Chapter 178: Human Hearts Are Unpredictable, The Battle to Destroy the City (Verification Successful! 10,000 words, seeking subscriptions and votes, 68000 votes)

The next day.

After spending the night practicing in the small inn, Li Wei opened the window and let the sea breeze blow in.

Streaks of light occasionally streaked across the sky.

Based on Li Wei's rough perception, although the Hotwind Harbor Wizarding Alliance claimed to have twenty official wizards, there were actually at least thirty or more official wizards residing in Hotwind City.

Hotwind City is a place similar to the Blacksail Wizarding Market, so it's normal that there are probably many rogue wizards living here.

Unlike the “two superpowers and many strong” wizarding organization structure in District 9, District 8 has almost only one absolute hegemon, namely the Hotwind Harbor Wizarding Alliance.

Aside from this third-circle wizarding organization, there are only a few second-circle wizarding organizations. The others have been "peacefully" merged into the rapidly expanding Hotwind Alliance. The Hotwind Alliance's reliance on its renowned potion and weapon manufacturing industries has generated enormous profits for it.

Coupled with the prestige of the two third-ring wizards, many small organizations succumbed to the pressure and chose to compromise, as their official wizards had been almost entirely poached by the Hot Wind Alliance, making even normal teaching a problem. Although such behavior was somewhat shameless to many wizarding organizations, it did not violate the laws of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council, so everyone dared not speak out against it.

It is said that Master Flame is a highly ambitious and insightful third-ring wizard. He has been in the third-ring realm for a century and is now three hundred years old. His strength is exceptionally powerful, making him arguably the strongest person in the Eighth District. His goal is to bring the entire Eighth District under the control of the Hot Wind Alliance, making the Crimson Flame Tower the absolute ruler of this sea area.

In Li Wei's view, those who can do these things in this remote region must have connections and backgrounds in the Tower of Stars, just like Morpheus. The reason he is so unscrupulous is because he has the support of that mysterious fifth-ring powerhouse.

To be honest, Levi didn't have a good impression of the Burning Faction. So far, the two official Burning Faction wizards he had met, Cain and Turrell, were not good people.

Perhaps because their meditation practice involves the element of fire, the wizards of the Burning School generally seem to have a more aggressive, volatile, and explosive personality. They are quick to resort to violence at the slightest provocation and are the type who would rather fight than talk.

Of course, it's also possible that the fact that the Sun God Amon is the current Grand Council Speaker has made the Burning Faction wizards a bit too arrogant.

The certification exam for registered pharmacists is in two days. Li Wei currently has 10,000 Tai Shi in cash. He plans to stroll around Hotwind City and see if he can buy anything he likes. Of course, he'll only buy some cheap items; he needs to save the Tai Shi to purchase potion formulas at the Sea and Sky Wizarding Festival.

As he wandered around, Li Wei came to a small shop.

"Dog's Witchcraft Shop".

"So this guy runs a witchcraft shop here."

Li Wei thought of the guy, Dogg, who had struck up a conversation with him yesterday, and a slight stirring appeared in his heart.

The shop is closed now, otherwise Li Wei would like to go in and check the prices of witchcraft items and learn about the market conditions of witchcraft items in the Eighth District.

Afterwards, Li Wei quickly browsed through all the shops in Hotwind City and returned to his hotel satisfied.

"I actually found a book on endurance breathing techniques."

Li Wei took out a copy of the "Mountain Wolf Breathing Method" transmission diagram. It was a rudimentary breathing method that Li Wei had found in an antique shop.

The Mountain Wolf Breathing Technique can be cultivated to the fifth level limit. Although it's terrible, it still gives you 2 points to break through the limit.

Endurance-type breathing techniques are too rare; every little bit helps.

Apart from that, he didn't encounter any medicine formulas, which was within Li Wei's expectations.

That evening, Li Wei practiced the Golden Serpent Breathing Technique in the inn. Of course, he didn't completely relax.

His spider-sense was giving him a faint warning today, which wasn't a good sign. Either someone in Hotwind City wanted to harm him, or some of Li Wei's enemies were cursing him from afar.

