What do you mean by I can only be the Great Sage of the Door of Conundrum? Baiyi could not help but laugh at that statement. Immediately, he asked in the Void, "Has the Door of Conundrum always been so full of confidence?"
"That's for sure. After all, I'm a scholar. " The Scholar replied confidently, "But in my opinion, you might as well accept this identity. Even though the Great Sage of the Door of Conundrum is not a very impressive title, it's not a common title either. It's very suitable to be used as a sockpuppet."
Hearing the Scholar, who had always been strict and formal, suddenly saying the word sockpuppet, Baiyi felt like laughing even more. For a moment, he ignored Vidomina and the President and put on a posture of deep thought as he continued to chat with the Voidwalkers.
The Door of Conundrum was an academic organization. The evaluation of a Great Sage was not based on the person's strength or rank but on the results of their academic research. Not only that, it was not limited to the aspect of strength but it also covered all aspects of nature, geography, history and culture. For thousands of years, countless Great Sages had been produced.
At the same time, because of the long history of the organization, the members were very complicated and the internal management was not very strict. It was very lax to the point that no one even recorded the names of all the Great Sages. As long as Baiyi could take out the proof of identity of a Great Sage, the Seal of the Great Sage, basically no one would doubt his true identity.
Just like what the Scholar had said, such an academic organization that stood aloof from worldly affairs and at the same time was full of loopholes was indeed very suitable to hide one's identity.
Even the Archmage agreed, "This is a suggestion worth considering. Your identity is still a problem that needs to be solved. Now that someone has taken the initiative to come to our door and it fits you so well, why don't you just accept it?"
"Of course it's not a problem for me to wear a sockpuppet. But what about this little girl in front of me?" Baiyi continued, "A Saint Quartz staff is not worth it for me to get involved in this mess but she is the daughter of a Duke. This makes me a little hesitant... Sir Apprentice, have you heard of this Grand Duke of Wright?"
"Back then, he was just an Earl, and his family wasn't all that prominent. Later, he built up his family's wealth through the expansion of realms. Then, during the recent civil war in the Southland, he resolutely supported the Walthart Empire. After that, he was promoted from an Earl to a Duke, and now, he owns a large piece of land, including Arfin City. Right now, we're in his territory," the Apprentice Walker said, briefly explaining Vidomina's family background.
"Is that so? 'Interesting … A sick duke with real power and an inexperienced little girl. Wouldn't it be a waste if I don't do anything in this situation?' I've decided to help this little guy. What do you guys think? "Baiyi asked.
"Of course I have to help, and I have to help them properly." Surprisingly, the Lich, who was always up to no good, was the first one to jump out and support Baiyi.
"On this matter, I have the same opinion as this evil skeleton. If you can influence a Duke, it's more useful than repairing the armor of ten thousand people. This is also a common trick of the Church," the Cleric chimed in. Said the clergyman, whose name suggested that he was a man of many opinions on the subject.
"Oh no no no! We don't have the same opinion. Perhaps, you just want to influence the people in this territory to gradually accept the existence of the Voidwalkers? I can tell you clearly that this is basically impossible. I think you know the Church's style better than me. The only way is to control this little girl in front of us and turn her into our puppet before making her a Duchess. That way, we can create a territory that is willing to fight against the Church, "the Lich explained. Hmm, that was the standard way of thinking for his identity.
However, the two of them were thinking too far ahead and too idealistic. Baiyi, on the other hand, was much more rational. First, he stopped the war between good and evil that was about to break out and said, "I won't give her too much help, and I won't kill her entire family to push her to the throne of the Duchess. I won't place my hope on using a mere Duke's territory to fight against the Church and the secular world. I will only give her a recommendation that she wants, that's all."
After that, he turned to the Scholar and asked, "Madam Scholar, based on your understanding of the Door of Conundrum, what do you think are the chances of her finding a way to break the Door of Conundrum before the Duke dies?"
"Very slim," the Scholar replied. The Scholar replied, "If the Bloodline Curse could be broken so easily, then it wouldn't be called the most vicious curse in the world. Not to mention saving her father, even saving herself would be a rare and precious feat."
"That's good. Let's wait for her to come to us again," Baiyi said. Vidomina and the Immortal Level sorcerer were two chess pieces that had been placed in the game. All he needed to do now was to wait patiently for the next change to happen.
