Chapter 137 The Overlooked Information, the Rapidly Growing Danger
The quality he displayed truly impressed Loon—at least, the speed at which the shipping convoy spread information was a detail that Loon had completely overlooked.
"There's absolutely no room for compromise." Listening to Valennil's analysis, Loon couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
If at the beginning he thought that the news might not spread beyond the territory of the Silver-Grey School, then after he demonstrated sufficient strength, the Silver-Grey School would be very likely to choose to compromise.
One of the main reasons why Luo Ang did not choose to leave Chashanling immediately is this.
The vast majority of wizards are selfish—even if the unease of the nobles is detrimental to the wizards' "big picture," most wizards will not care about the big picture, but only about the present.
Even those schools of thought are no exception.
Therefore, in Luo Ang's prediction, even if he eventually confronts the Silver Grey School, as long as he demonstrates sufficient strength, the Silver Grey School will definitely calculate the comparison between 'war' and 'peace'... Ultimately, if Luo Ang is willing to offer a way out, the Silver Grey School will choose to cease hostilities and conceal the changes in Forked Ridge, as if the changes in Forked Ridge no longer exist.
As for the interference of other wizarding schools—that's an internal matter for the Silver Ash School. As long as the Silver Ash School keeps quiet and suppresses the matter, what reason do other wizarding schools have to interfere?
As a wizarding school that dominates seven kingdoms, the Silver Ash School certainly has the power to "close its borders."
After the analysis by the wizard Valennil, Loon was certain that there was absolutely no room for reconciliation between himself and the Silver Grey School.
The speed and convenience of information flow brought about by maritime transport have completely eliminated the possibility of the Silver-Gray School blocking information.
Since the Silver Grey School couldn't suppress the news, it naturally couldn't back down in front of Loon—otherwise, in the eyes of other schools, the Silver Grey School's concession to Loon, a 'lone' wild wizard, would be tantamount to admitting their own weakness to all schools.
How could a weak school of thought possibly rule over seven kingdoms and maintain its original interests?
"We're doomed."
"I originally thought that by testing each other, I could put some pressure on the SilverAsh School."
"Judging from Valennil's words, isn't the Silver Grey School going to abandon the process of mutual probing and directly resolve the chaos in Forked Ridge with overwhelming force..."
Thinking about this, Luo Ang couldn't help but feel uneasy.
In a battle between wizards, probing is one thing, but a final battle is quite another.
If it's just a test, then the wizards from the Silver Grey School are nothing more than one or two schools of wizards who bring some wild wizards with them—as long as they can make some connections with those wild wizards who have other ideas, Loon isn't incapable of handling them.
But if it's a final battle, the Silver-Gray School wizards might have to mobilize all their forces.
No matter how arrogant Loon was, he didn't believe he was capable of dealing with a wizarding school that was going all out and attacking with all its might.
Moreover, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light.
"broken."
"We still haven't heard from Kiris. Could she have run into some wizards from the Silver Grey School?" Loon's expression kept changing, and a sense of unease inexplicably arose within him.
Just as he had a self-consistent logic regarding the experimental knowledge that the wizard Valennil had told him, the things that the wizard Valennil had analyzed in front of him also had a self-consistent logic.
The logic was so self-consistent that it was unreasonable for things not to develop in this way.
"But right now, I don't want to have a direct conflict with the Silver-Gray School."
"What do you think we should do?"
After pondering for a long time, Luo Ang finally realized that his wisdom was indeed limited—he couldn't figure out how to break the deadlock under such circumstances.
Or rather, under such circumstances, the best course of action is to abandon everything in this mountain range and leave, find another place to lie low, learn from this experience, and start over. Of course, during this process, the commotion must not be too great.
But as I said before, deep down, Luo Ang was still somewhat unwilling to accept it.
He ultimately decided to give it a try.
Therefore, he chose to ask the wizard Valennir for his opinion.
Since he can see the situation clearly, he should also have some unique insights into how to break the deadlock.
Just as Ralph the Wizard, after seeing this situation, could imagine that there were many more wizards in the world who wanted to "stand in the sunlight," and that the existence of those wizards could be used to delay the situation and eventually achieve a balance.
"Wizard Valennil, I am not ready for a direct conflict with the Silverash School."
"We are not yet prepared for the ripples on Chashan Ridge to turn into a raging torrent."
"I need time now—what do you think I should do to buy that time?" Loen asked.
Although the murderous intent towards the wizard Valenil remained in my heart, and although the wizard Valenil was an absolute 'evil man', even an evil man's wisdom was still worthy of respect.
Of course, this does not mean that Loon has given up the idea of killing the wizard Valennil.
If one had to put it another way, Loon's attitude toward the wizard Valennil before him was more akin to "making use of waste."
"Delaying time, perhaps?" the wizard Valennil pondered—he saw this question as a test from Loen.
If he can pass this test, he can become part of the grand plan; otherwise, if he fails, he will only become a sacrifice for the grand plan.
While the wizard Valennir was pondering how to respond to Loon's test, Loon's thoughts drifted to another place.
What exactly is the power of the Silver-Gray School?
Or rather, what is the true nature of the power of those wizarding schools in this plane?
The existence of wizards is closely related to the mysterious "depths and shallows," but the mystery of this plane is precisely located in the mysterious "shallow sea," a level where shallow water cannot support large fish.
At the wizard level, the limit that this plane can accommodate is a fourth-class wizard apprentice—or rather, a third-class wizard apprentice.
When a wizard reaches the level of a third-class wizard apprentice, they will begin to be suppressed by the plane, and it will be extremely difficult to make progress.
Therefore, wizards from those wizarding schools can directly travel to the Central Continent via teleportation arrays as long as they become third-class wizarding apprentices. In this case, even if there are third-class wizarding apprentices in those wizarding schools, how many third-class wizarding apprentices would there be?