The golden snake forked and flickered, its advanced senses activated; after all, it was a foreign land, and being cautious was always a good idea.

[Golden Snake Breathing Technique Proficiency +56]

After Li finished his repairs.

It was already late at night.

He opened his eyes, and suddenly his expression changed.

He sensed a familiar aura approaching the inn through his forked tongue. Beside this aura was another unfamiliar aura, which also appeared to be a first-ring wizard.

"Dog".

Although it was coming towards Li Wei, he didn't know whether it was coming towards him or someone else.

"Don't concern yourself with things that have nothing to do with me."

Li Wei was talking to himself.

He carefully recalled that since he arrived at this place, he had absolutely not provoked this person, nor had he been involved in any trouble. So he thought he was overthinking it. However, as the spider sense became stronger, Li Wei knew...

These two people are most likely after me, and they are hostile towards me!

Adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble," he left the hotel.

At the same time, confirm whether Duoge is targeting you.

Li Wei left the hotel, his figure darting away, quickly disappearing from the surface of the sea and diving into the ocean depths.

Anyway, he has whale lungs, so he can stay inside for three days and three nights without any problem.

Before long, two black-robed flame-patterned wizards riding on fire appeared on the sea surface, floating in mid-air.

"Hmm? They've gone into the sea? This must be an accomplice that old woman Laura hired. She even said she was here to certify apothecaries. I've heard that Laura and Mylin from the Gray Tower are quite close, so this person must have been sent by Mylin." Dog thought to himself with a cold smile.

He wasn't sure at first, but after Li Wei sensed his arrival, he actually left the hotel on his own initiative.

What does this mean? It means that Li Wei has something to hide.

If there were no ghosts, why would Li Wei run away?

He must be feeling guilty!

That's the logic of the multi-grid.

He didn't actually intend to kill Li Wei. After all, Li Wei was a formal wizard of the Gray Tower, and the Gray Tower itself also had a newly promoted third-circle wizard. In addition, with the protection of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council Act, it would be unwise to kill a first-circle wizard at will.

He simply wanted to bring Levi to Lord Clare so that Lord Clare could find out whether Levi was one of the Greenwood Witches.

Rumors circulate that the Green Forest Witch and the Flame Master are having a strained relationship. In reality, their conflict goes far beyond mere discord; they are now locked in a fierce and covert struggle, just short of a public brawl.

"Never mind, it's enough to know they're up to something. I need to inform Lord Klaue and prepare accordingly. This person's arrival suggests that the Gray Tower might get involved in what's to come, so we must be extra careful, since they're also a third-ring wizarding organization." Dogg's voice entered his companion's mind.

Another first-ring wizard, Hind, transmitted his voice, saying, "That's right. Even if this person really is here to register as a pharmacist, we need to keep a close eye on him at this critical juncture, otherwise things could easily go wrong. Whatever you do, being careful and cautious is never a bad idea."

Although the bay is not large, it is very deep. Dog is a wizard of the Burning Faction and does not possess the kind of magic that allows him to dive into the deep sea. Ordinary diving potions are not enough for a wizard with a weak constitution like him to withstand the enormous pressure of the deep sea. Moreover, the power of the Burning Faction's magic is greatly reduced in the sea, so he definitely cannot go down.

Although his other companion, Hind, was from the ocean school, he was vulnerable to being ambushed if he went down alone. So, after thinking for a moment, Dogg said with a sneer, "Let's wait and see. Let him stay in the sea. I don't believe he won't come out."

The bay wasn't large; if Li Wei were to surface, he would be detected by Dogg and the others using their perception spells. They didn't believe Li Wei could stay there for a whole day; that would mean he had already left the harbor.

then……

As the sun rises, the sea is covered with golden clouds.

On the ship, Dogg and Hindt looked slightly tired.

They spent the entire night intensely using their perception spells to search, but that damned Levi really was just staying in the deep sea and wouldn't come out...

"Could that person be a half-sea creature? Or has he already left, or has he mastered some kind of profound magic to conceal his aura?" Sindeter wondered.

