Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

Chapter 166 Exchange

As for Byron and Eliza, after leaving the Belek slave trading company, they went to Eliza's dormitory.

Byron sat on the sofa, and Eliza looked at him with a smile and asked, "Black tea or something else?"

Byron: "Black tea will do, no need for anything complicated."

After pouring Byron a cup of black tea, Eliza plopped down opposite him.

Byron looked at Eliza and went straight to the point, asking, "You mentioned several times in your letters to my lab that you had something to discuss with me. What is it that's making you so anxious?"

Inessa seemed to have anticipated Byron's directness, showing no sign of surprise, but instead of answering Byron's question directly, she asked him a question in return.

"Byron, do you remember what I said on the ferry that took us to the academy?"

Looking at the smiling Inessa in front of him, Byron didn't know why she suddenly brought this up, or what she really wanted to ask.

Byron pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively.

"What you said? Could it be about your ancestors? And is your eagerness to discuss this with me also related to your ancestors?"

Eliza hadn't expected Byron to guess what she was going to say so quickly, and after giving Byron a deep look, she sighed.

"Byron, of the three of us, you are the most insightful and intelligent. Not to mention Gray, even I am a step behind you."

"That's right, what I wanted to discuss with you is exactly as you think."

Upon hearing this, Byron's expression changed.

He originally thought it was just some minor matter between friends who needed to discuss it with him or ask for his help, but he never expected it would involve the official wizard behind Eliza.

The official wizard was far away at the White Tower Wizarding Academy, a million miles away, and had no control over him whatsoever.

But he was, after all, a formal wizard, and it was never too much to take him seriously.

Eliza was taken aback by Byron's serious demeanor.

She then realized what was happening, a look of bewilderment appearing on her face, and she waved her hands repeatedly to explain.

"I'm sorry, Byron, I didn't explain clearly. It's not as serious as you think. It's not that my ancestor, a formal wizard, has something to discuss with you."

"Not long ago, through my mentor's contact channels, my ancestor sent me a message saying that in two years, the three major academies will launch an expedition to explore a brand new other world."

"And this operation allows wizard apprentices to participate, so my ancestor told me to try my best to get involved in it."

"They said it would be of great benefit to my future path as a wizard."

"But since he is a member of the White Tower Wizarding Academy, he cannot give me a spot there. I have to find a way from the Dark Erosion Wizarding Academy myself."

"As for the Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy, besides the academy itself holding some spots, there is also a wizard apprentice named Byron who holds those spots. I presume that Byron is you."

After hearing Eliza's explanation, Byron found it both funny and absurd. He hadn't expected that after going around in circles, it all came down to the quota for the exploration mission to another world.

After learning what had happened, Byron looked at Eliza's expectant eyes and, without hiding anything, nodded frankly.

"Eliza, you're right. I do have some spots available, but there are only two left now. I've already traded away the other seven. If you need them, I can sell you one of them."

"After all, it doesn't matter who you sell to. Selling to someone you can trust provides an extra layer of security during operations, doesn't it?"

As he spoke, Byron smiled and winked at Eliza.

Upon seeing this, Eliza's smile became even brighter.

"Thank you so much."

"But Eliza, what level of wizard apprentice are you now? You need to know that it's a completely new other world. While the things there are incredibly tempting, the hidden threats are also considerable. If you don't have enough strength, I hope you can think it over carefully before making a decision."

Upon hearing Byron's words, Eliza rolled her eyes at him, feigning annoyance.

"Byron, although I admit you are very capable, I am not bad either, and my talent is even better than yours. You have already become a third-class wizard apprentice, how could I fall behind you?"

Upon hearing this, Byron gave an awkward smile and scratched his head.

This was indeed an oversight on his part. Although Eliza's aptitude was not much different from his own, he shouldn't forget that she had a formal wizard ancestor as her backer.

He even mentioned the limited spots to Eliza, hoping she could try her best, so he must have provided her with a lot of financial support.

Seeing Byron awkwardly scratching his head, Eliza burst out laughing.

"Alright, Byron, don't be like that. I know you meant well by reminding me, and I was just joking."

.

Eliza seemed to remember something, her expression turned serious, and she asked.

"Byron, I'd like to ask, what price must be paid to obtain a spot?"

"And you don't need to lower the price just because of our friendship. You can even raise the price a little bit, after all, my ancestors paid for this for me, hehe————"

At this point, Eliza chuckled and gave Byron a knowing look.

Byron smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

However, setting a price for a single spot is indeed a bit difficult.

Because so far, the two transactions he has completed have both been large transactions involving three or four slots, and he has never sold a single slot before, so he doesn't know how to price it.

After a moment's thought, Byron briefly explained the details of the two deals he had completed to Eliza.

Eliza was completely bewildered after hearing this and didn't know what to do.

Just then, Byron spoke again, a wicked smile on his face, saying, "Eliza, would your ancestor mind contributing a little more blood to support you?"

Eliza frowned slightly, unsure of what Byron meant, and nodded hesitantly, saying, "I think that should be fine."

Upon hearing this, Byron clapped his hands: "That makes things much easier!"

Byron then told Eliza about the exchange plan: he would give her a spot and a potion to transform her spiritual power in exchange for a method to create a rune cycle.

Eliza frowned slightly upon hearing about the exchange method.

"Byron, isn't this a loss for you? A potion that transforms mental energy and a method to create a cycle with runes should be equivalent. Doesn't this mean you've given away a spot for nothing?"

"That won't do. How can I let you suffer a loss?"

Byron smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, Eliza, I know what I'm doing. I won't be taken advantage of. Just tell your ancestor about this plan and ask him if he agrees."

"If he agrees, you might be able to directly meet two of the five conditions for becoming a full-fledged wizard."

.

Seeing Byron's expression, Eliza knew he wasn't lying or that he was saying this because of their friendship, so she felt relieved.

"Alright, I'll contact the ancestor through my mentor now and ask for his opinion."

At this point, Eliza gave Byron an apologetic smile.

"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you, but you'll have to wait here for a while. I don't want to wait another six months to get your reply."
