After Iris left, Silo's stomach began to ache. She could feel her intestines churning, the pain almost making her cry. The intense pain almost made Silo faint, but her willpower was strong enough to keep her going.

After a while, Silo's forehead became covered in dense sweat. She felt her body on the verge of collapse, and her consciousness starting to blur.

After a moment, Silo's stomach stopped hurting. After resting for twenty minutes, the pain in her stomach returned.

This cycle repeated over and over again, torturing Silo to the point where she wished for death.

"Emperor of Demons! I curse you, I curse you!" Silo angrily shouted.

But right after she finished cursing, Silo's head began to ache. The intense pain made her feel as if her head was about to explode.

Because Silo had Iris' blood servant mark on her, everything Silo did was seen by Iris.

At this moment, Iris sat in the house, leisurely sipping the green tea in her cup and eating grapes, enjoying herself.

When Iris snapped back to reality, White Stork had already devoured all the food on the table.

"White Stork!! Are you a greedy snake?? You eat so fast and so much!" Iris angrily shouted at the empty plates.

"Well, I am a snake, and as a demonic beast, I naturally eat a lot," White Stork blinked its snake eyes and said.

Just as Iris was about to scold White Stork, the latter opened a star gate and hid inside.

Iris shook her head helplessly.

...

Inside the teaching building of Tian Du Academy, a group of students were training on the playground.

Elaine sat on the high platform, watching the younger students suffer under the torment of their devilish teacher.

Elaine was now a Forbidden Spell mage of the Thunder element, ranking top hundred in the Thunder element academy.

Two months ago, she had broken through to the Thunder rank, and this time she awakened two more elements: the Space element and the Rock element.

Although she had multiple elements, except for Thunder and Ice which could be used in battle, the Plant element and the Healing element were only intermediate level three. The remaining four elements were at beginner level two and couldn't be used in battle.

All eight elements required resources, which Elaine couldn't afford, so she could only focus on cultivating a few useful ones.

Compared to ordinary mages, Elaine had more choices. Sometimes Elaine wanted to drop out of school and return to her master's side. Night White was no longer here, and staying at the school didn't have much meaning.

Her master told her to go on an adventure, but three years of adventure didn't mean much to Elaine. She had only learned some common knowledge about life, such as driving a magic car and teamwork.

"After the secret realm, I will go back to my master's side." Elaine muttered to herself.

...

Davis was in seclusion, trying to break through the bottleneck and advance to the next level. However, he had been stuck and couldn't make progress, making him anxious.

Among students of the same age, Davis was one of the top talents, and he couldn't believe he was stuck here. If others could do it, so could he. This time, he was determined to break through!

Similarly, Starry Glass was also in seclusion, but she didn't feel as much pressure as Davis. She just needed to calm down, focus on cultivation, and with the Starry Sea left by Night White, she would definitely be able to break through as a Forbidden Spell mage.

The students in the same period as Night White were all working hard to reach the level of Forbidden Spell mages before the secret realm opened, as this would give them a better chance of survival in the secret realm.

The only person still wandering around the school was Minel. Whether he broke through or not didn't make much difference to his own strength. He was a Warlock System mage, only able to do divination and predict others' futures. If Minel was a citizen of White Stork, he might end up as a diviner when he grew up, whether he was accurate or not remained to be seen.The remaining two specialties of Minel are the Plant System and the Healing System. Both of these specialties are non-combat oriented. Any high-level mage who can use form technique can easily chase after Minel. Even if Minel has now broken through the Forbidden Spell and become a Forbidden Spell Mage, even if he awakens the Thunder System, there is not enough time for him to advance the Thunder System to a high level. After entering the secret realm, Minel still has no means of self-defense. Minel's magic specialty is destined to be a logistic personnel. He also wants to act together with Davis and Devon. The secret realm is full of dangers, and if they encounter enemies, Minel won't be able to help, after all, Minel's main specialty is the Warlock System, with Healing System as a secondary specialty, and the Plant System as an additional specialty. The healing effects are not as good as those of students who specialize in healing magic, and the control skills are not as good as those of students who specialize in the Plant System. In short, Minel's position can be replaced by anyone. Although Minel's main specialty, the Warlock System, has divination abilities, it is unstable, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and it's not as reliable as having a Thunder System Mage. If they encounter strong enemies, Davis and the others can protect themselves, while Minel will become a burden to them.

"Ah~" Minel let out a deep sigh and muttered to himself, "As a mage, I'm really a failure. It's better to be an ordinary person who can't awaken magic like before."

