Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 37 "Destiny" | Spellcasting Domain and Deck

talent.

property.

Character.

luck.

The four elements that constitute an individual's destiny.

To become a wizard, one needs at least one outstanding element.

But if you want to go far enough on the path of a wizard, any one of these elements can become a weakness.

Reality is harsh.

The wizard died when his life was over.

Even when fate smiles upon you, there is a price to pay.

Vic is wealthy, of simple yet steadfast character, and suited for asceticism.

But as a price, he was mediocre in talent and unlucky.

Even with the profound experience of reaching the peak of the sixth-level wizard in the previous life.

Vic remained cautious in everything he did, seeking stability in all matters.

Sigurds is exceptionally gifted, blessed with incredible luck that far surpasses others, and is also humble and hardworking.

But the price she paid for being favored by fate was enormous.

My network of contacts is dwindling.

For wizards, connections are also a form of wealth, even more so than money.

Vic knew this well, so when Siggs wrote to him and Aaron that the Mori family had been wiped out, he wasn't surprised.

Because everything is just beginning, the stronger she becomes, the greater the price she will pay.

Grant, on the other hand, was quite the opposite.

Mediocre talent, mediocre character.

But when it comes to building connections and integrating resources, his methods are extraordinary and admirable.

Aaron, on the other hand, reveals mediocrity in all four aspects, yet steadily progresses in all.

After the gathering ended.

After chatting for a while, Aaron realized that Grant had something to discuss with Vic, so he didn't linger.

After he left.

Grant gave a wry smile and explained apologetically, "Vic, among our peers, only you and Aaron are currently in the best situation. What happened today was my oversight."

Oliver, you should remember.

It's that noble descendant you met with Luke back then; he was originally going to participate as well.

He was too focused on personal gain, so I stopped him.

Unexpectedly, things backfired in the end; I'm truly ashamed.

Vic understood what he meant.

Grant wanted to use the gathering to showcase his abilities, but his shallow understanding of human nature backfired.

The value that Vic's current status and power bring far exceeds his expectations.

This is also a negative consequence of members of an organization having mismatched status and position.

The members of the mutual aid society all wanted to use their status as fellow students to build a relationship with Viktor and seek personal gain.

But the price they can afford is too low.

After this incident, Grant will likely reconsider the necessary conditions for maintaining an organization.

Vic responded, "It's human nature to be prejudiced against the poor and favor the rich. I'm not here today to hear your lamentations and apologies."

Lead the way.

Grant had assumed that Vic would look down on him because of this, or that he would leave the Night Raven Society.

Now we are receiving a positive response.

He dared not delay and hurriedly said, "Today's gathering place is not far from the academy. Remember to suppress your spiritual magnetic field when you meet with the other members."

To avoid being remembered.

Even if he doesn't say it, Vic will keep his identity hidden.

Then.

Grant took out a large black robe he had purchased and handed it to Vic. The two left the academy in silence.

It was nighttime.

There were very few pedestrians on the road.

A purplish-gray mist.

A pale moon.

The strangely shaped, withered trees cast long, eerie shadows in the pale light slanting across the ground.

Occasionally, a mournful wolf howl could be heard.

Before attending the Night Raven Society meeting, Grant explained the various rules for joining the organization to Vic.

All commissions and transactions undertaken by the Academy strictly adhere to the principle of equivalence.

Because the identities of members of the association are kept strictly confidential, any cooperation that requires the use of one's real identity must be approved by the organizers to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

The association charges a management fee of ten soul stones per year.

The society's gatherings are not held regularly; the organizers send invitations to invited members periodically.

Besides.

Each member has a unique code name within the association.

This title was drawn from the Night Raven deck personally crafted by Grant, and there was no set pattern to it, in order to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from spying on it.

Vic naturally needed a code name within the society.

Before arriving at the destination.

Grant took out a set of beautifully patterned black cards and said, "Vic, pick a card from this set based on your intuition."

Vik has lived two lives and possesses exceptional vision.

He could tell at a glance that this deck contained a mysterious power.

The latest novel is first published here!

So he didn't take it.

Grant knew what Vic was worried about and explained with a smile, "You don't need to worry, this is a toy-like thing made using my cursed spirit properties."

It is not aggressive.

You can rest assured.

As he spoke, Grant casually pulled out a few bills and handed them to Vic.

Even so, Vic still has to be on guard.

The cursed spirits that Grant mentioned are mysterious creatures that awaken on their own after a wizard with talent in the field of sorcery is promoted to wizard apprentice.

All witchcraft related to sorcery revolves around the spirit of the curse.

The characteristics of cursed spirits vary from person to person, so the witchcraft in the field of sorcery is also bizarre and unpredictable, making it impossible to guard against.

but.

He wasn't worried about the legendary and terrifying witchcraft of death immediate.

After all, Grant was just a wizarding apprentice, and even a thousand years from now, his abilities wouldn't be enough to access that level of knowledge.

Moreover, sorcery is the only system that does not strictly adhere to the principle of equivalence.

Witchcraft in any realm of sorcery.

Wizards need to pay an extra price, the amount of which varies depending on the spirit in the curse.

The legendary Curse of Death Perception requires the caster to pay the price of death, and after death, their consciousness will enter the warp to suffer eternal torment from evil gods.

At least.

In Vic's memories of his previous life spanning thousands of years, he had never seen a wizard dare to use the Curse of Death Perception.

Even the most lawless criminal wizards are wary of the Curse of Death Perception and dare not use it.

These ones.

They are just memories that lack energy.

The additional cost of knowledge commensurate with this level is likely far greater than imagined.

Ignoring Grant's helpless expression, Vic carefully examined the deck before finally feeling relieved.

There are two major systems of witchcraft in the realm of sorcery.

Blessing system.

Curse system.

Grant's deck uses Blessing spells and is not offensive.

Vic didn't make a specific choice; he simply reached into the deck and took one card.

The pure black cards are painted with gold powder ink.

Above is a human face that appears to be alive, constantly twisting and changing.

The corresponding term below is: fate.

Grant chuckled, "You don't need to worry about what's on the cards. According to the card's hints, the codename you learned at Night Raven is Destiny."

Apprentice-level spirits do not have the power to predict the future or personal destiny.

But wizards are naturally cautious.

Vic wouldn't take it seriously, but he wouldn't underestimate it either.

The characteristics of cursed spirits are incredibly diverse.

The images and words on the cards must have a certain meaning.

After obtaining the code name for the Night Raven Society.

The two quickened their pace, preparing to head to the party location.

At this time.

A figure dressed in a plain-colored robe, whose face was obscured, suddenly emerged from behind a withered tree and blocked the road.

thereafter.

Three more people surrounded them from all sides.
