Wizard Immortal

Chapter 76 Trading

"Alright, let's leave it at that."

Looking at Adir, Gramor, dressed in black robes, nodded slightly: "Did you bring the materials for this trade?"

Adir nodded, opened a package he had brought earlier, and placed it on the table.

As the package was opened, some of the materials inside were revealed. Some of them were the shells of insect beasts, and some were other parts. However, without exception, they all came from that post-apocalyptic world.

Gramo's eyes lit up as he looked at the materials before him.

He reached out and casually picked up a small piece of carapace from the pile of materials in front of him, then placed it on the test table beside him, seemingly to test something.

"That's right. Although it's not the same kind of creature, it has many of the properties of the previous material, so it should have come from the same place."

Gramo's expression turned serious, then he turned to Adir: "I'm very satisfied with this batch of materials. How about fifty magic stones, as previously agreed?"

Adir was taken aback when he heard the price.

This price has clearly exceeded his previous expectations.

Based on what he had learned before, the entire academy did not place much importance on such unknown materials, and their prices were generally not high unless they were confirmed to have some special function.

Fifty magic stones—that's a really high price for his batch of materials.

"Fifty magic stones. Consider the extra ones as my personal compensation to you."

Seeing Adir's expression, and seemingly understanding what he was thinking, Gramo explained, "It's clear that you seem to be lacking in magic stones."

Upon hearing this, Adir's lips twitched, but he ultimately refuted it.

Compared to his opponent, he was indeed short of magic stones at the moment, so since he could take more, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.

"Also... although I've returned to normal now, my previous suggestion still stands."

At this moment, Gramo suddenly spoke up: "If you lack magic stones, I can provide all the resources you need before you become a formal wizard. The only price is that I will assist you in conducting some small experiments."

"If you are not comfortable with this, we can sign an agreement under the supervision of the college to protect your rights."

After saying this, he turned and looked at Adir quietly, as if waiting for his decision.

Sensing his gaze, Adir lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

However, in the end, he shook his head and declined the suggestion: "Sorry, I don't have that idea at the moment..."

The other party's offer sounded very tempting. However, after what had happened before, Adir had already added the other party to his list of dangers.

In Adir's eyes, the academy's supervisor was also unreliable. The other party was a formal wizard, and even if the agreement was violated and Adir was accidentally killed, the supervisor would probably only receive some symbolic punishment and pay a price. The academy would never force a formal wizard for the sake of a first-class apprentice; the end result would only be that nothing came of it.

Standing before him, listening to Adir's words, Gramo's eyes revealed a hint of regret: "Alright... However, my promise still stands. If you change your mind later, you can come find me anytime."

"I understand," Adir nodded gently.

"This is the magic stone for this transaction."

Gramo's face returned to calm as he placed a small bag on the table.

Quietly picking up the small bag from the wooden table, Adir respectfully bid farewell to Gramo in front of him, seemingly having forgotten what had happened before and showing no sign of holding a grudge.

Holding the bag in his hand, the unique sensation it gave Adir a sense of security. Then he turned and walked towards the laboratory door, seemingly preparing to leave.

Behind him, watching Adir's departing figure, Gramo's expression gradually became uncertain, completely losing its previous calm demeanor.

His gaze was fixed on Adir's retreating figure. As he walked away, his right hand slowly rose, and a faint shadow gradually enveloped it.

bump!!

With a soft click, the laboratory door was gently closed.

Once outside, Adir finally breathed a sigh of relief, lowering his arm, which had almost touched the sword, and appearing much more relaxed.

Unbeknownst to him, his back was already soaked with sweat. Now, facing the breeze from outside, a chill ran through his body, making him feel cold inside.

"That suffocating, terrifying feeling... it definitely means they want to hurt me."

Recalling the scene that had just occurred, Adir felt a chill run down his spine.

The moment he turned to leave, he keenly sensed a strong malice behind him, locking onto him tightly.

Thinking of this, he retrieved the previous chip's notification records.

"The high-energy radiation response around the main body has increased..."

Upon seeing this record, Adir broke out in a cold sweat.

Clearly, the other party was unwilling to let Adir leave like this, so after failing to bribe him, they immediately prepared to use force, and almost even used magic.

Fortunately, being inside the academy, the other party must have had some reservations, and in the end, they did not choose to attack Adir.

"Besides the academy's regulations, there must also be a reason related to Instructor Edith."

Recalling what had just happened, Adir thought to himself.

Even among wizarding apprentices, there's a difference in treatment between ordinary apprentices and those with mentors. For an ordinary apprentice to attack someone who is a formal wizard, at most, it might cause some trouble. But attacking Adir is a different story; it could very well be seen as a provocation against another formal wizard, with far more serious consequences than attacking an ordinary apprentice.

"I can't come here again. If I need to contact these formal wizards in the future, I must investigate their information beforehand, otherwise it's too dangerous."

Recalling the scene just now, Adir turned around, looked behind him, and quickly left.

He walked quickly for a while, then returned directly to the lodging area and opened the cloth bag he had received from Gramo.

When the bag was opened, it contained five magic stones. Compared to ordinary magic stones, these five magic stones were much darker in color and had a much stronger energy aura.

This is a medium-grade magic stone. Compared to ordinary magic stones, it contains more high-energy particles and has a much better effect.

According to standard units, one medium-grade magic stone is roughly equivalent to ten low-grade magic stones, which is quite expensive.

Sorry, I'm a little late.
