The next morning, Xiao Chen, wearing a cloak, came to an ordinary house in the morning mist. He knocked on the door and a young man opened it.
He saw that Xiao Chen looked a little embarrassed and at a loss for a moment.
Xiao Chen smiled, saluted and said, "Master Perrin, hello. I came here a little unexpectedly today and did not inform your teacher. However, I heard that Master Ikasa attended a dinner the day before yesterday. I guess he is still here?"
Perrin nodded quickly and said, "Yes. Please come in. Your Excellency Xiao Chen."
More than half a year had passed, and Perrin was still a low-level mage, while Xiao Chen had grown to a level that he could look up to.
Xiao Chen walked into the house under Perrin's guidance, and then waited for Perrin to contact the Spirit Eye Tower through a communication array. After getting permission, he visited the Spirit Eye Tower again through the portal.
The Spirit Eye Tower was still in its own little world. The pure white tower and the light ball on top were exactly the same as when Xiao Chen visited last time.
Xiao Chen followed Master Perrin into the tower and was then teleported to the garden where Master Ikasa was.
Master Ikasa was wearing a robe and playing with his white parrot. When he saw Xiao Chen coming up, he smiled and said, "The fastest growing young man I know is here."
"Welcome, welcome, I told you he is a very capable young man," said the white parrot.
"Okay, go and have fun. Otherwise you will be scared by Xiao Chen again." Master Ikasa said to the white parrot.
The white parrot seemed to remember something. It suddenly trembled, and even lost several feathers. It turned around and flew away, calling as it flew, "Old man, you should take it easy too."
Master Ikasa asked Xiao Chen to sit down, Perrin brought two glasses of juice and then retreated.
"Xiao Chen, let me guess, you must be here for Baron Goya's matter, right?" Master Ikasa asked.
"Yes, Master Ikasa. Suero is a place protected by the Spirit Eye Tower, so I must get your permission before I can take any action. On the other hand, I have no dealings with the Lord of Suero, Marquis Baldini, so I hope to convey our intentions to him through you."
Master Ikasa said, "I understand. I will take care of this matter for you."
Xiao Chen didn't expect Master Ikasa to agree so easily. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Why? Do you think I agreed too quickly?"
"No, I thought you should at least ask a few more questions." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
Master Ikasa also laughed and said, "If I couldn't even foresee these things happening right under my nose, they would have kicked me out of the Tower of the Eye long ago. However, Marquis Baldini, although I can speak for you, it is definitely not okay to leave empty-handed. You need to show some expression."
Xiao Chen took a sip of the juice, which tasted sour and sweet. He didn't know what fruit it was made of. He reviewed the resources at hand in his mind and asked, "I wonder what this Marquis Baldini needs?"
"You have to know that Suero is a territory directly under the king, and Baldini is just the king's sheepdog here. Moreover, he is a latecomer. When he came here to take office two years ago, the interests of Suero had already been divided up. Speaking of which, Marquis Baldini should thank you. If you hadn't turned the slave camp upside down last time, he would have had no chance to get involved in the slave business. The same is true for Baron Goya's current situation.
No matter how much tax Baron Goya pays, it will not go into Baldini's pocket. But if Baron Goya falls, he will naturally be able to get involved."
"I understand." Xiao Chen thought for a moment, "I can give him 20% of the business, and the other 20% to the Spirit Eye Tower."
"It's good that you know what to do." Master Ikasa said with satisfaction, "However, these are all trivial matters. Now there is something more important that I want to talk to you about. It's about the Awakening of God and the Tower of Dreams."
When Xiao Chen heard this, his expression immediately became serious, "You go ahead."
"You have been to the Royal Mage Tower, and you must have learned a lot of secrets in the Spirit Refining Tower. You also know something about the awakening of the God of Nature, right?" Master Ikasa asked.
"That's right." Xiao Chen felt that this was a matter concerning all mages, so he did not hide it and told Ikasa the information he had learned from Gomez's memory, the Elf Queen's narration, and some of the things Glade told him.
"Well, it seems that you know everything you need to know. But I still have something to tell you." Master Ikasa took out the "Wordless Book" from his ring and turned to the last page of the book. Then he put his hands on it and activated the book. A gray light streamed out from the last page like a river and appeared in the air like a ribbon.
"This is the river of the future. The entire river represents what might happen in the next ten years." After Ikasa explained, he said a short sentence to the page, "The awakening of the God of Nature."
The Wordless Book began to shake, and the pages trembled, as if something with great energy was about to rush out of it. A moment later, white dots of light flowed along the gray river of the future. These dots of light flowed from the beginning to the end, and some stopped at a certain place, like buoys floating on the river, floating and sinking there. In some places, when more dots of light gathered, they would become a larger ball of light. In this way, with the movement of countless small dots of light, the river of the future was occupied by balls of light of all sizes.
"These spots of light represent the possibility of the God of Nature awakening. The larger the light ball, the greater the possibility of him awakening at this point in time." Ikasa explained.
Xiao Chen discovered that small balls of light began to appear about one-third of the way there. They became denser and denser as they went further back. By the time they reached the end of the River of the Future, the balls of light were denser than the river itself. "Are you saying that the awakening of the God of Nature is possible in the next two to three years, and that the possibility of awakening in about ten years is close to certainty?"
Master Ikasa said with a heavy expression, "Yes. This means that we don't have much time left, especially the time left for you. Don't think that I am putting all the burden on you, but the fact that the descendants of the Seven Holy Pagodas have appeared at this point in time is itself very telling.
Among the mages above the master level, we have studied many ancient books and legends in the past six months, analyzed many possibilities, and recently, we have reached a consensus that if the God of Nature fully awakens this time, he will completely complete what he has not done before: turn this world into a place of the end of the law.
