Wizard Immortal

Chapter 99 The Employer (Bonus Chapter for 200 Monthly Tickets)

Seeing Adir's figure, the blonde female apprentice smiled and went to greet him: "Hello, the three spell templates you submitted to our auction house this time sold for a total of 980 magic stones. After deducting the 10% handling fee, the total is 882 magic stones. Is there a problem?"

"No problem." Adir glanced at the other person and nodded.

After Adir nodded, the female apprentice took out a small bag from the side, put the magic stone into it in front of Adir, and then handed it to Adir.

"If you have anything else to auction next time, we hope you will give priority to having it auctioned through our auction house."

After handing the magic stone to Adir, the female apprentice stood still, a smile on her face, and said to Adir.

"I will."

Adir nodded, and then left without hesitation.

"A mere eight or nine hundred magic stones shouldn't be much to these auction houses, but bringing out three improved spell templates at once is quite eye-catching."

As he walked, Adir glanced back at what was behind him and thought to himself.

In the wizarding world, generally speaking, basic spells are not that valuable; they can usually be learned by paying a few magic stones.

However, advanced knowledge such as basic spells or even first-level spells is not so easy to obtain.

Even within the academy, the purchase of such spells is strictly limited. Not only are you allowed to buy them only if you reach a certain level, but you must also sign a contract with the academy before you can buy them. It is impossible to trade them outside.

The three spell templates that Adir is selling this time are all improved by him using chips. Although they were originally just basic spell templates, they have reached the level of basic spells after the improvement.

To purchase magic of this caliber within the academy, one must reach the level of a third-class apprentice and sign a contract with the academy guaranteeing not to trade with others. Naturally, it is impossible to sell it outside the academy.

Adir sold three basic spell templates in one go, which will inevitably attract the attention of some people.

"Just in case, I bought the formula for the necromancy potion and left immediately."

Having made up his mind, he quickened his pace and hurried to a pharmacy in a corner of the market.

As they stepped inside, a familiar stench of decay wafted through the air, carrying a strong aura of negative energy particles, causing Adir to frown.

In the pharmacy, he saw the woman who looked like a corpse again.

Compared to last time, the negative energy emanating from the other party was even more intense. Although their entire body was shrouded in a black robe, the heavy aura of death could not be concealed, and their originally pale complexion began to change. Their face began to rot, making them resemble a real corpse.

This is clearly a sign of the body being transformed into an undead being, and an imperfect transformation at that. It likely referenced some of the contents of necromantic potions, ultimately turning the body into this terrifying form.

If it is a complete necromancy conversion, although the body will become like a corpse, it should appear no different from an ordinary person except for the lack of life and vitality.

Seeing her like this, Adir didn't bother to talk much and, to her surprise, took out eight high-grade magic stones.

The process proceeded smoothly without much difficulty.

Upon seeing the magic stone, the other party readily took out the recipe and handed it directly to Adir.

Standing there, Adir casually checked the formula and, after confirming its authenticity, quickly left the pharmacy.

After leaving the market, he quickly returned to the city, took his horse, and drove off into the distance.

Seven days later, on a small path, Adir sat in a patch of grass, silently sensing his surroundings with his spiritual power.

"A week has passed, and I haven't encountered any apprentices catching up yet. It seems that the auction house hasn't leaked my information."

Sitting on a blanket, gazing at the distant scene, Adir pondered quietly.

At this point, after a week of travel, he had already traversed a significant portion of the Principality of Allen. In another month at most, he would reach his destination for this mission.

"From the southern part of the Duchy of Allen to the Kingdom of Gumodo, there is a short stretch of uninhabited area along the way, where many orcs seem to live."

Looking into the distance, Adir muttered to himself.

He was no stranger to orcs.

When Adir first arrived in this world, he had just been seriously injured and forced to retreat from the orc battlefield. Later, he broke through to the level of a knight in a battle with the orcs, so he had a deep impression of the orcs.

Of course, what Adir didn't know was that his father in this life had also died at the hands of orcs.

Thinking of this, Adir couldn't help but recall one of his missions.

"Investigate the mutated bloodthirsty orcs of the Kingdom of Gumodo," he muttered to himself.

The so-called bloodthirsty orcs refer to mutated individuals among orcs who possess the ability to enter a bloodthirsty state under specific circumstances.

