Capítulo 2318: Chapter 2319: The Dark Demon King
“Who are you?” lo’s eyebrows arched, shouting sternly.
Bruiser lay on the ground, stamring for a long ti without saying anything. He didn’t know what to say; he couldn’t possibly admit he ca to secretly see Siber.
Bruiser really wanted to say nothing, but lo’s gaze was truly terrifying. Bruiser had lived in White Goose Town for many years and had seen its dark side, yet he had never felt such imnse pressure from anyone’s eyes before.
His scalp felt numb under the stare; he knew he couldn’t say nothing.
At this mont, Bruiser glanced unintentionally at his bandaged right hand: “I, I’m called Omolia, the Demon King sealed with dark powers, walking among mortals.”
Bruiser didn’t know what happened, his mind didn’t even process, and the lines from “The Dark Demon King” just slipped out.
After speaking, Bruiser himself felt a bit ashad, a faint and barely detectable red appeared on his slightly dirty cheek.
“Huh???” lo looked strangely at Bruiser, what kind of answer was that? A Demon King walking among mortals? Could this guy be an idiot?
While lo was questioning life, Siber standing at the side slightly raised an eyebrow.
As Siber’s etiquette teacher, lo noticed Siber’s expression managent, and she whispered, “Do you know this little punk?”
Literal “little punk”.
Siber neither nodded nor shook her head, instead softly said, “An insignificant and trivial hooligan. Compared to him, I’m more curious about how Lady lo just brought him in through the window? I seed to see him getting grabbed inside by an illusory hand?”
Siber appeared curious, but lo knew Siber well enough to clearly see that Siber was actually diverting the topic.
Furthermore, her previous assessnt was: insignificant and trivial… on the surface, it seed like she was belittling the self-proclaid ‘Omolia’ Demon King, but the deeper aning was that Siber didn’t wish for him to be punished because he was insignificant and trivial.
lo saw through Siber’s little sche but didn’t expose it; instead, she secretly speculated, perhaps Siber knew this ‘Omolia’? Since Siber didn’t want her to punish ‘Omolia’, she decided to let him off for now.
Moreover, lo’s ti in White Goose Town was limited, and she couldn’t be bothered wasting it on a little punk.
Thinking of this, lo directly perford a Binding Spell, summoning a blue rope that tied Bruiser up tightly and tossed him into the corner of the room.
Siber didn’t say anything about this, but there was surprise in her eyes regarding the rope that appeared out of nowhere.
Bruiser looked at the rope with a gaze full of wonder, now he seed to understand how he was brought in through the window… As a fake Demon King, he seed to have encountered a real ‘Demon King’ walking among mortals.
With this thought, Bruiser felt a chill in his heart; could he escape from a Demon King that wielded such an extraordinary power?
While Bruiser’s mind filled with endless wailing, lo turned to Siber and said, “You’re very curious about my thods?”
As lo spoke, she gently conjured a light sphere at her fingertips, appearing extraordinarily wondrous. In fact, it was just a trivial level-0 Trick Light Spell.
“Yes, what is this, Lady lo? Is it the legendary extraordinary power?” Siber tilted her head, examining the light sphere repeatedly, unable to understand where it ca from.
“Extraordinary power? Sort of, to be precise, it’s a Wizard’s technique, called a Spell Technique.” lo didn’t want to waste ti explaining the difference between a trick and a spell technique, so she lumped them together.
“Is Lady lo a Wizard?” Siber asked.
“To be precise, I’m a Wizard Apprentice.” lo: “In order to perform such spell techniques, you first need to beco a Wizard Apprentice.”
Because of the ti constraint, lo skipped the trivial details, simply unveiling a small part of the mysterious veil of the Wizard World to Siber.
Even though it was just this small part, it made lo yearn for it.
When she’d explained enough, lo posed the main purpose of her visit: “Do you wish to beco a Wizard Apprentice?”
“I do.” Siber nodded without hesitation.
Seeing Siber’s eager response, lo smiled slightly. The reason she was willing to travel such a long distance to find Siber was that she understood her. This was a girl who seed ladylike on the outside but was incredibly strong on the inside.
From when she taught Siber etiquette lessons on the Narrow Horse Main Island, lo could tell Siber was a person with independent thinking, filled with curiosity about knowledge and the unknown.
Completely different from the mainstream trend of won at present.
Such a person might not fit in among mortals, but if she entered the Wizard World and beca a truly independent and strong witch, the prospects would be very broad.
“Becoming a Wizard Apprentice isn’t sothing you can just want and beco, you also need a test to see if you have the ticket to enter the Wizard World.”
