Synthetic Wizard-Chapter 196 - 137: Hope of Advancing to Wizard (2)
"That Death Knell Striker?"
"It should have fallen into Sunan’s hands too."
The man in the black robe snorted disdainfully, "That guy who spent his days playing with bugs in the underground world is dead, and it’s just as well. But it’s a pity that Death Knell Striker, those ancient bloodline descendants are rare. If it were given to me, I could certainly make better use of it."
"I want... to eat it too!" the man in the gray robe murmured.
"Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know! You’re driving me crazy! Say that again and I’ll kill you!"
The man in the black robe suddenly became furious; his voice rose several pitches, filled with rage and cruelty.
Saulo furrowed his brows and shouted in a deep voice, "Calm down!"
The man in the black robe paused, took a deep breath, and calmly apologized a moment later.
"The bloodline has seriously affected your emotions and rationality," Saulo said seriously, "Make sure to resolve this issue soon, or don’t blame me for kicking you out of the Eternal Life Association!"
To other Wizard Apprentices, the Eternal Life Association seemed like lunatics, but they didn’t see it that way.
Everything they did was out of their own free will, to strengthen their power, a rational judgment different from the madness of Wizard Apprentices who lost their minds.
The most important thing for a Wizard is rationality.
Even the Eternal Life Association would despise Wizard Apprentices who lost their reason.
The man in the black robe was silent for a while and nodded, "I understand, I already have leads, and it won’t be long before the issue is resolved."
"That’s good." Saulo nodded slightly.
"Back to the main topic, did you call us here just for Ugo? You don’t want to help him avenge, do you?"
Saulo shook his head, "I’m not that noble. This time I called you here for the Star Tower."
Star Tower!
At these four words, both the man in the black robe and the man in the gray robe were moved.
The man in the black robe immediately asked, "Have you found the Star Tower?"
"No." Saulo said unhurriedly, "But I already have clues about the Star Tower."
"The Star Tower appears once every twenty years, and the next time it will open is in twelve years. However, its location is random; a key is needed to find the specific location, and a key is also required to enter the Star Tower."
The man in the black robe asked suspiciously, "How do you know this?"
Saulo said calmly, "I saw information about the Star Tower in an ancient book and speculated that the Star Tower is closely related to the Kessler Clan that governs the Starlight Principality, so I contacted Evans to inquire."
"Evans? That Tier Three Legendary Knight of the Kessler Clan?"
"Yes."
"Would he honestly share such important information with you?"
"I used some means."
The man in the black robe chuckled, immediately understanding.
It was said that Evans made a deal with Sunan, surrendering in exchange for preserving the last royal bloodline of the Kessler Clan.
Saulo probably threatened Evans with that last royal bloodline to make him reveal the clues about the Star Tower.
Otherwise, it’s hard to imagine a Tier Three Legendary Knight would willingly succumb.
"Since that’s the case, Evans should have a key to enter the Star Tower. Where is the key?"
Saulo opened his palm, revealing a talisman stone lying in his palm.
"This is the key to entering the Star Tower."
The man in the black robe stared intently at the talisman stone, his breathing involuntarily becoming more rapid.
The man in the gray robe also changed from his previous dull state, instinctively taking a few steps forward, with chewing sounds coming increasingly from under his robe.
Any Wizard Apprentice who knew about the existence of the Star Tower understood what this legacy meant.
Star Tower, Dark Forest, Fallen Star City.
These are the only three formal Wizard legacies on the Starlight Continent, offering hope to countless Wizard Apprentices to advance to Wizards.
As long as they find one of the three legacies, they have a great chance of advancing to become an Official Wizard, gaining extraordinary power and a long life.
But soon, the two forced themselves to calm down, shifting their gaze away from the key.
If the key was held by another Wizard Apprentice, they would undoubtedly strike without hesitation.
But facing Saulo, they could only suppress their eager thoughts.
As members of the same organization, they knew how terrifying Saulo was.
Even if the two of them joined forces, they couldn’t possibly be a match for Saulo.
"How many people can the key allow to enter the Star Tower?" the man in the black robe asked.
"One person." Saulo quickly added, "Don’t worry. There are far more than two or three keys to enter the Star Tower; there are many more."
The man in the black robe was overjoyed, "Where are the other keys?"
"Evans has more than one key."
Saulo put away the key, a hint of regret in his tone.
"Unfortunately, some Wizard Apprentices interfered mid-way and rescued Evans, otherwise we could have forced him to reveal the whereabouts of the other keys."
"Besides, Sunan also has a key to the Star Tower, which Evans traded to him."
The man in the gray robe murmured, "So we should just find those two and take all the keys!"
The man in the black robe coldly said, "Not to mention Evans, Sunan has only one key; if we take it, who gets it?"
The man in the gray robe was silent immediately.
The Star Tower is the hope for advancing to a Wizard; they absolutely won’t hand the key over to others.
As for first giving the key to one person, then distributing to others when other keys are snatched from Evans, that’s even more unlikely.
Their trust hasn’t deepened to that extent yet.
But if they don’t join forces, they don’t have the confidence to take on Sunan alone.
Although they belittled Ugo, they didn’t underestimate the force he built in the underground world.
To have been able to eliminate Ugo who controlled Kasham, in terms of both Sunan’s own power and the forces he commands, he’s enough to be feared.
They don’t have a 100% assurance of snatching the key from Sunan.
On the other hand, Evans, a Tier Three Legendary Knight, would be somewhat easier to deal with.
Besides, that fellow has more than one key.
As long as they find Evans’ whereabouts, and everyone strikes together, they have a high chance of success.
As thoughts flashed swiftly, the man in the black robe quickly came up with an idea, asked expressionlessly, "Who was the Wizard Apprentice who saved Evans?"
"I don’t know, that person hid very well." Saulo shook his head.
Being able to rescue someone from Saulo and successfully escape, that Wizard Apprentice is certainly not an ordinary Level 3 Wizard Apprentice.
The man in the black robe had several names flash through his mind, then said, "Saulo, I propose to hold a meeting."
"I second that," said the man in the gray robe muffled.
Just relying on the two of them to find a Tier Three Legendary Knight assisted by a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice on the vast continent is like finding a needle in a haystack; they must gather other people together.
With the Star Tower key involved, no one will refuse this cooperation.
"I’ve already sent out the notice." Saulo had clearly anticipated their intentions long ago, "I came tonight mainly to inform you; the meeting is scheduled for a month later, same place."
"Understood." The man in the black robe nodded.
After handling the matters, Saulo wasted no time in turning around to leave, his figure disappearing into the night.
As he departed, the light around them gradually faded, and the forest quickly plunged back into deep darkness.
In the darkness, the man in the black robe seemed more spirited, glanced at the man in the gray robe, curled his lips, and turned to leave, but was stopped by the man in the gray robe.
"You have the scent of sub-dragon blood on you, very strong."
The man in the black robe halted, turned back and said mockingly, "Your nose is as sharp as ever; did you modify a new organ?"
The man in the gray robe didn’t answer but said in a low, muffled voice, "A trade... I’ll exchange the Flesh Core with you!"
The man in the black robe was silent for a moment then said, "Forget about the Flesh Core, that thing is no longer useful to me now. If you truly want sub-dragon blood, do me a favor."
"What kind of favor?"
"Kill someone; I’ll tell you who it is later, if you agree we can go now."
"Where to?"
"The underground world."
