Chapter 837 The Terror of the Fourth Order

Stuart refused to bet with Airo, and the powerful fourth-order wizard emperor looked away in boredom.

In his eyes, why did Thor come? And can he leave once he's here? None of that matters.

He just needs to fulfill his duties as the Black Flame Emperor.

Currently, there are only two empires on the continent of Neflet: Eternal Night and Black Flame.

Unlike the puppet-like Eternal Night royal family, the Black Flame Emperor is one of only two fourth-tier wizards in Neflet. He became the Black Flame Emperor upon reaching the third tier, and it has been over a hundred years since then.

Although this wizard emperor doesn't usually get involved in affairs, he has more than enough control over the entire empire.

With the methods of a wizard, figuring out what his subordinates are thinking is too easy!

The entire Black Flame Empire is located in the northwest corner of the Neflet continent. Its territory is smaller than that of Eternal Night, and its coastline is not directly impacted by the Black Tide. Therefore, in the fight against the Black Tide, the Black Flame Empire is mainly responsible for logistics and elite support.

Furthermore, Emperor Airo of the Black Flame Empire is an honorary elder of the Tribunal, so he will personally attend the Black Tide Conference and join forces with Frim at crucial moments to fight against the Black Tide that threatens the entire continent.

Just as everyone was enthusiastically forming teams, a bright light suddenly descended from the sky.

At the same time, all the torches set up in the entire parliament hall were automatically lit, and the warm yellow flames burned steadily.

The entire council hall fell silent as everyone stared at the bright light in the center of the room.

Thor was no exception; he stared at the bright but not dazzling beam of light.

For the first time, light gained the ability to deform, gradually transforming from a beam of light into a ball of light.

Within the ball of light, there was a shadowy figure, unlike any human, with a distorted shape, more like a bolt of lightning.

Once the entire beam of light had completely transformed into a sphere, Thor heard a familiar voice.

"This Black Tide is quite powerful, likely the strongest in thirty years. From now on, all tribunals are suspended, all adjudicators currently outside the court must return within one month, and all private research activities must cease in preparation for the Black Tide three months from now."

The wizards sitting on the periphery let out a small gasp of surprise, and even Alfonso next to Thor frowned again.

Their eyebrows were almost touching.

After arriving here, Frim only announced this one thing before turning into a pillar of light and disappearing.

Thor's position immediately made him notice that the Black Flame Emperor, who was diagonally opposite him, had also disappeared at the same time.

"Two fourth-tier wizards...it seems there are other things to discuss privately."

Unlike Thor's calm reaction, the other wizards present were clearly shocked by what Frim had just announced.

Even Alfonso and Royer, who had been sitting next to Thor, were no longer as calm as before. They got up and went to discuss something with someone.

It seemed that only Saul was doing nothing in the entire arena.

However, Thor soon noticed that Stuart, sitting alone in the front row, was just like him, with no one around him.

Thor, remembering the mark the Stuart wizard had just placed on him, decided to test whether the wizard could detect that he had found the mark.

"Hello, Wizard Stuart."

To avoid seeming abrupt, Thor strolled over to the other person and greeted them.

The short, small-eyed Stuart had noticed Saul's approach as he drew near, realizing that Saul's path was aimed at him. But he remained silent, waiting for Saul to greet him before looking up.

"Wizard Thor," Stuart seemed rather taciturn, "what is it?"

"Since neither of us has anything to do here, and Alfonso mentioned that you are skilled in plant-based witchcraft, we'd like to discuss the Red Sea Tree and Black Sea Tree with you."

This topic was just something Thor randomly picked.

However, Stuart was unexpectedly interested.

"You're studying the Red Sea Tree?" Stuart's small eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes, although this isn't my main responsibility here, I'm actually quite interested in it. Especially its relationship with the Black Sea Tree, and its unique characteristics of being unable to coexist..."

Two third-tier wizards were actually having a lively discussion about the Red Sea Tree in the chaotic council hall.

The wizards of the Tribunal were quite wary of the Black Sea Tree, because wherever the Black Sea Tree was, the Red Sea Tree would wither.

But Stuart had no such concerns; when he talked about the Black Sea Tree, he practically spit out his saliva.

He regrets that he was unable to secretly hide one of the Black Sea Trees when the Tribunal was clearing them out, and now he can only analyze its characteristics based on the information recorded in the book.

Thor originally just wanted to casually start a conversation with Stuart to test him, but unexpectedly, they found themselves getting along very well.

Just as they were engrossed in their conversation and agreed to visit Thor's laboratory sometime, the earth suddenly began to tremble violently.

The sturdy parliament hall was initially undamaged by the earthquake.

But then, two powerful pressures descended from the sky!

Cracks immediately appeared on the walls and floor of the entire hall.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

Most of the wizards present were actually pressed to the ground by the powerful pressure.

Apart from the third-tier wizard, everyone else was in a sorry state.

Even Thor felt a sense of suffocation. He wanted to breathe, but his internal organs wouldn't cooperate, and he felt a dull ache all over his body, as if he had suffered internal injuries.

On the contrary, black flames rose from Stuart's tuxedo, seemingly helping him resist the powerful pressure, and his expression remained unchanged.

Fortunately, the two powerful pressures quickly disappeared, and Thor's magic surged within his body, rapidly repairing the damage to his internal organs and muscles.

But other second-tier and first-tier wizards didn't have it as easy as Thor.

Several people were deathly pale, as if they were about to faint at any moment.

The entire parliament hall was in a state of disrepair, with fallen walls and flying fluff from broken chairs everywhere.

"What's going on?" Thor muttered to himself, tilting his head back. "Could it be that two fourth-tier wizards are fighting?"

Stuart was unaffected, but he didn't look too good.

He didn't answer Thor immediately, but waited a moment and, after realizing that no more mental pressure came down, said in a low voice, "There may have been a dispute."

"Is this all just a disagreement?" Thor exclaimed. "Then it's fortunate it's just a disagreement."

Although Thor had witnessed the battle between the fourth-tier wizard Ophelia and the weakened fifth-tier wizard Froco, he had only seen it from afar and was not affected by the aftermath of their fight.

This time, however, he truly experienced the terror of a fourth-tier wizard.

"The higher you go, the more you realize that the gap between each level of wizard is truly enormous, and it only gets bigger!"

The terrifying pressure of the fourth-tier wizard did not frighten Thor; on the contrary, it fueled his desire to advance.

"The Symphony of Fate, which I modified and redesigned, can theoretically advance to the sixth tier. But even if I only advance to the fourth tier using the Symphony of Fate, my strength should be very close to the fifth tier..."

"Back then...would I be able to crush those two terrifying fourth-tier opponents?"
