Chapter 118

Sister Sister Mengying had no need to lie.

And in Teacher Martha's sensing, Sister Sister Mengying's aura was indeed powerful.

She even felt it was on par with her own.

This kind of sensing could not be wrong.

Sister Sister Mengying had not deliberately hidden her magic fluctuations!

If she had hidden them, Teacher Martha might not have been able to sense them accurately!

Sister Sister Mengying's words startled even the guard nearby!

However, this guard remembered his status and duties well and did not dare to stare too much.

"Sister Sister Mengying, what happened? Why, after only a few months, are you already a Magic Instructor!"

Teacher Martha was deeply puzzled!

After Teacher Martha finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Sister Sister Mengying, the abyss rift just opened, you wouldn't have..."

Immediately, she felt it didn't seem like it.

Because Sister Sister Mengying was only second-tier a few months ago; even if she traded with an Abyss Demon God to jump directly from second-tier to sixth-tier, the price to pay would be huge.

That would require the mage to sacrifice many pure souls to achieve.

If a mage really chose to do that and gained the power of an Abyss Demon God, there would be more or less some evil aura on them.

If there really were such a mage, they would definitely hide away until a year or two later, when these evil auras were completely hidden, before reappearing.

Because trading with Abyss Demon Gods is strictly forbidden.

Such a mage has already become a pawn of the Abyss Demon God and will sooner or later fall into darkness.

But the abyss rift had only just closed not long ago, and Sister Sister Mengying appeared before her; although the aura on her was powerful, it was also open and aboveboard, without a trace of evil aura.

Not only that, there was a feeling on her that made one feel warm.

There was even a trace of a sacred aura!

This made Teacher Martha think of another possibility!

"Teacher Martha, let's go inside and talk!"

Sister Sister Mengying said to Teacher Martha.

Teacher Martha came to her senses, nodded, and said, "Okay! Seeing you just now, I was too busy being excited; come with me quickly!"

Teacher Martha led Sister Sister Mengying and Mia into the mage tower and brought them to the second floor, where there was a small study that could serve as a reception room.

As a sixth-tier Magic Instructor, Teacher Martha had a high status in the academy; there weren't many people who could be invited by her to the mage tower, and she didn't need a very large reception room!

"Who is this?"

Teacher Martha asked.

Mia said, "Teacher Martha, I am Mia of the Winged-people tribe; my grandfather is Viscount Hawk!"

"So it's Sir Hawk's granddaughter; I have heard of you!"

Teacher Martha said in a friendly manner.

After some pleasantries, Sister Sister Mengying finally said:

"Teacher Martha, I have already dedicated my faith forever to a great deity."

Teacher Martha had actually already guessed it just now.

Hearing this, she asked, "Which one is it?"

Sister Sister Mengying said, "The great Lord of Flame!"

"Lord of Flame?"

Teacher Martha savored the name of this deity.

As long as a deity's divine power does not wither, there is no issue of lifespan, so with the accumulation of endless years, the number of deities in the Heavenly Realm is not small.

Teacher Martha also had some research on the deities of the Heavenly Realm, but she had never heard of the Lord of Flame.

"Could it be some new god?"

Teacher Martha couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Mages are generally quite cautious about giving away their faith, especially high-tier mages; Teacher Martha still hasn't believed in any deity to this day.

The more powerful one is, the more cautious one will be, because powerful mages themselves have the possibility of becoming gods.

Of course, there are also some mages who deliberately believe in deities, even Sanctuary Mages, who want to study the power of faith and the power of gods in this way.

Believing in a new god has certain risks, because new gods have the risk of falling; once they fall, the most loyal believers are often dragged down to some extent.

For some reason, just as Teacher Martha was about to speak, she suddenly thought of the endless flames in the Abyss of Magic Insects!

The flames that completely burned out the Abyss of Magic Insects!

In fact, after the flames dissipated and those students all left the Abyss of Magic Insects, Teacher Martha did not leave immediately.

She saw the big hole in the Abyss of Magic Insects!

That is to say, the Abyss of Magic Insects was burned through by the flames!

This was terrifying!

Burning through a layer of the abyss!

Even special flames would find it difficult to do so!

But that kind of flame did it!

And after Teacher Martha returned to the Magic Academy, she also received some news: an abyss was sealed by flames, and those flames were intercepting the power of the Abyss Demon Gods!

Combining the two, Teacher Martha felt at the time that those flames must have been sent down by some powerful deity.

A deity who dared to seal an abyss, boldly intercept all Abyss Demon Gods, and dared to be an enemy of the Abyss Demon Gods!

A flame deity who dared to send power into the abyss, burn out a layer of the abyss, and even burn through it!

This deity must be exceptionally powerful!

But who this deity was, Teacher Martha did not know.

The higher-ups of the Magic Academy did not know either.

Until now, when Teacher Martha heard Sister Sister Mengying's words, she suddenly felt: could the Lord of Flame that Sister Sister Mengying believes in be that powerful deity who sent down the flames to burn the abyss?

It seems only such a deity could allow Sister Sister Mengying to go from second-tier to sixth-tier in just a few months!

Thinking of this, Teacher Martha couldn't help but feel a little envious!

A few months ago, Sister Sister Mengying was still a second-tier mage, and because of her outstanding magic talent, Teacher Martha had always wanted to take her as a disciple!

Well, now Sister Sister Mengying calls her Teacher Martha just because Teacher Martha taught her classes, not a one-on-one master-disciple relationship.

But only a few months have passed, and Sister Sister Mengying has actually become a sixth-tier Magic Instructor!

It seems Sister Sister Mengying is particularly valued by the Lord of Flame!

After thinking for a moment, Teacher Martha did not continue to press the issue.

Asking too much about other people's faith is not good behavior!

The Magic Academy does not forbid students from believing in deities; that would be openly being an enemy of the deities, and the higher-ups of the Magic Academy would not be that stupid.

Moreover, Sister Sister Mengying has become a Magic Instructor; if she is unwilling to continue staying at the Magic Academy, the Magic Academy has no right to force her to stay.

"Sister Sister Mengying, your progress is truly great; congratulations, you have caught up to me now."

Although Teacher Martha felt a bit emotional, she was also sincerely happy for Sister Sister Mengying.

Sister Sister Mengying thanked Teacher Martha and said, "Teacher Martha, this time I want to purchase a large amount of empty magic stones; I wonder if you can provide me with some help."

"Empty magic stones?"

Teacher Martha repeated, probably unable to think of what Sister Sister Mengying needed empty magic stones for.

She didn't pursue it either and said, "Of course you can; there are many empty magic stones in the Magic Academy's warehouse. How many do you want?"

Sister Sister Mengying said, "As many as there are. Teacher, what is the price of empty magic stones?"

Teacher Martha said, "Empty magic stones are ten gold coins each outside, and generally only some magic apprentices buy them for testing. You are a student of the Magic Academy, so how about this: I'll take the responsibility and sell them to you for five gold coins each."

Facing Teacher Martha's goodwill, Sister Sister Mengying did not stand on ceremony and thanked her:

"Then thank you, Teacher Martha. By the way, I also need to buy ten magic bags."

Magic bags, space bags; a small bag can hold many things, and the price is quite expensive.

Teacher Martha said, "The academy also has quite a few magic bags, but one costs a thousand gold coins, and those with larger space inside cost tens of thousands of gold coins. Sister Sister Mengying, do you have that many gold coins?"
