Knowing that Freya did not want to dwell on this topic, Saradin paused for a moment before responding.
"I have already investigated the recent attack on the Blue Eagle Nest during your unconsciousness. The other outposts of the academy have also experienced various terrorist attacks from different factions during this time. The wizards from other outposts and I believe that this is a targeted strike against the Elgreen Academy's forces, or perhaps a conspiracy."
"Terrorist attacks?" Freya was taken aback by Saradin's response.
Although she had suspected something similar before, hearing it from Saradin made it hard to believe. After all, Elgreen Academy is one of the top organizations among all wizard factions in the Dias Mountains, known for its militaristic nature.
The academy had always been the one invading other Wizard Organizations, and until now, no organization had dared to provoke the academy. However, given the current signs, this collective attack did not seem coincidental.
After thinking for a moment, she looked at Saradin and gently asked, "What about the losses at the other academy outposts?"
Surprised by Freya's reaction, Saradin hesitated slightly. "Well... five cities' academy outposts have been eliminated, two of which were resource-rich cities..."
"I see..." Freya nodded, her gaze flickering as if lost in thought.
Seeing Freya deep in contemplation, Saradin smiled lightly and reassured her. "Don't worry. Although things may be a bit tricky right now, I have discussed with the other outpost leaders. We plan to temporarily abandon our positions in various cities before making a decision at the academy and form an alliance in Cardi City. In terms of safety, we can match some mid-sized Wizard Organizations."
Listening quietly to Saradin's words, Freya remained silent for a moment. Suddenly, she lifted her head with determination in her eyes. "I would like to request an early return to the academy."
This was a decision she made after careful consideration. Every person who becomes a wizard is not foolish; now that the academy outposts are continuously facing terrorist attacks, it has been confirmed as a deliberate conspiracy that may involve Wizard Organizations on par with Elgreen Academy. The inherent danger is immense.
Even if the wizards from various academy outposts form a temporary alliance, it might not be enough to avoid conflict.
Freya had now reached the peak period of being a Third-Rank Apprentice.
From any perspective, this situation was highly unfavorable for her, which is why she chose to return to the academy early, even if there would be certain dangers along the way.
Saradin looked steadily at Freya with a slight frown, seemingly perplexed by her sudden decision.
"Do you understand what your decision means in this situation? You could be intercepted on your way and even die outside! Although you are nearing a critical period, what is more important than life?"
The somewhat scolding tone made Freya clearly hear the concern behind it. However, she gently shook her head and looked at her calmly.
"You..." Looking into Freya's determined gaze, Saradin momentarily felt dazed as memories of an important figure slowly merged with her thoughts.
She opened her mouth and after a long pause let out a heavy sigh, reluctantly saying: "Alright then, since you have made your decision and surely have your own plans in mind. I will write you an application letter; however, you must meet one of my conditions first. Otherwise, I will not agree."
"What is the request?" Freya frowned slightly upon hearing Saradin's last words.
"The request is... to survive!" Saradin said with a serious expression.
"Survive?" Freya looked at Saradin strangely, somewhat not understanding the meaning of this request.
"Yes, this is my request to you as an Official Wizard, and also a piece of advice." Saradin nodded gently, his tone softening. "No matter what happens, as long as you are alive, there will be infinite possibilities. Even if some people are talented, as long as you outlive them, talent is just a pile of waste."
"…"
Listening to these vague words for a long time, Freya suddenly revealed a faint smile.
"Of course, I can do that without your help."
"Mm." Saradin smiled back and nodded. "So when do you plan to return?"
After thinking for a moment, Freya replied, "In a week. The aftereffects can't be eliminated in a short time, but during this period, I should be able to recover my body."
"That's fine. This is the new base location that I and the others responsible have drafted together. If you encounter any danger on the way, come here and someone will assist you." With that, he handed Freya a brown map.
Receiving the map, Freya nodded and glanced at it, committing the location to memory.
"There won't be any problems; I am confident."
"I hope so." Saradin gently rubbed his head and stood up. "Alright, now you should rest well. I won't disturb you anymore. If you need anything prepared, just tell Bert; he will take care of it for you."
"Mm, I understand." Freya smiled.
"Mm."
Watching Saradin leave the room, Freya put away her smile and revealed a thoughtful expression.
Although the attack had ended, there were still dangers present. While she didn't know why the Wizard Organization suddenly attacked the academy, it didn't prevent her from sensing the subtle crisis within.
She vaguely felt that the wizards at various outposts would definitely enter a prolonged state of retreat together.
This might not affect others much, but for her, it was a real burden.
The promotion of a wizard is not simply about collecting good materials; there is a significant failure rate involved. In severe cases, it can lead to complete obliteration, while in milder cases, it may leave behind serious side effects to varying degrees.
So far, she only knows one piece of information that can increase the chances of promotion: the younger one is, the greater the chances of success.
"By the way, I encountered these issues on my way back. It's just right to handle the things from the Testing Area within this week. Currently, I can only use Plant Magic, and I also need to prepare for some long-distance travel," Freya carefully planned her itinerary.
...
Six hours later.
Dressed in a loose robe, Freya sat upright at the table.
On the table lay a Silver Cross Sword and two Black Daggers.
At this moment, she was seriously engraving something on the Cross Sword with a Silver Knife. Occasionally, green light spots burst out from the knife, drawing thin green lines.
Next to the Cross Sword, both Black Daggers were covered with intricate Spiral Runes, and around the grip of the dagger were clusters of densely packed black eyes. (To be continued)
