Wizard Immortal

Chapter 199 News of War

A wisp of smoke rose in the spacious laboratory, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

boom! boom! boom!

At the laboratory door, a soft knock sounded quickly, followed by footsteps.

"Come in!"

Adir's voice rang out from all around, and then a crisp sound came from outside the back door.

With a creak, the laboratory door opened quickly, and two apprentices dressed in black robes embroidered with jade patterns walked in, their faces extremely respectful: "Lord Adir, we've come to collect our monthly allowance."

"Hmm? There are still about ten days until the potion delivery, right?"

Hearing the voice, Adir turned around, looking somewhat puzzled.

"I'm so sorry..."

The black-robed apprentice looked troubled: "The situation on the front lines is critical. Lord Aiolia has urged us to gather logistical supplies more than once, so..."

"Not again?"

Upon hearing this, Adir frowned, but stopped what he was doing and went to the cabinet next to him.

He took out a large, emerald-green box from a cabinet and placed it directly on the wooden table beside him.

"Twenty portions of sharpening potion, ten portions of exorcising potion, and ten portions of dragon blood."

Adir looked at the apprentice in front of him: "This month's quota is all here. Remember to come back next month."

"Yes, I apologize for disturbing you, sir."

Upon hearing Adir's words, the two black-robed apprentices quickly explained, then stepped forward and gently opened the green box.

The moment the box was opened, a faint glow emanated from within, revealing dozens of vials of potion displayed inside, looking quite beautiful.

Upon seeing the dozens of potions, the two black-robed apprentices breathed a sigh of relief, overjoyed: "It seems that gathering the required amount shouldn't be a problem."

After testing the medicine and confirming that there were no problems, they handed it over to Adir, bowed to him, and hurriedly left.

Standing in the spacious laboratory, watching the backs of the two apprentices in the distance, Adir couldn't help but shake his head, his heart heavy: "It seems this war is going to be very intense."

At this point, half a year had passed since he joined the Emerald Hand. During this time, Adir not only integrated into the Emerald Hand but also accepted a task to refine potions.

Compared to other quests, this one is perfect for Adir. He only needs to brew a fixed number of potions and deliver them periodically to complete the quest. It doesn't take much time, and the rewards are quite generous, making it ideal for a wizard like Adir with a high potion-brewing success rate.

At the Emerald Hand headquarters, Adir spent his time either brewing potions to earn Black Coins, exchanging them for advanced knowledge, or exchanging ideas with other wizards. In the nearly six months he had built up a considerable reputation, and even some wizards from other organizations had heard of him.

This kind of life was originally very stable, but judging from the recent situation, it seems that it will soon come to an end.

After tidying up his belongings, Adir walked outside.

Just as I stepped out of the laboratory, a roar suddenly came from afar.

"The last batch of medicine was just delivered a few days ago! How dare you bother me again!!"

A frenzied roar came from the nearby laboratory, the sound carrying a hint of madness and fluctuations in the force field.

In a laboratory not far from Adir, the two black-robed apprentices who had come to see Adir earlier were thrown out and flew five or six meters before crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

From Adir's perspective, he could even see a strange man in a black robe standing to one side with a ferocious expression, slamming the door shut.

Adir shook his head slightly, feeling a pang of sympathy for the two apprentices who had been flung away.

Not every wizard is as easy to talk to as Adir. Because of spending a lot of time in the laboratory conducting various experiments, many formal wizards have some degree of psychological distortion and extremism, which can easily erupt.

Ignoring the matter, Adir glanced at the area and then headed down a road.

After he left, the laboratory door behind him closed automatically and remained firmly shut.

After leaving the previous laboratory, Adir quickly arrived at another area.

This is a small villa located on a plain.

Unlike the previous laboratory, this villa, although also located in the Emerald Hand's headquarters, is Adir's private property. He bought it several months ago to use as a place for some private experiments.

When we arrived at the villa's gate, someone was already waiting there.

It was a middle-aged wizard in a red robe with a mustache. Upon seeing Adir, he walked over with a warm expression: "Adir, you're finally back."

"Teresa, it's been a long time!"

