Chapter 704 Who Would Dare to Stop Krassu?
The young magic caster’s words instantly drew a lot of attention from passersby.
“Master Krassu?”
“It really is Master Krassu!”
“Didn’t they say Master Krassu went to Chaos City? Why has he suddenly come here? And he’s riding on a horse-drawn carriage from the second prince’s manor.”
“I also heard that he accepted a half-elf disciple. A while back, Hank and George both went to Chaos City to challenge Chaos School, and they were both defeated by that half-elf in the end.”
“Really?! Wait... You’re not talking about that little half-elf girl beside Master Krassu, are you? She looks like she’s only three or four years old! Hank’s 4th-tier magic caster; how could he have been defeated by her?”
The Magus Tower had been founded by Krassu, and the moral code that had to be recited by all magic casters who entered the Magus Tower had also been written by Krassu. Even among the magic casters teaching magic in the Magus Tower, Master Krassu was the most talked-about figure aside from President Richard.
As such, it was very difficult for a magic caster of the Magus Tower not to have heard of Krassu, the founder of the Magus Tower, the number one melee magic caster on the Norland Continent, and the Lord of Fire.
Legends surrounding Krassu were constantly circulating among magic casters, and topics involving melee magic versus long-range magic or fire-type magic casters versus ice-type magic casters were extremely popular subjects for debates.
Krassu himself was known as a living fossil, and his feud with Urien was the stuff of legends in the magic world.
A while back, news had spread of Krassu and Urien both accepting the same disciple, and almost no one believed it. The battle between fire and ice had been raging for close to a century, and the two of them were sworn enemies; how could they possibly have accepted the same disciple?
However, this piece of astonishing news was soon verified to be true, and this confirmation had created a massive stir in the magic world. Many people were speculating about whether Krassu and Urien’s teaching would give rise to a super prodigy, or if practicing conflicting fire and ice magic would ruin their disciple.
After that, Krassu and Urien’s disciple forged a resounding reputation for herself by defeating Hank and George in battle, stepping over the faces of those two Magus Tower prodigies, and becoming the next big thing in the magic world.
From the time that Krassu and Urien had accepted this joint disciple, she had only been studying magic for just over a month before defeating the 4th-tier prodigy magic caster, Hank.
She was undoubtedly a superb talent.
All of the nearby magic casters bowed respectfully to Krassu, but all of their attention had been drawn to Amy. The widespread consensus was that she was very likely to surpass even Princess Irina in the future, and everyone wanted to see just what this supremely talent prodigy looked like.
A female magic caster was looking at Amy with a hint of yearning in her eyes as she sighed. “She’s so adorable! Not only is she a prodigy, she’s also so cute, just like Princess Irina as a child. I’m so envious!”
Another female magic caster wore a completely entranced smile as she chimed in, “I know, right? I really want to hold her in my arms and pinch her little cheeks. They must be super soft.”
“Don’t even think about it, Big Sister! When I get angry, I’m super fierce!” Amy hid her body behind Mag as she offered up Ugly Duckling with both hands, and said, “If you really want to pinch something, then pinch Ugly Duckling.”
“o((⊙_⊙))o” That was the expression on Ugly Duckling’s face. It seemed to be saying who am I? Where am I? What are those terrifying women going to do to me?
“Even her kitten is so cute!”
The female magic casters’ eyes lit up even further, and if it weren’t for the fact that Krassu was standing right beside Amy, there was a good chance that they would’ve pounced on Amy.
“I’m scared.” Amy hurriedly drew Ugly Duckling back into her arms and completely hid behind Mag, not daring to come out again.
Mag also found these two female magic casters to be a little scary. He had thought that their trip to the Magus Tower would be a rather depressing one, but he hadn’t expected all of the magic casters here to be so reverent to Krassu. Even though he knew that the Magus Tower was his enemy, he felt rather welcomed, and it was quite a peculiar feeling.
Krassu was clearly also quite pleased with everyone’s reactions to his arrival. He smiled and waved his hand as he said, “Alright, go back to what you were doing now. If you have the time to stand around, you have the time to practice your magic.”
All of the magic casters dispersed at Krassu’s behest. Even though Krassu had no official disciples in the Magus Tower, all of the slightly older magic casters here had been instructed by him at some point, and they were the pillars of the Magus Tower. As such, no one dared to defy Krassu’s orders.
Only after everyone had left did Amy emerge from behind Mag. She looked up at both sides of Krassu’s face, and asked, “Master Krassu, I’m surprised everyone listened to you; do you really not have any tigers stuck to your face?”
Krassu seemed to be very pleased with Amy’s reaction. There was nothing that satisfied him more than being praised and admired by his prized disciple. After all, it was very difficult to earn a compliment from her. He stroked his beard with a smile as he said, “There are more impressive things to come. Let’s go in now.”
“Alright!” Amy nodded as she skipped along behind Krassu with Ugly Duckling in her arms, following him into the Magus Tower.
Mag tilted his back and looked up at the enormous Magus Tower. He could indistinctly make out a magic shield around the tower. It was supposed to be capable of withstanding 10th-tier attacks. However, the Magus Tower hadn’t been attacked for many years, so it was difficult to say whether this magic shield was still as effective as in the past.
I wonder if this magic shield will hold up in the face of a sword strike from Mag Alex in his prime, Mag thought to himself in a curious manner. However, he quickly withdrew his gaze and walked into the Magus Tower behind Krassu.
The two guards standing by the gates of the Magus Tower wore conflicted expressions on their faces. In particular, the leader of the guards was looking at the approaching Krassu, and his brows had almost completely knitted together.
News of Krassu’s withdrawal from the Magus Tower had been reported to all of the magic casters here. As such, Krassu technically wasn’t a Magus Tower magic caster anymore, and no one could enter the Magus Tower unless they were a member of the Magus Tower or had received permission or an invitation in advance.
But who would dare to stop Krassu?
He was a man who had destroyed the Magus Tower on two separate occasions in his fits of rage, and he was the one who had founded the Magus Tower in the first place. Who would dare to bar him entry?
The leader of the guards was a 6th-tier magic caster, and he could immediately alert many 10th-tier magic caster within the Magus Tower if the situation necessitated such an alarm to be raised.
However, he would rather face a violent 10th-tier giant dragon than face an enraged Krassu.
He couldn’t handle the blame for being responsible for the Magus Tower’s third demolition.
Furthermore, even if he could alert 10th-tier magic casters, as long as Krassu didn’t display any animosity, who would attack him?
But if he didn’t stop Krassu and the higher-ups decided to hold him responsible, he would inevitably be punished for shirking his duty. After all, the bad blood between President Richard and Master Krassu wasn’t exactly a secret.
Within a short span of time, the guard leader’s back was already completely drenched with cold sweat.
Right at this moment, a slightly jaded voice sounded. “Krassu, I didn’t think that you would come back.”
A purple-robed man with a head of white hair and a black beard slowly emerged from within the Magus Tower.
