Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

With Conrad gone, the other wizards relaxed as well.

One of the wizards, who appeared to be middle-aged, looked at the light and remarked, "This mandatory mission is quite a big deal."

The old man nodded: "Indeed, it's been many years since I've encountered such a forced task. I remember the last time was more than 20 years ago."

As soon as these two wizards spoke, the other wizards also started talking, each chiming in with their own opinions.

"Indeed, and the losses from that mission were exceptionally heavy."

"I wonder how many people will make it out alive this time."

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. In the last academy competition, our academy's performance was indeed quite poor, and we actually came in last place, which made the dean and the others lose face."

"If you ask me, all future missions should follow this standard, and the entire academy should even revert to the old training program for dark wizards."

Just then, the wizard, who was completely shrouded in a long robe, spoke up with a cold snort.

"Let these apprentices grow through constant fighting and deception, so that they can become qualified dark wizards."

"Instead of what we're doing now, learning from the White Wizard Academy, learning a hodgepodge, with few becoming truly talented, and wasting so many resources to train them."

Upon hearing this, a young-looking wizard retorted, "Like before? Who knows how many more people would die? These are people from our original plane, not cannon fodder from those plane-modifying projects!"

"Besides, what makes you say that very few succeed? Hasn't the number of people becoming certified wizards at the academy increased significantly in recent years?!"

"It's much better than before when very few people could become official wizards!"

"Who would gamble?!"

The robed wizard scoffed, "Quantity's increased, but what about quality?!"

The young wizard protested, "As long as the numbers increase, there will always be one or two who succeed. Besides, the others who are ordinary are also a force to be reckoned with. It's better than them dying out during their apprenticeship, alright!"

Hearing the two arguing, the old man beside them quickly interrupted, "Alright, alright, stop arguing."

"Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, but these are not things we can decide. We just need to do our own thing."

Seeing that the two were still arguing, the old man's tone turned cold: "Are my words completely useless?!"

At the same time, a suffocating chill spread across the platform, and a sense of fear crept into the hearts of the two.

At this, both the robed wizard and the young wizard lowered their heads slightly, not daring to say anything more.

Seeing this, the old man regained his previous smile: "Alright, let's see if there are any students still in the academy who haven't participated in the mission."

At this moment, no one dared to contradict the old man, and together they began to investigate the entire academy using their temporary access privileges.

Of course, no one dared to offend the territories of those formal wizards.

"no."

"I haven't found any trainees staying here either."

"I didn't find it either."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the old man smiled and nodded: "Alright, since no one is stopping, it's time for us to go in. Once inside, remember what you should and shouldn't do."

At this point, the old man squinted and scanned the wizards present.

"If you break any taboos, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Several formal wizards shook their heads repeatedly, saying they dared not.

Seeing this, the old man didn't say anything more, but he knew in his heart that these wizards had complicated origins and different stances.

Even he couldn't completely prevent those things from happening unless the vice president himself came.

So as long as it's not too excessive, he won't say anything more.

"Alright, as long as you know it in your heart, go in and set up the framework first."

Before the words were even finished, the wizards disappeared from the platform and entered the teleportation portal.

At this point, the once bustling Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy seemed to have been put on pause, becoming silent and empty.

..........

Meanwhile, Byron, who followed the flow of people into the teleportation portal, immediately felt a sense of weightlessness.

This feeling of weightlessness was utterly insignificant to Byron at this moment.

The feeling of weightlessness lasted only a moment and quickly returned to normal.

After returning to normal, Byron found himself in a desert with grayish-white crystalline particles.

This desert stretches as far as the eye can see, with countless sand dunes standing bare of vegetation.

A dazzling sun hung in the sky, radiating blinding light.

Countless tiny grains of sand, blown by the wind, refracted the light, making the whole world seem shrouded in a pale blue glow.

At that moment, he looked around and realized that he was the only one standing alone in this desert.

This must mean that the students who were crowding around him earlier were separated during the teleportation process.

Looking around and finding nothing unusual, Byron did not act rashly and tried his best to suppress his magical fluctuations.

In unknown territory, Byron did not intend to take any action before clarifying the situation.

At this point, the best approach is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

He then turned his gaze to the broken crystal shards in his hand.

This broken crystal piece appeared in the desert with him, and it must have been given to him by the academy.

"Omniscient, is there any danger in scanning?"

[Scan complete, information stored in crystal, no danger.]

Seeing this, Byron was finally relieved.

He recognized this thing; it was a product of the wizarding world, and like the knowledge crystal, it could store information.

However, these two are worlds apart; knowledge crystals can store enormous amounts of information and knowledge.

However, it has very limited storage capacity, so it is mostly used for leaving messages or temporarily recording information.

"Omniscient, read the contents of this crystal fragment, organize them, and transmit them to me."

[Reading complete, processing complete, transfer complete.]

Byron felt a vague sensation, as if something had entered, yet also as if nothing was there, and was somewhat speechless.

Although he knew this thing could store little information, it shouldn't be this little; it was a complete waste that he had the All-Knowing Eye organize it.

After silently complaining to himself, he looked at the information that appeared in his mind.

The information crystal only recorded two pieces of information.

The first message told Byron where the wizard's residence was, and gave him a clear location and direction.

The most important information, however, is the second piece of information, which describes the basic situation of this world.

This world is called the Netherworld Crystal Nest Plane, and it is a small semi-matter plane.

There are two main races in the plane: the Crystal Cave Worms and the Crystal Floaters.

The former live underground and have different classifications, while the latter live on the surface.

Because those messages mentioned a crucial point: prolonged exposure to the outside environment can lead to crystallization and erosion.

The physical body will slowly crystallize and harden, thus losing its vitality.

Only the large magic array set up at the wizard's residence can resist this erosion.
