Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 138 Anthony

Whether this 'Pipite' is real or fake, since it has said so, we can assume that we have temporary safety.

When it's true, and it utters those words, it naturally won't harm itself anymore.

If it were a lie, it's unlikely that after saying that, the truth would be exposed over such a trivial matter.

Thinking this, Yaro poured more magic into the 'Light Spell', and the dazzling ball of light illuminated the entire surrounding area.

This is a narrow corridor built of bluestone, no more than three meters wide at its widest point.

The stone walls on both sides were carved with murals. Yaro looked at them carefully and found that they were all scenes of pirates fighting each other.

Following the direction Pipit pointed, Yaro walked quickly while remaining vigilant, pondering to himself, "Why are there murals like this here? It doesn't fit the strange atmosphere of this place."

"And those crystal scorpions."

Yaro looked back and saw that he had already walked the distance, and was once again enveloped in the silent, dark, narrow passage.

Why are these things here? Do they actually exist?

Yaro is completely bewildered and has no idea why such a simple measurement of the speed of light has caused so many unexpected changes.

The fact that they chose the mirror before was already very abnormal.

Who would give out rewards just because others know about your speed?

Just because I measured the speed of light myself, and it wasn't even an accurate result, the sky inexplicably gave me a reward?

Then, in a strange twist of fate, I fell into this space again.

"Is this the danger that Wizard Bosco was referring to?"

If the danger refers to this space, then everything seen within this space should be viewed with skepticism.

If we remain skeptical, could the "official wizard" it refers to be Bosco the wizard who came to rescue it?

Da da da.

Yaro's crisp footsteps echoed in the dark, narrow corridor.

He was horrified by his own assumption.

"I'm in a dilemma!"

Go ahead, there might be a trap ahead, and you'll just fall in.

If we retreat, there might actually be a formal wizard pursuing us from behind; going there would be like lambs to the slaughter.

"Pippi, are you still there?" Yaro stopped and patted the statue next to him, calling out.

Yaro wasn't going to leave. He wanted to get the details from Pipit and take control of the situation, instead of continuing to make either/or choices.

Pipett's voice came from within the stone wall: "Mr. Yarrow, what can I do for you?"

Yaro asked directly, "Pipit, can you let me out? Wizard Bosco is outside; you can ask him to help you deal with any enemies you encounter."

Isn't this the solution?
Why not just call for jungle support instead of taking the hit yourself?

“I know that Wizard Bosco is outside, and he was the one who relayed the news of your arrival to me,” Pipett explained. “But that wizard’s main target is not you. He is shaking the core of this alternate dimension. Once the core is removed, the volcano will erupt, which will have a huge impact on the academy.”

“I’ve mobilized all my power to hold him off, and I no longer have the ability to open the gate to the other dimension.” Hearing Pete say this, Aro immediately found a loophole in his words: “If that’s the case, where else do you expect me to retreat to?”

Pipit: "You need to go to the very bottom of the space, which is the closest place to the material world. If the core is taken by that wizard, that location will have the highest survival rate when the space shatters."

This explanation was so reasonable and well-founded that Yarrow had no choice but to accept it.

But the problem is...

If the core is removed, the space will shatter. You might have a chance of survival if the space shatters, but what happens when you fall into the material world?
If you face an erupting volcano, won't you die?
We can't completely trust what 'Pipit' says, because the wizards chasing us could very well be the wizard Bosco.

Yaro was already somewhat inclined to 'Pipit', but after considering everything, he still said, "Hiding is not the solution. Pipit, take me to where that wizard is."

Go and check to confirm if it is indeed Bosco.

Furthermore, since the power mobilized by 'Pipit' was able to hold its own against him, it meant that the difference in their power was not significant. Yaro wanted to see if he could become the final straw that broke the camel's back.

……

Inside the mysterious hall, in the towering and imposing law enforcement headquarters, various kinds of information were constantly transmitted to the council hall.

"The mithril mine has been attacked by two red-robed wizards!"

"The hot-melt mining area was breached by a red-robed wizard, and all the stockpiled ore was looted."

"Wizard Reddy was attacked by the Red Wizard on his way back, but he escaped successfully and his whereabouts are now unknown."

……

The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table looked at the empty seat in front of him, his expression surprisingly calm: "Why haven't the wizards from the academy arrived yet?"

The administrative staff standing behind him quickly explained, "Dean Anthony, the academy's energy supply has been suddenly cut off, and all the alternate dimensions are in turmoil. Those wizards are trying to stabilize their own alternate dimensions."

“The academy had just lowered its guard, shut down all its defenses, and recalled most of its apprentices when it was attacked,” Dean Anthony chuckled. “If it weren’t for Bosco’s students causing the anomaly and triggering their actions, our losses might have been even greater by the time they were ready.”

The administrative staff member hurriedly asked, "Dean, what should we do now?"

Dean Anthony tapped the table in thought for a moment, looked up at the empty seats around him, shook his head and ordered, "Stop mining in all external resource areas and go on alert. Send a message through the communication tower to the academy wizards who are still outside, and tell them to be on high alert."

"Order the guards to seal off all checkpoints and prohibit unauthorized personnel from moving around."

"Have the academy's wizards come over as soon as the space is stabilized."

“Also, send a message to the Jungle House…” Anthony paused for a moment, shook his head and said, “Let’s leave it at that for now. Those red-robed wizards are already prepared. Making a rash move might lead to an even bigger trap. Go down and pass on the message, and tell them to take precautions.”

"Okay, Dean."

The clerk accepted the order and left.

With only Anthony seated at the head of the table, the spacious parliament hall seemed even more empty.

But soon, a seductive voice broke the silence, "Anthony, you are so ruthless."

With crisp footsteps, Instructor Alice swayed into the hall.

“Ruthless?” Anthony smiled slightly, appearing remarkably calm. “You’re about to sacrifice thousands of your apprentices, why do you call me ruthless?”

“Isn’t that right?” Instructor Alice walked to Anthony’s side and stared intently into his eyes. “I’m doing this for my daughter. What about you? You’re already the dean of the academy. Why are you still helping me with these things?”
