Wizard Immortality

Chapter 70: The Shadow of the Criminal Wizard丨Family Apprentice丨Above the Rules

Conditions for entering the Snow Mountain Trading Market.

Vic drove high.

but.

He did not reveal his full strength, only saying that he could make some simple first-level alchemy items and had some knowledge of potions.

even so.

In the view of manager Caden Sears, the value of the family's partnership with Vick remains enormous.

The fact that Vic can make encrypted alchemical rings alone can bring huge profits to the family and the trading market.

The glorious old land of the West.

There are many mountains.

The Snow Mountain Trading Market is the only one within a thousand miles.

Free wizards who come and go can only choose to trade with them, so they don't have to worry about business.

but.

Negotiations still need to be held.

There was a fierce exchange of words.

The terms were agreed.

Because he was entering the trading market instead of accepting offerings, Vic exempted the Sears family from their annual labor fees. In exchange, one-third of the Sears family's library would be opened for him to study.

Besides.

There is an additional condition attached by both parties.

The Sears family invested one thousand soul stones every year and asked Vic to mentor a talented young man in the family.

Vic agreed readily.

Compared to trading.

The Sears family spent soul stones and Vic provided alchemist guidance, which was more like a means for the two sides to get closer.

future.

Vic will be at the Snowy Mountain Exchange for a long time.

Befriend the Sears family.

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Teaching young people to learn alchemy is a simple task, and you can earn a net income of one thousand soul stones every year.

After the terms were agreed.

Carden was in a very good mood for the moment. He had recruited a first-level alchemist for the family, which was a great achievement and he would be rewarded and given benefits afterwards.

For a while.

His attitude towards Vic became more and more enthusiastic, and the two of them talked about everything.

If other people saw them, they would think they were good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

When talking about the increasingly rampant robberies in the glorious old land in recent years, the smile on Carden's face suddenly disappeared, and he looked worried.

Even the tone of his voice when speaking was mysterious and fearful.

"Alas, Your Excellency does not know.

The order in the glorious old land has always been stable, and robberies rarely occur. But more than 20 years ago, a criminal wizard of unknown origin suddenly visited.

The man's methods were cruel and bloody.

Although he was only a first-level wizard, on his first day here, he performed it in front of several second-level wizards from the Mechanical Suspended City.

Killed a senior level one abruptly.

Not only did he steal the treasure, but he also escaped unscathed.

Even the spirit of the wizard who was robbed was strung on a leather rope by the other party using an evil and abnormal method, and floated behind him. "

Under the rules.

A wizard's spiritual body is not a soul and cannot survive without a physical body.

But the criminal wizard's methods are extremely strange.

It's not surprising that there is a way to store the wizard's spiritual body.

but.

Vic felt something was amiss.

When he was in Death Rift, Black Tower Academy was wanted for a criminal wizard, Amiya Vergara.

even.

He had worked with that woman for a period of time.

The wanted case ended up in nothing.

He originally thought that the Disciplinary Committee of the Black Tower Academy had handled the matter properly, but now it seems that the criminal wizard mentioned by Kaden Sears.

It's most likely Amiya.

But this is just Vic's guess and has not been confirmed.

He then asked for some more details.

Kaden responded with a serious expression, "I was not present when he robbed the Mechanical Floating City, and I only found out about it later from what others had to say.

It is said.

That person constructed the knowledge system of the bloodline school. His combat power was terrifyingly strong. He single-handedly fought against three second-level wizards, but he still escaped.

The wizards who were present at the time saw with their own eyes that the man had a leather rope hanging around his waist, and tied to the rope were the spirits of twenty to thirty wizards.

Just like balloons of different colors, floating in the air.

Look closely at the past.

Those balloons also had the terrified expressions of captured wizards, which was extremely weird and scary. "

At this point, Carden felt that he might have spoken too seriously, and hurriedly explained, "Your Excellency, don't worry. The Snow Mountain trading market is limited in scale, and there are very few treasures coming in and out. Ordinary criminal wizards will not attack us."

In general.

Market managers rarely talk down to themselves.

But facing a powerful and treacherous criminal wizard, this was the only way he could give Vic peace of mind.

If not.

If the other party runs away overnight, they will suffer a huge loss.

He was right to worry.

