Chapter 335:
"Krus?" Freya recalled slightly, and it seemed that this name was not among the more famous figures in Stellar Tower.
He appeared to be just an ordinary member of Stellar Tower.
However, Freya was somewhat surprised by the Old Wizard's subsequent remark.
Hell Guardian, something one could only encounter in hell, and combined with the Hellish Aura emanating from the Old Wizard, Freya could vaguely guess something.
She paused for a moment and then continued.
"I am not clear about your Hell Guardian, but I did encounter a strange creature in a ruin, which has tainted me with its aura, and I also obtained something from it."
"Encountering a Hell Guardian in a ruin, could it have accidentally wandered over from hell?" Hearing Freya's fabricated story, the wizard named Krus frowned.
Then he spoke with a somewhat serious tone.
"Then, Lady Freya, if you encountered it in a specific ruin, could you tell me which one? Every Hell Guardian possesses strong contaminating abilities. If it were to cause any disturbances, it would pose a significant threat to our Native Creatures in the Wizarding World, and the severity of the situation could affect ordinary people's lives."
"Is that so?" Seeing Krus's serious expression, Freya thought for a moment. "I can't tell you the location, but you need not worry; that creature has already been eliminated by me at some cost. It is unlikely to endanger our world."
"Hmm? Eliminated?" Seemingly caught off guard by Freya's implication, Krus looked at her with some disbelief.
It should be noted that in today's research on Hell Creatures, most Hell Creatures have strong counteracting abilities against wizards below Dawn. Escaping could even be considered fortunate, let alone eliminating one.
"That's right." Freya nodded. "A friend of mine gave me a disposable Cursed Item made by a Dawn Wizard, equivalent to a single strike from a Dawn Wizard. I used that to kill it."
"Oh, no wonder." Krus's expression relaxed slightly.
However, Freya revealed a smile and pointed to the chair beside her.
"By the way, Lord Krus. It seems you have a thorough understanding of Hell World research; let's discuss it together. Lord Jann is currently appraising something for me. It looks like he won't be coming out of the laboratory anytime soon."
"Is that so? That's fine, anyway, there's nothing much to do."
...
For the wizards of Cloud City, although they possess great power compared to ordinary people, their mindset is still primarily focused on human progress and the pursuit of truth.
Most Wizard Organizations have clauses that prevent harm to ordinary people. If any actions threaten ordinary individuals, there will be severe punishments, as ordinary humans are the foundation for most wizards, and protection is paramount.
This is also the biggest difference from Dark Wizards.
As for Freya's counterpart, Krus, although he wore a black robe, his overall worldview still leaned towards that of a White Wizard. Through their conversation, Freya discovered that he was quite an agreeable person. Or perhaps, most wizards in Cloud City are generally easy to talk to.
They excel at communicating valuable experiences from experiments and seek paths for progress together.
Through their dialogue, Freya also vaguely confirmed Krus's identity.
He was one of the pioneers who first entered Hell World from Stellar Tower, as mentioned by Jann, and he was also a wizard severely contaminated by Hellish Aura.
However, what surprised Freya was that despite being entangled with a thick Hellish Aura, he appeared no different from an ordinary wizard and showed no signs of being a Hell Creature.
"The Hell World is vast; it's comparable to our Wizarding World. You must understand that so far, we wizards have explored less than a quarter of the Wizarding World. Nearly three-quarters remain shrouded in mist, with everything inside being unknown. The intelligent beings in Hell World are similar; after all, Hell World has natural formations like Hell's Mouth, which are World Rifts. No one knows what worlds those World Rifts lead to or what strange things might fall through them."
Listening quietly to Krus's knowledge about Hell World, Freya nodded in agreement.
"That's right. If the Wizarding World had such natural phenomena, it would probably be in chaos by now."
"Hehe, actually we also have quite a few interdimensional gaps in the Wizarding World, but they are generally unstable; they might only last for a second before disappearing. If any stabilize, they become exploration passages for us wizards to other worlds," Krus said with a smile.
"That's true," Freya smiled back and then shifted the topic. "By the way, Lord Krus, I'm very curious about the guardians of Hell World. Could you tell me more about them? That last fellow almost killed me."
"Oh? You're interested in such creatures?" Krus stroked his white beard thoughtfully. "Actually, the Hell Guardian has another name: Revenant Guardian. According to our research, this is a protective mechanism evolved by the Underworld River."
"Hmm?" Freya paused slightly and probed further. "Are you suggesting that the Underworld River has self-awareness?"
"Yes," Krus nodded. "This is the result of our research over the years. Those powerful beings known as Revenant Guardians are not normal creatures of hell in a certain sense; they are directly birthed by the Underworld River. Even if you kill the guardian creature in a certain area, before long, a powerful Hell Creature will regenerate there. Although their appearances and abilities may differ, they still exist to protect the Underworld River from harm."
"Is that so?" Freya fell into deep thought, unsure of what she was contemplating.
Krus also remained silent, seemingly afraid to interrupt Freya's train of thought.
During their silence, Jann approached from not far away, looking exhausted.
His previously clean green robe was now stained with a lot of black goo for some unknown reason, making him appear somewhat disheveled.
However, despite his tired expression, there was a hint of excitement on his face as he walked over, slightly raising the item in his hand and calling out loudly.
"Lady Freya, I have identified what this is!"
But upon seeing Krus, he paused for a moment before breaking into a smile.
"Krus, my old friend, what brings you here? Wait, haven't you been stationed in Hell all this time? Did those old fellows manage to research something?" (To be continued)
