Chapter 624: Conflict (1)
Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
Three days later
Feb 14, 2308, the 13th dark wizard alliance has been founded.
A wizard in black robe wrote down the sentence quickly.
It was early in the morning. Two teams of black robes gathered by a tower that was made of a pile of white bones. They were shaking their hands. One of them had a black eyeball badge on his right chest and the other one had a red leaf badge.
I think weve signed many similar agreements. The man with the eyeball badge smiled.
This is the fifth time, I believe. This time, it was the Northland Alliance. The female wizard with the leaf badge chuckled.
There were wizards behind them who were recording the situation.
The gentle golden light landed on the wizards bodies and was reflected.
By the border of the Northland Alliance and the Dark Wizards Land.
Outside the White Snow Valley.
On a snow-covered gra.s.s land, there was a fist-sized hole in the ground. A gra.s.s rat suddenly appeared from the hole.
The gray rats eyeb.a.l.l.s rolled, and it slowly moved out of the hole, jumping into a bush under the hill. Several seconds later, it turned into a young man with face covered with blood.
His outfit was damaged and covered in blood-stained dust. The man, who had short brown hair, was rubbing a black ring on his finger like crazy.
The school didnt give me up! They didnt! Theres still a chance for me to survive! His voice was hoa.r.s.e; it felt like he had not talked in a while.
Param lost hope after he had been running for a while, but he suddenly received a message from the school, informing him that they sent a rescue team for him. He was ready for death but decided to stay in the battle after receiving the message.
He rubbed the ring 32 times.
The black ring finally s.h.i.+ned and a female voice came from it.
Param, the master has heard about your situation and asked you not to give up. The school wont punish you for a crime you didnt commit. The master and the members of the school are behind you. Dont be scared! Well never give you up. We already declared war against the Northland Alliance; the rescue team is on the way!
Master Kura Param was breathing heavily, getting excited. I wont die! Ill wait for you! I will!
Kura remained silent for a second and responded, Take care, Param. Ill hold a party for you when youre back.
The black light slowly faded away, but Param already knew what he should do.
The Ramsoda School was no longer a weak organization after Angele came back, and the wizards knew that they finally had the ability to fight back.
Param felt like there was a ball of flames burning in his mind. He waited for too long, and the members of Ramsoda also waited for too long. Theirs was finally considered a strong organization.
Param knew that he could tell others he was from Ramsoda proudly. With a strong organization to back him up the feeling was exciting and he was no longer alone.
****************************
Members of Ramsoda shall not be bullied by some random organizations!
The president stood in the Three Eye Meeting Hall of the school and repeated Angeles words.
We shall show the world our power and everyone shall remember Ramsodas name! He raised his fist and looked at the members below.
Everyone from the school shall be proud of Ramsoda and people from other organizations shall fear our name!
The wizards and apprentices that were listening to the presentation all remained silent. However, there was hope in their eyes, and it felt like they were trying to hold their emotions. It felt like the calm before the storm.
After Andy finished the presentation, the professor of the shadow spells, Sura, stepped forward. The dark wizard had no arms nor feet. His body was supported by some metal equipment.
I have several announcements to make. Mafi and Adelina The voice slowly faded away but Suras lips were still moving slightly and the two wizards were nodding. They left the hall with around 20 members after the conversation finished.
Sura also had some information for the department of destroying and the department of necromancy.
The dark wizards were good at killing and destroying. They were masters of poison, plagues, undead, mutated creatures, and curses. They were always prepared for a full-scale war.
The apprentices and knights of Ramsoda were led by the wizards. They separated into teams and headed to the border.
The Wizards House also sent more than ten teams to a.s.sist Ramsoda. They wanted to attack the Northland Alliances border from different angles. The Northland Alliance was also gathering troops by the border.
The other two dark wizard organizations were slower in their preparations but they also sent numerous teams to the border.
There were more so many dark wizards moving to the border; it almost looked like a lot of snakes moving on the map.
