Another World: The Failed Magician

"If you're going to do it, hurry up, my patience is limited."

Kahn spoke in a very calm tone, and he didn't even put down the book in his hand.

After he finished speaking, the shadowy figure behind Kahn remained standing still.

"Since you don't have the courage to make a move, then hurry up and disappear. Don't waste my time standing here. I'll let you off this time because we were master and disciple after all. But it won't be so simple next time we meet."

"Teacher, I don't know if you've noticed it yourself, but whenever you lack confidence, you resort to bluffing. If your strength were still the same as before, you would have already made your move. Also, teacher, when did you become someone who cares about the teacher-student relationship? I didn't know that."

Kahn did not answer the question.

He paid no attention to Kahn's silent shadow.

His somewhat hoarse voice continued to ring out from behind Kahn.

"Teacher, you really don't need to keep acting. You deliberately used a forbidden spell in the battle just now, wasn't it to mislead me and make me think that your strength is still the same as before? Unfortunately, although your acting was very convincing, you still couldn't fool me. So I'm a little curious about what you're going to do now. You didn't fool me, and you even used a forbidden spell. You must have very little magic power left in your body now. I'm even starting to doubt whether you still have the ability to fight?"

"Since you're so confident, then just give it a try."

Kahn remained expressionless and spoke in a very calm tone.

"There's no need for that. After all, my task is just to hold you off. Although you don't have much magic right now, who knows how many trump cards you old man still have hidden? I'm too lazy to fight you."

After he finished speaking, a handsome man emerged from the darkness.

He pulled out a stool from his spatial ring, then sat down opposite Kahn with one leg crossed.

"Teacher, please understand. After all, you've accepted the benefits, so you still have to do the work. But don't worry, even though you don't care about the teacher-student relationship, I still respect you. As long as you don't intend to leave, I won't take action."

"Oh, you mean someone instructed you to stall me?"

"Teacher, you don't need to try to trick me like this. You can't go anywhere anyway, and you'll find out later. Telling you now is the same."

"Lokak, do you know?"

Kahn nodded.

"It's good that you know, so I can save myself some trouble. He's the one who asked me to keep an eye on you. To be honest, I was reluctant to agree at first, after all, we're master and disciple. But the price they offered was too high, and I couldn't refuse, Master."

"Why did he do this?"

Kahn asked naturally.

"Teacher, that's a very unreasonable question. I'm just someone who does things for money. How would I know what his plans are?"

Upon hearing this response, Kahn snorted coldly.

"You! Don't joke around. If you didn't know the whole plan, you wouldn't dare show your face in front of me."

The man waved his hand with a faint smile on his face.

"It seems nothing can be hidden from you, teacher. Indeed, I know their plan, but unfortunately, I cannot tell you."

The man paused for a moment, then looked at Kahn with a smile.

"But since you're my teacher, I can give you a spoiler here. What I can tell you is that all of this is related to your little nephew."

"Will!"

For the first time, Kahn showed a clear emotional fluctuation, his tone filled with obvious anger.

"Yes, it's that little nephew you care about the most."

Besides anger, a hint of doubt flashed in Kahn's eyes.

Will is the son of his elder brother, Mossos. In the battle for the throne that year, if nothing unexpected had happened, his brother should have inherited the throne.

However, his elder brother disliked power, even loathed it, so he took advantage of a banquet held when a foreign envoy visited.

While everyone's attention was focused on the banquet, Mossos seized the opportunity to escape.

Because his brother gave up the throne, Kahn became the strongest contender for the throne, and a few years later, he smoothly became the emperor of the Lova Empire.

It seemed the matter was over, but in the second year after Kahn successfully ascended the throne, one night, a maid suddenly appeared in the palace carrying a baby.

The maid told Kahn that she was a maid in the Mossos family. Her elder brother had been living in a very remote little manor for the past few years. The manor wasn't very big, but the family was very happy. In addition, the lady had recently given birth to a son, which filled the entire manor with an atmosphere of joy. But one night, a group of mysterious people suddenly broke into the manor and attacked them.

Finally, Mossos and his wife's desperate resistance gave her the opportunity to activate the spatial scroll.

So she took Will, who had just been born, and fled the manor. Mossos's last instructions were for her to bring the child to Emperor Kahn.

Although she could hardly believe that her employer was connected to the current emperor, she still brought little Will here because of her trust in Mauss.

Kahn immediately confirmed Will's identity, and the results showed that Will was indeed of royal blood from the Lova family.

He then immediately led his men to the small manor the maid had mentioned.

However, the place was too remote, and it had already taken the maid quite some time to find him.

When Kahn finally arrived with his men, the entire manor had been reduced to ruins, leaving no trace.

Kahn deployed almost all the resources he could, but still couldn't find out who the killer was.

The maid felt extremely guilty after learning the outcome and hanged herself a few days later.

After all these events, Kahn was basically certain that Will was his older brother's son.

He treated Will almost like his own child, especially since he had never married a woman and had no children of his own for many years.

Kahn also regarded Will as his heir to the throne.

However, as the conflicts between the five great empires intensified, a great war that engulfed all of humanity broke out.

Although the war was finally brought to an end through simultaneous negotiations among the five empires, the Lova Empire was severely weakened.

At this time, a revolutionary force suddenly emerged in the Lova Empire.

This force expanded at an incredible speed, and the spark quickly became a prairie fire.

