They have no idea what exactly is going on between Daniel and Boris.
"Flame Throne Wizard Academy, Wizard Seed, Daniel, I've met Mentor Boris."
"Hmph, I'm not any mentor. Don't think that just because you mention Flame Throne Wizard Academy, I will be afraid of you. However, your dean did send me a message. As long as you don't harm those carrying the Silver Moon Guardian Badge, I can give him some face.
Just hand over the Fire Element Pool to me, and I'll spare your life. If you dare to say no, I'll put your soul in hellfire and burn it for ten thousand years."
Boris snorted coldly but still replied icily.
"Mentor, you're joking. How could you do anything to me?"
"Why can't I do anything to you? I wish I could kill you."
Daniel smiled lightly, very confidently. "Mentor, you're too good at joking. How could I not know that the conflict between the Light and Dark Wizards has become so severe that even Wizard Apprentices are being assassinated by Formal Wizards?"
After listening to this, Boris hesitated for a moment before letting out a long sigh. He grabbed Daniel and flew off into the distance.
He truly did not expect that Daniel had already guessed the truth in advance.
Indeed, the surface and underground actually belong to the Wizard Alliance; the only difference is in the training philosophies of their apprentices.
The surface process is gentle, producing Formal Wizards with relatively weaker combat abilities but in greater numbers. They excel in teamwork and research, mostly being Bright Wizards. They appear in wars in legion form.
The Underworld, on the other hand, is much more brutal—survival of the fittest. Those who become Formal Wizards here are strong individuals who have fought their way through countless battles and possess strong combat abilities. They are accustomed to fighting alone or with a few companions and are Dark Sorcerers.
The battles between the two sides are merely for resource competition and training more wizards. Although Wizard Apprentices fight fiercely below, resulting in hundreds or thousands of casualties in a single war, from the perspective of Formal Wizards, it means nothing at all.
They even secretly encourage such behavior to free up more resources for cultivating more talented apprentices.
Do not be fooled by the current joint siege of the Flame Throne Wizard Academy by the Six Great Wizard Towers; while the situation appears dire and seems to have reached a life-and-death moment, that is merely an illusion held by the Wizard Apprentices below. The true outcome has long been predetermined.
Even if the Flame Throne Wizard Academy were to suffer a complete defeat and be attacked by the Six Great Wizard Towers, it would at most only lose a significant amount of resource points, leading to a shortage of resources for the academy and making survival difficult for the apprentices.
There is nothing else at stake; the territory for recruiting apprentices remains as vast as ever and will not diminish in the slightest.
This territory is determined by the Rule Wizard behind the academy, not by these Wizard Apprentices below.
Once more apprentices are recruited by the academy in the future, and resources become insufficient, it will naturally expand outward again to recover.
However, this information has been tightly sealed; unless one is a Formal Wizard, no one knows how Daniel came to know it.
Little does anyone know that Daniel had already made some guesses. Although he did not know how strong the Wizard Alliance truly was, he could infer that they would not allow Underworld wizards to roam freely and oppose surface wizards.
However, the situation between Underworld and surface wizards is different; their methods of cultivating wizards do not align. One method is gentle, while the other employs a survival-of-the-fittest approach.
While they seem vastly different and apart, Daniel understands that the Wizard Alliance requires two types of wizards: Bright Wizards and Dark Sorcerers. This led him to speculate whether surface cultivation produces Bright Wizards while Underworld cultivates Dark Sorcerers.
The conflict between the two is merely a rehearsal for war, aimed at training true combat-savvy wizards.
Regardless, it is better to conduct rehearsals now than to learn how to fight on the battlefield later.
At this moment, seeing the hint of surprise in Boris's eyes, Daniel knew his speculation was correct.
He breathed a sigh of relief; as long as his guess was right, he knew his life was spared. As a fellow wizard of the Wizard Alliance, Boris could not do anything to him.
After all, he is a Wizard Seed, an exceptionally talented Wizard Apprentice destined to become a Formal Wizard. If someone like him could be casually killed, what would be the purpose of the Wizard Alliance establishing and nurturing Wizard Seeds?
"You guessed correctly, but what does it matter? If you don't give me the Fire Element Pool today, I won't let you off easily."
"The mentor laughed; how could you have the audacity to steal my things?"
Boris was so angry that he gritted his teeth. "You stole my things, for goodness' sake! That was mine!" The value of the Magic Stone was over 10,000, and he couldn't accept it.
Fortunately, he didn't know that the true value of the Fire Element Pool had already exceeded 400,000 Magic Stones.
The Fire Element Pool was worth 200,000 Magic Stones, but inside it contained countless Fire Element Crystals and a single Elemental Red Lotus. All these things combined made the total worth at least 400,000 Magic Stones.
Who wouldn't be tempted by such a huge fortune? If he could obtain it, it would even cover a significant portion of the funds needed to build the Wizard Tower.
However, Boris couldn't really do anything to Daniel because Daniel hadn't offended him. Although the Fire Element Pool was on his territory, it couldn't be considered his property.
Given that, how could he casually kill a talented apprentice from the Wizard Alliance? Otherwise, what would happen to the rules of the Wizard Alliance?
But letting go of such a massive wealth was something he couldn't accept. He had no choice but to take Daniel back to the Wizard Tower.
Boris's Wizard Tower was different from Maxwell's Wizard Tower that Daniel had seen before. Maxwell's Wizard Tower was only three stories tall and resembled a villa—delicate and suitable for single occupancy.
In contrast, Boris's Wizard Tower had dozens of floors and reached high into the sky, suitable for hundreds or even thousands of people.
Meditating in such a rich elemental environment could speed up one's meditation process.
It seemed this was also why the underground academy was called a Wizard Tower. All apprentices lived within the Wizard Tower.
While still in the air, Boris suddenly threw Daniel downwards, intending to scare him into submission.
From thousands of meters high, hearing the howling wind rush past his ears and watching the ground get closer and closer, that feeling of imminent death wasn't something an ordinary person could withstand. Someone with poor mental fortitude might even faint from fear.
Unfortunately for Boris, Daniel had parachuted before—not just once or twice—and knowing that Boris wouldn't really harm him allowed him to enjoy the sensation of free-falling. Although he felt nervous inside, he didn't show it on his face.
As he got closer to the ground, Daniel's expression didn't change at all; there was no sign of fear.
Boris had no choice but to catch him forcefully and said fiercely, "You think you're tough? Just stay here until you agree to return the Fire Element Pool to me. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving."
He put a ring on his hand, and Daniel suddenly felt all the elements surrounding him vanish, leaving him with no sensation of them.
This was actually the Magic Suppression Ring, which could make one unable to sense elements. For a wizard, this was the greatest punishment.
Because in this situation, he would no longer be able to cast spells, and due to the inability to sense elements, even meditation became a problem, preventing his Mental Power from ever progressing.
However, a faint cold smile appeared at the corner of Daniel's mouth. He had already moved beyond the stage of using elemental meditation. The last four Meditation Runes had greatly reduced the demand for elements, and he had adopted a different method of meditation.
Although the Magic Suppression Ring was powerful, it could not imprison the fragments of rules. For him, aside from being unable to cast spells, there was not much difference.
Soon, a Wizard Apprentice appeared, sneering as he glanced at Daniel and said, "Kid, the master won't let you leave this Wizard Tower. Besides that, your treatment is comparable to that of an Apprentice Leader."
"Really?"
"Of course."
At that moment, he appeared very jealous. After all, he was just a prisoner; why should he enjoy such good treatment?
