Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 35 The Night Raven Society | Different Paths

Wizards have exceptional memories.

Even if Grant didn't introduce himself, Vic knew who he was.

On the day the talent test ended, Vic's fellow students were naturally divided into three tiers based on their varying levels of talent.

The group of geniuses is led by Sigurds Murray and consists of four others.

Now, apart from Sigurds who is out there making her way and has a bright future, two of the other four have already perished.

Grant was that young nobleman from the Winterwolf Territory.

Tall, handsome, and sunny.

He speaks with a strong voice.

Among the qualified students, he was one of the most talented, so that day he took the lead and gathered many of his classmates to form a mutual aid group.

Aaron was invited back then.

I wonder how their organization is doing now.

The "loser class" consisted of Vic, Luke, and Oliver. Now that Luke is dead, only the two of them remain.

Vic didn't want to attend these kinds of gatherings that were purely competitive and didn't involve any exchange of benefits.

waste time.

Before contacting Vic, Grant did some research, investigating Vic's background and life trajectory in recent years.

Born a servant in the Kingdom of Katen.

After the talent test, he wandered under a bridge for a year.

After completing the Secret Fire Silver Mine quest, he joins Brody's Alchemy Workshop.

He went away to train for four years and did not return. When he returned, he was already an apprentice-level alchemist.

The joys and sorrows, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, can probably only be truly understood by those who have experienced them firsthand.

Grant was also quite moved.

The trajectory of each person's fate is unpredictable.

Vic, who was once extremely down on his luck, is now an alchemist with a transcendent status.

Those two young geniuses with whom he had a deep connection.

Now it's just a handful of yellow earth.

but.

I learned some things about Vic from Aaron.

He guessed that this reclusive alchemist wouldn't easily accept the invitation.

So he didn't wait for Vic to refuse.

Grant spoke first, beaming, "Vic, don't refuse yet. Inviting you to this party is the first reason I came to see you."

And the second reason

He paused slightly at this point, "Could we speak in private?"

When Grant mentioned the second reason, his smile widened, and he seemed to want to say something but then stopped himself.

But Vic ignored his deliberate attempt to keep things mysterious.

He met countless people throughout his life.

I've seen countless methods.

This deliberate attempt to keep him in suspense is simply to pique his curiosity.

Once he complies with Grant's suggestion, he will inevitably fall into the logical trap that the other party has set up in advance.

Vic dislikes losing control in conversations with strangers.

Because it's dangerous.

If you have something to say, say it; if you don't, shut up.

He replied calmly, "I don't like to keep people in suspense, Mr. Grant. If you have nothing else to say, my time is precious, please leave."

Grant saw that Vic remained unmoved.

Moreover, the other party's unconventional response left him with no opportunity to use his prepared remarks.

In the mutual aid society, I was used to drinking and flattering with my fellow alumni, when I suddenly encountered a straightforward person like Vic.

Grant felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

It felt like punching cotton.

His smile changed slightly, but he controlled himself well and didn't react.

After a moment of silence, as if he had something difficult to say, he lowered his voice and explained, "Let's go inside and talk about it."

Vic neither confirmed nor denied it.

He turned and walked into the shop.

Grant closed the door behind him before saying, "To be honest, I know you and Aaron have a close relationship. I asked him to invite you to the party."

But Aaron bluntly told you that you wouldn't participate.

That's why I visited in person.

Actually, the reason I came here today is to take this opportunity of the gathering to invite you to join the organization I secretly founded, the Night Raven Society.

Seeing that Vic remained silent.

Grant, whose mind was far more agile than most, knew what Vic was worried about and calmly explained, "The members of the Night Raven Society do not know each other except for one thing."

You don't need to worry about your identity.

Those who are qualified to join the association are no less capable or have better backgrounds than you.

I will organize gatherings from time to time to facilitate the exchange of information and resources among members.

Grant's statement was very clear.

The Night Raven Society is not a meaningless organization like the peer support group.

Moreover, his subtext was full of flattery and praise for Vic.

The latest novel is first published here!

In other words.

Vic, you have great potential. Your strength and background are already top-tier among your peers.

She is from the same hometown as Sigise Murray.

He has a close relationship with the alchemist Brody.

the most critical.

Grant was convinced that Vic must have been helped by a powerful figure during his four years away, which enabled him to become a wizard apprentice.

After stating their purpose.

Grant believed Vic wouldn't refuse.

Because no one he invites would refuse an invitation from such a top-tier circle.

The resources exchanged here are unimaginable to outsiders.

but.

Vic's focus was not on the Night Raven Society.

He was curious.

Given Grant's abilities and background, how did he manage to integrate resources and organize personnel within the top circles at this stage?

Without a powerful figure backing them up.

A newly initiated wizarding apprentice can do this.

Even Vic couldn't help but feel admiration.

The skill and courage required are far beyond the reach of ordinary wizards.

The wizarding world is full of endless opportunities.

Vic does not look down on others simply because they have chosen a different path from his.

in contrast.

Through their conversations, Grant's impression of him had changed dramatically.

After a brief moment of thought, Vic concluded that Grant was worth the time he spent getting to know.

By joining the Night Raven Society, he could anonymously sell high-quality alchemy items, earn a large amount of Soul Stones, and exchange them for rare resources—a perfectly logical arrangement.

Since Grant had the audacity to form such an anonymous society in the treacherous wizarding world, Vic was certain that he wouldn't betray the secrets of the organization's members.

This is the foundation upon which the Night Raven Society exists.

As the organizer, Grant, acting as a secret broker, would likely reap substantial benefits from this.

A win-win situation for both sides.

After considering it for a while, Vic gave a clear answer.

"Joining the association is possible, but what's the price?"

To this extent.

Vic and Grant no longer needed to pretend.

Wizards are pragmatic.

Offer the terms, and each party will get what they need.

Grant responded, "I take a 10 percent cut of each transaction, and for collaborations and other matters, I take a different commission rate."

Vic paused for a moment, then asked, "When does the gathering for the same cohort begin?"

Grant received the answer he wanted and breathed a sigh of relief.
