Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 175 [175] The Black Tower's One Hundred and Twenty Years of Waiting

Killing the chief wizard of the Rotten Lands would cause even more trouble.

Wizards who go out to handle wizarding missions will have their wizarding marks provide information about their survival. Once a wizard dies, the wizarding marks will also disappear.

The Dark Lands headquarters will receive the message immediately, and the footage recorded by the True Vision Sphere will be transmitted to the Dark Lands processing center.

If the wizards of the Rotten Lands sense something and send wizards to hunt them down, then things will be in trouble.

For the two of them, the trip to the licorice camp was for the Black Sun Ruins, and it was best to keep their identities as secret as possible.

Passing through a mortal kingdom, Kazeantun threw the two men into the royal palace. What the mortals would do upon seeing them was none of their concern.

As evening fell, the two finally saw the buildings of the licorice camp. It was a large complex of buildings built in a canyon. The outer area was a huge cluster of tents, while the inner area was a large number of buildings, and there were even a large number of ordinary people building them.

These ordinary people must have come from the surrounding mortal kingdoms.

The strange thing is that mortals and wizards are in the same area.

Even at the outermost entrance of the licorice camp, there were many mortal kings with large entourages, leading large numbers of city guards, exchanging various raw materials and ores with corresponding wizards for things like magic stones and extraordinary potions.

Wang Ya's pupils gleamed with a deep blue, subtle light as he raised his gaze further, analyzing the terrain and topography of the surrounding mortal kingdom and even further afield.

So that's how it is; this is an area rich in natural particle energy.

Some extraordinary mineral veins are also buried underground. The mortal kingdom and the licorice camp have formed a symbiotic relationship, exchanging extraordinary items by mining the veins.

The main ore vein is definitely being mined by the Licorice Camp, but they haven't paid much attention to the smaller ore veins that exist.

The licorice camp was built here not only because it was an isolated place, but also probably because it was rich in extraordinary resources.

"Such abundant extraordinary resource veins, and such a high concentration of natural particle energy..." Kazeantun's words trailed off as he lowered his voice.

Wang Ya understood what he meant. Generally, the locations of wizard relics would have different geographical environments, and the cycle of the wizard array would also require a large supply of energy.

The probability that the Black Sun ruins are located here is over 60%.

There were many flying figures in the sky above this place. Their flying griffins were inconspicuous. Perhaps they were wizards from the Rotten Land, or some wild wizards. There was no way to confirm their identities, after all, it was impossible to remove the Dream Mask from someone else's face.

"The location recorded on the Black Sun Medal needs to be inspected in person. But before that, let's head into the Licorice Camp and purchase some extraordinary resources."

They had already been discovered by the monitoring magic array of the Licorice Camp when the flying griffins appeared in the Interval Land.

At the licorice camp's stalls, wizards came and went, occasionally stopping to select extraordinary items, but only a few actually made a purchase, as they couldn't be sure if the items were genuine.

Buying and selling here relies entirely on your eyesight, and the chances of being ripped off are far greater than in the free zones of some wizarding cities.

Deep within the Licorice Camp stands a circular tower, where the three Obi brothers reside. They all possess the strength of ultimate wizard apprentices and are the masters of the Licorice Camp.

"Gam, it's been 120 years, and you still haven't given up? It's impossible to collect all five Black Sun Medals. In this vast Wizarding Continent, you could wait here your whole life and still not find them."

At the top of the circular tower, a somewhat angry voice echoed; it was a woman's voice.

"Lola, I won't give up. I already have four Black Sun Medals, and I'm sure I'll get the fifth one."

The black-haired woman, dressed in a blue wizard's robe, had fair skin tinged with red, and her beautiful face was grim. Her fists clenched as she glared at the blond youth before her, angrily saying, "How can you expect to have such good luck forever? One hundred and twenty years have passed, and only two groups of wizards have come to search for the Black Sun Ruins. How long will it take to get the fifth Black Sun Medal? Ten years? Twenty years?"

"You've wasted too much time, Gamor Sack. It's all pointless. With your abilities, even without the Black Sun inheritance, you could still gain the favor of the adults at the Black Tower and acquire a considerable wizarding legacy."

"No, this is different. The Black Sun Wizard is not just a Level 2 Wizard; he has already advanced to a Level 3 Grand Wizard." The blond youth's eyes held an extraordinary determination. "The Level 3 Grand Wizard inheritance of the Black Tower only has three branches, which is far beyond my reach. On the contrary, the Black Sun inheritance is destined to be mine. The four Black Sun Medals are proof of this, and the fifth Black Sun Medal will not be far off."

There was one more thing Gamor didn't say. The Black Sun Legacy wasn't just the Black Sun Legacy itself; it also contained a secret known to the Black Sun Wizards, concerning the legendary rules.

The three level-three archmages of the Black Tower could only dream of it, but had no ability to achieve it.

Autumn Winter Laura bit her lip, her watery eyes filled with grievance, "One hundred and twenty years!! How many one hundred and twenty years is there in a lifetime? How many more one hundred and twenty years can you wait? The lifespan of a Limit Wizard Apprentice is only five hundred years."

"Gamor, if you come back to the Black Tower with me, I can help you advance from a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice to a Limit Wizard Apprentice within five years. I can also get my wizarding family to sponsor you. The Sack family behind you has never given up on you, otherwise they wouldn't have sent four Limit Wizard Apprentices to protect you. With the resources and connections of both families combined, we can both become full-fledged wizards within a hundred years."

"I won't go back."

Qiuqiudong's words were interrupted.

Gamo's expression was resolute and solemn. He glanced at the beauty whose eyes were red-rimmed, then turned his head away and said firmly, "After I obtain the Black Sun Inheritance, I will come back to find you. Laura, you should go back. I will not go with you."

Qiuqiu wiped her eyes, turned and left the room without saying another word to Gemo.

"Lola, forgive me. Pursuing the truth is what I want; feelings are secondary." Gamor took a deep breath. "Once I obtain the Black Sun's inheritance, I will accept your feelings and live up to your expectations."

Wang Ya and Kazeantun strolled through the stalls at the Licorice Camp, their eyes scanning the extraordinary items on display.

If they come across something suitable and good, they will each spend magic stones to buy it.

Especially at times like these, we must not be in a hurry.

First, understand the local situation before taking any action.

Kazeantun was experienced and surprised by Wang Ya's behavior and manner; he was too seasoned, as if he had experienced it many times before.

The two maintained a frequency of information transmission based on their extraordinary mental strength.

"It's getting dark. Let's get a feel for the environment of the Licorice Camp today, at least we need to find out the number of Limitless Wizard Apprentices inside the circular tower."

"Indeed, we need to make some arrangements in advance and find safe evacuation routes."

All preparations are made to prevent various unforeseen circumstances.

"Wait. This is the aura of a Limitless Wizard Apprentice; the particle energy is even bursting forth." Kazeantun's expression beneath his Dream Mask turned serious, his pupils contracting as he looked towards the location of the circular tower deep within the camp.

The aura of that riot was even stronger than his, and the fluctuations of particle energy were more condensed.

This is something that rarely happens to him.

Even as a supreme wizard apprentice of the White Bone lineage, he believed he wouldn't lose by much; at most, he would lose in terms of the characteristics of particle energy.

At this moment, even just the aura alone made him realize that he was no match for them.

The Halak, curled up in Wang Ya's sleeve, trembled slightly, a reaction to sensing the delicious food. He twitched his brow and looked towards the direction of the circular tower.

At this moment, many perceptive wizards realized something.
