Vice-headmaster Jeffrey, who had arrived late, led a large group of Lighthouse Academy teachers in long robes to the airspace above the Dead Sea on an express mini airship.
As the Dead Sea's uniqueness had cut off most communication devices and contact methods, they could only use the most primitive method to search the Dead Sea.
Fortunately, there were a few players among these teachers who were proficient in search magic, so they did not have to waste too much time.
Jeffrey was dressed in a long white robe. He stood out among the large group of black and gray robes. He landed beside Yao Lie. Yao Lie pointed at the Dead Sea, and he was horrified. He immediately arranged for people to salvage the sunken ship.
"Li Xiang is a talent that our academy has spent a lot of effort to cultivate. We cannot let him die in a place like this." Jeffrey's voice was old but powerful. "If you can't find him, contact the rescue team at the Great Wall of Disaster. Find him even if you have to do a carpet search."
"Yes!" The group of teachers responded in a low voice. They all jumped into the cold Dead Sea.
The air was still filled with the stench of death. Yao Lie and Jeffrey stood side by side, looking at the calm surface of the Dead Sea. After a long time, they continued their conversation.
"Vice-headmaster, could the fact that they have collected so many family tokens be related to the disaster that we have suppressed?" A hint of worry flashed in Yao Lie's eyes. Family tokens were both important and unimportant.
In other people's hands, the family keepsake that wasn't even a magic item was just a piece of trash.
She had taken the family tokens this time to guide the demon blood in her sister, the Enchantress, to boil and heal her internal injuries as quickly as possible. This would not delay her studies for too long, and the effects of the family tokens could only be shown on the Yao Family members.
It had to be activated by her, the current clan leader.
Osiris could not activate it at all.
The only possibility was that they wanted to use it to weaken the power of the family's guardian spirit.
"Sigh, how could an outsider like me guess something that even you don't know about?" Jeffrey shook his head. Regarding the Seven Pulses of Ancient Martial Arts, apart from the big shots in the Chronometer Tower who had done research in this area, the others knew very little.
At most, they vaguely knew about the suppression of disasters, but that was a historical problem left over from the Blue Planet era. Moreover, with the decline of the few great ancient martial arts families, the suppressed disasters showed no signs of recovery.
In the end, it was just a legend without any evidence. Otherwise, why would the Five Great Thrones and the Katas Zhaofei Committee keep it until now?
"This is truly awkward. I am clearly the clan's Clan Head. Yet, regarding this matter, Lord Protector Spirit refuses to speak of it. Thus, even I am not sure." Yao Lie smiled bitterly, but he also felt a headache coming on. The clan's token had been lost, and his sister's hidden injuries could not be healed quickly.
"Oh, you, you have more than enough courage, but you lack foresight. Compared to your friends from the same batch, you are still lacking. Remember this lesson. If it weren't for this Li Xiang brat, I'm afraid you would have suffered greatly this time. "Jeffree sighed, his eyes full of affection.
Yao Lie was one of his earliest students, a player he had watched grow up. He was also the new dean of Torch Academy whom he had recommended.
Yao Lie stood up straight and nodded slightly. He was still very respectful towards this teacher of his.
Like Kou Ruhai, Jeffrey was a player who rose to prominence during the darkest era. He was also the idol and teacher of the current generation.
"However, Teacher, this brat didn't do anything. Without him, would I really have suffered a great loss?" Yao Lie was still a little unconvinced. A Level 4 player had been saved by a Magic Apprentice. How embarrassing would it be if word got out?
"What do you mean he didn't do anything? Do you know what news he sent back? A long time ago, he had vaguely told me about the problems with the Ogheim Family. Starting from that student named William, to your Academy's second-year student, Wayde, who was arrested at the Ogheim Family's camp at the border, they are all related to this matter. "
Jeffree's tone was a little heavy. His gaze pierced through the fog and looked at the sky, faintly worried.
"Tsk, students from my Academy? Wait for me to go back and investigate their background. No, that's not right. Wayde doesn't have any special identity or background. William is only a direct descendant of the Ogheim Family with no real power. How could he mobilize the Ogheim Family's camp? "Yao Lie frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
Jeffree nodded and waved the staff in his hand, pulling out a clear screen. On it was a bunch of oil paintings in the Mission Hall.
Yao Lie looked carefully, and then his expression changed drastically.
"I hope my guess is wrong." Jeffree sighed and shattered the image of the oil paintings. He looked at her and said, "Anyway, this matter is not over yet. I have already reported it to the Kataszhaofei Committee. When the time comes, someone will come to ask you to assist in the investigation. Lord Black King should also have someone on his side. Regardless of whether this matter was incited by the Black King or not, just remember not to lead the Ogheim Family to the Ji Family."
Jeffree's words were very thought-provoking. After thinking about it carefully, Yao Lie thought of what Osiris had said.
Among the Five Sovereigns, there were many who wanted his head, but there were even more who wanted to work with him.
It was terrifying to think about it.
Yao Lie shivered, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness all over her body. In the past, she thought that she would be able to transcend the ranks of players. After becoming a player, she set her goal as Level 3. Now, she was Level 6. However, as a Level 7 Great Magician, her teacher had a deep fear in his eyes.
When would this kind of world end?
"Teacher, I was thinking that it would be better for me to return to the Player Rescue Team to work. Being a dean is really depressing for me." Yao Lie said angrily. Her slender legs kicked a stone on the ground. With a sudden explosion, the stone drew an arc in the air and crashed into the mountain peak in the distance.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You resigned after less than half a year. What about the students under you? [Torch] is not a toy. "Jeffree glared at her fiercely. Yao Lie shrunk her head like a little girl and did not dare to speak again.
Small ripples appeared on the surface of the Dead Sea, but no one floated up.
Jeffree frowned. Wasn't it a little too long for them to dive down and search?
He sent out a magic signal in an attempt to contact the group of teachers who had gone down, but there was no news.
"What's wrong, teacher?" Yao Lie asked softly.
Jeffree was silent. He continued to try to contact them, but it was still to no avail.
The Dead Sea was calm as usual, but at this moment, it revealed a strange aura.
There were a total of nine teachers in this group. Among them, there were three Level-1 players and six Level-3 Magicians. They were just searching the Dead Sea. Nothing should have happened.
The two of them waited quietly for another half an hour. Still, no one came ashore. At this moment, Yao Lie also felt that something was wrong.
The two of them looked at each other. She wanted to go down, but was stopped by Jeffree.
"I'll use a magic clone to go down and take a look. You go back to the floating ship." Jeffree pushed her. Yao Lie had no choice but to board the floating ship that was parked at the side.
Jeffree waved his staff and split into a translucent figure. The figure dived into the Dead Sea with a whoosh. Jeffree closed his eyes and remained motionless like a stone statue.
After a long time, Jeffree's eyes suddenly opened. His white beard suddenly flew up. His entire body suddenly floated into the air. His white robe fluttered in the wind. Above his head, the fog gradually dissipated, revealing a night sky that had never been seen before.
In the night sky, the wind and clouds surged. A huge black and white eye slowly condensed.
The eye faced the Dead Sea, silent.
