Wizard Immortal

Chapter 105 Request

In the spacious room, everyone looked at Mokra, who had stood up, with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Mokra didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point: "You are all wizards from my Ancient Armor City, so you must know about the recent situation in the city."

"Is another war about to break out?" Hearing Mokra's words, the white-bearded Siral frowned and exclaimed, "Wasn't it just a test?"

"That was just something they said to appease the public."

Mokra shook his head: "Winter has arrived now, and the orcs in the north are short of food and are starting to become restless again."

"After discussion, Kosis and I decided to take advantage of the weather outside and launch a preemptive strike to wipe out several orc tribes."

"What does that have to do with us?" Aisha interjected from the side, her expression seemingly unmoved.

Hearing her words, the others around her remained silent, clearly sharing the same thought.

"If any of you are willing to accompany me on this expedition, each of you will receive twenty magic stones."

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Mokra spoke.

"this···"

Upon hearing Mokra's conditions, the apprentices below exchanged glances, clearly hesitant.

Seeing their hesitation, Mokra frowned slightly beneath his cold mask and raised the stakes further: "If everyone is willing to participate, after the deed is done, in addition to the reward given by the city lord, I will personally give each of you a petal of the Necromancer's Flower!"

"Alright... since that's the case, then this old man will go with you."

After hesitating for a moment, he sat in the corner, and the white-bearded Sylar patted his chest, the loud sound echoing throughout the spacious room.

"I'll join too... This is a good opportunity to collect some orc blood." Aisha nodded and spoke up last.

Sitting beside her, Sid didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.

Of those present, only Adir remained silent.

"Adir, didn't you ask Kosis to investigate the mutated orcs for you a while ago?"

Looking at Adir, Mokra understood that the magic stones were of little appeal to Adir, a "potion apprentice," so he spoke directly: "Our target this time is a large orc tribe, where there might be clues about some mutated orcs."

Upon hearing this, Adir lowered his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

"Very good, then please be on time."

Seeing Adir's expression, Mokra nodded and looked at the apprentices around him.

After the matter was finished, the apprentices present left and went their separate ways.

"Lord Adier..."

As I was walking down the street, a voice suddenly called out to me.

Upon hearing the sound, Adir paused, stopping the horse and turning to look behind him.

Behind them, several knights in leather armor rode on horseback, escorting the central carriage as it sped toward Adir and his companions.

As they approached, a tall woman dressed in white robes stepped out of the carriage, her body radiating a faint magical aura—it was Aisha.

"Lady Aishar, is there anything I can help you with?"

Looking at Aisha who had walked up to him, Adir asked with some confusion.

"Lord Adir, do you have time to speak with me alone for a while?"

Standing still, Aisha smiled alluringly and extended an invitation to Adir.

After glancing around and looking at Aisha in front of him, Adir nodded and accepted her invitation.

"Wait for me here," he said to Eld beside him, then mounted his horse and quickly followed Aishar to the side.

"There's no one here anymore. You can tell me what you need to say now."

Looking at Aisal, Adir spoke directly.

"Lord Adir is a potion apprentice, right?"

After listening to Adir's words, Aisha pondered for a moment before speaking: "Lord Adir, I wonder if you would be interested in obtaining a potion recipe?"

Hearing this, Adir was taken aback, then realized what he meant: "What potion?"

"A unique awakening potion," Aisha said. "As Mokra just explained, my own school of magic practices a unique form of blood magic."

Adir nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Blood magic is a rare branch of magic from ancient times. It is said to have originated from a powerful and bloody world, and its power is immense." Looking at Adir, Aisha slowly explained, "However, although this kind of blood magic is powerful, it also brings some problems when casting spells. It can cause some mental confusion to the caster, and a specially prepared sobering potion is needed to suppress it."

"Because our school of thought has declined and its lineage has been broken, although the recipe for the Awakening Potion still exists, there are no more apothecaries."