So, in reality, he moved his limbs slightly and stood up. Taking the Saint Quartz staff from Vidomina's hand, he said in a low voice, "There are some things that I've almost forgotten. Alright, I can give you a recommendation. "
Vidomina's face lit up and she quickly took out a recommendation letter that she had written a long time ago from her pocket. Baiyi reached out and tapped on the bottom of the letter lightly. A strange rune immediately appeared on the letter.
That was the Seal of the Great Sage of the Door of Conundrum. From the outside, it looked like a rune with a unique shape but only those who knew about it would be able to see that it was actually a miniature formation that was made into a rune.
"Thank you so much, Master Hope. Not only did you save my father, you've also saved the people of the Southland from the scourge of war …" Vidomina said, giving Baiyi a big compliment. That was the Seal of the Great Sage of the Door of Conundrum.
These clichés were very smooth. You're here to save the world? The situation in the Southland is so stable now. I don't believe that the death of a Duke will cause a civil war. This is not Sarajevo and your surname is not Ferdinand. Baiyi shook his head inwardly and said, "Well then, we're even now. Goodbye."
"This is the last time I would like to express my gratitude to you," Vidomina said respectfully. Vidomina said respectfully. At the same time, she gave Baiyi a deep bow, showing off her beautiful chest in front of him as if it was a matter of course.
Holy sh * t! She's not even a few years older than Mia, right? How … How could she be so big? Baiyi thought awkwardly. Usually when she was wrapped in her sorcerer's robe, it was not obvious at all. But now that she had bowed down, it was obvious that she was even bigger than Mia, Tisdale and Undine combined. Alright, even though Mia's size did not count, but still, isn't her body a little too mature?
Maybe I should prepare some milk or something for her in the future? Mia is obviously superior in every aspect but this is the only thing that she's losing so badly … Baiyi thought as he left the Principal's office.
Vidomina, on the other hand, had a look of relief on her face after she closed the door. She smiled at the Dean and said, "You were right, Dean. Master Hope is an easy-going person. I'm sure he'll be satisfied with my gift, won't he?"
"Indeed. I've heard that he takes special care of his little Soul Armature Practitioner like a father taking care of his daughter. If you tell him the truth, I think you'll be able to get his support." The Principal let out a sigh of relief. It was not easy for him to face the pressure from the Duke and the academy's tradition for such a long time. Now that the problem had been solved, naturally, he felt a lot more relaxed. Of course, he would also put in a good word for Baiyi.
"I'll contact the Great Sage Kurtz right now." Vidomina fished out a mirror-like crystal from her bosom, and through a special communication circle, she got in touch with her inept advisor. It was Vidomina who had deduced Baiyi's identity, and it was Vidomina who had suggested to contact Baiyi directly.
As soon as the communication was connected, a bald old man appeared in the mirror. At the same time, he saw the relaxed smile on Vidomina's face. Quickly, he asked, "Miss, you've convinced that Master Hope?"
"Yes. Master Hope is very understanding of my feelings," Vidomina replied as she showed the Seal of the Great Sage that Baiyi had left behind in front of the mirror.
"Hmm … Try to activate this seal with your Mana. Yes, just lightly touch it with your Mana," the incompetent advisor added.
Vidomina quickly did as she was told. Immediately, a dazzling light burst out from the seal, illuminating the entire room. In the midst of the light, books could be seen floating in the air, surrounding a faint, blurry silhouette of a person.
The whole process only lasted for a few seconds before the light and silhouette disappeared and the seal returned to its original state. Although it was just a simple image, it was definitely not an easy task to add such a small image into such a small seal! Many great sages only knew how to use it themselves but they did not understand the principles and mysteries behind it. That was why the Door of Conundrum only needed such a seal to confirm the identity of the great sage. It was because the person who could decipher and forge the seal was already qualified to be their great sage.
"This is the real and authentic Seal of the Great Sage!" Great Sage Kurtz exclaimed excitedly, "Looks like my speculation was right. Now, things will be easier. Miss, please come to the Tower of Knowledge as soon as possible. I'll guide you to join the Door of Conundrum. I've also sorted out some information about the curse on the Duke's body. You'll be able to dive into it very soon."
"Thank you for your help, Great Sage Kurtz," Vidomina said with a hint of excitement. Vidomina said politely. Although the woman was once her father's subordinate, she did not put on the airs of a young lady.