The shadow of the war was merging onto this land.
*******************
On top of Ramsodas white obelisk.
Angele was standing on the sh.e.l.l-shaped balcony calmly, overlooking the whole school.
At noon, the Ramsoda school looked like a humongous machine with gears rotating inside. The wizards and apprentices were moving in the school quickly; they looked like sticky black liquid from the sky, all moving to the exit of the school.
Teams of black bats were leaving the parking lot; there were also horses running on the ground.
Angele stood on the balcony, holding a tall black staff in the right hand. He looked at the school members quietly. He found a problem and his brow furrowed. Angele hit the floor using the staff slightly and made some crisp noises.
Get department head Vivi here, he ordered.
The black wooden staff was a special item used by the school leader. Only strong wizards had the ability to activate the staff, which represented the power in the school. The war had started and the president handed the staff to Angele.
The staff was around two meters long and there was a dark gem floating on top of it. The dark gem had the size of a fist and was releasing gentle purple light.
Around two minutes later, a female wizard in a black long robe appeared behind Angele and bowed to him slightly.
Master? Did you summon me?
Angele turned around as the strong wind blew his long red hair to the left. The black robe he was wearing also made some noise.
I have a question. The school has a guardian, right? Whos the current guardian?
Guardian? Vivi had a pale face and she looked a bit weak. A bitter smile appeared on her face as she heard the word. Master, the last guardian of the school, Master Phil, pa.s.sed away around 300 years ago. The school didnt find a new guardian due to many reasons
The guardian is usually not a human being. With the power of the guardian, its possible to expand the guardians energy wave to the whole Ramsoda forest. The energy waves released by the guardian are important to the schools defense system, Angele said.
Yeah The problem is the school is not attractive to the guardians. Without a strong wizard in the school, the ones who can become guardians all declined our offer, Vivi responded.
Ill see what I can do about it. You need to tell me more about the guardian and how the resources will be distributed here. I need the details.
Yes, Master. Vivi thought for a second and started explaining, Guardian is an ancient technique from the old Ramsoda School. I heard that the original members of the school acquired the technique from a different realm. We dont give the guardian a lot of resources, but the guardian will be given special power.
Special power? Angele wondered.
Yeah, after one becomes the guardian of the school, he must protect the school for 200 years. Also, the guardian will be given some special power during the period. Vivi finished the sentence and decided to use energy particles to transfer the rest of the words.
The Stamina of Ramsodas guardian will be increased by two standard levels.
Angeles expression changed and he held his staff tighter. He was certain that Vivi was not lying to him, but the special power sounded too good to be true. This was not even the central continent; he had never read about such information before.
Are you sure that its two standard levels? Not one?
Im sure. Vivi nodded.
Angeles expression loosened.
One standard level of Stamina was around ten points in the biochips system. Two standard levels were like 20 points of Stamina. 20 points of increase would bring ones Stamina to a whole different level.
For example, if the Stamina of a palm-sized rabbit was increased by 20, the rabbit would turn to a monster that had the size of a cow; also, the rabbits resistance and recovery speed would also be increased greatly.
Angeles true form would bring him around 80 points of Stamina, and he had the power level of a rank 8 wizard. 20 points of the increase could easily turn a cat into a tiger.
About ten seconds later, Angele calmed down.
Can I have a look at that ancient technique?
Of course, but itll take us ten days to get everything prepared. The technique is stored in a special place, Vivi explained. Also, weve been studying the technique for centuries but we still cant figure out the secrets behind it. The technique would change slightly whenever we were about to figure everything outit had changed over 3000 times.
Dont worry. Get everything prepared. Ill take care of the war first, Angele ordered. He did not expect the technique to be so strong. Although there were only weak wizards on the west coast, some lost techniques were still worth collecting.
Also, is everything going well with the entrance to the underground world?
Vivi nodded.
Everything is going as planned. We can keep the entrance open for up to two months and you should be able to finish what you need to do.
Great.
