Chapter 207: Old timers
Aur's footsteps seemed to echo across the entire place as the pin-drop silence continued, before he finally walked up to the stage with an expressionless face.
At that moment, Noah clapped with a warm smile on his face, firmly giving Aur a pat on the shoulder and praising him.
"Well done, young man. You are one of the fastest to break through the Tier One Wizard Realm," Noah commended, his eyes glinting with a strange light as he handed Aur the emblem proving his ascension to elder. The emblem was carved with a blue bird's sign.
"These old men wanted to inspect the strength of my physique..." Aur's heart skipped a beat. Noah's eyes hadn't flashed with any pattern, which technically meant he wasn't using any spell.
However, how could these old men assess his strength using such magical means without casting a spell?
Luckily, Aur had control over his muscles and was able to demonstrate to Noah that his physical might was only comparable to the Mid-tier One Wizard Realm!
Suddenly, Aur remembered the woman he had met at the pleasure palace, who had used a strange power to drain his energy. Although the power that was returned seemed beneficial to his body, recalling this made Aur feel a chill down his spine.
"Is it an illusion? No, it can't be. Although my attribute might not be enough if I wanted to defend myself against a tier three wizard spell, however when I was in the pleasure palace with that woman, she couldn't have illusioned me. Looks like I have to go back to that place again," Aur thought, his mind racing.
With these thoughts flashing in his mind, Aur nodded his head and handed back the emblem that Cameron had delivered to him.
The emblem Aur had was actually temporary, however it held all the authority of a normal elder but could be only used for a limited time and these time was the expiry date.
Noah took the emblem, and it suddenly disappeared from his hand.
"Young man, you are strong in sheer physical strength. I have to admit, if we were to compete in sheer raw strength, I might lose if I don't use spells," Noah praised Aur repeatedly.
"Thank you, Leader," Aur replied with a smile, returning the sentiment.
Suddenly, Aur noticed Anne's expression change from shock to realization, and then to horror.
The man beside her appeared even more aghast, his nervous expression evident as he slowly distanced himself from Anne. His steps were so slow that it was almost imperceptible when he had already moved far away from her.
Meanwhile, the other two individuals, not being foolish, quickly realised that pursuing Anne would likely result in their demise without mercy.
Without hesitation, they both turned and left, their departure even more direct than the first man's.
"We can have countless womens, why should we risk offending an elder for her…"

By the time Anne turned around, seeking support, she found herself alone. She felt isolated, like a fish out of water nobody talked to her.
Her expression gradually turned to despair as she looked around, realising the extent of her mistake.
At these moment, She knew she had thoroughly fucked up!
Even the friends she had made and all the other people she was familiar with stopped talking to her, completely ignoring her even if she yelled as if she were invisible to them.
With her having offended an elder, she would never be able to make new friends, and the resources she would receive would gradually start to thin out since she wouldn't be able to complete any quests alone.
Anne couldn't do the quests alone, and in the end, she might not even be able to reach the Tier One Wizard Realm in the future with even her middle-grade mental space which was actually bigger than even Aur.
Anne became expressionless and quietly left the place.
Aur could see all these charades, however, he didn't care to stop them, nor was he interested in intervening as he returned to his place. Immediately, he was swarmed by the younger generation.
"Aur, I didn't expect you to be the dark horse at all. You were even able to reach the Tier One Wizard Realm."
"Your might is unparalleled. I know that even with less talent, you have achieved such a state. You are truly a dragon among men."
"So handsome."
Instantly, people started to butter him up, and Aur accepted the compliments with a smile on his face.
Internally, however, he was sneering. These people only acted this way because he had stair and power now, and being in a favourable position in Aur's eyes would definitely be beneficial for them.
Aur looked around and noticed that only young faces were trying to butter him up. As for the older generation, they remained silent the whole time, not even paying attention to him.
"Oh, they don't want to acknowledge me, huh?" Aur mused to himself after a little thinking.
After all, these old timers must have been eyeing the position of an Elder for a long time, and upon hearing the news of an Elder's demise, their greed would definitely overtake them.
Although there was a requirement that the Elder must be a Tier Two wizard, there was always an exception.
After all, all Tier Two wizards were either already older or held higher-ranking positions and couldn't be bothered with the position of an Elder.
There was an old man with long flowing purple hair and sharp eyebrows, his piercing eyes giving him a heroic appearance as he stood beside the others, fully engrossed in conversation and completely ignoring Aur.
However, his gaze would glance at Aur every now and then.
"His face seems to be familiar…." Aiden Smith muttered to himself, feeling a sense of dread and fear creeping over him.
He was one such individual who had desired the position of the Elder for himself.
However, his anger flared when he learned that the position of Elder had been given to the younger generation.
Naturally his wrath couldn't be contained and he wanted to look at which junior he was.
After all, if the elder position fought it out then he also had a chance to gain it as long as tier two wizard didn't intervene.
As an old instructor, Aiden had already reached the peak of Tier One and was just one step away from taking that final leap to reach the Tier Two Wizard Realm.
His experience far surpassed that of the common instructor, and even his combat prowess could be considered top-class.
Naturally, if he could secure the position of Elder, then he would be able to break through. But now, a young brat has taken the position...
However, that wasn't the reason for his fear. It was because he saw a shadow of someone familiar in Aur. His facial features and hair bore an eerie similarity.
Of course, he had already known who was going to be the Elder and had already conducted research.
He knew that Aur was Adam and Evelyn's son—the same individuals he had forced to take forbidden spells for the village and sacrificed their lifespan for.
He didn't care for these mere insignificant creatures; they were just dust in front of him. After they were used, they could be casually discarded and never used again.
However, now that Aur had reached the position of Elder, there was always a chance of revenge, and revenge from an Elder was terrifying.
If you don't strike now then later it would be too late to regret it!
Thinking of this, Aiden muttered in a cold tone, "These guys must be handled."
As Aiden glanced at Aur, Aur also naturally gazed back, causing Aur's crimson eyes to narrow.
