Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 546 - 504: A New Adventure (Extra 1 for Alliance Hierarch Cang Yue Ming)
Green Dragon Ridge Lake, atop the Gray Lighthouse of Dragon Heart Castle.
Tang Qi and Eva watch the images displayed within the "Magic Mirror" before them.
A dark underground tunnel echoes with various explosions and roars. Occasionally, bursts of flame vaguely reveal three children—no, more precisely, two children dismantling a train.
Noah, merely utilizing the power of the "Sleeper," calms the riotous Evil Spirits.
Directing them in an orderly fashion to deliver themselves to death at Hannahs’ or Peggy’s.
As they exorcise the Evil Spirits, the two girls also pour their power unrestrained onto that antique train, model "MH-R9", which for some reason had become a Curio, now headed towards destruction.
Curios mostly do not align with any camp.
But some actively engage in "hunting."
This "MH-R9" is one of them, just like an ice cream truck once used by the World Tree Foundation.
However, the Witch School and the World Tree Foundation are not the same organizations.
If agents from the "World Tree" dealt with this train, following the foundation’s rules.
They might first observe, to see if it possesses other powers that could be exploited, just like the ice cream truck, which the foundation knew devoured people but still chose not to destroy.
Under Tang Qi’s "Special Ability" surveillance, the ice cream truck killed far more humans than the foundation knew.
Thus, Tang Qi did not halt Noah and the others’ actions.
In the face of such pure Evil Curios, let destruction be the end.
As thoughts flitted by, the battle shown in the mirror was nearing its conclusion.
Hannahs and Peggy, the two girls, unleashing their full combat power for the first time—an astonishing and terrifying force.
"Hannahs are technically not Professionals; they represent ’Abnormalities,’ their source of power deriving from the unknown ’Mysterious’ with no clear cultivation path or profession available, only able to tentatively search and master through common methods of the Mysterious Side."
"And Peggy, transformed by Exotic Realm Creatures, has a clear source of power and could in future cultivate professions like Mechanical Battle Girl; during the Dark Era, Mechanical Life Transcendents also shone brilliantly."
"The most crucial factor now is that both girls possess absolute Professional Level combat capabilities."
A smile, unmasked, spreads across Tang Qi’s lips.
Evidently, the first "Mission Distribution Test" from Merada Special Education School was tremendously successful looking at the results.
Except for Lily, who was still swearing at a teddy bear toy, all other students from the Extraordinary Practical Combat class performed very well, and Noah’s group had even dismantled the "MH-R9" into pieces.
Now carrying a locomotive head stained with cursed flesh—the power source of the train—they were on their way back to the school.
Tang Qi had no plans to meet the students but instead stood up, looked at Eva, and said, "The school is in your hands for now. Should any unmanageable situations arise, I will return as fast as I can."
"Okay!"
Eva seemed prepared and aware of what Tang Qi intended to do, and she solemnly agreed.
As her words fell, Eva couldn’t hold back and came up to hug Tang Qi, then smilingly added: "On this new journey, you will obtain what you desire... a prediction from a witch."
Hearing this, Tang Qi replied with a smile: "I trust you. Ms. Taoles also foretold the same last time."
"So, goodbye."
As the last word was uttered, Tang Qi stepped directly into the opened Magic Portal.
On the other side, inside the Library Tower, the "Library Tower Administrator" Willnas the Little Fairy, together with the Night Beast, were frantically feeding various books into Tang Qi’s suitcase, or rather, into the belly of "Gluttony."
Tang Qi did not fully step out, only extending a hand.
Grabbing the rampaging Gluttony, then retracting it back.
Whew!
The next instant, Tang Qi was sitting inside the "Queen Serano," in the comfortable rest area.
"Blue Deer City, Eric."
The control area of Queen, with a changed outfit and a transformative shift in aura.
After entering Merada Special Education School, he successfully received help from an "Undead Witch," who had sent a letter to his deceased relatives who he had not managed to bid farewell to, and received a reply within a day.
Healing his wounds and regrets, this former ace pilot finally regained his former elegance.
Combined with his profession "Storm Favored" and brought Extraordinary Power, the entire school, even including the Ancient Castle Bureau, couldn’t find anyone more suitable for the role of "Queen’s pilot" than him.
"By your command, Mr. Principal, you will personally witness a beautiful sunrise in Blue Deer City in half an hour."
The restored Eric Hartman responded with a smile.
...
Half an hour swiftly passed.
"Sir, we’ve arrived at Blue Deer City."
Eric’s voice carried from the front driving area.
Tang Qi slowly put away a new book related to the Wizard Sect, "Secret of Wizard Origin," he hadn’t even been able to read one-tenth of its content in half an hour.
It talked about Transcendents who became wizards through "Bloodline Power."