"Let's go! Don't waste time, this person has most likely already left," Dogg said.

"Shouldn't we wait a little longer? Should I go downstairs?" Hindt hesitated for a moment before saying.

Dog thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's not wait. Now that that bitch Laura has found an ally of the Gray Tower, we need to be prepared too. Let's ignore him for now. A first-ring wizard can't do anything. What we're worried about isn't him, but the attitude of the Gray Tower behind him."

"Okay, let's go."

The two first-ring wizards communicated telepathically, and then quickly left.

deep sea.

Li Wei detected that the two people had already left the range of his snake tongue.

He didn't rush up, but instead pondered in the dark depths of the sea.

"What did I do? Why are they hostile towards me for no reason?"

Feeling somewhat aggrieved, Li Wei leaned his over two-meter-tall, imposing body against a giant underwater rock. In a fit of anger, he smashed an unknown sea monster that was passing by with a single punch.

"This is outrageous! I haven't done anything, and I've been targeted for no reason. Is there no justice? Is there no law?"

"It's all my fault. I'm not strong enough. I'm too kind and approachable, which made people think I was an easy target, someone they would want to kick."

"Dog, the Hot Wind Alliance...you guys are really damned."

Li Wei felt gloomy and reflected on his recent behavior, but then he gave up reflecting on it.

"The fault lies not with me, but with them!"

"I need to figure out what's going on first, and then decide whether to continue with the pharmacist certification. I can get certified anytime, but I only have one life."

Li Wei stayed in the deep sea for another day, and then waited until the third day when he was originally scheduled to undergo the registered pharmacist certification. He did not rush to undergo the certification because he was unsure of the Green Forest Witch's attitude.

According to Teacher Mylin, although the Green Forest Witch looks cold, she is actually quite kind-hearted, and the Green Elves are the easiest to approach and interact with among the three major elf groups.

But now Li Wei is confused. The people in the Hot Wind Alliance are hostile to him, which makes him hesitant to get certified for the time being.

Therefore, Li Wei did not rush to Hotwind City, but instead stayed in the sea to experience the situation inside the city.

Suddenly, a terrifying explosion rang out in Hotwind City, echoing throughout the bay. As if this were some kind of signal, various magical roars followed, reverberating throughout the bay.

Li Wei stealthily poked his head out of the sea like a kappa.

He saw two groups of people clashing in mid-air on the streets of Hotwind City.

"What's going on? Why did they suddenly start fighting?"

Li Wei stared at the battlefield ahead, flames soaring into the sky, smoke billowing everywhere, and he was stunned.

Could it be that some dark wizard organization launched a sneak attack on the Hot Wind Alliance?

Until he saw two third-ring wizards, as dazzling as the sun, rising from the two towers, the Crimson Flame Tower and the Green Forest Tower, and then the two third-ring wizards began to exchange spells...

These two third-ring wizards are none other than Master Flame and the Greenwood Witch!

"Seriously? It's just a marital spat. They argue in bed and make up in bed. Does it really have to escalate to a war among third-ring wizards? Damn it, my plan to become a registered pharmacist is ruined too..."

Li Wei watched the battle from afar on the sea. The two groups were fighting fiercely, and as a mere first-level wizard, he naturally dared not go up to join in the fun.

If the Wizarding World hadn't yet invented satellites to cover the Endless Sea and cell phones for communication, Li Wei would have already called the Tower of Stars to report the incident.

Is this your rule of law?

In broad daylight, even the most skilled wizards began to fight each other.

Meanwhile, the two third-ring wizards were already locked in a fierce battle.

"You wretch! I am the leader of the Hot Wind Alliance! Don't go too far!" Master Flame, Crow, cursed angrily.

Klaus looked to be middle-aged, with graying temples and a noble air about him. He wore a crimson robe and casually threw out five fireballs with a wave of his hand. For a third-circle wizard like him, this kind of second-circle trick was a piece of cake.

