After some thought, Daniel wrote a letter in ancient Byron language and then called Hedwig to fly back to the academy to deliver the letter to his mentor, Maxwell.
The reason the Wizard Apprentice raised an Owl was so that he could communicate with others while away from the academy. However, in the past two years, Daniel had rarely gone out, which is why he hadn't utilized it.
The white Owl circled around the table until Daniel offered it a fragrant meat strip as food. After eating its fill, it finally took off.
After two hours, the Adela Tribe finally handed over the team at Daniel's urging.
Daniel did not linger; he quickly headed towards the Entrance to the Passage with the Bullman Knight Order. On the backs of several Kodo Beasts belonging to Minotaur Commanders were large packages, which contained Daniel's haul this time: various Spell Materials, Potion Materials, and Alchemical Materials from the Underworld.
It took Daniel two hours to arrive initially, but this time with Kodo Beasts for transportation, they only spent one hour reaching the underground entrance.
At the entrance, there was also a team of knight guards responsible for handling various emergencies. Of course, they were not the main force from the camp; there was a group of Wizard Apprentices stationed here year-round specifically for guard duties to prevent attacks from Underworld creatures on the Passage.
Seeing the person standing there surprised Daniel; it was Maxwell's servant, Legendary Knight Baron. Upon seeing him, Baron smiled and said, "Daniel, you finally made it. I've been waiting for you here for half an hour."
"Thank you."
Daniel felt somewhat moved; it must have been his mentor who sent him to welcome him. His mentor had been so good to him. "Has Brook returned? I imagine he is still fighting against the Minotaurs in the north."
Baron unhesitatingly shot him down. "He just returned and is currently climbing up the ladder."
Daniel felt a wave of frustration. Could you be a little more tactful? However, he truly did not expect Brook to return in such a short amount of time.
Although the northern tribes were slightly weaker than the Southern Tribe, they weren't that far off either. He couldn't believe Brook managed to wipe out the northern tribe and return in such a short period. He must be incredibly strong.
No matter what, it was still nearly twenty Third-Level Wizard Apprentices leading over a hundred Second-Level Wizard Apprentices. To be able to eliminate them single-handedly in such a short time was truly impressive.
Over a thousand Minotaurs! Even if you had a bunch of pigs standing there for you to kill, you wouldn't be able to finish them off!
Daniel couldn't afford to chat with him and ordered the Bullman Knight Order to follow him as they climbed up the stairs.
Fortunately, Maxwell had already given a heads-up; otherwise, this obvious group of Underworld creatures would have been attacked long ago for daring to walk around here so openly.
He himself had activated the Lightness Technique and was sprinting upwards.
As he neared the staircase exit, Daniel spotted Brook's figure from a distance and went over to greet him with a smile. "Hello, Senior Brook. You look covered in blood and pale; what happened? Are you okay? Maybe you should take a break."
Brook looked terrible. He had paid an enormous price to wipe out the Northern Tribe in such a short time. He was mentally exhausted, his magical energy depleted, and he had numerous injuries, nearly dying there.
Seeing Daniel looking refreshed and seemingly unscathed was hard for him to believe.
"How did you come back? Don't tell me you've already wiped out the Southern Tribe?"
"Of course! It wasn't that difficult. Look, I even captured a True Mirror worth twelve hundred Magic Stones."
Looking at the True Mirror that Daniel pulled out, Brook's face turned ashen. This was precisely what he had deliberately left behind in the Southern Tribe; he never expected that even this wouldn't delay Daniel's actions.
"Take care, Senior. I'm going ahead to report my mission."
With that, Daniel sidestepped past Brook and headed back to the academy. Brook watched his figure grow more distant and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Daniel strolled around the academy with his hands behind his back while waiting for the Bullman Knight Order to catch up. Looking at this group of fellows, the Legendary Knight responsible for the Passage's safety didn't look pleased. Who knew if they would cause any trouble? He certainly didn't want any issues under his command.
“Daniel, Maxwell the Wizard has informed me of the situation. Take them away from the academy for now and head to the port!”
Daniel bowed. “Understood, my lord. I will take them away immediately.”
He then signaled for the Bullman Knight Order to follow him, of course, this route was specially planned by Daniel. They passed through the Trading Area, the teaching area, and other densely populated places.
Seeing groups of leisurely strolling Wizard Apprentices, the expressions of the Minotaurs were quite remarkable.
