I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.
Chapter 53 Witch City
Chapter 53 Witch City
After entering Stonehenge, Wallace recited a spell.
Soon, a layer of fog enveloped the Stonehenge. When the fog cleared, a bustling street appeared before the two.
Many people on the street were wearing clothes similar to Wallace's, and there were also many people dressed as ordinary people, all of whom had magical fluctuations on their bodies.
The so-called wizard market is here.
Since this place is close to the college, any business here is profitable. In addition, the college often releases some good goods, so many people from outside the area come here.
Most of the people running shops here are locals, but they may not be from Black Abyss Academy.
Wallace pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, "Look, that's our college."
Roland looked up and saw the black mountains in the distance, shrouded in mist under the illumination of the stars and the moon. A magnificent castle stood on the top of the mountain.
There, is the "Alexandra Arcane Academy," commonly known as the Black Abyss Academy.
Wallace patted Roland on the shoulder and said, "Let's go do some business!"
Today was the weekend. The streets were filled with students wearing the gray robes of Black Abyss Academy apprentices. Many of them were freshmen.
It has been three months since the start of school, and many outstanding freshmen have started to complete tasks to earn extra money.
Looking at the group of energetic classmates, Roland was excited and nervous.
They are all well dressed.
The clothes Roland was wearing were actually good clothes that only nobles could afford, but compared to the costumes of wizards, they were very rustic.
Moreover, it was already tattered, covered with dirt and blood, and its original appearance was almost unrecognizable. So much so that the civilians who had come before it mistook it for a wandering stranger.
He looked at the clothes on his body and had the idea of buying new clothes.
"I wonder how much a nice wizard robe costs. There are also people wearing demon hunter leather armor, which looks very protective, but it also looks very expensive."
"I heard that Black Abyss Academy is a wizarding academy for the nobility, and the tuition and accommodation fees are very high."
Roland was a little nervous. He thought to himself, "The damaged artifacts I collected from the ruins should be able to sell for a lot of magic stones, right?"
Many people greeted Wallace on the way, including people from the academy, outsiders who came to the academy for business, wizards from other small academies nearby, or members of some wizard families near the Black Abyss Academy.
Many people knew Wallace, and when they saw the magical fluctuations on him, they came forward to congratulate him.
Even some people who were obviously official wizards came over to greet him.
People like Wallace are like an old scholar who has failed the imperial examinations for decades. Before he passed, no one took him seriously, but once he did, even the high officials in the county government would come to congratulate him and shower him with praise.
After sending the group away, Wallace stroked his beard and said, "Roland, don't be surprised. Once you're promoted to a senior apprentice, you'll still be in good health at the age of 120. Although I look very old, who can guarantee that I won't suddenly be promoted to a full-fledged wizard overnight in the future?"
"What's more, I will definitely get a promotion when I return this time!"
The power of logistics is very great.
In fact, when Wallace first started working in logistics at the age of 20, everyone thought that with his background, he would become the head of logistics as long as he was promoted to senior apprentice.
At that time, Wallace was at the peak of his career and was the center of attention.
But as he got older, he gradually lost interest. He became a marginal figure in the logistics department. Eventually, he barely came to work at the academy anymore.
Although this is the life script that Wallace arranged for himself, in this century of worldly life, this demon has experienced the changes in the world.
He had assumed that his reincarnation into the human world would grant him humanity and a personality, unaffected by his life experiences. However, this earthly experience profoundly affected him, much like the angels who betray their faith and marry humans after their arrival. Wallace was no longer a pure demon. He possessed a true personality and humanity.
He even developed loyalty, a modicum of morality, and a shred of justice.
This period of life made the demon feel very involved and emotional. Sometimes he couldn't even tell who he was.
Therefore, whenever he thought about the cold stares and ridicule he suffered in the academy, he would feel angry.
——Don’t bully the poor young man!
If the young lady hadn't grown up yet, and if I hadn't wanted to keep a low profile, I would have just gotten a piece of demon stone and advanced!
Previously, because Catherine's memory had not yet awakened and she lacked the ability to protect herself, Wallace had been working in the academy as a middle-level apprentice, keeping a low profile and being looked down upon.
Now, the time is ripe and Wallace can finally hold his head high.
He was currently displaying the state of an apprentice's Great Perfection, looking like he could be promoted to a full-fledged wizard at any moment. Therefore, everyone believed that this steward of the Alexandra family would definitely be responsible for logistics in the future.
Therefore, these guys who once ignored him are now rushing to curry favor with this former old loser.
After hearing this, Roland also understood Wallace's personality - his strength was average, but he had connections above him.
Well. After a while, when he is promoted to a formal wizard, he will become a Black Abyss wizard with outstanding strength, rich resume and great power.
Before long, the two of them arrived at a busy street.
Wallace said, "Roland. As a businessman, I once had hundreds of millions of dollars in savings. I even built an altar for myself."
"Later, my daughter was born, but she fell ill (her memory didn't awaken). For her sake, I had to give up many things. I traveled all over the country for her, using up all my savings and connections."
"Originally, I had some magic stones left. I was planning to return to the academy and make a comeback with the young lady. But that bastard ate all the magic stones!"
"So, now we are both paupers."
After listening to Wallace's words, Roland was deeply moved.
He didn't know what Wallace was working for his mentor, but for these things, he dismantled his altar and sold his rare items.
Roland asked curiously, "Brother Wallace, when you came back this time, didn't the Alexandra family give you some funds for activities?"
"Well, of course there are, and there are a lot, but the family is short of liquidity recently, so we have to wait for a while."
Roland felt something was amiss. He thought to himself, "Wallace said before that the family had declined. Just how far has it declined?"
Soon, the two stopped at the door of a store.
It's called 'The Eye of Skadi' and is a shop of oddities.
Looking at the magnificent store in front of him, Roland said, "Brother Wallace, after making this fortune today, we two poor guys should be able to turn our lives around, right?"
Wallace laughed and said, "Hahaha, I'm sure we'll be able to turn things around! Roland, I'm about to make a comeback. The goods we sell today will be our first pot of gold!"
Hearing this, Roland suddenly felt a little unsure.
"Brother, why are you setting such a flag for no reason?"
Roland once again looked at the noble freshmen on the street. He thought to himself, "I've worked so hard to pick up so many things. Selling them for 200 magic stones isn't too much, right?"
