Chapter 999: Wizard Student of the Game World:
“What… what!!”
“Burdines Ground Fault Resettlement Area on one side of the underground city’s abnormal collapse?”
When this news spread among the branches of the Real Protection Association, the association in the city where Ige was located was also shocked!
The branches of the Real Protection Association are scattered across various regions, and some simple intelligence from various places is exchanged in encrypted communication over the game network, breaking through the information barriers.
In the edge vicinity of the city at the Burdines Ground Fault Resettlement Area, a vast area experienced ground collapse, causing aftershocks in the surrounding areas.
How could this intelligence not attract attention?
However, such news requires special means to break through the information barriers to be transmitted, which showcases how extraordinary the information blockade imposed by the All Worlds Terminal Headquarters is.
But upon learning this news, the branches of the association could no longer remain calm!
If they remember correctly, their Catastrophe Witch said she was going to meet Monroe, the spiritual leader of the Real Protection Association, and the meeting place seemed to be here?
Just connecting this point alone sent a chill down everyone’s spine.
They couldn’t even imagine how long the city where Ige was located could hold up without the Catastrophe Witch.
“Wait… we should report this to the president immediately!”
“Where is the president?”
“Out… went out.” The secretary beside Dawn spoke, somewhat at a loss.
“Where did he go?”
“I… I heard it was a command from the Lady Witch to go to the Witch Mansion to fetch something…”
Upon learning this news, everyone’s brains shifted into gear, and they quickly reacted!
That Dawn probably learned this news before them! And now he was gone… which meant he was the first to go collect the inheritance of that Catastrophe Witch!
……
The turmoil within the association lasted the entire day.
For the citizens still in the city where Ige was located, their sheltering Catastrophe Witch was still towering above in the Witch Mansion, gazing at this city.
But for the upper echelons of the Real Protection Association, the sky had changed!
The news of the Catastrophe Witch’s death struck them like a thunderbolt. Dawn seized the opportunity to inherit the legacy of the Catastrophe Witch, officially becoming the highest authority of the Wanlian Main Network Tree.
Moreover, he had incited some outsiders in the association, those loyal to the Catastrophe Witch, to stand with him.
All the extraordinary armed forces of the Real Protection Association, all the highest authority were now in Dawn’s hands.
This feeling was as if the sky was about to fall.
The ones who least wished for the Catastrophe Witch’s death were not Dawn but the other upper echelons of the association!
At least when the Catastrophe Witch was still present, she held all the authority and power, yet she did not interfere with the operations within the association. Even if there were significant moves, they were similar to the associated industries with plant technology, etc.
Now, the final authority was in Dawn’s hands, and Dawn was the president of the association!
If this situation continued, the association could maintain stability in the city where Ige was located, essentially making the association a realm of Dawn’s word.
And now, the upper echelons of the association did not dare to inform the public about the Catastrophe Witch’s death.
If that happened, the entire city where Ige was located would collapse.
Currently, in the city where Ige was located, if Dawn eats meat, they would just sip the soup; if there was self-destruction, they would smash the bowl, leaving no soup to drink.
In just one day, the city where Ige was located had completely transformed.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the Burdines Ground Fault Resettlement Area, the faces of the wizard apprentices were likewise not pleasant.
Because a day had passed, and they still hadn’t found the corpse of that little witch!
Even with the Warty God’s domain, which piled up like a small underground city, searching for a body with their wizardly means should have been extraordinarily easy.
They had repeatedly confirmed all the strategies laid out earlier; even at the underground market, their spatial blockade wizard formation had no issues.
They were also monitoring from above, so it wouldn’t just disappear like that.
“Wasn’t that little witch still mastering a terrifying teleportation spell? It was mentioned in the data!”
“Impossible! That spell has significant limitations; it requires another person to cooperate in summoning her to teleport!”
“Who would help her in this world?”
“Didn’t she occupy the above-ground city of Ige? There are people who follow her there; she probably had a backup plan to teleport from the very beginning.”
