Chapter 498: Chapter 30: Rotten Wood’s Domain Inheritance

Domain!

The third level of the Wizard’s Road, and the level that wizards must pass to move towards eternity.

This is the goal that all secret skills pursue.

Powerful strength, higher level knowledge, higher dimensional cognition… the various benefits of advancing to the domain level need not be elaborated, just one point to be made—

Life!

The ultimate lifespan of a Mystical Wizard is roughly 3000 years, while the life force at the domain level will reach over 5000 years!

years, what kind of concept is this?

Placed on Earth, that’s essentially from the birth of Lynch’s hometown civilization all the way to modernization. Even in this fantasy-featured world, it’s a long stretch of history for many human civilizations.

What is the ultimate purpose for wizards continuously striving forward on this arduous path? When you put it plainly, isn’t it just to live longer.

Now, such an opportunity is before everyone’s eyes. To say there’s no temptation would be impossible.

It’s just that previously there was consideration of the other’s identity, consideration of the Supreme Council’s rules, but now since the Clophes family, which stands behind the Supreme Council, has already said so, of course everyone should act.

Anderson from the Pure White Tower was the first to stand up: “Everyone gathered here today is for the Third-tier Domain, so whatever conditions you have, just state them.”

Beside him, Kano chimed in: “Anderson is right, Lord Alto, what must we pay to obtain your inheritance?”

All eyes focused on Alto.

Alto didn’t hide anything, nodding serenely: “That’s good, since that’s the case, I’ll just be straightforward…”

“My time… is running out… and because of various reasons, advancing in rules has little hope… Before life draws to a close, I make no demands, just wish to choose… a qualified successor… to inherit all I have…”

Then, he slowly revealed the conditions for selecting a successor.

…

After the meeting ended, in the Northern Ruins.

“Tap, tap, tap!”

The crisp sound of hooves echoed through the desolate ruins, as a convoy sped through.

This was a rather peculiar convoy.

Pulling the carriage were several tall, robust Bone Warhorses, with purple-blue Soul Fires fiercely burning within their hollow bones, violently flaring out as they ran, making an exceptionally arrogant and domineering scene.

And the carriage being pulled behind the warhorses was also made of bones, a pure Bone carriage, as if a Hell War Car driving out from Hell.

Inside the carriage, Lynch was leaning against a soft sofa. The elf Naliti was like a little cat, softly curled up on his lap, already asleep, and even a slight snoring sound could be heard from her cherry-like mouth.

Lynch’s gaze fell on the window outside, watching the rolling dust stirred up by the passing carriage, and the desolate ruins buried by the sprawling yellow sand beyond that dust.

“Sir Saphiro, what do you think?”

At that moment, an old voice sounded, coming from Baggen sitting opposite.

The route back to the Green House coincided with his, so Lynch took Baggen along for the ride, conveniently discussing various messy matters along the way. Updates are released by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

Lynch was silent for a moment.

He certainly knew what Baggen was talking about, precisely regarding the matter of Domain Inheritance proposed by the Rotten Wood Elder earlier.

According to the Rotten Wood Elder Alto, he gathered several Mystical Wizards this time to select a qualified candidate for his inheritance from among them.

The selection method was to participate in a trial test.

The Rotten Wood Elder set up a trial in the original Land of Decay, inviting several Mysticals to participate. As long as they successfully pass his tests, they can obtain his inheritance and become the successor of the Land of Decay.

Sounds… quite good, doesn’t it?

But Lynch feared it wouldn’t be that simple…

After a moment of silence, Lynch shared his thoughts: “I fear it might not be as simple as it appears; this Rotten Wood Elder is not one to be trifled with.”

When the world was reordered, it was no accident that the Rotten Wood Elder was branded a Black Wizard and subjected to the Supreme Council’s pursuit and hunt.

The things he did back then… compared to him, Alfred seemed almost honorable…

What’s using apprentices for experiments, those nonsensical, chaotic affairs of his were essentially intent on overthrowing Wizard Civilization and exterminating all wizards.

Just a simple example, once a bizarre plague ravaged the entire Wizard World, any wizard infected with the plague would wither like Rotten Wood, and the source of the plague was precisely concocted by this Rotten Wood Elder.

For such a savage madman to emerge now, claiming he’s about to die, and wishing to find a qualified successor to inherit his full mantle and knowledge before his death… it seems somewhat out of tune with his way of doing things.

Although under the Eye of Death God, Lynch could indeed see the dwindling numbers above his head, his soul showed no signs of resignation typical of an old man facing death; instead, it had an essence of brutality and defiance.

Of course, this cannot completely indicate that the opponent necessarily harbors malice, but Lynch instinctively felt it wouldn’t be that simple.

Baggen nodded, agreeing: “I think the same, if it were another wizard calmly accepting fate at this time and choosing a successor, I’d find it plausible, but if that person is Alto… pardon me, he doesn’t seem the type to accept fate.”

While Baggen may not be the strongest among the several Mystical Wizards in the Jade Land, he certainly has lived the longest, his rich life experience gives him a unique perspective even without the Eye of Death God.

Lynch asked: “Sir Red Beard, are you planning to participate? In this trial?”

Baggen hesitated somewhat.

After thinking for a while, he responded: “Although Alto certainly has issues, with the Clophes family providing assurance, at least we can be sure the inheritance in the trial should really exist. A Domain inheritance… is quite enticing!”

Lynch raised an eyebrow, asking: “Speaking of, the Domain inheritance of the Jade Land isn’t with you? I’m quite puzzled?”

The Jade Land was initially a genuine Third-tier Witch Domain, it housed the Third-tier Wizard Organization Tower of Nature, and had a figure like Third-tier Domain Wizard Felvin. Theoretically, there should be a complete Domain inheritance there.

And Baggen, as Felvin’s student and brother, the one who spent the most time with him, should have some knowledge, right?

Facing Lynch’s question, Baggen sighed: “If it were with me, I wouldn’t be so troubled…”
