Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 175: Council of Truth

Chapter 175: Council of Truth

Years had passed, and Kei had already been promoted to a three-ring legendary knight. Using elemental power to fly was a trivial matter for him, keeping up with Su Nan and Rose was not difficult.

“From the distance, the Starlight Tower should be in the Southeast Region, about three thousand kilometers away from us.”

As the ruler of a country, Kei was already familiar with the geography of the Southeast Region. With a brief analysis, he could determine the location of the Starlight Tower.

“It takes five days for the Starlight Tower to fully appear. We don’t need to rush.” Su Nan said.

Kei and Rose nodded in agreement.

Flying over three thousand kilometers was a significant drain, whether for a third-rank mage apprentice or a three-ring legendary knight.

No one knew what the situation would be like at the Starlight Tower. Just in case, it was better to take it slow, conserve strength, and travel slowly.

Fortunately, the Starlight Tower appeared in the Southeast Region. If it was in the Northwest Region, they would only have five days to make a mad dash.

Thus, the three of them flew along at a leisurely pace, occasionally using the key to observe the status of the Starlight Tower.

On the fourth day, they were less than one hundred kilometers away from the Starlight Tower.

At the same time, they also encountered other mage apprentices.

However, those mage apprentices only briefly glanced at them from a distance. Seeing that they were numerous, they turned around and left without hesitation, not showing any intention to interact.

“They’re not from the Mysterious Wooden Hut.” Rose frowned slightly. “It seems that others know about the appearance of the Starlight Tower.”

“It’s not strange.” Su Nan said calmly, “The appearance of the Starlight Tower is quite a spectacle, it will attract a lot of attention.”

From the images that appeared in his mind, the Starlight Tower was extremely large, and it was hanging in the air so clearly, it could be seen from a distance. It was inevitable that it would attract attention, and it was not surprising that some mage apprentices would come after receiving the news.

It’s just that these people didn’t have the key, even if they came, they couldn’t enter the Starlight Tower.

Not far from the Starlight Tower, Su Nan and the others no longer took it slow, speeding up their journey.

Soon, a silhouette of a tower appeared in their field of vision.

As the distance shortened, the full appearance of the tower gradually appeared in front of them.

It was exactly the same as the picture they saw before.

However, when they saw it with their own eyes, the sense of ancientness and age was even more apparent.

The entire tower floated a hundred meters above the ground, like a straight spear piercing the sky. The majestic and mighty tower made people feel a sense of insignificance involuntarily.

Kei and Rose both had a look of amazement on their faces.

This was the first time they had seen such a magnificent and exquisite building.

Su Nan, on the other hand, remained calm.

After all, he had seen many buildings that were even more grand and majestic than this.

The Starlight Tower was just a small wizard tower, not even as good as some.

It was only because it was a tall building among short ones on the current Starlight Continent, that it appeared so astonishing.

They stopped a kilometer away from the Starlight Tower. Su Nan focused his senses for a moment and sensed at least twenty different auras.

These auras were all legendary knights or second-rank mage apprentices, most likely attracted by the appearance of the Starlight Tower.

There might even be third-rank mage apprentices present.

However, if these mage apprentices were deliberately hiding, Su Nan wouldn’t be able to sense them for the time being.

With no intention of concealing themselves, Su Nan found a quiet place and sat down, waiting for the Starlight Tower to open.

As time passed, more and more people gathered around the Starlight Tower.

Su Nan was closing his eyes and meditating when he suddenly felt an aura approaching. He opened his eyes and saw a familiar face.

“Long time no see.”

The Scepter came closer and greeted Su Nan and Rose with a smile, then nodded slightly to Kei.

Kei had already learned about the Scepter’s attitude towards the Caging Gold Empire’s royal family from Su Nan. Knowing that this person was not an enemy, he returned a friendly smile.

After chatting for a while, the Scepter sat down beside them without any hesitation.

Compared to those who were hiding, it was safer to be with familiar people.

Before long, another familiar face came over, it was the Traveler.

The four of them sat together and chatted about Night Owl.

“Actually, I also feel that something is wrong.” The Scepter said in a deep voice.

He was one of the elders of the Mysterious Wooden Hut. He was one of the first members invited by Night Owl.

