Wizard Immortal

Chapter 198 Mission

The wind was blowing in all directions, making it hard to open one's eyes.

Dozens of meters above the ground, a dozen tall, red giant birds flew at high speed, creating a strong gust of wind in the air.

Each of these giant birds is seven or eight meters long, with a very wide body. When their wings are spread, wisps of high-energy particles emanate from them.

Each of the giant birds carried several people on its broad back, and they were now traveling away with the birds into the distance.

Soon after, when they arrived at a plaza, the giant birds slowly landed, and the people on them jumped down.

We've arrived.

Jumping off the giant bird's back and gazing at the platform before him, Maddo's face showed a hint of melancholy: "This is the headquarters of the Emerald Hand, and also where you will be staying from now on."

As he spoke, he led his men forward.

Behind him, after glancing at the surrounding platform, Adir followed him slowly toward it.

As they walked along the road, following behind each other, Adir also observed the scenery around him.

Before me lay a flat platform, paved with clean, pure stone slabs, which looked as if a layer of jade had been laid out, making it very beautiful.

As they walked further in, a garden gradually unfolded, filled with flowers and fresh grass, bringing greenery and fragrance to the surroundings.

In the distance, there were fences enclosing the area, where some white horses with unicorn horns on their heads were strolling leisurely. They were much better than ordinary horses in both appearance and physique.

This is a wildebeest, a type of high-energy creature that possesses some of the bloodline of a unicorn, making it a very rare species.

In the Maison region, purebred unicorns only exist in the Silvermist Forest. They are powerful creatures that, once they reach adulthood, can rival a third-class apprentice, and their numbers are very small.

Although these wildebeests only have some bloodline of unicorns, they are still quite strong. Moreover, the unicorn horns on their heads are an extremely precious material, which is why they are being bred in captivity.

After taking a few more glances at the surrounding scenery, Adir and the others soon arrived at a spacious hall.

"McDo, you're back?"

Just as I stepped into the lobby, I heard a sound ahead, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

An old man in a large fur robe walked out of the hall with a smile. His hair was completely white, and he had a hearty grin on his face: "How was the harvest this time? Did you find any promising talents?"

"Thanks to you, I'm lucky this time."

At this point, Maido's previously calm expression changed, and he broke into a smile.

"Adir, come here!"

He turned to look at Adir, who was standing silently behind him, and waved to him, signaling him to come forward.

"This young man is quite impressive. Not only is he a certified wizard, but he also has a great talent for potion making, having already passed the Level 2 Alchemist test!"

Maddo seemed to greatly admire Adir: "More importantly, he's still very young, and with the talent he's shown, he's sure to have a bright future!"

"oh!"

Upon hearing Maido's words, the old man in the large fur robe's expression turned serious. He then glanced at Adir a few more times before smiling and saying, "To be praised so highly by you, Maido, this must be a very fine young man!"

"Hello, I am Engru, a mentor from the Emerald Hand."

After speaking with Medo, he turned to Adir and said seriously.

"Hello, I am Adir."

When faced with the other person's gaze, Adir acted like a junior, a smile on his face.

"very good."

Looking at Adir, Engru nodded to himself: "Although you passed the Level 2 Pharmacist test, you haven't registered yet. According to regulations, you need to take the test again. Is there a problem?"

"No problem." Adir nodded gently.

"Come with me."

Looking at Adir, Engru said, then turned and walked into the hall.

The building is very large, with many rooms in addition to the main hall in front of us.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a spacious laboratory containing the equipment needed to refine potions.

The testing process was not much different from the previous tests. However, during the test, Engru also took out a magical item to record the entire process of Adir's potion-making as evidence and information.

"Such perfect control; you are absolutely a genius in pharmacology."

Having witnessed the entire testing process of Adir, Engru couldn't help but marvel as he placed down a blue gemstone used for recording.

"You flatter me." Adir smiled modestly, without showing any arrogance.

"According to regulations, you are now a Level 2 Pharmacist certified by our Emerald Hand."

Returning to the counter in the lobby, Engru explained to Adir, "Besides some miscellaneous benefits, the most important thing about being a Level 2 Pharmacist is that you can receive ten Black Coins every month."

"Black coins?" Adir asked, somewhat puzzled.

"This is our internal currency, which can be used to exchange for many things at internal prices, just like magic stones."

Englu smiled and said, "As you know, once you reach the level of a formal wizard or above, it's no longer appropriate to measure many things using magic stones, which is why things like black coins exist."

Adir nodded in agreement.

"This is the headquarters of our Emerald Hand. There are many shopping venues around. You can try it out later to see the purchasing power of Black Coin."

Seeing Adir's expression, Engru continued, "Furthermore, as a member of the Emerald Hand, in addition to the rights you enjoy, you must also bear the corresponding obligations."

As he spoke, he handed Adir a black card: "As a new member, you have three choices."

"The first option is to become a mentor at our Emerald Hands, responsible for teaching our students."

Englu said, "The second option is to go to the front lines as a potion-making wizard, responsible for brewing potions for the wizards on the front lines and handling unexpected situations."

"What's the third option?" Adir asked calmly.

"The third option mainly consists of miscellaneous tasks, such as refining a certain number of potions for the organization each month, or being responsible for taking care of a certain material cultivation site. These all fall into this category."

Englu rubbed his temples: "Relatively speaking, this is also the option with the most choices. There are many well-paid positions available, so you can take your time to choose."

"As a newcomer, you have three days to think it over. You don't need to confirm now."

"Then I'll come back in three days."