The terrifying Five Fireballs spell exploded in the air, and the aftershocks could be felt as far as the bay as Li Weiyuan.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Green Forest Witch Laura, dressed in green robes and taller than her husband Crow, sneered, "Don't forget, Crow, I agreed to annex the Green Forest Tower to your Hot Wind Alliance because of our partnership. Now that we're no longer partners, I would have moved out long ago if it weren't for saving your face. I never expected you to be so petty, scheming against me and using me. If it weren't for my status as a second-circle senior apothecary, could you have recruited so many first-circle wizards? With your abilities? Do you think you could?"

The two third-ring wizards seemed to have some grudge or entanglement, and fought each other like enemies.

As the battle intensified, Li Wei, for his own safety, stopped watching and temporarily left the area. However, he did not go far; instead, he found the Basilosaurus and hid in a patch of seabed.

He didn't leave for two reasons: first, he was still concerned about his registered pharmacist certification; second, he wanted to figure out why Doge and the others were hostile towards him.

Now, Li Wei has firmly memorized the scents of Dog and Sindt. Once the great battle is over, he will return here, find Dog, and get to the bottom of things. Otherwise, he will have to worry about being targeted by others in the future.

The battle in Hotwind City continues.

However, the key to this war lies not in the inexperienced wizarding apprentices fighting amongst themselves, but in the first and second-ring wizards and, most importantly, the third-ring wizards.

Laura was like a green goddess. She possessed some elven magic and chanted her spells in an obscure elven language. These spells were similar to the plant-based magic within the life-related factions. However, as a green elf with a natural affinity for plants, these spells were incredibly powerful when wielded by Laura.

Laura's willow-like hair began to grow longer and longer, transforming into shimmering vines or whips that spread and grew in mid-air, enveloping Klaue's fireball. At the same time, in the Green Forest Tower, a giant nearly ten meters tall, covered in hard rock skin and clad in animal hides, leaped out, wielding a giant axe and hacking at Klaue.

This is the Mountain Giant, the biomimetic source of the Earth faction's first-circle spell, Wrath of the Mountain Giant. It is a creature from multiple dimensions, whose adults generally possess the strength of the third circle, and their numbers are extremely rare.

Laura, the mountain giant, has undergone modifications through her experiments and magic using the Life Science School, with various powerful bio-mechanical devices installed on her. For example, the mountain giant even has the head of a two-ringed hybrid dragon called the "Dragon Whale" on its chest.

At this moment, the dragon-horned whale opened its blood-red maw and unleashed a jet of water, far more exaggerated than that of the dragon king whale Leviathan, using water to counteract fire.

In addition, the mountain giant had a pair of fleshy wings on its back that blotted out the sky, howling with fierce winds and blowing the flames toward the Crimson Tower's camp.

"You bitch, you actually awakened this monster just to deal with me! You...you're going to be the death of me!" Klaus's face turned red as he muttered incantations, and a terrifying third-circle spell began to brew.

Third Ring Spell: Sunfire Burst!

Like a miniature sun, a fireball five meters in diameter appeared in the sky above Hotwind City. Klaus held it in his right hand, his crimson robes fluttering in the wind.

boom!

Blazing Explosion clashes with Mountain Giant!

The terrifying aftershocks of the flames spread through the air, and the city trembled. The power of the Third Ring Road was truly terrifying!

Fortunately, the battle took place in the sky; if it had been on the ground, countless houses and ordinary people would have been obliterated by the explosions.

On the other side of the battlefield of low-level wizards, Dogg and Hindt joined forces to fight against a first-ring senior wizard from the Green Forest Tower. Just when the two sides were evenly matched, five fireballs descended from the sky, directly engulfing the body of the first-ring senior wizard.

A beautiful, scantily clad second-ring witch stepped on the charred bone dust of a first-ring senior wizard in her leather boots, letting out a squeaky laugh.

"Thank you, Lady Fiery Witch!"

Dogg and Hindt bowed their heads in gratitude with respectful expressions.

The scantily clad, fiery-red witch chuckled and said, "Dog, you said a wizard from the Gray Tower has arrived. Where is he?"

