One-Eyed Monster-Chapter 809 - 806: The Covered-Up (Part 2)

"Nonsense, absolute nonsense!"

The Spirit Book's emotions were intense; it couldn't accept Igor's statement at all.

It was clear that Igor had immediately told the Spirit Book some things he'd heard from the monsters of Guru Mountain about the wizard robe.

The Spirit Book obviously couldn't accept the notion that Lord Soron was unwilling to reveal his wizard robe level.

Its emotions were so intense that it repeatedly yelled nonsense!

"Don't get so worked up; sometimes the truth is unpleasant to hear." Igor had a slightly gloating feeling.

Even the Great Witch emerged from that complex emotion she had been in; she could accept Igor's statement.

"You are absolutely deceived; it's not like that. Lord Soron has never hidden himself; it's others who are always trying to conceal their thoughts." As Lord Soron's creation, the Spirit Book defended Soron's reputation with all its might.

"Admitting a fact is sometimes a painful thing. I understand that pain, so as someone who's been through it, I advise you not to dwell on it."

"Even if you are my master, I cannot acknowledge such non-existent things." The Spirit Book seemed resolute and didn't budge an inch.

This somewhat surprised Igor. He thought the Spirit Book should understand, but it didn't relent at all, consistently rejecting with a firm attitude.

"Uh, even if you resolutely deny it, I can't help it, but think about it, think carefully, you might discover something. You can't always hold onto one belief!" Igor tried to persuade the Spirit Book.

"Some things aren't as they appear on the surface!" The Spirit Book maintained its firm stance.

"Then what reason can you give us to convince us?" Igor was also getting anxious, as the Spirit Book seemed more and more eager, not listening to any persuasion.

This feeling was like a naughty child refusing to sleep at night, no matter how adults coaxed, causing frustration.

The commotion between Igor and the Spirit Book drew the Guru Mountain monsters over; saying they were attracted wasn't accurate. The main reason was that the monsters had reached a bottleneck in their own discussion and wanted to see if anything else around was worth noting. Just then, a Spirit Book was arguing angrily...

"What's going on here?" The Great Mentor saw the situation was a bit tense, so he used a simple question to break the awkward atmosphere.

"It seems like they're debating something."

"What could they be arguing about?"

Some monster said unintentionally, which instantly inflamed the somewhat impatient Spirit Book.

"What do you mean we can't argue? Should we accept things that are wrong? Should we swallow our anger when faced with mistakes?" The Spirit Book suddenly vented a lot of complaints, as if this statement had thoroughly enraged it.

Seeing the situation, Igor quickly doused the fiery anger of the Spirit Book, though its flames weren't capable of causing much trouble, it still made people feel unwelcome, particularly in this otherwise harmonious scene.

"Alright, alright, since you have enough reasons, quickly state them so everyone can shift their perspectives."

Igor's conciliatory approach was somewhat effective, as the Spirit Book quickly calmed down.

In the meantime, using this gap, Igor explained the whole story to the Guru Mountain monsters.

Indeed, it was all very old stuff, with each side having its own version, making it hard to discern who was right or wrong.

Unless one side has enough evidence, it's challenging to overturn what people have believed for so long. From a certain angle, the Spirit Book had no advantage at all.

But the Spirit Book remained proud, filled with stubbornness, as if the truth was apparent to it without any doubt.

"Lord Soron values freedom, and in my memory, he is not someone who fears others' gaze. On the contrary, he's happy for others to point out his shortcomings. It's just that regarding the wizard robe, there really are very few records; most people speculate based on Senior Ennis's accounts," the Great Mentor said softly, recalling this after hearing Igor's narration.

"Yeah, it's all speculation, everything is speculation; nobody actually knows what kind of wizard robe Lord Soron has," Yuga added. To him, it wasn't a real issue, not understanding why the Spirit Book was so concerned.

In fact, the more concerned it was, the more it indicated there was some untold secret...

What could possibly be concealed within? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Before this, state your reasons why you believe Ennis's words without a doubt?" The Spirit Book seemed still unsatisfied.

The Great Witch Biggs felt a surge in her heart at this moment. She couldn't comprehend why her wizard robe incident would prompt so many predecessors to step in. It was beyond understanding; from Soron to Ennis, these were titans of the wizardry world long gone. The Spirit Books of these two luminaries could fill a study, yet now, due to a trifling matter, these two titans were placed on opposing sides; it was bizarre.

The Spirit Book had a puffed-up appearance, insisting on understanding why these people believed Lord Soron opposed the wizard robe system due to fearing exposure of his abilities.

"Firstly, Lord Soron opposes the wizard robe system, right?" Igor, as the Spirit Book's master, first proposed the speculation.

"Right, so what?"

"Opposition always comes with a reason. Let's not discuss that reason now; this matter can be confirmed, correct?"

"Correct."

"Then this fact raises suspicions because, from a realistic perspective, the wizard robe system has strengthened and professionalized the wizard order, which, in some aspect, proves its success."

Igor's reasoning resonated, as indeed the entire wizard field relied on the wizard robe for support, allowing many wizards to avoid unnecessary detours.

"Master, what you've said..." The Spirit Book was getting anxious, unable to find a counter-argument for the moment.

"Don't rush; take your time to think and refute step by step. After all, this is a discussion, and we don't know what exactly happened with those two predecessors. In the end, it was Senior Ennis who bet on the right course."
