Chapter 13: A Disaster Fifty Years Ago

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The sun was about to set.

Ye Tian stood in the door frame, his face covered in shadows that made it difficult to see clearly.

Not far away.

Peter and the old man looked at each other, more or less surprised.

Clearly, Todd’s death was a little too… fast.

“Who are you?”

An emotionless voice came from Ye Tian’s mouth. He pondered for a moment but did not remember any description of the two of them.

However, Ye Tian was not a bloodthirsty person, so he asked first.

“Mayor…”

Peter and the old man panicked. Even Todd was not Ye Tian’s match, so they were nothing.

Soon, the two of them explained the specific situation in a short sentence.

Five years had actually passed…

After understanding the specific information, Ye Tian’s mouth opened slightly in disbelief.

Actually, when he saw the situation in the room, he was already mentally prepared. However, five years was still too long.

“Have you heard of the mage he mentioned?”

Looking at the two of them, Ye Tian asked casually.

He was only an Advanced Mage now. He could not help but have a headache at the thought of being targeted by a mage at the Magister level.

Therefore, if he could obtain some information, it would be best to make preparations in advance.

Of course, Ye Tian did not have much hope and did not think that he could obtain any information from the two of them.

Peter scratched his ears and cheeks, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, the old man said, “I’ve heard a little about it.”

“Go ahead.”

Ye Tian looked at him in surprise.

The old man lowered his slightly turbid eyes as if he was immersed in his memories. After a while, he said,

“50 years ago, there was a disaster that killed hundreds of people in the Empire. It was said that it was triggered by a mage who escaped from the Upper Realm and was prepared to sacrifice living beings to obtain strength.”

“At that time, many mages from the Empire went over and attacked together. Although that mage came from the Upper Realm, he couldn’t withstand the number of people and fled in a sorry state. I don’t know where he hid. There was very little news about Ricks in so many years.”

“Speaking of which, if I hadn’t experienced it myself, I probably wouldn’t have known these things.”

The old man could not help but sigh.

At that time, he was still a ten-year-old child. In the blink of an eye, he had aged.

“Fifty years. Maybe the old man is dying.”

Ye Tian smiled.

Mages could use magic power to extend their lifespan, but they would still age.

Fifty years ago, Ricks was definitely not young. He had not appeared for so many years. Now, he wanted to break through to become a Magister. Who knew how many years it would take?

Peter and the old man smiled awkwardly, not daring to reply.

With his hands behind his back, Ye Tian walked out of his room and wandered around the town, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

Ever since he transmigrated here, he had been living in Rock Town. There were too many places here that filled him with memories.

In the past five years, the layout of the buildings in the town had changed drastically. More importantly, many familiar faces had disappeared.

The people who used to call him captain and mayor had all disappeared.

Ye Tian could not help but sigh in his heart when he did not see anyone familiar. The flaws brought about by his unlimited lifespan were slowly revealed.

Loneliness and isolation gathered in his heart bit by bit.

Peter followed beside Ye Tian and carefully introduced the changes in the town. He kept an eye on Ye Tian’s expression.

“The name Free Town is not as good as Rock Town. What do you think?”

Ye Tian looked at the buildings on both sides and complained to Peter.

“Yes, yes, you’re right. Tomorrow… No, wait. I’ll get someone to change it back when I get back later.”

Peter reacted quickly and immediately understood what Ye Tian meant. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled obsequiously.

“To be honest, when Doron wanted to change his name, I was very against it.”

Ye Tian looked at him calmly and nodded gently without saying anything.

After that, Peter invited Ye Tian for dinner.

After not eating for a long time, Ye Tian wanted to have a taste of the food and did not reject it.

The three of them walked into the most luxurious restaurant in Rock Town. Peter should be the boss here.

As soon as he entered, a steward immediately came over to greet him.

Peter pulled a long face and instructed him to get the kitchen to prepare the best food.

When they arrived at the private room, the old man tried to chat with Ye Tian. He mostly talked about the changes in the Empire.

Ye Tian had not understood these things for a few years and was very interested in them now. He listened quietly.

After a sumptuous dinner, Ye Tian rejected their suggestion to continue following them and walked back home alone.

The thick and heavy air was filled with dust, causing Ye Tian to frown.

“Let’s clean up the house first.”

Muttering to himself, Ye Tian waved his fingers and a weak wind appeared quickly. It wrapped around his fingertips and quickly swept through the entire house.

Dust revealed the shape of the wind as it spiraled outside the house.

Fresh air rushed in and Ye Tian took a look before nodding in satisfaction.

…

Looking at the data on the interface, Ye Tian nodded slightly. The data now was much better.

His gaze lingered on the Advanced Mage column for a long time.

“I actually advanced from Intermediate to Advanced in five years. If I didn’t experience it personally, I’m afraid it would be difficult to believe.”

The breakthrough of a mage’s realm was related to magic power. It required a solid foundation, but there was no lack of talented people who could cross many realms in a short period of time.

However, Ye Tian asked himself honestly. How could a person who was expelled from school reach this level?

Unable to figure out the exact reason, Ye Tian did not probe further.

In any case, a breakthrough in strength was a good thing!

It was already late at night.

Ye Tian sat in the courtyard and could not help but look at the starry sky with a longing expression.

He thought of Windsor again.

In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed. He wondered how she was doing now. Had she made a breakthrough in her strength and become an official mage?

“I’ve already become an Advanced Mage. How far can the Great Mage realm be? Windsor, wait for me. I’ll definitely look for you.”

Facing the endless starry sky, Ye Tian swore another oath to himself.

Next, Ye Tian began to meditate. He had nothing to do to begin with, so meditating to increase his strength was naturally the best choice.

In the town, Peter and the old man joined forces and devoured Doron’s forces under the cover of night.

When the sun rose from the horizon, the town returned to silence. There was no sign of the noise and chaos of the night.

In addition, at the entrance of the town, a group of people was taking down the plaque with “Free Town” written on it and carefully hanging the plaque with “Rock Town” on it.

Some passing merchants were puzzled and asked for the reason.

When they found out that Ye Tian had appeared again and killed a mage in one move, they could not help but gasp.
