Magus World, White Tower.
In a spacious hall on the seventh floor of the White Tower, Magus Meryl was staring blankly at a piece of parchment that had just arrived.
There was only a short line of words on the soft and glossy parchment. It told her to immediately hand over control of the White Tower to the Witch of Destiny, Chave, and report back to the Blazing Flame Monarch.
As for the reason and time of departure, the letter did not mention anything.
Such a sudden letter was enough to strip Magus Meryl of her family's authority. Anyone else would not be able to do this. However, only the person who had written this letter could!
At the bottom right corner of the parchment was a unique imprint formed by a fire spell. It was burning faintly, but it did not damage the parchment in the slightest.
Of course, Meryl could recognise it. This was the personal imprint of her teacher, Grim.
She gently caressed the burning imprint with her fingers. She felt a slight burning pain, but she could also feel the aura of magic emanating from the imprint.
This was the imprint that her teacher had personally carved!
If her teacher had something to tell her, all he had to do was send a message to summon her. But now, her teacher's secret letter in the form of an official document had clearly requested her to hand over control of the White Tower. This … The situation was a little different from before.
Did something happen in the family? Was someone slandering her behind her back? Was this letter forged? … …
A series of questions arose from the bottom of her heart. However, as she caressed her teacher's unique imprint, Meryl gradually calmed herself down.
The White Tower had always been jointly controlled by Meryl and the Witch of Destiny, Chave. However, with Meryl as the leader, Chave was only in charge of some matters related to the Witch of Destiny. That was why her teacher had transferred her away and temporarily handed over control of the White Tower to Chave.
However, Meryl had been in charge of the White Tower for so many years, and she had devoted most of her time and energy to it. Many long and short term development plans were being carried out in an orderly manner. To suddenly transfer her away at this time, Meryl was really worried that her successor would mess things up.
That Chave Witch was too cold, and her methods were not slick enough. If Meryl said she wasn't worried about the thousands of Magi and acolytes in the White Tower being in her hands, she would be lying to herself if she said she wasn't worried.
"What do you know about this letter?" Meryl frowned and could not help but ask Venlier who was beside her.
Dressed in a luxurious noble robe, Venlier, who had a handsome face and a straight posture, replied in a cultured and refined manner, "The letter was sent by Lady Mary, and the person who handled it was someone she could trust, so there's no problem with the letter. And … Lady Mary sent someone to pass on a message. This is a good thing, you must not hesitate! "
The letter had been sent through Mary's channels, and not through the Blazing Flame Monarch and the White Tower's normal channels. This seemed to indicate that Leylin did not wish for the Blazing Flame Monarch to receive this news too early. Could something have happened to the Gargamel?
Filled with doubt and confusion, Meryl invited the Fate Witch Cheff and handed her a crystal rune the size of a fist. This crystal rune was the core item that controlled the White Tower's spirit, and was an important symbol of Meryl's status.
The Chave Witch seemed to know something, and did not ask any questions. Instead, she asked Count Venlier to continue with his duties. The White Tower announced to the outside that Wizard Meryl was conducting an important Wizard Experiment, and would not meet any of her subordinates in the short term.
Even though such a thing was rare, it had happened a few times in the past, so it did not raise the suspicions of anyone in the White Tower.
… …
The light of the teleportation slowly faded.
Meryl finally got over the dislocation of the long-distance teleportation, and once again saw the scene in front of her clearly.
This was not the public Teleportation Formation of the Blazing Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda, but a secret Teleportation Formation in the fifth level of the Wizard's Pagoda. Meryl saw a tall, flaming human figure standing outside the Teleportation Formation the moment she opened her eyes, silently scrutinizing her.
Meryl, of course, knew that the flaming human figure was one of her teacher's fire clones, so she hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"It's good that you're here!" The flaming human figure nodded slightly at her. "Come with me, you might have to stay here for a while …"
Led by the flaming human figure, Meryl arrived at a biology lab on the fifth level of the Wizard's Pagoda. Looking at the glassware of all sizes, and the strange specimen models floating in it, Meryl was both excited and in awe.
This … was the secret lab of a high-level Wizard!
