Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

Just as Byron was walking towards the thatched hut, Charles, who had been lying on the ground with his arms crossed and looking dazed, suddenly became excited upon seeing this scene.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the pile of ashes lying quietly on the ground, and a mocking smile appeared on Charles's lips.

He's just a bit slow-witted, not stupid.

Some people seem smart, but they are actually foolish, handing over their only chance to survive to the other party.

This is tantamount to handing your life over to the other person, leaving your life or death entirely to their whim.

"I forgot there was one more. I didn't expect it to be someone who was trying to play dumb and get away with it."

Just as Charles was feeling smug, a clear voice suddenly entered his ears.

Upon hearing the voices, Charles immediately realized what was happening and wanted to beg for mercy.

Unfortunately, Byron did not give him that opportunity.

Since you didn't want to talk before, then don't talk anymore.

A burst of flame silenced Charles's pleas for mercy, and he was unable to utter another word until he turned to ashes.

........

Back in his room, Byron sat in a chair, closed his eyes slightly, and entered his mental sea.

Looking at the contract mark floating above his mental sea, Byron was uncertain whether his mark was still in his mentor's hands even though everything was over.

Or rather, will the supervisor still care about me?

However, Byron had already made up his mind.

Unless reinforcements arrive, I definitely won't go to Baron Verra's castle to find that god.

Even if that deity possessed many hidden things and contained a great deal of knowledge, he would not risk his life.

If he doesn't receive a response, he will leave immediately and return to the academy as quickly as possible, without wasting a single minute.

Byron channeled his spiritual power into the contract mark, his eyes fixed intently on its changes.

Fortunately, Isolde had previously told him about the method of connecting with her through the brand, otherwise he wouldn't have even had the chance to try.

Time passed slowly, and before long, the mark suddenly burst forth with a ray of light.

Upon seeing this familiar scene, Byron immediately withdrew his spiritual power and breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the contract mark is still in the mentor's hands and has been successfully connected; otherwise, the contract mark wouldn't be in this state.

A few breaths later, the contract mark transformed into Isolde's figure, standing in mid-air.

At this moment, Isolde was dressed in a deep purple wizard's robe, which enveloped her exquisite figure.

Isolde looked calmly at Byron, her red lips slightly parted, and her clear, cold voice immediately resounded in Byron's mind.

"Byron, didn't I tell you that things at the academy are over? Are you sure you're back safely? Why didn't you hurry back to the academy? Why did you choose to contact me? What happened?"

Upon hearing Isolde's question, Byron did not hide anything and immediately told Isolde everything that had happened to him, as well as the information he had obtained from Azer.

As Isolde listened to Byron's account, the light in her eyes grew brighter, and even a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

After Byron finished speaking, Isolde immediately asked a question.

"Byron, are you sure they were praying to a god and receiving power from him, and that god descended from heaven?"

Byron nodded: "That's what the man said, and I didn't see anything unusual in his expression when he said it, so that must be it."

After saying this, Byron keenly sensed that there must be something he didn't know, and that it was related to his own situation, so he immediately asked about it.

"Mentor, is there some hidden story behind this?"

Isolde had no intention of hiding anything and immediately recounted the events involving the void creatures.

Listening to Isolde's account, Byron felt as if he were truly there, standing on that hill, witnessing the battle between the Stigmata Wizard and the Void Creatures.

Unfortunately, Byron never saw it with his own eyes and could only rely on his imagination.

No, we need to go back and see if Elena or Corin recorded that scene with a crystal ball.

Although there's still a layer in between, at least there's a picture, and I don't have to imagine it myself anymore.

Just as Byron was reflecting on this, Isolde also expressed his judgment.

"If I'm not mistaken, the god you encountered must have fallen from that void creature."

At this point, Isolde looked at Byron with a smile in her eyes.

"You're really lucky. Your spatial ability prevented you from getting caught up in that bloody trial."

"Now, you've run into such good fortune again. You have no idea how fiercely those students fought over those dropped items."

"And all you have to do is deal with those believers who have been brainwashed by that unknown god to get the reward. If Elena knew, she would cry her eyes out."

Upon hearing this, Byron pictured Elena's reaction to the news and laughed.

Isolde spoke again: "You deal with those believers. As for the gods, once you see them, just like now, ask me to take care of them. I will handle them. You are not capable of dealing with them now."

Byron's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He hadn't expected his mentor to be so understanding; she had spoken up before he could even say it himself, which made him feel incredibly embarrassed.

Byron nodded hastily, afraid his mentor would change his mind: "Yes, mentor, I will call upon you the moment I see that god!"

Isolde glanced at Byron, said nothing more about his behavior, and then changed the subject.

"However, since I've made the move, I naturally have to take a share of the profits. You need to understand that."

Byron had anticipated this and had no objection.

After all, he wouldn't have bothered with that god if Isolde hadn't intervened.

In that case, he wouldn't get a share of the profits, let alone anything else.

As the saying goes, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," he was not greedy.

Seeing that Byron had no objections, Isolde nodded in satisfaction.

"In that case, I have nothing more to say. Call me when you encounter a deity."

Seeing that Isolde was about to leave, Byron quickly called out to stop her, "Master, wait! I have something I'd like to ask you!"

Upon hearing this, Isolde's figure, which was about to dissipate, suddenly stopped: "Didn't everything already be agreed upon? Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Byron chuckled: "Master, didn't you say there are certain taboos in this mortal kingdom that cannot be violated? So, would my attack on those believers violate those taboos?"

"Besides that, I also want to know some information about the gods, and I am willing to exchange some benefits for the right to know this information."

Isolde was surprised that Byron had stopped her to ask about these things.

That's normal, though; any wizard has plenty of curiosity when faced with the unknown.

Isolde: "I can tell you what you want to know without charging any extra."

"After all, I'm not only your mentor who needs to teach you, but I also took a share of the profits, didn't I?"
