Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 98 Wild Wizard and City Lord
The woman lifted the struggling black cat to her eyes, gently tapped its head, and then, with a disgruntled cry from the kitten, stuffed it back into the breeding bag. She also collected the crippled, twisted creatures lying around.

The vast arena was markedly different from the end of a typical duel. There were neither cheers nor curses, only a rare silence. If the lack of curses was due to the identities of the two spellcasters, then the lack of cheers was probably because many people didn't understand. This battle, abruptly ended by one side's surrender, was quite unaccustomed to seeing blood splattered everywhere.

The female wizard apprentice with a hoarse voice naturally ignored ordinary people she didn't know.

She just looked straight at Ruger, as if she wanted to see through his identity, or was still wondering what he looked like under his mask.

However, Ruger felt that the other party's eyes were more like wanting to dissect him and study him.

"Is this strange effect of your spell due to the transformation of your body?" she said, staring at him.

After hearing this, Ruger became even more convinced that if he agreed, the other party would definitely catch him without hesitation and throw him on the experimental table.

He shook his head and decided to dissuade the other party from thinking this, at least a little bit.

"It's just a small spell with a high degree of compatibility. You should know that with a high degree of compatibility, it is easier to transform the spell." He said with a smile.

The woman looked a little disappointed, and seemed to have lost almost half of her interest in continuing the conversation.

She looked uninterested and reluctantly said, "Don't get too involved in the affairs of the Lower Realm nobles. You can provide limited assistance to your friends, but don't cause widespread damage. You'll decide the specific limits yourself. If you go too far, even disguising yourself as a wild wizard will be useless."

"Thank you for your reminder." Ruger said with a smile.

He watched the woman turn and leave, and breathed a sigh of relief. There was no major conflict of interest, and the other party obviously did not use her full strength.

Of course, uncommon and unpredictable spells also have a certain deterrent effect. He has clearly realized that a wizard should not easily let others know the spells he masters, especially solidification spells and transformation spells.

When Ruger walked back to the passage, he saw the female wizard apprentice again.

The other party also saw him.

When he found his way and walked up the steps leading to the nobles' stand, she moved again and followed him.

Ruger ignored her. When he returned to the nobles' stand, he was greeted by a beaming Master Lorrigo. The expressions of the city's nobles still in the stands changed. As his gaze moved, everyone he caught sight of instantly fell in love with a smile, transforming into a blooming flower.

"Sir Ruge, please forgive my rudeness. I didn't know you were also..." Edgar said sincerely.

"Watching the fight in the arena and following the arena's rules is not considered rude," Luger said with a soothing smile. "But I must remind you, Master Edgar, please don't say anything nonsense. I am just a wild wizard."

Ruge's words made Edgar's face change, not because Ruge refuted him, but because he obviously also knew the rule that the wizard domain was forbidden to interfere in the lower domain cave city.

"Yes, yes, I understand. You are a wild wizard." Edgar said with his head lowered.

Luger smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

Coincidentally, the female wizard apprentice also came up at this moment, and Edgar took the opportunity to immediately accompany the female wizard apprentice back to their small circle.

For a moment, Luger's surroundings finally quieted down. Edgar's frustration and Lorigo's presence also discouraged many people from coming over to chat.

A new fight begins between two serious criminals. In order to liven up the atmosphere, the red-nosed man climbs onto a high platform and announces that the winner can have his sentence reduced by ten years.

The audience cheered, and the two gladiators got rid of their fear in an instant, and the atmosphere between them became tense.

Ruger was a little overwhelmed by Lorigo's eager gaze.

"Sir Luger," he said in a low voice, "are you...really a wild wizard?"

The difference between wild wizards and those wizard apprentices with orthodox inheritance is not just a matter of title or spell strength. First of all, it represents the gap in talent between the two sides. Most of the wild wizards are eliminated after the talent tests in the major cave areas. However, the difficulty of finding their own way and the gap in talent lead to another problem, which is the possibility of becoming a formal wizard. This is also the key point that is valued by one side as a wizard apprentice.

Ruger shifted his eyes from the tall and thin condemned man who was a real good hand with the chain hammer. He glanced at Lorigo, who was whispering like a thief, and at the red-haired Myrtle, who was looking at the arena with her ears perked up and turned sideways.

"If I were not a wild wizard apprentice, I would definitely leave your annoying gaze and return to the wizard domain as soon as possible." He said.

Master Lorigo immediately turned his attention to the arena where the fierce fighting was in full swing.

But after a while, he turned around again. Just as Master Lorigo was about to say something, a figure hurriedly ran up the steps of the noble viewing stand. Seeing that there were many people there, he slowed down and calmly came to Lorigo.

Ruge knew this man, who was the steward of Lorigo Manor.

After the two of them whispered to each other, Ruger noticed that Master Lorigo's expression changed slightly, but he quickly controlled himself and returned to normal.

Ruge vaguely heard that the news was passed to the manor from the castle of the Star Family, that Lorigo's elder brother, who had been bedridden for many years, seemed to be about to reach the end of his life.

This kind of thing is actually impossible to conceal, and I think it will soon become known to the whole city.

"Sir Ruge, I have some things to take care of. If you want to continue watching, let Myrtle stay here with you." Lorigo was obviously trying his best to remain calm.

Luger thought about it and stood up.

"Let's go together. I also need to return to the manor to meditate," he said.

Ruger could clearly sense that in such an emergency, Lorigo didn't want him to stay here, even if sending him back to the manor would take a detour.

Perhaps in this period of declining population of the Star Family, they regarded him as a kind of deterrent to the outside world. The Star Family has a "wild wizard" of unknown origin, unknown name, and powerful strength.

Luger's eyes rolled.

Perhaps this card of his is not just for external use. If the eldest son of the Fanxing family is really about to pass away, doesn't it mean that the young master Lorigo beside him will become the new first heir?

If Lorigo could become the city lord, then getting a ferry ticket to the wizarding realm would be possible no matter how difficult it was, Ruge thought.