“Damn it! She got away just like that?!”
These wizards were extremely unwilling, but asking them to personally go to the above-ground city of Ige came with some risk.
“Go find Monroe; as the spiritual leader of the Real Protection Association, any branch would have his loyal followers. If that little witch has returned, ask them.”
“What use is that? Whether she came back or not, even if she returned to the Main World, so what? If she’s not dead, we have trouble!”
With this remark from the increasingly irritable wizard apprentice under the influence of the changing environment, other wizards fell silent.
Indeed, not achieving their primary goal rendered their knowledge useless.
But under the current circumstances, they were at a loss, only able to inquire about Monroe.
“Tsk… this world’s communicator is really garbage.”
But despite their complaints, they still needed to make contact.
After a long while, the communicator finally brought back the other side’s intermittent voice.
“Dear Wizards, I wonder why you contacted me?”
Monroe’s tone was very low; after all, he also worked for the wizards and was, to some extent, obedient to the orders of the Supreme Council.
In any case, “he” could not offend anyone.
“Heh, so relaxed; do you really think this matter is over?”
“I don’t understand your meaning; I have invited the Catastrophe Witch as per your request, and she indeed died there. Until the last moment, I was watching her, witnessing her death right before my eyes.”
“Are you sure?” The wizard who heard this frowned.
“Of course! I am very sure!”
“…” The wizards fell silent for a moment, not directly stating that they did not find the body of the Catastrophe Witch under the ruins but instead asked about another matter, “It’s been almost a day since this happened; have you contacted the branch in the above-ground city of Ige?”
“Naturally, I have contacted them. The branch in the above-ground city of Ige underwent a power transition within a day after losing the Catastrophe Witch. They occupied her residence, inherited the legacy she left behind, while also concealing the news of her death, continuing to govern the above-ground city of Ige.”
The several wizards listening to Monroe’s lengthy explanation were somewhat taken aback.
Just moments ago, they were speculating that the opponent would still have a foundation in the above-ground city of Ige and some backup plan to forcibly break through the spatial blockade.
Yet, the Catastrophe Witch’s death occurred, and her legacy was already divided by others?
This made them wonder… could that little witch truly have died here, leaving behind not even a complete corpse?
Surely she didn’t teleport back to the Main World…
But regardless, they speculated this Catastrophe Witch was just that.
After hanging up the call with Monroe, the wizard apprentices discussed again and decided to wait a little longer.
They would see if they could still find information about the Catastrophe Witch, while also keeping an eye on the association’s situation through Monroe.
If nothing came up, they would assume that little witch was truly dead.
They could then let Monroe take over the city of Ige; with the support of the wizards, they didn’t believe whatever means that little witch left behind could withstand them!
Along the way… they would also pay some price to make contact with the Main World and inquire about the little witch’s situation.
If there was still no response from the Main World, then they would consider that little witch resolved!
……
Main World.
“You killed that little witch?”
The wizard responsible for information exchange turned pale as soon as he learned this news.
“Yes, we collaborated with members of the Supreme Council of the game world, and we managed to…”
“I’ll kill your mothers! Where do you get the audacity to fool me? Did you kill that little witch? Did you? Where’s the corpse? Did you see the corpse?”
With this storm of vulgar outbursts from this wizard, he rendered the others silent.
They did not know why the academy was so certain that they hadn’t completed the task.
“That little witch… she’s frolicking merrily in the Main World! Do you know what that means?”
“That little item never even got there; what joy do you get by killing a clone of hers?”
“Then… what about the wizard tower promised by the academy…”
“What wizard tower? Do you deserve it? Did you go to the game world for a vacation? One of her clones went and turned the world upside down while you lot just sat around doing nothing…”
The contempt and scolding of this extraordinary academy wizard continued for quite a while.
The facing wizard apprentices were also quite worn out; the information was false, and they were the ones being blamed; what relevance did that have to them?
