Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 25 Terrifying Schemes | Cracks

Wizards have long and ancient lives.

a year.

In the blink of an eye.

this day.

As usual, Avilia carried a piece of roasted meat and carried the task given to her by her family, walking expressionlessly into Vic's laboratory.

Over the past year, under the tutelage of some experienced women in the tribe, she has attempted to seduce Vic on numerous occasions.

But the alchemists, absorbed in knowledge and experimentation, remained unmoved.

Avelia didn't quite understand what the alchemist who had specifically chosen her to serve him was thinking.

even.

She stood in front of the mirror more than once, questioning the meaning of life.

first time.

She still harbored some unrealistic fantasies about the future.

She hopes to leave behind an alchemist bloodline for her family as soon as possible, and at that price, she will leave the family and elope with her beloved Mather.

Hopefully, Mather can find a way to help her get it.

Hopefully, Mather will step forward and help her escape from here that very night.

Even if they die.

But it has developed to this point.

She was completely numb.

The one you deeply love is always submissive and hesitant.

Willing to sacrifice for the family is naive and laughable.

All her unrealistic fantasies about the future have been completely shattered.

Even her once bright and sparkling eyes have gradually lost their luster.

The short span of a mortal's life is like a shooting star in the night sky. Even if they fall to the ground and their remains are lost, they still want to burn themselves out with all their might.

But in Vic's heart...

Only knowledge remains constant.

Only immortality can illuminate the endless darkness and the unknown.

He doesn't care what mortals, whose lives are as fleeting as a candle flame, think or feel.

Moreover.

The wizard was shrewd and cunning.

Wizards who are driven to the brink of procreation are rare gems in the entire wizarding world.

Vic's time is incredibly precious.

When he decided to join the Bell family, Knight Mather was a pawn he had planted long ago to deal with any possible situation.

Choose Avilia.

What he valued was the close relationship between this woman and the knight Mather.

Because it's profitable.

just now.

Vic thought the time was about right.

He put down the test tube, glanced at the silent, expressionless red-haired girl, and spoke his first words to her in a year.

"Avilia, call Mather in."

Hearing Vic's cold, hoarse voice, the girl raised her head, her eyes vacant.

She didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave.

Not long after.

Mather, who was waiting outside the laboratory, strode into the room.

Compared to when Vic first met this young knight in the trading market, he was much more impressive.

Now Mather is like a stray dog, disheveled and listless.

even.

He dared not look directly at his beloved.

Upon seeing Vic, he bowed slightly in respect, kept his distance from Avelia, and stood silently to the side.

The red-haired girl witnessed this scene.

His eyes held a complex expression, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Vic wasn't surprised.

Mather's character, these changes were all part of his plan.

The laboratory environment was very messy.

The light was dim.

A nauseating stench filled the air; it was the smell of corpse flowers.

Vic stood beside the testing table, his gaze looking down at her, his voice cold and ruthless, and said, "You are in pain, Mather, but the root of the problem is not me."

Avilia and Mather knew what Vic was talking about.

They came from a family of wizards.

I've learned just how terrifying the observational abilities of these powerful beings are.

Their love could not be kept secret from them.

Avilia was still thinking and angry. Wasn't all of this caused by you, the alchemist? But she dared not say it out loud.

Mather just stood there dejectedly.

Without any intention of resisting, they looked resigned to their fate.

but.

Vic was very satisfied with his condition.

You don't need to worry about backlash when using this kind of person.

Vic took out three Soul Stones and threw them in front of Mather, his hoarse voice describing a fact that was more cruel than his words.

"This world is a dog-eat-dog world."

Weakness is not a sin.

Ignorance and lack of ambition are what truly matter.

"That woman named Avelia and this bag of soul stones are yours."

Mather and Avilia initially thought they had misheard.

The latest novel is first published here!

The two exchanged a strange look.

A thoughtful look appeared in the depths of Avelia's eyes.

Mather looked puzzled and asked, "Lord Archie, I don't understand."

Vic stood with his hands behind his back, the dim light casting shadows on his ugly face from above.

Despite having his bones and muscles modified, Vic is short in stature.

But the faint spiritual magnetic field, in the eyes of these two, appeared as tall and majestic as the stars in the universe, impossible to look directly at.

Vic's voice was icy cold as he said, "If you want something, you have to pay a price: love, wealth, freedom."

I can give you everything you want.

But you need to do one thing for me.

This is also why Vic has always kept Mather by his side.

Because he needs to understand the current situation of the Bell family, what is happening and what will happen.

During his year in the Bell family.

Viktor, engrossed in knowledge and experimentation, was oblivious to everything else around him.

In order to keep him in check, the Bell family will definitely keep some things from him.

To obtain accurate intelligence, one needs someone who is easy to control and has no ulterior motives.

The initial choice was Knight Mather, but Avelia's appearance made the plan much simpler.

A woman on whom her family placed great hopes.

It's easy to find out some confidential information.

If Mather were to do it, Vic would inevitably have to put in more effort.

Then.

Vic made his request to Avelia.

In return, he would pay the Bell family a certain amount of Soul Stones to buy the two people and leave this place after the deed was done.

After Mather learned of Vic's true intention in keeping him by his side,

In an instant.

My body was covered in cold sweat, as if I had fallen into an ice cave.

He knew that no wizard could become a senior apprentice without being dull-witted.

But Vic's deep and terrifying cunning filled him with a profound fear.

Like a venomous snake coiled around the neck.

It is an instinctive fear of being manipulated at will.

As knights and descendants of the Bell family, not betraying the family is the bottom line for their survival.

Even if betrayed and fled.

Other families and wizarding organizations in the same area would not take him in either.

Everyone hates traitors.

But when faced with freedom and love...

Faced with the huge profits promised by Vic.

Mather's buried courage suddenly surged up, and he abruptly grabbed Avilia's wrist, saying recklessly, "This is our chance! Yara! Follow Master Archie and leave this place with me."

Then start a new life!

Overwhelmed with excitement, Mather forgot his duty and even used his childhood nickname to call Avelia.

Time can gradually reveal a person's true nature.

Although Avelia had some idea of ​​what was going on, she still couldn't recognize the person she loved.

A moment of hesitation.

She agreed.

Before leaving.

Avelia turned around, not looking at Mather, but instead giving Vic a deep look. Her reddish-brown eyes gleamed as she said, "Lord Archie, I need a definite promise."

Vic is thoughtful and meticulous.

The subtle rift between the man and woman was crystal clear to him.

His ugly face broke into a mocking smile as he said, "Your freedom is worthless to me, young man."
