Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 51 [51] Freedom Street, Exchanging Extraordinary Resources

Vast Ocean Wizard City

The inner sea is called the Vast Sea, which is closer to the interior of the Wizarding Continent. It is one of the most important maritime trading cities in the Underdark, and some wizards have even set up a maritime department, bringing endless profits from the sea.

The Thousand-Eyed Jellyfish that Wang Ya once encountered was part of the profits. The fishing by the sea wizard ships may not be comparable to the development of extraordinary resources in the wizard's secret realm, but if persisted, it has expanded the size of the Dark Land.

The salty sea breeze blew in from the west, seemingly making the deck rock incessantly. One by one, wizards, like newborn ducklings, stuck their heads out of the deck, looking at everything in the wizard city on both sides of the street.

Compared to the ancient wizard city, this place is even more prosperous, bustling with people everywhere. Where there are wizards, there are naturally also mortals. In the wizard city, where particle energy radiation is severe, most mortals don't live past fifty, but perhaps they can seize that slim chance.

These mortals, yearning for the mysterious and extraordinary, included nobles, wandering poets, and knights. Those fortunate enough to pass through the bewitching magic array entered the wizarding city, witnessed the magnificent wizarding world, and had no desire to return to the mortal world they considered muddy.

Wizards also need mortals; various wizarding experiments inevitably involve human observation and experimentation. This led to the tacit acceptance of mortal reproduction, and even the addition of energy radiation shielding functions to urban wizarding arrays.

Even some ordinary people are willing to trade their bodies in the slave market for magic stones or other extraordinary resources, satisfying the principle of equivalent exchange.

But Wang Yade admitted that after the wizard ship passed the slave market, his senses were greatly stimulated. There were not only humans, but also elves, humanoids, and many other races. Those numb eyes belonged to walking corpses.

Many new wizards, who had not yet developed a wizarding heart, were even frightened, their faces turning pale. The Vast Ocean Wizard City, while more prosperous than the Ancient Forest Wizard City, also revealed the realities of the wizarding world more clearly.

Gray, on the other hand, remained as carefree as ever, showing little reaction to the situation. However, he had previously approached him privately on the ship, making comments like "You've been hiding it well," "You're a genius," and "You don't treat me like a brother."

Whoosh!

The wizard's ship came to a stop, and the waves it stirred up crashed onto the dock, splashing water droplets.

Compared to the mortal laborers dragging ropes to bind and secure stakes, there were far fewer wizards. Wizard Is was the first to disembark and began to speak with a figure approaching from the opposite direction, whose robes bore dark wizarding runes.

Lando the Wizard couldn't help but yawn, looking lazy and sleepy. For some reason, Wang Ya felt a sense of familiarity with him. He looked just like those young people in his previous life who were "giving up" or "lying down."

"Kid, there's something off about your eyes. I have a feeling you're talking bad about me." Wizard Lando suddenly glanced at Wang Ya.

The other new students on the ship were drawn to the scene, and when they saw the Demon King Ya being reprimanded by the wizard, they immediately adopted a look of anticipation. Behind his reputation lay bloody corpses, which exerted immense pressure on most of the new students, making them hesitant to approach. This oppressive atmosphere needed to be broken through in another way.

But to their disappointment, Wang Ya showed no fear or nervousness. His expression remained calm as he bowed slightly and said, "Lord Lando Wizard, you jest. I..."

"Alright, alright, stop, stop! I'm really scared of you!" Wizard Lando quickly interjected. "Why do you, little wizard, talk just like that old, rigid Saiyan? And like that ruthless Is."

She muttered under her breath, "I didn't know. I thought you were related to Saiya or Is."

Lando the Wizard quickly shut up. The indifferent-faced Is the Wizard boarded the ship, glanced at him, and the former gave an awkward smile.

"Disembark. You are allowed to stay in the Vast Ocean Wizard City for one day and one night. Tomorrow at noon, proceed to the teleportation array in the center of Wizard City."

Wizard Is added, "The location of the wizard's manor where you will stay has also been reserved. The wizard's mark will tell you the location, room number, and meeting place for tomorrow."

After saying that, he left the wizard ship without hesitation, his figure blending into the crowd on the street.

The group of new wizards didn't know what to say, but this was very much like Is Wizarding.

Lando the Wizard yawned. "Let's go, I'm going to the mansion for a good nap too."

The Windwalker Wizard was quite responsible. Before disembarking, he gave a word of advice: "Hanhai Wizard City is a wizard city under the rule of our Dark Lands. You bear the mark of Dark Wizards, so there is no danger for you. Of course, it's best to stay in the manor and not go out. If you do anything and cause any trouble, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Wang Ya's heart stirred. He still had quite a few unnecessary extraordinary materials in his silver bracelet that he needed to sell. He also wanted to take the opportunity to learn about the prices in the wizarding world and adapt to its rules.

More importantly, it was to avoid suffering losses in this regard later. Wang Ya only had a superficial understanding of the wizarding world, or had only learned about it from books.

Eighty magic stones—I wonder what you could buy with that kind of purchasing power. He thus became the first among the new students to disembark from the wizard ship.

Gray's voice was shouting from behind. There were also many top-notch freshmen who wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him, but when they followed him off the ship, they found that Wang Ya's figure had disappeared into the crowd, and they could only shake their heads.

Gray couldn't help but exclaim, "That kid, he runs so fast, I wonder what he's up to this time." As he spoke, he teased the half-human-sized lizard he was holding, "Kobick, you're the best, let's go to the mansion together."

The creature's skin transformed into that of a large, black lizard, which extended a long, forked tongue and licked Gray's lips, causing his expression to stiffen. But Piccolo's tongue was poisonous; it would take another half a day to detoxify him using particle energy.

"Kobik, I think my brother Wang Ya is a million times better than you!"

The massive pendulum, weathered by the sea breeze, had stopped spinning. Standing beneath this prominent clock tower in the city, Wang Ya found himself at a fork in the street. The street ahead was frequented by wizards, while the street he had come from was a mix of mortals. Two other paths branched off: one led to the slave market across the sea, a short walk from which lay the high arched bridge; the other led to the city center, home to the wizard's mansions, wizard's restaurants, and other buildings.

Harak obediently perched on Wang Ya's shoulder, his blood-red pupils watching the passing crowd alongside Wang Ya. Beneath the sleeves of his black wizard's robe, Wang Ya spread his palm, glanced at the dark wizard's mark, and finally walked into the street where there were more wizards.

This street is the Free Street of Wizard City, where extraordinary items are traded.
