Kregi was indeed the head wizard of the Yista School in the frontline war, and he was almost a Fourth Rank Wizard.
“Third Rank Wizard?!”
Seeing Colin’s serious expression and glancing at the extraordinary Zehtti beside him, the countenance of the First Rank Wizard on duty suddenly grew stern. After confirming the authenticity of the School Badge that Colin handed over, he nodded forcefully.
“I will now go inform Lord Kregi. Please wait here for a moment, both of you.”
After saying that, he returned the badge to Colin and exchanged a few words with his remaining companion, before turning and dashing towards the School.
Colin watched his figure disappearing into the distance and slightly relaxed inside.
What followed was simply to inform Wizard Kregi of everything, and his mission would be complete.
‘After I finish all this with Zehtti, she should be returning to Quinte Island. At that time, I can take a ride with her and then rush back to the Siya Continent… I wonder how Atbolde’s injury is doing,’ Colin thought as he gazed at the resplendent night sky overhead.
“Both sirs, please take a seat for a moment. With Chad’s speed, he will return shortly.”
The remaining wizard politely offered, stepping down from his position on the high platform.
“There’s no need,” Zehtti shook her head.
Colin also dismissed the idea of sitting down and waited with Zehtti in place.
‘Everything is not yet over, I can’t relax too soon… At least, if Lord Kregi does not believe later, I will still have to find a way to convince him.’
Seeing that Zehtti had no intention of sitting down, the remaining wizard did not sit back either and chose to stand with them.
‘A Third Rank Wizard… is not to be taken lightly.’
Colin felt somewhat fortunate that he had called upon Zehtti in the end, otherwise, he might still be on the road at this moment.
Even having arrived at Parra Islands, given the strict defenses outside, it was uncertain if they could have gained entry.
‘In this world, power truly is the foundation upon which one stands… Whether it be status or respect, it all comes from this.’
His mind was a whirl of thoughts when, in a blink of an eye, a while had passed.
Anxiety, which Colin thought had almost dissipated, suddenly bubbled up again in his heart.
The gauzy moonlight draped over him like falling snow but did little to soothe the restlessness in his heart.
He couldn’t help but stretch onto his tiptoes to peer into the school through the unlatched main gate, but all he could see was emptiness within his field of vision.
Perhaps influenced by Colin’s emotions, the remaining wizard atop the platform also could not help but look back inside.
Of course, he saw not a single silhouette either.
“Maybe there was some delay, please wait a little longer, both sirs,” he turned around and forced a comforting smile.
However for some reason, Colin felt an inexplicable unease in his heart.
The bright moon had risen to its zenith in the night sky, and the stars nearby grew dim under its brilliant light.
The night sky too seemed to grow darker because of the moon’s dazzling white glow.
“Huh—”
Colin let out a soft breath.
Logically speaking, there was no real need to rush things so desperately — there were not a few wizards who could contact members of the Supreme Council.
It would have been completely possible to understand the situation first, then ask someone for an introduction.
Given Zehtti’s status as a Third Rank Wizard, she would likely have the opportunity to meet with a Supreme Council Member directly very soon.
By then, the entire journey would not be so hasty and awkward…
‘But it would certainly take much more time!’ Colin pursed his lips, “And it’s easy to expose too much information… Who knows among these wizards, if there would be traitors seduced and corrupted by the Divine.”
At that moment, he once again felt the insufficiency of his own status… Or rather, the insufficiency of his power.
Had his status been higher, he wouldn’t have needed to go through so much trouble to convey the message.
Colin sighed. Time had passed once again.
“Anna… The wizards at the frontline, with the help of the Elf Clan, were clearly gaining the upper hand! I heard they are almost ready to reclaim the Southern Seven Islands!”
‘The next step is to reclaim the Southern Seven Islands…’
Ante’s words echoed in his mind suddenly.
The following unease made Colin feel as though there was a guillotine hanging over his head, and he shivered.
He finally could not bear to wait any longer and turned his head to Zehtti, speaking in a deep voice:
“Lord Zehtti, we cannot continue to wait, let’s go inside ourselves!”
“Both sirs?!” The remaining wizard on duty was startled by the words and instinctively wanted to stop Colin and the other.
But the sharp gaze that followed from Zehtti petrified him in place.
The duty-bound wizard stammered, struggling to get words out for a moment, yet he persisted with his final sentence,
“Both sirs, the paths within the camp are complex, please allow me to lead the way for you.”
Rather than let them crash around the School camp, it would be better for him to lead them in.
After all, since the two of them were allowed on Parra Island, they naturally wouldn’t be Divine Believers, and with that wizard’s Third Rank power, he had enough to explain to his superiors…
Whoosh.
Zehtti withdrew her intimidating presence from the duty-bound wizard and nodded slightly.
The duty-bound wizard let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly moved to the front despite his still shaky legs, cursing to himself inwardly:
“Damn it, Chad, how could you take so long for such a short distance?!”
As the idiom goes, speak of the devil, and he shall appear; just as he stepped through the doorway, he bumped into a familiar figure.
“What’s going on?” Chad asked in bewilderment as he saw the three of them; his companion’s somewhat reproachful expression seemed to clue him into something.
‘Such urgency… The Third Rank Wizard as well, it must indeed be very important information,’ Chad’s heart tightened.
Without waiting for an answer, he respectfully turned to Zehtti and said:
“Lord Kregi is not in his study; I searched throughout the camp and finally learned he left for the Council Hall in the island’s center about an hour ago, reportedly attending a meeting.”
After saying that, he paused, then continued:
“But I found Lord Yeats, he’s reading in the study, both sirs please come with me.”
Yeats was also a Third Rank Wizard, and among the Yista School members at the frontline, his status was second only to Kregi.
However, Colin felt little joy.
What resonated in his mind was a word from Chad’s recent statement — “meeting.”
“Hopefully it’s not what I am thinking… that they are conducting a pre-war council meeting.”
Colin’s heart sank slightly.
But then he thought, “If it’s a pre-war council meeting, that at least means there is still time.”
Following Chad, they quickly arrived outside an elegant building.
Through the window, they could faintly glimpse a male Wizard with a somewhat sullen expression, leafing through a black book in his hands.
