Ethan felt that Lindong might have some misunderstanding about the concept of "moving history."

First, she stared at Ethan with a surprised look for quite a while. After making some mental preparations, she resolutely lifted his right hand, quickly sniffed it in front of her nose, then seemed relieved as her brows relaxed.

"No, what I meant by 'moving history' isn't what you're thinking."

It seems the people in this world are too simple, even Lindong doesn't appear to have been influenced by the internet. Ethan had to spend another ten minutes explaining his strategy on the Siwalant border in detail to Lindong to prevent any strange perceptions.

"What you said..."

After listening carefully to Ethan's explanation, Lindong's expression became increasingly serious, "Isn't that just what Sincaro and his believers did in the past?"

On hearing this, Ethan came to a sudden realization.

No wonder everyone speaks ill of Sincaro. Old Ba even set the final exam essay topic as 'Why Sincaro is a pile of rebuttal' to remind people of Sincaro's nastiness.

"This issue is very serious!"

Lindong pulled a stern face, insisting that if Ethan had to learn from some Evil God, it ought to be Old An or Old Ba. Whether as a lover or a teacher, she absolutely didn't want Ethan's future relationships to become like Sincaro to the point where even passing dogs want to kick him.

It's been months, and Ethan has become increasingly unruly. This bad student must be properly disciplined!

...

On that day, some rumors spread around the academy.

A traveler witnessed Ethan at the Teleportation Array, and it seemed he had an unpleasant conversation with Lindong. The travelers saw Lindong finally forcefully grab his arm and drag him back to her residence in the academy. Some curious students heard strange noises coming from the residence.

Furthermore, someone researched all night, unaware that dawn was approaching in the east.

According to the reliable information brought back by this single and nosy student of nearly twenty years, Ethan should have been hit by Lindong.

Although he couldn't observe the scene in the room firsthand, the sounds suggested a fight, no mistake about it.

The next day, Ethan went out with black eyes, which further deepened the credibility of the rumor.

Look, he was hit in the eye.

Whether students or professors, none were surprised. If it was Lindong, she indeed might do anything.

Ethan couldn't understand why students and professors along the way were staring at him with sympathetic eyes. He originally wanted to sleep in, but the King of Gold and the guild still had some unresolved affairs, and now was not the time to rest.

For example, Investigator Soo was still in the academy, and there were remnants of the King of Gold. They hadn't disappeared since the King of Gold died in the year 407. All of this was his way of connecting with the guild.

In a certain sense, Ethan's focus on the magicnet exceeded that of many professors and students in the academy. For them, it was a way to further advance and break the drought of Saints that had lasted hundreds of years. However, after learning about the existence of the guild, it became a source of all dangers and truths.

There are several guild members at the same level as the King of Gold, and various signs show that the combat ability of the King of Gold definitely wasn't considered strong among them.

After learning about the King of Gold's death, the next guild elder who came here via the teleportation planes probably wouldn't be someone lacking practical experience, only relying on energy and authority like F2A. Furthermore, they likely wouldn't hide in the shadows playing with conspiracy like the King of Gold did, attempting to summon the Goddess only to shoot themselves in the foot.

Besides, there's the King of Gold... or the fleeting memories of Song Xian.

Many came with him, all from the same place.

That looked like a human experiment, involving some massive force.

So what about him?

Was it really as he hypothesized, dying suddenly at home from overwork on his way back home?

When he found Soo, this Investigation Guild member who replaced a student was walking on the way to class while holding an Alchemy Magic Book. She was also one of the few whose memory hadn't been rewritten by time authority.

However...

As a marginalized individual in the guild, she had been wholly focused on the academy courses these days. Occasionally, she felt that accepting her current identity, studying as a student in the academy until graduation seemed like a good idea.

With a privileged background and exceptional talent in Elemental Magic, the Electric Element course professor was optimistic about her. He even suggested recommending her for a job at the Ministry of Magic after graduation.

As for the dispute between the King of Gold and that 404 creature, there's no need for her to worry about it or intervene.

And just not long ago, Soo perceived a leap in the timeline.

The ubiquitous golden radiation dissipated, and the sky restored to its normal color.

This also meant the outcome of the dispute was already determined. Thus, she instinctively opened the investigator's query page. Though she had been anticipated, when those lines of text appeared, her heartbeat inevitably paused for a half-beat.

"Administrator King of Gold, deceased."

But immediately, her attention was drawn to another unusual piece of information.

——"Nearby contactable investigator: 1."

"Investigator information: Yoda."
