Chapter 1009: Chapter 67: The Woman in White Robe

"But fortunately, all that is in the past now."

Isaac smiled helplessly and reached out to ruffle his milk-white curly hair. There was not a hint of gloom in those cat-like emerald eyes, only a shadow-like sorrow.

As he moved, the many geometric ornaments hanging on Isaac’s body began to collide with each other, emitting a crisp sound.

He revealed a satisfied smile on his face, "Salvatore is a good kid. Although ’Inertia Refinement’ is indeed difficult, even by my standards it is quite challenging to learn... But he is still studying earnestly.

"Salvatore wants to master this spell, which is very difficult indeed. After all, the successor to Heath Tower of Black demands goodness in the depths of the soul rather than unmatched talent, which is different from our Jade Tower. But it is precisely because of this that his earnest attitude is all the more precious."

He said this, and then suddenly, as if he had just remembered something, his face filled with a smile, "Right, I must give you a grand introduction to Miss Husky’s latest invention—new products called ’floating beds’ and ’air conditioners’!"

Afterwards, Isaac explained in detail to Annan about these two new products.

Even though this was a technology that Heath Tower of Black had already developed some time ago, Isaac still credited it as Husky’s invention.

Even if the core technology hadn’t changed, the packaging was indeed something different.

Just like how green fire is actually greatly diluted and inert black fire, but after all, these are two entirely different things.

Annan: "...Oh."

His expression was exceedingly complex.

Hearing the names of the air conditioner and floating bed, he could roughly guess what Husky had been telling Isaac. Looking at Husky, who seemed clueless but was nonetheless laughing joyfully, Annan sighed.

Well, that’s fine, too. It counts as a good plan, after all.

Isaac’s mentality of "heavily praising the junior he favored in front of the boss" was also easily seen through by Annan.

"As for technical optimization... I think it’s possible to contact the Tower Master of this generation’s Jade Tower. Look, Hugo has optimized his rituals with base plates. I think if we’re going for mass production and smart technology, we should probably use base plates."

Isaac gave his assessment, "Although Heath Tower of Black is very capable of cutting costs, this is clearly something our Jade Tower excels at."

"You seem to have quite a high opinion of this generation’s Tower Master of Jade Tower?"

"Objectively speaking, both Nicholas and I are definitely not a match for him. If Your Majesty has not heard of his name, it must be because he is researching some high-end technologies detached from the practical level, not because he is slow-witted."

The young man with milk-white curls said earnestly, "Since he is the newer generation’s Tower Master, he must be more outstanding than us. This is a basic rule of the White Jade Tower. When Your Majesty goes to the United Kingdom, you must take a look at the White Jade Tower... He will surely be of great help to you."

"I will," Annan nodded, asking with some curiosity, "But, are you saying that the succession of the White Jade Tower is purely based on talent?

"If Heath Tower of Black is the Tower of Sacrifice, then White Jade Tower is the Tower of Greed. What our White Jade Tower inherits is the most pure ’curiosity.’ It is the insatiable greed to grasp all secrets of this world in our hands and to constantly explore."

"Our proverb at the White Jade Tower is ’to sublimate everything to a more perfect realm.’ If Nicholas was wrong about something, it wasn’t that he killed me... but that he ignored the ’more’ in the proverb and sought absolute perfection.

"And this is also the reason why he was later abandoned by the White Jade Tower—not because he tried to create beings without natural parents. The White Jade Tower does not speak of such goodness."

Isaac’s expression grew serious, "You must be careful... not all Tower Masters are as full of goodness as Salvatore and Lord Hugo."

"I’ll keep that in mind."

Annan nodded earnestly in response.

Different Wizard’s Towers, inheriting different paths, huh...

He silently noted this reminder.

But for the current Annan, it was just a reminder.

After all, he had already reached the Gold Rank.

Holding the Book of Truth, a Gold Rank Transcendent... he was almost among the world’s strongest mortals, and only a few steps away from the Truth Rank.

If someone with less foresight seeks to trouble him...

Annan would never, and could never, be afraid.

—As he thought thus, a peerless radiance unconsciously emanated from his body.

