Chapter 889: Chapter 445: The Deeply Regretful Magic Temple_2

Long Dangdang had proceeded into the main hall of the Magic Temple Headquarters. Generally, only magic mentors of 7th Rank or higher could come here to conduct their business, as it was meaningful for them to be here. Naturally, there were dedicated staff members to meet their needs.

The mages who came to the Headquarters usually did a few specific things: exchange cultivation resources, use merit points to exchange for equipment, purchase magic potions, and so on. Most administrative tasks were handled by the Federation, so there were not many here.

Long Dangdang located a staff member responsible for reception at the Magic Temple, "Hello, I need to see the Temple Master."

The staff member hesitated for a moment, but then quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Please wait a moment."

Here, it was not the place for a staff member to question a 7th Rank Great Magic Mentor, saying something like ’the Temple Master is not someone you can just ask to see.’ High-ranking mages wouldn’t say they wanted to see the Temple Master without good reason. The matter was immediately reported to higher authority.

Shortly after, to Long Dangdang’s surprise, the person who came out to meet him from inside the Magic Temple was a familiar face.

Seeing this person, Long Dangdang quickly moved forward a few steps and bowed respectfully, "Mentor."

Yes, the person who came was none other than Wu Di, Consolidator of Deep Darkness Specialty Magic at the Magic Temple.

Seeing his disciple, Wu Di’s aged face filled with smiles, and he clapped him on the shoulder, saying, "Good lad, my estimation of you was already quite high, but you continue to break my expectations time and again. Come on, the Temple Master is waiting for you too." Saying this, he directly took Long Dangdang’s arm and headed inside.

This scene made the staff members of the Magic Temple stare in astonishment. When had this most awe-inspiring Magic Demigod become so approachable? Also, the one with him was his disciple, looking vaguely familiar. Who was that again? However, they could not recall Wu Di ever being so gracious towards any of his disciples!

"Ha-ha, Dangdang, this time you really made your mentor proud. The day when you were assessed, seeing you being acknowledged by the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, those who doubted had such interesting facial expressions!" Wu Di said laughingly, clearly in a good mood.

Long Dangdang gave a bitter smile, "It is understandable for the Sacred Legates to question me, after all, all of my family has fallen into the Wraith Kingdom, and my identity is rather sensitive. It is normal to be suspected."

Wu Di’s smile faded, and he sighed, "It’s rare for you to maintain such an attitude. The situation with your family really is... But don’t think too much about it. If anything bad was going to happen, it would have happened already. All we can do now is avenge them, and if they are still alive, when we invade the Wraith Kingdom, we will certainly do our utmost to rescue them. Life rarely goes as planned; do your best without regrets. Don’t be too sad, try to stay strong."

"Yes." Long Dangdang nodded, his feelings were far from being as simple as just sadness!

Following Wu Di, they walked into the core area of the Magic Temple Headquarters and entered the main hall of the Magic Temple they had visited before.

The Temple Master of the Magic Temple was standing in the center of the hall, facing away from the entrance, his gaze fixated on the wall bearing the strange magic runes symbolizing various elements.

Hearing footsteps, the Temple Master turned around to look at Long Dangdang, his eyes showing a hint of complexity.

"Long Dangdang pays respect to the Temple Master." Long Dangdang stepped forward and bowed.

The Magic Temple Master sighed and said, "It’s too late, still too late! It’s all because I wasn’t decisive enough."

Long Dangdang was startled for a moment, while Wu Di beside him just smirked.

With a complex look in his eyes, the Magic Temple Master watched Long Dangdang and said, "Back when you had just won the Great Impartation Contest, I should have given you the godly vessel right away, no matter the cost. Now, it’s already too late."

By then, Long Dangdang had understood the meaning behind his words—this so-called lateness referred naturally to being late in winning him over. Now that he had activated the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, the Magic Temple had completely lost the chance to wholly draw him into their fold.

"That’s why they say, if you don’t want to sacrifice the child, you can’t trap the wolf. Hesitation only leads to missed opportunities," Wu Di said indifferently, with none of the joy he had shown when he was alone with Long Dangdang earlier.

With a somewhat helpless sigh, the Magic Temple Master said, "There’s nothing that can be done. In this position, I have too many things to consider. Now that things have come to this, there’s nothing more to say. Dangdang, I just hope you will always remember that you belong not only to the Knights Temple but also to our Magic Temple."

Long Dangdang earnestly said, "Please rest assured, Master. Right after I had my talent tested, I received resources and support from the Magic Temple which helped me grow, especially the teachings from my teacher, which enhanced my understanding of the essence of magic. Even when I become a God’s Seal knight, I will still be a mage. Having chosen the path of dual cultivation, I will continue on it."

Hearing his words, the Magic Temple Master showed a faint smile and nodded his head. Wu Di also smiled again.

"All right, I won’t waste words. What type of godly vessel do you want?" the Hall Master said heartily.

Long Dangdang was taken aback—since when did one get to choose a godly vessel?

Scratching his head, he suddenly didn’t know what to ask for.

Wu Di said, "First, tell us about what the Knights Temple gave you. Though they are all godly vessels, some may conflict with each other while others complement each other. This will help us think about what type of godly vessel would suit you best."

Long Dangdang said, "Teacher, Hall Master. As for the godly vessel bestowed by the Knights Temple, it’s somewhat confidential and kept secret within the Knights Temple. But its function is to enhance me comprehensively. It can be considered a kind of all-around supportive godly vessel."

The Heart of Eternity is a secret of the Knights Temple, known only to successive Temple Masters. As Long Dangdang had been acknowledged by the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex and chosen to receive the Heart of Eternity, it essentially confirmed his future status as the next Knights Temple Master. Similarly, Menglu’s receipt of the Archangel’s Scepter confirmed her as the next Master of the Priests Temple.

The Magic Temple Master’s eyes shifted slightly, "The Knights Temple really does have profound heritage! Since you already have a supportive type of godly vessel, I won’t give you another one of that type. You also have a spirit furnace with spatial attributes, so your ability to survive on the battlefield is not a problem. Therefore, I think focusing on offense would be more appropriate."

Wu Di nodded and said, "This time, I think the same as you. Dangdang can control multiple elemental attributes including water, fire, earth, wind, luminosity, and deep darkness, maintaining a balance between them. Under such circumstances, he can use many types of combination magic. And using combination magic to cast Forbidden Spells is much easier than using a single attribute element. Therefore, in choosing a godly vessel for him, we should consider elements condensation and amplification, to allow him to cast Forbidden Spells at a faster rate and even continuously cast various Forbidden Spells."

The Magic Temple Master nodded slightly and said, "Zisang chose the Ice and Fire Sonnet magic staff; her six-element control revolves around the water and fire elements as the core. The Spring Sun Zenith Magic Staff is of a single fire attribute and is under the control of Sacred Legate Shi Xing. Thus, I think there is one godly vessel that would suit Dangdang well."

This time Wu Di did not speak, but his face showed a degree of satisfaction, clearly aware of which godly vessel the Master was referring to.