Even if he was Zhang Xuan's disciple, without sufficient reason, it was impossible for him to step in. Everything that had happened here was proof of the firm steps that her teacher had taken in biological and bloodline experiments.
As for the topic and direction of her teacher's research, it was difficult for Meryl to discern it with her limited knowledge and high-level knowledge. However, she had her own unique method of discernment, and that was to look at the level of the experimental targets.
Out of the hundreds of living specimens in the biology lab, she could identify less than eleven. The only creatures that could be identified as specimens were all terrifying Class 2 or 3 Magical Beasts.
Meryl recognized the most eye-catching magical creature specimen. It was the level three Eye Demon that she had encountered seven years ago when the White Tower was expanding to the outside world. Now, the Eye Demon had become a living specimen in her teacher's private lab, floating in a glass jar filled with a brownish-yellow liquid. It was unknown whether it was dead or alive.
There were four other specimens that had powerful auras similar to the Eye Demon.
Even though they had been dead for a long time, the powerful and ferocious aura that permeated their bodies could not be easily taken away even in death!
Led by the flaming human figure, Meryl passed through rows of strange and ferocious-looking specimens and finally met her teacher in front of a small and exquisite lab table.
The flaming human figure took a step forward and gently touched Grimm's body, merging with him once again.
Grimm straightened his body and turned to look at Meryl.
"Teacher, did you ask me to come here?"
Meryl could not help but sigh whenever she saw Grimm's young and handsome face.
Her teacher was clearly older than her, but in terms of appearance and appearance, her disciple looked older than her teacher.
Although Meryl's face was beautiful and exquisite, there was a sense of age and vicissitudes in her eyes. Grimm, on the other hand, was still as handsome and robust as ever. He had a straight nose, deep black eyes, and a youthful aura that was so strong that one could smell it.
Given the short lifespan of a Grade 1 Magus, Meryl, who was over 140 years old, was in the middle of her life's later stages. Her teacher had already become a Grade 3 Magus, and the basic lifespan of a Grade 3 Magus was 700 to 800 years old. Her teacher was only 160 years old, which was indeed the golden period of his life.
That was why Grimm, as her teacher, looked younger and more energetic than Meryl, who was his disciple. Of course, such a scene was very common among the Magi community, and it was something that Magi were used to.
"Yes, I specifically called you over this time. Stay here for the time being, and don't have any contact with the outside world. I have a special spell experiment that I need you to stay here and help me complete! " Grimm didn't care about the suspicious look in Meryl's eyes at all, and he immediately arranged the matter.
"But … Teacher, the matters at the White Tower have just been settled. There are still many things to deal with in Dofland City and Musent City. That Princess Vanessa is also messing around in the White Tower. We need to arrange for the collection of resources for this season as well. The deal with the Dark Witches … "As Grimm's disciple, Meryl was obviously more intimate and indulgent than outsiders. She could not help but complain softly.
However, her words were quickly interrupted by Grimm.
"Meryl, what is the most important thing to a Magus?" Grimm's tall figure stood upright, his black eyes looking at her indifferently.
"Knowledge? It seems that many Magi believe that knowledge is power! But in recent years, I've felt that authority is also very important. With authority, you can gather resources faster and better. It seems that authority is also a good thing! However, there are many Magi who believe in innate gifts, thinking that innate gifts can decide everything … "Meryl pondered seriously, her expression gradually becoming blurry and fluctuating.
"Meryl, the most important thing to a Magus is power!" Grimm said firmly.
"Power?" Meryl could not help but repeat the words.
"Power is what a Magus should pursue. Only with power can a Magus stand proudly among the masses and become a powerful race that rules and controls everything in the world. " Grimm paused for a moment, "As for the knowledge, authority, and innate gifts you mentioned, they are just a way for Magi to obtain power. With knowledge, if you are unable to transform it into a powerful witchcraft ability, then knowledge will also be weak! "
"Authority is a derivative of power. It is only a side effect of power, and should not be the goal of a powerful Magus!"
"Innate gifts determine how easy it is for a Magus to obtain power! If you have an extraordinary innate gift, it will undoubtedly speed up your progress, making your path of advancement smoother and shorter. "