Minel felt a bit desolate in his heart. He wandered around, trying to find something interesting to distract himself. He couldn't see any of his former classmates on the streets, only freshmen wandering around, expressing their frustrations to each other.

Minel's gaze suddenly stopped at the display window of a shop. The display window was filled with all kinds of accessories, such as flower crowns, necklaces, rings, earrings, etc. The dazzling array of colorful little trinkets was overwhelming.

"How much is this?" Minel picked up a pair of delicate and exquisite earrings and asked the attendant next to him.

"Sir, this is a unique accessory of the Elven race called 'Elven Earrings.' It is a specialty of the Elven race," the attendant introduced respectfully.

Upon hearing the attendant's words, Minel nodded and said, "Please wrap it up."

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment," the attendant said, then picked up the earrings from the display window, put them in a box, and handed them to Minel.

After receiving the earrings, Minel paid and the attendant returned the earrings to him. Minel put the earrings into his sleeve and left the Elven accessory shop.

Minel already had the idea of giving the earrings to a friend.

"I wonder if she's in seclusion or not." Minel muttered to himself.

Soon, Minel arrived at Count Karami's mansion. It was already nearing sunset.

The butler pushed open the door slowly and said to Minel, who was standing outside, "So it's young master from the Meredith family who's visiting."

"Yes," Minel replied softly.

"Please come in."

Minel walked into Count Karami's mansion and the butler led him into the living room. He then brewed a pot of tea and served it to Minel.

"Young master of the Meredith family, please enjoy the tea," the butler said respectfully.

Minel looked at the teacup in front of him. The faint aroma of tea filled the air.

Minel took a sniff and then picked up the teacup to taste it.

The butler smiled as he watched Minel finish the tea and poured another cup of tea for him.

"May I ask what the young master of the Meredith family is here for? If you're looking for our second young miss, she should be in seclusion. If you're looking for miss, she should be at school," the butler said to Minel.

"I'm not looking for Xingli and Linda. I wanted to ask if Miss Rhea is here. Xingli told me that she has been living here," Minel said to the butler.

The butler was slightly stunned upon hearing Minel's question. He muttered to himself, Does this young master of the Meredith family have a liking for Miss Rhea?

"Miss Rhea left Count Karami's mansion three days ago and hasn't come back since. I don't know where she went," the butler said to Minel.

"She left the mansion? Where did she go?" Minel frowned and asked."I don't know about that," the butler said.

Minel remained silent for a moment, then said, "When Miss Rhea returns, please inform me."

Afterwards, Minel walked towards the door. Once outside the gates of the Count's mansion, Minel wondered where Rhea could have gone. Was she uncomfortable staying here?

Minel pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out where Rhea had gone. Deciding to stop thinking about it, Minel headed straight for the school.

...

Nai and Shi arrived at the survey site of the secret realm. Ruins littered the area, a desolate and lifeless sight.

Using the power of the sequence, Nai sensed the location where the secret realm would appear. The magical energy here was extremely chaotic, making it impossible to detect anything at a greater distance.

"Nai, come take a look at these broken stones!" Shi called out to Nai.

Nai quickly flew over upon hearing this.

He reached out and picked up a broken stone, carefully examining it. After a while, a look of shock appeared on Nai's face.

"This isn't something from this world! These are broken stones from the Wasteland World!" Nai exclaimed to Shi in disbelief.

Nai then spread out his bone wings and flew up into the sky, carefully investigating everything around him. Gradually, his face grew solemn.

Afterwards, Nai descended slowly and stood beside Shi.

"The secret realm that will open in mid-March might be a passage to the Wasteland World," Nai said with an uncertain expression.

Upon hearing Nai's words, Shi showed a hint of surprise on his face. "Is the Wasteland opening so soon?"

"Yes," Nai nodded.

"But His Majesty's power hasn't fully recovered yet, and my demon soldiers are all in the Abyss Prison, with most of them still lacking physical bodies," Shi worriedly said.

"There probably won't be a war in the short term. After all, those Wasteland folks fear us, and they have no knowledge of the recent war between demons and angels," Nai said.

"I hope so. I just hope more of our fellow brothers and sisters can wake up soon," Shi said.

"Don't worry, I believe His Majesty can lead our demon clan to victory this time," Nai reassured Shi.

"I hope His Majesty can find the key soon," Shi nodded.

"That day won't be too far away, but I'm afraid it will take our demon army even longer to fully recover," Nai said with bitterness.
