Chapter 272: Chapter 274: Eye of Truth and Eye of Verity

"You know Andre?"

Munger looked at Farrete. Farrete nodded, his expression a bit awkward.

"Tell me, how do you two know each other!"

Seeing the awkward look on Farrete’s face, and recalling that Farrete had said he knew Andre, Munger instantly understood that the relationship between them couldn’t be very good.

Farrete looked at Munger and opened his mouth.

He didn’t want to talk about what had happened between him and Andre.

But now, Munger’s determined gaze told him he had to speak.

In the end, Farrete could only resignedly explain how he knew Andre.

"Well, how should I put it... Andre is something of a junior disciple of mine, I suppose."

"Your junior disciple? But isn’t his master Radak?"

Munger looked at Farrete and voiced his question.

"Please, let me finish first."

Farrete said helplessly, looking at Munger as he continued.

"This is what happened. He entered the academy fifty years ago, in the Senbai World. His Elemental Talent is the Thunder Element, and he also awakened a Talent Witchcraft, the True Eye."

"My teacher thought the True Eye might be useful for the expedition, so he took him on as a disciple."

Farrete looked at Munger and recounted the events that had transpired with Andre.

"Wait, that’s not right. If your master accepted him, then why is he Radak’s student?"

Munger interrupted Farrete, confused.

"Can you please let me finish?"

It was the second time Farrete had said this, and his helplessness was palpable.

"Fine, fine, fine. Go on."

Munger waved a hand at Farrete, gesturing for him to continue.

"So that Andre could play a greater role in the expedition, my teacher handed him over to Radak to build a solid foundation for him."

"Later, my teacher went to the Main Institute to discuss the number of people each academy would contribute to the expedition, so he let Radak continue teaching Andre."

"At the same time, my teacher had me give him a Meditation Technique. And just like that, he grew up under Radak’s tutelage."

"And after that..." Farrete hesitated, a flicker of reluctance in his eyes.

Seeing Farrete’s expression, Munger understood the source of the awkwardness he’d shown earlier.

"It’s like this..." Farrete then told Munger everything about Angelson’s treasure and what Selena, Rite, and the others had done in Secret Realm No. 1.

"Wait a minute, you!" Munger suddenly thought of something. He looked at Farrete and opened his mouth, incredibly angry, but ultimately clamped it shut.

"You people... You’re really something else, you know that!"

After composing himself, Munger jabbed a finger directly at Farrete’s forehead.

He poked him a few times, his finger nearly piercing Farrete’s forehead.

"What’s wrong?"

Farrete looked at Munger, not understanding why he was having such a strong reaction.

"You and your teacher, you’re both real gems, aren’t you? Hah!!!"

"No, no, please don’t be upset. Teacher already gave the order to have them punished."

Farrete thought Munger was angry because of what Selena and Rite had done.

"You don’t know shit! Radak’s master broke through more than twenty years ago and became a Red Sun Great Wizard."

"Now, half of the entire academy is in his hands."

"Of course, that’s not the main point. The main point is Andre."

"Why would your teacher hand over a new blood who had awakened the True Eye to that guy Radak!"

Munger’s words left Farrete dumbfounded for a moment, and he stared blankly at him.

"Is there something wrong with that?"

Farrete looked at Munger, completely failing to understand what he meant.

"Is there something wrong with that? Do you have any idea how great a loss your teacher’s actions have caused our lineage?"

"A loss?" The more Farrete listened to Munger, the more confused he became.

Munger looked at Farrete’s confused expression, let out a deep sigh, and immediately began to educate him.

"You said the kid’s awakened Talent Witchcraft is the True Eye, right?"

Farrete looked at the murderous expression on Munger’s face and nodded.

"Then did you know that three hundred years ago, a method was developed in the Wizard Ancestral Land to systematically evolve the True Eye?"

Farrete was stunned when he heard this.

"What do you mean by that?" Farrete was completely baffled.

"This method from the Wizard Ancestral Land can gradually evolve the True Eye into the Eye of Truth."

As Munger spoke, he started and stopped several times, choked back by the rage in his chest.

Finally, after taking a breath to compose himself, he looked at Farrete and said,

"It can evolve the True Eye into the Eye of Truth."

Farrete was blown away when he heard this.

"Wait, what are you talking about?"

Farrete looked at Munger, truly at a loss for words.

"I’m asking you, what can the Eye of Truth see?"

Munger sighed helplessly at Farrete’s reaction.

"The True Eye can see the trajectory of Magic Power as it moves through the world."

"Then let me ask you, what are Demon Patterns? What leaves behind the traces that form natural Demon Patterns? And where did the first Truths that Wizards grasped come from?"

When Munger asked these three questions, Farrete instantly understood what he was saying.

"You get it now? Too late!"

’No wonder that guy Sokra asked me to help find this little fellow. So this was the reason!’

At this moment, Munger was truly furious, while Farrete didn’t dare say a single word.

This was because the man before him, Munger, was a disciple brother to his own grandmaster, Lorne.

In other words, this Munger was his grand-uncle in the discipline.

"Now do you see how much our lineage has lost because of your teacher’s decision!"

Munger said to Farrete after calming down for a good while.

Farrete nodded timidly. By now, he understood what Munger meant.

True Eye, Eye of Truth. Though their names were deceptively similar, what the two types of Witchcraft allowed one to see was as different as heaven and earth.

The True Eye could see the flow of Magic Power in the world and also had some illusion-breaking functions.

The Eye of Truth, on the other hand, could directly see the Laws and Rules hidden in the deepest parts of the world.

And now, a person with the potential to possess the Eye of Truth had been pushed away by their own lineage.

If it had been any other faction, they could have traded for Andre, perhaps exchanging resources or exploiting an information gap to get him back.

But now, Andre’s grandmaster, Klein, had already become a Red Sun Great Wizard.

What could they possibly offer to make a Red Sun Great Wizard give up his disciple’s disciple?
