Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 556 - 554: The Heritage of the Centaur

Chapter 556: Chapter 554: The Heritage of the Centaur

Centaur castle.

Not long after entering the castle, Ivan had sent the Clan Leader Tanaya away and occupied a larger courtyard by himself.

“Sorcerer Ivan, I’m sorry, I didn’t know the Centaur Race had become so disreputable,” Angie said with a face full of shame.

“It was a good show to watch, wasn’t it?” Ivan laughed.

Hearing this, Angie felt even more ashamed.

She had never expected that her brother’s wedding would be tainted with controversy. If she hadn’t returned in time, in a few years, when her father died from his injuries, who knows what would have become of her family.

“Go and catch up with your family, it’s been so long since you’ve all seen each other, you must have a lot to talk about.”

Seeing that Ivan truly didn’t mind, Angie suppressed her other thoughts and left to find her family.

Having been away for over ten years, Angie of course had much to learn about, like why her brother Leowen looked the way he did, and why she hadn’t seen her sister Jona today.

“Hee hee, I didn’t expect you to be so compassionate towards women,” Tanaya said teasingly as she watched Angie’s disappearing figure.

“That’s because you don’t know me well, I’ve always been compassionate towards women,” Ivan didn’t deny it at all.

Hearing this, Tanaya rolled her eyes. This guy really dared to say it, he didn’t hesitate at all when rejecting her in the past, though he was still someone who remembered old favors.

“If I were you, earlier you should have taken the chance to subdue the entire Centaur Race and take this place for your own. That way, your purpose for coming here would have been fulfilled, lacking neither servants nor subjects for experiments.”

“That would be too boring.”

“You’re not satisfied with this place?”

“It’s too far from the underground passages, and it’s too close to the southern border. Currently, it’s not suitable as a base. Moreover, compared to picking up what’s ready-made, I prefer to build a base from scratch.”

Indeed, as Tanaya had thought, Ivan had really considered making the Centaur Basin his domain, but after weighing it again and again, he still chose to give it up.

Firstly, for the reason he just mentioned, the distance from the passages is too far.

Secondly, thousands of years ago, humans and Centaurs actually had a pact, and at that time, humans had received many favors from the Centaur Race. Now, to turn around and eradicate the Centaurs, it really goes against morality.

Now that he was an Arcane Wizard, many of his actions could represent all of humanity, a point he had to consider.

Thirdly, after all, Angie was his woman, and he needed to give her the respect she deserved.

“Whatever you say.”

Compared to establishing underground residences, Tanaya was more concerned with when Ivan was going to ascend to Knight King. She originally thought that once they arrived at the Centaur Basin, Ivan would stir up a big battle.

On the other side.

Angie was talking to her father, mother, and brother.

As Elder Thor had not returned before and hadn’t sent any messages back, Tanaya and others had always thought that Angie, like those who had left in the past, had perished somewhere.

Angie’s return this time was unexpected by everyone.

Faced with these concerned gazes, Angie did not hide anything and briefly described the series of events that had occurred after she had left this place.

“I see, you’ve really had a tough time, Angie.”

Only then did Tanaya realize how many dangers his eldest daughter had faced, nearly dying several times.

“After meeting Sorcerer Ivan, my situation has been very good, and I’m just a step away from being a Sub-Knight King,” Angie shook her head and showed a sincere smile.

“Your judgment of people is better than mine as a Clan Leader,” Tanaya said with emotion.

Subsequently, the two inevitably talked about the legacy of the Knight King and the ancestral Centaurs, as well as the sudden shattering of the Monument of the Gods.

Regarding this, Angie didn’t keep anything to herself either and explained the matters concerning the legacy of the Seven Gods Mountain.

“Ah! It’s not others to blame, only our own lack of strength.”

It’s a lie to say it doesn’t hurt, but what could Tanaya do when the opponents didn’t need to lift a finger to destroy some of the best in the tribe?

He could only accept the reality.

Centaurs were no longer what they used to be.

“Leowen, what happened to your body?”

Seeing the atmosphere turning heavy, Angie shifted the topic.

“I was severely poisoned, but it’s much better compared to a few years ago,” Leowen said with a bitter smile.

“Poisoned?” Angie immediately thought of Lucas, who had just been recklessly arrogant, and her gaze turned stony.

“It’s not what you think, Leowen overestimated his own abilities which led to the current dire consequences,” Tanaya noticed his eldest daughter’s thoughts and quickly explained from the side.

After listening to her father’s recount, Angie realized that she was somewhat related to the matter.

Her departure and her death had affected her brother Leowen and sister Jona, causing them to develop a different spirit.

One after another, the two secretly gathered a group of young Knights, trying to leave and venture out to restore the Centaur Race’s glory.

As one could imagine, the results were disastrous.

One ended up severely poisoned, and the other disappeared without a trace.

Following these two incidents, the remaining spirit of the Centaurs completely dissipated, leading to a further weakening that could simply be described as a total collapse.

“Leowen, you and Jona did well,”

Angie fell silent for a moment before finally looking at her brother with approval.

“It was me who was exceedingly overambitious,” Leowen had been deeply affected back then, and it was only after Jona made the same decision that he began to recover.

“No, you were just born too late, into a situation that was already beyond salvage. The fault isn’t yours,” Angie shook her head, then announced some good news:

“I almost forgot, we cleaned up the area on our way here, everything there has been completely dealt with.”

The group was stunned, not reacting for a moment.

Until Tanaya stood up.

“Angie, are you serious?” he asked, holding Angie’s hand.

“Mhm, we managed to clear everything without even needing Sorcerer Ivan. You can send someone to check if you don’t believe it.”

Angie understood why her father was so agitated; after all, it was a major problem that had troubled their tribe for hundreds of years.

“I believe, I believe,” Tanaya was very trusting, especially since with that esteemed person at Angie’s side, cleaning up the Hunters outside was indeed not difficult.

The three of them were deeply moved, and they began to talk more and more.

“Angie, tell us the truth, what does that esteemed person require by coming here?” Eventually, Tanaya asked nervously.

“I originally wanted us all to join Sorcerer Ivan, under his patronage to seek an opportunity for our tribe’s rise. Now, I think it’s better not to. We Centaurs don’t deserve it, let’s just survive here from now on, no need to ask for too much.”

“What?”

This was what Angie said, and it left the three of them stunned once more.

The next day, Ivan received a secret map concerning a possible hidden place and a fragmentary book that recorded some matters about the Knight King.

These were obviously the remnants preserved by the Centaur Race, scanty and precious.

As a sorcerer who believed in equivalent exchange, Ivan healed Tanaya’s wounds, cured Leowen’s poison, and also left behind a sophisticated Knight Breathing Method.

A few days later, the group left the Centaur Basin, and at Angie’s earnest request, two more Centaurs joined their team.
