Chapter 283: Imformation about the outside world
"You…" Eleanor froze in place, looking at the blood mist in front of her.
"Why… Why did you kill her?" she trembled in terror.
"Don't act like you actually care for these 'friends'," Aur calmly spoke as he sat in the chair.
Seeing her facade crumbling, Eleanor bit her lip, and her demeanour became completely calm with a hint of indifference, starkly different from her previous meekness.
"How did you know?" she looked at him, confusion evident in her gaze.
Aur chuckled. "Just a hunch. Thank you for proving it right."
Eleanor was speechless upon hearing this.
"What do you want?" she soon shook her head, getting straight to the point.
"What do I want?" Aur slowly closed his eyes, as if deep in thought. "What can you offer?"
Eleanor rolled her eyes. "This bastard."
She wanted to make a move, but considering how easily Aur had killed her companion, Eleanor could only reluctantly suppress her desire.
As for her so-called "friend," they were in name only; considering the internal battle they were fighting, they could be considered enemies who couldn't coexist together under the sky.
Though her strength surpassed hers, the sect didn't allow them to fight. Unfortunately, she was still alive because of them but now Aur had helped her to kill him.
"Sigh," Eleanor finally relented. "You know that killing that girl undoubtedly provoked our faction, right?"
"Won't you help me cover it up?" Aur said with a faint smile.
"Alright then, as my 'partner,' I will do you that much of a favour," she spoke as if she were doing him a great service.
Aur sneered inwardly; he could easily see through her thoughts.
But he didn't address this matter immediately; Aur hadn't forgotten the key reason he had come to this place.
"Give me all the information you have about the outside world," Aur spoke, enunciating each word.
Eleanor raised her brows in shock. "How did you know that I came from the outside world?"
"I had a hunch from the start, and the sect you mentioned... there is no sect in the wilderness, as far as I understand," Aur spoke calmly, his gaze calculating.
Eleanor was even more shocked.
This guy could discern almost anything from just a few words, her heart immediately becoming vigilant as her gaze turned strange, as if she were looking at a monster.
"So, tell me about the outside world," Aur looked at Eleanor intently.
This was his purpose in coming here. Although as an Elder, he had already visited the information pavilion and even accessed a place that only the village leaders could go to, the information contained there was mostly outdated and vague regarding the outside world. If he eventually had to leave these places, then updated information about the outside world was necessary.
"What if I don't tell you?" Eleanor narrowed her eyes.
"Then I will kill you," Aur stated without hesitation.
"How could you be so cruel after I gave you my first time?" Her voice was extremely small, acting very meek and pitiful.
"Isn't it too late to act like this?" Aur said with mild amusement.
"Hehe, worth a try, no?" Eleanor chuckled.
"Definitely worth a try," Aur nodded. "But it might cost you your life." His body suddenly emitted a terrifying killing intent.
The atmosphere grew heavy, and Eleanor's face paled while sweat formed on her jade skin.
Since he had killed so many people and beasts, his body had gradually accumulated this
killing intent.
All the individuals he had killed were powerful, so the accumulated killing intent was naturally significant.
"Hey, hey, you are such a brute," Eleanor spoke playfully while inwardly she was scared but she gathered her courage as if Aur's killing intent didn't affect her at all.
"Alright, I will tell you all the information about the outside world then. Even though I have not visited the place for ten years, I still know a lot of things," her tone gradually turned serious.
Aur perked his ears, listening solemnly.
"Where do you want me to start from?"
Aur seemed thoughtful for a moment before he asked, "What are the Higher Tiers of the wizard realm, and what can they do?"
"Oh, you want to know that, huh," she smiled. "That's not impossible. Although I cannot go into the details of the higher wizard tiers, I can give you a brief introduction. Unlike these villages, the tiers are complex and very comprehensive."
