Synthetic Wizard-Chapter 172 - 125: Legendary Genius, Identity Exposed (2)
Facing this powerful wizard who single-handedly destroyed the Starfire Sect and changed the course of the war, even as a Marquis, he dare not be negligent. ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ซ๐๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
"Greetings, Sunan."
"Greetings, Marquis of the White Tower."
They exchanged greetings.
Kei smiled and said, "Sunan, you came at the right time. We are discussing how to attack the Red Leaf Province."
"Any strategy?" Sunan asked casually after sitting down.
"Actually, itโs not really a strategy." Marquis of the White Tower laughed, looking confident, "Weโll attack openly and honestly; our odds are very high!"
No wonder the Marquis of the White Tower looked so confident, after all, times have changed.
Now, the military power of Flashing Territory and White Tower Province has completely crushed Red Leaf Province. Even if no strategy is implemented, they can defeat the enemy by advancing straightforwardly.
"Father-in-law is right." Kei nodded in agreement, then changed his tone, "The only concern is what you and I have talked about, the royal familyโs Tier Three Legendary Knight who has been hidden for many years."
After reading the secret records from Ovijouโs study, Sunan learned that fifty years ago, the royal family produced an exceptionally talented genius who became a Tier Three Legendary Knight at only eighty years old, causing a sensation.
However, later that person disappeared for unknown reasons.
According to the Starfire Sectโs investigation, that Tier Three Legendary Knight seems to be still living secluded in the Starry City Palace.
If not for the existence of that strong man, the Starfire Sect would definitely take more drastic measures to force the royal family to agree to their demands.
To be honest, Sunan held doubts about this information.
After all, the lifespan of a Tier Three Legendary Knight is only about one hundred twenty to one hundred thirty years.
If that person is still alive, his age should be over one hundred thirty years; even if heโs not dead, heโs close to it, and his power must have weakened considerably.
Unless he has broken through to the Tier Four Legendary Realm.
But if thatโs the case, he would directly suppress the Starfire Sect. No need to feign civility, and if he wanted methods for immortality, heโd just seize it.
The power of a Tier Four Legendary Knight can already rival the most elite small group of Level 3 Wizard Apprentices.
Even Ovijou, who can access Divine Grace, is no match for a Tier Four Legendary Knight.
Sunan speculated that if that person is indeed still alive and his strength hasnโt waned, maintaining a level that makes the Starfire Sect wary, then he has likely used some means to extend his lifespan.
No matter the case, knowing that thereโs possibly such a figure, Sunan decided to prepare in advance.
This is the reason he appears in Sharp Mountain City at this time.
If that person is truly still around, he should soon make an appearance.
After all, the war is not far from ending.
"If I guessed right, that person should be Evans."
Marquis of the White Tower showed a nostalgic expression.
"Back when I was young and still strengthening my body, before even learning breathing techniques, just a sword-wielding attendant, Evans had already become the youngest Tier Three Legendary Knight of the Duchy, the only one."
"My grandfather and the noble youths of Evansโ generation had talent that couldnโt compare to his. From the start of cultivation, all peers always lived in his shadow."
"But later, for unknown reasons, Evans suddenly faded from public sight. I asked my grandfather, but he always kept it mysterious, never revealing the reason."
Kei sighed, "I didnโt expect the Duchy to have such a legendary figure."
"But thereโs no need to worry." Marquis of the White Tower smiled, "We still have Sunan."
"Even if it were Evans, I believe he wouldnโt be Sunanโs match."
Kei showed a deeply agreeing expression.
His confidence in Sunanโs strength was accumulated through repeated victories. No matter how powerful the enemy, he believed Sunan could handle it.
Sunan merely smiled slightly upon hearing this.
He was indeed interested in meeting Evans.
...
Late night, woodland cabin.
Another meeting after three months.
Attendees included Night Owl, Red Heart, Rose, Remains, Scepter, Black Forest, and Sunan himself.
Other than the member who never appeared, all were present.
"By the way, whatโs the name of the remaining member at the woodland cabin, and why never attend meetings?"
Sunan finally couldnโt resist asking the question lingering on his mind.
