Wizard: Starting from Escaping Another World to Pioneering

Chapter 158 Departure on the Magical Cruise Ship

"Bang-!!!"

Jax's head instantly shattered into pieces, exploding into a bloody mist.

Blood and viscous brain matter mingled together and splattered all over the ground.

"Thump!"

The onlookers stared in disbelief at the scene until Jax collapsed to the ground, at which point they finally came to their senses.

"It was resolved just like that?!"

The entire venue was deathly silent.

Earl of the Golden Lion felt as if he had been struck by lightning; he had witnessed Jax's terrifying methods firsthand.

But to his utter surprise, the other party was so easily defeated by Matthew.

He stood frozen in place, as if petrified.

The members of the Blackwater Clan inside the main hall could hardly believe what they were seeing.

But after a moment of stunned silence, they burst into cheers.

"Hahahahaha!"

Jason, who was slumped on the ground, threw his head back and laughed.

"Okay, okay!"

"It seems I misjudged you this time."

"Thanks to your friend, Todd—"

"No, it should be thanks to Lord Matthew!"

"Let's see what that old scoundrel Golden Lion can rely on to turn the tables this time!"

Todd remained calm upon hearing this, because he felt that all of this was perfectly reasonable.

The strongest wizarding apprentice in this generation should have no problem dealing with a wild wizard.

After a period of rest, Todd finally regained some strength and was able to move his body freely again.

He slowly stood up, intending to clean up the mess that was about to unfold.

However, before he could even leave the hall, he heard a piercing scream.

"what!"

The voice came from Earl of the Golden Lion.

"Earl of the Snow Mountain, you treacherous bastard!"

Suddenly, Earl of Snow Mountain appeared behind Earl of Golden Lion.

Taking advantage of the other party's momentary lapse in concentration, he pierced the other party's body with his longsword.

Count Snow Mountain remained unperturbed by Count Golden Lion's angry rebuke.

"If it weren't for you, you old geezer, bewitching me."

"How could I possibly become enemies with the Blackwater family?"

The Earl of Snow Mountain spoke indignantly, placing all the blame on the other party.

He did this to pledge his allegiance to the Blackwater family.

Although he didn't know if doing this would be effective, it was better than sitting and waiting to die.

"How foolish!"

"Do you think they'll let you off the hook if you do this?"

"Your only choice is to fight your way out of here with me!"

"Shut up, you old thief, Golden Lion!"

The Earl of Snow Mountain suddenly drew his sword, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

"what!"

Earl Golden Lion let out another miserable howl, his eyes fixed on the other man as he roared.

"We'll die together!"

Despite the pain, Earl Golden Lion swung his sword at his opponent.

"Clang—" The two longswords clashed, sparks flying everywhere.

At this moment, Syl also joined the battle, shouting to the crowd.

"Take down that old thief, Golden Lion!"

At this moment, the morale of the Blackwater Fortress guards soared; Matthew had given them boundless confidence.

The guards responded to the call, grabbed their weapons, and surrounded the Golden Lion Clan.

Todd had already walked up to Matthew and watched the two of them bickering, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"Thanks so much this time."

Matthew picked up the storage item from Jax's body, his expression calm as if he had done something insignificant.

"It's nothing!"

"No matter what, you saved my family this time!"

"Thanks, old friend."

Todd patted Matthew on the shoulder, then vanished in a flash and joined the battle.

With his addition, Earl of the Golden Lion was quickly defeated.

The group that came with him was also quickly captured by the Blackwater Clan's guards.

Matthew was not interested in how the Earl of the Golden Lion and the Earl of the Snow Mountain would be dealt with.

Now that Todd's wedding has been ruined, there's no need for him to stay any longer.

He shook his head and walked towards the Blackwater family's manor in the wilderness.

After returning to his room, Matthew locked the door.

He used his mental energy to examine Jax's storage ring.

Matthew found a booklet inside.

After reading it, he shook his head.

These are Jax's research notes, which record his research on the undead.

"Fully riddled with flaws —"

"The research methods used there are too outdated."

However, regarding the question of why Jax would help the Earl of the Golden Lion...

At this moment, Matthew finally had an answer.

Because Jax is a wild wizard apprentice, there are many materials for him that he does not have a fixed way of obtaining.

The other party wanted to cultivate a large army of undead, but had not signed a contract with the undead creatures, so they had to find another way.

He wanted to collect human bones to raise an army of the undead.

However, all the empires, large and small, along the western coast of the Gold Coast had their own schools of thought.

Take the Orn Empire for example; it is a subordinate force of the Tide School.

Jax feared that mass killings of humans would attract the attention of the school.

Therefore, he could only roam among the various countries, instigate wars between the feudal lords, and take the opportunity to collect human corpses.

"I was wondering why those skeletons didn't seem like they were summoned from the Land of the Dead."

"So at that time, his witchcraft hadn't dissipated yet, but he couldn't summon any undead creatures."

"So the skeleton reserves ran out—"

Apart from families like Mold that have a long history.

Most wild wizard apprentices who did not join a school of thought focused their research on necromancy.

Because they don't have many channels to obtain materials and knowledge related to witchcraft, they mostly focus their experiments on studying the human body.

Compared to the difficulty in obtaining magical knowledge and its high exchange price.

Humans are a species that can be found everywhere, and they can keep trying and making mistakes.

In addition, this guy has collected a large number of human souls.

Increase the speed of spiritual power enhancement through soul stimulation.

"It's too rough—"

"This method of ascension is very risky, as it is easily influenced by various resentments in the soul, eventually leading to mental instability."

Matthew shook his head and checked the other items in the spatial ring again.

Unfortunately, Jax is just a wild wizard apprentice, so what valuable things could he possibly have?

After searching high and low, he finally found only a few dozen fragments of magic stone.

And some random witchcraft potions.

After tidying up, Matthew began his meditation for the day.

Time flies, and two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

Matthew's mental strength has now reached 97 points.

Just one more hour of meditation is all it takes to reach the apprentice's mental limit.

During this time, he has been trying to use "Joseph's Biological Cultivation Ritual" to cultivate a magical pet.

However, despite trying various main materials, the experiment still failed.

There is no set pattern to this cultivation method.

Even if the same materials are used and the ritual steps are followed exactly, the results will be different.

When it comes to things involving the occult, it all comes down to luck.

Thinking about this, he came up with the next main culture material.

However, Matthew did not proceed with another training ceremony.

Based on the estimated time, the magic cruise ship should be arriving at the port soon.

Therefore, Matthew plans to continue the training ceremony after boarding the ship.

He packed his things and planned to leave now.
