Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 590 - 588 The Real Yatis

"This," Tifeng laughed upon hearing Richard’s words, "is quite normal because the origin is a matter of long ago, unknown to wizards who have stayed in Jungle Hut for a long time. Since you are curious, I can tell you about it. But before I do, I have to ask you a question, have you ever heard the name Yatis?"

"Are you joking?" Richard said, "She is the founder of Jungle Hut."

"Ha, well, it’s good that you know," Tifeng said, "As you said, Master Yatis is the founder of our Jungle Hut, but she isn’t from near the Witch Forest; she is from near Deep Blue Castle."

"Really?"

"Did you know, Master Yatis, is extremely powerful and quite mysterious. Although she founded Jungle Hut, we of Jungle Hut do not even know her name, only her title."

"Don’t know her name?" Richard’s eyes flickered as he asked, "If they don’t know her name, where did ’Yatis’ come from?"

"That is her title, used for a very long time," Tifeng explained, "It is said that Master Yatis never revealed her real name, only calling herself ’the person from Yatis.’ Yatis was the name of the village where she was born, near the current Deep Blue Castle Station."

Upon hearing this, Richard suddenly shuddered, his eyes widened in an involuntary reaction but soon returned to calm.

"Is that so..." After hearing Tifeng’s words, Richard spoke as if nothing was unusual, but inside he was tumultuously wondering: Yatis? A title? The name of a village? Near Deep Blue Castle Station?"

"Phew—"

Richard took a deep breath internally, looked at Tifeng, and casually asked, "Does the village of Yatis still exist?"

"Well," Tifeng thought for a moment and then shook his head, "It probably doesn’t exist anymore since it was just an ordinary small village, and many years have passed, it’s likely abandoned. However, it’s definitely near Deep Blue Castle Station."

"I see." Richard nodded, his hand uncontrollably tightening and then slowly relaxing, managing not to lose his composure due to extreme emotions. After all, whatever Tifeng said about the place name "Yatis" had to be verified to be confirmed as true.

At that moment, Tifeng looked over and asked, "By the way, Wizard Richard, do you actually want to participate in this exchange meeting?"

If it were before, Richard would have refused due to the inconvenience, but now after hearing Tifeng’s words, he responded, "Let me think about it, give me some time, and I’ll tell you my decision next time we meet."

"That’s fine, see you later." Tifeng said.

"See you later." Richard replied, waving his hand as he walked away, indeed needing time to "think about it."

Quickening his steps and making two turns in the gathering area, he arrived in front of a grand, pitch-black three-story wooden building.

"Tap tap tap..."

Richard quickly walked inside and entered a large hall with several counters, with wizard apprentices standing behind the counters, and a corner where a low-level wizard steward was meditating with eyes closed.

Richard approached the counter, and the wizard in the corner noticed him, quickly opened his eyes, and upon seeing it was Richard, he greeted him proactively: "Ah, Wizard Richard, how have you been lately? I heard that Van Helsing returned a few days ago, he hasn’t continued to bother you, has he?"

"No," Richard responded. The other was a wizard he was on good terms with, named... Teddy.

Yes, Teddy.

Teddy Fiers.

Regarding the other’s name, he had found it quite bizarre at first. However, after seeing even stranger wizard names later, he came to accept them. After all, in this world, there are many differences compared to Earth, and names like Teddy don’t carry special meanings from Earth, they are just ordinary names. Judging someone solely based on their name would be overly superficial.

"Speaking of Teddy," Richard remarked, "aside from his peculiar name, less-than-attractive appearance, weaker abilities, lower charisma, slightly problematic EQ, and his penchant for chatter, the rest about him is not too bad."

For instance, he had a strong sense of justice. When he realized that Van Helsing was always targeting him, he took it upon himself to publicly denounce Van Helsing, which made their relationship relatively close.

However, he wasn’t here now to bond with Van Helsing, but for an important matter.

Van Helsing was in charge of this wooden building, a hub that served as an archive or library, containing many records. Richard wanted to check the information here to verify what Tifeng had said.

Upon seeing Van Helsing, Richard said, "Teddy, I’m looking for some lesser-known information this time."

"Lesser-known information? About what?"

"About Master Yatis’s life."

"Master Yatis’s life?" Teddy, behind the counter, blinked in surprise, "Why are you suddenly interested in looking this up?"

"It’s just a personal interest," Richard replied casually.

"Well, your interests are quite peculiar," Teddy clicked his tongue, looking curious.

"Just tell me, do you have such information?" Richard cut him off, aiming to prevent any further questions and go straight to the main point.

"Yes, of course we have it. On the second floor, farthest to the west, near the wall, on the second shelf to the left—all the data is there," Teddy explained adeptly, then added out of habit, "This information isn’t really that obscure, actually. There’s quite a lot of it. You won’t be able to finish it in a day!"

"Is that so? That’s for the best," Richard responded and quickly turned to head upstairs.

"Tap, tap, tap..." fгeewebnovёl.com

Upon reaching the second floor, Richard headed straight to the location Teddy had described, where he saw many parchment scrolls on a wooden rack. He immediately took them down to browse.

His eyes skimmed the text at an incredible pace, processing a large amount of information in a short time.

One scroll, two scrolls, three scrolls...

Many scrolls were swiftly reviewed by Richard, and after going through the last of them, he couldn’t help but rub his forehead to ease the pain from overthinking, and then he exhaled a heavy breath.

At that moment, he had confirmed from the information that what the Wizard Tifeng had said was correct.

That is to say, he indeed had been looking in the wrong place from the start. The hint about "Yatis" in the Metallic Ball Magic Cube did not refer to the Holy Yatis named after the Jungle Hut’s founder. Instead, it referred to the founder’s birthplace, Yadisi Village.

But then again, in a sense, he had not been entirely wrong either. Whether it was the person Yatis, Yadisi Village, or Holy Yatis, they were all closely connected—finding one could lead to finding the others.

This was also why he had found the handbook titled "Divine’s Right Hand" in the tomb of the Holy Land, completing the design for the "Destructive Gloves."

It was not a coincidence, but rather an inevitability.

Slowly rolling up the last scroll and placing it back on the shelf, Richard leaned against the wall and muttered to himself, "Now, the final location of the Black Spirit King’s secret is finally determined. Even though Yadisi Village is destroyed, its location hasn’t changed. It’ll take some time, but it can be found. However, this means I must attend the exchange conference at Deep Blue Castle. Yes, that’s settled."
