Wizard Immortality

Chapter 88 The Influence of Status and Connections

The ground port of the mechanical suspended city.

The scale is huge.

The daily cargo throughput exceeds 100,000 tons.

Because of the huge flow of people and complex identity backgrounds, there are many local gangs entrenched here.

and.

The Hanging City itself is a huge city with a population of over one million.

The regions are not coherent.

Different regions are highly regional.

What Locke found was a local organization called 'The Serpent Messenger'.

The head of the organization is a senior apprentice.

He has three wizard apprentices under his command.

There are a large number of knight followers and organization members.

The strength in this port area is unfathomable.

He didn't expect a local organization to have any news about a big shot like Vic, but at least he hoped to get a channel to find out the whereabouts of the wizard.

to this end.

He spent a huge amount of money, even a soul stone, to buy information about the other party.

But when the other party asked the reason.

Lorcan didn't dare to say Vic's name.

The terrifying experience of more than a dozen knights exploding into blood mist in an instant was still fresh in his mind, and according to his observation, his new master was extremely low-key and did not like trouble.

So he didn't dare to reveal Vic's identity.

He only said that he had a friend who worked in the Hanging City.

Subsequently.

At the other party's request, Locke hesitated for a long time, deciding whether to take out the ring.

Although he was worried about being ambushed, the gap in status and strength limited his imagination.

In Locke's opinion, it was impossible for Vic to give him something too valuable as a token of trust. Even the mysterious creations in the wizarding world were mostly cheap goods.

Even if you take it out, no one will remember it.

Think again and again.

He was now anxious to find Vic, lest his master get tired of waiting and come looking for him on his own initiative, causing him to die inexplicably.

Then he took out the ring.

For Vic.

He didn't care about the life or death of a knight.

But for Locke.

He dared not neglect the things Vic ordered him to do, for fear of causing displeasure to the other party and bringing disaster upon himself.

When we parted.

Vic asks Lorcan to find him with the ring.

This squire knight has taken it as his mission and has been riding non-stop all the way, not daring to be negligent in any way.

pity.

He still underestimated Vic's status and strength.

Locke could never have dreamed of it.

The wizard he was loyal to gave him things that were worth hundreds of soul stones and almost brought him death!
A few days later.

A knight who was in a dishevel, covered in wounds and even had one leg completely disabled, was walking with difficulty in the trading market of the Hanging City.

He turned pale.

There was still undried blood on his forehead.

Along the way, he inquired about the matter of first-level wizards moving into the Hanging City, but everyone around him thought he was a lunatic.

Until the Rectification Committee, which was responsible for maintaining the internal order of the Hanging City, arrested him and prepared to deport him out of the city.

Even though he had bad luck along the way and almost lost his life.

Locke never told anyone Vic's name.

When they first met, Vic's low-key but cruel image left a deep impression on Locke.

Like a huge shadow.

Lingering.

He wasn't sure whether Vic was living in the city in hiding.

That's why it's been a bumpy road.

Now they are being deported.

Locke, who had no other options left, told the senior apprentice who was trying to capture him the name of a man in desperation.

"My master is the wizard Vic! I was ordered to come here to find him!"

The apprentice naturally had never heard of Vic's name.

But the first-level wizard who led the team was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and quickly raised his hand to signal his subordinates to stop. He turned around, frowned, looked at Loken, and said, "Are you sure that your master is the wizard Vic? Do you have a token in your hand?"

Mention the keepsake.

Locke smiled bitterly, and suddenly felt desperate, and said, "I was robbed on the way here."

but.

The first-level wizard who led the team did not continue to embarrass him.

He then whispered something in the ear of an apprentice.

The latter's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly let go of Locke's arm, his eyes full of shock.

The first-level wizard signaled his subordinates not to seek justice, frowned slightly, and asked, "Who stole your token?" Loken remained silent and did not answer.

Generally speaking, it is a taboo for a squire knight to cause trouble for the wizard he is loyal to because of his incompetence.

The first-level wizards of the Rectification Committee can understand Loken's actions.

He did not make it difficult, and ordered his two subordinates to continue patrolling, saying, "You, follow me."

The situation inexplicably improved.

Locke hadn't expected it either.

The person who arrested him was a first-class wizard from the Mechanical Suspended City's Rectification Committee, with an extraordinary status and enormous power.

In his eyes, he was already unattainable, like a god in the clouds.

But the wizard apprentice's attitude changed just now.

He saw it all.

An incredible idea gradually emerged in his mind.

Could it be that Lord Vic's status is higher than that of the wizard on the Rectification Committee?
along the way.

Locke didn't dare to say a word.

After crossing half of the city, we arrived at an urban area that was gradually becoming luxurious as far as the naked eye could see.

The first-level wizard took him to a stand-alone building that covered a huge area and looked like a palace.

"Remember, no matter whether the adult living inside is someone you are loyal to or not, do not lose your composure when you see him. Do you understand?"

Loken nodded hastily.

The wizards of the Rectification Committee have the power to enforce the law in the Hanging City. Compared to ordinary wizards, they are already powerful beings with connections everywhere.

Faster than a mortal.

Loken came from the mortal world, but he had heard rumors about this more than once.

It is amazing that such a big shot could be so cautious.

The status and power of the wizard living inside.

He couldn't imagine.

Not long after.

The mechanical golem opens the door to the house.

After the first-level wizard stated his purpose, the two stepped inside.

Go through the atrium.

The mechanical golem makes an artificially synthesized sound.

"The master will be here soon. Please wait where you are and do not move around."

Although Locke is already middle-aged.

But in the eyes of wizards, his age is no different from that of a child.

He stared at the corner of the corridor in the distance. Although he already knew the answer in his heart, he still couldn't believe it.

Until a figure in a simple black robe appeared.

The first-level wizard who brought him in hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile, "Vic, I have heard that you have settled in the Hanging City, but I have been busy with official duties and have no chance to visit you.

Is that knight your squire?"

Locke met Vic's gaze, hurried over, knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Vic has a very deep mind.

The ring he gave to Locke earlier was not only a test of his ability to do things, but also a test of his loyalty.

Obviously.

This person is qualified to be his squire.

Vic looked calm as he took out an alchemical ring and handed it to the first-level wizard, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

The first-level wizard is none other than him.

It was Luke, an old friend from college who had asked Vic for help.

but.

He didn't dare to accept Vic's gift easily, and quickly declined, "Alas, this matter is still my responsibility, Vic, you are too polite.

The token you gave to the knight was stolen.

It was the committee's negligence in management. I will thoroughly investigate this matter when I return and give you an explanation."

"Rob?"

Vic uttered a word in a plain tone.

Luke and Locke's bodies both shook slightly.

The latter quickly knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness, saying, "Lord Vic, it's my fault! I'm new here and don't know the ins and outs."

The words are not finished yet.

Vic waved off the need for explanation.

Luke felt bitter at this moment.

Back then, he and Vic were both the least talented students in Black Tower Academy.

Although so many years have passed and he has made great achievements in his glorious old land and has served as an assistant to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he is still compared to Vic.

Still very different.

He just took the responsibility because he was afraid that Vic would pursue the matter.

They both came from the same background, and he knew Vic's character well.

If you let him handle it.

I'm afraid it's about robbing the keepsake.

Difficult to be good.
