Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 90: A New Life of Freedom
Roy was surprised when he heard this, but he soon understood what was going on.

"These people were wizards on the verge of promotion. After their journey to the Cretaceous Nation, there was no need for them to stay any longer..."

However, when he went to Sofia to check on the situation, he found that things were far from simple.

"Sophia-senpai?"

The person who opened the door for him was a little girl with blonde hair and white skin!
The little girl nodded: "Yes, it's me."

Roy looked down. Under the illumination of the Eye of Hermes, the other person's entire body emanated a fresh and tender glow, like a green bud, even mixed with some blue and purple, highlighting the essence of alchemical life.

However, most of these magical auras that originally belonged to "objects" were shrouded in the light of life energy.

With the combination of these two, the aura of the "item" is extremely subtle, not as obvious as other magical treasures.

Instead, the aura of the source of magic power became more and more obvious.

This made people feel as if a flame was ignited inside her body, continuously radiating witchcraft energy.

This is the real breath of a wizard!
Roy's gaze suddenly turned to the inner room, and he faintly felt the presence of another person.

He walked quickly across the living room and went inside.

Sure enough, "Sophia" was lying on the bed, her entire body except her head wrapped in bandages, looking seriously injured.

"She is Celine." The little girl with blonde hair and white skin followed and said softly.

"Celine is not dead! Instead, she replaced your body?" Roy turned around and asked in surprise.

"Yes, it was her you met at that time. I was hiding near the entrance, planning to get out." The little girl Sophia sat down in the room.

Roy suddenly understood, but at the same time he was deeply afraid of the real Sophia.

No wonder I always felt that Sophia was a little weird when I first met her...

It turns out she is already Celine!

"Roy..."

Hearing Roy's voice, Celine... who was already wearing Sophia's old body, turned her head with some difficulty.

Roy was surprised to find that most of her face had been corroded by the strong acid, becoming miserable and terrifying.

There was a faint medicinal fragrance in the air, as well as the stench of some kind of rotting flesh. The two smells mixed together, just like the mixed feelings in Roy's heart.

"How did you become like this...

How are you?"

Roy was slightly touched and gave some instructions with a hint of concern.

"You have to rest well!"

"It's okay, I'm just a little hurt." Celine answered in a slightly hoarse voice.

For some reason, Roy saw a hint of excitement in her eyes.

Suddenly, he understood.

Celine finally fulfilled her contract with Sophia, and luckily survived, and is about to start a new life of freedom.

"I will soon be leaving the Wu Tower and heading to another world."

Sure enough, Sophia said one thing.

"I've heard of it." Roy came back to his senses and nodded. "After an apprentice is promoted to a wizard, he will immediately be summoned by the great wizards and sent to various battlefields or colonies in need of manpower.

After all, the tradition of the wizarding world from ancient times to the present has been to conquer the outside world, plunder and colonize.

Unless you get permission, you can come back for vacation, recuperation, or experiments."

Sophia said: "The wizarding world holds huge interests outside, and local talents are the true descendants. Going there is also an opportunity for development.

From now on, we will go our separate ways and never see each other again until we die. Or maybe, we will meet again, but I don’t know when that will be.

So, before we leave, we plan to wait for everyone who went to the Cretaceous Country to return and get together.”

Roy nodded, understanding that they were planning to make another profit before leaving.

However, back in the Wu Tower, it is difficult to threaten others with force alone, and more depends on economic status to conduct solid transactions.

This was also the example set by the great wizards who had previously set foot in the starry sea. After explaining this matter, Roy tentatively asked about the whole story.

But Sophia did not elaborate, and he still did not understand whether she had obtained the legendary treasure.

……

"Who has taken the biggest advantage?"

After coming out from Sophia, Roy was still thinking about this problem.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped.

Renien was carrying several large boxes and walking up the stairs alone.

"Roy?" He looked over, paused, and clutched the box.

"Seeing you're safe and sound, I'm relieved." Roy nodded calmly and said to him as if nothing had happened, "Also, congratulations on your promotion."

"Thank you." Renien forced a smile.

Roy asked, "Where's Andov?"

Renian said, "He returned safely. He was slightly injured on the way, but it's nothing serious."

"Let me help you." Roy took the initiative to step forward and lend a hand.

"No, no need..." Renien refused subconsciously.

"You also helped me move when I was promoted to senior." Roy insisted seriously.

When Renien heard this, his expression became complicated.

But, he finally let go of his hand and let him lift the big box on top of the pile.

……

In the next few days, Roy rested while dealing with the harvest from the Cretaceous Kingdom.

He also went to visit Andov and learned that he was injured in the fight with those senior apprentices.

Most of the people who entered the Cretaceous Country and came out alive have made a fortune, the only difference is the size of the fortune.

Andov and Renien signed an equal agreement and did not have to hand over their harvests like other followers, so they could afford good potions and had recovered a lot by now.

But he was in a low mood and seemed to have had a quarrel with Rainien.

Roy hesitated for a moment and asked, "I don't want to pursue right or wrong anymore...

But I still want to know what exactly you experienced in there.

Can you tell me about it? "

Hearing this, Andov looked up at him and moved his lips.

But in the end, he still shook his head slightly.

"I'm not in the mood to talk about this right now. Can you please leave me alone for a while?"

Roy didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, so he could only leave a few words of encouragement and leave.

It seems that a gap has appeared and the relationship between us can never go back to the same.

To this day, he still doesn't know what exactly happened. This is another mystery besides the legendary treasure.

……

The end of the month is also the end of the year.

The trade fair was held as scheduled.

Roy possesses the [Eye of Hermes] and values this opportunity very much, so he arrived at the agreed location early.

However, we found that everyone was very conservative and kept any benefits hidden, unwilling to expose or trade them easily.

The crystallization of the life energy of the veteran actors has become useless.

In the end, the trade fair turned into a tea party and everyone started chatting.