"Lady Red Witch, that wizard might have run away... We haven't seen him since," Dogg whispered, trembling with fear.

This fiery red witch is Lord Clown's new favorite, and it was because of her that Lord Clown and Laura's final break was ignited. I don't know what kind of magic this witch has, that a mere second-circle wizard can win over a third-circle Clown.

"Oh, I see. Well, that's alright then. Maybe he really just came to get certified as a registered pharmacist." The Scarlet Witch said and then left.

As a second-ring wizard, she did not participate in second-ring battles because she had recently encountered a second-ring sea beast, the Sea Dragon Crocodile, in a sea area. Seeing that it was a hybrid dragon, she decided to take it down as well.

She believed that with her strength, she should be able to defeat even a half-dragon, but to her surprise, the damned second-ring sea beast was completely unharmed in the end. On the contrary, she was severely injured by the attack, which damaged her spiritual energy source, and she has not yet recovered. She is even unable to cast several important second-ring spells.

Therefore, when arranging the battle plan for this great war, Kraul told her to slack off and not participate in the battle of the second ring, because the current Scarlet Witch can only be considered as half a second ring wizard in terms of combat strength, and is too weak.

Anyway, there are more second-circle wizards on the Crimson Flame Tower side than on the Green Forest Tower, so we don't need her.

Just as the two three-ring battles in the sky reached a critical moment, a six-pointed star magic array suddenly appeared in the sky, and within the mysterious magic array, a figure wearing a robe of stars descended.

As soon as he arrived, his powerful spiritual energy swept across the entire city.

"Nonsense! Stop it! Do you think the Charter is just for show?"

The elderly man in the star-studded robes rebuked him coldly.

His hair was disheveled, completely white, and he looked untidy. He had a scruffy beard and looked like a serious wizard who did research every day.

He is Riemann, the Star Watcher of District 8.

In each area of ​​the outer and inner ring sea areas, there is a resident law enforcement officer, namely the Star Inspector.

They generally possess the strength to suppress any rebellion, but they will not intervene unless it involves a wizarding war that affects the entire region, given their status and position.

The three-ring war started by these two third-ring wizards has seriously affected the order of this area, so Riemann had no choice but to take action.

Of course, the reason he was able to arrive so punctually was because the Greenwood Witch had informed him beforehand. The Greenwood Witch realized that her former partner might turn against her at any time, which would inevitably trigger a large-scale wizard war, so she simply reported him in advance so that the Overseer could be prepared.

As a Star Watcher, possessing a spatial teleportation scroll issued by the organization, he could easily reach the scene of the incident.

In this respect, the actions of the Green Forest Witch are similar to those of Herman, the Tower Master, who reported to the Star Enforcers before his duel with Harland.

As a fourth-circle wizard, Riemann was incredibly powerful. Under normal circumstances, a fourth-circle wizard would not appear in such a godforsaken place as the outer ring. He was only here because of the organization's mission.

With a casual third-circle spell, Hand of the Sea Giant, a giant blue wave palm was formed, swatting away the menacing Kraul. Then he said to the Greenwood Witch, "Take away that modified creature of yours. It's prone to going berserk, and you might not be able to control it. It's best to use it sparingly."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Inspector." The Green Forest Witch obediently cast a spell to send the mountain giant back to the Green Forest Tower, then stopped her wizards and coldly stared at the stunned Crow.

How could Klaus not see the situation clearly? This bastard definitely has an unusual relationship with the Inspector, and might even be having an affair!

Otherwise, since it was clearly a fierce battle between the two sides, why did the inspector take sides, only hitting himself and not this bastard?

I, Clown, have been cheated on!

Klaus was furious.

As expected of the Green Elf, she cheated on me without me even noticing!

"Klaus, Laura, you two, as leaders of the Third Ring Wizarding Organization, led the organization in a civil war among wizards, causing huge casualties. Now, in the name of the Tower of Stars, and in accordance with the Pan-Plane Wizarding Council Act, I am arresting you, and you will be tried by the Wizarding Inquisition."

