Chapter 1118: Section 696: Malin and the Sea (Part 2)

Sage Lin sat down in front of the instrument, beginning to connect with the Sage Tower’s line number. Today was the gathering of the Eleven Sages. Due to the death of Sage Chao in battle, only ten Sages participated this time.

One of the topics for discussion today was to whom Chengshan would pass on as an Apprentice.

No matter which Sage it was, they wouldn’t let her, a mere child barely out of her teens, undergo such a cruel surgery. This was an adult’s privilege, not suitable for a child.

Thus, she must be assigned as an apprentice to another Sage—Sage Lin herself was inclined to accept her. As the oldest living Sage, she felt that if her Chief Apprentice became the Chao family Sage, the child Chengshan could take over her role.

Although this child always aspired to become a Sage, Sage Lin always sensed that her fate did not lie in this realm; she should have a brighter future. Becoming a mechanical being was not suitable for her.

So if she could become Sage Lin’s Apprentice, the child would at least have ten more years. By the time Sage Lin, due to her advanced age, must choose a successor, the child should be able to make a decision.

By then, whether she chooses to marry or become the new Sage, it will be a decision made by an adult in her twenties—such a fate should be chosen by an adult for themselves.

Therefore, in the meeting, Sage Lin was prepared to express her views.

The second topic for discussion was the Westland envoy. These Westland envoys were invited by the Sages with intention. In the intelligence report from the previous envoy who visited Westland, the Sages saw a medieval Westland, with a heavy sense of history overwhelming them. All the acts taken by the chaotic ones over the past few centuries left the Sages astounded. So, the Sages wanted to make these impoverished relatives of the Western Human World understand that their stagnation amounted to nothing in the eyes of the Thanan.

But who would have thought that when the Thanan intelligence team set foot on Westland, they would discover a child named Malin who almost single-handedly transformed the entire Westland in a mere decade.

The Sages believe that if not for the presence of Chaos, this child would have long since raised the flag of revolution.

What also surprised the envoys was that this child had appeared during the Blood Night of New Bangkok.

He saved the entire city at that time, and to allow this True Lord to become the Rightful God, Sage Chao specifically promoted his faith in New Bangkok.

After receiving the intelligence, the Sages eventually decided to expedite the dissemination of the faith.

Facts proved that this step was indeed correct.

When the new envoy team entered Westland, they heard about an extraordinarily powerful young Legend, and people were speculating why this young man was so strong.

No one would know that it was the Thanan who helped him achieve legend, igniting the divine flame.

At the same time, the Sages ordered the envoy team members to lure him to the Eastern Human World, intending to draw Malin, this variable from the Blood Night ten years ago.

This success left the Sages pleasantly surprised, though it was a pity that Sage Chao never got to witness it.

Fate marked the end of his life, and now he could only merge into the great database... but it was at least better than dying in vain.

One can die, but it must be a death with value. In this regard, Sage Lin felt she must salute Sage Chao.

May she, upon her passing, also enter the great database, may Thainan grow stronger, and may civilization be rebuilt.

With Sage Lin’s prayers, the interface at the back of her head opened, and the data cable in her hand connected.

Everything before Sage Lin’s eyes turned gray in an instant, the whole world devoid of color. In her room, one Sage after another appeared before her.

"Good morning, Sage Lin, how are our guests?" The first to speak was a small child, this was Sage Yu, possessing the bloodline of a Domestic Fairy. His lineage only selects Apprentices from Domestic Fairies because these small beings have served the Thanan for eight millennia. Their talent in magical tools is worth granting the title of Sage, and their performance has not brought shame upon the Sage profession.

"The guests are doing well. As for Malin’s lineage, we can now fully confirm that he is not a Domestic Fairy but a child born from the union of an Outer Domain visitor and a Frost Giant." Sage Lin answered Sage Yu’s most pressing question, which led the little Sage to sigh somewhat displeasedly, but he quickly switched his mood: "I have seen the intelligence brought back by the envoys. He has offspring with a Domestic Fairy from the Western Human World, right?"

"Indeed, I have also seen that report. That information is accurate." Sage Lin nodded, already aware of what intention Sage Yu had in mind: "Speaking of which, Sage Yu, you better not plot anything against the child. Lord Malin’s family has at least three Legends, and we should not lose our sanity over this matter."

"Ah, my dear Sage Lin, how could you think we would have designs on that child? I just want my clan to, if possible, come into contact with that child. All we need is to obtain genetic material from him and have a child, so that way the Eastland’s Domestic Fairies will also have truly noble and powerful bloodlines." Sage Yu had clearly thought far ahead, and he even had paper and pencil in hand, writing something down: "Of course, if we can directly obtain his genetic material, that would be even better."
