Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 97 Bandit Logic
It was an inexplicable intuition. The manifestation of spiritual power had reached the stage of perfect transformation. Even hostile gazes would turn into a feeling like needles.

The greater the threat, the more obvious it is.

He immediately became alert.

"What could be visiting?"

Roy continued to eat his breakfast, his eyes moving around calmly, but he didn't notice anything.

“Strange, it’s hidden quite deeply!
If it weren't for my strong mental strength, I wouldn't have been able to detect it."

It was difficult for senior apprentices to react to the feeling just now.

That has to be the elite apprentice stage.

……

"what happened to you?"

More than an hour later, Celine came back from patrol and saw Roy sitting by the lake, deep in thought. He didn't spend his time fishing or reading like he had done in the past few days. She couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Did you notice anything wrong?" Roy asked.

"Not really." Celine's expression changed slightly.

Roy said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but it's also possible that there really is something watching us from the dark.

Don't make a fuss, don't show any unusual behavior, just wait and see."

Celine nodded calmly.

Then Roy took out a few bottles of semi-finished products that he had prepared in advance, silently chanted the spell, and cast the spell to start making them.

"..."

Darkening

As the mysterious witchcraft energy condenses into spiritual light, it is like ink dripping into a glass bottle.

A new blackening potion is refined.

The semi-finished product is made using Great Albert Water as a solvent.

As he gradually digested and absorbed the knowledge in his mind, his mastery of this technology became more and more proficient.

At this moment, that vague feeling of being spied on came over me again.

It seems that my action of refining the potion attracted the other party's attention.

Roy sneered inwardly, then suddenly jumped up, rushed to a big tree, and punched hard.

boom!
The big tree that several people hugged rustled, and a hole was pierced through it on the spot, revealing the space inside.

There is a small tree hole inside, with a monitoring device built with a peeping eye and a rune array.

"So this thing is causing trouble. I was wondering why the sensation felt a bit strange. It didn't look like there was anyone hiding nearby."

Roy casually crushed the eye that was refined by witchcraft and touched the cable connecting it with his fingers.

In an instant, the mental power spread like an electric current, quickly traveling along the line to a hidden cave more than 300 meters away.

"not good!"

An apprentice in a green robe jumped out and ran out immediately.

"Celine, catch him!"

Roy shouted, sending instructions to his followers.

Celine jumped up and chased after him quickly.

But a moment later, three figures suddenly surrounded Roy from different directions and approached him quickly.

At the same time, several people in the water came quickly, stepping on the waves, stirring up waves.

"You went to such great lengths to ambush me! I want to see who you are!"

Roy was not afraid.

Because what he truly relied on was his own strength, his alchemical talent and the results of his cultivation. Fighting Melina gave him a clear understanding of his own strength.

A moment later, several ambushers appeared in front of them.

The leader among them was none other than the senior apprentice Kanila who had provided him with the information about the Holy Lake Crystal.

The other one was called Koziad, one of the more senior apprentices in the tower.

Even if such people have not reached the elite apprentice stage like myself, they are not far off.

And the last one...

"It's you, Pimir!"

Pimir, who had been missing for a long time, unexpectedly reappeared this time.

He didn't know when he had a new right arm attached. It looked a bit thick and not in harmony with his body.

He did not possess the spiritual transformation that only elite apprentices had, but for some reason, he actually carried a faint radiation contamination unique to the source of magic!
Roy has been trying to condense the source of magic power recently. Whether he condenses it on his own or with the help of the power of magic potion, he must understand it.

So it can be recognized at once.

"Roy, long time no see." Pimir smiled, but his eyes were cold. "If it weren't for you last time, I wouldn't have been so miserable!"

Roy simply ignored him.

It was natural for this person to seek revenge on me, and there was no need to ask any further questions.

It seems unsurprising that the intelligence dealer Canila would change his attitude according to the situation and forget his principles when he sees profit.

Seeing such a great hunting opportunity, it is only natural to participate.

"It seems that you are the mastermind of this conspiracy, Koziad!" Roy turned his gaze to him. The aura of the elite apprentice made the senior apprentice look solemn.

Koziad's face changed several times, as if he was deeply humiliated by his natural reaction: "Yes, it's me!"

"I just don't understand. Isn't it comfortable to live a good life? Why do you have to seek death?"

"Don't bluff, Roy. You're just a newly promoted elite apprentice. Even if you've managed to enter the Cretaceous Country, how much can you digest in such a short time?
We'll take this opportunity to kill you and take out those treasures for our use!
Moreover, someone like you is so timid that you even hesitate to exercise the rights of an elite apprentice. I don't believe you have any ability!"

Roy originally thought that Koziad would have some profound ideas, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

After a while, he said, "Okay, okay, this is my fault!
But it is true that I should reflect on this.

I thought too well of you!"

He suddenly realized that he and Koziad had no deep hatred, nor any irreconcilable contradictions.

It was simply because after becoming the chief apprentice, he displayed a gentleness, courtesy, and frugality that was incompatible with this world.

Eating in a civilized and elegant manner...

Just think it's weakness and lack of confidence, maybe you can give it a try!

In the eyes of predatory wizards, not enslaving or oppressing others does not mean you are kind.

That's just a lack of strength and confidence.

Koziad was not as afraid of his elite apprentice as his juniors with less experience, because he did not feel that there was any insurmountable gap between him and him.

Unless he successfully condenses the source of magic power and raises the efficiency of extracting witchcraft energy to a higher level.

Conversely, it can also be argued that by that time, he will have completely lost the qualifications to challenge his own status and seize his own wealth.

If you don't act now, it will be too late later.

Roy glanced at the three of them and said, “It seems you have been secretly observing and analyzing me for a long time.

Even people like Pimir who have a grudge against me have colluded with him.

It really took a lot of effort!"

"Do it!"

The few of them were too lazy to talk to him any more, so they slowly approached and suddenly pounced on him.
