Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

Chapter 149 Outrageous Rumors

The general plot of the rumor is that a powerful higher world is at war with the wizarding world.

One of the world's rulers wanted to understand the specifics of the wizarding world so that he could gain the upper hand in future wars.

It chose to hide within the soul of a servant of a legitimate wizard who was preparing to return to the wizarding world for some reason, and followed that legitimate wizard back to the wizarding world.

It was clever enough to gather intelligence and understand the wizarding world, and it didn't hide within the soul of a formal wizard, but instead chose his servant.

Unfortunately, the ruler of that world was unaware of the relationship between wizards and soul servants.

So as soon as it possessed the servant, the servant's master noticed it and reported it to the Wizard Council.

In response to this situation, the Wizarding Council did not directly arrest him, but allowed him to use the servant to gather intelligence about the wizarding world.

Of course, the information that it was allowed to know was what the Wizarding Council wanted it to know, and most of the information released was similar to what Byron had seen.

But the world's ruler didn't know that after receiving the information, he genuinely believed it was obtained through his own efforts and transmitted all the information back to his own world.

The world that obtained the intelligence also gathered most of its strength based on the intelligence and devised a surprise attack plan to drive the wizarding world out.

The consequences are predictable.

That world could have held on for a long time, but because of this, it was completely occupied by the wizard expeditionary force not long after.

As for the World Lord who was hidden in the soul of that official wizard's servant, he was later turned into that official wizard's servant by the Wizard Council.

It's foolish to say it did so by directly possessing the wizard's servant with its own soul.

Did it not understand the relationship between the servant and the wizard, or what kind of contract they had signed, before possessing the body?

And it didn't know that both formal wizards and their servants would be subject to strict checks when returning to the wizarding world.

This is to prevent such things from happening.

While we cannot confirm the truth of this rumor, one thing is certain.

In this wizarding world where knowledge is highly valued, how could you possibly learn something so easily?

Unless that knowledge is outdated, like the knowledge of those ancient wizards.

Isolde looked at Byron, who was staring at the briefing and had fallen silent, and said softly.

"So, Byron, now you should understand the differences between various research results, and the weight of an outstanding achievement."

"Although it is not as groundbreaking as an epoch-making achievement that can change the course of the entire wizarding civilization, nor as top-notch as a set of rules for a certain level, nor as outstanding as a result of promoting the improvement and progress of a particular industry."

"Although excellence applies to a specific process or technology, it is not as grand as the three mentioned above."

"But its emergence will also change the lives and research methods of countless wizards, and the benefits behind it are extremely tempting."

"So, let's not even talk about whether you can achieve outstanding results. Even if you do, I hope you won't give up because of a mere fifty years of working time."

"Although fifty years may seem like a very long time to you now, that's because you're still a short-lived species, only a teenager."

"But if you become a formal wizard and transform into an immortal being, possessing a lifespan of thousands of years, then fifty years is just a blink of an eye, not worth mentioning at all."

At this point, Isolde paused, then said slowly.

"Do you know why I came to the Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy to become an instructor and teach you?"

Byron shook his head in confusion. Weren't we just talking about research findings and the situation of formal wizards? How did we suddenly jump to this topic?

Don't stop talking, he wants to keep listening.

Although this knowledge cannot improve his strength and does not provide him with any substantial help now, it can broaden his horizons and knowledge, so that he will not be completely clueless after becoming a formal wizard.

Everything requires you to figure it out slowly on your own, and you never know how many pitfalls you can avoid.

From this point of view alone, it is simply invaluable.

However, Isolde could not hear Byron's thoughts, so she did not know what he was thinking at that moment, and therefore could not do as Byron wished.

However, if they could hear Byron's true feelings, they would more likely not continue to agree with Byron, but rather slap him to death.

When we kindly tried to persuade and comfort him, he took our advice and comfort as a way to acquire knowledge, which was utterly outrageous.

But then again, aren't all wizards like this, constantly pursuing knowledge and truth, just to understand the world?

So whether it's better to slap them to death or feel relieved is really hard to say.

Isolde explained slowly, "The scholarship contract I signed during my apprenticeship has long been fulfilled, and I'm here now to fulfill another contract."

"My contract with the Potions Alliance is a contract that lasts for a hundred years, completely taking up my rest time between mandatory missions."

"But you know what? I don't regret the current situation. In fact, in the future, in order to learn more advanced potion-making knowledge, I will continue to sign contracts with the Potions Alliance and work for them."

There was one thing Isolde didn't tell Byron: what if she could train a student who became a Potions Master and joined the Potions League during his apprenticeship?

Then she could end the contract early, finish her teaching stint decades earlier, and return to the Twelve Sacred Towers.

Of course, this incident will not have a significant impact on Byron; the biggest impact might simply be that he will no longer have a mentor.

It was with this factor in mind that Isolde was now telling Byron about these advancements to formal wizards, and some information about what comes after becoming a formal wizard.

In this way, both sides can be considered to have achieved their goals.

After listening to Isolde's words, Byron nodded in silence.

Perhaps I am truly influenced by my past life and my current age in this life, which is why I value those fifty years so much.

Even a wizard like Isolde, in his pursuit of knowledge, inevitably has to sign contracts and serve others, so why does he feel that he is the most special one?

Seeing Byron's expression, Isolde knew he had finally figured things out, so she didn't say anything more and instead asked him if he had any other questions.

Upon hearing this, Byron instantly shook off his previous EMO and reflection, and quickly asked his question.

Reflection? EMO? They're all insignificant compared to knowledge that can be obtained for free!

In the back-and-forth questioning, the questions that had been weighing on Byron's mind were answered one by one.

After answering the questions, Isolde led Byron away from the underground and back to the surface.

After emerging from the Isolde Spire, Byron smiled gently as he looked at the blue sky and white clouds floating above the academy and headed towards the academy library.
