I can return to the age of mysterious
Chapter 803 - 803 April 19th Three Great Wizards (4000)

Chapter 803: April 19th, Three Great Wizards (4000) Chapter 803: April 19th, Three Great Wizards (4000) Hong Li Empire, the south, next to the dense rainforest, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Here, nominally the land of the Hong Li Empire, but in reality, it was rarely visited, and the central control had been unprecedentedly lax. The nearest city that could be called such was at least nearly a hundred kilometers from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Beyond that, there were only sporadically a few villages.

The largest of the villages was built right beside the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, or rather, at the mountain foot. The densely packed buildings could almost be termed a small city, except that this settlement had a unique style. The surface of the walls bore various totem patterns, exuding a strong sense of primitiveness.

And next to the village, at a mid-mountain position of a peak.

Above the steep cliffs, there stood an austerely majestic dark golden temple.

The temple was not isolated from the world; a flat and wide winding path stretched all the way down the mountain, as if it was made of a single slab of grey-white rock. There was not a single crack, and it was extremely sturdy. If one looked down from above, they could occasionally spot some wizards in ethnic outfits coming and going along the path.

Inside the temple, in a courtyard closest to the cliff’s edge, at the back entrance. There was a half-human-sized flat stone, next to which stood an ancient tree with gnarled and aged branches, its canopy green and bright.

Under the ancient tree, on the white stone, a gaunt wizard elder sat cross-legged. Facing the distant sea of clouds, he let the high-altitude airflow brush across his face, bringing with it strands of coolness and fog. His seat was less than half a meter from the cliff’s edge, perilously dangerous, yet it conveyed a different kind of mood. In the distance, at the end of the sea of clouds, the dark yellow sun gradually sank.

Whoosh… inhale…

The wizard elder’s chest rose and fell slightly, and beneath the colorful fabric of his clothes shone a faint bright light. On the skin of his neck and arms exposed to the air, the totem tattoos seemed alive, moving like little snakes.

With the power slowly activating, the totems moved even more swiftly.

Odd and hideous heads began to emerge on the surface of the elder’s body, whether they were pythons, two-headed dogs, stone faces, or smiling visages… An eerie and terrifying aura circulated in the air.

“Tap tap tap tap…”

In the courtyard, all of a sudden, footsteps could be heard slowly approaching. It was also a wizard dressed in similar attire, though he appeared much younger. Moreover, his clothes were only yellow and blue, lacking the red of the wizard elder’s. He stepped out of the courtyard, treading ever more lightly.

“Teacher…”

The wizard bowed his head and continued speaking softly.

“Recently, we’ve discovered traces of the Eerie Night Guest in Rain Land County, near the Anta Mountains. They might extend their forces to our area; should I lead some wizards to give them a warning…”

The surroundings fell silent, followed by a pause.

The wizard elder still had his eyes closed, but then he spoke, “Let your junior brother handle that matter, I have another task for you.”

“The Ripple Masters in Bone Ring Forest are our collaborators; they’ve discovered that along the coastal areas, someone has been inquiring about the Everlasting Isles. It seems someone is planning to make a move on them…” The wizard elder paused slightly, then continued, “Lead ten Wild Beast Wizards to assist them, and while you’re at it, bring back the Bone Rings the Ripple Masters promised us last time. Remember, exactly fifty, not one less…”

The middle-aged wizard standing promptly nodded, indicating he understood.

“All right, don’t disturb me any further, you may go.”

The wizard elder waved his hand, intending to dismiss him.

Suddenly, from behind the peak, deep within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, in the direction directly opposite the wizard elder, a thunderous roar echoed, powerful enough to scatter the layered clouds in the sky and reveal the blue beyond.

Suddenly, air currents surged wildly, birds and beasts scattered in flight, seemingly frightened away by that dangerous and terrifying presence. Vaguely, one could see some gigantic exotic species running through the mountain range, causing a commotion like a beast tide!

“Totem King!”

The wizard elder’s eyes snapped open, as if emanating a blazing light. He leaped up, his entire figure suddenly jumping from the cliff, his posture turning slightly as he spread his arms. Black totemic patterns covered his arms, transforming them into bat-like giant wing membranes.

“The King is calling me…”

Overcome with excitement, the elder flapped his wings and soared with his fastest speed toward the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. At the same time, another elder flew out from the temple. Below, in the village, a middle-aged man shot up into the sky like a massive eagle, heading straight into the mountains.

More than an hour passed, and it had gone completely dark, with the moon hanging in the high altitude, casting its cold light over the towering stretch of mountain range.

Due to the recent disturbance, the middle-aged wizard had been waiting next to the large tree on the cliff. Until, in the distance, a black shadow drew steadily closer.

Whoosh!

The shadow traced a semicircular arc in mid-air, landing steadily on the ground of the cliff, lifting currents with flaps of its wings.

“Teacher…”

The middle-aged wizard quickly went to meet him, only to be met not with a wrinkled, aged face, but a young and fierce one. His complexion changed at once, and he instantly tensed for battle, shouting sharply.

“Who are you!!!”

“Hahaha…” The person across laughed heartily, his voice strangely familiar, “Ange, do you not even recognize your own teacher anymore?”