Vic was indeed considering whether he should move to another place.

But the reality is cruel.

If you want to leave the glorious old land, you must cross the sea of storms.

With his skills as a first-level wizard, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

The Death Rift is too barren.

Although Vic has a rich reserve of knowledge, if he does not accumulate soul stones now, he will be promoted to the first or even second level of seniority in the future.

Once there is a large demand for soul stones, it will be too late to earn them.

And what Caden Sears said was true.

If he were a criminal wizard, he would have taken the same risk. He would not have robbed the Mechanical Floating City and the Krama Sect, but came here to rob a small place like theirs. He would have gone far away and there would be no profit at all.

but.

The horror of criminal wizards.

Don't rob once or twice.

Instead, it is like a swarm of locusts that passes through and destroys order.

This change is not evident much in Death Rift.

Once a world reaches the level of the Glorious Old Land, its existence will cause catastrophic damage to rules and order.

As long as the criminal wizard lives, he will die.

There will be no peace in the glorious old land.

If the situation cannot be controlled in the end, I am afraid that the entire glorious old land area will be completely looted by the other side, killing and robbing everyone.

but.

These things have nothing to do with Vic.

He is a free wizard with no worries. When the time comes, he can just find a deep forest in the mountains and dive into it to avoid it.

A few days later.

Vic's alchemy workshop successfully opened in the Snow Mountain Trading Market.

The Sears family also followed the agreement.

Bring three young wizard apprentices with excellent talents in the field of transformation for Vic to choose from.

Two teenagers.

A young girl.

After the three of them worked for a while.

Vic chose a diligent and taciturn boy to stay.

The boy's name is Kevin Sears.

Although he has average talent, he studies hard, has a strong determination, and never slacks off when working in the workshop.

at this point.

Vic admired it very much, as it reminded him of his days at Black Tower Academy.

The strong do things.

It all depends on mood.

Vic thought Kevin looked pleasing to the eye, so when teaching him, he was not perfunctory and allowed him to ask questions once a month.

The treatment he received was much better than that of the serf girl Qiao when he was a freshman at Black Tower Academy.

Although Kevin remained silent, his words and actions became more respectful to Vic.

Three months later.

someday.

Kevin found Vic with questions in his mind.

meet as planned.

He can ask questions once a month.

"Lord Vic, there is a question that has troubled me for a long time. I hope I can find the answer from you."

Vic stopped what he was doing.

He glanced sideways at the half-grown boy.

He has a clear face, a thin body, but a firm look in his eyes, short brown hair, and looks extremely capable.

"Just ask."

Wait until permission is granted.

Kevin bowed respectfully, then raised his head and looked Vic in the eye, saying respectfully, "During this time here with you, I have gained a preliminary understanding of the basic principles of chemical reactions in the potion-making process.

But I still don't understand.

Where does the wizard's power come from?"

Kevin's question.

Vic couldn't help but look at him more.

If an apprentice does not have a very high level of comprehension, he or she would not be able to think of such a profound question.

Since Vic had agreed to answer questions once a month, he would not be perfunctory. After a moment of silence, he said, "The answer you want to know is cruel.

You now have a chance to regret it."

For a true wizard, the unknown will only inspire curiosity and fighting spirit.

Kevin responded in a firm tone, "You once said that the path of wizards is cruel and ruthless. Now that I have embarked on this path, I will not back down."

The lights in the workshop are very bright.

But there was dead silence.

The light was white and extremely cold.

Vic looked calm and ruthless, looking down from a high position, and replied, “All mysterious forces have existed since the beginning of the universe.

All we can do.

Only discover, summarize, and finally use. ”

Vic's answer was very bland.

But Kevin is very insightful.

It breaks at one point.

Although he once admired the supreme power of wizards, when he actually came into contact with them, he suddenly discovered that it was completely different from what he had imagined.

just now.

Vic gave him a definite answer: rules.

Rules are everywhere.

Although Kevin was mature and sophisticated, he was still young and energetic. He seemed unable to accept this reality and continued to ask, "So, wizards can only live under rules throughout their lives.

Is that right?

Lord Vic."

Answering questions once a month is the rule set by Vic.

But the problem with teenagers.

It touched his heart which had not changed in thousands of years.

So Vic made an exception and answered his second question.

"No."
