Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy Chapter 514

Chapter 514: Chapter 512: The Black Scale Tribe

“Ivan, don't frequently mention that lord's name, as it might be sensed.”

“Understood.”

Seeing that he was about to say something else, Tanaya reminded him from the side. Some Alien Gods possessed that ability, and the situation with the Black Beard Lord was very similar–precautions were necessary.

Ivan followed the advice readily.

“Eck, tell me about your lord's situation, whatever you know.”

In response to his new master's inquiry, old Eck told everything he knew.

One could say that he betrayed his old master completely.

The Black Beard Lord would have never guessed that someone could counter his control, and many things were not kept secret.

However, old Eck's status was merely that of a servant to the Black Beard Lord, so his knowledge wasn't extensive. He described the situation based on things related to the Black God Society and Black God Abyss, which indirectly reflected on the Black Beard Lord.

Listening to his words, Ivan and the others were not hard-pressed to conclude that the Black Beard Lord had sustained serious injuries and had been healing with the help of the Black God Abyss and Black God Society.

The lord was also an exceptionally cautious person, even seemingly 'timid.'

Without a doubt, he was a formidable enemy; the idea of luring him from the other side into the Danaila World felt somewhat like a 'fool's dream.'

“Eck, you can go back now. Contact me if there are other messages.”

“Master, Eck Louis, taking my leave.”

It took quite a while before the interrogation came to an end. Ivan handed old Eck a communication device and sent him away from the airship.

After the interrogation, they had learned everything there was to learn from Eck, who knew no more.

“Ivan, why not silence him?” Watching the figure leap from the airship, Hotter gestured as he spoke.

“If I can't even control him, I should revoke my plans against the Black Beard Lord at once,” Ivan said.

“That makes sense,” Hotter agreed without dwelling on it, then he brought up another question, “You haven't answered my earlier question–does your control method come from the Meditation Method, 'String Control Sacred Heart'?”

“It's partly based on that–why, is there a problem with the String Control Sacred Heart?”

The String Control Sacred Heart was a complete set of Advanced Meditation Methods originating from the Five Leaves Spear. However, this Meditation Method appeared to have serious issues.

Ivan couldn't help but look towards Tanaya; he remembered that the String Control Sacred Heart was also presented by her.

“The String Control Sacred Heart only seems problematic, but it can also be overcome. However, Spark is quite adept in the String Control Sacred Heart. If you rely on it, you might easily fall victim to his machinations.”

Tanaya could clearly hear the concerns of the two men and candidly expressed this.

Hotter nodded lightly.

Ivan was speechless, wondering just how badly Spark had inflicted upon the Five Leaves Spear to make these people so wary of him, yet unable to do anything about it.

At this rate, the Five Leaves Spear was not far from complete dissolution.

Now was not the time to think about this. Ivan put his thoughts about the Five Leaves Spear aside and addressed the concerns of the two.

“No need to worry, the Meditation Method I practice is self-derived; you could say it's new, and more aligned with the Black Beard Lord's Black Beard Chapter. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so fixated on him.”

“That's good.”

“Ivan, since you can control people from the Black God Society, why not control more, ideally all for your use?” Hotter couldn't help but ask again.

“I'm only drawing from String Control Sacred Heart, controlling two living creature puppets is already the limit,” Ivan said.

“That's really too bad,” Hotter said with regret.

“I actually think it's quite good. Compared to the puppet's heart created by the String Control Sacred Heart, your puppet's heart is much more concealed, no wonder you are confident it won't be detected by the Black Beard Lord.” Tanaya commented.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Ivan accepted the praise without hesitation.

“Isn't it a bit exaggerated for you all to deduce the Meditation Method? Especially a rather complete Advanced Meditation Method.” Mara, who had been silent, interjected.

“Indeed, but this is Ivan after all, so it's not that hard to understand. I'm sure Tanaya could easily do the same,” Hotter immediately noted.

While they were talking, Ivan had already ordered the Lanque to return.

The Black Beard Lord was connected to the notorious Crimson Legion, and was a named Legion Commander, a very difficult character to deal with. There would probably be only one chance to strike, so the pursuit of this individual had to be steady and well-planned.

He had enough patience, and didn't mind delaying for another year or half a year.

Over the vast Black God Abyss, the Lanque swiftly flew towards Mengze City, leaving a white trail in the sky.

At the same time, another airship was also hastily en route, unlike the Lanque, this airship was being pursued. It had sustained damage around its hull, which impeded its speed.

It was clear that unless the sorcerer aboard had other means, it was only a matter of time before they were caught.

“Someone is being chased down.”

“How coincidental, from the Black Prison.”

That day on the deck of the Lanque, Ivan and his group spotted the fleeing spindle-shaped airship. The opposing party must have also noticed them and were now approaching, probably to ask for help soon.

“Why did they get involved with the Black Scaled Tribe? Should we lend a hand?”

“We are all sorcerers, and you're also a renowned scholar. It would be inappropriate not to act,” someone suggested.

Ivan didn't want to cause complications, but Hotter's point was valid. Reluctantly, he issued an order for the Lanque to slow down, allowing the spindle-shaped airship to approach.

Soon, before the figures arrived, their voices preceded them. They had recognized the Lanque and also understood the goodwill extended to them.

“May I ask if this is Eck Louis, the great scholar from East Capital?”

“That's correct.”

“We have discovered critical intelligence about the Blood Ancestor Society colluding with the Black Scaled Tribe and have been inadvertently spotted by them. We kindly ask for your assistance to break free from their pursuit, and we would be extremely grateful.”

“No problem, you go first, and we will intervene to stop them for a while.”

Being in the Alien Race's territory, everyone was essentially a public officer under the Supreme Council, and there was a natural trust among them. Seeing that Ivan was willing to help, the people on the opposing airship breathed a sigh of relief.

“This–,” the man hesitated over Ivan's ready promise.

“Stop wasting words; your staying here isn't of much use and makes it easy for others to surround you,” Ivan continued.

In that moment, the distance between the two airships grew closer, and those on the deck could clearly see each other. Seeing his confident demeanor, the people aboard did not demur any further.

Soon, the two ships passed by one another, leaving the Lanque to face the brunt of the Black Scaled Tribe.

This was Ivan's first encounter with the Black Scaled Tribe. They were clearly taller than humans, with most standing between three and four meters tall, their skin blackened, as if stained by the vast expanse of the Black God Abyss.

In fact, the black color of the Black Scaled Tribe's skin was made up of fine, black scales. It was said that they could be both hard and soft, and their true skin was not much different from humans', only visible upon removing the scales.

Incidentally, most of the Alien Races surrounding the sorcerer world were humanoid races, such as the Thunder Race, Black Scaled Tribe, Feathered Race, Multi-eyed Race, and so on.

Compared to these inherently unique Alien Races, humans seemed like a species that had not evolved, always subjected to enslavement and oppression.

It was the rise of the Knights that changed the situation for humans, though they could only huddle on Tidal Island.

It was the rise of the sorcerers that ultimately reversed this situation.