What they saw were figures equivalent to Minotaur Warriors and Minotaur Commanders. Even though their tribe was so powerful with only over a hundred members, just this one route had no less than two or three thousand people.
Especially when they occasionally spotted Maxwell Mentor, feeling his overwhelming presence like mountains and seas. This made these Minotaurs, who were never afraid of anything, feel terrified and unable to control themselves. It seemed that he alone could annihilate their entire tribe.
How could there be such powerful individuals in the world?
They had initially harbored some resentment towards the strong suppression from the High Priest, which forced them to surrender. Now, seeing just a glimpse of what the academy had to offer, they no longer dared to voice any complaints.
If the academy truly decided to take action against their tribe, they wouldn’t even have a chance to fight back. Terrified, they calmly accepted Daniel's orders and no longer dared to dissent.
Meanwhile, those within the academy were equally intrigued by these Minotaurs, who stood over three meters tall and rode on massive Kodo Beasts. How could Minotaurs not be living in the Underworld, but instead appeared at the academy?
It wasn’t until they saw Daniel leading the way that they realized he had captured these slaves. This kind of thing was common for them; when bored, they would go find a few magical pets and recruit some subordinates. Especially those suitable for warming beds; many apprentices were very interested as each could be sold for a high price.
However, it was rare for someone like Daniel to capture dozens of powerful subordinates at once. He wasn’t afraid of being unable to suppress them and facing backlash.
In no time, discussions erupted within the academy, all curious about Daniel’s actions.
He settled the Bullman Knight Order in a camp next to the port and instructed Iron Hoof to be cautious and not let any Minotaurs go out, lest it provide an opportunity for those with ulterior motives. Only then did he turn and head towards his mentor’s Wizard Tower.
"Not bad, I didn't expect you to actually succeed. Don't worry, Daniel, the moment you came out of the Underworld, I informed the Dean. The rest is up to their judgment."
"Thank you, Mentor."
Daniel sincerely expressed his gratitude; without the mentor's help, he wouldn't have achieved what he did today.
Not long after returning to the dormitory, Daniel heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, he saw Jim and smiled as he let him in.
Jim's expression was somewhat strange, carrying a hint of flattery. "Senior Daniel, I heard that your mission from the academy was to annihilate the Southern Tribe. How did you manage to subdue them? Does that count as completing the mission?"
"Who knows? It all depends on the academy's decision. With my abilities, it would be impossible to wipe out the Southern Tribe; I could only find a way to subdue them."
Daniel shook his head.
With his skills, if he resorted to poison or assassination methods, it would take some time, but it wasn't impossible to eliminate the Southern Tribe. However, after Brook's commotion, they became wary. He had no hope of completing the task at all. Reluctantly, he had to resort to this plan.
"Congratulations on subduing so many powerful subordinates."
"It's nothing; just a bunch of foolish Minotaurs. Moreover, for a long time to come, I probably won't have time to lead them. I wonder if you could temporarily keep an eye on them for me; as long as you don't let them get themselves killed, feel free to use them as you wish."
"Sure! Thank you, Senior."
Even faced with such a good opportunity, Jim's smile seemed somewhat forced. They were both from the same ship; he could be considered one of the most outstanding on board; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use witchcraft on the ship.
At that time, he was taken as an apprentice by the mentor and promised various benefits to cultivate him.
He felt a bit proud at that moment. It was arguably one of his most glorious times. A group of apprentices surrounded him, calling him senior and trying to curry favor with him.
However, everything changed once they arrived at the academy. The initial reason for befriending Daniel was simply because he remained calm during a crisis on the ship and seemed like a good ally, someone who could serve as his strategist in the future. Jim didn't think much of Daniel at that time.
Who would have thought that later on, Daniel would reveal his talent for learning and be referred to as a professor, gradually replacing Jim's position in their mentor's eyes?
Their relationship also shifted; even if Daniel did nothing, his status continued to rise, and now it felt as though Daniel was becoming the dominant figure between them.
How could this happen? Jim couldn't understand. He had talent too; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use magic on the ship. Even in comparison to other apprentices at the academy, his progress was among the fastest. But compared to Daniel, he felt like nothing.
It wasn't that he wasn't capable; it was just that Daniel was too formidable. As a top-tier talent, Jim felt utterly insignificant in front of him.
"Thank you then, Jim."
"You're welcome."
Ever since he agreed to Daniel's request, Jim had been feeling uneasy. They chatted for a bit longer before parting ways.