He was very familiar with Night Owl’s style.

“Originally, I thought that Night Owl would invite everyone to the Starlight Tower together, but I never received the message.”

“And he hasn’t appeared until now, it’s very likely that something really happened to him.”

The Traveler added, “Also, Hunter, he doesn’t seem to be here either.”

If Hunter was here, he should have come over and joined them.

Thinking that Night Owl and Hunter might have been in trouble, everyone frowned at the same time.

Just then, the four of them suddenly moved, looking up into the distance simultaneously.

They saw a group of people slowly walking out of the forest four or five hundred meters away.

About a dozen people, all wearing robes, with strong energy particle fluctuations that were not concealed.

They were all third-rank mage apprentices!

A commotion could be heard faintly around them.

Apparently, those who were hiding in the shadows didn’t expect so many third-rank mage apprentices to appear at once.

The four of them looked at each other, all showing a look of surprise.

“They have unfamiliar faces, they don’t look like third-rank mage apprentices from the Southeast Region.” Rose said in a low voice.

“They’re mage apprentices from the Northwest Region.” The Scepter suddenly said.

Seeing the surprised looks on everyone’s faces, he explained in a low voice,

“The Caging Gold Empire’s royal family has collected information about the Northwest Region’s wizards. I have specifically reviewed it.”

Everyone suddenly realized.

It was not strange for the Caging Gold Empire, as the overlord of the Southeast Region, to specifically collect information about the Northwest Region’s wizards.

This dominant empire obviously had ambitions for the Northwest Region.

It’s just that it didn’t have that kind of leisure time now.

The Scepter continued, “They are a bit boastful, but they have the qualifications.”

“The Council of Truth has a total of thirteen third-rank mage apprentices. Besides Meigisen, there are many other strong ones.”

“For example, the guy with skin like tree bark. His name is Milkan, and he is said to be half-wood elementalized. In environments like forests, he is almost invincible to mage apprentices of the same level.”

Wood elementalization?

Su Nan raised his eyebrows.

This was a very rare type.

In terms of attack, wood element was not as good as fire element and thunder element. In terms of defense, it was not as good as earth element. In terms of transformation, it was not as good as water element.

But in places with many plants, a wood-elementalized wizard could exert two hundred percent of their strength!

This was a type of elementalization that was very dependent on the environment.

“And the one with scales on his face is called Maivechi. He has integrated the bloodline of a kind of shark-like beast, and his combat strength is extremely strong.”

“The short and skinny mage apprentice is called Fabio. He is like a亡骸(a type of undead) and specializes in the necromantic system, adept at manipulating souls, but he is much stronger than 亡骸.”

It was clear that the Caging Gold Empire’s information collection was thorough. The Scepter spoke of each of the dozen or so wizards like a book.

Except for three or four who were vague, the names and general abilities of the others could be described in detail.

As they listened to the Scepter’s description, Rose and the Traveler’s expressions gradually became solemn, and they looked at the group of Northwest Region mage apprentices with even more fear.

This wizard organization was no weaker than the Eternal Association as a whole!

“These guys came here, wouldn’t they be here for the Starlight Tower too?” Rose frowned.

However, the answer to this question was already obvious.

This place was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Northwest Region. No matter how big the commotion of the Starlight Tower’s appearance, it was impossible for news to reach there so quickly.

The fact that the Council of Truth appeared here so quickly meant that they had obtained information beforehand and had entered the Southeast Region long ago.

What Rose couldn’t understand was, how did they know for sure that the Starlight Tower would appear in the Southeast Region?

Su Nan’s expression moved slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

He scanned the crowd of the Council of Truth, his gaze finally falling on a figure whose body and face were obscured by a robe and hood.

At this time, the Council of Truth also stopped not far from the Starlight Tower.

As if noticing the gaze of Su Nan and the others, Meigisen turned his head and looked at them, observing them for a few moments, then turned his head back to Su Nan and the others, with a look of interest in his eyes.

Then, the person who had concealed himself also lifted his hood, revealing a somewhat pale face.

“Evans!”

The moment they saw that face, the Traveler and Rose both looked shocked.

They certainly wouldn’t forget this legendary knight, who could almost be considered the ‘culprit’ of the battle between the Eternal Association and the Mysterious Wooden Hut.

