Joshua's sobriety is the first good thing that has happened recently.
The second good news was announced excitedly by Meng the day before the Star's Darkness Day.
——The ancient map on the mural of the academy has been fully interpreted by comparing it with the current topography of Iluf.
"The destination is in 'The City of God'."
Everyone gathered in Nans' study. Meng looked at the huge map hanging on the wall and pressed his hand on the center of the map: "This is it. The headquarters of the Wizard Association, the 'City of God' where the Thirteen Thrones Council is located."
Ash was deeply impressed by the City of Creation, because the only glorious magic circle in all of Iluf, which represented the highest achievement of inscriptions, was in the City of Creation.
"Are we going there to look for the sleeping Mr. Mercator?" he asked.
Meng glanced at Sigourney and knew what Ash was worried about, but he nodded affirmatively: "Yes." After a pause, he smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry about it. Even if we want to go immediately, we can't go now."
He explained to Ash: "The management of the City of Creation is very strict. The wizards working in the headquarters are trapped in the city and are not allowed to go out all year round. Only the Thirteen Thrones can enter and leave freely. As for the rest of the wizards, unless the association headquarters issues a call, no one is allowed to approach, let alone enter."
Yelena knew this better than Ash. She pulled the hair hanging by her ears in distress and asked, "What should I do?"
The end of the map is the City of Creation, which really poses a big problem for them.
That's not a place they can just barge in at will.
Lan sat on Ash's shoulder. She had just learned about the strict defense and impregnable fortress of the City of Creation not long ago, and she was feeling a little unhappy at the moment.
Full of hope, I finally solved the map, only to find that the destination was inaccessible...
She sighed, feeling helpless.
Sigourney groaned, tilted her head to look at Nance, who was sitting behind the desk, watching their discussion with a smile, and raised her eyebrows: "Hey, old man, what do you say?"
As he spoke, several people's eyes fell on Nance's face.
The old man looked calm and composed, and he seemed to be in a very stable state of mind. He didn't seem anxious or distressed at all, and he seemed to be very confident.
With Sigourney drawing the spotlight to himself, Nance remained calm as usual and slowly gave his opinion: "I think everyone should wait patiently for a few days. Perhaps in a few days, a summons will be sent from the City of Creation for me to attend the meeting?"
Sigourney narrowed her eyes: "What news did you get?"
Nance waved his hand, "There is no news. It's just speculation." His wise light gray eyes turned slightly and looked at Ash forcefully, "It's a good opportunity to tell Ash about this matter as well."
Ash sensed something in Nance's gaze, his heart tightened, and he straightened his back involuntarily.
"It's about Broken River Plains." Nans smiled at him soothingly, kindly and benevolently. "You've been waiting for a long time, right? Now it's finally time to tell you - your village, and your family and friends."
Come suddenly.
It was like a thunderclap exploding in my ears, or like a huge hammer hitting my heart.
Ash stood there in a daze, looking at Nance with a confused expression, then at Sigourney... could he finally know?
In order to hide his identity as being from Broken River Plain, Nans had previously shielded him from all news from Broken River Plain and Duogu Village.
Because once he receives the message from his hometown, an invisible connection will be established.
This connection was enough for other skilled astrologers to trace his origins.
He himself was well aware of this, so he suppressed his thoughts and did not inquire, ask or mention it.
He thought that it would take many, many years before he could hear the name of Duogu Village again. Unexpectedly, today, he was caught off guard and received a huge surprise.
"You can thank Lan." Nans smiled. "Before, I was the only one who couldn't guarantee that your identity would not be discovered. But now that Lan is here, if she and I join forces, no astrologer will be able to discover your origins."
Any astrologer, including the one on the throne next door?
Obviously yes.
His tone was calm, but his words were full of confidence.
Ash believed it without any hesitation. He pursed his lips, suppressed the complicated thoughts surging in his heart, and looked at Nance with red eyes: "Thank you, teacher."
Then he tilted his head slightly and looked at Lan on his shoulder: "Thank you."
Lan raised her hand and touched his soft hair: "You're welcome. You've lent me your shoulder so many times, I have to give you something in return. Think about it carefully, I'm in my current state, and I'm an old antique that has just been unearthed. I don't have much to give you. Fortunately, I can still help with astrology."
