Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

Upon hearing this, Byron's expression froze, instantly turning blank.

The three of them turned around almost simultaneously to look in the direction from which the sound came from.

The person who was standing behind them and speaking just now was none other than Knuth, whom they had coincidentally met in the mission hall earlier.

He looked at Byron and the other two with a mocking and angry expression, as if to say, "You uncouth people dare to decipher potion recipes?!"

Upon seeing this person, the anger that Byron, Gray, and Eliza had felt vanished instantly, replaced by amusement and pity.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the three men, Knuth instantly lost his composure, jumped up and down on the spot, and roared angrily.

"What kind of looks are those? Are you pitying me? I don't need your pity!"

"I'm telling you, I'm different from you. I'm confident that I can use my knowledge and wisdom to achieve results that will astound everyone, unlike you who only rely on luck..."

As Knus shouted, passersby on the long street of the workshop turned to look at Byron and his group, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Byron noticed the gazes of the crowd, glanced at the furious Knuth, and feeling somewhat bored, turned to look at Eliza and the other two.

"Let's go. Don't let him waste our time. We still have a lot of things to do later."

Eliza chuckled and nodded, then turned to leave.

But how could the furious Knuth let the three of them leave so easily!

Seeing that the group was about to leave, he quickly took a few steps to block their path and said disdainfully.

"As expected of fresh-faced newbies, all they want to do is run away when something happens. How could you possibly find the Worm Crystal in such a short time..."

But before Knus could finish speaking, a sudden surge of power climbed into his heart, causing him to tremble and freeze in place, his words coming to a halt.

It was as if if he continued talking, he might, no, he would definitely die!

Byron had narrowed his eyes, exuding a terrifying aura, and looked at Knuth with a dangerous gaze, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"Who told you about this?"

Although the sound was soft, it seemed to Knuth possess an irresistible power at that moment.

Knus's eyes were filled with fear as he stammered out how he knew.

After hearing Knuth's words, Byron felt a little relieved; it seemed that the brown-haired salesman hadn't revealed much information.

I doubt many people will even notice me...

But when Byron thought about the current situation, he felt somewhat helpless.

When Byron first saw Knuth approaching him, he thought he had guessed it himself, but he didn't expect that it was the salesman who directly revealed it.

These salespeople have no confidentiality agreement? Thumbs down! Definitely a bad review!

"Byron, what's wrong? Has something happened?"

Gray asked with concern.

Upon hearing Gray's question, Byron snapped out of his reverie and waved his hand with a smile.

"It's nothing serious, don't worry."

Byron stopped worrying about the leaked information; after all, it had already happened, so what was the point of dwelling on it?

Moreover, this is not a big deal for him, so there is no need to worry too much.

As long as I continue to move forward, I will definitely be unable to hide my talents as before.

Moreover, as his strength continued to improve, he no longer needed to be as fearful as before and try his best to hide his special abilities.

Perhaps appropriately revealing some of his talents might help him acquire some unexpected things; it's all uncertain.

However, this does not mean that Byron would let the brown-haired salesman off so easily.

Although there was nothing he could do for her in the short term, at least he wouldn't have to go to her to exchange points again.

This incident taught Byron a lesson, and he learned to be more careful about such matters in the future.

Byron laughed and said, "Alright, let's go. We still need to eat and find a place to stay. We can't delay any longer."

Seeing that Byron was really alright, Gray smiled and nodded.

The crowd that had been watching the commotion on the workshop street was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events and stared blankly at the scene.

It wasn't until Byron and his two companions left the workshop that the people came to their senses and began to chatter amongst themselves.

The topic of conversation was nothing more than what exactly happened between the group and who that handsome young man was, who was already a second-class wizard apprentice at such a young age!

At this moment, no one noticed Knuth, who was still standing blankly on the long street, not daring to move.

After an unknown amount of time, Knus, standing on the street, finally dared to come to his senses, but dared not make the slightest move, and could only roar incessantly in his heart.

He looks so young, how could he possibly be a second-class wizard apprentice?! He's only been in the wizarding academy for a year!

He entered the academy five years earlier than him, but he still hadn't been able to break through to the second-level wizard apprentice level in those five years!

Does having good qualifications mean you can do whatever you want? That's not fair!!!

The thought that he was only a first-class aptitude and had remained a first-class wizard apprentice for so long, unable to advance to a second-class wizard apprentice, was daunting.

Even when participating in missions, they have to find alternative paths, such as studying those dirty insects to gain knowledge and acquire resources.

Unlike his classmates like Coron, who directly explored the secret realm to prepare for becoming a formal wizard!

Thinking of all this, Knuth looked in the direction Byron had left, his eyes filled with jealousy.

.........

"Knus, Knus, do you know what's going on?! You really shouldn't have left so soon. You have no idea what happened in the mission hall after you left!"

Just as Knus returned to his residence in a daze, the young man with a horse-like face who had accompanied him to the mission hall shouted excitedly.

Knus listlessly glanced at the horse-faced youth, but said nothing.

However, the horse-faced youth ignored Knuth's reaction and proceeded to recount in detail what had happened in the mission hall.

"Knus, you have no idea, someone actually came back alive from that forbidden desert, and even brought back information about what happened inside! It's unbelievable!"

"And you know what, it's interesting, but one of the knowledge items that person exchanged overlaps with yours. The name of that knowledge item seems to be 'Analysis and Application Methods of Worm Crystal Exoskeleton Structure'."

"By the way, Knuth, what's the name of the research you've been working on? You..."

As Knus listened to the horse-faced youth's words, the image of Byron's handsome young face and his terrifying aura and strength suddenly appeared in his mind.

Thinking back to his conflict with him in the workshop, Knuth's heart pounded and his face flushed.

Seeing Knus's reaction, the horse-faced youth assumed that Knus was also impressed by what he had said, and became even more excited, continuing to recount what he knew.

"Knus, you're also a researcher, you should know how much impact this new knowledge will have on this city."

"Many organizations within the academy are currently searching for information about that person, presumably intending to recruit him."

"After all, he's the only one who knows the situation in the forbidden desert area right now. Those people can only get in by relying on him, so you can imagine..."

"Bang—!"

Just as the horse-faced youth was saying this, a muffled thud interrupted him.

Knus finally couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes rolled upwards, and he collapsed to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the horse-faced youth's eyes narrowed, and he wanted to cry out in surprise.

But then he seemed to remember something, looked around, and when he found no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Knus lying on the ground, he smiled, quickly bent down, and stretched out his evil hands.
