Chapter 42: A True Account

Cassius made a light sweeping motion with his right hand in mid-air.

The silver bracelet inlaid with gemstones on her wrist instantly emitted a golden light, illuminating the entire dim stone house.

Luo Mu, who was lying on the other side pretending to be sick, was immediately drawn to the powerful elemental fluctuations.

This was the second time Rom had seen someone use the [Holy Healing] spell.

Unlike Elena, Cassius's Holy Healing spell gave people an incredibly warm feeling, and the profound holy light brought peace to their minds.

Warm golden light slid slowly across Hamelin's chest with her palm. Wherever it touched, the stubborn black abyss toxins that even Rom had no chance against instantly sizzled and dissipated completely, like snow meeting the scorching sun.

"Impressive, as expected of Cassius..." Rom thought to himself in amazement.

A moment later, the golden light gradually subsided.

"alright."

Cassius withdrew his magic and covered Hamelin with the blanket.

"The toxins have been completely eliminated, and you'll be fully recovered in a few days," she said softly.

Clearly, the old man realized that he had been confused by his concern earlier. Now, he didn't know how to face this old friend he had been cursing for over a decade, so he decided to pretend to be asleep to escape reality.

"Such impressive spellcasting proficiency... No wonder you're a third-tier archmage." Jack couldn't help but praise.

"Actually, Teacher has already been promoted to... a fourth-order Archmage, during this time in Red Dragon City," Elena added softly.

"A mage!" Jack's eyes widened in surprise.

In this world, there are not many mages who can break through to the third rank; it is a chasm that is difficult to cross.

From the first to the third tier, no matter how strong their magic power, they are still within the category of "ordinary mages," with the difference being merely a matter of spellcasting skills.

However, once they reach the fourth rank, they will be given the prestigious title of [Archive Master].

This is not merely a symbol of power, but a qualitative change in status.

A fourth-tier archmage is someone who is qualified to be among the elites, professors, or management of the mage guild.

Not only do they receive magic crystals and rare resources from the guild every month without any conditions, but more importantly, they have the privilege of browsing the guild's "Forbidden Library," which allows them access to high-level elemental spells that are strictly sealed and not passed on to outsiders!

This single identity was enough to make him an honored guest of any empire's lord.

"A mage?"

Rom secretly observed Cassius's curvaceous back, outlined by his magnificent white robe, lost in thought.

"No wonder her [Holy Healing] spell was so effective, even somewhat different."

It seems that only by reaching this status can one gain access to more advanced spells.

Cassius tilted her head slightly, noticing the gaze behind her, but she didn't seem to care.

She's more concerned about something else now.

Who exactly cast the Healing Touch spell on Hamerlin?

"Luo Mu, let's not beat around the bush."

Hamelin's injuries were almost fully healed before I arrived. Tell me honestly, who treated him?

When asked this question, Luo Mu realized he hadn't come up with an excuse yet.

He had planned to make up an excuse during a private conversation, but Cassius asked the question directly in front of everyone.

"snort!"

Just then, Hamelin, who was lying in bed pretending to be asleep, suddenly sneered and came to his apprentice's rescue:

"Who else could it be? It's your kind-hearted student, Elena, who took pity on us and secretly gave us a few scrolls of the [Holy Healing] spell!"

"Cassius, your student is not only kind-hearted, but also much more generous than you."

I think she might get closer to the Holy Light than you do in the future!

"Holy Light scroll?"

Upon hearing this, Cassius merely turned his head to glance at Elena, who stood beside him, her face blank with shock.

With just one glance, Cassius knew the old man was talking nonsense.

Are you kidding me? The production cost of scrolls for high-level light magic is extremely high, and she hasn't even studied them.

Therefore, after eliminating all impossible answers, the remaining one, no matter how outrageous, is the only truth.

Cassius slowly turned his head and once again examined Rombe with great interest.

"How is it, Rom?"

Cassius smiled slightly. "I see your injuries have almost healed. Do you have time now? Would you like to come outside and talk to me alone?"

coming.

Rom sat up from Elena's arms, turned around and smiled at her:

"Thank you, that's very heartwarming."

He then walked straight to the door.

Elena's face instantly flushed.

Cassius: "..."

...

Outside the stone house, the wind was still biting cold on the snow.

Romú and Cassius sat on the stone bench by the door.

With no one else present, Cassius looked directly into Rom's eyes and cut to the chase:

"Did you create and ignite that large-scale fire array in Silver Town?"

Although it was a question, the tone was extremely certain.

Before Rom could speak, Cassius immediately offered his analysis:

"You don't need to make excuses to lie to me. Several guards described it to me personally; they saw it built with their own eyes."

Rom: ...

Then why are you even asking?

Cassius looked at Rom with a skeptical gaze and continued:

"There is a similar magic circle in your Blackrock Town, but do you know the origin of this magic circle?"

According to records, thirty years ago, a sixth-tier mage named "Fire-Eyed Kane" passed through this place during his travels. Seeing that the people of Blackrock Town were suffering from the invasion of magical beasts, he took pity on them and spent several days building this large fire array.

Now, the mage named Fire-Eyed Kane is one of the elders of the Imperial Mage Guild.

That grand formation has an extremely high conversion rate. Not to mention Hamelin, even the fire-type mages I knew in Red Dragon City might not be able to complete it successfully.

How exactly did you manage to replicate this ancient formation?

Romé remained calm in the face of Cassius's relentless questioning.

He had long known that the "outsourced project" could not escape the eyes of this legitimate Grand Master.

"As expected, the mage Cassius knows everything."

Rom sighed and said in a low voice:

"Actually, I also had a wonderful encounter. One day, I met an old mage who was radiating a seven-colored divine light. He patiently told me everything about the elements, guided me, and helped me to fully understand them, which awakened my talent."

"That formation was something I copied from the original fire formation's runes, memorizing and recreating it."

"Seven-colored divine light... Old mage?!" Cassius's expression changed.

Where did you meet this person?

Rom took a deep breath and looked up at the horizon.

"In my dreams."

"..."

"But that night, I had a fever, and it felt like I was about to die. Every second felt like torture. When I woke up, I suddenly could sense the presence of elements."

Cassius narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this.

She didn't believe it at all.

This kid is clearly talking nonsense.