Hearing this, Klaus's expression changed slightly, but remembering he had connections, he said nothing. He figured even if he went to jail, that bitch would be with him. He was a third-ring wizard; the Pan-Plane Wizard Council wouldn't easily sentence him to death. In the potential future interplanetary wars, every third-ring wizard was a crucial backbone force. So, at most, he'd just have to stay in Abyss City for a while, and then he could regain his legal status upon release.

"Lola, your report against the Third Ring Wizard Klaus for colluding with the Black Wizarding Organization Black Sun Tower has been verified by the Pan-Plane Wizarding Council and is indeed true. This is a great achievement. According to the Pan-Plane Wizarding Council Act, you are temporarily exempt from going to the Wizarding Court to pay a fine of 100,000 Taishi and will enter a 100-year observation period. If there are no major violations during this period, you will be exempt from prosecution."

"Thank you, Inspector General. Laura's battle with Crow was for self-preservation, not intentional. I have a stone tablet here recording Crow's various illegal acts over the years." Laura waved her hand, and streams of light fell into Inspector General Riemann's palm.

"Okay, I've received all the evidence. You can leave now," Riemann said calmly.

"What?! You adulterous couple framed me? I didn't collude with the Black Sun Tower!" Kraul's expression changed drastically. "You bitch, you actually reported me? And it looks like you started doing it a long time ago, back when we were still partners!"

Laura left without saying a word.

"With witnesses and physical evidence, you still dare to argue? Kraul, surrender immediately." Riemann sneered, confident given his strength as a fourth-circle wizard.

Klaus's face turned ashen, then he suddenly burst into wild laughter: "Since that's the case, I'm not pretending anymore. I'm laying my cards on the table. I'm a member of the Black Sun Tower! Brothers, I'm outta here! Until we meet again!"

With a loud bang.

Klaus tossed a scroll into his hand.

The scroll is engraved with a pattern that resembles a black sun.

Fourth Ring Spell: Annihilation of the Black Sun!

Klaus's face was icy.

Indeed, the Black Sun Tower had approached him, trying to persuade him to join the Black Wizards organization, but he did not agree because he did not want to give up his identity and status in District 8, which was the foundation he had built up over a hundred years.

But now it has come to this.

Klaus then had no reason to hesitate.

Accompanied by the tearing of the reel.

A black, phantom sun appeared.

Riemann's expression changed drastically.

Fourth Ring Spell: Wall of Sea and Sky!

Between Riemann and the black sun, a blue curtain hundreds of meters high suddenly rose, reaching to the heavens and the earth, forming an indestructible barrier.

The black sun exploded silently, annihilating everything!

It seemed as if all the surrounding light had been drawn away, causing the bay to fall into darkness instantly...

Adam the Black Sun, a genius dark wizard from the Tower of the Black Sun, possessing the dual talents of "Child of Fire" and "Heart of Darkness," created his own fourth-circle spells!

Rumble!

The shockwave swept through.

The wall between the sea and the sky was torn apart.

The aftershocks rushed toward Riemann, who was flying away.

However, due to the barrier of the Sky-Sea Wall and the considerable distance, these aftershocks ultimately failed to shatter Riemann's fourth-ring defensive force field.

But Hotwind City is... finished.

Countless houses were destroyed, and countless mortals and wizards perished. Only the Crimson Flame Tower and the Green Forest Tower, thanks to the defensive array of the wizard tower and their distance, escaped the impact.

Riemann's face turned ashen.

"It really is a dark wizard?" he cursed inwardly, realizing that the casualties seemed to be quite heavy.

"That damned Black Sun Adam, he's always causing us trouble." Riemann chased after the last trace of Kraul's whereabouts, which had vanished into the harbor.

three days later.

Hotwind City was in ruins, resembling the apocalypse of Pompeii after a volcanic eruption.

Apart from a few wizards and wizarding apprentices, the vast majority of mortals and most wizarding apprentices died from the slightest aftershocks of the fourth-circle black wizarding spell, Black Sun Annihilation, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Laura's expression was complex as she gazed at the ruins of Hotwind City, her heart filled with bitterness. Because she had made preparations in advance, the losses to Green Forest Tower were not actually that great, but she still felt very uneasy.

