Wizard Immortal

Chapter 174 News

As I quietly entered the inner city, more and more figures gradually appeared around me.

Contrary to Adir's expectations, the inner city was not entirely populated by wizards; there were also many ordinary people, though in very small numbers.

Most of these people carried some kind of protective gear and did ordinary work in the inner city to keep it clean.

After completing their daily tasks, these people would leave the inner city to avoid the high levels of radiation damage it contained.

As you walk through, you see many neat-looking villas all around, and they all appear to be inhabited.

This is the residential area of ​​the inner city, where many wizards choose to live.

After passing through this area, Adir arrived at another area under Terence's guidance.

Shops began to appear around them, and wizards dressed in various styles moved among them. This familiar scene reminded Adir of the time he spent at Uraldor Academy.

Upon arriving here, Terence parted ways with Adir, seemingly having something to attend to as well.

"Such a lively scene has been a rare sight since I left the academy."

Standing there, looking around, Adir couldn't help but think, "I wonder how the academy is doing now."

Thinking this to himself, he walked in after a while and looked around.

"Sir, you look unfamiliar." A voice suddenly rang out from the side.

It was a young man wearing a blue robe who looked very approachable, and he was looking at Adir with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter?"

Adir was somewhat surprised to see the apprentice before him.

Do you need a mentor?

Seeing Adir's expression, the young man didn't say much and directly stated his purpose: "This inner city is very large, and many places inside are very difficult to find. If this is your first time here, sir, you can choose to let me lead the way."

At this point, he raised a finger: "For just one magic stone, I will stay by your side for a whole day."

"A mentor?"

Adir glanced casually at the young man before him and nodded: "Take me to the antique shop nearby first."

"Antiques? Oh, sir, you must be a collector!"

Hearing Adir's words, the young man smiled warmly: "Sir, please follow me, I will take you to the largest antique shop nearby."

Following the young man, after a while, they arrived at a very large shop.

The shop was large and old, but there weren't many people around, so business didn't seem to be doing very well.

Upon entering, an elderly man was quietly resting on a counter.

This was an elderly second-class apprentice. Upon hearing footsteps outside, he quickly got up from the wooden table, covered his eyes, and then his expression turned serious as he sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Adir.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

He quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, which surprised the young man in blue robes who was acting as his guide.

Although he was also in the inner city, this young man was not a wizard apprentice, but just an ordinary person working in the inner city.

Not to mention a formal wizard, even the antique shop owner who was a second-class apprentice in front of him was a remarkable figure in his eyes.

Judging from the old man's behavior, Adir's identity must be even stronger.

"Could it be a third-class apprentice... or even a fully-fledged wizard?"

In that instant, many thoughts flashed through the young man's mind, and his expression became even more enthusiastic and humble.

"I'd like to take a look around here, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Standing still, looking at the surrounding furnishings, Adir spoke.

"Of course, if you want to see it, you can just look at it."

Looking at Adir, the old man in the antique shop maintained his respectful expression and slowly walked away.

Adir nodded slightly and walked ahead.

The shop was large, with wooden shelves around it displaying various items that looked quite old.

Antique shops in the wizarding world are naturally different from those in the mortal world. What wizards consider antiques often have a history of thousands of years, and most of them are even related to wizards.

Walking quietly in the corner, standing in front of an ancient white tree branch, Adir reached out and felt it.

The icy touch traveled up my arm, carrying a unique chilling sensation that reminded me of the ice on a glacier.

"This is a branch of the Coldfall Tree. It was preserved using special methods and is now five thousand years old. It's quite a nice item."

Seeing Adir's actions, the old man in red standing to the side explained.

Strictly speaking, this is not an antique, but it still has some collectible value.

Quietly nodded and Adir walked to the other side.

Amid the astonished gazes of the two people beside him, Adir touched the objects in each place he walked, as if he were feeling their texture.

"Not a single one."

As he walked out of the antique shop, Adir frowned as he thought about the scene he had just witnessed.

His reason for searching for antique shops was not that he actually wanted to collect anything, but rather that he wanted to see if he could come across anything from another world.

After that previous incident, Adir had a vague idea about the formation of the coordinates of the world within his body.

To establish coordinates in other worlds, one would probably need to first come into contact with objects from those other worlds.

And these kinds of things are undoubtedly more likely to be found in places like antique shops.

"wrong···"

Recalling the scene just now, Adir muttered to himself, "Those ordinary things are fine, but there are several different items. Judging from their style, they might have originated from another world. Why doesn't that work either?"

Standing there, he recalled what had happened.

Those items also gave him a certain feeling. The moment he touched them, a tremor ran through his soul, but it was very weak and disappeared in a flash, far from being comparable to the last time.

"Could it be... that besides otherworldly items, other life conditions are also required?"

Thinking back to the last time, Adir frowned and muttered to himself.

After thinking for a while, he quickly headed to the next place, led by the guide beside him.

However, as before, although some otherworldly items could be found in the other places, they did not elicit any reaction from Adir.

However, he did not come away empty-handed.

During the day, in addition to searching for otherworldly items, he also inquired about some information about traveling to the Maison region.

The news that finally arrived made Adir's heart sink.

To reach the Maison area, you must use an airship.

However, to travel to the Maison area by airship, one needs to wait for the airship's departure time and also obtain a ticket to board it.

The number of airship slots each year is actually controlled by the wizarding organizations in this region. Ordinary wizards, without a powerful backer, have no way of getting a spot to board.

Of course, this is not absolute.

The journey from the northern plains to the Maison region is equally dangerous, requiring the wizard to contend with powerful storm tides and dangerous creatures along the way, all of which could lead to their demise.

The dangers on the road, along with other factors, could lead some wizarding organizations or families to forgo their own spots and instead offer their boarding passes in exchange for useful resources.

If Adir wants to board a ship bound for the Maison region, this is the only way.

"Let's go check it out tomorrow..."

Standing still, reflecting on the information he had gathered, Adir walked in the other direction.

The facilities in this inner city are very complete, including state-of-the-art laboratories that can be rented temporarily for a fee. The conditions there are much better than the advanced laboratories that Adir used to use at the academy.

"Entering the cleanroom environment..." As I stepped inside, the voice of the chip-like machine echoed in my mind once more.

Gently closing the door, Adir walked to the experimental table in front, took out the things he had prepared, and began to prepare the medicine.

The process ended quickly. A little over half an hour later, when Adir walked out of the laboratory again, he had a bottle of glass solution in his hand.

Inside the medicine bottle, a silvery light shimmered, making it appear very bright.
