BXBX NOVEL Chapter 444 Perhaps...
What could they possibly be talking about? Unable to contain his curiosity, Steven approached the office door again.
"Maximus, I\'m actually quite interested in witchcraft myself. How about making a herbal potion for me?" Moros laughed and responded, "You\'re too old for that now, it\'s too late to start."
"What if I get the young people of our guild to learn witchcraft? Would you be willing to teach them?" "That\'s a great idea. To be honest, in our tribe, we don\'t really call ourselves the Crimson Emissaries Guild. Strictly speaking, we don\'t even have a name."
Garen smiled, "I know you don\'t call yourselves the Crimson Emissaries Guild. I came up with that name back in the day, sorry about that…"
Steven, standing at the door, listening to their conversation, felt his mind couldn\'t keep up. The deep-seated enmity between the Emerald Lion and the Crimson Emissaries Guild was no secret in the Soulmaster world. Though Steven didn\'t want them to fight, their current camaraderie seemed a bit off.
Did he just hear Garen express an interest in learning witchcraft and wanting to lead his guild\'s youth to study it too?
Even if past grievances were forgiven, this sudden improvement in their relationship seemed too good to be true.
As Steven entered, he heard Garen say, "Maximus, this is actually my first time being a teacher in a place like this. I hope for your guidance in the future." Moros, smiling, replied, "Same here, let\'s help each other out."
Well…
Steven was completely baffled.
Little did he know, the two had already had a subtle confrontation just moments before.
Garen had actually intended to test Moros\' strength, or perhaps, he wanted to intimidate Moros. 15:07
So, he drew out Excalibur, the treasured sword of the Emerald Lion Guild. However, before the sword could even reach Moros, it inexplicably snapped in two. Excalibur, a sword of decent quality, proved utterly fragile under Moros\' control of spatial forces and was instantly broken in half. Their millennia-old artifact was thus divided.
Garen\'s swordsmanship indeed encapsulated some essence of William\'s techniques, but he was up against Moros, who could even trouble those at the Absolute Deity level with his near-invincible control of spatial forces. Garen\'s attempt at intimidation backfired spectacularly.
Had Moros not been wary of escalating the situation and afraid that William might annihilate him, it wouldn\'t just be the Excalibur that was broken. Following this, the two began to converse "amicably."
Moros, in fact, had deeper considerations. If ordinary people were to learn their witchcraft, the number of those who could embrace it might not be high. But what if these Soulmasters were to learn their witchcraft? Wouldn\'t that be much more efficient? Hence, their conversation unfolded as it did.
"Guild Leader Garen, Mr. Maximus, how about this? You both can use this office," Steven suggested. "I\'ll arrange another office for the other teachers."
Moros raised an eyebrow and responded, "No need, let them stay in this office too."
"???" Steven looked puzzled at Moros. Wasn\'t it Moros who had just driven everyone out of the office? Why the sudden generosity?
"Guild Leader Garen, what do you think?" Steven still held a basic respect for Garen. After all, Garen was the renowned leader of the Emerald Lion Guild and a Demi-God level powerhouse. Although Steven is now very reliant on William, his relationship with William has not reached a very intimate level, so Steven dares not act recklessly in front of Garen.
Garen had realized who the real power player was in this scenario. He could only look at Steven with a smile and speak gently, "Let\'s do as Maximus suggests, I\'m fine with anything!"
Steven had no idea what exactly had transpired, but since both the big shots had agreed, he had no choice but to go out and convey their decision to the others.
"Everyone, Guild Leader Garen and Mr. Maximus have decided that you will also work in this office from now on. I hope everyone can get along peacefully."
The other Soulmancers sent to teach at the school were mostly intermediate Soulmancers. Now, with the arrival of a tough character like Maximus, and even Garen joining in, how were they supposed to fit in?
Actually, almost no one wanted to work in that office anymore, but since Steven said that Garen and Maximus had asked them to go back in...
Would refusing mean an ugly death?
According to the customs of the Soulmancer world, if a powerful figure like Garen asked them to come in and they refused, they might as well start planning their funeral the next day...
Thus, the group could only return to the office reluctantly.
Moros watched the Soulmancers returning, his eyes slowly narrowing. He had already come up with a bold idea, and now it was time to put it into action.
Turning the idea into reality.
During the era of the gods, their witchcraft was slandered by the deities, even the practice of using herbal baths for newborns to strengthen their bodies was twisted into cannibalism. Now, Maximus was planning to undermine their influence...
William spent the day in his room watching movies and shows, thankfully undisturbed for once.
It wasn\'t until 10 p.m. that he, as usual, bought coffee from a café and headed to the cliff bottom where Alice stayed.
He had been out for a few days, but William still kept his promise, coming to the cliff bottom every night with coffee, even though Alice was immersed in a meditative state, completely unaware of William\'s presence.
As for the coffee, William could only reluctantly drink it himself.
He even added extra sugar and milk, seemingly unconcerned about gaining weight.
Tonight, William came to the cliff bottom again. Alice was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed. As William was looking at her, she suddenly moved. With a sweep of her hand, a ball of red flame intermixed with strands of golden light flew towards William.
William didn\'t move an inch, and the flame stopped right in front of him.
He even reached out and toyed with the flame, analyzing it carefully.
Had the level of Eternal Starfire increased?
No, no, no!
This was no longer just Eternal Starfire.
The fireball thrown by Alice contained an understanding of cosmic truths and even William\'s unique power...
"A perfect fusion of two incredibly strong forces? How is that possible?" William furrowed his brows, looking at Alice in confusion.
He had had many women before, and even someone as powerful as Artemis had not been able to absorb his power in that way.
Over the years, the reason William had no children was simply that his genes were too overpowering. Even the mighty Artemis could not merge with his genes to produce offspring.
But the Eternal Starfire used by Alice was mixed with his power?
The strength of this fireball wasn\'t important to William. What mattered was his realization that if Alice continued to enhance her abilities, reaching a certain level, perhaps...
They could have a child together.
