Chapter 574: The Insider and the Wish Spell

Rod said coldly, "You seem to have something hidden in your words."

"Yes, Mr. Rod, I do have something hidden in my words."

"."

You are quite straightforward.

Seamus said bitterly.

"Because of the existence of something, I cannot even say it plainly. Once I violate the rules, I cannot use any method—writing, recording, speaking, directly or indirectly. That thing will boom—"

"You want to say you have no choice?"

"Of course not. Everything I do is voluntarily applied for."

"Just for that so-called 【Magic Singularity】? But unfortunately, someone has already succeeded in ascending to godhood."

Seamus smiled bitterly.

He shifted his bottom, straightened his back, and tried to lean toward Rod.

But because he was bound by the Shadow Ribbon, he could not complete it smoothly.

"It is true that I am willing to spend my life pursuing the Magic Singularity, but the premise is that I can survive smoothly. What we are doing now is the same: to survive..."

"Mr. Rod, you are an extraordinary figure. Your mark will inevitably be left under the rolling wheels of history."

"Since you can reach a reconciliation with the Hero Candidates, why can't you reconcile with us, Bahadur Magic Academy? We have no fundamental opposition."

Rod was surprised.

He couldn't help but smile and say:

"You even know that I reached a reconciliation with the Hero Candidates?"

Seamus quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. We are not spying on you; we just happen to have an information source within the Hero Candidates' small group."

The 【Lie Detection Spell】 did not show him speaking.

Nor did he use any spell or domain.

As a mage, it is difficult for Seamus to deceive the Lie Detection Spell without using magic.

Everything he said was the truth.

Rod rubbed his chin.

Actually, Seamus had already hinted very clearly.

'A cruel massacre without glory, fear, anger, hatred, or fanaticism.'

And currently.

In the large-scale war between the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom and Aethelorn.

The various emotions generated are crazily providing nourishment to the 【Cruelty-type Cosmic Beings】 in the other dimension.

If everyone on the battlefield becomes like the Hollow Warriors, with empty consciousness.

Naturally, the supply of nourishment will stop.

If it is truly like this.

Then the purpose of this war is self-evident.

—That is, to weaken the emotional projection of intelligent races, especially humans, toward the other dimension by massively reducing the population.

What a damn method of draining the pond to catch the fish.

Not only draining the pond to catch the fish.

But one can also see a trace of contempt and indifference toward the current human era.

It can even be said that they want to directly castrate the possibility of victory in the real dimension.

Bahadur is a magic academy that believes in human supremacy, inherently arrogant.

This is not their style.

That is...

"The Yigo race..."

Seamus said nothing, directly admitting it.

Rod snorted.

"So you want to tell me that you Bahadur are white lotuses? I can see the spiritual creations in your minds anyway."

"Cooperation does not mean approval, Mr. Rod. We scholars all hold a mindset of learning. Besides..."

Seamus showed a flattering smile again. "I sense that you are also connected to the Weave. We are all followers of the Magic Goddess Mystra... there is no need for our relationship to be so bad."

"Please also rest assured that Bahadur's current research direction has completely shifted its focus to the Weave. The incidents at the Koshi Plains and Shi Ying Town will never happen again."

Rod stared at him for a while.

Raised his right hand and pointed it at them.

Seamus immediately broke out in cold sweat. "Mr. Rod, there is no need for this... I am not lying. As long as I can survive, any price can be paid."

Pfft—

As the broad palm opened and closed.

Sharp spiritual energy erupted.

It directly pierced the heads of all the mages except Seamus.

Seamus was startled into a shiver.

Then he saw his classmates beside him with brains and blood flying everywhere, while he himself remained unharmed, laughing so heartily.

He even did a carp leap while still bound, plopped down, and knelt on the ground with his buttocks raised.

Thump, thump, kowtowing.

So skilled it was terrifying.

"I bow and thank you, my lord Rod! Seamus is willing to serve you! I would give my life!"

The loyalty of someone skilled at surrendering is somewhat laughable.

"Quite proficient."

"To report to you, my lord Rod: although I have surrendered to organizations such as the Yige Sect and the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom and been absorbed into their spy cells, let heaven and earth bear witness, I, Seamus, am forever loyal only to Mr. Rod!"

Rod laughed.

It wasn't hard to guess the nature of that schoolmaster Bahadur.

Otherwise, why do you think a spell-form squad from Aethelorn's side has now appeared within the territory of the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom?

"Heh-heh—"

Sparring Seamus was the same as making peace with the Hero Candidate.

This man still had some use for now.

Rod's knowledge of the movements and intelligence regarding either the Yige Sect or Bahadur Magic Academy was infinitely close to zero.

He needed an inside man; he needed intelligence.

Seamus, this person skilled at surrendering, was an excellent choice.

Amidst the laughter,

blue-white soul mist floated out from behind Rod, coalescing into the psionic war-soul of the three-meter-tall Fungal Rot Warrior Gorgon.

An arm like tree roots pointed forward.

A wisp of green psionic energy, carrying an aura of mad despair, instantly drilled into the body of the mage before him.

【Despair Mycelium】.

Seamus froze for a moment.

The relief on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an even more bitter expression, as if he had just eaten shit.

That wisp of psionic energy drilled into his brain, then took root and sprouted like tree roots, spreading and occupying his mind.

Its technique and operation were so superior and complex.

They even surpassed the mental constructs of the Yige Sect.

"Psionic arts from another dimension, and it contains the energy of yet another domain."

He looked at Rod, his eyes filled with fear and panic.

The cold sweat beading at his temples was greater than when facing death.

"My lord Rod, you shouldn't be some cosmic beast disguised as a human, right?"

"If it makes you happy, you can think that; I can't control what you think."

The time spent delaying here was longer than imagined.

By the time the traces here were thoroughly dealt with, night had fallen.

After Seamus presented his tribute to his new master, he departed.

—A 【Starlight Vein Sovereignty Rune】.

Its function was: 'The holder can manipulate the growth direction of an entire Starlight Stone vein.'

Simply put,

if Rod placed it over at Coral Bay, the Starlight Vein on the other side of the Sovereignty Rune could slowly shift over here.

This item was extremely rare; its main material was a 'Vein Mother,' a naturally grown substance produced by the vein itself, which Rod had never even heard of.

Before leaving,

Seamus warned, "As for my teacher, how to put it? A few years ago, she was ambushed by a non-human student. Not only was a large chunk of her memory missing, but her research data and achievements were also stolen. So she is quite extreme and stubborn, and her mind isn't working too well."

"You want to say she will come back for me? Fine, whatever."

Rod was examining the 【Starlight Vein Sovereignty Rune】 in his hand with great interest.

He acted as if he didn't care much.

Seamus's face was bitter; he had to continue warning him:

"But recently, for some reason, her memory seems to have recovered somewhat. Plus, with the entry of Lady Mystra's Weave, she actually managed to figure out a 【Wish Spell】. Please be careful, my lord Rod."

"【Wish Spell】?"

"A spell that makes wishes to the Weave, perhaps equivalent to making a wish to Lady Mystra. Anyway, in my teacher's theory, this belongs to the category of spells with no upper limit."
