Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 17 Mysterious Identity

The two knights quickly retreated.

Bow down.

His body trembled slightly, and he remained silent as a cicada in winter.

Vic chuckled, "Heh heh, you don't need to be afraid, I'm not here to cause trouble."

Done.

Vic took one of his two remaining soul stones and casually tossed it to a knight he found agreeable.

"I need a mentor during this time."

Generous with money.

A combination of kindness and severity.

Such a seasoned approach to things made the two knights even more convinced that this ugly-looking senior apprentice must be someone of great importance.

The knight who received the soul stone quickly gave his colleague a look, signaling him to report to the manager. Then he bowed his head and said respectfully, "It is my honor to serve you, sir."

You can call me Mather.

A servant knight of the Bell family.

Vic showed no interest in the knight's identity and said coldly, "Lead the way."

Gain experience abroad.

Only those with great strength and a powerful background can command respect.

Being obsequious and stingy will only invite contempt and make one vulnerable to bullying and robbery by villains.

They were led by Mather, a knight from the family.

Vic entered the trading market without any hindrance.

Upon hearing that a seasoned apprentice with a strong background had arrived, the market's managers immediately contacted Vic.

But he didn't rush up to start a conversation.

Instead, he stood a short distance away, observed the situation for a while, and then made a move.

Upon meeting, he introduced himself, "I am Anthony Bell, a senior apprentice of the Bell family and the manager of the trading market."

May I address you in any way?

This is the benefit of demonstrating strength and resources.

Upon arrival, he was treated as an honored guest in the trading market, and the other party dared not neglect him.

Vic hunched over slightly, gave a strange laugh, and said, "I've heard of the Bell family. You treat your guests quite well."

I will stay here for a while.

Just call me Archie.

Anthony Bell is a middle-aged man in his sixties, with a robust physique and a resolute face.

He was dressed in a scarlet wizard's robe, flamboyant and eye-catching.

The robe bore the coat of arms of the Bell Wizarding Family.

Throughout Vic's speech, Anthony remained secretly observing.

He had heard about the profound understanding of fire magic from the family knight, and now that he was meeting the real person, he was also very apprehensive.

The intensity of the mental magnetic field exhibited by the other party was no different from that of a newly promoted wizard apprentice.

However, in the wizarding world, it is normal to conceal one's strength when going out.

He dared not gamble on whether the other party's strength was genuine or not.

If the other party is truly powerful and has a strong background, it would be unwise to needlessly make enemies for your family.

and.

This person's every word and action was extremely shrewd.

He didn't seem like a newly recruited apprentice; he looked more like a seasoned veteran who had been navigating the wizarding world for many years.

After the decision was made.

Anthony nodded slightly to Vic in a gesture of goodwill, and said to the family knight Mather, "You will be in charge of receiving Lord Archie during this time. Do not neglect him."

Knight Mather was about the same age as Vic. He originally thought that after Anthony took over, he would at most hand over that soul stone, and then there would be nothing more for him to do.

Now he's in charge of receiving Archie, this weirdo who's someone you'd be scared to even look at.

The young knight was immediately filled with bitterness.

All I could do was bow my head and agree.

Having received the mission, Mather dared not be negligent in the slightest, lest he anger the other party and die an unexplained death.

Because the Jinghu Trading Market is located on an island in the middle of the lake, and the area is limited, every inch of land here is extremely valuable.

The residence Mather booked for Vic was a lakeside detached house, with an extremely high rent of three soulstones per month.

The detached house is fully equipped and secluded, making it suitable for wizards to study and conduct experiments.

After moving into the detached house.

Vic wrote down a list of materials and gave it to Mather, instructing him to purchase them according to the quota.

Holding the list of materials, Mather was somewhat perplexed.

Although he was not a wizard, he often worked in the trading market and had some knowledge of the prices of some common materials there.

The items on this list are worth at least twenty soul stones.

Ordinary wizarding apprentices simply cannot afford it.

Even a seasoned apprentice like Lord Anthony rarely produces so many soul stones at once.

Vic could see Mather's predicament at a glance.

But he remained unmoved, letting out a cold snort. His ugly face was extremely gloomy, and his cruel gaze seemed to want to devour people. He said in an unpleasant tone, "Before leaving the trading market, I will personally find Anthony to pay the bill."

Your attitude.

The latest novel is first published here!

I've made a note of it.

Upon hearing Vic's voice, Mather felt his legs go weak and cold sweat pour down his back. He hurriedly explained, "Lord Archie! That's not what I meant!"

The list of materials you gave me is for a huge amount; I don't have that much authority.

Before he could finish speaking...

Vic waved impatiently to interrupt, saying, "If I don't see the materials in an hour, I'll leave. Get lost."

Mather dared not linger. He lowered his head and scrambled out of the lakeside villa.

He was a lowly family knight, caught between the trading market and a seasoned apprentice whose strength was unfathomable.

The immense pressure left Mather feeling breathless.

If he really offends the other party, even if it is the decision of Market Administrator Anthony, he will not be able to escape responsibility afterward and will inevitably be severely punished by the family.

After taking the materials list to Anthony,

Mather explained the situation at an extremely fast pace.

Anthony frowned.

He never expected that the other party would make such an outrageous demand, asking for materials worth twenty soul stones right away.

It's not that I'm worried about the cost of the materials.

If he were to encounter a swindler, he would lose face in his family and might even lose his lucrative job as a market administrator.

but.

Anthony's eyes lit up when he saw the materials list.

Although he has limited talent and it would be difficult for him to become an alchemist, he has done considerable research in some aspects of alchemy.

I just glanced at the materials.

He immediately concluded that the strange man named Archie must be quite skilled in alchemy, and might even be an extremely rare alchemist!

The Wizarding World.

Alchemists are one of the six mysterious professions.

Learning alchemy and having the title of alchemist are two completely different concepts.

Any wizard can learn alchemy.

But only one in a thousand people can become an alchemist.

and.

The more skilled a wizard is in their mystical profession, the greater their power.

To advance to senior status, a wizard apprentice only needs to master one spell and delve deeply into a subject within the corresponding field of a mystical profession.

But I want to become an alchemist.

One must be proficient in most of the disciplines of alchemy, which requires a great deal of time and resources, and also demands a very high level of talent from the wizard himself.

A wizard's power comes from knowledge.

Among wizards of the same level, having a mysterious professional title means that one has more knowledge to learn and understand, a higher spiritual strength, and therefore far greater power than others of the same level.

Now.

Anthony was now completely convinced that the wizard named Archie was most likely a senior apprentice who was proficient in alchemy!

The family's supplies of items and potions are currently severely depleted, and they are in dire need of an alchemist to oversee things.

He immediately wrote a letter to his family explaining the reason.

Then I prepared to go there in person, both to test the waters and to try to reassure the other party in advance.

As long as the family's reply confirms that the person is not a criminal wizard wanted by Black Tower Academy and Raven Wizarding Society, he will spare no expense to recruit him with a large sum of money!
