Chapter 52 Doubts
"Swish——" Lilia sat up straight at once.

She was sent to serve as one of the three cannon fodders, and it was obvious that she was not particularly valued. Her situation was somewhat similar to Bennett's, she was a third-level wizard apprentice who basically lost the opportunity for promotion, but because she stayed at the third-level wizard apprentice for a long time, her combat power was still good.

However, Lilia does not have any background. All she relies on is a special ice witchcraft that she created herself.

But no matter how powerful a third-level wizard apprentice is, he is still just an apprentice. If there is even the slightest chance of being promoted to a formal wizard, Lilia will not give up.

What's more, although she looks younger, this is just a way for wizards to change their appearance. If we talk about her real age, she is probably the oldest among the three wizard apprentices.

Lucian narrowed his eyes. In fact, he was not particularly interested in the promotion opportunity Bennett mentioned.

After all, these so-called promotion opportunities often hide great dangers and disasters!
For Lucian, what he lacks is not opportunities, but sufficient time.

After all, he was practicing an improved meditation method, and he himself had fourth-class qualifications. According to the description of the Gray Bone Meditation Method·Revised II, he only needed to meditate step by step and solidify the mental runes to be promoted smoothly. The behavior of Bennett and Lilia who were planning to fight to the death was really not very attractive to him.

However, Lucian still showed a look of "surprise" on the surface, but he was very cautious in his heart. He didn't think Bennett would be noble enough to selflessly share such information that could change the fate of a third-level wizard apprentice. He said it now, there must be a deeper plan behind it.

He didn't want to get involved in some uncontrollable risks because of Lillia or Bennett. If Lucian had to choose, he would rather stay alive for a while, secretly become a formal wizard, and then surprise everyone.

But he couldn't act too different at this time, so he showed an interested look. Of course, compared with Lillia, Lucian seemed much calmer.

Bennett looked at Lucian and Lilia, who were obviously attracted by the opportunity to be promoted to official wizards. He smiled and waved his hand. Suddenly, densely packed words appeared in the air, forming an extremely rigorous contract.

Lucian quickly scanned the contents of the contract, and after confirming that there were no contract traps or other problems within it and that it was just a strict confidentiality contract, he readily imprinted his mental mark on it.

Lilia on the other side was faster than him. After the three people left their spiritual imprints on the contract, the contract in the air began to communicate faintly with an existence far away from here under the influence of spiritual power.

hum-

As an inconspicuous space crack appeared, an extremely terrifying aura was projected from the other side of the crack.

Soon, the contract turned into the shape of a vertical eye.

He glanced at Lucian vertically, causing the hairs on Lucian's back to stand up. He felt as if he was facing a high and mighty god.

"The contract is established." With a voice that seemed to come from the depths of the soul, all the strange visions disappeared.

Lucian, however, felt that he was being watched, and had a hunch that if he violated the oath, he would be killed by the owner of that breath. "This strict contract is much stricter than the contract made by the Gray Bone Academy... It is worthy of being the legendary Eye of Justice."

Lucian was a little shocked, but when he saw that Lilia and Bennett were both calm, he suppressed his emotions. Then he looked at Bennett and said, "Now that the contract has been signed, you don't need to worry that we won't abide by the agreement. Can you tell me the information you have obtained?"

"Of course, after all, I don't want to be killed directly by His Majesty the Eye of Justice through the endless time and space through the contract." Bennett smiled and then lowered his voice. "I suspect that there is a secret place related to the fairy clan near Cosai Island, and there may be the legendary fairy paradise."

Fairy Paradise? Lucian was not very clear about the meaning of this word, which was obviously composed of the two words "fairy" and "paradise". Lillia beside him was not much better, and her eyes also showed a thoughtful look.

"During the Wizard Empire, humans, fairies, and even wizards from other intelligent races fought each other for dominance over the wizarding world. The Fairy Paradise was a refuge established by the fairies to leave a way out for their tribe."

Bennett explained, then picked up a book from the bookshelf nearby and opened it to a page. His words were inciteful.

"In the Fairy Paradise, there will naturally be fairy plantations. You should know that compared to humans, fairies are more friendly to nature and can even cultivate many precious magical plants that human wizards cannot cultivate artificially..."

Lucian took the book Bennett handed over and quickly browsed through the records about the Fairy Paradise.

The general situation was similar to what Bennett said, but Lucian felt that Bennett's description of the Fairy Paradise was not very reliable. After all, ruins, secret realms, and even Fairy Paradise were actually very attractive to formal wizards.

It would be fine if the wizard Heli didn't know, but he had been investigating on Kosai Island for so long, and Bennett had obtained some of the information from his family...

Lucian felt a little uneasy.

Obviously, there seemed to be many doubts about Wizard Hurley's "failure". But Bennett was full of confidence and made a vow, so he didn't seem to be deceiving.

Maybe he hid some key information, but what he said to himself and Lilia should be the truth, otherwise he would have violated his oath and been killed directly by the Eye of Justice across endless time and space.

Also, based on the information he obtained from the appraisal results, what was the purpose of that group of half-elves?
The official wizard Hurley, two companions with unknown purposes, and the half-elf who mysteriously appeared on the island of Cosai...

Lucian felt that all the things were intertwined together, forming a huge cloud of doubt that completely enveloped him.

The road ahead is extremely vague, as if one thought can lead to heaven or hell.
