Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 16 Planning | Trading Market

Vic stayed at the alchemy workshop for half a year.

In the past six months.

He only met Brody three times.

Each time, the other party would spend an hour teaching him some simple knowledge, and then ignore him.

Because Brody only agreed to take Vic in, but didn't promise any benefits.

There is no annual allowance.

They are not entitled to ask questions.

There was no opportunity to use the laboratory, or even to observe.

Even a psychologist can guess what the other person is thinking.

Gambler's mentality.

If he has good talent and comprehension and can grasp things quickly, Brody will certainly not be stingy. But if he is a blockhead, Brody will not lose anything by giving a young knight a meal.

Perhaps it can even earn the loyalty of a knight.

During his interactions with Brody, Vic didn't try to stand out too much because he didn't want to get too involved with unimportant people.

If he accepts too many favors from Brody now, in return, he will be unable to refuse some of Brody's reasonable requests when he becomes a first-level wizard in the future.

Under the constraint of the equivalence principle.

Even if the recipient of the favor denies it, the price to be paid for those favors will manifest itself in other forms.

Astrologers skilled in divination have defined this phenomenon as the "intertwining of destinies."

Astrologers are one of the six professions of wizards, belonging to the mysterious professions of the astrological field.

cloudy day.

After mastering the final knowledge of the Alchemy Workshop.

Vic's mental strength has increased significantly compared to six months ago, but the development of his knowledge system of fire magic has stalled.

Time is fair.

No one can go beyond time and do two things at the same time.

Vic knew that his promotion to senior apprentice required a step-by-step approach. The higher his mental strength, the greater his chances of promotion. He couldn't be reckless.

During this time, in addition to learning the knowledge in the alchemy workshop, he also extracted a method for making alchemical rings from the lich's casket—the configuration method.

The gold rings made using this method appear almost identical on the surface to those made using the ordinary method.

However, compared to the forging and casting methods at the apprentice level, the success rate is higher and the quality of the produced rings is also better.

Vic is not going to make the alchemy ring at the college.

This could easily arouse suspicion from others.

after all.

It's astonishing that an apprentice who has only been enrolled for six months can make a gold-plated ring.

Normally, a wizard with excellent understanding of the realm of change needs to spend about three years studying alchemy extensively before he is qualified to create alchemical items.

Vic plans to secretly craft an alchemical ring outside the academy, then use it to demonstrate his power and find a wizarding family lacking alchemists, where he will lie low for one to two years.

He had already come up with a reason for going out.

Life at the academy was too boring, and he wanted to go out and gain some experience.

This kind of situation is commonplace at Black Tower Academy.

When wizards encounter incomprehensible bottlenecks or limited thinking while learning knowledge, they choose to go out to seek inspiration.

No one will doubt it.

Before going out.

Vic placed an order with Brody's alchemy workshop to melt all the Mystic Silver ore into Mystic Silver Ingots for easy carrying.

Brody knew the origin of these minerals and didn't ask any further questions.

Vic works in the workshop, so his asking price is very low: fifty grams of Mystic Silver.

Because the smelting process requires a lot of energy and extractants, the market price of fifty grams of Secret Fire Silver fluctuates around twenty soul stones, which is not much.

Brody wanted to buy the silver mine that Vic had brought back, but Vic refused.

The reasons are very valid.

He needed to keep these secret fire silvers, so that whether he needed money to sell them later or used them to practice making alchemical tools, he would have a way to trace them.

Moreover, he felt it was unsafe to carry more than a hundred soul stones on his person at once.

Therefore, Brody did not mention the acquisition again.

Besides, all these Secret Fire Silvers only amount to a little over a hundred Soul Stones, which is not worth his attention.

Only after the tempering process is completed.

Brody warned Vic that it was best not to let others know that he had more than 300 grams of Secret Fire Silver, lest it bring about his death.

Vic naturally understood this principle.

He was willing to pay a price to smelt the ore, just for the sake of portability.

The total value of over a hundred soul stones is enough to tempt some unscrupulous wizard apprentices to steal them.

the next day.

The Black Tower Academy was unusually sunny in the early morning.

Wearing the tattered knight's gear he had picked up, and with his backpack full of supplies for the road ahead, Vic left the academy.

Aaron hosted a small party two months ago.

Vic didn't go.

Afterwards, Aaron invited Vic to dinner at a rather upscale restaurant to celebrate his promotion to wizard apprentice.

Although Aaron didn't mention the party, it was clear that something unpleasant had happened there.

On the contrary, when the two of them were together, Aaron seemed very relaxed, chatting and laughing.

He even talked to Vic about a girl he recently liked, but unfortunately, she didn't seem to like him.

Vic calculates the time.

The latest novel is first published here!

This is his second year at the academy.

It is both reasonable and emotional that we should go out and gain experience, broaden our horizons, and expand our thinking.

No money to buy a horse.

After leaving the college, Vic could only walk.

However, after being promoted to wizard apprentice, his physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people, and he did not feel tired when traveling.

According to the markings on the map.

Two hundred kilometers east of Black Tower Academy lies a small but well-equipped trading market run by a wizarding family.

Vic planned to conceal his identity, purchase some materials there, and then attempt to make a gold ring.

The details of controlling muscles to change facial shape.

For wizarding apprentices, these were just simple tricks, nothing profound.

half a month later.

Jinghu Trading Market.

An ugly-looking young man, looking travel-worn, stopped at the entrance of the trading market.

The market is located on an island in the middle of Mirror Lake, in a beautiful natural environment.

The lake water was clear and slightly blue.

When the light is bright, you can clearly see the white pebbles at the bottom.

The dark green vegetation on both sides of the lake is lush and abundant.

Because there is only one pontoon bridge leading to the island in the middle of the lake, people coming and going for trade need to be checked when entering and leaving.

Two knights in dazzling silver armor stood guard at the entrance.

If you're a stranger, you'll inevitably be stopped and asked all sorts of questions.

With a wizarding family backing them up, the two knights were extremely arrogant, looking down on wizarding apprentices of average strength.

Those who come to the Mirror Lake Trading Market are either knights with some talent who want to pursue the path of a wizard.

They are either weak, unaffiliated apprentices with no background or connections.

In their eyes.

Only wizards from the Black Tower Wizarding Academy are beings they cannot afford to offend.

Moreover, those apprentices with powerful backgrounds wouldn't necessarily come to a small place like theirs.

When Vic tried to cross the intersection.

Two knights rudely stopped him.

One of them, expressionless, recited from the script, "According to the rules of the Jinghu Trading Market, first-time entrants to the market must provide their name and background."

Otherwise, entry is prohibited.

Experiencing life outside is different from being in academy.

There are many people and eyes in the college, making it difficult to carry out many things; it's necessary to keep a low profile.

But they went out to gain experience.

Strength is the only guarantee of security.

Vic's disguised ugly face made him look middle-aged. He grinned and let out a cold, raven-like laugh, then grabbed the knight's arm.

The magical fire was like a venomous snake, instantly burning away the knight's coarse cloth tunic.

Vic didn't make things too difficult for the other party, after all, he came here to earn soul stones, not to cause trouble.

"Any more questions?"

The two knights were terrified when they saw Vic's methods!

Although Vic considered these to be mere apprentice-level tricks, from the perspective of the two knights...

Such terrifying control.
