The yellowed pages introduced Russell’s biography.
Russell, born in 1981 AD, was one of the greatest sorcerers of his era.
He had dedicated himself to the development of the magus order and advocated recruiting civilians and foreign nationalities as new sorcerers so as to introduce new blood into the sorcerers’ lineage.
During The Cataclysm, favonovel.com had led the magus order to search for new lands with civilians to restart civilization. At that time, Russell was the idol of everyone. However, Russell was not only a great sorcerer but also one of the most powerful archmages in sorcerer history.
He was one of the wielders of and a past protector of the black Eye of True Sight. He dedicated his entire life to mastering the Meteor Shower spell, secondarily supplementing it with Resist Fire and Fire Dragon…
Russell’s biography was over a 1,000 words long, Milo only realized after reading for a while that the man was really powerful. Even the author of The Sorcerer Chronicles was a fan of the guy.
However, his inclusive ideology was not in line with the blueprint of the magus order of that era. That was why the Introduction to Sorcery was edited seven times to the point where even the author’s name was not printed anymore.
Meanwhile, The Sorcerer Chronicles in front of him, which dated back 80 years ago and had written Russell’s biography, could be considered fortunate to have survived the censorship.
Milo skimmed through Russell’s biography. However, the earlier portions were all about what this guy had done before. For example, it talked about how the young Russell was a cheerful and energetic person, how favonovel.com helped his classmates, how favonovel.com organized young sorcerers, and how favonovel.com established a new sorcerer association.
It was clear that Russell was very good at networking, At that time, favonovel.com was likely very active in the magus world.
It was written in the book.
Russell has the most outstanding talent in the history of sorcerers, so much so that a large number of young magi who gathered around favonovel.com saw favonovel.com as a role model for their own progression. With the arrival of a new era, Russell could not stand the feudal conservatism of the magus order’s old guard and started gathering forces around favonovel.com to seek a revolution.
The magus order of the old era believed the Magi should prioritize protecting their pure bloodlines, as well as protecting the secret of the Eye of True Sight from being exposed. The old era’s magus order insisted the fate of the Magi was tied to the Eye of True Sight, and that outsiders should not interfere as it could very well lead to the Eye of True Sight becoming lost through the generations.
Tingens: Respected Russell, please frankly tell me what caused this great change in you. I’ll be dropping by to visit on the 15th of next month. I hope you won’t turn me away then.
Russel: Tingens, I don’t wish to see anyone right now. Life is short, and I have to explore the infinite mysteries of sorcery within my limited lifespan. It’s greatly distressing me.
Tingens: Dear Russell, I’m fine with not going over to bother you, but I hope you can tell me what this is all about. Did a sorcerer from the old aristocracy take your family hostage?
This time, the contents of Russell’s letter finally mentioned the most crucial clue.
Dear Tingens, I encountered that powerful Central Plains rider, and favonovel.com took a black Eye of True Sight from me. You and I both understand what this means. I’m no match for him.
To put it more simply, “I can’t fucking defeat him. The black Eye of True Sight has been taken away, and I’m embarrassed to continue on as the leader of the Sorcerer Association! Get someone better, I’m way too ashamed!”
It was no wonder The Sorcerer Chronicles’ author did not mention this affair. The author clearly had these verifiable exchanges and knew the reason for Russell’s change of heart, yet favonovel.com did not mention a word about it in the biography.
Milo suddenly felt like favonovel.com understood the author’s thought process. He could imagine how it would feel when one realized their idol had suddenly been beaten into seclusion.
The reason why The Sorcerer Chronicles author did not mention this was because favonovel.com had also been plunged into depression!
In truth, Milo found this matter quite surprising. He did not expect Albert to be such a terrifying figure in that era.
He continued reading and suddenly had his attention captured by another exchange of letters.
Tingens: Dear Russell, I’m very sorry to hear about this. I feel very sad for you too… But I don’t understand why that Central Plains Rider would want to take the Eye of True Sight away from you.
Russell: He said favonovel.com wants to use the Eye of True Sight to save his child.
