Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy Chapter 493

Chapter 493: Chapter 491: The Gem of Truth

“Little Tanaya, this is something the Wind Ancestor himself owns. He can give it to whomever he wants to use, including you. You don't need to belittle yourself. Understand?”

Seeing her face looking as if she had made a significant mistake, Galif offered a gentle word of consolation.

Upon hearing this, Tanaya still felt somewhat uneasy.

“Didn't you want to know if the Life Path could likely help you escape your plight? Now you don't want to know anymore?”

“I do, very much so. Please, go on.”

Tanaya always wanted to know; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to resist seeking out the Wind Ancestor for advice.

“Hehe, that young Sorcerer Ivan was quite right. The Life Path can bring the miracles of life, and once you inherit the power of the Justice Ancestor God, there's a considerable chance you'll break free of your current cage and experience a rebirth like a tender sprout bursting through a hard shell.

Congratulations, little Tanaya! You'll be able to step forward and keep moving ahead.”

Galif revealed this excellent piece of news to her eagerly awaiting eyes and offered his congratulations.

“Really? Not that I doubt you, but I'm just–”

Tanaya was both delighted and afraid, fearful that she was hallucinating, her speech coming out all jumbled.

Clearly, she was never as nonchalant as she appeared to be on the surface, always keeping her frustrations hidden deep down, never showing them to anyone.

“The Wind Ancestor knows it's true; this is the result of the Truth Crystal Ball's prediction.”

Galif flicked his wrist, making the Truth Crystal Ball float away, and then placed his hand on Tanaya's head as a sign of encouragement.

Only then did Tanaya slowly regain her calm from the anxious uncertainty.

“Sorcerer Ivan indeed didn't lie, and thank you for everything you've done for me,” she said after a pause, with heartfelt sincerity.

“Are you thanking me, the Wind Ancestor, or that young Sorcerer Ivan?” Galif teased her.

“Thank you very much, and of course, thank him too,” Tanaya earnestly responded. “He also specifically developed a strange teleportation array called 'Return Tower' and initially planned to contact you in private to take credit for it. We just happened to attend this meeting and followed President Hardy back to Truth City on his airship.”

“I think you just don't trust me as the Wind Ancestor.”

“How could that be? I've already explained. Please don't always bring up the past.”

“Old age, old age–it makes one love to repeat oneself.”

After talking with the Wind Ancestor for a while, Tanaya's mood became exceptionally relaxed.

The Wind Ancestor was still the same Wind Ancestor who loved her. She had just overthought earlier. Indeed, with the Wind Ancestor's myriad responsibilities, it really wasn't suitable to bother him too much.

“Wind Ancestor, I have an unreasonable request, and I don't know if I should speak of it?” Tanaya hesitated to ask.

“You sly thing, let me guess–you're talking about the 'Truth Gemstone,' right?” Galif knew what she was about to say.

“Mhm!” Tanaya admitted at once, then continued, “If that portion of the Truth Gemstone still belongs to me, I'd like to gift it to Sorcerer Ivan, to aid him in becoming an Arcane Wizard.”

“Did you promise him?” Galif looked steadily at her.

“I've never mentioned the Truth Gemstone to him. He probably doesn't know about such a precious item for advancing to arcane, but I've told him more than once that I would do everything in my power to help him become an Arcane Wizard.”

“Do you have feelings for him?”

“Hmm, it's not that kind of fondness, but rather a hope that he will continue down the sorcerer's path, to witness the highest landscape on my behalf,” she said. “I know Sorcerer Ivan possesses such talent.”

Tanaya, although she had not known Ivan for long, saw in him the shadow of her own past.

No, he was even more exceptional than she had been.

She deeply understood that she had lost the potential to become an Arcane Wizard, which meant that her own path as a sorcerer was now broken.

At Sky Flow Valley, as she watched Ivan, confident and free with his talents, a thought gradually took root in her heart.

She could extend her own path through sorcery to Ivan, using all her might to support him to reach the summit of the current witchcraft, even to disrupt the current structure of the sorcerer world.

This was another form of fulfillment she desired in her heart.

The only thing Tanaya had not expected was that after having shown just a hint of this intention, that guy had the audacity to doubt her, suspecting her of setting a trap.

This really infuriated her!

“It seems that there have been some unpleasant incidents between you two.” In the face of Galiver's insight, she couldn't hide anything.

“No, it's just that, on the airship Cloud Shuttle, I–” Tanaya hurriedly explained, not wanting King of the Long Sky to misunderstand the person she entrusted her dreams to.

“Hahaha, that little Sorcerer Ivan is indeed an amusing person, but that's very much in the style of us sorcerers. It's your own fault for not explaining clearly.”

Galiver laughed heartily after hearing her explanation.

“I will make it clear to him after I have met with you,” Tanaya said, biting her silver teeth.

“By the way, tell him that King of the Long Sky has chosen a fiancee for him,” Galiver mentioned casually.

“Me?” Tanaya pointed at herself in shock.

“Aren't you entrusting your Witchcraft way to him? Therefore, you must stay by his side, and I, as Wind Ancestor, do not wish to see you reduced to being his follower. I think the plan you had before was quite good, so let's stick to that.”

“What about the Truth Gemstones?”

“Gifts bestowed by Wind Ancestor are never taken back; they are yours now. You can give them to whoever you wish without any regard for anyone, including those fools from the Fitzgerald family.”

Galiver was clearly aware of why the Fitzgerald family was so eager to secure a marriage partner from the Gardner Family for Tanaya–it was all for the Truth Gemstones he had given.

They were just a bunch of fools who thought they were clever.

“In that case, considering Sorcerer Ivan's personality, he most likely won't refuse, hmm!”

Tanaya was also aware of her family's motives and knew who had leaked the information to them, something she previously disregarded but now saw differently.

“Specified by King of the Long Sky, he wouldn't dare refuse,” Galiver said indifferently.

“You're right, teehee!” Tanaya nodded incessantly, her smile like that of a fox who'd stolen a chicken.

Just you wait and see–you accused me of trapping people, and now I indeed set a trap, and I doubt you could refuse a bag full of Truth Gemstones.

Truth Gemstones were not widely known.

They were created by Level 5 Sorcerers, using rare magic marrow gemstones as raw materials, mixed with other precious ingredients, all tempered in the True Fire Furnace.

This type of gemstone that simulated the Soul Core had significant benefits in aiding the ascent to arcane levels.

For any Level 3 Sorcerer, even a single half of a Truth Gemstone was an extraordinary treasure not to be ignored. Practically no Level 3 Sorcerer could refuse.

Tanaya was certain–Sorcerer Ivan would not refuse, especially with the command from King of the Long Sky.
