Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 471: Chapter 470: Attack from All Sides
 

In a room at the top of the sorcerer tower, no one interrupted Ivan as he explained all his ideas, his plan of action, and the scope of knowledge involved in one breath.

He shared everything he could think of.

In fact, he had briefly mentioned it to Hotter before, but since Hotter wasn’t a professional, he couldn’t discern the nuances.

The other three, however, were different—Doradoli, Moxiu were leaders of the School of Space, and Hardy was a Great Sage, considered the wisest among sorcerers.

The three of them listened with bright eyes and increasing smiles on their faces, but they restrained the surging excitement in their hearts and did not interrupt him.

“Good! Good, young man, you should dare to think and act.”

“This isn’t too ambitious; rather, it’s just right, Ivan. You really haven’t let us down.”

“Unfortunately, I have stayed in Sky Flow Valley long enough and must return to Chanay Continent first. Otherwise, I would definitely stay to witness your further astonishing achievements and uphold the reputation of our Chanay division.”

After Ivan had finished explaining, the three of them had come to a definite judgment.

It wasn’t mere boasting, but a full plan with a high likelihood of practical application, and the results should not disappoint.

They unanimously acknowledged this, welcoming him with high praise.

However, upon hearing the President Hardy’s final words, Ivan didn’t know what to say, since the President was about to set off on his return at this time.

“What? Can’t bear to part with me, the President?” Seeing his unusual expression, Hardy laughed.

“Don’t worry, Ivan, with me here, no one will harm you,” Hotter quickly promised, patting his chest.

“Enough, this is Sky Flow Valley, our territory; it’s not your place to step in. Ivan, focus on studying the Town Recall Scroll; I’ve got everything covered here.”

Hearing this, Doradoli seemed a bit displeased and made a similar promise.

Naturally, Ivan lacked the influence to affect an arcane wizard’s comings and goings; he was just momentarily taken aback, especially since he had been previously preoccupied with thoughts of when to journey back to the East Capital.

Shortly after, he was led to a chamber not far from the room they had been in. It was smaller than the room before, resembling a small palace.

As soon as Ivan approached, he felt his spiritual power subtly fluctuate under a strange influence, and quickly, he steadied his mind, making it as immovable as a mountain.

“See this row of rooms? All contain records of teleportation array explorations, treasures left by our ancestor sorcerers.”

“Chaiqi Babbitt owned the room right in front of you.”

“The room contains records of exploring spatial network constructions to build pathways. Once you enter, you’ll understand. Grasp this opportunity to learn well, and don’t let down the efforts of our predecessors.”

Doradoli and Moxiu personally explained this to him, their tone especially solemn at this moment.

Influenced by them, Ivan couldn’t help but feel stirred.

“Ivan, inside is a unique form of knowledge transmission, created by arcane wizards using a vast amount of Soul Power, typically done only at the end of their lives, once in a lifetime.

To advance the development of the School of Space, many sorcerers have used it here.

The transmission here is also quite limited, three to five times at most. With each use, one less remains until all power is exhausted,” President Hardy added.

Hearing this, Ivan truly understood the significance of this row of rooms, and his heart grew more respectful.

“I understand now.”

At President Doradoli’s signal, Ivan bowed to the gathered individuals and stepped through the door into the room ahead.

The door behind him closed once again.

As Ivan entered the room, it was initially empty, but as he slowly walked towards the center, marvelous changes began to occur around him, everything rapidly transforming.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself in a different world that seemed to be a laboratory.

“Hurry over here, the exploration is about to begin.”

A refined sorcerer appeared ahead, and Ivan, following his instructions, came closer; without waiting for his greeting, the sorcerer began the journey of exploration.

As Moxiu had said, the exploration here targeted the construction of spatial paths, using a spatial network to build pathways.

The exploration unfolded in increasing complexity, revealing various paths layer by layer.

