Chapter 404: Chapter 104: The Abyss of Human Heart, Dark and Difficult to Understand _1
“The little fellow seems to have discovered something.”
In the Ravensmouth College headquarters where the space-time coordinates were absolutely confidential, the Great Sage Revo and the Great Sage Seuss, who had not been out for many years, sat across from each other.
The Great Sage Revo, with white hair casually draped over his shoulders, looked like a twenty-year-old despite being nearly nineteen hundred years old.
“What can he do about what he’s discovered? What can he change right now? Isn’t everything under your control?”
Great Sage Seuss responded casually.
She was beautiful, slender, and had exceptional temperament.
It didn’t seem like she was a predecessor who also lived for nearly nineteen hundred years.
She teemed with the luster of youth.
More enticing than young girls, but displaying more youthful vibes than mature women.
She was both seen as a young woman and as a regal lady, both sweet and salty.
Her appearance, temperament, and age presented a great contrast.
For wizards, especially high-level wizards, the methods to remain young or rejuvenate were countless.
However, temperament had a deep connection with a person’s soul.
It was remarkable and almost a miracle for the Great Sage Seuss to have maintained such a youthful spirit for so long.
“That’s true, but I quite like this little fellow.”
Great Sage Revo had known, loved, and accompanied Great Sage Seuss for nearly nineteen hundred years, how could he not understand her character and way of speaking?
It was easy to resolve disagreements on less important matters.
She spoke her mind, he spoke his, no need to forcibly agree
Each had their own opinion.
“He’s just average, not ordinary, but not particularly prominent either.”
For some reason, Great Sage Seuss was at odds with Great Sage Revo, contradicting him in every way.
Even though she didn’t think this way, she felt the need to say it.
Seeing this, the Great Sage Revo simply changed the topic:
“The time mentioned in the last prophecy before the demise of the Saint of Nostrodamus is approaching, but the ‘Alien Guest’ who can stabilize that ruined world and open a path to the parallel universe behind it hasn’t appeared yet.
This has made many people grow anxious.
The Supreme Council has even issued a decree jointly signed by five saints. The wizard organization that can discover the ‘Alien Guest’ mentioned in the prophecy will be rewarded with abundant high-level resources.
If we can find that ‘Alien Guest’, we can get the resources we desperately need.
You’ve been a seventh-level witch for too long, it’s time to level up.
Then, both of us will be Level Eight Great Sages.
Our college will not be confined to the Mitchell District and can welcome further development.”
Great Sage Seuss replied, “We’re slowly accumulating what we need and should be able to gather it before the prophecy’s time arrives. There’s no urgent need to find an ‘Alien Guest’.”
“We’re not going to intentionally look for it, it’s just an incidental matter.”
Great Sage Revo explained his intention, “I noticed this little lad because of Rosenthal.”
“Rosenthal?”
Great Sage Seuss was taken aback, “Didn’t he fall into despair, choose to return to his homeland, protect the Cultivation Secret Realms and is waiting for death? How is he involved again?”
Great Sage Revo smiled and said:
“Walters wanted to use the special qualities of this young lad’s ‘Alien Guest’ soul to nurture a ‘seed’ formed from the essence of a ruined world, as a second backup plan for advancing to become a Great Sage. (Chapter 38, Volume 3)
However, Rosenthal discovered this by chance, and probably on a whim, thwarted the backup plan of Walters. (Chapters 54 to 56, Volume 3)
Walters, not daring to argue with Rosenthal who was willing to embrace death, and fearing the loss of face, had brought this issue to me instead.”
“Hmph!”
Hearing this, Great Sage Seuss’ face turned dark and she said angrily, “He’s a disgrace! He’s already a level six wizard but still pulling such a disgraceful stunt, manipulating a first-level wizard, what a humiliation to all wizards!”
“At that time, the little lad was still a wizard apprentice, and had not yet become an official wizard.”
“Hmph!”
Great Sage Revo added an explanation, successfully arousing even more anger from Great Sage Seuss.
“Ha, ha….”
Great Sage Revo laughed and continued, “I guess Walters was aware of his unreasonable actions and still wanted to save face, therefore he didn’t want to give the young lad any trouble.”
“Even if he didn’t stoop too low, it’s still disgraceful!”
After a while, Great Sage Seuss calmed her feelings and casually asked, “Since he’s not the ‘Alien Guest’ that you’re looking for, how are you planning to handle him?”
“Handle him?”
Great Sage Revo laughed and replied, “Why should I handle him? No matter what, the lad is a rising star of our college. The better he develops, the more it would benefit us. Why would I handle him? Not only will I not handle him, but I will also reward him, and help him grow even faster!”
“Alright, let’s leave it at that.”
Great Sage Seuss seemed less enthusiastic upon hearing this.
After all that talk, it still comes down to benefit.
The secret to maintaining her youthful spirit is to avoid machinations as much as possible.
Whether it’s calculating benefits or people’s hearts, she’ll sidestep whenever possible.
She didn’t even make any visible moves, yet the light that reflected the situation of Shanghai in the ruined world disappeared.
Along with it, the special Rule Power that guided and manipulated the minds of the forty-four people also vanished.
Then, her figure turned into a ray of light, disappearing to an unknown place.
