Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 416: Chapter 415: Seeking Help Together

East Capital, after Ivan’s return, his life had become more regulated.

He still had plenty to do, slowly and steadily boosting his spiritual power, mastering the Domain Aura of Sacrificial Light, and researching the various things under his command, such as the Silver Moon Blade, Divine Power Short Spear, and Insect Breathing Method.

Sometimes, he would teach Locke how to utilize his power and guide Angie on how to properly cultivate the Knight’s Path.

At times, he would also join Justine and Pearney, mingling day and night.

It’s worth mentioning that during the time he spent with Angie, she gradually became overwhelmed by his talent and couldn’t help but offer him her full heart and soul.

Justine and Pearney had anticipated this would happen.

They didn’t show any dissatisfaction in front of him, but behind the scenes, they gave Angie a good talking-to, one after another, clarifying their respective status.

In Ivan’s view, the days since his return to the Rapid Wood Tower had been so orderly.

One day, in the meditation room, through the Book of Leaf Sift, Ivan contacted Hotter, his superior at the Five Leaves Spear. This superior, a rather idle Level 4 Sorcerer, was easy to reach.

“Ivan, you’re back from the underground world. How was the harvest? There must be many beauties among the alien races down there, especially from the Komore Empire. Did you bring back a Dark Night Elf by any chance?”

Through the light screen woven by the Book of Leaf Sift, the figure of Hotter appeared, immediately starting the conversation with an unserious inquiry.

“Somewhat,” Ivan responded, slightly taken aback and a bit embarrassed.

“Oh? I actually guessed right? Don’t tell me it’s one of the gorgeous Dark Night Elf Queens.” Hotter’s interest piqued further, and he kept pressing.

“It’s a distressed princess from the Centaur Royal Family.” Ivan felt somewhat speechless inside, but he responded truthfully nonetheless.

“A distressed alien princess and a wise, handsome sorcerer—this sounds like something out of a human hero novel. You really did well; you truly have the spirit of a real sorcerer, hahaha.” Hotter, assuming a look of peership, lavishly praised him.

Hearing this, Ivan smiled awkwardly.

Fortunately, his superior didn’t dwell on the jest and promptly returned to serious matters. Ivan chose his words and briefly reported the current situation of the first layer underground and some of his findings.

“You’re quite lucky, just as you said, there indeed are magic stone mines in the underground world, along with many resources that we sorcerers can use, particularly the ore metal resources.”

“I never knew about the Ancient War Trees, and as for your mention of the Dark Night Mother Goddess—she is a truly great being, exactly the kind of power we lack, a force that alone could level our sorcerer world.”

“The Stone Race’s Giant Stone Armor Soldiers are indeed worth studying, but we can’t study them openly. The Stone Race is not to be trifled with.”

“Pfft! You went there once and have already caught the attention of the Lava Lord? Such bad luck, just like your friend Solomon—you two—hahaha, truly good friends indeed.”

Hearing that he was being hunted by the Lava Lord, who also made it clear he remembered him, Hotter laughed unscrupulously.

Faced with such an easygoing superior, Ivan felt rather helpless and could only stand there, waiting for the laughter to stop.

Suddenly, Ivan recalled something about what the Dark Night Mother Goddess had mentioned, that this epochal will of Danaila favored sorcerers, hence sorcerers wouldn’t be suppressed by local powerhouses, and some of his concerns could be alleviated.

However, this matter was too entangled and also involved the Mother of Earth Core. Once revealed, it was uncertain if those above would have other intentions.

If he didn’t disclose everything, the words he spoke would have no foundation, and I’m afraid those above wouldn’t believe him.

“Ha ha ha, no more laughing, ha ha, no more, um, I won’t tease you anymore.” It took a while for Hotter to stop laughing and change the subject, “Ivan, is there anything else you want to say, ha ha.”

“There’s another matter, I’m uncertain whether or not to mention it.”

“Then go ahead, your question implies that you’re willing to talk, right?”

“Alright, just listen for now, as I cannot judge the truth of this matter. In fact, due to certain reasons, by a fortuitous coincidence, I became the Saint Heir of the Komore Empire’s temple, and I heard a rather secret message—”

As the saying goes, ‘when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact’, as a sorcerer, Ivan naturally hoped that this group would thrive and always shield him.

Therefore, he chose to reveal the secretive message spoken by the Dark Night Mother Goddess.

To assert the authenticity of his identity, he also displayed the pattern-transformed Silver Moon Blade, a Holy Artifact pervaded by the unique aura of the Dark Night Mother Goddess.

Hotter listened with an expression that gradually grew solemn and, after a moment of silence, he commented gravely.

“This message of yours—it’s very valuable.”

“Indeed, through various signs, the sorcerers of the Botta Supreme Council have made analyses and guesses concerning this matter, but guesses are just guesses, as no one has ever confirmed this for us and there’s always this concern for safety.

As far as we know, the Dark Night Mother Goddess is closely related to the Mother of Earth Core, who frequently accompanies the great will; hence, the message she conveyed should be true, after all, the Dark Night Mother Goddess has no reason to deceive you, a Level 3 being.”

Ivan silently nodded, not trying to reveal that the Mother of Earth Core had fallen, fearing that if the news sparked a chain reaction, his frail self could not endure it.

“Ivan, good job, I will report this to the Supreme Council. Anything else?”

“There is one small thing, I managed to get quite a bit of fine wine from the Dark Night Elf Court, one barrel of which they say is over four thousand years old, I’ll bring it to you the next time I’m in Botta Blood Plain.”

Previously, to hasten his departure, the High Priest and the Mother Main would grant him anything he asked for, and Ivan took the opportunity to request some Elven wine, which Lucysia generously had delivered quickly.

Thus, it was clear that he was indeed despised at that time, a first in both his past and present life.

“Over four thousand years!” Hotter’s eyes widened upon hearing this, his mouth watering at the thought. “That’s no small matter, you just wait, don’t go anywhere these next few days, I’ll send someone immediately.

Also, I’ll look into who has been tarnishing the reputation of human sorcerers, indirectly causing you trouble.”

“No, you don’t need to look—listen.” Upon hearing the latter part of his statement, Ivan quickly reached out, trying to stop him, but Hotter seemed to have vanished, leaving behind an empty hologram. @@novelbin@@

Seeing this, Ivan felt somewhat helpless.

As time passed, the subordinate Hotter had sent hadn’t yet arrived in East Capital, instead it was Angus and Dorothy who showed up together at Rapid Wood Tower.

“Scholar, there’s a matter in which we need your assistance.” As soon as Angus stood firm, he bluntly began to speak.

“That’s right, this matter is most appropriately handled by you, the other party thinks so too, it’s almost as if your name was directly pointed out.” Beside him, Dorothy chimed in.

The two spoke abruptly, leaving Ivan confused, but he signaled them to continue.

Then he found out it was merely about advancing to an official sorcerer, neither a major nor a minor issue, but the identity of the other party was somewhat special, being an Alien Race person who had sought refuge with the sorcerers, holding no low status among their kind.
