Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

A few days later, Byron stood alone on the hill, glanced back at the ruined castle, and without hesitation or lingering, turned and walked into the depths.

After leaving the church, Byron did not leave the castle directly, but instead went to find the three nobles he had met earlier.

After all, there are still some things that need the help of these local bigwigs to get things done more smoothly.

For example, all the deeply devoted followers of Abultan could be purged, and those with only superficial faith could be made to stop believing in Abultan.

Even if ordinary people continue to offer faith to Abulan, the probability of him escaping is probably less than one in ten million.

But given Byron's character, he would absolutely not allow any future troubles, at least not while the thing was in his hands.

Therefore, he was willing to waste several days dealing with this problem to prevent future troubles.

Another thing is to help the innocent people.

After all, those people suffered this calamity because of him. I wouldn't say I feel a lot of guilt, but I do feel a little sympathy for them.

Besides, this matter didn't take up much of Byron's time or energy at the time; he only needed to give the order, so he did it without hesitation.

After cleaning up all the aftermath, Byron did not linger and quickly withdrew from his life of extravagance and power, choosing to leave without hesitation.

The remaining nobles in the castle breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing of Byron's departure.

After all, most of them had experienced what happened that day, so they were naturally filled with fear of Byron.

The remaining small group of people, although they had not experienced it, were not blind and could see the changes in the castle.

The common people's attitude towards Byron's departure was completely opposite to that of the nobles.

To tell you something quite absurd, they actually didn't harbor much resentment towards Byron, even though they knew that Byron was responsible for what happened that day.

But it was more awe than fear and anger.

The reason for this change is largely because the nobles had previously exploited them too much, treating them as less than human beings and killing them without hesitation.

During Byron's stay, they truly experienced what it's like to be human.

Byron was well aware of the starkly different attitudes the common people had towards him, but he remained silent and said nothing more.

You still have to rely on yourself!

.........

"boom--!!!"

A fireball exploded in mid-air, and a charred corpse fell from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.

Once Byron, who had been hiding behind a large tree, saw that the danger had passed, he slowly emerged from behind the tree and dispelled the "Light Refraction Concealment" spell.

Even so, Byron did not completely relax; his body remained alert, and his mind was also vigilant about his surroundings.

Byron became like this entirely as a result of the transformation he underwent during this period of baptism by blood and fire.

After leaving the castle, Byron did not return to the academy immediately, but instead took a short detour to the town where he had been teleported to.

He was penniless when he arrived, and White gave him a lot.

So no matter what, this matter still needs to be resolved.

Byron did not disturb the White family's normal life again. He left some money he had taken from the castle at the White family's house, left a note, and then quietly left.

Besides worrying about disturbing the White family, Byron was also concerned that, like last time, White might try to get his granddaughter to chat him up, which would be awkward.

After leaving the White family, Byron immediately headed towards the direction of the college.

For the first half of the journey, before entering the forest, Byron bought a carriage and traveled in it. Everything was so peaceful and uneventful.

However, once inside the forest, danger lurks everywhere, and one never knows when they might be attacked by monsters hidden within.

In previous incidents, Byron even sustained some injuries due to insufficient precautions.

However, after those lessons, Byron quickly realized what had happened and became more vigilant.

Although this method slows down the travel time, it is safer.

Furthermore, the forest surrounding the Dark Eclipse Academy is smallest and closest to the academy only in the section that touches the ocean; the journey to the academy from other places is at least several times longer than that section.

Therefore, Byron understood that with such a long distance and the current situation, he would definitely not be able to return to the academy in a short time.

In that case, it's better to prioritize your own safety first.

Smelling the aroma of meat wafting around him, and looking at the charred corpses at his feet, Byron showed no disgust.

He peeled away the charred feathers to reveal the meat inside, which was cooked through by the high temperature and was full of juice.

Byron tore off a piece of thigh meat and ate it directly.

He needed to hurry up and eat; the commotion here was so loud that it would soon attract other magical beasts.

As for whether this stuff is edible or poisonous, who is Byron? A potion master! In terms of knowledge about materials, no one can surpass him except for those alchemists.

After finishing his meal, Byron didn't linger any longer. After getting his bearings, he continued heading towards the academy.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Byron's expression suddenly changed.

He tiptoed toward a large tree that looked as if it had been swiftly severed by a sharp blade, with a smooth cut on the ground.

Walking to the fallen tree, Byron looked at the blood splattered on it and the thick layer of fallen leaves.

Instead of using elemental power or witchcraft to help him clear away the pile of fallen leaves, he used his feet to do so.

The reason for doing this was not because I was worried about damaging the corpse buried under the fallen leaves, but because I was worried that the fluctuations in elemental and magical power would cause unnecessary trouble.

If he really cared about the corpses below, he wouldn't have used his feet.

Before long, the thick layer of fallen leaves was cleared away, revealing the partially rotten corpse buried beneath.

It was a woman, and she was quite pretty.

How could Byron know she was good-looking when she had already started to rot?

That's because Byron recognized the body and knew what she looked like when she was alive.

And this person was none other than the salesman who leaked Byron's information when Byron first returned to the wizard's camp in the Nether Crystal Nest plane.

Byron remained unmoved as he looked at the corpse at his feet and at the lingering fear on her rotting face.

He had originally planned to demand an explanation from this person after returning to the academy, and that the matter would not be over until he received some compensation.

Who would have thought that she would die so quietly?

If he hadn't passed by, the body might have remained undiscovered as bones and decay.

As for feelings of emotion or regret, Byron showed no sign of it on his face, remaining as calm as ever.

He wasn't familiar with this person, and they even had a grudge against each other. What feelings could there be between them? Why would he show that kind of expression?

Why would someone go to the trouble of clearing away the fallen leaves just to catch a glimpse of a corpse?

Please, Byron wasn't that bored.

He brushed aside the fallen leaves because this woman still owed him compensation, and although she was dead, the debt was not yet settled.

Byron will definitely get it back!
