The area was known for its howling winds year-round, which gave it its name. A shadowy figure cloaked in black moved stealthily through the canyon's jungle.
Quickly, his expression changed as he turned to the left, already gathering a ball of pitch-black flames in his hand. To his left, it seemed that someone had noticed the dark fire and felt reassured. An old man, wrapped in a white serpent, emerged from the shadows. "Don't misunderstand," he said.
Every time the Truth School held enrollment, the old man would hide in Wildstorm Gorge. Speaking of this made him grit his teeth in frustration; he was genuinely angry. This mountainous region had originally been his private playground.
Whenever he researched Dark Magic, he would casually send out magical beasts to capture a few people for materials and spend his days delving into the mysteries of magic, which brought him joy. However, he was at a loss as to how those Ordinary Mages had banded together—not only did they hold a Mage Exchange Conference, but they also established a school!
They traveled from all corners of the world just to recruit students. At first, he was unaware of their activities until two years ago when he encountered a Flying Ship and was discovered by over ten enrollment teachers who proceeded to beat him up for justice. Had it not been for a Magic Item that allowed him to escape, he might have perished then.
Thus, every time enrollment season approached for the Truth School, he had no choice but to hide in this gorge like a frightened mouse, too afraid to show his face. The cloaked figure looked deeply at the old man, especially noting the white serpent coiling around his neck.
After confirming this detail, he asked meaningfully, "Your Excellency, shall we cooperate?"
The old man silently took two steps back, creating some distance between them. "If you are merely hiding from the Truth School, we can stay together in Wildstorm Gorge. This place is large enough. But if you seek something else, I won't be very welcoming."
Though he spoke these words aloud, internally he began to scoff at the idea of cooperation. Cooperation between Evil Mages? It was laughable.
For decades, the All-Continent Mage Exchange Conference had been thriving; why hadn’t Evil Mages organized a similar Exchange Conference? It was simply because Evil Mages were fundamentally madmen exploring the path of magic.
If two Evil Mages teamed up, one could never know when they might turn on each other—cutting off heads and draining blood for their terrifying experiments. After all, ordinary mortals were abundant as experimental materials and easy to find.
Slightly precious materials for wizards, if one can hunt for them, can indeed be found.
What is the most valuable experimental material?
That's right, it is the Evil Mage themselves.
Even though we are all experts in researching Dark Magic, and despite our different approaches, we ultimately share the same goal, don’t we?
Hunting an Evil Mage would be immensely rewarding for the Evil Mage themselves!
Only Xu Lie has encountered a few Evil Mages who once attempted to attack the Mage Exchange Conference, as well as Maizhemacha, whom he met during the initial Enrollment; these are exceptions.
These two instances are isolated cases; aside from them, the vast majority of Evil Mages operate alone.
Thus, when the old man hears the figure in the black robe asking about a potential partnership, he can't be bothered to listen any further.
Whether it’s a collaboration against the Truth School or something else entirely, he would never give them a chance.
The figure in the black robe had long anticipated this reaction; no one understands their own kind better than they do. An Evil Mage can best comprehend another Evil Mage's mindset: I am not here to hide from the Truth School.
I have come specifically to find you, old man.
We all know that every Evil Mage will never trust anyone else.
Fortunately, we have been lucky enough to stumble upon the Pledge of the Covenant. Through this medium, we successfully restored Covenant Magic.
