The World of Deities Chapter 100 – Jealousy

“A genius like Aristotle is destined to become an enemy of the Noble Academy and even the aristocracy. Why didn't you think of a way to kill him?”

“He's beneficial for Plato Academy. Then, what would he be for Athens?”

“Good.”

“What would he be for Greece?”

“Good.”

“What would he be for the world of Magic?”

“Good.”

“That's why I couldn't bear to do it.”

“But, for the future of the nobles…”

“That's why your talent is above mine but you're still unable to advance to legend.”

Cromwell's body trembled as he recalled Su Ye's words once more.

Only by setting the standards of a legend Master for himself could he become a legend Master.

Cromwell let out a long sigh and reached out to Pat Su Ye's shoulder, saying, “Thank you for letting me realize… No, understand, a principle. If you have any questions regarding magic, you can send me a magic letter at any time.” As he spoke, Cromwell's right index finger tapped on Su Ye's magic book.

“Also…” Cromwell looked at Su Ye, hesitating.

Su Ye tried his best to remain calm.

After a while, Cromwell's right hand flashed and a three-inch-long Black Jade Crow appeared.

“This is a small thing I made back then. It's not worth much. It can enhance the alarm bell. You can ask Niedern for more details about its function.” As he said that, he stuffed the thing into Su Ye's hand.

Cromwell didn't care how Su Ye reacted. He turned and boarded the carriage.

The carriage began to move. It slowly entered the dark night, passing through the walls and disappearing.

Su Ye flipped open the magic book, and in the 'Magic Letter' Column, a new name appeared.

Cromwell.

Su Ye let out a long sigh of relief.

A lie couldn't be hidden from a saint-level master.

Thus, in order to dispel Cromwell's murderous intent, Su Ye began to truly change from the inside out.

Su Ye did not deliberately hide his hostility, fear, or anger. Instead, he kept himself in a special state.

He did not judge.

Su Ye did not judge his emotions, his likes and dislikes, his situation, or Cromwell's intentions. He did not judge whether he was good or bad. He did not even judge the bloody knife hidden in Cromwell's heart.

He did not even judge the truth in Cromwell's words.

In this state of mind, Su Ye said the right words and made the right choice, thus temporarily resolving Cromwell's hostility.

“Fortunately, I have had this kind of experience before. Otherwise, it would have been very dangerous today. None of these big shots is easy to deal with. If I show signs of weakness, they will be eaten until not even their bones are left. If I show too much aggression, it will definitely trigger their killing intent. However, my age and low rank are my advantages. Once I reach the silver-gold rank and have a certain level of self-protection, I can try to truly keep a low profile. I hope that before I reach the saint-level, I won't encounter anything that will bring me into the spotlight…”

Su Ye looked into the depths of the night, as if there was hell hidden within.

“A test? What's the difference between it and Carlos' forgiveness?”

“I don't Like this feeling!”

Su Ye clenched his right fist lightly and quickly released it.

After going through an arbitration and escaping from the hidden murderous intent, Su Ye was extremely tired.

However, his brain couldn't stop at all. It was still spinning at high speed.

“With Master Plato's wisdom, he certainly could tell that I would definitely win in the end. However, he still intervened in the end. Is he afraid that I would be disappointed?”

“Cromwell's test… is it because he guessed that Master Plato wouldn't make a move, so he wanted to make me disappointed?”

“I passed Cromwell's test, but I rejected him. Then, it's equivalent to me passing Plato Academy's Test…”

“The Goddess of Wisdom's attention isn't the highest form of favor, but the rotation of the statue is a little strange. This kind of low-level divine favor shouldn't have caused such a big phenomenon…”

“Could there be something fishy about this crow?”

All sorts of thoughts came flooding in.

Su Ye first wrote a letter to Niedern, telling him in detail about Cromwell. Finally, he asked about the crow.

Soon, Niedern replied to the letter.

“You played a saint-level master? I applaud you!”

Su Ye looked at the magic letter, his mind filled with question marks. What kind of teacher was this?

Fortunately, there was no emoji pack, or else this teacher might have sent an emoji.

Not long after, Niedern sent the information about the warning Crow and said that there was no problem with this magic equipment.

It turned out that although this warning crow was only a black iron magic equipment, the difficulty in crafting it and materials required were equivalent to those of a bronze magic equipment.

After activating the warning Crow at night and using the black iron spell, the range and sensitivity of the warning bell would increase.

Su Ye could control whether the alarm bell was loud or silent through the alarm crow. Then, the alarm crow would secretly use magic to communicate with him, and only Su Ye would know.

This kind of magic equipment was difficult to make and produced in small quantities. It was rarely sold on the market, and usually only masters prepared it for their disciples.

Su Ye did not expect the alarm crow to be so valuable. He played with it for a while. “When I become a black iron mage, he have to use it often.”

These days, Su Ye often practiced drawing the black iron magic array diagram, and he was getting better at it. As long as he became an iron mage and had enough magic leaves, he could quickly carve the black iron magic array diagram.

Just as Su Ye was about to take off his Black Iron Medal when Niedern sent another magic letter.

“Cromwell really wants to win your favor.”

Su Ye was stunned. Was his teacher jealous? Then he had to comfort him.

“Yeah, but why do some people not even want to put in a little capital? For example, giving me a bronze magic equipment or something.” Su Ye began to “comfort” Niedern.

“I'll give you ten sets of mock exam questions for each subject.”

“If you do that, I'll go to the Noble Academy!”

Su Ye thought to himself that there were indeed only wrong names and no wrong nicknames. The nickname that the big chair gave Niedern was too accurate.

Su Ye returned to his bedroom and stared blankly at the magic book.

The magic book itself was a special magic equipment.

In Plato's territory, it could send magic letters and do many things.

However, after leaving Plato's legendary territory, many of the functions of the magic book would disappear. Moreover, every time it was used, it would consume magic power.

In theory, Master Plato had sworn that he would not read the contents of the book and would not deliberately monitor anyone through the magic book.

However, who did not have the desire to peek…

Su Ye decisively stopped this thought.

“Anyway, this world is full of magic. The fact that I have a storage space magic equipment will be exposed sooner or later. I don't want to think too much. I'll just try to avoid people when using it.”

Su Ye closed the magic book and put it aside.

Holding the Black Iron Medal in one hand and the warning crow in the other, Su Ye entered the ruins.

When he saw the altar again, Su Ye felt at home. It had been a long time since they last met.

Looking at the Black Iron Medal and the warning crow, Su Ye estimated in his heart.

“Although the black iron medal seems to be of low value, it is definitely not lower than a black iron magic equipment. It is worth more than 500 gold eagles. Needless to say, the warning crow is worth at least 1,000 gold eagles. If I include the Mana Source Badge in the future, I have gained quite a lot today…”