Looking at the man, Adir smiled and asked, "Did you come to bring me good news?"

"Of course, this is definitely good news for you."

Teres smiled.

"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it."

Seeing that the other party said this, Adir was clearly a little curious.

The person in front of me is also a member of the Emerald Hand, but unlike Adir, who is a new member, this wizard has been a member of the Emerald Hand for a long time and seems to have some connections behind him, enabling him to obtain many rare things, such as many rare slaves.

"Come on, my friend, I'm sure I'll satisfy you this time."

Tris clapped his hands, then led Adir to the side.

After walking for a long time, he stopped at a platform and pointed around: "Adir, look at the goods around here! These were all just brought down from the battlefield."

Adir then looked around.

On the surrounding open platform, there were huge black cages made of special alchemical materials and reinforced with special small-scale witchcraft arrays to suppress the evil spirits.

Inside these black cages, creatures of various shapes and sizes sat quietly. Some were humans, some were beastmen, and some were sea creatures. It looked like a hodgepodge.

Inside one of the cages, Adir detected a certain aura, causing his expression to change drastically: "A formal wizard!! You actually managed to get your hands on a formal wizard?"

"Of course, it couldn't be a living, officially recognized wizard."

Faced with Adir's surprise, Teris shook his head: "I can't get my hands on a living, officially recognized wizard. There are just two corpses here, and they're even mutilated."

Hearing this, Adir's expression returned to normal, and he followed the other person to the front.

When they reached the enormous black cage in front of them, Adir was able to see what was inside.

There were two very gruesome corpses. One was human, but its head was missing, and many parts and organs on its body were missing, making it look like a bloody mess.

The other body belonged to a female lizardman wearing leather armor, her body also covered in blood, suggesting she died from some powerful magic.

"Both of these bodies were captured on the front lines. I happened to be in that area at the time and knew you needed these things, so I secretly bought them at a high price."

Speaking of this, Teresa smiled smugly: "How about this thing?"

"Name your price," Adir said, looking at the two corpses.

"One hundred black coins." Looking at Adir, Tris offered a price.

"Are you kidding me?" Adir asked calmly, looking at Teres.

"Of course not."

Triss shrugged: "My prices are always fair. Since I've quoted this price, I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

As he spoke, he walked to the cage next to him, ripped off the black cloth covering the cage, and revealed what was inside.

A faint chill was rising, and an ice coffin was revealed, exposed to Adir's eyes.

Inside the frigid ice coffin, the naked corpse of a female elf lay quietly, a dagger piercing her heart.

"This is···"

Adir's expression turned serious upon seeing the female elf's corpse.

"The corpse of an elven royal, containing a faint bloodline of the ancient moon elves, is a very rare and precious material."

Teres snapped his fingers: "How was it?"

"I am very satisfied."

Looking at the other person, Adir smiled.

···············

"Has the fighting on the front lines become this intense?"

After the transaction was completed, while the servants were transporting the corpses, Adir asked.

"Yes," Teres sighed. "For the past six months, I've been traveling on the front lines, and the horrific remnants of that battlefield are terrifying to me."

"The lizardmen have rioted, the Swamp Duchy has declared war on us, and they've joined forces with the dark wizards of the Odo Province to attack. The orcs to the north are also revolting and are currently engaged in fierce fighting with the Blackthorn Academy to the north."

"The elves in the Silvermist Forest to the south are the same; it seems they've also started to show themselves recently, constantly gathering information around them, and they seem to be still hesitating."

Speaking of this, Teres also looked helpless.

Unlike other regions, while the wizards in the Maison region are more powerful, the conflicts are also more intense. Conflicts often break out between different races and even different wizarding organizations, and war is commonplace.

Anyway, you should prepare yourself in advance.

Teris reminded Adir, "The situation around us has become increasingly chaotic lately. Although the Emerald Hand is relatively safe, it seems that they have been making some moves recently."

"The organization is going to join the war too?" Adir frowned.

"I don't know yet." Teres said with a wry smile, "How could a formal wizard like me possibly know about things at the higher levels? At most, I just have some information from the past, so I get the news a little faster than you."

"That's true." Adir nodded slightly at this statement and said no more.
