South, the Great Swamp.

“Tutor… In the kingdom, the Royal Family occupies the central king’s territory, with the greatest strength, followed by the North Territory. Although the North has vast lands, its population is sparse, and the Snow People are relatively strong…”

Su Lu and others dismounted and travelled through the swamp with ease.

For the average army, such a region filled with traps, miasma, and poisonous insects would be a nightmare, but for wizards, it’s indeed a rare paradise.

Not only does it nurture various spiritual materials, but it can also effectively prevent outsiders from prying.

Silver Eye led the way, introducing the south to Su Lu: “Of the four Dukes, the North and West are the strongest. The Duke of the Black Castle in the south is the most hidden, while the Duke of the Eastern Islands is the most unsociable, but he has a powerful fleet.”

“The most hidden Duke of the Black Castle?” Su Lu’s expression seemed playful: “Is this why you chose the south as the location for the wizard’s meeting?”

“Yes… Because the family of the Duke of the Black Castle is actually the most flourishing power among the wizards – the Black Ring School!”

Silver Eye knew that Su Lu was not very understanding of the wizard’s world, so he explained for him.

“I see.”

Su Lu nodded, not too surprised.

Those who have power are bound to have influence. Is it possible that the powerful and terrifying wizards don’t have some surface forces?

Even though knights firmly control the mainstream of the nobility, wizards still grab a piece of the pie.

“Therefore… the mysterious atmosphere of the south is the thickest in the entire kingdom, but the Black Ring School are not kind people. I suspect that they have initiated several witch-hunting campaigns to suppress opposing schools.”

Silver Eye said bitterly.

“That’s a wise approach.” Su Lu quite appreciated this, it was rather proficient at exploiting others.

“The Black Ring School believes that the world is a cycle, and life and death are also a cycle. They excel in the transformation of the soul… and they were the first noble family to join Dragon I. Through multiple marital alliances with the Royal Family over the past thousand years, they have also gained part of the Royal Family’s wizard knowledge, and can manipulate transcendent creatures to do their bidding.”

‘This sounds more like a [Beast Shepherd] profession… Maybe Dragon I really was a [Dragon Shepherd]?’

This is quite normal.

Because a [Dragon Knight] can only control one dragon, while a [Dragon Shepherd] can manipulate one to several giant dragons!

‘Such luxury… If it was in the Main World, Dragon I would have been robbed countless times by now…’

Su Lu sighed privately, thinking about the information on this meeting.

‘… Each session of the Wizard’s meeting, basically held in the south, selects the strongest top schools and large schools through exchange and competition, which are recognised by all schools.’

‘The standard is that those who can cultivate a high-level wizard have the qualifications to advance to a large school. As for the top schools… they must have produced a Witch King!’

Witch King and Golden Knight are actually equivalent to the fourth-stage occupational person. Although it is very difficult to achieve during the Twilight of the Gods, it is not impossible.

“This time, we are going to claim the name for the Arrogant School, we want to become a large school!”

There is full confidence in Silver Eye’s voice.

This is the common wish of his teacher, the old Darran School, and all the small and medium schools that have been won over!

‘So that’s it, the previous politeness was just to make me an extra insurance?’

Su Lu secretly rolled his eyes.

He had noticed that Silver Eye had already advanced to the stage of a high-level wizard.

To be honest, with his power alone, it’s enough to make the name of the Arrogant School well-known.

However, Su Lu was also interested in such a wizard’s meeting.

His inspiration was revealed, suddenly touched something, he stopped his steps.

“Tutor, what’s wrong?”

Silver Eye saw Su Lu squatting down and staring at a green four-legged snake. He asked curiously.

“Hehe…”

Not far from this swamp, a young woman wearing red-armour and three earrings suddenly laughed: “Teacher… I just heard some incredible news, a wizard from the Arrogant School proclaimed that they’re going to take the position of a large school.”

All the wizards around her were from the same school. Leading them was an old man with fluttering whiskers, wearing a black hood, and smoking a pipe.

“Arrogant School?”

A thoughtful look appeared on his deep-wrinkled face, then he shook his head: “I’ve never heard of it… But the mysterious world is vast, anything can happen, and maybe someone has inherited the legacy of the ancient wizards from a thousand years ago.”

“It could also be that an unknown small school has changed its name, calling itself ‘Arrogant,’ and even wanting to become a large school, it’s simply dreaming! Do they think our Star Shine School doesn’t exist?”

The girl tugged at the teacher’s arm, her voice sweet and cloying: “Teacher… our Star Shine School this time really can rise, right? I know, your strength is comparable to that of a high-level wizard.”

“Cough cough…” The old wizard took a puff from his pipe, breathing out a white smoke ring: “I just rely on a marvel to barely have the strength of a high-level wizard, I am still far behind a true high-level wizard… The future of Star Shine lies in you, the younger wizards.”

His face was somewhat sentimental: “However, this time, we should have gained something, before we came, I’d already contacted Lord Lucas of the Black Ring School. The Duke of Black Castle might make a big move soon, we must firmly stick to the Black Ring School in order to survive and grow…”

“The teacher is right.”

Several wizards all bowed, full of confidence in their hearts.

‘Ah… My Little Green.’

Suddenly anger flashed across the girl’s face, her eyes blinked, gripping the large green gemstone necklace around her neck, sending out a certain message.

“They were eavesdropping on our conversation!”

Silver Eye’s perception was slightly worse than Su Lu’s, but after a careful check, his face immediately turned livid, gripping the four-legged snake, he casually crushed it and threw it to the side of the road.

These kind of small things are everywhere in the swamp, destroying one is just a warning. Presumably, once discovered, the other party would not dare to continue to provoke.

“Forget it, maybe it’s just a kid who doesn’t know any better. There are rules among wizards. After I give a warning, it should dare not…”

Silver Eye’s words were cut off halfway.

Suddenly.

Whirl!

The water surface in a sinkhole suddenly exploded, revealing two large green pythons.

“Hiss hiss!”

A two-headed monster climbed out of the sinkhole, those two snakes were actually its two heads, charging directly at Su Lu and his party.

Su Lu was dumbfounded, looking at Silver Eye: ‘Is this the legendary…. fast slap in the face?’

“Bastard, how dare you!”

The next moment, Silver Eye’s roar echoed through the swamp, he was truly angry!
