Director Morrison looked at the Scorpion Woman Ring in Locke's hand. He smiled and said, "This is sothing from a bloodline essence master, right? I can tell at a glance that it has bloodline power inside that can suppress prophecy magic, but it's too crude. If you encounter so formidable prophets, it completely can't solve the problem."
Director Morrison looked at Locke's left hand. "That Destined Death is still hidden in your left hand. Unfortunately, I'm not skilled at this type of magic. Divination School magic is too intricate and connected to your source."
"So I also can't casually help you remove it."
Locke bowed to Director Morrison. "Thank you for the reminder, Director. This magic should be related to the Land of Six Towers."
Director Morrison nodded thoughtfully.
anwhile, Edgar and Diana looked at Locke's left hand.
...
After several people returned to the surface, Locke reunited with the wizards from his research group in Kalimra Town. Everyone was very excited.
Although the competition committee hadn't announced the results yet and wanted them to stay in the town for two days before awarding dals in the central park of the frontier town two days later, anyone with eyes knew that Locke had won the championship.
Locke and Montgory, Tacitus, and several others hugged each other, excitedly celebrating. Locke even allowed the students and wizards in his research group to drink and make rry in the frontier town, completely relaxing.
Of the other research groups, except for the tenth place, sixth place, and Yennefer's three groups who chose to leave directly, the remaining seven participating teams also wanted to get a result, so they agreed to stay here for two days to wait for the award ceremony.
Yennefer choosing to leave was very normal. Although after she regained consciousness, she used the excuse that her Mushroom King's mycelium attack was a group attack to barely gloss over her reason for attacking Locke's Sureyas army with her mycelium, everyone knew what had really happened.
They just hadn't caught any substantial evidence against her, and the Cloud Marsh Cup Competition Committee didn't want to make a big deal of this matter, so they let her go. But she had already been blacklisted by the competition committee, banned from participating in the Cloud Marsh Cup and a series of related Cloud Marsh Wetland competitions.
In the future, it would probably be very difficult for her to participate in competitions on the Cloud Marsh Wetland side.
After all, her behavior of attacking contestants on the competition field had really violated a major taboo. It was only because nothing serious happened that no one ca to trouble her.
At that ti, she was clearly so desperate to win that she acted recklessly, doing things without thinking of the consequences.
As for the tenth and sixth place not participating in the award ceremony, that was also simple. This competition made them feel too stifled, so they completely didn't want to participate in the award ceremony.
The other seven research groups took advantage of these two days to properly relax. After all, they had been preparing continuously for a whole year for the Cloud Marsh Cup competition. Throughout the past year, their spirits had been extrely tense.
Now, regardless of victory or defeat, there was already a result.
Everyone relaxed.
Locke declined going with Montgory and the others to drink and make rry at the Witch's Kitchen in the frontier town. The Witch's Kitchen, this chain store with massive scale, actually had branches in various places. Its headquarters was right here in Cloud Marsh Wetland within the Three Marsh Lands.
The full na of Witch's Kitchen was actually the Seasoning Master's Kitchen Alliance.
It was a large comrcial group established by seasoning masters.
Witch Barbara watched as Locke took a True Sight Orb and returned to his room, imdiately shrugging in confusion. "We clearly won the championship. Why won't the boss even go to the Witch's Kitchen once to drink wizard liquor?"
"The competition just ended, but he seems to have started researching sothing new."
Montgory smiled. "That's what makes him our boss."
"Forget it, let's go celebrate."
"By the way, several participating teams are all going to the Witch's Kitchen. We can celebrate together. However, Wizard Edgar and Witch Diana aren't going..."
Wizard Tacitus also nodded as if he had anticipated this. "Right, I heard Wizard Edgar is researching a new magical plant. He also added our boss as a friend on the Azure Mist Silk System. The two often communicate with each other using ganoderma magical plants, discussing together. Wizard Edgar wants to continue competing with our boss in magical plants."
"As for Witch Diana, she's hiding in her room all day, reviewing the previous competition scenes every day, analyzing why she failed."
Witch Barbara felt a bit numb. She showed a deliberately frightened expression. "These three people are too serious."
Witch Barbara smiled. "Maybe this is genius."
"However, I'm different. Being able to obtain this kind of competition result, if I want to leave the Land of Six Towers in the future, submitting resus will definitely be much easier. Moreover, my relationship with the boss is now very good. That guy Eric probably won't dare prevent from leaving the Land of Six Towers."
"I'll soon be able to find a teaching position outside the Land of Six Towers."
"What about you all?"
Montgory said, "I'm also preparing to use my status as a mber of the Cloud Marsh Cup championship team to submit resus to wizard lands. Being able to work with the boss is the luckiest thing in my life. I also want to keep following him, but I feel like he'll definitely go to a high-level Origin Academy of True Knowledge next, or sowhere even better. I can't keep up with him."
"So I also want to submit resus. The place I want to go is Rain Marsh Swampland."
Tacitus smiled. "I think staying in the Land of Six Towers is actually quite good. The situation has changed now. Miss Alicia needs excellent commoner wizards like us. If I stay in the Land of Six Towers, perhaps my developnt will be even better."
"The wizard lands outside are too unfamiliar. If I go there, I may not avoid encountering new problems, perhaps even more difficult than now."
Leopold thought for a mont and said, "Well, teachers, I also want to be like Teacher Tacitus and stay in the Land of Six Towers to help Lady Alicia."
Locke stood on the third floor of the villa, watching the wizards in his research group and those students walk toward the Witch's Kitchen with smiles and laughter. He drew the curtains. "Looks like everyone has their own places they want to go."
"Being able to work together with this research group, I actually also felt quite good."
Locke thought, "It's just that there's no banquet in the world that doesn't end. After the Cloud Marsh Cup, everyone in this research group will go their separate ways."
Locke placed his attention on the True Sight Orb in his hand. This crystal contained the entire process of Grand Wizard Sulla's advancent to Second Circle wizard.
And he indeed really wanted to understand what exactly had happened in the Mage Plane.
