Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

"Thank you for saving me, sir."

The wounded knight staggered forward and respectfully thanked the two men.

"It's not a big deal. Cults shouldn't exist in the first place. The fact that you dared to stand up to these evil forces proves your courage. You are truly a force to be reckoned with."

Wadeson praised her without reservation.

As a wizard from Damons Academy, and also a former wild wizard, he does not look down on ordinary people because of the difference in strength.

After all, ordinary people also possess admirable virtues that most wizards lack.

"You flatter me, sir," the knight said, somewhat apprehensive.

Seeing this, Wadeson didn't say anything more; it's normal for ordinary people to be afraid of wizards.

Then Wadeson took out some pills and asked the knight to treat the injured.

The pills produced by the second-tier wizard were remarkably effective. Although they didn't quite bring the dead back to life or heal all the wounds, they were enough to treat most injuries.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Wadeson glanced at the church, then turned to Xia Jian with a smile and extended an invitation.

Xia Jian shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

Natsumi is quite interested in things like gods and spirits.

Not only because of the opponent's great strength, but also because he wanted to obtain 'skill points' from the opponent, which was his main purpose for coming here.

…………

The two entered the church.

Because of the previous fight, the room was filled with shattered glass and broken tables and chairs.

On the innermost stone platform, there is a bronze statue with a lion's head, a human body, and a deer's body.

Upon seeing this, Xia Jian frowned slightly: 'It really is that statue!'

He had seen this statue in a cave in the village before.

But then it suddenly disappeared, and because of the Namo Illusion Flower, he always thought it was his own hallucination.

It now appears that the statue was most likely taken by the three knights.

Of course, it's also possible that it was found elsewhere, since he didn't search the entire village at the time.

As Xia Jian approached the bronze statue, a strange feeling lingered in his heart, as if obtaining the statue would grant him something.

"Such powerful mental interference, is this what a god is like...?"

Xia Jian snapped out of her daze and glanced at Du De, who looked dazed, beside her.

It must be said that the gods' brainwashing ability is truly formidable; even a second-tier wizard like him was inevitably affected.

Wadeson narrowed his eyes and gave Xia Jian a deep look.

The fact that Xia Jian was able to react so quickly suggests that his foundation is even more solid than he had imagined, and it shouldn't be something he achieved through some kind of evil technique.

"How so?"

Xia Jian looked at Wadeson and asked.

While the goal is to gain "skill points," caution is necessary to achieve sustainable development when facing powerful beings like gods.

"Only a trace of the god's will remains on the statue. That god has most likely already perished. Just follow your heart."

Wadeson smiled and explained.

He didn't know much about the gods, but no wizard can escape their allure.

Faced with such a powerful and formidable creature, most wizards would try to learn a little about it, hoping to one day be able to capture one for research.

He had seen similar descriptions in books before, and the deity in front of him was most likely one of the gods that wizards had hunted down in the past, or one that had perished while trying to invade this world.

"Sir, there's something going on here."

Just as Xia Jian was thinking about what to do with the statue, a knight hurriedly ran from the back room to the three of them.

Xia Jian raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

He didn't sense anything strange. Could there be some powerful creature lurking here?

The two exchanged a glance, then followed the knight into the back room.

…………

The back house consists of several rooms.

The two entered one of the rooms and saw a strange creature with a deformed body.

The bizarre creature was skin and bones, like a dried-up mummy, with three heads: a deer's head, a lion's head, and a human head.

The strange creature, holding chalk, kept drawing strange, blurry characters in the room, and it was these characters that interfered with Xia Jian's mental detection.

"It's hopeless."

Wadeson shook his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh.

"The language of the gods is not something ordinary people can master. Forcibly writing it down will cause one to suffer from the erosion and backlash of this inexplicable power."

The person before them was clearly influenced by that deity, trying to glimpse the deity's power.

Let alone ordinary people, wizards below the third rank do not have the ability to face the gods directly. Even divine words can affect a wizard's mind.

The idea that an ordinary person would explode at the mere sight of a deity is not just a saying.

Looking at the words on the wall, Xia Jian finally gave up in despair.

Similar to the runes Westin had previously inscribed, it was as if some mysterious force was interfering with it, preventing him from seeing its mysteries.

Furthermore, the fact that this human lacks significant strength results in a shallow and vague depiction of the subject matter.

After discussing it, the two decided to burn the place down.

As for the ownership of the statue of the god, Wadeson did not insist. Xia Jian was relieved to have obtained ownership of the statue of the god.

Natsumi already felt guilty about what happened to Neil Bella.

If a dispute arises over a statue of a deity, Natsumi might really go astray.

…………

After sealing the statue of the deity, Xia Jian told Wadeson and the other man about Neil Bella.

After all, more than a month had passed, and Herammons and the others should have already left Neilbella. He didn't want the two of them to make another trip, so he decided to just tell them the truth.

After learning about this, Wadeson fell into a long silence.

He had lived in Neilbella before the existence of Damons Academy, and never imagined that Neilbella would disappear so suddenly.

In comparison, Dudley is easier to accept.

Firstly, because his time in Neilbella was relatively short, and secondly, because most of his classmates survived under the protection of the formation, only in a different location.

Although Dud sighed inwardly, it wasn't something unacceptable for an apprentice who rarely interacted with the outside world.

And this may not necessarily be a bad thing, after all, even staying in the academy, one might not be able to survive.

…………

Xia Jian felt deeply helpless about this.

Mu Shuang is the culprit behind this, and he is Mu Shuang's student. Even if he was forced into it, he must take half the blame.

At least to many outsiders, he and Mu Shuang were in cahoots, such as the forces like Yinmo Valley.

After he left Damons Academy, it is estimated that these forces have already begun searching for his whereabouts.

Of course, Xia Jian was partly to blame, since he was also involved in spreading the news.