The first generation Radiant Throne's teacher, half of Lord Dailan's soul, said this modestly.
"Sigourney and I have been collecting news about Duogu Village. We were hoping to let you know someday so that you wouldn't miss out on every change and surprise in your hometown." Nans glanced at Sigourney mischievously, "Sigourney has compiled and collected all the information..."
He was given a cold look by Sigourney.
He immediately changed the topic: "Hey, Ash, you know I have a headache with paperwork, so I just gave it to Sigourney. You can ask him to look for it, maybe he hasn't lost it yet, and it's just gathered dust in some corner!"
The old man held his forehead and pretended to have a headache, his tone was ups and downs, and his acting was particularly exaggerated.
Sigourney: “…” Does the old man feel that his temper has improved recently, so he is starting to get a little carried away?
Nance smiled at Sigourney ingratiatingly, and said, "See, I didn't expose your little secret, did I?"
Sigourney clenched her fist with a "crack".
"Sigourney." Someone beside her pulled her sleeve.
He turned his head stiffly and met Ash's light-colored eyes, which were as vast and clear as the blue sky. Although the corners of his eyes were still red, they were already filled with a warm smile: "You are so nice."
Isn't it enough to just say thank you at this time?
Sigourney turned her eyes away in disdain, but her pale lips quietly curved into an unnoticeable arc.
In the study, besides Ash and his friends, there were also Ivan and Yelena. They all knew the origin of the Ash Broken River Plain.
After Meng and Lan confirmed that they were on Nans' ship, they signed a contract with Nans for future plans and learned about Ash's identity a few days ago.
Therefore, Nans had no worries and continued, "As for the information about Duogu Village, Ash can ask Sigourney for it later. What I want to talk about now is the recent changes in Broken River Plain."
He said: "The native humans on Broken River Plain have undergone many abnormal changes. It seems that the blood of magical creatures has been mixed in, and then the blood has begun to revert to its ancestral state, and various physical characteristics of magical creatures have been mutated on the human body."
Ash's eyes widened in surprise. Atavism? The bloodline of magical creatures? How could humans have the bloodline of magical creatures?
Even the body has undergone changes?
Could it be that their village is also... ?
Nance looked at Ash and said, "Your friend Aubrey is the first person in Duogu Village to show abnormality. It seems that his abnormality tends to be a lava demon."
Aubrey? Lava demon?
What kind of image is that?
Ash's mind conjured up the image of a sturdy man with flames all over his body and a hideous face. It was hard to fit this image to Aubrey. If Aubrey really became like this, would Shanna still want him?
A boyfriend who you can’t hold hands with or hug, and who will easily start a fire at home and burn all the furniture to ashes?
Shanna will definitely dump him!
He couldn't help but look down at himself. Would he also change?
If you want to change, at least change into a person that Sigourney can accept, right?
Yelena seemed to have imagined some incredible scene and shuddered: "Ash, you are not worried at all?"
Ash was stunned. Worried? He was worried. He was worried about turning into a burning fireball and being rejected by Sigourney.
But he knew what Yelena meant by asking.
He replied seriously: "Don't worry... I think mutation is not a bad thing."
Nance glanced at Ash with appreciation, "That's right. Mutation doesn't cause any harm to the body. On the contrary, the strength of the mutated person is incredibly increased several times. It's more like an advancement...an advancement in life form."
He continued, "The changes in Broken River Plains have gradually attracted the attention of the major thrones. I think it won't be long before the Wizard Association headquarters will convene a meeting in response to this change that subverts our cognition."
Meng suddenly realized: "That's true."
How could the Wizarding Association not take such a big change seriously?
Just wait for now!
I believe that the call from the City of Creation is not far away.
…
After leaving Nance's study, Ash followed Sigourney closely.
Sigourney: "..." He paused, expressionlessly took out a thick stack of information from the space, and placed it on Ash's automatically outstretched arms, "That's all."
Ash's eyes lit up, and he held the half-man-high pile of information with ease, his voice full of joy: "So many?! I like Sigourney the best!"
After saying this, he gave Sigourney a brilliant smile, then couldn't wait to grab the information and dash back to his room.
Sigourney looked at his extremely happy back, put her hand to her lips, and snorted softly through her nose.
I've already said it! Isn't it enough to say thank you at this time?
A little kid who has no idea what modesty and tactfulness mean!