At this moment, no one cared about Li Wei, who had traveled a long way and endured many hardships to get certified as a pharmacist.

But in the deep sea, hundreds of miles away from the bay.

Li Wei opened his eyes.

"The great war should be over by now."

"Do you think it's easy for me to get certified as a registered pharmacist? I didn't do anything, and I've just gotten caught up in this inexplicable infighting. If that Greenwood Witch dies, I'll have to go to District Seven to get certified."

There is no Pharmacist Association in District 10, otherwise Li Wei would have gone there instead of coming to District 8.

Moreover, Li Wei still had one thing to resolve; he needed to go find Dog.

With that in mind, Li Wei began heading towards Hotwind City. His spider senses didn't react much, so it seemed there wasn't much danger.

When Li Wei arrived in Hotwind City, he was dumbfounded.

"Such a big city, how come a large part of it is gone..."

Everywhere there were ruins and wreckage, everywhere there was an atmosphere of death and desolation.

"Are third-ring wizards really that powerful? This must be a fourth-ring wizard..." Levi wondered to himself.

If this was also caused by a third-ring wizard, then compared to others, the tower master, who is also a third-ring wizard, is really just a ball!

Regardless, Li Wei began to search for Dog's aura, wondering if Dog was still around even though three days had passed and the city was gone.

With his snake tongue, Li Wei quickly located Dog's aura. The aura of Sindet was gone; he didn't know if it was dead or had run off somewhere.

Thinking of this, Li Wei slightly changed his appearance. Although changing his appearance wouldn't be very useful for wizards who rely on mental power to recognize people, it was better than nothing.

He arrived in the inland area of ​​Ocean Stream Island. In an underground cave complex more than ten kilometers away, he sensed the aura of Doge. In addition, there seemed to be another unfamiliar aura, which was stronger than that of Godot. It gave Li Wei a strong sense of danger, seemingly between the first and second rings, which made Li Wei hesitate.

He stored the person's aura and began to wait patiently.

He sensed the presence of the two people from afar, and with the range of his snake tongue's perception, Li Wei was confident that they hadn't noticed him.

The next day.

One of them, who had brought Li Wei a lot of danger, finally left, leaving only Dogg.

After waiting for a while longer to confirm that the person had completely left, Li Wei's expression turned cold, and he quickly headed towards Dorge's direction.

In a very deep underground cave.

Dog leaned against the ground, his body covered in burn marks from the black sun, his face pale and contorted in pain.

"Damn Klaus, I was so loyal to him, and he abandoned me!" Dogg cursed inwardly.

For the past two days, he and the Scarlet Witch have been hiding in a cave deep underground in the inland region, evading the pursuit of the Tower of Stars. Located a thousand meters underground, the rock strata there have a significant insulating effect on mental power. Even the perception spells of a third-ring wizard would have difficulty penetrating this place, because most wizards' perception spells are based on mental power.

When Klaus, the leader of the Crimson Tower, committed a crime, his lackey Dog naturally couldn't escape responsibility either. However, most of the law enforcers were chasing after Klaus, and no one paid attention to this nobody, which allowed Dog to escape.

Suddenly, Dog noticed that someone had entered the cave.

Not the Scarlet Witch.

Dogg immediately became alert.

Just as a figure flashed towards him like a streak of blood, faster than Doge could have imagined, Doge's prepared fireball spell was already released.

boom!

The fireball explodes, engulfing the opponent.

The firelight illuminated the dark underground cavern.

Amidst the flames, a hideous black humanoid monster covered in black and gold scales appeared. The monster flicked its tongue, drool dripping from its mouth. It bathed in the flames, shook off the drool, and then came to Dog, grabbing the already weakened Dog and pressing him against the wall.

Click, click.

Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

Doge's heart-wrenching screams echoed through the cave.

All the bones in his limbs were shattered, including his hands.

Li Wei's frost-covered arms froze Doge's skin, and then he asked coldly, "Why did you hurt me?"

