Passerby Villain In A Wizard World-Chapter 217: Celestial Council

"Hmm? Oh, he just told me you are a princess of a very popular merchant organization in Mystic Circle."

Ian replied with a smile,

"And from the way you carry yourself, he seems right."

Ian said while looking at the flowing wizard robe and a beautiful small staff at her side. Moreover, with all those glowing orbs on the rings on her fingers, he was sure that they were most likely some level of artifacts.

Not to mention the beautiful necklaces around her neck.

Seeing Ian's eyes wandering around her body, gauging the gears on her, Yela rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Okay, you don't need to signal with your eyes. I know what I am wearing, okay?"

Yela said while combing her stranded hair beside her ear.

"Although I am the sole daughter of the head of a merchant organization, I am not that good, to be honest. In fact, that guy Zane has a better background than me."

She replied lightly and asked,

"By the way, it wasn't wise to provoke that guy, you know. Although you seem to not take a First Ring Wizard seriously due to some reasons, he has some good connections in the Mystic Circle. It might cause you some problems when you arrive."

Yela looked at Ian a little interestingly, as despite being a Third Class Wizard Apprentice, he seemed unperturbed in front of a First Ring Wizard.

But as she said, Zane wasn't proud and annoying because of his own talent but because he had a good uncle in Mystic Circle.

"Huh? Do you mean to say all of us apprentices will be taken into Mystic Circle?"

Ian asked, raising his eyebrow.

From the event he remembered, wasn't Carl and the others selected to different organizations after going to Arcane Assembly?

"That would be the case if you guys arrived here after six months. But now that you all arrived early for some reason, you all will follow us to the Mystic Circle for now."

Yela replied and then smirked a little,

"What? Are you now afraid of a counterattack from Zane? Hehe... by any chance, do you need my help? But, like I said before, my help doesn't come for free, though."

She then giggled after seeing the surprised look on Ian, thinking that he might be pissing off Zane because he thought they were going to Arcane Assembly.

Arcane Assembly was basically an event conducted by the Wizard Organizations in Calvora Continent to select new seeds.

And it was conducted every ten years. That's why the departure of Ron this time was considered too early. And since this time around, it was Mystic Circle's turn to manage seeds from Gravethrone Continent, managing these apprentices also came to their head.

So, Zane wasn't lying when he said Ron might get punished if he didn't have a good reason for his early return. After all, Mystic Circle didn't want to babysit dozens of apprentices with low qualifications.

"Tch... I'm not afraid of him. But I do need your help, though. Let's talk about that after we arrive at the place."

Ian said, scanning the area around and asking what he wanted to know,

"So, can you introduce some basic knowledge about the place we are about to go? And how is the power structure around here?"

Although he had some knowledge, he wasn't completely sure.

It was better to ask someone native to this place. Moreover, it seemed Yela didn't mind, as even after arriving near the tent, she didn't leave immediately.

"Um... how to say, it is nothing new. Mystic Circle, where we are going, is an Intermediate Wizard Organization with two beings with Fourth Ring at charge. It is located in Arcane Highlands along with other intermediate organizations."

Yela continued,

"Oh, by the way, in case you didn't know, the Wizard Organizations on this continent are divided into Intermediate, Advanced, and Supreme according to their top power—Fourth Ring, Sixth Ring, and Eighth Ring, respectively."

"Hm? So, Mystic Circle is so low in level?"

Ian raised his eyebrows with interest. In the novel, besides Ron being from there, there was no further mention of it.

And Carl also directly participated in the Arcane Assembly, entering the Sixth-ring organization, Celestial Council.

"Low-level? We have two Fourth Ring Wizards in charge. Not to mention dozens of Third Ring, hundreds of First and Second Ring, and thousands of apprentices. What low level are you talking about? Do you still think like that?"

Yela rolled her eyes behind her glasses, appearing a little offended.

Wasn't Ian being too pompous now? Although there were many Intermediate Wizard Organizations on this continent, they were still considered the crème of the crop, as the more advanced organizations were truly too powerful and low in numbers.

Then, as if she understood Ian's thoughts, she looked at him again and questioned him with a hint of curiosity,

"Are you perhaps aiming to join a Sixth Ring Organization?"

Besides this point, she had no idea why Ian would consider Mystic Circle low-level.

