Chapter 83 Lord Mara's Orders

However, although Olivia said she would contact Starheart to confirm the information.

But in reality, she didn't find the Heart of the Star immediately. Instead, she changed back into her wizard attire before returning to the academy. She then climbed the Star Tower and made her way to the upper levels.

Finally, we entered a study on the top floor.

Inside the study, a wizard was already engrossed in reviewing documents. Noticing Olivia enter, she put down the documents and asked with a smile, "Little Olivia, what brings you here?"

Olivia, however, lost the imposing presence she displayed as a formal wizard in front of Victor, and immediately broke into a bright smile, like a child... and indeed, she was a child in his presence: "Grandma Mara~~"

"Please stop teasing me. I'm a full-fledged wizard now!"

Mara smiled gently upon hearing this: "Alright, alright~~ I know you've grown up."

"So, little Olivia, all grown up, is there something you need from me all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing this, Olivia's smile faded slightly, and she quickly walked to Mara's desk, handing her a sheet of white paper covered with dense writing.

"Grandma Mara, do you remember that wizard apprentice named Victor that you asked me to test before?"

Mara nodded. Although she was the vice dean of the academy and had a lot of important matters to attend to, she was also getting on in years.

But her memory hadn't deteriorated to the point of being bad, so she naturally remembered Viktor, the seed wizard who had applied for the assessment: "Of course I remember, he was the little guy recommended by Manuggus."

"So, you called me here because he succeeded or failed?"

Olivia shook her head: "I'd say it was a success. At least he completed the task I assigned him very well."

"But Grandma Mara, that's not the point. Take a look at the intelligence he's gathered first."

"Oh?"

Seeing her like this, Mara became interested and stopped talking to her, turning her attention to the white paper on the table.

She quickly scanned the document with her eyes, and her powerful mental strength allowed her to grasp the contents of the paper perfectly. A slight smile appeared on her face: "Interesting..."

"A damaged astral plane actually has so many species from the prime material plane."

"The fact that monsters like tunnel worms can appear... it seems the Star Tower's detection was correct; there are indeed some hidden secrets within this damaged astral plane."

Mara glanced at the paper again, her gaze finally settling on Victor's description of the tunnel worms dropping black, stone-like objects. After a moment's thought, she continued, "Hmm!"

"It's very likely some kind of derivative from a high-level monster, and its value should be quite high... Olivia."

Olivia replied, "Yes."

"Go there yourself," Mara said, tapping the table with her finger. "Find out exactly what this thing is, and while you're at it, help the academy establish an outpost in advance to clear out any threatening creatures."

"And you can also get in touch with that little guy named Victor."

"That Manuggas kid is arrogant. For someone to call him a genius, this kid's talent might not be weaker than yours."

"If Manuggas is unlucky, you can take him on as an apprentice."

Olivia's eyes widened slightly: "Me?"

"Take him on as an apprentice?"

Mara nodded upon hearing this and said with a smile, "That's right."

"Little Olivia, trying to become a qualified mentor is an essential part of what every wizard has to go through."

"You might just like this feeling."

After saying that, before Olivia could have any further comments, she waved her hand, indicating that Olivia could leave: "I have a lot of work to do, and I don't have time to chat with you."

"Go ahead, and come back to report to me if you find anything."

Olivia hesitated, wanting to say something but not daring to argue with Mara. She could only sigh deeply and then turn and leave the office.

"Why haven't we heard anything yet? Should we check with Starheart to confirm the information? Does it really take that long?"

Meanwhile, in the astral plane, Viktor, who had been waiting for quite some time, had seen his earlier confidence quietly diminish.

His main reasoning was that Olivia should reply to him soon, but he had been waiting for quite some time without any news, which inevitably made him start to worry.

But he still has patience.

After waiting a while longer, the ring on my finger finally started moving again.

However, compared to the last time, this time the commotion seems to be a bit bigger.

Accompanied by surging magic and a dazzling halo, a portal opened in front of Viktor, and then, to his astonishment, a figure stepped out of the portal.

"Olivia, the mentor??"

"Why did you come here?"

"That's not what I meant."

""

Viktor was a little confused.

Olivia gave him a similarly annoyed look: "It's all because of you."

"I was also sent here, even though I didn't have to get involved in this trouble."

"Now that's settled, the academy sent me here to establish an outpost for the academy and to verify the information you've gathered."

"I guess I'll be staying here for at least ten days to two weeks!"

"And you... the Seed Wizard assessment is complete, but you'll have to stay here with me for a few more days to help me with some miscellaneous tasks."

"Of course, you won't work for nothing. Consider it an academy exploration mission and you'll be rewarded with 100 academy points."

"I see..." Victor suddenly understood, then looked at Olivia and suddenly felt a little smug. Although it seemed he would have to stay here for a few more days, he felt much better since he had brought Olivia with him. "Then please give me your guidance over the next few days, Olivia."

Olivia could easily see Viktor's gloating, but she was too lazy to pay him any attention and went straight to asking, "From the information you recorded, I saw that this underground world is inhabited by several drow elf clans, right?"

Where are these drow elves located?

Victor was taken aback by her question: "You mean... you want to get rid of them first?"

Olivia nodded: "To be precise, we need to get these drow elves under our control first."

"This underground world is not small. It would be too tiring for just the two of us to build an outpost. We might as well capture some slaves first, which would save me the trouble."

"It just so happens that the academy also asked me to eliminate any threatening entities."

"Let's start with those drow elves."

Victor nodded, understanding Olivia's thoughts.

However, he was somewhat worried: "But what about Mentor Olivia, the evil god worshipped by the drow elves..."

""

Upon hearing his words, Olivia's lips curled into a disdainful smile, but she didn't offer any further explanation, simply saying, "An evil god?"

"Let's go, you'll understand what's going on when the time comes."