Aur nodded. Discover stories at M V L
"I'm sure you know about the wizard apprentice stage already, so I won't delve into it. There are nine tiers for a wizard in total. From tier one to tier three, it is called the early stage for a wizard, where they are just beginning to learn the ways of spells," Eleanor explained with a smile.
"What you consider the peak power is just the beginning of a wizard's journey, where the mana is blue, green, and red respectively."
"Then come the tier four to tier six wizards. Their mana has all been transformed into the gaseous state, dividing them into blue, green, and red for each tier respectively," Eleanor's tone gradually became serious.
"And then the last three tiers could be considered the true powerhouse of this world, with power that could turn the trajectories of the world."
"The mental space will evolve into a true world, living beings can exist and even the ecosystem cycle could be formed just like our world. At that point, they don't even control mana; instead, they directly control the world essence itself."
"World essence!?" Aur's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
What did the wizard awaken with? That was the World Essence that every person went through. This mysterious power could refine the mental space for the person, and the power of it was naturally terrifying.
This mysterious power couldn't be controlled by anyone until he found out that it was actually the power that tier seven wizards and above could use.
"How many tier seven or above wizards are there in the world?" Aur's eyes narrowed.
"I don't know. I am not qualified to even know the names of those people. However, it is said that there are no tier nine wizards in this world. As for the eighth and seventh tiers, there are said to be many, all controlling the trends of the world."
"Oh?" Aur finally became interested when he heard this. With his strength, if he really went outside, the dangers there would be even more terrifying than those in this small wilderness.
"Tell me about the background of the world, then introduce me to the major powers of the world."
"Yes," Eleanor nodded as she patiently explained everything. "The true power in the outside world is held by the dynasties and the sects. They have strong ancestors holding down the fort, including some tier eight wizards."
"This wilderness is part of the Roshar kingdom and—"
"You don't have to explain that to me. I knew that when I was a child," Aur casually said.
Eleanor paused. "Then what do you want me to tell you, Aur?"
"Give me the list of the strong forces and briefly explain the situation outside the power division and all."
"Yes," Eleanor nodded. "The strongest and undisputed kingdom is called the Divine Human kingdom, and the power it holds makes all the other nations bow their heads; they even have to pay tribute to it."
"As for sects, although some sects have power, they fall short compared to the Divine Human kingdom…"
Aur carefully listened to all the details, completely absorbing all the knowledge about the outside world.
The day soon turned into night.
"Cough, cough…" Eleanor's throat was sore as she looked at Aur with some resentment.
"I have given you all I know about the outside world," her voice was very hoarse and faint from explaining all day.
Aur nodded his head and turned around to leave.
"Hey, you're leaving just like that?" she licked her dried lips.
"You are right," Aur seemed to have thought of something. "You never told me which sect you came from."
"You…" Eleanor gritted her teeth, looking at Aur with some resentment. "I am from the succubus sect."
Aur suddenly remembered something the moment she uttered the word "succubus," making his expression turn strange.
"Are you really from the succubus race?"
"What do you mean?" Eleanor looked at Aur weirdly. "There is no such thing as succubus. We are only named as such because of the spells we practiced, which drain men dry."
Aur's ears twitched. It was exactly as he had previously guessed: these women were really succubus, one of the beasts which was a fantasy in his previous life, now actually existed. They were called pawns of the devil by the church.
He didn't really care about them though.
For him, with strong mental defence and high vitality, Aur could pretty much tame them before they could do any harm. But he had no desire to do so unless it increased his strength.
"Aur, so how about it? Wanna go for rounds?" She looked out the window, seeing the shiny moon and the twinkling stars. "The night is still young."
"What about the women from the landlord?" Aur was still lost in thought. Although this milf's body was tempting, igniting the hormones in his body, he could control himself perfectly.
Eleanor looked at her curves and couldn't help but feel disappointed, but she still answered his question.
"They are from one of the succubus sect's abandoned branches."
"Abandoned?"
"They were punished because their previous sect leader did something wrong, causing them to come to such a secluded place."
