London, England.
"The latest Twilight series of tarot cards, limited edition."
"The latest TV series 'Love at Dusk' will be officially launched at 8pm tonight..."
"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk. The latest 5A-level masterpiece 'Twilight of the Gods' will be officially released at 9 a.m. in three days..."
"..."
Opening his computer browser and simply searching for the word "dusk," Lockhart watched as a large amount of related information containing the word appeared instantly.
When adjusting the search to filter for the last month, even more results emerged.
Various news related to dusk constantly displayed on the screen.
As the mouse slid, Lockhart looked at the computer screen in front of him, frowning slightly.
There were many ways to collect information, but gathering it from the Internet was the simplest and most efficient approach.
Just from what he'd seen, Lockhart discovered that a large amount of dusk-related information had appeared on British networks in the past month.
Of course, maybe it was because he had searched with "dusk" as the keyword, and naturally everything seemed to be related to dusk.
However, things related to dusk had appeared across a wide range of channels such as movies, TV series, and games.
This was definitely not a coincidence.
At this moment...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a knock on the door. After Lockhart called for them to enter, Ian, Remy, and the other three walked directly into the house.
"Teacher, is there anything we need to do?" Ian asked very calmly.
Remy and Vera on the side also looked at their mentor, with doubts and expectations flashing in their eyes.
"Mobilize all available sorcerers in the Vientiane World to do one thing."
Hearing this, the nerves of the three students immediately became serious.
Mobilizing all resources meant there was no doubt that this matter was extremely important.
"What I need you to do is find out whether any twilight-related events have been held recently in all cities, towns, and villages across the UK."
Having said this, Lockhart paused and seemed to think of something.
"Focus on exploring some remote, sparsely populated places as well as large population centers."
"Everyone should bring combat puppets. They are just for exploration. If any abnormalities are found, activate their self-destruct sequence. Don't act without authorization."
When he emphasized the words "don't act without permission," Lockhart's tone was unquestionable.
He didn't want to alert the enemy.
Although he guessed that David might have prepared to be discovered, the later the other party realized they were being watched, the better it would be for Lockhart.
"Twilight?" Remy was a little surprised and said with a hint of uncertainty: "Teacher, if we're talking about dusk, we have indeed discovered some things before."
Hearing this, Lockhart set his sights on Remy.
Remy thought for a moment, seeming to arrange his words, and said: "When I was in the Wizarding World, I lived in London, so after coming to this new world, I consciously explored the differences between the two Londons."
"Although there are many similarities between the two cities, such as some buildings and well-known places."
"But there are still quite a few differences."
"Maybe because the wizarding world has the Ministry of Magic, the government there knows very little about supernatural things outside their domain."
"But the British government in this New World seems to have many extraordinary projects being pursued."
"I normally don't care about these differences, but when you mention dusk, something comes to mind."
"The British government seems to have started a project called 'Twilight Warrior,' which is said to have consumed a lot of resources."
"However, I don't know much more than that."
"After all, I'm not particularly interested in government affairs."
Hearing what Remy said, Lockhart looked at him intently.
What was Remy doing with information about the British government?
But he didn't think too much about it. After all, his students had their own things to do, their own plans and ideas.
As long as it didn't affect him, it didn't matter.
"Okay, I understand. Remy, you will continue to be responsible for this. Compile and summarize any relevant information for me in the future."
Lockhart still trusted his students.
After all, he had cultivated their character himself and knew their temperaments and abilities very well.
What's more, magical branding, magical contracts, and other means were enough to reassure Lockhart of their loyalty.
"Yes, Master!" the three said in unison, and with Lockhart's slight nod, they turned and left.
They would prepare to complete their mission.
Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while!
Lockhart was still very interested in the prototype of the dimension.
After all, this was the foundation for becoming a god!
However, the attitude of the Sorcerer Supreme towards the prototype of the dimension...
Kamar-Taj, Bamboo Forest Tea Room!
Arnold, the guardian sorcerer of the London Sanctum, stood quietly aside.
Looking at the Sorcerer Supreme standing in front of the window, he lowered his head slightly to show respect.
"Lockhart told you David is going to become the Twilight God?"
"Yes, Sorcerer Supreme," Arnold nodded and said with certainty.
He was not stupid; this matter obviously involved the Dimensional Evil God.
Mephisto had appeared, and there might be other evil gods still lurking in the dark.
To rely on the London Sanctum alone would be suicide and irresponsible.
It wasn't like he had no powerful allies.
The Sorcerer Supreme, the nemesis of evil gods, was the protector of all Kamar-Taj and the three major temples.
As long as the Sorcerer Supreme took action, Arnold believed that all conspiracies and plans would be as fragile as paper tigers.
"Lockhart said that fallen sorcerers like David need the faith of the British?" At this point, a hint of a smile flashed in the Sorcerer Supreme's voice.
"That's what he said." Arnold, who had a keen sense, noticed the change in the tone of the Sorcerer Supreme. "Master, is it possible that the information provided by Master Lockhart is incorrect?"
"That's right," the Sorcerer Supreme said calmly.
"Then, do you think it's necessary to adjust Kamar-Taj's response? After all, an evil god is involved."
At this point, Arnold paused slightly: "Do you think you need to visit the London Sanctum yourself?"
As the old saying went, as long as the Sorcerer Supreme took action, then all problems would cease to be problems.
As for whether summoning the Sorcerer Supreme before the matter escalated further would appear to be overkill—
Arnold didn't care about that.
He was almost a hundred years old and had seen enough to know what mattered.
The sky was big and the earth was big, but it was better to live to see another day.
He wanted to continue living, and he also wanted all the sorcerers under him to survive safely.
In this case, there was no room for pride.
As the saying went, if a tree has no bark, it will surely die; if a man has no shame, he will be invincible in the world.
Regardless of whether there was real danger or not, it was better to take precautions.
"Mobilize Kamar-Taj's sorcerers to go over. If possible, I won't go over yet."
"Recently, I need to stay at Kamar-Taj on guard. There are still unusual movements in the dimensional gap."
Hearing this, Arnold showed a look of disappointment on his face, nodded, continued to chat for a few more moments, and then turned and left.
Well, he thought, Kamar-Taj's battle sorcerers could be considered a formidable force.
It was a pity the Sorcerer Supreme wouldn't be coming.
Looking at Arnold's departing figure, the Sorcerer Supreme's eyes seemed to be contemplating something.
Lockhart, how would you choose?
