Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 255 Inheritance Issues

The Blue Rose family lineage is unbroken. Each generation has at most one male heir.

Unless a person dies, a new male offspring can be born. At the coming-of-age ceremony, the father, Tyron, drunkenly revealed the secret.

"Can't a girl inherit the family business?" Tai'an shrugged indifferently.

"Our territory is on the front line of the battle against the orc tribes. Do you expect women to shoulder the responsibility of protecting our homeland?" Tyren asked, his eyes wide.

"Why not?" Taian didn't think women were weak. There were far more women than men in the upper echelons of the Wizarding Academy.

Of course, the useless older sister, Taeya, is indeed incapable of shouldering heavy responsibilities. At her age, she still acts like a child.

"So you'd better find a way to get the child back," Tyron said, revealing his true intentions.

"No, the Tulip family offered a set of fine gold armor in exchange!" Taian took out a lump of golden, mud-like gold from his spatial ring.

"How dare you accept other people's things like that?" Tyren slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Even a suit of adamantite armor can't compare to an heir."

"I didn't just randomly offer a price; I thought they would back down, but I didn't expect them to actually give it to me. This is pure gold! I owe my life to it on the battlefield," Tai'an explained.

"Let's pray!" Tyron slumped down. "They must have had a girl. Anyway, girls can inherit the tulips, we only want boys."

"Don't worry! There are other options." Tai'an smiled mysteriously.

"What do you mean?" Tyron was completely confused.

……

"Xiao An! I'm sure, our child is a boy."

Activating the constant-temperature inscription array, in the comfortably warm office, Hua Yun gazed tenderly at the Three-Eyed Raven and confided her feelings.

"Hmm! Not bad, all my hard work was worth it." The Three-Eyed Raven spoke clearly in human language, though his voice was still unavoidably hoarse.

The opening time of the ruins is approaching. Registration is booming at all the spellcaster divisions of Violet Academy.

Everyone is full of anticipation for exploring the heritage sites.

The minimum requirement for registration is reaching a formal class rank. In addition, a team of at least seven people is required, and each team must be led by an elite-rank spellcaster.

Every spellcaster is a rare talent, even more valuable than a construct knight. Both the academy's and the kingdom's leadership must do everything possible to ensure the safety of spellcaster students.

Neither Silvermoon nor Dorothy were prepared to enter the ruins for exploration and voluntarily gave up their spots.

Fu and Leona were very interested and decided to join the group led by Youmu.

Other students in the same group include Lei Siqi from first grade, Born from second grade, and Fenlai and Hawke from third grade.

Tai'an himself did not intend to enter the ruins, so he sent a three-eyed raven to follow him.

He bred several new Three-Eyed Raven clones. One was simply not enough.

Prepare one to be placed in the Blue Rose Territory and one in the Academy. The first three-eyed raven, named Number One, will roam near the Church of Dawn.

"Xiao An, if something happens to me, will you come to save me?"

The day before the site was to open, Fu asked at the dinner table.

"Am I not going down with you? If you're really scared, then don't go! It's pointless for you." Tai'an slowly sipped his hot tea, his Source Eye casually glancing at everyone around the table. Each person, including himself, exuded a trace of calamity aura.

The heaviest aura above Fu and Leona's heads indicates a greater likelihood of encountering unknown dangers. This is related to their choices; if they change their minds, the aura of impending doom above their heads will fade.

"I'm not scared at all." Fu crossed her arms and pouted.

Leona seemed somewhat distracted. Her decision to take the risk stemmed from a recent ranking duel among the sisters. Of the four, she believed she couldn't possibly be the weakest, but she turned out to be the weakest.

She didn't understand why she was the weakest.

The next day.

The plaza in front of the Wizard's Tower was densely packed with young spellcasters, numbering over a thousand. Most of them came from various spellcasting organizations throughout the country, with a small number of foreigners as well.

"Go in! You are responsible for your own life and death, and for the consequences!" The lich Gargamel slammed his bone staff down heavily.

The earth rose, splitting open a deep, dark passage.

People began to enter gradually. Some firmly believed that the treasure was first come, first served. Others lagged behind, hoping to find a way through the area.

Youmu led her team of six members, following the flow of people from the academy, and walked in the first group.

"Don't be afraid! We have a guide! The first level is the simplest maze."

"Mentor, do you know why the Sorting House's wizarding tatar was built on ruins?" Third-year student Hawke asked.

"This wizard tower is different from the mage tower in the mage branch; it's part of the ruins itself," Youmu revealed some unknown details. "Later, the seniors of the branch cleared it out little by little to use as a base. This was mainly because the dark realm was more suitable for undead creatures and for safety. Before we came, I told you that there are many dangers and forbidden areas within the ruins. Our goal is only to observe and record the special ancient inscriptions, and to avoid exploring unknown areas as much as possible..."

"Caw caw!" The three-eyed crow on Youmu's shoulder cawed in agreement.

The complex maze is constantly changing. One moment it's a path to survival, the next the walls disappear, turning it into a dead end.

Simply memorizing may not be enough here; it also requires logical analysis and deduction skills to find patterns.

Based on the strategies summarized by those who have successfully completed the game, the first level is no longer difficult for the vast majority of players.

On average, the college teams arrived at the exit in less than thirty minutes.

"This is really interesting! Xiao An, will you regret not coming?" Fu looked at the number three little crow standing on Leona's head.

"I'll design a more interesting monument later," the little crow said dismissively, pecking at its feathers.

"What are you doing right now?" Fu asked curiously.

"Sticky!" the Three-Eyed Raven answered without any attempt to hide its intentions.

"And Yin Yueyao?" Fu guessed.

"I won't tell you..."

The adventure team's live broadcast was presented on the screen from the perspective of the crow's clone.

Everyone gathered in the living room, acting as spectators with great interest. Hot milk, various fruits, and pastries were laid out on the coffee table.

Think of it as watching an adventure livestream; you never know what will happen next, which makes it especially exciting.

The Youmu Squad has made their way through a series of challenges, the second of which is a test of their wits. The stone statue guardians will ask intruders questions, and only those who answer correctly will be allowed to pass.

If the answer is incorrect, the statue guardian may attack, or enter a cooldown period of approximately 15 minutes. The exact duration depends on age; older statues are more likely to be attacked.

Everyone had memorized the question bank beforehand, so they passed easily.

"It doesn't seem dangerous at all?" Silver Moon snuggled up to her owner like a kitten.

They are so well-behaved!

It won't bite no matter how much you pet it.
