Chapter 558 - 324: Protagonist Plot Without the Protagonist (2)

"My friend, it’s been a long time!"

Neil Morton said with a smile.

"Hahaha, it really has been a long time!"

"That bastard Heiger actually said you were dead."

Amory spoke with an annoyed tone, giving Neil Morton a heavy hug.

"Heiger!"

Hearing the familiar words, Neil Morton fell silent.

"What’s wrong?"

Noticing Neil Morton’s expression, Amory asked with a hint of confusion.

"How is Sophia?"

Neil Morton was silent for a moment before speaking softly.

"Sophia participated in the Exotic World war three years ago and didn’t come back."

Amory sighed lightly as he spoke.

"What!"

Hearing Amory’s words, Neil Morton’s face immediately changed, and even his breath started to fluctuate violently at that moment.

"Boom!"

A surge of Life Source Power erupted directly.

"Neil!"

Amory’s urgent voice rang out.

"I’m going to kill Heiger!"

Neil Morton’s Life Source Power erupted, and his eyes became even more bloodshot with anger, nearly uncontrollable at that moment.

"Neil, don’t!"

"Heiger has already broken through to the High-tier Holy Domain, and he’s not at Canaan Academy now."

Feeling Neil Morton’s growing fury, Amory quickly spoke.

"Not at Canaan Academy?"

Neil Morton’s breath paused slightly.

"Yes, three years ago, Heiger also went to participate in the Exotic World war, and reportedly has broken through to the High-tier Holy Domain and is preparing to break through to the Divine Domain."

"Even if you find him, you won’t be a match for him."

Amory sighed.

Each step in the Holy Sanctuary has a huge gap.

Even if he sensed that Neil Morton had broken through to the Holy Sanctuary, he was just entering, and facing the High-tier Holy Domain of Heiger, Neil Morton had no chance of winning.

"When will he return?"

With a hoarse voice, Neil Morton was left only with madness.

"Within ten years."

"Exotic World wars generally last ten years, it’s been three years, so there should be seven years left."

Amory hurriedly added, fearing Neil Morton wouldn’t be able to hold back.

"Seven years!"

"Alright, I understand!"

"Where can I apply to be a mentor? Take me there!"

Neil Morton nodded, appearing calm at that moment.

"It’s on the west side, I’ll take you there!"

Amory breathed a sigh of relief, quickly speaking, then led Neil Morton and Thor to the west side.

As for Neil Morton applying to be a mentor instead of a lecturer, he wasn’t too surprised; with Neil Morton having broken through to a Holy Sanctuary Knight, becoming a mentor was more than enough.

After a moment.

Under Amory’s guidance, they arrived at a room.

"Once you go in, you’ll be given certification."

"Once certified successfully, you’ll be a mentor at Canaan Academy, and the lecturer position will be automatically canceled. If it fails, you can’t reapply for three years."

Amory spoke in a low tone, his expression serious.

"Okay!"

"Thank you!"

Neil Morton nodded slightly and then stepped into the room.

"Master Amory, Lord Neil, he?"

Watching Neil Morton walk in, Thor looked at Amory curiously.

"It’s not exactly a secret!"

Amory sighed, hesitated slightly, but began explaining to Thor.

After all, as he said, it’s not really a secret.

In fact, it’s quite melodramatic.

It’s probably the story of a poor boy, childhood sweetheart, and a rich heir.

But unlike most protagonists’ scripts, Neil Morton, the poor boy, wasn’t so lucky.

Neil Morton, quite a genius in their batch, was in love with a girl named Sophia but was interrupted by a rich heir named Heiger. Although the result was that Sophia and Neil Morton did get married.

But Heiger used his influence to transfer Sophia to another Exotic World, and Neil Morton remained at Canaan Academy.

Of course, if that were all, it wouldn’t be much.

The key point was, five years ago on a trip to the Northern Icefield, Neil Morton went missing.

Yes, he disappeared.

At least in Amory’s account, Neil Morton disappeared at the Northern Ice Glacier.

As for the real reason.

Thor almost guessed it with his toes, it was likely Heiger’s doing.

News of Neil Morton’s disappearance soon reached Canaan Academy, and at that time Sophia had returned to the academy. Upon hearing this news, she participated in the Exotic World war without hesitation, and eventually disappeared. Such a result in the Exotic World war almost always implied the end.

"Master Amory, the Heiger Family is from which family in the Empire?"

Thor pondered slightly, asking with curiosity.

"Heiger’s full name is Heiger Beach, a descendant of the Beach Family, but not a direct line, just a branch."

Amory glanced at Thor, giving a slight explanation.

"The Beach Family, huh?"

"Thank you, Master Amory!"

Thor nodded slightly.

"No need to thank me. Don’t worry, Heiger likely won’t be back for years."

"As for what follows, I believe with your help, Neil should be fine."

Amory spoke softly.

"Don’t worry, I understand."

Thor nodded slightly, not intending to refuse Amory’s idea.

If he had the ability, he didn’t mind helping Neil Morton.

Hearing Thor’s words, Amory didn’t speak further, but waited quietly.

After a moment, Neil Morton’s figure came out.

Compared to before, his chest now also had a sizable badge, different from Thor’s, but almost identical to Amory’s.

"Kid!"

"I’ve set it up for you, you can leave now!"

"I still have things to do!"

Neil Morton spoke, seemingly back to normal.

But Thor knew clearly that Neil Morton was only suppressing his inner anger, waiting for the time to explode.

"Alright!"

"I won’t disturb you then!"

Thor nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

Then left directly.

And after Thor left.

Neil Morton looked directly at Amory.

"Take me to the Illusion Realm!"

"Don’t tell me it doesn’t exist, I knew about it back then."

He spoke in a low tone, with a hint of determination.

"Alright!"

Amory gave a wry smile, knowing he couldn’t stop him, so he could only agree and lead Neil Morton to a location.

Of course, Thor didn’t know any of this.

After separating from Neil Morton and Amory, he quickly returned to his domain.

He still had a lot of things to handle today.

As for future plans, there was no rush, they could proceed slowly.

With the immense backing of Canaan Academy, he could accomplish much more than before now.

The night gradually passed.

A new day slowly arrived.

In the next few days, Thor kept handling affairs and went to Canaan Academy to read books.

Time quietly passed in this manner, and ten days went by.