Siber naturally wouldn’t refuse and accepted the test.
lo imdiately started clearing out all kinds of miscellaneous furniture from the room, arranging various facilities for talent detection.
While lo was setting up the room, Bruiser, who was thrown into the corner, fell into deep thought. lo and Siber didn’t avoid him while describing the overview of the Wizard World because it wasn’t a secret ant to be kept.
Having listened to it all, Bruiser’s reaction was the sa as Siber’s; he too yearned for the brilliant Wizard World.
The Dark Demon King should not be confined to the shallow waters; the Wizard World was his destiny!
What’s more, it seed Siber was also inclined to enter the Wizard World.
However, although Bruiser longed for it, he neither had a way nor dared to express it, being a prisoner at the mont.
anwhile, because lo was well-prepared, she soon finished setting up all the tools.
“This is called the Eye of Eblas, also known as the Talent Orb, used to test if you have the talent to beco a Wizard. When you touch it with your hand soon, pay attention to any changes around you.”
“By changes, I an unusual phenona…”
lo explained the general situation of the talent test and ensured Siber understood before starting the test.
Siber was very curious about the extraordinary world, and lo was also filled with curiosity about Siber. She really wanted to know if her intuition was accurate.
Is Siber really a Talented One?
The answer was revealed in a matter of seconds.
When Siber’s hand touched the Talent Orb, the orb emitted a bright light, filling the entire room instantly.
Siber herself couldn’t see these phenona, but lo, as well as Bruiser who was secretly observing from a distance, witnessed the scene.
“What is happening, why is there such a bright light, is that a coal lamp?” Bruiser murmured softly, seemingly confused by the question, but what he was actually asking in his heart was sothing else.
Does Siber have talent?
lo glanced at Bruiser and easily saw through his thoughts. She thought Bruiser knew Siber, so she didn’t mind telling him directly: “What coal lamp, this is the Talent Orb. When it glows, it ans Siber definitely has Extraordinary Talent. We just don’t know what her specific talent is.”
“Siber truly has talent? Then, will she be leaving White Goose Town?”
lo: “Naturally.”
No matter what Siber’s final decision might be, the fact that she has talent was already certain. To avoid wasting Siber’s talent, even if lo couldn’t successfully guide her into the Barbarian Cave, when leaving White Goose Town, she would inform the Wizards at the White Coral Floating Island Academy about Siber’s talent.
So, in the end, Siber would inevitably leave White Goose Town.
Bruiser heard this answer, and a hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes. In the future, would he not see Siber anymore?
He recalled in “The Dark Demon King,” the farewell between the young Demon King and a girl from a small town, where the narrator said: They thought they would et again in the future, holding onto the hope of reunion. However, they did not know that this farewell would be their last eting.
The life of mortals is like a reverse journey, ti swift and fleeting. When the young Demon King returns to the town, he remains young, but the girl from the town has already been buried in the tomb.
This is the most regrettable part of “The Dark Demon King” for Bruiser. And at this mont, such a scene seed to be projected from the book into reality.
Siber was about to embark on the path of transcendence, while the young boy from the town, Bruiser, could only watch her leave with longing eyes.
Siber did not know Bruiser. When she returns to White Goose Town a hundred years later, she might not even pay attention to his grave.
This is even more tragic than the novel.
While Bruiser was imrsed in his thoughts, Siber had already returned to her senses from the talent test on the other side.
lo asked Siber about the scenes she saw in the talent test, and after a mont of contemplation, Siber said, “I was originally sitting on a chair, but strangely, what my eyes saw was not the scene in the room, but a vast land. There was a blue sky, towering giant trees, galloping elephants, and I myself transford into a majestic eagle, soaring in the azure skies…”
After listening to Siber’s description, lo imdiately began searching her mind for the various types ntioned in the “Abilas Talent Collection Yearbook.”
“Based on your description, we’ve ruled out the Elental Side. Given that you turned into an eagle, you could possibly belong to the Bloodline Side; there’s also a greater possibility that you’re from the Mysterious Side’s Summoning System, seeing the spirit beasts of the Otherworld; or you might be from the Illusion Series, where everything before your eyes is an illusion.”
“To determine exactly which one, we’ll have to conduct a detailed test later on.”
Siber recovered from the trance of the previous talent test and curiously asked, “So, does this an I’ve passed the test?”
“Of course,” lo said with a smile, “Congratulations, you are a Talented One now.”
Next ca Siber’s choice.
Should she leave with lo, or remain reluctant to leave Whitesand Manor, staying in White Goose Town?
