Chapter 136 Valennier's Humility
Not only were the results rejected, but the entire path and direction were also rejected!
At that moment, almost instinctively, he wanted to refute the Thunder Wizard's assertion and reject his pity.
But...but...
He was not an ignorant and stubborn farmer, but a wizard with his own thinking ability.
A wizard who can perform biological modifications and heart transplants without any guidance.
Therefore, he also possesses his own thinking and discernment abilities.
Therefore, although the Thunder Wizard in front of him revealed not much, he could clearly sense that within this limited information there was a self-consistent logic and a complete system.
—Many of the situations he encountered during his experiments, after being categorized, corresponded to the information revealed by the Thunder Wizard.
Therefore, he was well aware that the Thunder Wizard's statement was correct!
A wild wizard like myself, lacking any real experience, truly cannot progress on the path related to 'biology'.
Faced with this utterly despairing reality, all his spirits almost completely dissipated.
He never dreamed things would turn out this way!
His self-perceived talent and experience in conducting experiments were utterly meaningless in the face of the 'accumulated heritage' displayed by the Thunder Wizard!
This means that his existence is completely useless to the Thunder Wizard in front of him!
So, what should we do?
The wizard Valennil was ultimately a wild wizard who had experienced many things—someone who, even when he was still an ordinary person, could set aside the dignity of being a 'duke' and become Tiffany's lover.
Such a person, even if they suffer a great blow, will not succumb to despair, but will quickly recover and find a new way out.
Just like now.
After the helplessness brought on by despair, the wizard Valennir quickly recovered from the feeling of drowning and began to think about his future.
I started thinking about the most important issue at hand.
To stay or to leave!
As a wild wizard born into a duke family, Valennil had been scheming against other nobles before becoming a wizard. His sensitivity and understanding of the situation were only stronger than that of the wizard Ralph, not weaker.
If Ralph could see the situation, he certainly couldn't possibly be blind to it either.
In fact, his understanding of the situation was even clearer than that of the wizard Ralph.
In this wizarding world, apart from merchants, few other people wander from place to place. As such, the spread of information often relies on caravans and merchants.
Caravans and merchants are often blocked by checkpoints and may be forced to detour by bandits and mountain robbers. Generally speaking, a caravan's trade route is usually fixed.
No caravan would easily venture onto a new route; therefore, for a caravan, a new trade route was called "exploration".
The transmission of a message from one place to another relies on the efforts of these merchants, one after another, along one trade route after another.
This is why news spreads very slowly in the world.
In addition, wizards generally live a secluded life and pay little attention to changes in the outside world.
Therefore, although Loon and his group made a great commotion at Fork Ridge, it would actually take a very long time for the news to spread beyond the Kingdom of the Shield, the Kingdom of Ironfire, and reach the ears of the Silver Ash School.
In fact, if it weren't for Loon's immediate action that killed a viscount, the five wizards in the capital of the Shielded Kingdom might still be unaware of the events that had transpired in Forked Ridge.
However, that refers to the normal situation.
The problem now is that Chashanling is located near the sea.
Not only is it located by the sea, but Luo Ang has also built a port directly at the foot of this mountain range. Merchants traveling by sea would stop and rest when passing through this port.
Maritime merchants, like caravans, also relayed messages from one place to another.
Moreover, compared to land-based caravans, maritime merchant fleets that traveled in large ships had wider trade routes and were faster.
In other words, their speed of message transmission is also more efficient and more "leapfrog".
If the changes in Chashanling occurred inland rather than by the sea, the most extreme change would only alarm the local schools of thought, and then the news would be blocked by the schools. No matter how big the commotion was, it would be very limited.
But by sheer coincidence, Luo Ang and his group chose to settle down by the sea and even built a port there.
The caravans that passed through this port naturally carried the changes in Chashanling to extremely distant places—even if the caravan owners knew what was important and wouldn't spread the news of the wizard everywhere, what about the sailors?
Therefore, although the changes in Forked Ridge occurred in the Kingdom of Shields and within the sphere of influence of the Silver Ash School.
In reality, the changes at Chashan Ridge had already crossed the boundaries of the Silver Gray School's influence and spread to the spheres of influence of other schools—there is a high probability that the news has already been known to other schools.
In fact, other schools of thought learned about this even faster than the Silver-Gray School!
This is precisely why the wizard Valennir judged from the beginning that Loon and his group's actions were ultimately intended to trigger a wizarding war.
A mysterious school of wizardry, within the sphere of influence of another school, triggers a cataclysmic event that shakes the very foundations of wizardry, eventually bringing the matter to the attention of other schools as well…
If this isn't a harbinger of the Wizarding War, then what is?
At the edge of Chashan Ridge, Loon listened with a somber face as the wizard Valennil beside him analyzed the situation.
—Between leaving and staying, the wizard Valennir ultimately chose to stay, choosing to embrace this 'opportunity'.
However, the part of the "value" he defined for himself, the value of conducting experiments, has been completely lost.
So he took a risk and chose another way to demonstrate his value.
In front of Loon, expose the "plan" behind Loon and his group—that is, the future wizard war.
Of course, this method of demonstration is also very dangerous, after all, he could very well be killed for seeing through the secret in advance... But similarly, once the demonstration is successful, the benefits he can gain will be extraordinary.
The Wizard Wars were a massive war that swept through the Central Kingdoms, encompassing all the lands.
The combined area of the central kingdoms is unimaginable.
With a war breaking out on such a vast scale, who can coordinate the overall situation?
Nobody!
Therefore, the war in this way is destined to be regional.
The school of thought behind Loen requires many people to be responsible for different areas and finally to summarize the information in order to unify the battlefield.
If the wizard Valenil successfully demonstrates his value and gains the approval of the wizard Thunder, then he has a very high chance of becoming the person in charge of a certain local battlefield.
The benefits of becoming the leader of one of the wars in this wizarding war are immeasurable.
Just think, how much wealth could a wild wizard like him accumulate over decades, even if he occupied a country?
But how much wealth could one gain by defeating a school of wizards in a war?
So, since we've already appeared before the Thunder Wizard, and since we have no better options, let's go all in!
Although his experimental experience was incredibly crude in the eyes of the Thunder Wizard, he was still someone who could conduct experiments!
Ultimately, he is someone who can "gather help".
In addition, there's his own understanding of the situation...
He refused to believe that the Thunder Wizard would refuse him after he had shown a submissive attitude!
And indeed, things turned out exactly as he had predicted.
