"Effect of Donokās Poison: Significantly reduces self-healing capability, continuously causes poisoning damage, accompanied by a weakness curse and fatigue curse..."
Finally, there was a self-healing timer provided by the system: "71:59:55."
"Even with my constitution and poison resistance, it will take three days to completely purge it... The attached curse effects are the most troublesome, reducing my strength by about twenty percent."
Rein sensed it and discovered that his current spiritual power fluctuations had dropped to the Middle Stage of Dawn.
However, since he could self-heal, Rein wasnāt particularly worried and immediately checked the attribute panel.
Spirit: 282 (Quality 92%)
"After killing the āUnhearableā Kexiāer, absorption increased by 12%, and the second time killing the āUnseeableā Donok increased by 11%."
"Iāve essentially stepped into the Peak of Dawn Wizard." Reinās mind was immediately relieved of the small distress caused by Donokās poison.
Because given another choice, even knowing that killing Donok would definitely result in poisoning, Rein would still kill him without hesitation.
Three days of weakness in exchange for permanent strength gain; anyone would know how to make that choice.
At that moment, Rein suddenly looked up at the sky in the distance.
On the horizon, a giant airship slowly appeared, and with Reinās eyesight, he could naturally see the five-colored giant dragon emblem on the airshipās balloon.
At the same time, the lookouts on the airship could also see the giant pit in the center plaza of the Isodre School station in Nirheim City and the smoke that had not completely dissipated.
Soon, the situation was immediately reported to the ears of everyone in the meeting room.
"What! Suspected that most of the Isodre School station has been destroyed?"
"This Lord Rein is too young and acts excessively!" Pantoscoke, the Imperial Guardian with the title āStorm Cloud,ā slammed the table heavily and angrily reprimanded.
"Does he not know that the Isodre School station is in the city center of Nirheim? Acting recklessly is simply to disregard the lives of ordinary citizens of the Empire."
"Elder Ivan, I suggest that the Elder Council temporarily suspend the review of Reinās Guardian candidate status. Even if his strength meets the basic requirements of an Imperial Guardian, his personal qualities do not meet the standards of an Imperial Guardian."
At this time, the Imperial Army Marshal Mayer Lane also agreed:
"Yes! There is also another problem: if the Isodre School demands action against this Lord Rein, what should we do?"
"I must remind everyone that if we do not take action, and the Isodre School loses heart, who will help the Empire dutifully guard the Shirendil Plateau to suppress the cults and Secret School?"
Though he seemed to be questioning everyone, in reality, he pointed out the serious consequences of inaction, implications obvious.
"This..." Marshal Alfred opened his mouth but didnāt know how to refute for a moment.
Elder Ivanās face also didnāt look good.
After all, if it really were like that, though he could maneuver, there wouldnāt be any substantial punishment for Rein, but the current status of Guardian candidate would probably be revoked.
...
"The Imperial Elder Council?"
"Could it be theyāre here for me?" Rein frowned slightly.
He vaguely felt that the visitors did not come with good intentions.
At this moment, the surrounding Isodre School wizards gradually emerged from the protective witch array, and the two leading elder wizards, after observing for a while, realized that Rein seemed to have no intention of continuing, then dared to approach him together.
The mustached elder and the grey-haired elder both bowed to Rein in unison and said, "Your Crown, this incident at the Isodre School is truly a disgrace."
"But most of the young wizards in the school were unaware of Sect Leader Stuttgart and Deputy Sect Leader Malcolmās actions. We hope Your Crown can forgive these young ones."
The two of them respectfully addressed Rein as āYour Crown,ā not entirely out of courtesy, but sincerely, for after all, at the Late Stage of Dawn Wizard, even though Rein was not yet an Imperial Guardian, he had long been one in every way.
Rein nodded and said, "I saw your performance just now and can tell that most of the School Wizards were unaware of Stuttgartās actions."
"Including you two, who also did not take action just now; it seems that even you have been kept in the dark."
As Rein spoke, he glanced around.
He noticed that besides the two elder wizards, who were at the Peak Crystalization level, there were six or seven at the Crystalization level, more than thirty at the Liquidization level, and over a hundred at the Fogging level around him.
Wherever you put it, this was a formidable force, evidence of a large wizard schoolās strength and foundation.
"Itās quite shameful to speak of. Since Stuttgart ascended to Dawn Wizard, we rarely had a hand in school matters, otherwise, we might have discovered some clues earlier," said the gray-haired elder wizard.
"Whatās the use of saying this? The Isodre School will probably be delisted from large wizard schools this time," the mustached elder wizard lamented as he looked around.
"This is inevitable. Just as dynasties rise and fall, wizard schools also have their ups and downs... Lord Rein, our Isodre School may no longer have the capacity to guard the Shirendil Plateau."
"Please, could you inform the Empireās high-level management? Of course, we will also proactively apply to the Empire..."
