Chapter 370 Things change and people change
Mona Ant Farm Cottage.
Wizards who are rarely seen on weekdays appeared outside the Ant-Man Barrier, standing in twos and threes, looking forward in a certain direction.
If the new dean, Randall Humphrey, had not told them, they would not even know that a powerful figure had appeared in the academy, the first third-level wizard born in the academy in nearly a thousand years.
Look, that big shot is about to arrive.
"coming."
As a beautiful airship quickly approached, the wizards stood in a row involuntarily, like subjects waiting for the monarch's inspection.
"Great Elder Marichaton, welcome back to the Mona Ant Farm Hut."
When Ivan walked out of the airship, he noticed a number of familiar figures below, all waiting for his arrival in an orderly manner.
Some joined the academy at the same time as him, such as Conley, Meili, Came, etc.; some became official wizards at about the same time as him, such as Gina, Wolfan, Heidi, etc.; and some were colleagues he had worked with, such as Chris Donner, Andaya, Madeline, etc.
Of course, the two deans were standing at the front. Dean Wakin was also there, followed by Jushiti, Purnie, Nora, and Rona.
His eyes were as sharp as lightning, taking in everything.
Randall, Justie and Purney were fine, but the expressions of the others were filled with nothing but awe, giving him a strong feeling that things had changed and people had changed.
"I just came back to take a look, why make such a fuss?" He flashed and landed on the ground.
"As you should, as you should. You are not only a third-level wizard, but also a great scholar in Dongdu, a great enchanter, and the Inspector of the Enchanting Guild. It is an honor for us to meet you." Dean Wakin smiled.
He was well-informed and knew everything clearly, which surprised Ivan a little.
"What's going on with this 'Great Elder'?"
"You are now much stronger and more knowledgeable than both of us. How can you continue to use your original title? I have discussed it with Dean Humphrey and have decided to add a title of 'Grand Elder' above the Dean. You see--"
"That's good. Let them go and put aside their school affairs to watch over me alone."
It was just a title, Ivan didn't dwell too much on such a small issue. He didn't plan to play the game of being friendly this time when he came back. The difference in strength was there. In this place where strength was respected, the difference in strength was the difference between superior and inferior.
In the world of Danela, the concept of superiority and inferiority is innate.
Although Ivan said so, the others didn't dare to leave until he entered the Ant-Man Barrier surrounded by many people. Only then did the others leave with shock and emotion. Many people couldn't calm down for a long time.
Like Chris Donner, he has always been a little resentful about the Ant-Man altar incident, thinking that Ivan stole his opportunity.
Even though Ivan became a second-level wizard, he was secretly thinking about catching up and surpassing him in strength. He never expected that the other party suddenly became a third-level wizard.
Now, he had no thoughts in his mind.
Chasing? You have to be able to see the other person's back.
Not to mention the complicated feelings of others, Ivan followed his entourage back to the Shadow Ant Fortress where he once lived. Although it was wider and more magnificent than before, it was still not to his liking now.
Whether it is the Black Ant Tower or the Swift Wood Tower, when compared together, the Shadow Ant Fortress is obviously dwarfed.
He even looked down upon the entire Mona Ant Colony Hut, which made Ivan sigh. There was a reason why wizards kept expanding their settlements.
Of course, there are still things worth exploring in the academy, and that is the Ant-Man Barrier.
The Black Demon Sacrifice Cocoon Formation was derived from Ant-Man's Barrier. Although he was very familiar with Ant-Man's Barrier in the past, now that his strength level has increased and his horizons have broadened, he will definitely see different things when he goes back to explore Ant-Man's Barrier again.
……
Originally, everyone thought that the great elder would not stay for long and would leave the Mona Ant Colony Hut soon.
What was unexpected was that he actually stayed there for two full months. Although he rarely showed up, there was always movement, mainly coming from the Ant-Man barrier covering the academy.
The people who were happiest that Ivan didn't leave were Justie and Purney, who wished he could stay here forever.
The two of them actually knew that Ivan stayed not for himself, but to explore the Ant-Man Barrier. As a wizard, they also understood that the tireless pursuit of knowledge is what wizards should do. Their lovers have such talent, such perseverance, and such achievements, of course they are proud of this and silently support it.
"What are you two staring at?"
Inside the Ant-Man secret vault, Ivan turned around and found the two women staring at him blankly with tenderness in their eyes.
They came back to their senses when they heard his voice.
"Ivan, can we go back to Tidal Island together?" After a two-second pause, Jiushi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, I was planning to take you back with me. I also planned to negotiate with the two deans to revise the original academy contract regulations. As the academy's rare great elder, I am not in vain. I deserve some privileges."
Ivan chuckled and then announced a decision.
"You mean--" Hearing this, Jushiti and Purnie couldn't help but imagine a lot.
"Just as you think, follow me to Dongdu Dongren City this time. Of course, if you want to stay here, I have no objection." Ivan continued without keeping you in suspense.
It is true that he likes to indulge in cultivation and research, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have other emotions and desires, they just don't account for a large proportion.
In this life, he is destined to pursue strength.
"I'll go. I'm going to Dongdu."
"me too."
How could the two refuse? They agreed immediately.
Jiushi almost jumped for joy.
Modifying the college's contract regulations is extremely difficult for other people in the college.
For Ivan now, it was just a piece of cake. Moreover, he had no intention of making any major cuts, but only adding a few regulations involving the 'Grand Elder'.
If others cannot reach the level of "Grand Elder", the new regulations will be no different from the previous ones.
With such a small request, I think no one would deny him face.
"Ivan, did you find anything?" Penny was happy and asked curiously when she saw him looking around.
"It's natural."
"Can you tell me about it? In the past, I followed the layout you left behind and explored the Ant-Man Barrier for a long time, but I didn't find anything new."
"Are you studying enchantment?" Ivan looked at her in surprise.
"Yeah, but compared to you, it's not worth mentioning." Jiushi nodded, then said a little embarrassedly.
"Then come here, and Jiushiti come too." Ivan waved at her first, and then called Jiushiti, who was looking eagerly, over.
The next moment, guided by his power, the perception of the two people sank into the Ant-Man Barrier, and with the operation of the formation on the barrier, the perception continued to sink, sink into the ground, sink into the swamp, and then spread to a farther place.
At an unknown distance, the two sensed something with the same aura as Ant-Man's Barrier, but it was not as thick.
After a while, the perception shifted to another location, and another thing with the same aura appeared.
"There's a reason why this swamp is called 'Tidal Swamp' and 'Ant-Man Tidal Swamp'. Ant-Man has actually spread hidden nodes all over the swamp, on a massive scale." Ivan exclaimed in admiration.
The two also discovered that Ant-Man's deployment had penetrated deep into the surrounding swamps and was densely packed.
No one had ever imagined that there was such a shocking secret hidden beneath the swamp surrounding the college, but it was buried very deep.
