Chapter 506: Old Friends in Dongdu
Chapter 506: Old Friends in Dongdu
Dongdu.
Time flies, and Ivan and his companions have returned to the surface from the underground world without any problems along the way.
Not long after he came back, an old friend came to visit him at Xunmu Tower.
"Wizard Ivan, I heard that you have been staying in Berta Blood Plain?"
"Doug, I'm afraid you're behind on news."
"Wizard Solomon, what do you mean by this?"
"It seems that you really don't know that Ivan has not only been in the Sharp Wind Island of the Berta Blood Plain, but also caused a lot of commotion in the Empty Flow Valley of the Sharp Wind Island. Not long after, he went to the City of Truth in the Berta Island, announced the success of the Return Tower that was closely related to the teleportation array, and made a marriage contract with Miss Tanya of the Fitzrod family--"
Our visitors this day were Doug and Solomon.
The real purpose of the two men was to come and pay a visit to Hotes. Within the Five Leaf Spear, Hotes was the Speaker of the Five Leaf, and the two were the Four Leaf Chairmen, and they were also Hotes' subordinates.
When Hotes arrived in the Eastern Capital, he did not hide his whereabouts, and his news had already spread through various channels.
They were both relatively latecomers.
People like Naniel and Cherry from the Vernon Millennium Archives in Dongdu came on the third day after Hotes arrived in Dongdu, and came to greet him from time to time afterwards.
People from Nandu, Xidu and Beidu have shown up one after another.
Solomon and Doug were unlucky. When they got the news and rushed to Dongdu, Hotes had already entered the underground world with Ivan. They could only wait nearby until Hotes appeared again.
Just now, not long after Ivan and his group returned from underground, the two of them appeared together.
After listening to Solomon's statement, Doug realized that Ivan's various feats were actually valued by the number one man in the wizarding world, the King of the Sky.
"Wizard Ivan, compared to your situation, the two of us have always been just fighting small things." Doug sighed.
"Yes, yes. Back then on the Moonclamp Peninsula, it was me who led you into the Five-Leaf Spear. But now the distance between us is getting farther and farther." Solomon echoed.
Being in the same room, the two could vaguely feel the pressure coming from Ivan, which showed that there was a big gap in strength between them.
At the beginning, Ivan was still a first-level wizard, and both of them became second-level wizards.
Now, there was a reversed sense of perception that made the two of them ashamed.
"You two, you didn't come here just to praise me, did you?"
Ivan has heard this kind of thing so much recently that he has developed a resistance to it.
Naniel and Cherry said the same thing before.
The two of them felt it more deeply and knew more about Ivan's strength. Sometimes they would come to Xunmu Tower to discuss ways to advance in arcane magic.
“It’s a moment of emotion, a moment of emotion,” Doug said immediately.
"I'm done with my feelings. Let's talk about other things. Which area have you two been busy with recently?"
“——”
“——”
The two of them mostly stayed on the China Continent. Sometimes they would enter the ancient Gulongman Road under the Storm Ocean, as well as explore some dangerous places around the continent. They rarely went to the Berta Blood Plain.
Solomon has the support of the Bellizzi family, and usually focuses on family-related activities.
Doug is a loner who is more interested in participating in the various missions of the Five Leaf Spear.
In general, as a third-level wizard, both of them are working tirelessly on the road of seeking resources, exploring knowledge, and improving strength.
"Ivan, let me ask you something." Doug suddenly said after a while.
"Just say it." Ivan motioned for him to speak directly.
"You have been in Berta Blood Plain for so long and have also been to the City of Truth. Have you ever been to our Five Leaf Spear headquarters?" Doug asked after hesitating for a few seconds.
"You mean the Vernon Millennium Archives Main Branch, right?"
"Yes, I've dealt with many people in the organization, and I always feel that something is - something is strange. It is completely different from what I originally expected. Is the Five Leaf Spear itself corrupted?" Among the three, Doug undoubtedly dealt with the other members of the Five Leaf Spear the most. The more contact he had, the more he felt that something was wrong with the Five Leaf Spear.
If this continues, it will be over sooner or later, which makes him worry about it.
"They are people from China Continent. They behave differently from the people from Berta Blood Plain in many aspects. They don't look like they are from the same organization. Is that right?" Ivan asked.
"Right." Doug nodded.
"Speaking of which, I also found some strange things. The secret method of 'multi-being' learned by some people seems to be different from ours. Theirs is more simple and not as practical as what we have learned." Solomon added from the side.
There is no doubt that the two, like Ivan, have benefited greatly from the Five-Leaf Spear and have long regarded it as a support in their hearts.
There was chaos within the Five Leaf Spear, which was something the two of them absolutely did not want to see.
"I have never been to the Vernon Millennium Archives." Facing the two pairs of eyes, Ivan slowly shook his head. When the two were a little disappointed, he continued:
"To be honest, I know the reason."
"what?"
"Please let me know. Thank you very much."
"The reason is very simple. There is a disagreement among the upper echelons of the Five Leaf Spear. The organization is now almost divided into two parts. We belong to Speaker Hotes's group, and more people obey the orders of Wizard Spark."
Unlike the two ignorant people, Ivan knew too much about the Five Leaf Spear's background, and he did not hide it from his two old friends, and selectively told them part of the information.
In fact, he also knew the reasons why the multiple-in-one secret techniques were different.
What they had learned was Tanya's simplified translation, and then Hotes stepped in and made further cuts and threw it over to Sparks.
After obtaining the magic, Sparky optimized it before daring to release it to the wizards under his command.
This matter was full of twists and turns, and there were a lot of dirty things involved, but Ivan didn't tell Doug and the others.
"How could this be?"
After hearing his explanation, Doug felt a little regretful.
"The reasons are very complicated and involve many things, so I won't tell you, so as not to trouble you." Ivan didn't want to say more about Tanya.
"Then should we try to avoid completing missions with the people over there?" Doug then asked a key question. He relied more on missions to obtain resources.
If he tried to avoid it, his losses would be great and he would have to change his plans.
"That's not necessary. The two sides haven't completely severed their relationship yet. Just pretend you don't know. Just do what you did before. The conflicts between arcane wizards generally won't affect you. There's no need to worry too much."
Ivan thought about it, but gave a different opinion.
The main reason is that Doug's strength is not at that level yet, and he is not in Spark's eyes for the time being. As long as he doesn't cause trouble for the other party, I think the other party will not deliberately make things difficult for a Four Leaf member.
After all, the relationship has not been completely torn apart, and the fig leaf is still there.
People like Nanil, Cherie and others can't do that.
When the Five-Leaf Spear mutated, a few people including Naniel and Cherry realized that something was wrong and chose to avoid it, and retreated to the China Continent.
The most fundamental reason is that they can't stand Spark's style and they almost jumped out to scold him.
They are certainly different from Doug and Solomon.
"Thank you."
"Goodbye, Evan."
Ivan and the other two talked for a while. When Doug left, he still had some doubts in his mind, but he knew what to do next.
Watching the two men leaving, Ivan couldn't help but secretly complain that Hotes was indeed not a qualified boss.