Ordinary bloodthirsty orcs are already comparable to knights, but if the power of a mutated bloodthirsty orc surpasses that of an ordinary one, then it is even more terrifying.

After a while, once the two groups of horses had rested enough, Adir continued his journey.

A month later, Adir began to enter the border of the Kingdom of Gumodo and arrived at one of its cities.

After paying the city entry tax, he went directly into the city.

The scene that came into view was somewhat different from the cities I had visited before.

Unlike other places, the residents here seem more open-minded, and the clothing of the pedestrians is also strange, somewhat similar to the ethnic minorities in Adir's previous life.

Compared to other places Adir had visited, the residents here were noticeably taller and had different appearances, mostly appearing somewhat rugged.

However, the language here is similar to that of the Principality of Allen, belonging to a variant of the ancient Cuban language, which Adir could barely understand.

After strolling casually through the city for a while, Adir's strikingly handsome appearance, so different from everyone else's, attracted the attention of many people around him. Tall girls walking by would occasionally stare at Adir, laughing heartily with their companions—a stark contrast to the girls in other places.

"Sir, you look like this is your first time here. Would you like someone to show you around?"

As they walked along the road, a little girl suddenly jumped out in front of them, looking at Adir with some excitement, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Looking at the little girl with some surprise, Adir smiled and asked, "Could you take me to the best hotel in town?"

"Okay." The little girl nodded as she listened to Adir's words, then quickly stepped forward to lead the way.

After walking for a while, Adir arrived at a spacious hotel.

After swindling the little girl with a silver coin, Adir ordered a lavish lunch at the inn and then sat quietly to eat in the restaurant below.

While dining, he also listened to the conversations of the other guests, quietly learning about the country.

"Hello, I'd like to know where I can get the latest news?"

After finishing his meal, Adir walked to the front counter and asked the middle-aged man wearing a dark green top hat.

"If you just want to know some general information, then you can just ask me."

Looking at Adir, the middle-aged man in front of him smiled and spoke kindly to him.

"Okay." Adir nodded with a smile, then asked, "Has anything important happened recently?"

"Oh, there are quite a lot of these."

Looking at Adir, the middle-aged man said, "Two months ago, the orcs around here seemed to have rioted again. The kingdom is conscripting soldiers, and it's very likely that there will be another war."

"Then to the north, several more villages were massacred recently, but this is not unusual; it happens several times every now and then in previous years."

·······

It was noon, and the surrounding guests were having lunch. Adir chatted with the middle-aged man for a while, learning about some recent events in the Kingdom of Gumodo, before leaving to make way for the arrival of other guests.

Soon after, guided by a passerby, he arrived at a shop.

This is a somewhat old-fashioned weapons shop. Above the shop is a sign with a picture of a long sword.

He strode inside and saw a figure sitting on the floor, holding a giant sword and polishing it.

He was probably around forty or fifty years old, with some gray hair and a burly, robust build. His broad face was serious as he intently looked at the greatsword in his hand.

Upon noticing footsteps outside, he instinctively turned to look at the door.

Upon seeing Adir, he was initially taken aback, but quickly recovered and greeted him warmly, "Welcome to my weapon shop! I'm Karu, the best blacksmith in the area. What kind of weapons do you need?"

"I don't need weapons." After glancing at the weapons displayed on the racks around him, Adir shook his head and said.

"Haha, then you must be here to discuss other business with me!"

Upon hearing Adir's words, Karu was not angry; instead, he laughed heartily.

He stood up, his two-meter-tall frame imposing and imposing: "Speak, what does this guest require?"

"I need some guards and guides; someone recommended you."

Standing still, Adir nodded: "I've heard you know a lot of mercenaries. Could you introduce me to some?"

"Hmm, a mercenary, huh? Well, you've come to the right place!" A familiar, loud voice rang in my ears.

Are there any specific requirements?

Looking at the handsome and gentle Adir, who resembled a noble young man, Karu couldn't help but say loudly, "In this city, I know at least several hundred warriors who are willing to be mercenaries. I imagine someone of your status wouldn't just randomly choose a group of people as his guards."

He clearly regarded Adir as a foreign nobleman, which was not wrong to some extent.

Adir was indeed a nobleman from another region. Although his territory was gone, his noble credentials and clan emblem remained, which was enough to prove his noble status.