Most of these sects originated from an ancestor, either a mother or father, who, after mating with a powerful Extraordinary Creature, gave birth to offspring who possessed extraordinary bloodlines and subsequently rose to prominence.
In fact, in the Mysterious Side, it’s not only the Wizard Sects; many other Professions followed a similar path to prominence.
Examples even exist in reality.
For instance, if Tang Qi’s good friend, Jason, who was originally a Demon Hunter with initially blank attributes, might be able to develop a new Profession or sect with his high Talent or intelligence as he grew.
Of course, this is just a possibility.
Creating a new Profession sect is naturally not that simple.
Just like now, he had just returned from the Southern Continent and couldn’t "wait" to begin a new adventure.
Prompted by Rafael’s warning and information brought by Stanna, Tang Qi decided to accelerate his pace.
As a "Melter Wizard" with a clear path, he only needed to follow his Cultivation steps; use Fuel when available, offer sacrifices to Evil Gods when encountered, and not actively seek them out otherwise.
Simply put: not active, not dying, not responsible.
His Combative Profession aside from being a Melter Wizard is naturally only one left.
Ralph Witchcraft!
A brand new Wizard Sect, mysterious and strange in its birth.
Life Spell, Guardian Spell, Soul Splitting Spell... Each witchcraft spell amazed people, with Life Spell and Soul Splitting Spell even touching on domains only Divine beings could master.
Such a sect isn’t even fully formed yet.
After all, other than Tang Qi, there isn’t a second practitioner in this entire sect.
The rightful inheritors of "Ralph Witchcraft," the Mad Wizard Ralph’s children, El and Lia, missed their opportunity to practice due to the cut-off of the Spiritual Tide.
Afterwards, the Mad Wizard’s Notebook fell into Tang Qi’s hands.
He used the blood of "El Ralph" to decrypt the seals.
But at that time, Tang Qi was not nearly as strong as now, felt a heavy sense of crisis, feeling barely able to protect himself.
Naturally, he did not choose to pass on the witchcraft to El’s family.
In fact, even now, Tang Qi has not decided whether to introduce "El’s family" to the Extraordinary World.
Although the real world progressively becomes more dangerous, there are always bigger people to handle these issues.
Before the official and Church management goes out of control, such a stable situation should be maintainable.
But once they enter the Extraordinary World, they must face those horrifying Extraordinary Creatures, deadly Mysterious Events, and bizarre Evil Gods directly... The students of the Witch School will not stay sheltered by the school forever under Tang Qi and the teachers’ protection.
After they grow up, they would eventually need to graduate.
"If Ralph resurrected, would he be willing to let his bloodline descendants enter the dangerous Mysterious Side?"
Just as Tang Qi formed this question in his mind, an answer jumped out.
"If Ralph were to resurrect, he would likely first summon his home’s lolita goddess... As for his children, what are they?"
After questioning and answering himself, Tang Qi put away the thick book, stood up, and not far away, the cabin door opened, carrying the distinctly cold, mist-laden breeze of early morning that wafted in.
Tang Qi picked up "Gluttony" and walked down from the cabin.
But in front of him was an incredibly beautiful river flowing directly towards the faraway direction of the "Great Lake," wide and tranquil. The Queen, now activated with a constant "Concealment Magic Circuit," like a shadow of nothingness, was blending into the rising Sun, basking in the warm sunlight.
Tang Qi turned around and looked at the source of the "Blue Deer River"—a high mountain closely bordering Blue Deer City.
Unlike the mountain range of "Cold River Town" Tang Qi visited before, named "Deer Mountain," it did not carry a hint of coldness. It was more majestic and graceful, with one glance seeming to breathe its sweet, cool air.
"In comparison, this beautiful, peaceful city is more dangerous than the gloomy Messer City."
"Not counting Ralph, nor the encounters with wild magics like the Witch Crocodile, just considering the bottomless Abyss located in ’Cold River Town,’ and the unknown, mysterious, colorful bubbles hidden underneath..."
"With my current strength, maybe I could go explore a bit?"
Just as the dangerous idea arose, Tang Qi immediately snuffed it out.
In his mind, he automatically recalled the content of the book "How did the Melting Furnace go out?"
"Never proactively seek death!"
Once the decision was set, Tang Qi’s mind brought up an address, the address of El’s family.
"At the foot of Deer Mountain, an old villa."
In a thought, Tang Qi transformed into a thin wisp of smoke, following the clear, broad Blue Deer River, avoiding the slightly busier city area of Blue Deer City, heading towards the cloud-covered, beautiful, green peak of Deer Mountain.
His purpose for this journey was to reconnect with El Ralph, hoping to obtain Ralph’s life trajectory from his memory.
Since it was a new Wizard Sect, the origin must have a trace to follow.
Finding the key node, Tang Qi might follow Ralph’s path, continuing further, possibly even creating a more powerful witchcraft.
