Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 624 - 622 Subsequent Plans

The sun had risen, casting its mild winter warmth over the entire world, and under the illumination, Taklamakan Lake dazzled like a bright mirror embedded into the earth.

However, for several miles around this mirror, there was utter silence—no sound at all, eerily quiet.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

It was a long time later when the sound of footsteps finally rang out, and a group of people quickly made their way to the lakeshore.

Upon seeing the numerous bodies scattered around haphazardly, Franklin’s eyes widened bit by bit, his mouth agape. Even someone as composed as him was plunged into extreme shock at that moment.

Previously, he and Tu Ke, who had led this group, had lost contact, and there had been various speculations, one of which guessed that the other party might have encountered trouble that was not easy to resolve.

But he had absolutely not expected that this trouble would result in Tu Ke and his group lying dead, thoroughly cleaned up by the lakeside.

It appeared that each person lying on the shore was peaceful, with no injuries on their bodies and no signs of magical combat nearby, as if they had suddenly fallen asleep. However, the rigid corpses very clearly indicated that none of these people would stand up again.

This...

Franklin’s body felt cold, like a rusted machine, as he painfully turned his head to look toward the position behind him.

Behind him stood Muse, icy as frost, looking at the corpses of Tu Ke and his group, not saying a word, the atmosphere oppressive.

Franklin knew the plan to ambush the communication conference, although successful, had had unsatisfactory results, and Muse was furious. This fury, which was initially aimed at Tu Ke, since Tu Ke was the main person in charge, but now, with Tu Ke and his people dead here, this fury could only be suppressed inside him.

A Muse holding back fury was immensely terrifying; he hardly dared say much, fearing that Muse would vent her anger on him, only weakly saying, "Muse Housekeeper, about the bodies of Tu Ke and his people... how should we handle them?"

Muse sniffed coldly, turned her head, and walked far off before her voice drifted back, saying, "Handle it yourself. Once you’re done, come find me at the base!" Clearly, she was furious to the extreme.

Franklin shivered, watching Muse leave. Not delaying any further, he turned to the group that had followed him here, quickly giving orders to clear the bodies from the lakeshore.

...

On another side.

The Deep Blue Castle Station had turned into a ruined battlefield area.

Numerous wizards and Wizard Apprentices from Deep Blue Castle were also clearing the bodies, some of their own, and some from other Wizard Organizations, all being gathered for burial or burning, while occasionally some bodies were frozen and transported away, their destinations unknown.

The battlefield was filled with a sickening stench, everyone silently going about their work, an air of death all around. For them, they were all victims of this conspiracy, reluctantly positioned against other Wizard Organizations of the East Coast under Dean Sige’s leadership.

They didn’t know what the future held, feeling lost and pessimistic, and with heavy casualties, morale had plummeted to its lowest. But under Dean Sige’s iron-fisted rule, they dared not rebel, only moving like zombies through their tasks, praying for a turn of events.

Outside the battlefield, on the unscathed top of a Stone Tower at Deep Blue Castle Station, Dean Sige was looking displeased at the Black Robed Man standing before him—he was the envoy from the Mysterious Organization.

"Bayer, isn’t it!" For Dean Sige to call out the other’s name meant he was very angry, his voice raised as he demanded, "You had definitely promised me initially that the Wizard Organizations participating in the meeting would suffer heavy losses, yet what now! Besides eliminating those twenty or more formidable individuals, nearly half of the wizards at the meeting escaped! Half! What should I do now? How should I handle the aftermath?!"

"Heh." The man called Bayer, not taking Dean Sige’s words seriously, spoke soothingly, "Actually, there’s no difference."

"No difference?!" Dean Sige became even angrier, pointing at Bayer and shouted, "Do you think I’m an ignorant child? Those who escaped, will they easily let go of Deep Blue Castle, will they easily let go of me? They’ll definitely seek revenge, so what then? Will your people be willing to continue helping me out? But, you’ve messed up this time, how can I still trust you?!"

"Dean Sige, don’t be so irate." Bayer seemed unperturbed, speaking softly, "I haven’t lied to you, things really aren’t any different. True, the escapees are a bit numerous this time, but even you wouldn’t think that the plan was to let no one escape, to kill them all, right?"

"But it didn’t need to be so many that got away!"

"It’s the same." Bayer insisted, "Whether it’s letting one escape or half, or even more, it’s actually all within our plan. You also need to think, even if we really killed everyone attending the conference, wouldn’t their people left behind still come seeking revenge on Deep Blue Castle? Actually, how things will play out afterward won’t change much; it’s all within our control. Sure, there’s a slight hiccup now, but it won’t affect the overall situation."

Hearing this, Dean Sige looked at Bayer, his expression shifting slightly to one of surprise and uncertainty, staring at Bayer as he asked, "According to what you’ve said, are you all actually planning to go against all the wizards on the East Coast?"

"No, more accurately, it’s all wizards excluding those from Deep Blue Castle."

"Don’t play word games with me; I just want to know, what exactly are your intentions, what assurances do you have to do this crazy thing, and what’s in it for you?"

Confronted with Dean Sige’s questioning, Bayer smiled, looking at Dean Sige and spoke calmly, "Dean Sige, haven’t I told you before? We are the Royal Family of the Black Spirit Empire. Hundreds of years ago when the Black Spirit Empire fell, we preserved our strength and went into hiding. Now that the time has nearly ripened, we are preparing to restore our nation. Our promises to you will not change; once our restoration succeeds, you will definitely receive your share of the benefits."

"Black Spirit Empire, Black Spirit Empire’s Royal Family, restoring the nation!" Dean Sige looked at Bayer, his expression quite perplexed, then suddenly he burst into laughter, "Fine, fine, fine, you are the Royal Family of the Black Spirit Empire, and you are preparing to restore the nation! I believe your words, I’ll fully support you. But, don’t try any tricks, as my eyes will always be watching you."

"Rest assured, Dean Sige, we absolutely won’t deceive you," Bayer smiled gently, "after all, we stand on the same side."

"I hope so," Dean Sige said sternly, "Alright, I have a lot to deal with after this battle, and I need to soothe the feelings of my subordinates. I must be off now."

"Dean Sige, take care."

"You’re too kind!" Dean Sige exclaimed and quickly left the Stone Tower.

Watching Dean Sige’s retreating figure, Bayer’s eyes flickered momentarily before returning to normal, slowly shaking his head, his body then dematerializing and disappearing into the air.