Dog was taken aback: "Who are you?"

Li Wei exerted sudden force, nearly strangling Dorge to death.

The scales on his face temporarily parted, revealing Li Wei's face.

"I just wanted to get certified as a registered pharmacist here, why are you trying to harm me?!"

"I don't like physical violence. I prefer to be kind to others and believe in making money through harmony. Why? Why are you forcing me?"

One by one, the armored scorpions had crawled onto Dog's body, slowly devouring his flesh.

Overwhelmed with pain, Dog said, "Lord Levi... it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding... We thought you were sent by the Green Forest Witch to oppose our Crimson Flame Tower... Please don't kill me, I beg you! I can pass on my crafting skills to you. My skills aren't with me; if you kill me, you'll never get them. Don't you want to become a crafting master?"

"In no mood."

Click.

Dog's head was crushed by Li Wei, and the Armored Scorpion hurriedly enjoyed this rare feast of a first-ring wizard's soul. Li Wei watched as the Armored Scorpion devoured Dog completely, picked up the other's storage bag, and remained calm and composed.

In this chaotic situation, killing Dog wouldn't cause any trouble. This person wanted to harm him no matter what, so he had to be killed. Therefore, Li Wei didn't hesitate at all!

He opened Doge's storage bag, glanced at it, and saw the book of crafting called "The Book of Star Forging Runes," which was clearly Doge's crafting heritage.

"You lied to me? Sorry, I lied to you too. I wanted to learn how to make tools."

Li Wei put everything away. Dogg had been eaten by the Armored Scorpion, leaving only bone fragments. Li Wei used a fireball spell to destroy the evidence and picked up a crimson glove from the ground. This was a first-level magical artifact that Dogg had just used to cast a spell.

After completing these tasks, Li Wei quickly left the area.

After leaving the crime scene, Li Wei took a long detour back to Hotwind City. He wasn't in a hurry to leave; he still needed to ask the Green Forest Witch if she could still conduct the apothecary registration exam for him.

Now, Li Wei has learned from Dog that the Green Forest Witch meant him no harm. To put it bluntly, it was a complete misunderstanding, but Li Wei was just unlucky enough to stumble upon it.

He arrived at the foot of the Green Forest Tower. The two guards who had been watching over it were gone, probably killed in the battle. At the top of the Green Forest Tower, the Green Forest Witch's cold voice said, "Come up. I can't let you come all this way for nothing."

Li Wei's face lit up with joy, and he said, "Thank you, Lady Laura."

He carefully reached the top, where the Green Forest Witch was accompanied by a silver-haired little girl, Celie, the genius girl with dual elemental affinity that Levi had met when he boarded the ship. This girl was originally intended for Clown, but now she was with Laura.

Besides, two other first-ring pharmacists were also here; they hid inside the Green Forest Tower and escaped unscathed.

"Let's begin. What potion do you want to concoct?"

"The Green Forest Witch asked."

"My lord, I have crafted a first-level Blood Elf Lament," Li Wei said.

"No problem," said the Green Forest Witch.

The subsequent refining process was effortless. Li Wei was already a senior first-level alchemist, and he had refined this kind of potion many times before. The possibility of failure was very small, so he was naturally very skilled and succeeded on the first try.

"Congratulations, Li Wei, a registered pharmacist of the first ring. In a while, you will receive a letter from the headquarters of the Pharmacist Association at the Gray Tower. Please check your mail; it contains your pharmacist's license. When you get back, please give my regards to Xiaomailin. Also, I hope you become an excellent pharmacist," Laura said.

"Thank you, sir! I am deeply grateful!" Li Wei left the Green Forest Tower with a respectful expression, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. The most important mission of this trip had been completed.

Of course, there was also an unexpected surprise.

That is the crafting tradition of Nadoge.

Although Li Wei had never intended to learn this skill, now that it was offered to him, he couldn't let it go to waste.

I'll take some time to learn it later, but I'll put it last in terms of importance, emphasizing a go-with-the-flow, Buddhist-like attitude.