Night Owl laughed, "Heโs called Traveler, fond of exploring and adventuring everywhere, often caught up in accidental incidents; skipping meetings for years is common."
"Last time he appeared, he said he was exploring the underground world, and hasnโt participated in meetings for three years after. He might have died somewhere in the underground world." Remains said, gloatingly.
Underground world?
Sunan pondered; apparently, the codename Traveler wasnโt randomly chosen.
After small talk ended, the meeting entered the transaction phase.
With many people attending this time, the entire process lasted over half an hour.
When it came to Sunanโs turn, he straightforwardly said, "I need clues about the descendants of ancient exotic beast bloodlines."
Descendants of ancient exotic beast bloodlines?
Everyone looked at each other.
These things arenโt easy to find.
Such entities are either extremely powerful or live in secluded places, making them difficult to locate.
Sunan raised a finger: "A valuable clue for thirty magic stones."
"Iโll keep an eye out." Rose immediately said.
The others also nodded in agreement.
Itโs just clues; they donโt need to personally capture anything. Exchanging for thirty magic stones is quite worth it!
"Additionally, I want information about the Eternal Life Association." Sunan then said.
The room instantly fell silent at these words.
Night Owl asked softly, "Did you encounter someone from the Eternal Life Association?"
Sunan lightly nodded and replied, "It was a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice who controls insects, possibly fused with some kind of insect beast bloodline."
"That guyโs called Ugo, a Wizard Apprentice fused with insect beast bloodline, a very sinister and despicable fellow." Rose interjected.
"Is the Eternal Life Association also a wizard apprentice organization like us?"
"Roughly."
Night Owl nodded.
"The Eternal Life Association is also founded by Wizard Apprentices with similar ideologies."
"However, their beliefs are completely different from ours."
"The wizard apprentices of the Eternal Life Association are committed to pursuing immortality. They believe that with a longer lifespan, they will eventually advance to being a wizard, thus fanatically searching for every possible way to extend life."
Black Forest scoffed and said, "The Eternal Life Association is just a bunch of lunatics; theyโll do anything for immortality. Like the beastization disaster caused by Herb, itโs just a common thing for them."
"But those lunatics have always only operated in the Northwest Domain of the continent; why suddenly appear in Starry..."
Mid-sentence, Black Forest realized he misspoke, awkwardly chuckled, and closed his mouth without speaking further.
The others also fell into silence.
Starry Duchy is located in the southeastern domain of the continent, separated from the Northwest Domain by thousands of kilometers; itโs not surprising Black Forest wondered.
But the question is, how did he know Sunan encountered Ugo in the Starry Duchy?
Sunan glanced around, noting everyoneโs reaction, and understood.
Looks like the members of the woodland cabin are already aware of his identity.
In fact, Sunan was mentally prepared for this.
The previous incidents he caused in Black Stone City and Golden Rock Province were merely within the domain of one province in the Starry Duchy, not prominent among the numerous countries of the southeastern domain; itโs no surprise the woodland cabin members couldnโt learn immediately.
But previously, by tempting them with magic stones to gather Divine Blood Amber had already caught their attention in Starry Duchy and Starfire Sect. Recently, he wiped out the Starfire Sect and challenged the royal family greatly; now, itโs impossible for them not to know.
If they couldnโt identify his identity at this point, surely the woodland cabin members would be too slow.
Nevertheless, Sunan didnโt mind.
Now, his forces are established, bolstered by Gold Apples, Demon Pattern Core, High-level Rune Gemstones, and numerous trump cards; even if besieged by multiple Wizard Apprentices, he remains confident to thwart them.
At this juncture, he scarcely cares about revealing his identity.
Ultimately, rapidly increasing strength unavoidable necessitates many high-profile deeds, revealing identity is inevitable.
As long as thereโs sufficient power, thereโs no need to fear the consequences of exposing oneself.
"Ahem."
Night Owl cleared his throat, breaking the silence.
"In any case, being targeted by the Eternal Life Association is not good."
"Player, you better be cautious."
"I will." Sunan calmly nodded.
