Chapter 694: Master Green

Before departing, there were still a few wizards in the Seven-Ring Holy Tower that Green needed to personally visit.

The first was Green’s old neighbor, Xiao Ba’s first friend at the Seven-Ring Holy Tower, the Demon-Hunting Bright Wizard, Angleray. This was a demon-hunting elite bright wizard, who was brought into the Seven-Ring Holy Tower by the Dawn Wisdom for his advanced knowledge research when he was just a First-Level Wizard.

Although Green wasn’t closely acquainted with Angleray, in the Seven-Ring Holy Tower, he was the only familiar face.

"Xiao Ba, let’s go!"

Standing on the back of the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab, Green shouted to Xiao Ba, who was reluctantly parting with Leafy. Xiao Ba, with blurred eyes from tears, was weeping and still being affectionate with Leafy on the Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird.

"My handsome Green, come back soon."

Hundreds of Raindrops Flower Spirits flew around Lab, waving farewell to Green. Green nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

The Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab lifted into the air, carrying Green and the Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird behind him, flying towards Angleray’s Demon-Hunter Laboratory far away from the Seven-Ring Holy Tower.

Approximately three hourglasses later.

As the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab and the Enigmatic Thousand-Headed Bird descended, Green slowly walked down from the top of the crab’s shell. On the other side, Xiao Ba was still caught in melancholy over parting with Leafy, looking uninterested, flying over to the old wizard standing at the entrance of the Demon-Hunter Laboratory.

The old wizard smiled, with several sub-human women standing behind him, though they weren’t the same ones Green had met his first time.

"Oh, who upset Master Eight? Hahaha, I’ve never seen you like this before."

Xiao Ba mumbled a grunt, "Now, I’m the Steel Badge Myna with a family, how could I be like a child anymore!"

Green, who walked over, shook his head with a smile. After exchanging greetings with Angleray, Angleray couldn’t help but sigh, "I haven’t seen you in over a thousand years, and not only have you advanced to a Third-Level Great Sorcerer, but you’ve also earned a First-Level Honor Medal, becoming one of the top great sorcerers in the Wizard World, it’s truly unbelievable news."

Angleray was now only a Second-Level Wizard, holding a Third-Level Medal of Honor, merely an average Dawn Wisdom demon-hunting sorcerer in the Demon Hunting Expedition Space Fortress Command Room.

Following Angleray into the Demon Hunting Castle, Green took the foreign domain fruit juice handed over by the sub-human maid and casually chatted with Angleray, mainly to ease Xiao Ba’s sadness about departure.

"Haha, being able to enter the Dawn Wisdom is because I had a breakthrough study in the field of long-distance information transmission via Crystal Ball, for which Eight Rainbows Nevis gave me significant inspiration. Lately, I’ve been working on anti-gravity energy-saving technology for Space Airships, and I’ve made some progress in element purification power research, planning to invent a purification cannon specifically for elemental life..."

Talking with a bright wizard was vastly different from talking with any dark wizard, and Green was trying to adapt.

Which demonic hunter dark wizard would waste time researching Space Airship anti-gravity technology or inventing an element purification cannon?

This doesn’t help demonic hunter dark wizards survive in foreign domains or improve their own strength!

Green also shared some of his own experiences, particularly the ones in the Nightmare World and the Mirage Desire Mystery Realm entrance at Cangyan Giant Mountain, which intrigued Angleray greatly.

...

After visiting Angleray, Green left the Seven Rings World, taking the Heart of the Seven Rings to the Wizard World.

He first went to the Zijin Fragrance Family, taking away his profits before purchasing some essential materials for traveling and even bought a set of top-tier Demon-Hunting Armor, consuming one thousand pieces of Witch Essence!

This set of Demon-Hunting Armor was made using top-grade Magic Stone, and the Zijin Fragrance Family branch had only one set left, unsold for over a thousand years.

...

The last demon-hunting wizard Green wished to visit within the Seven-Ring Holy Tower range was an old acquaintance he hadn’t contacted in a long time, Naraku!

Wiki’s Vital Rebirth Grand Sorcery and Naraku’s Crystallized Time Self-Sealing Technique were the witchcraft Green had once most desired to learn the principles behind.

Nowadays, with Green’s Third-Level Great Sorcerer perspective, these two witchcrafts weren’t considered elusive high-level knowledge. Wiki’s witchcraft belonged to the realm of wizard knowledge from various fairy rule worlds, and the basic knowledge of the Self-sealing Technique could be exchanged for in the Seven Rings Book.

Even though the Self-sealing Technique sought the same outcome, allowing wizards to perform self-sealing during ordinary times and release the seal during crises to greatly enhance power, the principles were utterly different.

The "Laffey Time Memories" Self-sealing Technique, which Green aimed for, would undoubtedly be accomplished more swiftly with Naraku’s Self-sealing Technique as a reference.

"Hmm!?"

Aboard the Thousand-Eyed Giant Crab, abruptly, Green made eye contact with a wizard, and the two simultaneously involuntarily paused.

"Ahh, it’s this guy!"

Seeing this wizard, Xiao Ba perked up from his sulk.

The cold eyes of this Second-Level Wizard emitted a dark red eerie glow; a mass of gray flames flickered uncertainly atop his head, and his slender fingers were adorned with five skeleton rings. With a hunched body leaning on an unknown animal spine magic wand, he looked at Green with shock in his eyes.

"Ghost Pepper!"

It was unexpected that Ghost Pepper, already included in the demon-hunting record, appeared here and happened to meet Green.

The grudges between them have become too complex to trace back to their origins.

The culprit behind Laphie’s death was the Black Wizard Hattori Michizou, but he is already dead, while the indirect cause of Laphie’s demise was the demon-hunting record. However, demon-hunting sorcerers hunting invading dark sorcerers from the Elemental Continent wasn’t wrong.

The enmity between Ghost Pepper and Green was solely due to Green, for Laphie, recklessly violating Wizard Continent Sacred Tower Rules, yet ultimately gaining nothing and instead causing Ghost Pepper to miss the opportunity to join the demon-hunting record, thus bearing resentment.

However, when Green voluntarily gave up the chance to join the demon-hunting record a second time, and Ghost Pepper succeeded in rising, their conflict seemed to subside with no further continuation.

Such complex twists of fate are, indeed, true destiny!

Isn’t this what life’s about, where many times nobody is wrong, yet the results end up being wrong?

Green and Ghost Pepper stared at each other blankly, a moment of bizarre silence, the elements in Green’s eyes beneath the Truth Mask facing Ghost Pepper’s eerie blood-red gaze, forming a subtle confrontation even in aura.

After a long while, sweat dripped from Ghost Pepper’s forehead, his face a bit pale, revealing a strenuous smile while slightly panting. He lowered his head and solemnly said, "Master Green."

"Hmm."

A calm voice, incredibly deep.

Like an overwhelming ocean, the oppressive aura beneath the Truth Mask, the elemental eyes retracting their invasive gaze, Green responded before leaving. (To be continued.
