Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

Chapter 161 The Cruelty of the Great Expedition

"President, I still have a question in my mind, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."

Byron suddenly spoke, looking at Dylan.

Dylan was taken aback at first, then smiled and waved his hand: "Just say it first, and let me know what your question is before I answer it."

"However, if it involves anything confidential, then I can't say. Byron, please don't be angry."

Byron: "Don't worry, President, I'm not that kind of person."

After saying this, Byron voiced his question.

"Guild Master, I see you are all so eager to become official wizards, so why bother spending time adventuring in that other world?"

"Even if it's a completely new world where you can harvest some resources and explore unknown knowledge, once you become a formal wizard, you can still go to other worlds and fight in the footsteps of the Saint Mark Wizards."

"If we can obtain these things anyway, why risk such a high price at this stage?"

Byron's words left not only Dylan speechless, but also Ivan and Elena, somewhat bewildered.

Dylan frowned slightly, as if pondering how to answer Byron's question.

After a long while, Dylan finally relaxed his brows, a wry smile on his face, and slowly began to speak.

"To be honest, Dylan, I didn't expect you to ask me this question, but it's not a big deal. Besides, in order to build mutual trust in future operations, I can answer your question."

Upon hearing this, Byron sat up slightly, looking at Dylan and waiting for him to speak.

"Byron, to tell you the truth, the three of us have already qualified for baptism, and we can advance to become full-fledged wizards at any time if we want."

"The reason we didn't rush to become formal wizards is because we heard about the possibility of going to another world, and we truly witnessed the cruelty of the Great Expedition during this trial."

As if to confirm Dylan's words, Ivan and the other man nodded solemnly, while Dylan continued speaking.

"Byron, since you know that becoming a formal wizard allows you to embark on the Great Expedition, you should also know that the Wizarding Council will give you two hundred years to adapt after you become a formal wizard."

Byron nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood the matter.

Seeing this, Dylan breathed a sigh of relief, seemingly more relaxed than before, and began to speak more casually.

"Participating in the Great Crusade is something every formal wizard wants to do and must do."

"But behind the Great Expedition lies not only a ladder to advancement and endless knowledge, but also endless danger and death. A slight misstep could lead to your demise in another world."

"Can you imagine that during this trial, we saw an army of otherworldly creatures occupying half the sky, while the other half was occupied by wizards and their soul slaves?"

Upon hearing this, Byron seemed to see the scene Dylan had described: the entire blue sky was divided in two, with the opposing sides each occupying a distinct half.

Once the bugle call to attack sounds, a death-defying charge will ensue, with both sides locked in a fierce battle, each side fighting the other.

Byron knew that in such a scenario, unless one possessed the strength of a Saint Mark Wizard, no matter how powerful one was, it would be useless; one would only become one of the many in this blood and flesh millstone.

Just as Byron was imagining that horrific scene, Dylan's voice once again reached his ears, beginning to describe the real and brutal battle.

"The two sides fought endlessly across the sky and the earth. Every second, people died, fell to the ground, or turned into dust. The entire sky and the earth were stained red with blood."

"I've heard some formal wizards talk about this kind of scene. It's considered a relatively small conflict in the conquest of this other world because it's already in the later stages of the war."

"So Byron, can you imagine how fierce the fighting would be in the early stages of a war!"

As he spoke, Dylan's voice trembled slightly, whether from shock or excitement, it was hard to tell.

Byron nodded silently. If it were in the early stages of the war, the wizards would not have had such a great advantage, and the intensity of the war and the extent of wizard casualties would have been beyond imagination.

Whether they are open or dark wizards, they will face great danger during this period.

The light wizards will face large-scale battles and be engulfed in an endless ocean of enemies, while the dark wizards will need to infiltrate every corner of the other world to gather intelligence on this world.

Because at that time the wizards had just entered a new world, they could not have complete control over information or other things.

This requires countless wizards to explore and explore, which is the mission of these dark wizards.

In this process, some wizards may discover new world secrets and gain new knowledge, while others may face deadly perils. No wizard can guarantee that they will return safely.

"So after truly witnessing the cruelty of the Great Expedition, we also realized that whether it was the usual tasks or the trials organized by the academy, all of these were just child's play compared to the Great Expedition, and were not worthy of being taken seriously."

"Under such circumstances, in order to become a formal wizard and, after truly participating in the Great Crusade, to go as far as possible on the path of wizarding to explore the truth and see more of the unknown wonders, we must do everything we can to increase our chances of survival."

"The 200-year adaptation period granted by the Wizarding Council is neither long nor short."

"If we have ample resources and new knowledge to research, it will greatly increase our chances of survival during the first Great Expedition; otherwise, well…"

Dylan stopped there, shaking his head and chuckling softly.

Byron, of course, knew what Dylan meant by what he didn't finish saying.

Without new knowledge and sufficient resources for them to study, they will not be able to quickly adapt to the formal wizard stage, or even improve their strength.

Faced with the unfamiliar first major expeditionary war, their fate would be sealed.

Byron didn't ask any further questions, but nodded slightly and said gratefully, "Thank you for telling me this information, Chairman."

Dylan waved his hand slightly and smiled, "Sigh, why talk about this?"

"If it weren't for you being able to provide the coordinates of that new other world and allow us, the ultimate wizard apprentices, to enter it..."

"We also did not have the opportunity to acquire sufficient resources and knowledge to cope with the great expedition before we were promoted to full wizards."

"In that case, we should be thanking you."
