The Wizard: Starting with Infinite Part-Time Jobs

Chapter 45 The Kiss of Thorns, Vera's Dream

"Alright, alright, you all look at me like I'm going to my death and you want to die with me. I don't need your help." Aiden said with a smile, shaking his head and spreading his hands in a gesture of refusal.

However, seeing Bondi and Galatea's actions warmed his heart.

After he transmigrated, he only occasionally experienced this with his senior sister Winnie and Mr. Ford.

Just then, Vera, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, raising her chin slightly: "Deal. I can trade you the highest-level poison I currently possess, which is my ancestral poison called Thorn Kiss. ​​It is a mixed poison made by mixing the venom essence of black widow spiders and 15 other poisonous creatures."

After saying that, Vera took out a long, narrow glass bottle about the size of a thumb from her clothes. She held the bottle gently with her fingers, her movements very careful.

The bottle contained a purplish-red liquid that was constantly sloshing around, churning as if it were alive.

Even through the glass bottle, you could feel how potent the venom was; the surrounding air seemed to become somewhat oppressive because of its presence.

"So? I dare to give it to you, do you dare to take it?" Vera stared directly at Aiden, her eyes filled with provocation. "This Thorn Kiss has a stellar reputation. Even diluted and placed on the battlefield, it can easily poison thousands of well-trained soldiers. If it's not diluted, it might actually be able to deal with high-level wizard apprentices."

Vera became somewhat agitated.

She thought Aiden was crazy, but she herself was crazy too.

She also wanted to know if her family's ancestral poison could harm high-ranking wizard apprentices.

If possible, then he would have a way to deal with higher-level wizards.

Perhaps in the future he can use his poisoner profession as a foundation, integrate wizarding knowledge, and create an even more powerful profession.

This is also the dream that Vera has always pursued.

What others would avoid at all costs, she treated like a group of adorable little pets, and she loved them dearly.

Vera gently stroked the glass bottle containing the poison, a look of fascination on her face.

This also led to many people, even within the Fran Empire, not wanting to associate with her.

Until the day she met Galatea, who respected her preferences and encouraged her to pursue her dreams.

Although Galatea was also afraid of these poisons, the way she trembled as she comforted Vera had been deeply etched into Vera's heart, which led to some distorted psychological needs in Vera.

She wanted to conquer Galatea and make Galatea hers alone!

Bondi and Galatea both frowned, staring at the potion Vera was shaking in her hand. Bondi's face contorted in pain, his mouth agape as he yelled, "Hey, don't shake it like that! If you spill it, we'll be poisoned!"

Aiden reached out and covered Bondi's mouth, laughing as he said, "Since Ms. Vera is willing to make a deal, what do I have to fear?"

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand.

Aiden took the long glass bottle containing the deadly poison with a relaxed expression. As soon as his fingers touched the bottle, he felt a chill.

He held it up to his eyes and examined it closely. Looking at the strange purplish-red liquid, Aiden was overjoyed.

His lips curled into an uncontrollable smile: "This thing is really potent. If it can actually poison Mr. Ironbeard, then we'll have struck it rich."

"Aiden, if you need any help, just come to me," Galatea said through gritted teeth, seeing Aiden's somewhat delighted expression.

She found that her feelings for Aiden were different from before. At first, he was just a wizard seed promoted by Mr. Ford, but later he became a friend. Along the way, Galatea could see Aiden's efforts.

Later, Aiden became like a fog, completely suppressing Vera, whom even she could not handle.

"No need, you all go about your business. Vera, don't forget our deal. You're not allowed to use the bet to blackmail Galatea anymore." Aiden smiled, then grabbed Bondi and pulled her hard.

Bondi stumbled and almost fell, and the two left.

Vera gave Galatea a deep look, snorted, and said, "Galatea, I really don't understand what's so good about those stinky men."

She clearly saw in Galatea's eyes earlier that Galatea looked at Aiden with a different kind of gaze.

After saying that, she also deeply engraved Aiden's back in her heart. He was the first man who could directly suppress her, leaving her helpless and unable to figure out the reason no matter how hard she tried.

She stomped her foot hard, then left with a look of resentment.

Galatea was left alone in the room, lost in thought.

She sat in the chair, her hands supporting her chin, seemingly lost in thought.

……

Several months passed quickly. Aiden's training went extremely smoothly during these months.

Aiden has completely used up the ash wand he received from Mr. Ford.

Like the archer Rock, he began buying the cheapest walnut wand to practice his non-elemental magic arrows.

Because Aiden received ten magic stones as a reward every month, his training almost never stopped, and he quickly improved his proficiency in non-elemental magic arrows.

His overall assessment is very close to mastery. Facing a target 10 meters away, he has a hit rate of nearly 70%, leaving Rock, who previously had a higher hit rate, far behind. This has left Rock completely puzzled.

Besides practicing zero-ring magic arrows with no elemental attributes.

Aiden also focused more on the zero-level archery skill he had acquired, the Heart Piercing Arrow.

However, Aiden always conducted this training secretly in his own garden.

He didn't want others to know that he possessed archery skills.

The archer training went very smoothly, and he mastered the art of piercing the heart with remarkable skill. With the help of his special talent, Eagle Eye Accuracy, Aiden's progress was extremely rapid.

However, the only thing that bothered Aiden was that Mr. Ironbeard came to him almost every week to ask for the organisms from the laboratory.

"I'm too lazy to even pretend anymore," Aiden said through gritted teeth.
