Chapter 318: Doubts and Undercurrents

In addition to the two disciples, Ivan met Mond Wakin. Judging from his face and aura, the old dean was getting older and older, and he was probably not far from the stage of declining strength.

“Dean Ivan, you have made a great name for yourself. I have heard about it even from my hut in Mona Ant Field.”

“Haha, I do have some reputation, all thanks to the support of the guild.”

“I also tried to join the Enchanting Guild, but unfortunately I didn’t meet the requirements. Unlike Dean Ivan, you easily became an important elder, which makes an old guy like me ashamed.”

After the meeting, Mond kept saying good things.

It’s no wonder that he has such an attitude. It’s been less than ten years since the other party left, and everything has changed completely.

Not to mention his fame, identity and status which were far beyond his reach, just in terms of strength, he felt that he was slightly stronger than himself. It was a little unbelievable, but it was a living fact.

Mond was secretly glad that he did not act impulsively at the beginning, and the two sides reconciled and became allies.

Although the decision at that time brought frustration, looking back on it today, it was undoubtedly extremely wise. A little bit of frustration was nothing, as it would be the wisest decision he had ever made in his life.

“Dean Wakin, you didn’t come here just because you heard the rumors about me, did you?” Ivan could see that the other party was very humble and probably had some ulterior motive.

“Of course not. I know the Crimson Cloud Realm very well. It only produces items that are beneficial to insects.” Mond has been in the Moon Clamp Peninsula for hundreds of years, so he naturally would not be deceived by rumors.

Furthermore, he knew very well how the person in front of him became a second-level wizard.

“That’s right, the Crimson Cloud Realm is not a secret.”

Ivan nodded, this was normal.

In fact, he had seen more detailed information about the Crimson Cloud Realm in the Vernon Millennium Archives, some of which were very old.

As Solomon said last time, the original name of the Crimson Cloud Realm should be “Dead Worm Cloud Realm”.

There is a credible theory about the origin of the Cloud Realm. It is said that after the death of a powerful Black Scythe Lord in ancient times, his corpse was transformed into a secret realm by chance.

The items produced in the Crimson Cloud Realm are all related to the power of the Black Scythe Lord, and the Black Scythe Lord himself is a member of the insect species.

“People in this world are so ignorant and greedy. The Ancient Tree Ridge Academy has left things unchecked. I don’t know what kind of trouble will arise this time.” Mond sighed.

“Has the spine of the ancient tree always been like this?” Ivan’s heart moved.

“It was fine before, but they have become so conservative in recent decades. Some people suspect that they have discovered some treasure at the bottom of the Gunther Rift Valley and have conducted exploration.

However, the power of the Ancient Tree Spine is amazing in secret, and it has frightened the coveters with its thunderous force. “Mund said casually.

After listening to his narration and evaluation, Ivan realized that in terms of strength, Ancient Tree Ridge should be the number one college in Moon Clamp Peninsula.

Take the dean level for example, there are at least four of them in Ancient Tree Ridge.

In this regard, Ivan secretly sighed that he had underestimated the spine of the ancient tree, and he would have to plan carefully before visiting it again.

“Dean Ivan, can I ask you a question?”

“But it doesn’t matter.”

“I wonder what you think about wizards undergoing blood transformation?”

After chatting for a long time, Mond took the initiative to talk about the purpose of his visit, which seemed to be related to blood transformation.

As soon as he said this, Ivan understood that he was interested in bloodline modification, hoping to change his own aging condition.

“Being able to change one’s own qualifications and bring various powers is an option for us wizards.” He replied. He had discussed this issue with many wizards.

Many wizards believe that blood transformation is a “side path”.

“To be honest, I hope to undergo an in-depth blood transformation while I still have time,” Mond continued.

“Not a bad choice.” Ivan agreed. The other party was nearing the end of his life and his strength was about to decline. It might not be a bad idea to give it a try using unconventional methods.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“I heard that at the Enchanting Guild’s appreciation competition, someone once took out a set of rune magic arrays specifically for bloodline transformation. Is that true or not?” Seeing that he didn’t show any surprise, Mond continued to ask.

“Yes, the Bloodline Transformation Array and the Bloodline Purification Array were both shown at the Guild Competitions in the four major capitals.”

“Is it included in the Enchanting Guild?”

“No, bloodline transformation has obvious disadvantages, and the guild does not want to help promote the bloodline transformation trend.”

Hearing his words, Mond couldn’t help but look disappointed.

He wanted to transform his bloodline, and using this set of rune magic arrays was a good way to do it. If he could get help from an elder of the Enchanting Guild, the situation would be even more perfect.

