Chapter 180: A Firm Legacy

Chapter 180: A Firm Legacy

When he mentioned those words, a hint of naturalness flashed across Claude’s face, but it was quickly covered up by him.

“Is that so? Logically speaking, it should be about time. When I heard them discussing changing the method, I don’t know whether they changed it or not. It has nothing to do with us anyway.” Claude continued to look down at the book in his hand.

“But the question now is, don’t you want the magic faculty to return to everyone’s sight?” Audrey asked.

It was this sentence that made Claude’s hand, which was flipping through the pages of the book, stop completely.

He does not want the magic branch to return to everyone’s sight?

How is that possible?

Ever since the Templar Knights had been established, Claude had stayed in the magic branch. He had personally witnessed the process of him going from glory to ruin. From the first straight building to the last few dirty rooms.

Claude had been guarding this place throughout the whole process. He had never changed his mind.

Someone had come to persuade him that with his achievements, he could find a more leisurely job. There was no need for him to guard a branch that was about to disappear from everyone’s sight. He would die alone.

But to Claude, what he stood for was not his faith alone, but the faith placed in him by countless seniors.

Although all the books stored here looked ordinary, each of them was an extremely rare treasure in that era. Claude did not want to see such important information. No one had passed it down, he also did not want to see it gradually decay.

Claude’s hands on the table tightened slightly.

“Audrey, you have to know that the situation is much more complicated than you think. Furthermore, I have no way of making decisions on such matters. After all, I… am just an old man who is standing guard here,” Claude said with a wry smile.

Audrey lowered her eyes and felt a ball of unyielding fire burning in her chest.

She knew what the old man in front of her was feeling right now, and she could understand why he was so hesitant.

It was because both of them were people who had a great love for magic. It could be said that the two of them could sacrifice everything, including their lives, for magic.

But now, looking at the things that they loved, they had become like this. No matter who it was, they would feel great heartache.

“Senior Claude, I know what you’re thinking, so I was thinking, why not take this opportunity to let magic completely return to everyone’s sight?” Audrey said.

Claude slowly shook his head. “Audrey, you’re still too naive. You don’t know what magic has experienced. I’ve personally seen it go from its peak to where it is now. That’s why I know magic the best.”

“Senior, actually, I know the reason for its decline,” Audrey said firmly, “But you should know that it’s just an accident. It’s impossible for us to suffer from Qi deviation like that when we cultivate normally.”

Claude was stunned for a moment. He looked at Audrey as though he wanted to find some clues from her face.

But soon, he lowered his head and gave a wry smile. “It seems like that matter has spread among your students.”

Audrey did not answer.

“Actually, I understand the reason. With your current realm, you should know what the situation was like. It’s just that… the king refused to let us pass.”

“The losses caused back then were really too great. Even a rich country like ours couldn’t bear it. After all, there aren’t many countries that can bear such a loss. Countless outstanding people have all fallen, resulting in no one above the Monarch level appearing for a long period of time after that.”

Although Audrey could imagine what kind of bloody storm it would be after the Qi deviation, she did not expect it to be so serious.

Even people above the Monarch level… did not exist?

“You must know that magisters are extremely powerful existences, to begin with. In addition, after Qi deviation, their strength has increased by several times. No one can withstand his attacks. Even I was lucky enough to survive during that period of time.”

“You should be very clear that Qi deviation is mainly because you don’t have enough control over your spiritual power…” Audrey still wanted to persuade him.

She really wanted to lead magic to the world.

However, she did not expect Claude to only look up at her.

“Since you’ve already said it to this extent, I’ll be frank with you. In today’s society, as long as something related to magic is involved, everyone will be despised, even if it has nothing to do with magic.”

Audrey’s breathing paused, the old man in front of her continued, “You should know what I mean. I just hope that you can walk on the right path and not waste your life in a place that is about to be buried.”

“Senior Claude, I understand.” Audrey bit her lower lip. When she raised her head again, her beautiful eyes were filled with determination.

“Please believe me. One day, I will lead magic to everyone’s eyes and rebuild their understanding of magic!”

Claude closed the book in his hand and did not continue speaking.