But the other party was an extraordinary wizard, stationed in the Main World, establishing a base wizard tower.
They had arrived in the void range of the Main World, and if they offended the wizards of the Main World or left them with a bad impression, they would even find it impossible to leave!
They certainly didn’t want to spend their lives in this game world.
The extraordinary resources of this world were indeed too scarce, with no obvious resource characteristics or environmental features.
And with this situation at the Witch Academy.
The conflict over in the Qunluosen Wilderness has already concluded.
Behind this incident lay turbulent undercurrents.
The Witch Academy took this incident as an opportunity to launch an observational experiment of the Qi Observation Technique, with three leading academy heads urgently collaborating, and the World-Destroying Staff plan could possibly be set into motion at any moment.
Eventually, the Witch Academy compromised and temporarily halted the observational experiment of the Qi Observation Technique (after completion).
Ultimately, this case was primarily attributed to a breach of regulations by the wizard academy’s instructor, resulting in the extraordinary wizards meddling in the student conflicts, defining the final nature of the situation.
As for who profited or lost from it, that remained known only to them.
In the end, the wizard academy provided compensation to the Witch Academy, which marked the conclusion of this matter.
As for why the compensation from the wizards included the special resource of Holy Angels and Forest Elves, one would have to ask the wizard academy about the specifics; however, the Witch Academy generously did not pursue this matter further.
After the extraordinary mentors left the Qunluosen Wilderness, the members of the All-Purpose Workshop of the Witch Academy arrived here with a large amount of collecting and sampling equipment.
Before they arrived, news about the Sixth Floor Amber had already spread.
The characteristics of the Sixth Floor Amber dictated that it had a stark difference from the materials associated with it.
Within the Witch Academy, the largest user group of extraordinary materials was not the most numerous or largest number of students but rather the extraordinary mentors.
The theory of what kind of materials can be accessed by what level of individuals is applicable everywhere.
Materials defined as “extraordinary usage being wasteful” mostly belong to regulated types.
They typically only flow out of the academy through normal channels, such as monthly exams, final exams, intra-academy competitions, inter-academy exchange matches, and multi-academy joint exchange competitions.
Moreover, contributions to the academy, such as from teams like Yixin and others, guarantee them success.
Then there are those followed by instructors, private friendly relations, previous investments, donations, etc.
The value of Sixth Floor Amber, for students, definitely carries an “extremely difficult to obtain” additional value.
Many students wish to craft a powerful magic wand for themselves or take part in the new trend within the academy: spellbooks, using these as their weapons.
Moreover, some accompanying armaments, clothing, combat goggles, etc., require a significant number of materials, all of which must be custom-designed according to their style. The price is a separate matter; rare materials are undoubtedly the threshold for possessing these items.
Even though Sixth Floor Amber is a brand-new material that might pose some difficulties in application, it certainly belongs to regulated materials.
Whoever fears hoarding for appreciation, it’s still worth it, but more importantly, it enriches the depth of the club.
After the All-Purpose Workshop conducted surveys and sampling of the Qunluosen Wilderness area, they obtained a mixed bag of good and bad news.
The good news was that according to estimates from battle remnants, the total estimated quantity of Sixth Floor Amber in this area exceeded the combined quality classification of all regulated materials in a single club!
Although the majority needed to be handed over to that Teaching Assistant Xiao Han, the remaining amount was even insufficient to describe as “sipping soup,” compared to the previous state of struggling—it was like eating meat and sipping soup at once!
But the worry was that news about the Sixth Floor Amber had already spread; although they were aware of the relationship between families and the academy, the information would naturally leak out, but the speed of this efficiency, was it too fast?
Moreover, the area where Sixth Floor Amber was distributed was aesthetically awkward; overall, it was in a vague boundary, with a considerable part already clearly overlapping into the territories of other extraordinary academies.
During their surveying, they had already driven away several groups of students from opposing academies.
After all, the overall strength and methods of the students of the Witch Academy absolutely overwhelm those of other small extraordinary academies.
