Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 150 The Great Sage

Vines climbed the steep mountain walls.

The triangular tracks rolled over the snowfield.

The rough-hewn steam locomotive rushed out of the bushes like a giant beast. With a graceful tailspin, the tracked steam off-road vehicle came to a steady stop at the foot of the cliff.

The car door opened, and two young men and women dressed in classical wizard costumes got out of the car.

In the driver's seat, a man in smart overalls and a thick jacket waved goodbye to them, saying, "Thank you so much for this trip. Otherwise, the town would have suffered a lot of losses."

The young men and women in classical wizard attire smiled upon hearing this, and the older youth responded:
"Uncle Cassius, you're too polite. We live next door to each other, so we won't sit idly by while our town suffers this sudden snowstorm. We're also glad that our witchcraft can help you."

The young girl also said playfully, "Yes, Uncle Cassius. Our teacher always said that witchcraft is a force that brings happiness to mankind."

The man in overalls leaned over the car window, half of his body sticking out, and smiled at the wizards, "Wizard Seraphina is a great person... I remember you've come of age this year. Next time you come to town, I'll treat you to a drink."

After waving goodbye to the townspeople, the young wizards waved their wands. Suddenly, an invisible force lifted them up and they flew slowly, floating towards the steep mountain wall.

Inside the steam buggy, the boy sitting in the passenger seat stared at the two wizards flying up the cliff with envy in his eyes. He turned to his father who was driving and said, "Dad, I want to learn witchcraft too."

The man looked at the child's hopeful eyes and said with a smile:
"I was planning to send you to college for further studies after you completed your general education..."

"Becoming a wizard is not an easy task, but...if you want to try, Wizard Seraphina is interested in recruiting disciples from the town. I will try to sign you up."

"But we agreed that if you fail the test, you have to study at the academy."

……

On the cliff is a remote place that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Walking past the trees cast with warning spells, the young wizard girl, as lively as a forest elf, floated through the spring that sparkled with strange silver light, all the way to the wizard's hut entangled by huge vines.

"Teacher." The girl threw herself into the arms of a middle-aged woman who was organizing her notes.

This middle-aged woman was none other than the wizard Seraphina.

He looked at the girl in his arms with a doting smile and asked, "Child, have you completed the follow-up work I assigned to you?"

"Of course." The girl raised her head proudly and said, "We wizards have the power to analyze all extraordinary things. How could I embarrass my teacher and the wizards?"

"Teacher, you're still organizing your witchcraft notes." The girl asked doubtfully, noticing the thick stack of papers in Seraphina's hand. "But didn't you say that witchcraft is a force that becomes more powerful the more secretive it is?"

Seraphina gently stroked the girl's hair and said softly, "Yes, but we can't be afraid to spread this knowledge just for the sake of pursuing power. Those who have strayed into the path of 'wizards,' those who aspire to become 'wizards,' also need better guidance."

"In the past, wizards like our generation suffered from the pain of 'knowledge chasing people', but at the same time, we also gained a lot of knowledge from it while bearing the price of losing control."

"Now, the whispers that pursued us have suddenly weakened. While the risk of losing control has been reduced for the new generation of wizards, they have also lost a channel for acquiring knowledge. Therefore, this responsibility should be taken up by us."

There is a firm strength in Seraphina's gentle words.

At this moment, the older young man also walked in. He quietly took his teacher's words to heart and wanted to become a real wizard like his teacher.

However, at this moment, the attack suddenly came.

dark night.

The town was immersed in a peaceful slumber.

The night watchmen, dressed in black clerical robes, shuttled between the residences of the night residents.

Following closely behind the Night Watchmen were some priests holding strange devices and believing in the "Angels of Enlightenment".

A slightly cold sigh directed the actions of these people:

"Erase all residents' memories of witches and witchcraft, and burn all objects related to witches and witchcraft."

"A thorough cleanup is essential. Residents will receive corresponding compensation in the form of post-disaster subsidies..."

The secret place of the cliff wizard.

The peaceful atmosphere was completely shattered. Explosions engulfed everything.

Serafina gnashed her teeth at this moment, and shouted angrily at the sturdy man in the wizard robe in front of her:

"Stiano!"

"You truly betrayed the wizard!"

A complex expression flashed across the eyes of Stiano, who was wearing wizard robes, but he quickly regained his indifference. He used the extraordinary ability of Sequence 3 "Master of Prophecy" to completely suppress his former wizard demigod companion and advised:
"Seraphina, surrender."

The low- and mid-sequence wizards here were defeated and detained by the members of the "Moss Ascetic Order" brought by Stiano, and all the wizard information accumulated here was collected and burned.

Under the blazing flames, Seraphina could only bitterly scold the culprit, Stiano: "Stiano, have you lost yourself in power?!"

Stiano looked at Seraphina, his face expressionless. He calmly advised, "Seraphina, your path is wrong. Witches should not be promoted, and witchcraft must be phased out. This is both the Lord's oracle and God's expectation."

"Lord..." Seraphina knew that this title belonged only to the "God", the "Sun God" who led mankind out of the Dark Ages.

So even though he joined the Moss Ascetic Order and even though he agreed with people's exploration of the sky, he still maintained his piety to the Lord in his heart.

He was simply unhappy with the Lord's interference with their freedom.

But... who is God?

In the current era, apart from the one and only Lord, the only one who can be called God is the sleeping goddess.

"God..."

Stiano sighed incomprehensibly, and then said indifferently:
"All mysteries will remain hidden, and all power will belong to the great... sage who once whispered in our ears and guided us to look toward the sky."

……

Let the "Spirit Angel" Tolzna carry the seal made with the characteristics of the "Knowledge Emperor" to deal with Badhair who is suspected of gaining new power.

Let the Night Watchmen, the Moss Ascetics, and the "Enlightened" priests thoroughly carry out the oracles that keep witchcraft secret.

Carrying out these planned things in an orderly manner, Amanesis waited quietly and patiently for the hidden uniqueness of the "hermit", the hidden sage.

Some things cannot be hidden even if you want to.

……

City of Steel.

Russell melted the silver medal in his hand, but the doubts in his heart were hard to dispel.

Who is that girl...

"Although I haven't been able to uncover the reason for my time travel, nor confirm the true identity of the 'system'... but as an 'esoteric scholar', there's no need for me to stay here any longer."

Russell thought to himself that he was planning to leave at this time, both to complete his research on flying into the starry sky and to hide himself again to ensure his own safety.

However, at this moment, a figure appeared silently behind him, and a deep voice broke the silence: "Are you planning to leave?"

"Chief." Russell collected all his thoughts and pretended to be surprised, "Why would I plan to leave?"

Grisha simply glanced at Him, not dwelling on the topic any further, and said briefly, "Follow me."

After saying that, Grisha turned and left.

Russell hesitated.

But he thought that with Grisha's character, if he really discovered his suspicion and wanted to harm him, he would definitely take action directly instead of wasting the other party's precious time on these unnecessary temptations.

Roselle caught up with Grisha.
