Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 24 Bottleneck

How keen the wizard's observation skills were!

Every word and action of Mather could not escape Vic's perception.

Let's begin upon entering.

He and the red-haired girl standing in the middle would occasionally make eye contact.

but.

Vic didn't expose her; instead, his gaze turned cold, like a vulture on patrol, greedily roaming over the five girls in the room.

These five girls were carefully selected by Lamb Bell.

The body is clean.

They each have their own unique beauty, but they are all very pretty, no less so than Sigurd Murray in her prime.

Moreover, his talent is also quite high.

Three of them were full-fledged knights, and two were knight apprentices.

Although they had been taught by their families and were well prepared mentally.

But upon entering the hall and seeing Vic, a vicious and ugly man who was ugly to the core, the five girls turned pale for a moment.

She didn't dare to look up and meet Vic's gaze, afraid that he would choose her.

In his previous life, Vic lived for a thousand years.

She has countless female confidantes.

But time is merciless; even the most beautiful women will eventually turn into dust, falling into the depths of memory and drifting away with the wind.

When they entered the room, Vic was prepared to push them away immediately, lest the Bell family's spies be watching him.

but.

He noticed that Mather's gaze was fixed on him.

Vic changed his mind.

With just a little probing, Vic could tell that as long as his gaze lingered on the red-haired girl in the very center...

Mather would tense up and stare intently at him.

A person can hide the kindness or malice in their heart.

But the one thing they couldn't hide was the love that came from their nature and instincts.

Although Mather thought he was hiding it well, his emotional changes were telling Vic not to choose that red-haired girl, that he had liked her for a long time!

Thinking about this...

Vic grinned.

Its ugly face looked like it wanted to devour people.

Under Mather's tense, sweating gaze, he slowly raised his hand and pointed to the red-haired girl in the center, saying, "Let her stay."

Everyone else, leave.

Vic finished speaking.

Mather was struck dumb.

The other four girls breathed a sigh of relief and fled the reception room as if they were escaping.

Only the red-haired girl remained standing there, her face ashen.

She looked up and met Mather's gaze.

The bitterness deep in her eyes did not show on her expression at all, because she knew that the affection between her and Mather was insignificant compared to the interests of her family.

Seeing the girl standing there silently, Lamb Bell frowned and scolded, "Avilia, from today onwards, you will serve Master Archie, understand?"

The girl nodded in agreement.

At this moment.

Standing beside Vic, Knight Mather clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white. His rage at being robbed of his love made him want to tear Vic and Lamb apart.

But reason told him that doing so would result in death.

everything.

For the benefit of the family.

but.

All of his actions were under the watchful eyes of Vic and Lamb.

Lamb frowned.

Now that the family is in dire straits, the continuation and survival of the family are paramount.

Two young people with little talent, raised by their family with abundant resources. Sacrificing themselves for the family's interests at this crucial moment, he owes them nothing in terms of both sentiment and reason.

Then, Lamb said expressionlessly, "Mather, I remember you've always worked at the Mirror Lake Trading Market. Why are you back this time?"

I heard Lamb's voice.

Mather, who had been fantasizing about being a hero and rescuing a damsel in distress, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

His face was pale, and his lips were moving.

Before he could respond, Vic interrupted, "I brought him back."

Lamb originally wanted to find an excuse to send Mather away, so as to prevent the young man from ruining the family's interests for his own personal reasons.

After Vic spoke, he didn't say anything more.

Then.

Under Lamb's arrangement.

Vic moved into a luxurious manor-style villa within the castle.

It features a private garden and fountain, and is fully equipped with internal facilities.

One day later.

The Bell family sent a year's worth of offerings and supplies to Vic's residence.

Six hundred Soul Stones.

The raw materials for making the first batch of thirty bottles of healing potion.

The girl chosen by Vic was also sent along with them.

Avilia.

Changes in social status and position.

Her knight's chainmail had been replaced with a fiery red gown.

The latest novel is first published here!

With her deep red long hair and exquisitely sculpted features, she resembled a crimson star in the night sky, dazzling and radiant.

The family wanted her to get together with Vic as soon as possible, so that the family could continue the lineage of alchemists.

The long skirt underwent special modifications.

The side slit in her skirt revealed her long, shapely legs.

It was supposed to be an off-the-shoulder dress, but it was only held in place by two loose strings at the back, and it would fall to the ground with the slightest tug.

Because Avilia is a formal knight, her figure is far superior to that of ordinary girls her age.

The faint muscle lines on her back, enveloped by the girl's warm, fair skin, exude a classical sculptural beauty.

Mather, the knight who also served Vic, could only watch from afar with gritted teeth from beginning to end.

After yesterday.

Lamb Bell had specifically warned that if Mather caused his family to fall out with Master Archie because of his affair with Avilia...

He will personally escort him away.

Although a day is not long, every second of Mather's life was agonizing.

He hated his own cowardice.

Why didn't they stop it back then? Even if they died, it would have been better than this.

He watched as his beloved girl lay in the bed of an old and ugly monster.

He hates it.

but.

Vic chose Avelia not because he had any particular fetish, but for a deeper reason.

After devoting oneself entirely to alchemy, time becomes meaningless.

Like sand flowing through your fingers.

Passed by.

Three months later.

The first batch of thirty bottles of healing potion has been made.

Vic still had five bottles left over; according to the agreement between him and the Bell family, the extra bottles belonged to him.

On the market, a bottle of a qualified healing potion is worth three Soul Stones.

Although the five bottles were not many, they were all of excellent quality that he had specially made, and together they were worth twenty-five soul stones, an extra source of income.

Potion making is different from alchemy ring making.

Because it is taken directly by the human body, it requires more effort and has a longer production cycle.

Vic's expertise in alchemy.

He could make thirty bottles of magic potion in a month.

However, he deliberately delayed it for three months, and all the finished products were either qualified or of poor quality.

It matches the skill level of a seasoned apprentice alchemist, so there's no need to worry about anyone suspecting anything.

Vic devoted all his spare time to borrowed books and knowledge, devouring them with great eagerness.

As agreed, one-third of the Bell family's library will be open to the public.

During this period of time.

Vic has never slacked off in his studies, but the energy density of his spiritual body has been increasing very slowly.

There is a lack of knowledge system to support the construction of witchcraft.

This has gradually become a bottleneck for Vic's promotion to senior level.

But Vic wasn't in a hurry.

The energy density of the spiritual body has not yet reached the limit of the wizard apprentice level, and there is still room for further development.

Seek stability in everything.