The radiance formed a halo behind his head, and the white glow shimmering from his deep blue right eye made it even more brilliant than the gem eye on his left.

"It’s pretty impressive, I know you’ve mastered aura skills. Now you can tone down your Shocking Aura a bit... You don’t only have that aura, do you?"

Isaac said helplessly, "Since none of us harbor any malice toward you, it won’t affect us... but it’s not exactly polite to unleash Shocking Aura in public. Of course, it’s different when you need to demonstrate your majesty."

"...Then I’ll switch to this."

After a moment’s thought, Annan switched to his Healing Aura.

Compared to the Frost Aura, which would rapidly encase his surroundings in ice with just a hint of his murderous intent, and the Shocking Aura that burst forth with divine light when he got serious, the Healing Aura should be far less harmful.

With a mere thought from Annan,

The divine halo behind his head and the dazzling light emanating from his right eye simultaneously extinguished.

In its place, a gentle white light with a faint fragrance enveloped him.

It was a soft light that, even after a long stare, would never be dazzling or cause one’s vision to blur. Annan’s body even appeared somewhat translucent from afar due to this white light... making him look like jade.

Merely basking in that soft light allowed one to smell the delicate scent regardless of distance. It not only calmed the mind but also conveyed a sense of comfort throughout the body.

"...Is this Healing Aura?"

Isaac expressed some surprise, "That’s a rare ability."

"Is it rare?"

"Very rare. It’s not uncommon for Gold-rank Transcendents to have mastery over aura abilities, I believe around 40 to 50 percent do. But among those with aura abilities, maybe not even one in twenty would possess Healing Aura."

At this point, Isaac couldn’t help but laugh, "Or rather, only the White Jade Tower of Spring Island houses powers similar to these... Only their wizards who advance to Gold rank possess Healing Aura. But rather than calling them wizards, it would be more accurate to call them healers."

"Right, I’ve heard that before. They have the best healers there."

Annan nodded, complaining, "I had thought about sending my people to study at the White Jade Tower, but they wouldn’t accept them..."

"Ah, that’s easy. Just perform a ritual and you can go."

Isaac spoke buoyantly, "Because the White Jade Tower only accepts girls, and they also have to be attractive and well-tempered."

"?"

Annan voiced a silent question, "Why do such qualifications matter for recruiting wizards?"

That’s when he realized why his few older brothers had failed the screening...

Speaking of strange... In Annan’s memory, there should be quite a few girls who played the role of healers. But after arriving on the Foggy Continent, he had hardly ever seen any. Even those specialized in support magic were rare.

The most numerous besides warriors were wizards from the Disabling School and the Destruction School...

The only ones who possessed healing capabilities were those who entered the Foggy Continent with Husky and company.

"This is because the White Jade Tower is very special... It’s more accurate to say they are devotees than wizards. They follow the Lesser Deity of the Moth Mother, the Deity of Scissors and Healing, ’The Apothecary’. Even among the Lesser Deities of Moth Mother, the clergy almost exclusively admit women—unless it’s a man of self-purification.

"Of course, the ’good temperament’ they talk about actually refers to a calmer personality, which fits The Apothecary’s nature."

"The Tower Master of the White Jade Tower isn’t truly Gold-rank in the usual sense but instead achieves ’temporary Gold-rank’ through the aid of the Wizard’s Tower, similar to Ship in Stone Captain Selicia."

Isaac explained, "Strictly speaking, the White Jade Tower is a lineage of healers, not of wizards or sorcerers. They adhere to the ideal of ’cleansing this world of all illness and suffering’... so they don’t pursue ’power’ but rather require a considerable number of recruits.

"The most precious inheritance of the White Jade Tower is the silver-rank career ’White Robe’. Unlike other wizard towers, which focus on Gold-rank careers. The most recognized among the White Robes are elected as the Tower Master for a five-year term. They call her ’Mother’ or ’Matron’. However, this is just a title and not a professional name.

"If we categorize their spells by modern standards, they are probably from the Transformation and Idol schools. But actually, apart from spells, they also teach many kinds of knowledge—like how to use various potions from transformation products, and how to deal with some issues using herbs and surgery without spellcasting. They also possess divine healing arts, making them all-round specialized healers."