Siber chose to leave without hesitation, to follow lo to the Barbarian Cave. Ever since both her parents passed, the only thing that kept her in the family was her second brother. But now, even her second brother was not at Whitesand Manor, sent to the Fimast Main Island by their eldest brother who feared him. Though her eldest brother treated Siber well, she disliked the oppressive and competitive family environnt.
Rather than stay here, it was better to leave with lo, to seek her own future.
lo nodded approvingly, “Then pack your luggage, and we’ll leave right now.”
Just as Siber was about to pack her luggage, Bruiser suddenly spoke: “Can I also take the talent test? I also want…” I also want to leave here with Siber.
Although Bruiser was asking lo, his gaze uncontrollably drifted to Siber, filled with sorrow.
Regarding Bruiser’s sudden request, lo was indifferent, because the task this ti was to guide, to find Talented Ones. Testing one more or one fewer person didn’t matter, but since this person was related to Siber, it was best to see what Siber wanted to do.
lo looked at Siber, “What do you think?”
Siber knew that Lady lo probably misunderstood, thinking she knew Bruiser. In fact, she didn’t know who Bruiser was at all… Initially, the reason she diverted Lady lo’s attention and helped Bruiser was simply because of Bruiser’s overly dramatic and embarrassing self-introduction.
Siber had read the book “The Dark Demon King.” Before this, she even believed she might be the only one in the entire Sidamaya Islands who had read it, as she bought the sole copy from a rchant from afar while living on the Fimast Main Island.
That rchant assured Siber that the entire Sidamaya Islands didn’t have this book.
The people on the Fimast Main Island hadn’t read it, let alone anyone from this small White Goose Town.
Therefore, the only possibility for Bruiser knowing the story from “The Dark Demon King” was that he picked up Siber’s discarded copy of the book.
Yes, Siber didn’t like the story of “The Dark Demon King,” and even the scribbled note inside—”What rubbish, not even kids would read this, boring”—was written by Siber herself.
Because she didn’t like it, after reading, Siber casually disposed of this aningless novel.
Unexpectedly, Bruiser picked it up and read it.
Perhaps it was because of this peculiar destiny that Siber had inexplicably spoken a few words for Bruiser before, which led to Lady lo’s misunderstanding.
Since Lady lo was waiting for her decision, Siber thought for a mont and said, “Let’s leave it to Lady lo to decide.”
Siber thought that with the words she had spoken earlier in help for Bruiser, it was enough. Now there was no need to assist further; let Lady lo “judge” and make the decision instead.
But what Siber didn’t expect was that lo didn’t care whether or not to test Bruiser.
Since Siber had transferred the decision to herself, lo responded accordingly, “Alright, since we haven’t packed the talent sphere and tools yet, oh… Omolia, co over for the test.”
lo promptly retracted the Binding Spell, allowing Bruiser to regain his freedom.
A glimr of joy flashed in Bruiser’s eyes as he bowed respectfully to Siber and lo, saying, “If Omolia is a bit of a mouthful, you can call Bruiser.”
Siber chuckled inwardly, thinking, “What do you an Omolia is a mouthful, Omolia is the na of the protagonist in ‘The Dark Demon King.’ Your real na is obviously Bruiser, isn’t it?”
Siber didn’t expose Bruiser’s lie but instead teased, “Since you want us to call you Bruiser, then what is Omolia?”
“Omolia, Omolia… yes, that’s my father’s surna, which I’ve inherited, but I don’t like it. I still prefer to call myself Bruiser.” Bruiser’s eyes rolled craftily, and he lied effortlessly.
“Is that so?” Siber smirked coldly.
“Yes, yes, just call Bruiser.”
lo didn’t have ti for the banter between Siber and Bruiser and was uninterested in what the na was, since she didn’t expect Bruiser to possess talent anyway: “Don’t waste ti; if you want to be tested, co for the test quickly.”
Bruiser stood up and nodded, “Alright, alright, I’m coming now.”
Bruiser imitated how Siber had done it before, sitting in front of the talent sphere.
“You’ve heard what I told Siber before, so go ahead and touch the talent sphere,” lo urged Bruiser to go ahead.
Bruiser dared not delay, and quickly extended his right hand, but upon seeing his right hand wrapped in bandages, thought for a mont and switched to his left hand.
“The right hand is sealed with dark power, so better use the left hand.” Bruiser mumbled to himself.
lo rolled her eyes in exasperation, already beyond the point of contradicting him.
Siber, associating it with “The Dark Demon King” plot, covered her mouth and softly chuckled.
The lodramatic Bruiser touched the talent sphere with his left hand.
lo was well aware of how rare Talented Ones were, and she had never expected Bruiser to be one. However, the reality was—
The talent sphere lit up.
An orange-red light, like burning flas, illuminated the small room brightly.
