Chapter 624: Conflict (1) (2/2)

There were more so many dark wizards moving to the border; it almost looked like a lot of snakes moving on the map.

The shadow of the war was merging onto this land.

*******************

On top of Ramsoda's white obelisk.

Angele was standing on the shell-shaped balcony calmly, overlooking the whole school.

At noon, the Ramsoda school looked like a humongous machine with gears rotating inside. The wizards and apprentices were moving in the school quickly; they looked like sticky black liquid from the sky, all moving to the exit of the school.

Teams of black bats were leaving the parking lot; there were also horses running on the ground.

Angele stood on the balcony, holding a tall black staff in the right hand. He looked at the school members quietly. He found a problem and his brow furrowed. Angele hit the floor using the staff slightly and made some crisp noises.

”Get department head Vivi here,” he ordered.

The black wooden staff was a special item used by the school leader. Only strong wizards had the ability to activate the staff, which represented the power in the school. The war had started and the president handed the staff to Angele.

The staff was around two meters long and there was a dark gem floating on top of it. The dark gem had the size of a fist and was releasing gentle purple light.

Around two minutes later, a female wizard in a black long robe appeared behind Angele and bowed to him slightly.

”Master? Did you summon me?”

Angele turned around as the strong wind blew his long red hair to the left. The black robe he was wearing also made some noise.

”I have a question. The school has a guardian, right? Who's the current guardian?”

”Guardian?” Vivi had a pale face and she looked a bit weak. A bitter smile appeared on her face as she heard the word. ”Master, the last guardian of the school, Master Phil, passed away around 300 years ago. The school didn't find a new guardian due to many reasons…”

”The guardian is usually not a human being. With the power of the guardian, it's possible to expand the guardian's energy wave to the whole Ramsoda forest. The energy waves released by the guardian are important to the school's defense system,” Angele said.

”Yeah… The problem is the school is not attractive to the guardians. Without a strong wizard in the school, the ones who can become guardians all declined our offer,” Vivi responded.

”I'll see what I can do about it. You need to tell me more about the guardian and how the resources will be distributed here. I need the details.”

”Yes, Master.” Vivi thought for a second and started explaining, ”Guardian is an ancient technique from the old Ramsoda School. I heard that the original members of the school acquired the technique from a different realm. We don't give the guardian a lot of resources, but the guardian will be given special power.”

”Special power?” Angele wondered.

”Yeah, after one becomes the guardian of the school, he must protect the school for 200 years. Also, the guardian will be given some special power during the period.” Vivi finished the sentence and decided to use energy particles to transfer the rest of the words.

”The Stamina of Ramsoda's guardian will be increased by two standard levels.”

Angele's expression changed and he held his staff tighter. He was certain that Vivi was not lying to him, but the special power sounded too good to be true. This was not even the central continent; he had never read about such information before.

”Are you sure that it's two standard levels? Not one?”

”I'm sure.” Vivi nodded.

Angele's expression loosened.

One standard level of Stamina was around ten points in the biochip's system. Two standard levels were like 20 points of Stamina. 20 points of increase would bring one's Stamina to a whole different level.

For example, if the Stamina of a palm-sized rabbit was increased by 20, the rabbit would turn to a monster that had the size of a cow; also, the rabbit's resistance and recovery speed would also be increased greatly.

Angele's true form would bring him around 80 points of Stamina, and he had the power level of a rank 8 wizard. 20 points of the increase could easily turn a cat into a tiger.

About ten seconds later, Angele calmed down.

”Can I have a look at that ancient technique?”

”Of course, but it'll take us ten days to get everything prepared. The technique is stored in a special place,” Vivi explained. ”Also, we've been studying the technique for centuries but we still can't figure out the secrets behind it. The technique would change slightly whenever we were about to figure everything out—it had changed over 3000 times.”

”Don't worry. Get everything prepared. I'll take care of the war first,” Angele ordered. He did not expect the technique to be so strong. Although there were only weak wizards on the west coast, some lost techniques were still worth collecting.

”Also, is everything going well with the entrance to the underground world?”

Vivi nodded.

”Everything is going as planned. We can keep the entrance open for up to two months and you should be able to finish what you need to do.”

”Great.”
