Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 29 Dead Memories

Mather looked surprised and asked in confusion, "Yara, didn't we agree on this?"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Avilia interrupted firmly, "I know, but after everything we've been through, don't you understand?"

Mather's face turned pale.

His lips moved as if trying to persuade him to stay, but the sudden heartbreak left his mind blank.

Although Avelia and Mather were childhood friends, nothing can escape the changes of time.

Even the purest emotions are the same.

After going through hardships, the two, who were once inseparable, are now at a crossroads in their lives, but have chosen different paths.

Avelia's comprehension is far superior to Mather's.

She now finally understood what Vic's words in the lab truly meant.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to become wizards.

She's willing to pay any price to hold onto it tightly!

in contrast.

Knight Mather, who only wanted a peaceful life, didn't understand the true meaning of Vic's words at all. At the time, he was only thinking about love and a bright future for the two of them.

but.

Now, fearing that Liszt was following him, Vic no longer had the leisurely mood he once had.

Although Avelia expressed her ambitions.

But Vic won't keep her around.

Vic's gaze swept across the grasslands and hills. Although no one was chasing him for the time being, he had experience in intercepting and seizing treasures over his thousand years in his previous life.

Lister Carter is likely hiding somewhere out of sight.

This not only prevents alerting the enemy, but also effectively prevents other wizards from discovering their intentions and getting there first.

Although Vic wanted to get rid of Avilia and Mather as soon as possible, he remained outwardly calm.

A brief moment of reflection.

He took out a notebook he had written for the Bell family, a soul stone, and tossed it into Avilia's hand.

Since he had once admired this red-haired girl, he would not change his mind.

Riding on horseback, his gaze looked down at her, his expressionless, ugly face gloomy and sinister. His tone was filled with the domineering air of a superior, and he seemed very satisfied with Avelia's choice, saying, "Everyone has one chance, and you've seized it."

The notebook contains my experimental notes from my time with the Bell family.

One Soul Stone is your reward for serving me for a year.

Vic's decisive and swift approach to things.

Mather and Avelia, both from wizarding families, were left stunned in place.

Especially Avelia.

She looked down at the alchemist's manual, worth a fortune, in her hand, unable to believe her eyes.

In her understanding of wizards.

Being petty and calculating.

It's a stereotype that's hard to erase.

The first thing he produced was an alchemist's manual; if it were a wizard from the Bell family, Avelia couldn't even imagine it.

"Lord Archie, I only wish to serve."

Before Avelia could finish speaking, Vic tossed out, "I don't need an ambitious squire. Let's go."

He rode away.

at the same time.

Mather stared intently at the wizard's journal in Avelia's hand, his eyes filled with undisguised greed and jealousy.

Although he has consistently stated that he does not want to get involved in the wizarding world again.

But having grown up in a wizarding family, how could he not understand the insurmountable gap between wizards and mortals?

Once you become a wizard apprentice.

In the mortal world, he could indulge all his desires without any restraint.

When a real opportunity is presented to him.

How could he not grasp it?

He was just too foolish and short-sighted.

Avilia clenched her teeth.

Although possessing a wizard's journal grants her a ticket to the path of wizardry, the chance of becoming a wizard's apprentice by serving that alchemist would be far greater than it is now.

She is not reconciled.

Watching Vic's retreating figure, Avelia called out, "Lord Archie! If I survive to become a wizard apprentice, where should I look for you?!"

She wasn't like Mather, who was inherently dull-witted and short-sighted, only concerned with the present.

After all these events, she gradually discovered that the alchemist named Archie was very likely a powerful wizard in disguise.

Otherwise, Lister Carter wouldn't have inexplicably made way for him in the first place.

Her question also had two layers of meaning.

Firstly, she wanted to express that she would repay Vic for his help today when she becomes a wizard in the future. Secondly, she wanted to rely on Vic to go further on the path of wizardry.

A lone wizard with no family or wizarding organization affiliation faces numerous hardships.

Upon hearing Avelia's question.

Without turning around, Vic naturally uttered a place name, "Beyond the Stars".

The latest novel is first published here!

Avelia silently memorized the name.

But she was completely unaware that Mather's expression was gradually turning ferocious as he stood to the side.

The ride was bumpy.

The distant horizon gradually darkened.

Vic frowned. He heard Mather and Avelia arguing behind him. An alchemist's notebook was valuable enough to make others envious.

Reasonable.

But there was one thing that puzzled him.

What is the other side of the stars?

Wizards do not believe in coincidences or metaphysics.

If "Beyond the Stars" is knowledge imbued with energy, then being able to read this place name must mean that he has completely memorized and understood it.

However, Vic's spiritual body lacks a corresponding knowledge system.

If "Beyond the Stars" is just a place name, then there should be a clear record of it in his memory.

Vic searched through all his memories from his previous life.

There is no explanation or specific location regarding the other side of the stars.

Could it be that his mental body developed memory defects after the program for regressing into a lich malfunctioned?

Vic denied this speculation.

Because only the mental state of a madman can have bad memories.

Clearly, he is mentally sound and not a madman.

The final step in logical reasoning.

Vic believes this might be a "dead memory".

Although "dead memories" are a rare memory phenomenon that only high-level wizards can use, they do not belong to the realm of mystical knowledge and do not possess energy.

In the wizarding world.

If a wizard lives too long, he will selectively forget some memories in order to maintain his focus when studying.

but.

These memories are not truly forgotten, but rather hidden within the wizard's spirit. They can still be passively triggered by certain circumstances, causing the wizard to recall fragments of those memories.

Vic's previous life spanned several millennia.

It is normal for a spiritual entity to contain memories of the deceased.

It's very likely that in his previous life, he made an appointment with someone to meet on the "other side of the stars," which is why it was passively triggered by Avilia's inquiry.

Vic also noticed this.

In his previous life, he seemed to be very familiar with this place, which is why he could answer so fluently.

and so.

Vic was now very interested in "Beyond the Stars".

Unfamiliar place names symbolize the unknown.

Wizards' curiosity and greed for the unknown even surpasses their thirst for knowledge.

If our future strength allows it.

He will find this place beyond the stars and revisit it.

But right now.

The priority is to first escape from Lister Carter's possible pursuit, and then find a safe and secluded place to advance to senior apprenticeship.