But how could Evans be with the Council of Truth?

In Su Nan’s eyes, there was a flash of ‘as expected’.

He had heard from Hunter that Evans had fled to the Northwest Region to avoid the Eternal Association. Now it seemed that the Council of Truth could obtain information about the appearance of the Starlight Tower because of Evans.

It seemed that Evans hadn’t told him the whole truth back then.

There was definitely some kind of way for him to know the approximate location of the Starlight Tower in advance.

However, these were not what Su Nan cared about most. What he cared about most was the significance of Evans’ appearance here.

“Night Owl and Hunter.” Su Nan reminded them in a low voice.

The other three were slightly stunned, then quickly reacted, and their expressions sank immediately.

Since the Council of Truth was here, they must have Starlight Tower keys.

So where did their keys come from?

Just from Evans?

Or were some of them taken from Night Owl and Hunter?

After all, Evans was one of the people who knew that the people of the Mysterious Wooden Hut had Starlight Tower keys.

If this was the case, then Night Owl and Hunter must have been in grave danger!

Although their relationship with Night Owl and Hunter wasn’t close, they were members of the same organization. Hearing that they might have been killed by the Council of Truth, the Scepter and the other three felt a bit heavy and dissatisfied.

That being said, all three of them rationally restrained their emotions and didn’t do anything.

The Starlight Tower was about to open, and this was the time to conserve their strength. It wasn’t the time to make a move.

If they wanted to get revenge, they could do it after they came out of the Starlight Tower.

At the same time, the people of the Council of Truth were also looking at Su Nan and the others.

“Is that the one who killed Saulo, Su Nan? He doesn’t look very strong.”

Maivechi licked his lips, his eyes like vipers, scanning Su Nan up and down, with a look of eagerness.

The people around him were used to this, because of his bloodline, Maivechi had a strong desire to kill, and he enjoyed fighting strong people most.

This kind of behavior was completely different from the cautious philosophy of wizards. If Maivechi wasn’t strong enough, he would have become a pile of bones long ago.

“It’s foolish to judge a mage apprentice’s strength based on his appearance.” Milkan said impassively.

Ignoring Maivechi’s angry glare, he turned to Meigisen.

“Council Leader, the Eternal Association has been destroyed, and the Mysterious Wooden Hut has suffered heavy casualties. The number of third-rank mage apprentices in the Southeast Region has been greatly reduced. They are at their weakest. I think now is a good time to attack the Southeast Region.”

Fabio’s eyes lit up, and he agreed with a deep nod. “Indeed.”

Meigisen’s eyes flickered slightly, obviously tempted.

The mage apprentice forces of the Southeast Region and the Northwest Region were close in strength, and they had always been peaceful, without any conflicts for all these years.

However, after a series of turmoil in the Southeast Region, many third-rank mage apprentices died, and now the strength of the mage apprentices has been greatly reduced. If they attacked now, the chance of success would be very high.

They might even be able to seize the vast territory of the Southeast Region!

His mind raced, and Meigisen already had a plan. He smiled faintly, “No need to rush, the most important thing right now is the Starlight Tower. Let’s talk about it after we come out of the Starlight Tower.”

Everyone understood.

Maivechi had already begun to look maliciously at the mage apprentices around him.

Because of the Starlight Tower, a considerable number of mage apprentices had gathered here.

After they came out of the Starlight Tower, they could ambush a few groups on the way, and they could weaken the Southeast Region’s mage apprentice forces even more.

Time passed slowly.

More and more people gathered around the Starlight Tower.

From time to time, people would cautiously approach the Starlight Tower.

But the tower in the sky, which seemed so real, was actually not part of this world. What appeared before everyone’s eyes was just a shadow. Those who explored could only leave in disappointment.

In the end, no one dared to move any more. Everyone was quietly waiting.

The sun rose and set. On the afternoon of the second day after Su Nan and the others arrived, the Starlight Tower in the sky finally moved.

With a muffled hum, the Starlight Tower slowly descended from the sky. With a bang, it landed steadily on the ground, stirring up billows of dust.

At the same time, Su Nan felt a sudden heat in the talisman stone in his palm.

He immediately understood.

The Starlight Tower had opened!
