Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

They walked in silence. White led Byron to a large, stone and wood farm, a far cry from the thatched huts they had seen in the village.

White hurriedly pushed open the tightly closed gate of the farm and said obsequiously, "My lord wizard, this is my farm. Please don't find it offensive."

Byron nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Led by White, the two sat down in a room with a distinctly medieval feel.

After refusing White's offer of service, Byron went straight to the point and asked, "How did you know I was a wizard?"

Upon hearing this, White trembled and, without hesitation, quickly began to explain.

"Please forgive me, sir. The reason I know you are a powerful wizard is because I saw other wizards when I was a child, and you and they were wearing the exact same clothes."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Byron's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had not been teleported to any distant place and was still within the territory of the Dark Erosion Wizard Academy.

That makes things much simpler. He just needs to figure out where he is and then confirm the direction of the academy, and then he can go back.

It's as simple as putting an elephant in a refrigerator.

As for why Byron was so certain, it was because he was wearing the wizard's robes that the academy had issued.

If White wasn't lying...

Byron narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at White: "Are you telling the truth?"

Upon seeing this, White's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knelt on the ground again, saying in fear:

"I wouldn't dare deceive you, sir; everything I said is true!"

"When I first met that wizard, I was very young. Although so many years have passed, I have never forgotten his esteemed presence!"

Byron: "How do you remember this so clearly after all this time?"

White: "That's because at that time, our area was plagued by monsters, causing widespread suffering. That wizard was there to deal with these monsters, which is why I remember it so clearly."

Hearing this, Byron nodded slightly. Through White's words, he also understood why the wizard had come here.

He must have accepted a mission from the academy's mission hall, which is why he came here.

That makes sense.

Thinking this, Byron nodded slightly: "I'll trust you this once. Get up."

White was overjoyed, his eyes filled with excitement as he looked at Byron: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Byron waved his hand, interrupting him: "Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. I have some questions for you."

White stood to the side, nodding hurriedly.

"Do you know where this is? Are there any unusual places around here? Do you have a map of the area...?"

Byron immediately answered all the questions he had asked.

After saying this, Byron saw White's anxious and helpless look and waved his hand.

"Alright, don't rush to answer these questions. We'll answer them one by one, but please don't talk nonsense, otherwise..."

White was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly: "I wouldn't dare, sir, I wouldn't dare to lie to you in any way."

White then began to answer Byron's questions cautiously.

After an unknown amount of time, watching White's departing figure, Byron gained some insights, but not much; he was left with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

The worry is that, despite White being the village head, his sphere of influence is limited to the area around the village, and he only knows that they all belong to Viscount Lorenz's territory.

As for the places I visited, I simply wandered around a few other villages that were also under the jurisdiction of that viscount.

Not to mention a map, we don't even know the official name of this place.

This thwarted Byron's plan to learn the name of the place from him and then confirm his idea through the college map.

Fortunately, according to White, there is a city in the Kingdom of Frostbite about a hundred kilometers southeast of Graystone Village, where he should be able to find what he needs.

Byron knew about the Kingdom of Frostbite; it was recorded in the academy library.

It is a country on the Dark Erosion Wizarding Academy peninsula, surrounded by two other wizarding academies at its innermost edge.

The territory of this kingdom was several times larger than the island of Byron's kingdom.

However, Byron also noticed that the three houses had a rather ambiguous attitude towards this kingdom, as if they were all detached from it and not close to it.

Aside from returning once to recruit apprentices, the academy only sends people to deal with monsters when they appear in the kingdom.

At other times, the three academies acted as if the kingdom did not exist, and their attitude was very strange.

Moreover, there is a blind spot here: if the academy can recruit apprentices in this kingdom, why would it go to their island to recruit them?

Isn't this going the long way around?

Could it be related to that incident?

Byron also remembered the conversation between Andrei and Clevin as he boarded the ferry across the sea.

After thinking for a while, Byron stopped thinking about it.

After all, the most important thing right now is to figure out where we are.

"Buzz—"

Just then, Byron suddenly felt a buzzing sound coming from his mental sea.

Byron's expression immediately changed drastically, and he quickly checked the anomaly that had appeared in his mental sea.

For a wizard, the most important and crucial place is the spiritual sea.

After all, for wizards, a broken body can be replaced, and a problem with magic can be recreated.

However, if there is a problem with one's mental state, then that person is truly ruined.

Because the spiritual sea is where the wizard's spiritual power resides, and also where his soul is located.

Byron entered his mental sea with a serious expression and immediately knew what was causing that buzzing sound.

This thing is none other than the contractual mark formed when Byron signed the student loan agreement with the college when he enrolled.

I had always overlooked it, thinking it only had a location function, but I didn't expect it to have other hidden functions.

Thinking of this, Byron narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he would have to use his All-Knowing Eye to analyze this mark and see what else he didn't know was hidden inside.

After clarifying the issue, we must find a way to solve it.

Even if he cannot remove it and needs it to remain in his mental sea, he needs to have the ability to counter it or be able to eliminate it completely in an instant.

Otherwise, Byron suspected that he might die an unclear death at some point.

With these thoughts in mind, Byron continued to stand at the edge of his mental sea, quietly watching the increasingly clear imprint of the voice.

He wanted to see what kind of trouble this mark would cause this time.

A few breaths later, the voice of the mark suddenly stopped and burst into a dazzling light, even illuminating Byron's mental sea.

Byron kept his eyes glued to everything, not daring to relax for a moment.

As the light dimmed again, Byron could see the mark clearly once more.

But when he saw the contract mark clearly, he was completely dumbfounded, and his eyes kept twitching.