Hearing this, Adir stood up and smiled at Engru in front of him.

"no problem."

Englu nodded, then suggested, "You have ten black coins on your black card. Take advantage of these three days to explore the surrounding area and buy some things."

"This is your basic benefit for this month. It's normally supposed to be paid after a full month, but I like you, so I'm giving it to you early."

Looking at Adir, he said heartily.

"Thank you very much." Hearing the other person's words, Adir showed a grateful expression and directly accepted the favor.

After chatting for a while, Adir came out of the hall with a black card representing ten black coins in his hand.

As he walked out of the hall, apprentices passed by intermittently, and upon seeing the badge on Adir's chest that represented a second-level apothecary, they couldn't help but show expressions of awe and envy.

After walking a long way, Adir soon arrived at another location.

There is a large counter here, with several apprentices standing in front of it, and rows of white stone slabs laid out in front of it.

On the pristine white stone slab, lines of black writing appeared, constantly shifting and changing, containing a wealth of information.

He walked to a stone slab and gently placed his arm on it.

A cold sensation came from my palm, carrying a faint spiritual fluctuation.

Before Adir's eyes, a light slowly emerged, like a display screen, revealing its contents.

"Hello! Please enter the product you need." A cold voice suddenly appeared in my mind.

This is a spiritual message emanating from the stone slab in front of us. Strictly speaking, it is not a sound, but it gives people a somewhat similar feeling.

The entire stone wall in front of us is actually a huge magic array, with powerful magical effects solidified on it, which has brought the entire stone wall to life and made it into another kind of living entity.

The voice that was coming from the spirit on the stone wall was relaying the information that Adir wanted to know through Adir's physical body.

"Truly amazing technology."

After a brief test and observing everything, Adir sighed before saying, "Check the price of the magic crystals."

In an instant, all the previous information on the stone wall disappeared, leaving only one message.

That's the exchange price for magic crystals, along with a detailed description of their functions.

"There really is one."

Looking at the light screen appearing on the stone wall before him, Adir was somewhat surprised: "Fifty black coins can be exchanged for one unit of magic crystal?"

This purchasing power surprised Adir: "It seems that magic crystals are not a particularly scarce commodity for the wizarding forces in the Maison region."

"Fifty black coins, at this price, I can exchange them for a magic crystal in just five months."

As he mentally calculated the price, Adir nodded, then tried to check the price of the advanced meditation method.

As the operation ended, the light screen in front of us suddenly changed. However, this time, no information was displayed on the screen.

This result disappointed Adir.

He had originally planned to exchange for advanced meditation techniques within the Emerald Hand and replace his original Lunar Sacrifice meditation technique with one he had been practicing.

It now appears that even in the Maison region, things like advanced meditation are heavily monopolized and blocked, and not a single piece of information is easily leaked.

"It seems I have no choice but to rely on the Moon Goddess Festival meditation method."

Thinking of this, Adir sighed.

Unable to find advanced meditation methods, Adir turned to searching for basic, ordinary meditation methods.

In this regard, he gained a lot, finding over a hundred different basic meditation methods, and at very low prices, each requiring only a few magic stones to exchange for.

Standing in front of the stone wall, after roughly testing the purchasing power of the black coins, Adir walked to the counter and, to the astonishment of the female apprentice at the counter, exchanged over a hundred basic meditation techniques in one go.

"Chip, establish tasks, and deduce new advanced meditation methods."

As they walked, Adir gave instructions to the chip in his mind.

"Task 1 established, database established, starting data simulation... Completion time: unknown." The mechanical voice of the chip sounded again in my mind.

Hearing the notification from the chip, Adir couldn't help but sigh.

Chips are not omnipotent. Even with powerful computing capabilities, it is unlikely that a new advanced meditation method can be deduced without sufficient data.

As for advanced meditation techniques, Adir only possessed the Moon Goddess's Sacrifice. He had collected quite a few other basic meditation techniques, but they were only of some reference value and did not provide much real help.

To speed up the chip simulation process, it would be best to obtain some other advanced meditation techniques.

As he walked along the road, Adir headed in the other direction and soon arrived in front of a tall building.

Adil entered the building with the badge representing his status as a Level 2 Pharmacist and stepped into a spacious and magnificent hall.

The surrounding area was filled with tall bookshelves, many of which were sealed up, and a faint blue light curtain protected them.

Although the books on this floor were all free, the knowledge they contained was all for apprentices of the third rank or below. Adir casually glanced at some of them and then went upstairs.

Adir only stopped when he reached the fourth floor, which was only accessible to level two pharmacists, and patiently walked toward a bookshelf.

The surrounding bookshelves were filled with books, which contained not only advanced knowledge about medicine, but also many medicine formulas with detailed descriptions of their functions and inventors.

Adir glanced around casually. The bookshelves on this floor were filled with potion recipes, mostly intermediate-level potions, with very few basic ones. There were hundreds or even thousands of them, leaving Adir stunned and amazed by the Emerald Hand's vast collection.

"Unfortunately, although there are many recipes here, you need Black Coins to exchange for them."

Looking at the prices listed on the recipe labels around him, Adir fell into deep thought: "It seems I need to make a careful choice regarding my position."

With that thought in mind, he put back the few books he had his eye on before walking to the counter in front of him.

"Hello, the complete recipes for two intermediate-level potions will cost a total of six black coins."

A female apprentice in a blue robe stood in front of the counter. Her pure and youthful face was very beautiful. She smiled gently at Adir.

After paying with his black card and taking a few blue crystal balls, Adir left.