Moreover, Ivan could share some of the feelings and insights of this ancestor sorcerer during his experiments, which immediately made him feel as if he had returned to the Red Cloud Realm, experiencing the transformation memories of the Black Scythe Lord.

Different from that time, the inheritance here had become more flexible, ever changing according to his will; he was able to revisit sections he couldn’t understand and listen to the other’s teachings again and again.

An old man and a young one.

One was a teacher who seemed willing to give his all, the other a student tirelessly seeking knowledge.

In this space, the two sorcerers appeared especially harmonious.

Time passed by the minute and second, the room’s scenery continuously changed until Ivan finally heard the voice urging him to leave and with reluctance, he bid farewell to the teacher.

“Let’s stop here for today, go back and work hard.”

“Chaiqi Wizard, Ivan now takes his leave.”

Watching the young sorcerer’s departing figure, the old sorcerer revealed a gratified smile.

Everything in the room began to fade, quickly disappearing, turning back into emptiness. Ivan did not look back until he had stepped out of the room, at which point his thoughts finally returned to reality.

At that moment, his thoughts were heavy, as if weighed down.

He subconsciously looked back once more, and the door behind him closed again.

“How was it? You gained something, right?” Seeing his slow-thinking demeanor, President Doradoli said with a smile.

“Chaiqi Babitt, truly a great sage, his teachings have been immensely beneficial to me,” Ivan remarked feelingly.

“That is natural.”

Doradoli continued with a few instructions and made a promise.

Regarding his research, Sky Flow Valley would provide the utmost support, Doradoli himself and Moxiu could be called upon if necessary.

However, there was one demand: he needed to bring more people, all from Sky Flow Valley and certainly willing to follow orders.

Ivan did not refuse, for that was only natural.

Moreover, he indeed lacked people, and those from Sky Flow Valley had participated in anchor lighthouse research; such assistants were exactly what he needed and could significantly hasten his research pace.

Knowing that Ivan had just received an inheritance and was somewhat burdened spiritually, Doradoli and the others didn’t let him stay in the sorcerer tower for long.

Hotter accompanied Ivan outside the nine-level sorcerer tower.

“Ivan, is there anything you need me to do right now? Just say it, and I will certainly not be vague.”

“Find a way to travel to East Capital and bring Locke and Silkworm Queen to Sky Flow Valley.”

“I’ll send Korram. His speed is fast enough, and with him as a guard, safety won’t be an issue.”

Upon hearing Ivan’s request, Hotter immediately made arrangements and took special care to mention Korram’s capabilities.

Korram was the Wind and Thunder element creature he often sent to East Capital, humanoid in appearance but with a peculiar face and four pairs of Wind and Thunder Wings.

This subordinate’s apparent strength was that of a pseudo-lord, but through costly nurturing by Hotter, his ability in certain aspects had approached the brink of Level 4, and with various specially customised magic artifacts, his strength should not be underestimated.

“You make the arrangements.”

Ivan did not interfere further.

He actually had considered bringing Jennie along, but remembering a warning from the Dark Night Mother Goddess, he decided against it.

After returning to his two-level circular tower, it took him three full days to recover to his usual condition, vibrant once again.

On the fourth day, Ivan contacted Jennie from the hunting space, at their previously agreed time.

“Jennie, I’ll teach you about the aspect of space.”

“Sure, I’ve wanted to learn for a while now, and was just about to mention it.”

The two were in perfect sync; with just a slight hint from Ivan, Jennie knew how to cooperate.

He was well-prepared, planning to have Jennie consult the Dark Night Mother Goddess when they encountered a truly insurmountable difficulty; this was only an advance arrangement.

The levels of strength were different, leading to different perspectives.

The Dark Night Mother Goddess had a history several times longer than the rise of sorcerers, and the hunting space within the Silver Moon Blade was her creation; her expertise in space was undoubtedly profound.

Of course, like making Hotter bluff, this too was a measure not to be employed unless absolutely necessary.
