When Fang Zheng returned to the Mage Tower again, it was already ten days later.

"You always cause me a lot of trouble."

Rex, who was leaning back in his chair bored, saw Fang Zheng and the first thing he said was his own thoughts.

"To be honest, most prophecy mages would try their best to stay away from trouble, but I didn't expect you to seek trouble for yourself. However... well done!"

"So there really is something wrong with this assessment?"

"That's right."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Rex snapped his fingers proudly.

"Do you know what was in that box you brought back?"

Fang Zheng naturally didn't know, so he shook his head, but Rex sneered and gave an unexpected answer.

"Dead Soul Orb!"

“Is this true or false?”

Although Fang Zheng had been prepared and guessed that the thing he brought back must be abnormal, he was still surprised after hearing Rex's answer. The Necromancer Orb is a widely circulated magic tool. In this continent, the appearance of this magic tool is accompanied by countless undead and darkness. To be honest, Fang Zheng didn't expect that he would touch such a good thing just by touching it casually.

However, Fang Zheng would not accept this thing even if he was offered more money. It was rumored that the Necromancer Orb would grant the holder the power to control undead creatures, but would also lure the holder to gradually fall. Fang Zheng said, "I have seen Frostmourne many times. This kind of broken bead should be rolled away as far as possible. Who can bear another Arthas?"

"The entire Order Alliance is in an uproar now. According to preliminary investigations, cultists have infiltrated the Kingdom of Wealth. It is still unknown what they want to do. Judging from the results of the interrogation, the cultists seem to have reached some kind of agreement with the Dark Elves' mistress, and this necromancy bead is part of the deal. Those idiots of Harks were originally going to send this necromancy bead to the Dark Elves... Haha, I didn't expect you to intercept it halfway. Thanks to you for meddling in other people's business, otherwise we would have a headache!"

At this point, Rex snorted coldly.

"We can guess what those fat idiots and the Fire Nation fools are thinking. Humph, do you think you can just blame the cultists for everything? Luckily you found out early, otherwise if anything goes wrong, I will settle the score with them sooner or later!"

Fang Zheng did not understand why Rex was so angry, because from a geographical point of view, the continent of the main world was roughly divided into two parts, of which most of the land on the continent where he was located was the territory of the Holy Kingdom, and the rest was the Magic Kingdom. The Kingdom of Wealth occupied the islands in the south along the coastline with the Kingdom of Fire, and the Kingdom of Fire itself was far away on the other side of the ocean. This meant that no matter what the dark elves wanted to do with the Dead Soul Orb, the first to suffer would definitely be the dwarves and elves on the top of the ice and snow, followed by the Magic Kingdom and the Holy Kingdom. The Kingdom of Wealth and the Kingdom of Fire could just sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the tigers.

Besides, with the strength of the Kingdom of Magic and the Kingdom of Holy Religion, a mere group of dark elves would not be able to do anything to them. But if the dark elves really controlled the undead army to attack the ground, it would at least consume a lot of energy for both sides, which might give the Kingdom of Wealth and the Kingdom of Fire an opportunity to take advantage.

In other words, not only were cultists involved in this matter, but it was also possible that the two countries' officials had tacit approval. Otherwise, the Necromancer Orb was at least a second-rate magical tool, and it was able to cooperate with a forged mission commission without anyone noticing and conceal it from the entire Order Alliance. If mere cultists had this ability, then the kings of several major countries would have been replaced long ago.

But no one expected that a nosy guy like Fang Zheng would appear along the way and directly take away the Orb of Death, causing their plan to fail. Now, apart from putting the blame on the temporary cultists, the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wealth are helpless.

"Originally, you should have been given a four-star title for this assessment, but due to your outstanding performance in the assessment, the White Tower decided to make an exception and give you the title of a five-star mage. Anyway, your strength is almost worthy of this title, so there is no need for us to waste time on it."

As he spoke, Rex took out a wooden box and a gold-rimmed scroll and placed them in front of Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng opened the box and saw a five-pointed star-shaped silver badge inside, and the scroll had a certification from the White Tower.

"From now on, you are a five-star wizard of the White Tower of Heaven. You have the power to build a wizard tower at any designated location, and you can recruit apprentices yourself... I must remind you, don't think that recruiting apprentices is your own business. According to the White Tower regulations, wizards above four stars are eligible to directly recommend their apprentices to study in the White Tower. So in this regard, the White Tower's assessment is quite strict, so you'd better not recruit anyone around you casually, otherwise it will lower the White Tower's evaluation of you. As for the rest... you decide for yourself."

"Okay, thank you, instructor."

"Don't thank me."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Rex smiled and waved his hand.

"I've never had a student as easy as you. To be honest, you're much smarter than my other students. Well... many of them are so stupid that it's unbelievable, but you're pretty smart... That's right."

As he spoke, Rex patted his head as if he remembered something.

"Regarding the matter you asked me before, I have found someone who can help you solve your problem..."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately became interested.

"real?"

"Of course, but he couldn't come in person, so he asked me to bring you something... I put it in your room, go back and take a look."

"Thank you, mentor."

After hearing the news, Fang Zheng couldn't hold back his excitement. He picked up the badge and scroll in his hand, bowed to Rex, and turned to leave. He was a little impatient now. After the battle with the dragon lich in the foggy sea, and the battle with the shadow dragon on the top of the ice and snow, Fang Zheng was now more eager to break through the bottleneck and become a legend. His current strength was enough to fight against the legends, but the quality could not reach this level. This put Fang Zheng in a very embarrassing situation when facing those legends, that is, he couldn't win by himself, but he was a bit at a disadvantage if he didn't rely on himself.

Just like the shadow dragon, if Fang Zheng upgraded to the legendary level, even if he couldn't capture it easily, he could at least suppress it completely, and he wouldn't have to use the dimensional anchor to block its movements before summoning Hecate. To be honest, in Fang Zheng's opinion, using Hecate to deal with the shadow dragon was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, which was a waste of talent.

I wonder what Rex has brought to me this time? From what he said, he seems to have found a very powerful being to help. Although he can't come, but... since my mentor is so confident, it should be no problem.

After returning to his room, Fang Zheng quickly saw what Rex had placed in his room - the reason was simple, because that thing was extremely conspicuous.

"Mirror?"

Looking at the full-length mirror hanging on the wall in front of him, Fang Zheng walked forward with some confusion. However, what made him curious was that the mirror did not reflect his own shadow, but looked foggy, as if it was stained with moisture.

"...I have almost guessed what will happen next."

Looking at the mirror in front of him, Fang Zheng sighed, then he pulled himself together and reached out his hand to place it on the mirror.

Then, thick fog rolled out from the mirror and enveloped Fang Zheng completely.
