Chapter Seventy-Seven: Stein's Past (Part II)

When Andy heard the news of the "Castron's Secret Realm", he couldn't help but think of the "Castron's Medal" that Stein gave him at the beginning, and when he heard that that the secret realm could help him survive the Soul Illusion, he finally understood Stein's intention for giving him this medal in the first place.

In this way, the reason why Viscount Colin and his son did not hesitate to bloody Phillips Manor to get this badge in the first place is clear. I just don't know how their father and son knew the function of the badge.

Andy thought about it again, and the most likely thing was that Viscount Colin consulted the Magic Mirror to find out.

Now Andy also feels that many of the functions of the magic mirror have not been fully developed. Mainly because this guy is a big eater of magic stones.

Andy decides that after he learns from Martin to build a solid foundation in witchcraft, he will start trying to make money. As for the way to make money, after thinking about the function of the magic mirror, he already has a little eyebrow in his heart.

Andy's mind raced, and Mr. Martin began to talk about what happened next.

After Stein broke through the Bronze Wizard, Martin and Brandon were very happy for him when they heard the news, and they wanted to wait for him to return to the royal capital to gather together to celebrate him.

Unexpectedly, before they could celebrate, they got the news that Stein had an accident again.

It turned out that among the students who entered the secret realm of Castron with Stein this time, there was a guy named Peter Clark, and Stein's ex-girlfriend Fra Orianna was now the lover of Peter's father, Professor Healy Clark.

At that time, there were three teams in the Grim House that entered the "Secret Realm of Castron", but less than a third of them were successfully promoted to Bronze Wizard and came out alive. So they only had one team on their way back.

That's when Stein met Peter Clark.

Peter Clark was born in the Clark family, one of the four major families, and he was a little arrogant, and he was already very dissatisfied with his father's lover, so after he recognized Stein on his return trip, he began to anger him, sneering at him, and his words were very unbearable.

Stein, who has not yet recovered from his love, is even more irritated by Peter, he already hates Healy Clarke, who robbed his girlfriend, and now he hates the old and small pieces.

Later, the conflict between the two escalated and finally developed to the level of a witchcraft duel.

So, the two of them engaged in a duel in the presence of their accompanying mentor and other newly promoted bronze wizards.

Although Stein's control of witchcraft is much better than Peter's, Peter was born into a large family, and he is covered with sophisticated rune equipment, coupled with endless scrolls and secret treasures, so he quickly gained the upper hand in the duel.

That guy even after Stein conceded defeat, he still killed the killer. If it weren't for the rescue of the accompanying mentor, Stein would have been killed on the spot.

As for Peter's behavior, the accompanying instructor lightly told him to "pay attention next time!" and then left it alone.

As for Stein, making sure that he didn't die on the spot, and the accompanying mentor, who was completely out of responsibility, stopped paying attention.

Thanks to Stein's good apothecaries, he carried with him many precious potions to heal his wounds. After saving himself, he managed to survive, but this heavy blow also left him with almost impossible sequelae to recover, and he was afraid that he would not be able to survive with the Silver Wizard for the rest of his life.

After Stein returned to the royal capital, Stein finally began to become disheartened after Brandon and Martin tried to help Stein seek medical treatment in vain. He applied for graduation and left Graeme College to return to his hometown of Dallas.

Since then, the three of them have not given up their efforts to find a cure for Stein's injuries, but unfortunately nothing has been achieved.

It wasn't until a few years later that Stein's messenger suddenly sent a message to Brandon saying that he had found a solution to his injuries, but that he needed some help from Brandon.

But Brandon was working on a very important experiment, but he still packed his things and prepared to leave the moment he received the news.

He entrusted some of the next steps of the experiment to Martin. Because Martin has a deep understanding of basic witchcraft knowledge after all, the knowledge of witchcraft experiments can be handled more or less.

Unfortunately, Martin was not as professional as Brandon in this area, and the experiment failed in the end, which made Martin deeply regretful, but soon he didn't care about regretting the experiment, because he received the news of Brandon's death.

According to Stein, Brandon was helping him explore the ruins, but after failing to crack the trap of the Witch Circle, he was devoured by the Witch Circle, and his bones were gone.

Seeing Stein's letter, Martin was sad and sad, but also felt an inexplicable irritability. This inexplicable irritability was familiar to him, and he felt this irritability whenever he thought of the wrong way of thinking when solving a witchcraft puzzle.

This sense of irritability was not Martin's natural talent, but an instinctive reaction that he had cultivated over the course of ten years of solving witchcraft problems.

Martin sensed something was wrong, so he took a leave of absence and made a low-key trip to Dallas, visiting the site where Brandon died as mentioned in Stein's letter.

There he found a problem. It was clearly a long-abandoned ruin, with some simple remnant witch traps, but it was impossible to get Brandon.

