Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

Upon hearing this...

Wayne chuckled softly.

"I just thought He was pretty weird, so I wanted to see just how weird He really was."

He shrugged as he spoke.

"It now seems that even the most evil methods cannot compare to the will of the Holy Domain."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but chuckle, for that was the will of the Holy Domain.

.........

Three days later.

In a small town thousands of miles east of West City, Wayne and his party arrived.

In the small town.

Athena looked at Wayne holding the Compass of Desire and couldn't help but ask him a question out of curiosity.

"Wayne, what are you looking for?"

"I can't believe I came to such a remote town."

He then answered.

"Find a dark wizard."

"A dark wizard?"

"Why are you looking for a dark wizard?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Shi couldn't help but shudder.

"Dark wizards are not to be trifled with. Although the human race is stable, magical beasts are not included. I don't want to be used as research material."

The words fell.

Wayne chuckled softly.

"You're a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong."

"Where did your arguing spirit go?"

Lei Shi stubbornly insisted.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I don't want to lower myself to his level."

Faced with Lei Shi's stubbornness, Wayne didn't call him out on it, but instead said, "Don't worry, with me here, you think I can really send you out?"

"That's enough chatting, we've arrived."

Done.

Wayne stopped and looked at the Adventurers' Guild headquarters in front of him, then stepped inside.

After going inside.

The area was not large, with a few extraordinary individuals scattered around, but mostly ordinary people.

I went straight to the counter.

A middle-aged man was sitting there. When Wayne arrived, the man asked him a question.

"We've never met you before. You've come from afar; what brings you here?"

Wayne didn't waste any words and went straight to asking the question he wanted to ask.

"Is there a dark wizard living around here?"

These words were spoken.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up.

"Did he do something wrong? Why are you here to arrest him?"

He looked at Wayne expectantly as he spoke.

But when Wayne shook his head, the middle-aged man's eyes revealed a clear disappointment.

Seeing this, Wayne sat down.

"The Black Wizard is now a member of the Tower of Truth; surely he wouldn't be so utterly depraved?"

Why does the boss look so worried?

The middle-aged man sighed softly. "Sir, you may not know this, but after I graduated from college, I always wanted to return to my hometown and make some contributions to it."

"Originally, after serving the lord for many years, I would have paid off the lord's tuition fees and returned to my hometown."

"The original plan was to build a small town and construct roads, hoping to attract some caravans and make the hometown prosperous. Unfortunately, the only main road leading to the big city, twenty miles outside the town, was blocked by a black wizard."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne chuckled slightly. "It doesn't have to be that bad, does it?"

"You can just go around it."

"They've been there for a while now. Is it really okay for you to be hoping they get arrested?"

The words fell.

The middle-aged man rubbed his forehead.

"But he's disgusting. The area is surrounded by the corpses of the monsters he killed with black magic."

"Although everyone knows that the Holy Land is now in a stable state, it's like a monster. Even if ordinary people know that there are superhumans in their group and they won't be harmed, they will definitely not go through this place if there is a way to detour."

"That's why I'm hoping he gets arrested."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne didn't comment, but instead steered the conversation back on track.

Tell me your location.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and while telling him the answer, he didn't forget to ask a question.

"Are you going to kick him out?"

Wayne rolled his eyes.

"Obviously, they arrived before you, and they haven't killed any humans, so why should I chase them away?"

"Alright, let's go."

He then placed three low-grade magic crystals on the table as payment for the information.

.........

After stepping outside.

Athena looked at Wayne with some curiosity.

"I thought you were going to make a move."

Wayne smiled faintly.

"What's going on?"

"The Black Wizard is now a member of the Tower of Truth. I wouldn't have come here if I didn't need to see him."

"Besides, it's not my place to drive him away. If he had really done something wrong, the Tower of Truth would have arrested him long ago."

The words fell.

Athena couldn't help but smile.

"You really have impressed me. You're level-headed and not impulsive."

.........

After half an hour.

The group arrived at a valley, and before they even entered, they could see the long stretch of skeletons within.

Lei Shi spat.

"Pah, the black witch is as cruel as ever, leaving some spoils here without even trying to hide them from people."

Wayne glanced at Lei Shi but didn't say anything, because he was also a little uncomfortable. It was bad luck that there were at least tens of thousands of corpses among them, and they were piled up near his own home. Didn't he find it disgusting?

Tap the void lightly.

The flight array unfolded, and Wayne levitated himself and the others, flying towards the valley.

Enter it.

The valley is gourd-shaped, and a wizard's fortress stands on the inner bend of the hillside.

After a while.

Wayne and the others arrived in front of the fortress, but Wayne didn't even land, because it was really bad luck.

Below were corpses still stained with blood, while the white bones outside seemed less ominous.

Indeed, everything is afraid of comparison.

Before Wayne could speak, a cold voice rang out.

"Gentlemen, if you're just passing by, please leave. What are you doing at my Castle of Arun?"

Upon hearing this...

Wayne chuckled. "I'm here to make a deal with you. The item in exchange is a top-grade magic crystal."

"how?"

Upon hearing this, a black light flashed across the entire fortress, followed by the sound of it activating.

Soon, a door at the top of the fortress opened, and a man dressed in a wizard's robe walked out.

"Top-grade magic crystal?"

Are you serious?

"What do you want to exchange?"

As he spoke, the man floated over, clearly very excited, even impatient.

After a while.

The man landed in front of Wayne and the others, completely ignoring the bloodstains on the bones, and sat down on them.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Faced with the man's eager gaze, Wayne didn't rush to answer, but instead asked a question.

Is lifespan tangible?

The man was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Wayne to ask this, but after thinking for a moment, he answered.

"Blood, life, and so on are all manifestations of lifespan. Is this answer satisfactory?"

Wayne shook his head.

"What I'm asking is whether lifespan, the lifespan that exists in the unseen realm, can manifest in form."

"rather than its derivatives."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and a top-grade magic crystal appeared in her hand, which she tossed towards the man.

It's as if it's saying, "I have top-grade magic crystals; you'd better give me a proper answer."

The man wasn't angry, after all, this was a top-grade magic crystal, so let him make things difficult.

He had the wisdom and strength to acquire it. Then he fell into deep thought, his mind rapidly shifting between different ideas.
