Chapter 192: Tear of the Sea God

As Lei En previously guessed, the Electric Mouse is a very rare Elemental creature.

Among the dozens of Magic Soul categories, Elemental creatures are one of the few with the smallest numbers; most come from the Elemental plane, and few appear in Ai Lun E Si.

The Thousand-Method Wizards are the profession that studies Elemental creatures most deeply, because their strength mainly derives from the Magic Souls of various Elemental creatures.

Lei En has never yet seen a Thousand-Method Wizard; they are almost as rare as Combat Wizards.

In the mobile library, the information on the Electric Mouse is very brief.

It is a thunder-type Elemental creature that lives in forests and high mountains, gentle and lively by nature, born with the ability to control lightning.

The Electric Mouse has multiple variants; as its power grows, its form also changes.

Their bodies lie between solid and energy, naturally attuned to electricity; even the weakest Electric Mouse moves astonishingly fast, mastering the Electric Flash Teleport element at birth, essentially a racial talent.

These rare Elemental creatures are like mountain spirits; very few have ever seen them.

Juvenile Electric Mice usually possess three to four Elements.

Lei En once again took out the orb; the Electric Mouse inside was clearly not yet adult, yet it had seven Elements, showing its talent among Electric Mice is topmost.

"What a pity."

Lei En sighed inwardly, "If this Electric Mouse were immortal and grew to adulthood, it would surely become a legendary creature."

Such a cute, endearing creature would be perfect as a pet.

He held the orb and studied it, trying to decipher the runes on it.

After fiddling for two or three hours, he finally got a hint; Lei En stopped, looked toward the middle of the study, where a random door opened and Ao Xi Li Ya stepped out.

This time she returned without disguise, revealing her cold, beautiful true appearance.

Lei En looked at the rainbow-scaled dragon transformed into a human, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, and sat behind the desk, awaiting her explanation.

"I'm sorry, I didn't act today."

Ao Xi Li Ya said, "Upon entering the harbor, I sensed a powerful Legendary High-rank Wizard spying on us with magic; if I intervened for you, the opponent might recognize me, exposing your connection with the Master."

"I understand, madam, no need to apologize," Lei En said, a bit angry at the time, but later understood.

What he cared about was the outcome; after risking himself as bait, there should be some gain.

"Madam, have you traced that Wizard's identity?"

Ao Xi Li Ya nodded.

Lei En's spirit lifted, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"Lu Yin*An Selamu," Ao Xi Li Ya whispered a name.

Lei En was stunned; he had heard the name before. Lu Yin*An Selamu is a Legendary High-rank Arcane Master, with a professional rank of eighteen, once a member of the six-person council of Fu Kong Cheng in Weizelan, later voluntarily left the council to focus on magical research.

He is a venerable old Wizard, uninterested in fame or profit, devoting his life to the relentless pursuit of magical knowledge.

Master Lu Yin practices the teachings of the God of Magic, being the goddess's most fervent follower.

Over centuries, his scholarly achievements in magical knowledge were virtually unrivaled, and he gladly shared them, compiling his research into books donated to the Great Library of Weizelan.

Master Lu Yin has authored over a hundred works on magical knowledge, stacked higher than his own height—a true mountain of writings.

Every young Wizard in Weizelan has read Master Lu Yin's books and been deeply influenced.

People's impression of Master Lu Yin is as if he were their own teacher.

His reputation in Fu Kong Cheng is perhaps only second to Holy Soul Wizard Anxiwodasi.

If one claimed Master Lu Yin would be detrimental to Fu Kong Cheng, anyone with even slight knowledge of him would not believe it.

Lei En also doesn't believe it; although he has never met Master Lu Yin, he knows the old Wizard's influence couldn't have been a façade for centuries, could it?

He furrowed his brow, "Could it be a mistake? Someone impersonating Master Lu Yin?"

"I hope it's a mistake too," Ao Xi Li Ya said, confusion in her eyes, "But the Master told me personally; when Master Lu Yin rescued Marquis Ji Liu and Pu Li Xi La, the Master pinpointed his location and tracked him for a face-to-face confrontation."

It turned out the storm priest's name was Pu Li Xi La.

Lei En thought, then quickly asked, "What was the result?"

"Master Lu Yin refused to face the Master, fled with many preparations, and the Master couldn't retain him," Ao Xi Li Ya replied regretfully.

Lei En wore a look of astonishment.

Master Lu Yin is truly remarkable, managing to escape safely from under a Holy Soul Wizard's hand.

Arcane Masters are Wizards specialized in Arcane, whose essence is the application of mysterious energy, which itself originates from space-time.

Arcane Masters above the legendary level, to varying degrees, all wield Arcane concerning space-time.

Master Lu Yin's profound mastery in this area is evident from his works, most of which are studies of Arcane.

Of course, it could also be that Anxiwodasi didn't wish to kill Master Lu Yin, refraining from using true power and letting him go.

However, Master Lu Yin's escape made the matter even more perplexing.

What motivation drove a Legendary High-rank Arcane Master to abandon everything in Fu Kong Cheng?

What relationship does he have with the Mo Du aristocracy?

Lei En scratched his head, pondering for a long time without any clue.

"Madam, what next?" he asked Ao Xi Li Ya, "Master Lu Yin escaped, but he can't take the secrets behind him; the Mo Du aristocracy remains, why doesn't Master Anxiwodasi directly question Marquis Ji Liu, what are they after?"

Ao Xi Li Ya shook her head, "The Master doesn't want to do that."

Lei En felt very helpless.

He had not yet met the Holy Soul Wizard in Mo Du, yet from Ao Xi Li Ya learned that he is a principled high-ranking figure.

Mo Du and Fu Kong Cheng of Weizelan are not subordinate to each other.

From the Empire's legal perspective, Master Anxiwodasi only has jurisdiction over Fu Kong Cheng and its members, with no authority to interfere in Mo Du's affairs.

Whatever the Mo Du aristocracy intends, Master Anxiwodasi cannot control.

Although there is a prophecy that Fu Kong Cheng of Weizelan faces a collapse risk, suspected to involve the Mo Du aristocracy, Master Anxiwodasi believes the prophecy cannot serve as evidence to challenge the Mo Du aristocracy.

With Master Anxiwodasi's power, he could easily seize a Mo Du noble, such as Marquis Ji Liu, and compel an answer with magic.

But they don't want to do that.

One reason is that it might rouse the forces behind the Mo Du aristocracy, and nothing can be forced out.

More importantly, Title: Master Anxi sticks to his own principles.

From Lei En's point of view, a Holy Soul Wizard with great power who can always keep to their own bottom line is indeed worthy of respect and moving.

But sometimes it feels so damn old‑fashioned and pedantic!

Clearly it's a simple matter that a few spells could solve, yet it has to go around in circles and become so troublesome.

They really can't understand.

The room fell into silence, Ao Xiliya's emotions were also unsettled, and the two were speechless.

Lei En had a pounding headache, didn't want to discuss the matter any further, picked up the orb in his hand, and asked, "Madam, do you recognize this thing? How should it be used?"

"You can't use it."

Ao Xiliya was clearly more familiar with the orb and said, "This is a Sea God Orb crafted from the Sea God's Tears, extremely precious, but only a high‑rank priest of the Sea God can use it—it's the exclusive magical item of the Storm Priest. If you want to make use of it, you can only extract the magical soul inside."

"How do you extract it? Do you know a way?" Lei En asked eagerly.

Ao Xiliya nodded slightly, "Of course, I can teach you."