Unfortunately, he misjudged the attitude of the Enchanting Guild. “Actually, you don’t have to worry. The Guild has not taken any measures to suppress it. Bloodline transformation has become a trend now. It’s not difficult to find someone to inquire about it.”

“Dean Ivan, could you please ask for me?” Mond asked.

“No problem, let’s talk about it when I get back to Dongdu. There will be news soon.” Ivan did not refuse.

It would be a piece of cake to go back and find out about this through the Five Leaf Spear.

“Please.” Mond knew that his current status was extraordinary, and he felt much more at ease after hearing him say that.

The two talked for a while, and Mond vaguely revealed his intention that from now on, whether it was the people in the Mona Ant Farm Hut or the people from the three major families outside, they would respect him and let him command them.

Ivan declined outright.

He was considering upgrading to a third-level wizard. The Mona Ant Farm hut was fine, but what value did those people in the Bloody Corridor have to him? It was not worth mentioning at all.

As for the Mona Ant Lodge, he is one of the deans. His strength and status are there, so he doesn’t need Mond to make any promises.

Soon, Mond left the valley with regret. He was not an insect controller, but came here specifically for Ivan. After the conversation, he chose to stay away from Falling Cloud City, not wanting to pay attention to the disturbances here.

The day after Mond left, Ivan also met Gina and Mien.

After Gina became an official wizard, her strength increased a lot.

Mien’s situation was rather miserable. Like many apprentices, he failed once and then failed twice in his attempt to be promoted. Now, there was an indelible gloom between his brows.

“Gina, Randall has never contacted you in any way?”

“At first, the mentor said he would go to the southern part of China Continent, a place called ‘Pengdala City’, to look for the insect controller organization he mentioned earlier. After he went there, there was no contact.”

When it comes to mentor Randall, Ivan and Gina are both a little worried.

It is not difficult to judge from the changes in the strange phenomenon that the Crimson Cloud Realm will open soon, which is about three or four days. But so far, Randall has not contacted them. Even if he sent a few Nine-Colored Glass Insects back to the academy, there is no message at all.

Their messages all fell on deaf ears, which made them think too much.

“Pengdala City in the southern district? I’ve made a note of it. Let me handle the matter. Maybe he is just obsessed with a certain research.” Various information emerged in Ivan’s mind, but he had no impression of Pengdala City.

The China continent is vast and boundless, and the number of cities of various kinds is difficult to count. It is normal that there are people you don’t know about it.

“I hope so.” Gina sighed worriedly.

Randall has always been a good mentor. He has done his best to serve all his apprentices, which is much better than Ivan, who is a hands-off boss.

Ivan clearly remembered the help and guidance he gave him. Without the help of his mentor, he would not have been able to grow so fast.

If anything happened to Randall, Ivan wouldn’t mind going to that insect controller organization and causing a big commotion.

“Mien, when the Crimson Cloud Realm is over, I will help you become a formal wizard. Don’t go too far recently.” Finally, he instructed another fellow disciple, Mien.

“Hurry up~ Thank you, Brother Ivan.” After Gina’s reminder, the stunned Mien hurriedly thanked her.

Mien decided that he would stay in the valley for the next few days, even if it was just in a cave.

Ivan ignored him and turned around to give Locke an order, asking him to take the Silkworm Queen to wander around Jiangyun City and see if he could use the method that Randall used to find someone who also had the aura of Blackbeard Music.

Two days later, Randall still didn’t show up.

Ivan specifically sought out his mentor’s best friends, Jasmine and Brent, who had lost contact with Randall for a longer time and knew nothing about his current situation.

……

Not far from Jiangyun City, in a forest, there is also a temporary resting place.

Compared with the noise in other places, the atmosphere in the mountains and forests seemed particularly solemn. Looking at the red glow that appeared in the sky at noon, some people had murderous intent in their eyes.

“The target is difficult to find. None of Robert and the others escaped. We must go all out this time.” These people were actually from the Thunder Clan, but they were fully disguised.

The failure of the operation at the Thread of Light in Thunder Bluff made the remaining assassins realize how powerful their target was, and they only regretted not taking action earlier.

In fact, it’s not their fault. The target used to always hide in Dongdu, or in a place like the Enchantment Guild, which made them helpless. Now the opponent has obviously grown up.

Therefore, the first team must be more cautious.

“Even if we are completely wiped out, we must keep our goal there.”

“Yes, wizards have only been around for a few thousand years. How can they compare with us? They know nothing about our methods.”

The first team has fewer people than the second team led by Robert, but they are full of confidence. They think that ThunderClan has a history of 50,000 years and has countless methods that are not understandable to mere human wizards.
