Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 589: Chapter 587: The Sorcerer’s Heritage

Upon hearing his affirmative reply, the Ice Queen and the King of Ten Thousand Woods exchanged glances and then nodded appreciatively.

“Wise choice.”

“That’s right, if those above are willing to lend substantial support, how could I fail to appreciate it,” said Ivan.

“There’s no need to be so tense, it’s just a timely opportunity,” explained the Ice Queen. “In fact, you are not the only one receiving support, but also Hardy Charosi and Wizard Joyer Somoye, whom you know.”

Ivan was stunned for a moment, realizing that was the situation.

The two mentioned by the other party were both arcane-level Great Sages, while he was just a Great Scholar. Had he not accidentally obtained a throne, such an opportunity would probably not have fallen to him.

Instantly, the pressure on him lessened significantly.

“Candi and Wizard Hotter also strongly recommended you for the position of Great Sage, but we have discussed it and decided that the position of Great Sage is of great significance and cannot proceed without a Supreme Council meeting for the time being,” continued the Ice Queen.

“I thought they were just momentarily enthusiastic; I didn’t expect them to actually propose it.”

Ivan expressed, somewhat embarrassedly, making it seem as though he himself was plotting to seek the position of Great Sage.

“It’s good that you understand.”

“After becoming an Arcane Wizard, I haven’t contributed much to the sorcerer world, certainly less than most, so I dare not harbor such aspirations.”

Seeing that his words did not seem pretentious, the Ice Queen did not pursue this topic further.

In fact, once one becomes a Void King Wizard, whether one is a Great Sage isn’t that important; whether a Great Sage or a Great Scholar, the purpose was set to nurture those with potential underneath, to provide them with conveniences.

The Void King Wizard already possesses the highest authority in the sorcerer world, and does not need any other status to elevate their position.

“Moreover, you need not worry about our sorcerer world’s situation. Frankly speaking, even with the nerve of a tiny Extreme Beast Realm, it wouldn’t dare to launch a major attack on Danaila.

Danaila has never been a pushover, they only dare to erode our sorcerer’s strength in a sneaky manner.”

Being a woman, the Ice Queen was more astute and took extra care to explain, to dispel any worries he might have.

“That–” Ivan found her words reasonable, but still had some doubts.

“You may regard this war as a test, a test for the entire sorcerer world. Either we perish into the annals of history, or we break and then establish anew, that’s all,” said the Ice Queen.

“Arielle, you’ve said too much, it’s time to get to the real business.”

At this point, the King of Ten Thousand Woods interrupted their conversation.

“It’s rare for Candi to say so many good things about a man, how could I not help,” said the Ice Queen, her face usually cold as thousand-year-old ice, revealing a rare smile.

“You are putting personal feelings over public duties,” the King of Ten Thousand Woods glared at her.

“Gena, you didn’t stop it either,” the Ice Queen said indifferently.

Seeing the two Void Kings arguing in front of him, as the concerned party, Ivan quietly detached himself, pretending he didn’t bring his ears along.

A while later, they finally started to handle the serious business.

“Arielle, since you’re so enthusiastic, you take him to the inner sanctum.”

“Sorcerer Ivan, follow me.”

Saying this, the two of them worked together to open a portal, located within the Truth Hall.

Only then did Ivan realize that there was an inner sanctum in the Truth Hall, he quickly followed behind the Ice Queen, both passing through the portal into a secret realm resembling a closed-off miniature world.

In the secret realm, he saw another Peak of Truth, which was about a kilometer high.

Above the Peak of Truth, there was a platform with another Truth Hall on it, looking even more splendid than the one outside.

Outside the hall stood statues of the current four Void King Wizards, massive human figure statues, each over a hundred meters tall guarding around the Truth Hall, overlooking the entire world.

Around the Peak of Truth, there were nine crystal pillars evenly distributed, each a different color.

It looked like a series of sheer mountain peaks.

The crystal pillars were as tall as the Peak of Truth, with a palace atop each pillar. The palaces were identical in style to the Truth Hall, also forged from crystal, and matched in color with the crystal pillars below, yet they were far smaller than the Truth Hall itself.

Further out, there were many sorcerer towers.

The entire world felt exceedingly transparent and wondrous, as if the vast sorcerer world was right underfoot, and one thought could connect with various parts everywhere.

“This pillar of the Court of Truth corresponds to Fire-type power, and it is most suitable for you to use.”

The Ice Queen led him to a red-glowing crystal pillar, then the two flew to the top of the crystal pillar, arriving in front of a crystal palace there.

“This is the Fire Crystal Palace, inside it, you can summon any power.”

As they arrived, the doors of the palace opened automatically, with the Ice Queen walking in first.

Ivan also entered the palace forged of red crystal. The interior had the same structure as the Truth Hall, but it was empty, devoid of anything.

“My Lady, it would not be that I cannot leave without becoming a Void King Wizard, right?”

“How could it be? However, from now on, once you leave the Fire Crystal Palace, it equates to renouncing the support given to you this time.”

“I see, I didn’t have a chance to inform anyone.”

“Your family will be notified on your behalf.”

“That’s good.”

During the conversation, Ivan continuously observed the palace around him, sensing, as the Ice Queen had said, that he could wield many powers here.

Among these, the most distinct was a vast and scorching force, as if linked to a miniature sun.

What surprised him was that there was a significant amount of Favor Power present.

“Do you feel it?” Seeing his unusual expression, the Ice Queen asked with a light smile.

“Yes, yes.” Ivan nodded repeatedly.

“This place is empty. What would you like to place here?”

“Bring a table.”

Following his thought, a solid stone table immediately materialized in the palace.

He perceived clearly that it wasn’t teleporting an object out of thin air, but was crafted from element particles—here, manipulating particles was very convenient and effortless.

“Besides manipulating element particles, you can also utilize the powers of some special treasures here.”

“For you, the most important is probably the Furnace of Ember, which is the mother body of the Melting Forge in the Golden Rock Tower. Within the Furnace of Ember lies an endless supply of Fire-type power, like a high-energy flame world.”

“Next is the Truth Hall itself, its function is to use the Witch’s Favor more effectively.”

“And remember, the amount of Witch’s Favor is limited; you all must use it wisely. There’s no restriction, not until it is exhausted, and we trust that you all have the measure.”

“——”

Through the explanation of the Ice Queen, Ivan understood what this support entailed. It could be said that almost every resource possessed by the sorcerer world had been offered for their use.

He also learned that the sorcerers controlled so many precious artifacts, such as the Truth Hall, Truth Crystal Ball, Peak of Truth, Wise Man’s Monument, Black Soul Tower, Furnace of Ember, Fountain of Wisdom, Thunder Pool, and the Nine-layered Breeze Tower.

These treasures were accumulated generation after generation, all forming the current foundation of the sorcerer world, and were indeed plentiful.

To provide help, these family treasures were brought out, able to wield part of these treasures’ powers, though with specific focuses.

“I won’t say much for gratitude, no amount of words could convey this grace,” Ivan sincerely expressed.

“You are a part of the sorcerer world; there’s no need for thanks. I’ll leave this place to you now.”

The Ice Queen expressed with a smile. Afterwards, she exited the Fire Crystal Palace, leaving Ivan alone inside.

The doors of the Fire Crystal Palace slowly closed.