Kahn also saw his own defeat in that crimson flame.

So he secretly sent young Will to a faraway place, hoping that his older brother's child could live a happy life.

According to Kahn's plan, Will was supposed to stay there for the rest of his life and live a peaceful life like an ordinary person, but how did he end up in this vortex again?

The man naturally noticed the confusion in Kahn's eyes.

"You must be full of questions right now, don't worry, I'm just being kind."

"You went to great lengths to secretly send your little nephew away. This matter should have been flawless, but you miscalculated one thing."

"What went wrong?"

Kahn had already closed the grimoire in his hand, and a murderous aura emanated from his aged face, like an old lion baring its fangs once again.

The man dragged the stool back several steps, looking frightened.

"Teacher, please don't look at me like that, I'm scared."

Kahn remained silent in the face of the man's antics, continuing to stare at him with a somewhat cold gaze.

"Actually, it's your nephew, Will, who has the problem."

As the man spoke, he dropped his exaggerated expression and adopted an indifferent look.

"What did you do to him?"

Kahn's gaze was no longer simply cold; the murderous aura emanating from it was enough to make a man feel a chill run through his body.

“Teacher, you’ve hurt me so much by saying that. Am I that kind of person? Didn’t I already say that the problem was his own? Actually, that’s not quite right. How can you call that a problem? It should be called a blessing from heaven. Your little nephew is the chosen successor of the hero.”

"what!"

The old man's tone was full of shock and bewilderment.

The Warrior, a name almost buried by time.

That was the highest title for the strongest of all races when the demon race launched a war across the entire continent, and it was also the hope of each race.

Finally, with the combined efforts of heroes from various races, the Ancestral Dragon Empire, and the Elf Empire, the demons were defeated and sealed away.

Fearing that the demons might one day return, the heroes left their legacy at the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild.

One day in the future, their legacy will activate on its own and find a successor, leading the people of the continent to fight against darkness.

However, the seal on the demon race has not been broken to this day, so the matter of the hero's inheritance, along with the matter of the demon race, has disappeared into the dust of history.

Kahn never imagined that he would hear that name again in this way one day.

"Oh, teacher, you've really gotten old. You can't even control your emotions over something as small as this. And I haven't finished telling my story yet."

"Not long after you hid him, Will was chosen by the legacy of the hero, and the Adventurers' Guild found him as a matter of course."

"But that kid was quite composed and never revealed his identity. I only found out about it after he had made quite a name for himself."

"How did he get involved with Locas?"

"This... Teacher, it's difficult for me to ask you this question."

The man's expression was full of conflict.

But when the man sensed that the magical aura emanating from Kahn was becoming increasingly dangerous, he still chose to betray his employer.

"Okay, I was wrong, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

"Actually, this matter is very simple. As you know, Locas has spies everywhere, and with Will's growing fame, Locas approached him. His background was quickly exposed."

"In the end, I don't know what conditions Lokak offered him, but the two of them chose to cooperate. I only found out about his identity after I had seen him a few times when he was a child and felt that his aura was familiar, and after a few tests by myself. So now I only know that he has joined Lokak's plan, but as for what he does specifically, I really don't know."

During the time it took Kahn to listen to the man's account, he managed to control his emotions. After all, the incident had already occurred, and simply being angry wouldn't get him anywhere.

"You came all this way just to tell me this? Moen, why are you doing this? I'm a little confused about your motives."

Upon hearing this, Moen smiled calmly.

"Of course I think it's fun! Don't you think it's interesting? The thought of Karl going up against that kid fills me with indescribable excitement. I'll feel uneasy if I don't tell someone. And you, my teacher, are the perfect person to talk to, aren't you? Will it be your favorite student who defends the federation they built, or your dearest nephew who rebuilds the empire? This is really too interesting."

As Moen spoke, his expression gradually became distorted, and then he began to laugh wildly.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered. The Loca Federation has kept your story hidden. Except for a few people, everyone else thinks you're dead. Thinking about it that way, do you think Will did this to avenge you? Hahaha!"

Kahn's expression was somewhat gloomy.

Moen said with a smile.

"Teacher, it's actually very simple, isn't it? One is the child of your most respected elder brother, and the other is your rebellious student. Isn't the choice obvious? It's not too late for you to cooperate with us now."

Then, the old man slowly sat up from the chair.

Seeing the old man make a move, Moen casually waved his hand, and a deep red staff appeared in his hand.

"Teacher, I think I said it from the beginning, you can't go anywhere. Of course, if you choose to cooperate with us, I have no reason to restrict your freedom."

"What if I insist on going?"

"Then I'll have to take action against you. I won't allow anyone to stop this good show from happening, not even you, teacher."

As he spoke, a terrifying magical power emanated from Moen's body.

Kahn was not to be outdone, and a terrifying magical power emanated from the old man's somewhat frail body.

Seeing the terrifying aura emanating from the old man, Moen was not afraid at all; instead, his eyes were filled with excitement, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

"It seems I underestimated you, teacher."

Kahn stopped answering, reached forward and grabbed, and the staff he had used in his duel with Lu Xuan reappeared in the old man's hand.

Then, a dark purple magic circle suddenly appeared in the sky without warning.

A flicker of surprise crossed Moen's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, replaced by more excitement and hysteria.

"As expected of you, teacher, you were already prepared all along."
