The truth revealed in Chapter 332: friend or foe?
"Yes, Wizard Leo."
Leo then prepared to leave the Tower of Dawn and head to the Expedition Island.
Just as Leo arrived at the port, a voice came.
"Leo, come find me at the tower."
Leo stopped in his tracks, his expression freezing.
The voice belonged to none other than Augusta.
Leo frowned slightly, wondering what Augusta wanted to see him about.
The top floor of the tower.
Leo entered that familiar room.
However, this time, the person guarding the door was not Beth, but another unfamiliar wizard.
This wizard is also a certified wizard.
In the Tower of Dawn, Augusta is the only one who can command a formal wizard to guard the gate.
Even the most powerful crystallization wizards cannot get the weakest formal wizard to guard their door.
Even the weakest of the official wizards is still an official wizard.
There is an absolute difference in status between a formal wizard and a wizarding apprentice.
"Leo..."
After Leo entered the room, Augusta, who had been facing the window with her hands behind her back, turned around.
His eyes, as always, were filled with dazzling starlight.
This makes Augusta look more like some kind of special life form than a human.
Leo could not discern any change in Augusta's emotions from his star-studded eyes and indifferent expression.
"I didn't call you here for anything important. As an elder who walked the path of wizards, I just wanted to talk to you about a few things."
Augusta asked, "Leo, what is your opinion on the prophecy I made?"
Leo became wary, but his words came out quickly: "Lord Augusta, your prophecy naturally represents the future of the entire Tower of Dawn."
"As long as you can become a second-circle wizard, my Tower of Dawn will firmly maintain its position as the strongest force in the Sea of Sinking Light for the next few hundred years."
Upon hearing this, Augusta said, "Leo, I don't want to hear flattery. I want to know, from the perspective of a Protoss wizard, what is your view on prophecy?"
Leo smiled wryly and said, "Lord Augusta, if you say you don't want to hear flattery, then I really have nothing to say. Every word I've said comes from the bottom of my heart, from the bottom of my soul. Now you say this is flattery, then I can only say that I have nothing to say."
The starlight in Augusta's eyes brightened slightly with Leo's words. He said, "Leo, your words are impeccable—they offend no one and demonstrate your loyalty to me. However, what I want to hear is not these insincere words."
Augusta's magical pressure was released.
This wasn't the first time Leo had felt the magical pressure of a powerful wizard.
It even contained the magical pressure of a crystallizing wizard.
However, Augusta's magical pressure is different.
His magical pressure was of a lower quality compared to that of other formal wizards.
If the magical pressure of an ordinary crystallizing wizard is only a slight ripple, then Augusta's magical pressure is like a huge, raging storm.
They can kill a frail life like Leo anytime, anywhere.
Leo broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Lord Augusta, I don't know what your opinion of me is, but what I'm saying now truly comes from the bottom of my heart."
Augusta gave Leo a scrutinizing look and said, "If you truly mean what you say, then I can understand it as... for my prophecy. Leo, are you also willing to sacrifice yourself to contribute to my prophecy?"
Before Leo could answer, he astutely noticed.
Threads of prophecy are binding him.
These prophetic threads are different from those brought by the prophecy from the magic stone, making Leo vaguely feel a huge threat.
Leo's mind was racing, but in the end, he said, "If I really encountered that situation, then I would indeed do the same."
"very good."
Augusta's "Very good!" had just fallen.
Leo was surrounded by prophetic threads that emitted a purplish-black hue.
These threads are the threads of a new divination that Augusta has just laid out.
Through the power of the Seven-Colored Dragon's bloodline, Leo could vaguely understand the function of these threads.
These threads are what allow Augusta to unleash the power of the prophecy if Leo tries to stop her when she advances the prophecy, thus inflicting a severe blow on Leo.
Compared to the prophetic threads brought by the magic stone, although the effect is similar, it is more targeted and more powerful.
However, although Leo understood this, he did not show it.
After arranging the silk threads, Augusta's attitude towards Leo improved considerably. He said, "Okay, I believe you."
"As long as you remain truly loyal to me, I will treat you with the respect due to your abilities in the future."
"I, Augusta, am most fond of promoting intelligent, talented, and loyal juniors."
This thread of prophecy seemed to have made Augusta lower some of her guard and scheming against Leo.
As a result, Augusta's behavior in front of Leo also changed a lot, becoming more casual.
Leo kept his eyes down the whole time, indicating his submission.
Augusta said, "As a reward for your loyalty to me, I will tell you something else about Stoffen."
""
"Each of us formal wizards has our own special research."
"This kind of research is not magic, but something much larger: the workings of society."
"Equality among all beings, respect for the strong, an era without war... these can all be areas of special research for us wizards."
Leo had already heard these things from the instructor before, as Augusta had said.
To avoid being noticed by Augusta, Leo deliberately feigned surprise.
As Augusta spoke, his gaze would occasionally sweep over Leo.
After witnessing Leo's "normal" behavior, Augusta continued, "Most formal wizards conduct relatively normal special research. Although the world systems they want to construct all have certain tendencies, most of them are beneficial to humanity."
"However, there are also a few official wizarding world systems where the research direction has deviated."
Augusta said, "That's how the wizard Stoffens was."
"The world system that the wizard Stoffen wanted to build was a world system in which dragons reigned supreme. In his world system, humans were merely pawns under the dragons' command."
"In this world, even a wizard with dragon bloodline abilities can only be a general under a pure-blooded dragon."
In this world system, pure-blooded dragons are the true rulers, ruling the entire world; they are the uncrowned nobility.
"I believe this kind of world system is a betrayal of humanity."
"I don't want this kind of world system to come into existence someday in the future."
