laughed so hard his feathers trembled. “Boy, how dare you call this a rebellion.”

"Based on that statement alone, regardless of whether you win or lose this war, you are going to die."

Richard and the second-generation Cursed Crown are both legitimate Crowns. Even the Evocation and Alchemy Crowns wouldn't dare call this a rebellion; they could only say it was an internal struggle.

Otherwise, the split of the wizarding civilization would be inevitable.

Dissidents can be persuaded, but traitors only need to be destroyed. Neither the Evocation School nor the Alchemy Crown will set a precedent for the Destruction School.

Although they are cooperating now, they will compete to see who is superior in the future.

When the Storm Eye Wizard heard Ulises's taunts, he not only didn't take it to heart, but also felt a surge of mockery.

In his view, this civil war would inevitably result in a complete victory for the alliance of the Evocation and Alchemy schools. Richard, the Crown of Miracles, would surely be expelled from the Wizarding Civilization and forced to join the Abyss Civilization.

Leaving the wizard civilization and joining the abyss civilization is inevitably a betrayal.

Regardless of the opinions of the two Crowns, in the wizarding world, this civil war will inevitably turn into a great rebellion instigated by the School of Miracles in alliance with the Star Mayflies, and involving the School of Curses.

Even wizards need to have a legitimate cause in such a civil war.

This is something even the Crown Prince couldn't prevent.

"You're still being stubborn even when you're about to die. Wait until I pluck your feathers, then let's see if you can still squawk so happily."

As the Storm Eye Wizard roared, his entire body instantly expanded to tens of thousands of meters tall, resembling a real storm.

Violent energy continuously converged on him, and within the storm, white and purple lightning surged like a dragon.

Behind him, the other great wizards also revealed their true forms.

In an instant, the entire headquarters of the School of Miracles was shrouded in the shadow of the Great Wizard's true form.

"Gah, a bunch of idiots."

Ulisses watched this scene without a trace of panic. Several days earlier, with the help of the Miracles School's resources, he had successfully reached the level of a sixth-level being.

While his strength was insufficient to deal with the group of great wizards before him, he had not come here to flaunt his martial prowess.

With a thought, a vision of a black desert suddenly appeared in the void behind him.

Ulysses looked at the Storm Eye Archmage and said in an icy voice, "You unruly fool, I'll clean house for your Equilibrium Crown."

As he spoke, the black desert behind him unleashed a torrent of gray energy that instantly pierced the energy dome of the School of Miracles and the body of the Storm Eye Archmage.

What followed was a terrible storm.

The eye of the storm's great wizard's body suddenly became uncontrollable, and lightning carrying decaying radiation spread uncontrollably in all directions. Everything within the storm's attack range was vulnerable to being struck by the lightning.

Many of the great wizards were not ignorant trash; the fact that they became great wizards meant that they had at least some knowledge of sculpting.

They reacted after seeing the storm expand uncontrollably.

The Eye of the Storm Wizard is dead, and even his body has become a weapon of the School of Miracles.

"The effect is not bad. Even with minimal effort, it can instantly kill a sixth-ring archmage."

Ulisses looked at the ever-expanding storm in the sky, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

This black desert is where Richard forged the Truth-level magical armor from the Realm Within a Realm he obtained from the Cursed Demon. And this use is its first real battle.

"Lord Ulisses, this thing is..."

Old Abel looked at the still-present phantom and asked uncertainly.

“This is my main purpose for coming here,” Ulises said, turning around. “This is Richard’s Truth-level magical armor, responsible for guarding headquarters.”

"Losing the academy is fine, but the headquarters is the face of our school; we can't afford to lose it."

As he spoke, Ulisses looked into the distance. He could sense that two gazes were looking at him while he was using the magical armor.

"Stop looking, gentlemen, Richard will arrive in seven days."

Let's clean up this mess; this farce needs to end.