"So, you want me to concoct a sobering potion for you?"

At this point, Adir understood somewhat.

Hearing Adir's words, Aisha nodded: "Yes, in all these years, you are the only apothecary I have ever met."

"Moreover, this is a win-win situation."

At this point, a smile appeared on her face: "Although the Clarity Potion was specifically developed to suppress the confusion during blood spell casting, many of its concepts can still be used as a reference."

"Getting such a potion formula for free is not a bad deal for you."

Aishar smiled and said, "You just need to promise me that after you've concocted this sobering potion, you'll provide me with some for free, in consideration of the formula."

Hearing this, Adir pondered for a moment and then said, "It's just a basic potion... If the ingredients for the potion can be gathered, I don't have a problem with that."

"However, I have one request." He looked at Aishar in front of him with a smile: "I am very interested in some things about your school. After I have refined the Awakening Potion, if possible, I would like to join your school and learn something."

"Of course, knowledge is expensive."

After a pause, Adir added, "As the price for learning knowledge, I am willing to pay one hundred magic stones at once, and when I learn the advanced knowledge of your school, I am willing to exchange it with an equal amount of knowledge."

"And that way you can rest assured that I'm deliberately avoiding making the sobering potion."

Upon hearing this, Aisha's pale face returned to normal, and she hesitated slightly before beginning to seriously consider the matter.

Generally speaking, wizards of different schools tend to be quite conservative and value their own lineage highly. Under normal circumstances, they would never allow their school's knowledge to leak out.

However, the fact that Aisha was willing to hand over the potion recipes passed down in her school to Adir shows that although she belongs to a school of wizards, she does not care as much about the leakage of her school's knowledge as other wizards do.

Moreover, one hundred magic stones was a huge sum of money for her.

Although the Awakening Potion is a potion recipe, it is only a basic potion, and it was specifically developed to address the casting problems of blood magic. It has no effect on other wizards.

Such a potion formula, if taken out, would be less valuable than a full-feeding potion in the eyes of those alchemists. It would be considered a high price if it could sell for a few dozen magic stones, and it wouldn't even be worth a hundred magic stones.

Furthermore, Adir traded the same advanced knowledge, and all these conditions combined finally made her make up her mind.

"Alright." After thinking for a long time, she nodded: "But let's make it clear beforehand, I can exchange that knowledge, but I won't teach you our school's unique spells and secret techniques."

Hearing her words, Adir nodded, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.

The reason he paid the price was simply to obtain the knowledge circulating within the opposing school of thought. As for the spell templates, although he cared about them, he didn't value them.

For wizards, knowledge is fundamental. While magic is powerful, it is merely a means of applying knowledge, and is by no means as valuable as knowledge itself.

Moreover, as an academy wizard, Adir himself was not lacking in magic.

Having reached a deal, they quickly left the area and returned to the city with their respective guards.

half a month later.

As the appointed time with Mokra arrived, Adir headed towards the agreed-upon location.

When they arrived, the knights who had greeted Adir last time were already waiting there, seemingly there specifically to see Adir.

Upon seeing Adir's arrival, he quickly stepped forward, a respectful smile on his face: "Lord Adir, the city lord is already waiting inside."

Adir nodded, and after telling Eld and the others to stop outside, he went straight inside.

Upon entering, Kosis and Mokra were already sitting inside, seemingly discussing something.

"Haha, Adir, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Adir, Kosis stood up laughing: "You're here early! There's still plenty of time before we set off!"

"Hasn't the others arrived yet?" Adir asked, looking at Kosis with some confusion.

"They won't be here for a while." Hearing Adir's words, Kosis shook his head and said, "You can rest for a while. We'll be walking a long way before we set off."

Hearing this, Adir nodded, glanced at Mokra sitting to the side, and then sat down beside him.

After a while, when the others arrived, Kosis looked at the sky and finally decided to set off.

A team of over a thousand people began to move out, slowly emerging from the vast training ground.
