Albert Tarot

This former wizard advisor was never as simple as he appeared.

The Tarot family was an obscure little family in Sackland, and in order not to compete with his brother for the inheritance, he left East Sackland for Eboldon and became an apprentice at the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower.

It's not just about getting a job and having the capital to make a living in this world, Albert Tarot also had ambitions.

He wanted to be one of the twelve patriarchs of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, and he wanted to step into the court of the Heavenly Dome Palace one day as a wizard...... Do things that others dare not think of to prove your abilities.

Simple, but ambitious.

Once upon a time, Albert was a man who was very good at drilling... While the wizarding world has many disciplines, the only ones that are truly valued are the occult, ancient runes, alchemy, and history...... The first two were revered by Ebolden as the foundation of the wizarding world, and the latter two could help him find a job in the land of Sackland.

But he chose prophecy and astrology... This was Albert's first gamble, and the two disciplines were sparsely represented by the severe repression of the Holy Cross Church, and few people succeeded.

He won the bet.

With his achievements in astrology and prophecy, Albert finally gained a certain place in the Nine-Pointed Star Wizarding Tower, and his occult research was published to great acclaim.

Astrology and prophecy are only stepping stones, and the achievements of the occult are the foundation of one's own status... Albert was well aware of this.

But these two disciplines also became a big problem for him - just as Albert was about to become a mentor in the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, Ebolden received a serious protest from the Church of the Holy Cross, insisting that Albert was suspected of "ideological corruption".

At that time, Ebolden was not the city of wizards, and in the face of protests from the church, Albert was exiled...... Thirty years later, he returned.

Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower.

No one knows what Albert has been through in thirty years, but the Wizarding Tower has given the title of "Patriarch" to the unassuming wizard in just one night.

But this wasn't Albert's prime... Only two years later, Albert had arrived in the imperial capital of Golovin, and after meeting with Eckhart II, he became the first wizard to enter the Imperial Cabinet.

From obscurity to fame, thirty years of exile...... Albert Tarot, who is not good-looking, but like a gambler, paved the way forward with gambling again and again.

Albert fulfilled his ambition and became the first wizard to enter the Heavenly Dome - but what he really wanted to do, no one knows.

What happened during his thirty years of exile, no one knows.

The Church of the Holy Cross, which should have protested the most, chose to remain silent, acquiescing in this fact in front of Eckhart II along with the old-fashioned nobles who were originally ready to stand up for protest.

Even Brandon could only guess that there were some secrets hidden in this former wizard advisor, and even the reason why Eckhart II brought him into the cabinet was not pure... But this seems to have been the norm for a long time, what wizard doesn't have a single secret in his body?

....................................

The last time I felt this way was a long time ago......

Not the slightest bit of power, not the slightest remnant of the void, couldn't even tell if the surrounding ice fog was just a distorted reality.

The vision in front of him gradually became foggy and hazy, and even the old man's expression could not be seen clearly... Gritting his teeth, Loren's mind went blank, but it was clearer than ever.

This power... It's definitely not something that ordinary wizards can have......

The plan failed.

The black-haired wizard shivered from the bitter cold, the surface of his boots and clothes had begun to freeze, and his breathing and heartbeat were getting more and more rapid.

The other party unveiled the last hole card, and now he doesn't know what to do.

"Master Albert Tarot......" Loren almost gritted his teeth before he allowed himself to complete this sentence in the "severe cold" of the glacier and snow-capped mountains:

"You... Ever been to the Dragon Kingdom?"

The moment he heard this name, the old man's face actually showed a trace of confusion.

In the hall of the ice cave, only the unnatural wheezing sound of the black-haired wizard could be heard.

"You mean... Is that the kingdom that was destroyed by the sorcerers because of cannibalism?"

He knows?!

The dazed-looking black-haired wizard gasped, doing his best to keep himself calm.

Stabilization......

The more times like this, the more you can't panic......

"Loren Turin... I've been to places you can't even imagine, and I've seen beings beyond this world... You can't imagine how many pairs of eyes in this world are watching us small and worthless beings. ”

Alberd frowned, and his raised right hand folded slightly: "This is not my intention, but I am doing this for the sake of the Sakran Empire... I can't refuse a kingdom where wizards are no longer ostracized, and they won't be ruined because they are not regulated......"

"If you've actually seen the Dragon Kingdom with your own eyes, you should know what I mean......"

Loren clenched his teeth, his body was still trembling involuntarily, and he still couldn't feel any power of the void.

Of course I do, and I was told it myself.

"Stop resisting in vain. The old man spoke slowly, as if with a hint of pity: "This mansion and even the surrounding streets are all within the scope of my spiritual radiation... Until I decide to stop, you will never feel the power of the Void. ”

"Rather, this is the nature of the power of the Void... The strong will have absolute suppression of the weak, and it just so happens that my inhibition... Directly from the Void itself. ”

"Ending Fantasy ...... with Fantasy"

"Destroying Nothingness ...... Nothingness"

"This is the first gift given to me by the evil god who brought me back from the dead. The old man spoke in the calmest tone, "As for the second one... is a prophecy ......"

Demon... Prophecy?

Loren felt like he wasn't supposed to know more and more.

"I won't kill you, Loren Turin, but I'll destroy your temple completely, and it will erase some of your memories. ”

With each sentence, Albert's expression became more solemn: "But as long as that person succeeds and reconciles the church and the wizard, then all the sacrifices are worth ......"

"Really?!"

Enduring the cold, biting pain, the black-haired wizard suddenly opened his eyes.

"If you really believe that this kind of thing is possible, then why would you wait until the end to make this decision?!"

Albert's eyes were calm, and he sighed slowly: "Because I saw the possibility in that person......"

"Really?"

Loren, whose teeth were chattering, repeated it again, and spoke slowly but resolutely: "Then I will also tell you a 'possibility' - that is, the world never turns because of someone!"

"For wizards, the moment it rises when it is born, it is a matter of course, and it is not affected by any one person or one thing. ”

"In the same way, as an existence that is out of step with this world, the journey of wizards is destined to be bumpy... Again, it's not something that one person or one thing can change. ”

"I've visited the Dragonlord's Tower, Master Albert. ”

At that moment, the old man's gaze froze slightly.

"If this ancient kingdom has taught me anything, it's definitely not the blame-shifting that wizards will be the trigger for the destruction of the country. The dark-haired wizard's voice continued:

"We have to be cautious in the face of every big decision and change...... That's what I learned, that's what they taught me. ”

"I know you must have this wish in your heart...... It can completely change the status of the wizarding class, but what you may not have noticed is that the status of wizards has changed little by little over the past few decades, and no one can stop it. ”

"So I implore you... Make the most prudent decision, if that 'possibility' can really help you achieve that wish, why would you hesitate to the end?"

“......”

"At least... Can you hear me finish?"

“......”

"We have three quarters of an hour left, Master Albert. ”
