The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low-key manner

Chapter 21 Good news and bad news!
When Zorn approached his own manor.

From a distance, Zorn saw a figure standing near the door.

It was the young rat-catcher, Isaac, coming to deliver the gray rat.

In the past few days, Zorn bought a large number of gray rats from the rat catcher Bevis every day, including some mutant gray rats of astonishing size, and these were all prepared for the next [Evil Wizard].

"Isaac."

Zorn got off the carriage and greeted Isaac.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Zorn!"

Isaac, wearing an old felt hat, greeted Zorn a little stiffly.

"There are a total of 12 gray rats this time, two of which are mutants. Also, the teacher asked me to tell you that there have been a lot more rats in the sewers recently, and they are very bold. Perhaps... there really is a possibility of a rat plague."

Zorn asked old Nero to take the tied mouse, paid the money, and gave him some extra money for running away.

"I'll write to City Hall."

Zorn said this.

In the eyes of the young rat catcher, he was a nobleman with the power to influence the city of Auglan.

But Zorn knew that his "noble" was an insignificant existence in the huge power and political center of Oglan City. He was no different from ordinary people and no one would care about him.

But he will still do what he can, such as writing to City Hall.

After letting old Nero drive the carriage into the manor himself, Zorn lowered his voice and said.

"Today... your teacher is going to let you inherit the Rat Catcher sequence, right?"

Isaac was slightly startled, then nodded.

Zorn smiled softly and spoke slowly.

"A lot will change tonight."

"In the ritual of inheritance, be more patient Isaac, and you will see many interesting things."

"Remember! As a hunter, there's no need to rush until the prey appears."

Young Isaac frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand the meaning of the words of this respected young noble.

But he still remembered these words.

"I will pass your words on to the teacher."

Zorn nodded slightly.

With Bevis's vision and experience, he would understand what Zorn was talking about.

Only after Isaac disappeared at the end of the street did Zorn walk into the manor.

…………

Before we knew it, dusk was approaching.

Walked out along the slightly dim underground stairs.

He slightly turned the Twin Snake Ring on his middle finger.

In the underground chamber, he performed another small wave of sacrifices and fed the Twin Snake Rings.

During this period, the forbidden item, the Twin Snake Ring, was nurtured.

His vision is getting better and better, especially for living things and objects in motion, he has extremely detailed insight.

Forbidden items are extremely powerful in blessing extraordinary people.

The premise is that you have to bear the negative effects.

The more powerful the taboo characteristics are, the greater the price you have to pay.

The player panel also appeared in his sight.

……

[Starmark Fighter] (30th Anniversary Exclusive Commemorative Edition) (Untradeable)
Level: 1 (16%)

【talent】

Strong Will and Iron Bones (SS Rank): You possess a will and body of steel.

【Skill】

Basic Skull-Splitting Fist: Level 0 (31%)

……

Although the level and extraordinary skills have not been upgraded, the experience points have accumulated to a certain extent.

Accumulation and sedimentation are the key to subsequent level and skill improvement.

The sun has already set, and the red sunset glow on the horizon gradually dims, casting a thin layer of blood on the sky.

Come to the small living room and wait for dinner.

The old butler Grunk walked in quickly.

"Hopefully, there will be some good news."

"Master Zorn, there's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Zorn's eye twitched.

"Hear the good news first!"

"The good news is that the pharmacy instructor at the public university in Ogland City expressed great interest in your letter and hopes to meet with you. I've made an appointment for you next Wednesday afternoon."

Zorn nodded slightly. This was indeed good news.

If the other party is willing to contact him, Zorn has a great chance of winning him over.

After all, he had many ready-made potions and magic potion recipes.

In terms of potions and magic, he had a foundation that was ahead of his time.

Then Zorn calmed himself down. "What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that when I was looking for the corresponding factories, I heard from the factory owners that the Steam Factory Act seemed to be about to be enacted. Almost no factory owners were willing to sell their steam factories. They were all waiting for a good price. What a cunning bunch of businessmen."

"The Steam Plant Act is coming?"

Zorn raised his brow slightly.

"Yes, Master Zorn. I even went to the City Hall and asked several of my friends. They answered in the affirmative."

Hearing this, Zorn couldn't help but chuckle.

"Uncle Gronk, this is really good news!"

Gronk was slightly startled.

"Is this... good news?"

"I heard that the Steam Plant Act mainly limits the number of steam plants. It is precisely because of this that the existing steam plants are so confident and demand such high prices!"

Zorn simply waved his hand gently.

“If only the bill were that simple.”

"Let's put the steam plant issue on hold for now. I believe there will be some factories willing to sell to us at a reasonable price."

Even though he had some doubts in his heart, Gronk still chose to believe Zorn.

After all, during this period of time, Zorn, who has been exposed to extraordinary powers, can always make precise and accurate judgments.

He…just had to follow Master Zorn’s orders.

It was true that the Steam Works Act limited the number of factories.

However, many existing low-quality steam plants that do not meet emission standards will receive administrative orders to rectify the problem within a specified period of time.

If the rectification fails to meet the standards, heavy taxes will be levied directly.

They might even directly seal off and confiscate the entire steam factory.

Obviously, the Ogland City Hall is also aware of the series of problems caused by the steam plant's pollution discharge.

If this continues, many terrible disasters will be caused.

When the Steam Works Act is announced, at least two-thirds of steam plants will be affected.

Many steam factories that are already struggling will be sold at a discount.

A steam plant that originally cost 18,000 gold pounds may now be available for half the price.

This... is the real good news.

After having Gronk join us at the table and have dinner together.

After giving some instructions, Zorn quietly entered the secret room of the ritual altar below.

night!
Already arrived.

The blood moon will soon arrive at the correct location.

And Zorn was going to reach the right position in that first ray of blood-red light, accept the inheritance and then hide himself.

When the crimson blood moon covers the entire earth.

There will be a lot of eyes intertwined on the trajectory of fate.

The [Evil Spirit Wizard], who is the core of the evil god, will attract most of the attention.

Some sequences are naturally attention-grabbing, are intolerable, and must be eliminated.

[Evil Spirit Wizard] is like this, and is one of the best.

So, Zorn needs to be fully prepared.

Try not to be discovered as much as possible. Even if you are discovered, you need to conceal your own uniqueness and not be deliberately targeted.

Only in this way can we develop steadily and low-key.

……

In the dark and silent secret room.

Zorn's palm was placed within the curtain of the altar ceremony.

"E…gun…nus…"

"Er...gunu...nus..."

The low, heavy and melodious murmur bloomed in the depths of Zorn's soul like a swirling vortex.

This is a call from the ancient evil god.

For everyone else, listen to the call from a hidden and ancient evil.

There is a high probability that it will become some kind of terrible deformed monster, or become a wriggling residue of flesh and blood, and flowing filthy blood.

As Zorn listened to the ancient mysterious words, he seemed very calm.

In the ancient language of Tyus.

"Ergonus" means head, soul, ruler, etc.

And all of this points to the perfect vessel and vehicle - Zorn Korrik!

This is the power that belongs to him.

At this time, the sequence of [Evil Spirit Wizard] was eager to enter and reach the correct position.

But Zorn did not initiate the ceremony.

"Be more patient, that's the key to success!"

So said Zorn, who was sleeping in the twilight, waiting for that ray of crimson.