The quest for the lost is mentioned in the hundreds of books in the Victorian Dream Library. Martin had read hundreds of books.

Martin found traces of the activities of two men in each of these ruins. He observed that the two men did not come at the same time, but that one of them seemed to have set up something after he came in, and then clumsily hid his tracks and left. Then another person came back here, and in the traces left by the second person, he felt the breath of an old friend.

He could tell from the trail that the two men had been here for at least two years, and that he had never found any trace of Brandon's presence here, nor had he found any signs of a large witch trap erupting.

Although he didn't want to, Martin was already convinced that Stein was lying!

As the investigation ensued, a terrible thought kept coming up in Martin's mind. A week later, Martin was one step away from getting the definitive evidence to the truth about Brandon's death.

Martin was silent.

He suddenly destroyed all the evidence and returned to the royal capital quietly, never in touch with Stein's old age and death!

Since then, Martin has become a lot quieter. He put all his experience into study and research. Occasionally, he would think of the time when the three of them drank and chatted together, bragged and fart, and talked freely about ideal times.

Stein dreams of one day surpassing the Golden Wizard and dominating the world with beauty.

Brandon thought that through the attainment of the witch formation, one person could defeat a million troops. You can even open the path of the plane, and then go to the legendary plane to learn the more profound and bizarre witch circle.

Martin said at the time that he was going to put the entire Victorian Dream Library in his head.

In fact, he is about to reach this goal now. Because after studying and researching, he found that many things are interconnected, and many seemingly unrelated disciplines actually have deep connections and laws. Therefore, as he increased his knowledge, he learned more and more smoothly and faster.

After a heartbreaking experience, Martin's solid foundation in witchcraft led to a major explosion in his studies and research. Although he was still in the realm of the Bronze Wizard, he knew that as long as he wanted, the Silver Realm could be broken overnight, and the path of the Golden Wizard was clear in his heart.

Later, Healy Clark became the vice president of Graeme College, and Peter Clark also had a lot of power in the college because of the support of his family and the help of his father.

The small-minded Peter Clark thought he was proud and began to ostracize Martin again. After all, he and Stein were called the "Grim Three" back then, and most people knew about the relationship between the three of them. Many other teachers in the academy also contributed to it in order to please Healy Clark.

Martin's salary at the academy dropped again and again, and he eventually became a teacher teaching free lessons in the outer courtyard for a group of little kids. But Martin didn't know anything about it, and his research was now going on at a critical juncture.

He was creating a meditation method, a meditation method that he had synthesized from all the knowledge he had learned to cultivate all the way up to the Golden Wizard.

He had been doing this for several years, because he had not found the slightest knowledge of the realm above the Golden Wizard in the "Victorian Dream" library, and there was no record of the person above the Golden Wizard in history.

But Martin firmly believes that that realm exists, and that that realm is just another starting point for a higher realm.

Martin had had problems at times, and he had consulted with other faculty members in the college, as well as professors, and even Professor Healy Clark, whom he didn't like. On one occasion, he visited Rothman, the head of the college, with a gift.

But the result made him very disappointed, and most of them were exaggerated, and they didn't get to the point at all. Even Dean Rothman is nothing more than power. Healy Clarke, on the other hand, still seems to have some skills, but he is nowhere near enough to coach Martin.

After learning the entire "Victorian Dream" library, Martin had already had the idea of leaving Graeme House. He was going to find new knowledge.

He was no longer the boy who wanted to read the entire library, he was now just thinking about finding a holy place of knowledge, and then studying with peace of mind, relying on endless knowledge, to create a set of earth-shattering meditation methods, and go straight to the ultimate of the wizard's path!

Now he had an idea of where to go next. From an ancient book, he learned that there are endless planes in the astral plane, and among them is a plane called the Academy, where the entire plane is composed of countless witchcraft schools that are several times or even dozens of times larger than Graeme Academy.

It is a sanctuary of witchcraft knowledge, and countless geniuses and proud people of the plane have studied and studied in that plane.

Knowing the situation on the Academy's plane, Martin began to inquire about the way to that plane. Finally, two days ago, he got a ticket for an astral ship through the Night Circus.

He needs to go to the Victoria Islands in the west of the Duolun continent to board an astral spaceship called the Jerifisch. The ship is said to be there for a year, and now it is less than half a year before the ship takes off.

Martin was ready to go. Maybe it was providence, but I didn't expect to meet the disciple of the old man again when I was leaving, and I heard the news of the death of Stein, who had long been out of contact. That's why Martin let go of his atrium and planned to get drunk happily.

Regardless of who was right and who was wrong in the past, now that his friends have died, Martin doesn't want to pursue it anymore. He just wanted to get drunk and say goodbye to his past life completely.

Andy happened to be a witness to Martin's farewell ceremony.