"Yeah, I indeed has such plans. Have you perhaps heard about Celestial Council? I had a plan to join it during the next assembly."

Ian didn't hide it and told Yela the truth. Since most of the plot of the novel revolved around that organization, of course, he had to enter it no matter what.

He didn't have those useless thoughts like avoiding the plot or not involving himself with the protagonist, etc., etc. Instead, he was more eager to quickly go and grab all those opportunities before Carl did anything.

Otherwise, what was the use of him being transmigrated into a novel? He hadn't gotten to enjoy much yet.

"Celestial Council?"

Yela heard what Ian said and looked at him a few more times as if confused about where he heard that name.

"Of course, I know it is a Sixth Ring Wizard Organization. But..."

She paused a bit and continued,

"...are you sure you want to go to that place? Honestly, I'm not lying, but Mystic Circle is countless times better than that organization for your level, even though it is one level lower in grade."

Yela didn't question whether Ian could enter but genuinely advised against joining it.

After all, from the name, you could see it was made up of factions of Wizards.

Although it was a Sixth Ring organization, higher rank than Mystic Circle, practicing there might be much harder than here.

After all, Ian was truly at the bottom of the food chain there. Not to mention the constant war, disputes, and whatnot.

If you didn't have a better connection there, you wouldn't be able to move forward no matter how much qualification you had.

Even being a First Ring Wizard there was hard due to such a structure in the organization. So, she wasn't lying.

"Haha... I'm sure. I have my own plans, don't worry about it. So, do you think I can enter Celestial Council?"

Ian asked, as he himself wasn't sure. After all, he wasn't a protagonist, and his talents were, in a way, forged.

So, it would be better if Yela could give some solution.

"I don't know. If you ask about other Sixth Ring Organizations, I might give you some pointers, but Celestial Council is weird."

"They are a bunch of hodgepodge wizards gathered together. Honestly, you might have a chance if you manage to pique someone's interest."

Seeing that Ian had already made plans, Yela didn't say much.

Moreover, just like she said, joining a Sixth Ring organization wasn't Ian's choice, but theirs.

"Oh... then that's a bummer."

Ian was slightly disappointed by getting a negative answer from Yela.

'Sigh... I can't even use the same method as Carl to enter that place.'

Ian thought as he remembered that Carl was chosen not because of his talent but because of his unique physique, Golden Sunblood; a physique that had traces of solar essence and was immune to most poisons and corruption-based magic.

But until now, he didn't know what bloodline he had, let alone a physique, if there was any in the first place.

"Although I don't know much about the entry requirements of that place, I might know someone who can help you."

Seeing the disappointed look on Ian, Yela smiled a little slyly and took out the best part at last.

She was a daughter of a merchant, after all. Even if she was a wizard, she had some skills a merchant should have.

"Hmm? Do you know someone? That's great. Why don't you introduce me to your friend then?"

Ian was a little surprised by her revelation and directly asked her to introduce him as if he didn't notice the sly grin on her lips.

"You wish!"

Hearing him ask directly to introduce, Yela was speechless.

She found out that besides being pompous, he was also a shameless person.

"How can you meet someone just because you want to? Not to mention you are just a Wizard Apprentice. Not every Wizard is as amiable as Ron and me."

Yela pointed out,

"Besides, when you need someone's help, you also need to offer something first, don't you think so?"

She said with a smile, looking at Ian, who was acting as clueless as before.

"Hmm... you are right. Then, what do you need before you are willing to help me?"

Since acting dumb didn't work out, Ian simply asked. After all, he was also trying and didn't have much hope.

"Umm... let me think."

Yela acted as if she was thinking seriously, then suddenly smirked and said,

"You know what? I feel like there is nothing on you that interests me right now. How about you ask me again after you reach the First Ring Wizard level?"

She asked as if she genuinely thought that way,

"Let's do this, when you reach the First Ring Wizard level, you ask me again, and then I will introduce you to that person with a little fee. Okay, it is already so late, just rest a bit. I will send someone to notify you when it is time to leave."

Yela said everything in one go with a smile, turned around, and quickly disappeared from Ian's view. It was as if she was running away.

But Ian could still hear her giggle from afar.

'Tch... asking to reach First Ring Wizard level in six months? Playing smart, huh.'
