Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 54 The Deal | Hill

The Palace of the Thorn Flower King covers a vast area.

Flowerbed fountain.

A gravel path.

The pure white building is exquisite and magnificent.

Vic wasn't surprised that the King of Thorns knew his own whereabouts.

This is the residence of a wizarding family.

It is reasonable for senior apprentices to have their backgrounds investigated after entering the program.

However, the other party knew his background.

Vic was somewhat surprised.

During his time at Black Tower Academy, he rarely went out or had contact with the outside world unless necessary.

My daily life revolves around two points: home and work.

Besides within the college.

He's not exactly a celebrity.

The only possibility is that someone from the Thornflower family placed an order with him and saw him in person.

Vic had no recollection of this.

Every week, at least eight or ten wizards would place orders with him. Over the course of fifteen years, he had come into contact with countless people, making it impossible for him to remember them all.

After having some guesses in my mind.

Vic guessed that the Thorn Flower royal family, like the Bell family, probably wanted him to receive offerings here for a period of time.

An alchemist from the Black Tower Academy.

Status.

No need to say it.

Follow the apprentice who is leading the way, and cross the courtyard.

On a luxurious private pasture, a man and a woman gallop on horseback, laughing and chatting intimately.

The man was tall and handsome, with a head of black hair.

The woman was elegant and beautiful, dressed in a pure white long dress.

If it weren't for the spiritual magnetic fields emanating from the two of them that allowed him to identify them as first-level wizards, Vic would have thought they were a young couple, descendants of royalty.

A century has passed.

Wizards who remain so loving are extremely rare.

but.

The experience of facing a first-class wizard during the Bell family era is still vivid in my mind.

Vic carefully suppressed his mental magnetic field and stood still, waiting for a while.

After dismounting, the man walked slowly to Vic, examined him for a moment, and smiled, "You don't need to be nervous. I have no ill intentions in coming to see you."

Seeing that Vic remained silent.

The man put one hand on his hip and introduced himself, "You can call me Andrew. The woman riding with me just now is my wife, Portia."

While the power of wizards is alluring, the lives of mortals remain captivating.

Isn't that right?

Compared to a cruel and tyrannical first-level wizard.

King Andrew of the Thorns behaves more like a traditional nobleman.

But Vic will not let his guard down because of this.

The wizard is cunning.

Speech and behavior.

Do not believe it easily.

Vic's time was precious, and he didn't want to listen to the other party's nonsense, so he lowered his head and said, "His Majesty the King requested to see me, so he probably didn't just want to chat."

Andrew laughed heartily and replied, "Ino sent someone to tell me that you are looking for ever-changing starlight in the trading market."

With your connections, it's impossible to buy it in Death Rift Valley.

But I have a deal.

Listen first, then answer.

Vic's willingness to come to the palace was purely a matter of luck.

Whether the deal mentioned by First-Rank Wizard Andrew is true or false is irrelevant.

The Wizarding World.

Reputation is such a thing.

It has always been the strong who are in control of the weak.

Even if the other party is lying repeatedly, it's normal, and Vic wouldn't be surprised.

"Portia and I have a daughter who is very talented in the field of change, but my husband and I are both very poor at this field."

There was no one in the family who could teach him.

An elder from my family once placed an order with Black Tower Academy. He had seen you there. He never imagined that years later, you would redeem yourself from Black Tower Academy and come to the capital of Thorn Flower Kingdom.

Our deal was simple.

You stay in the capital and teach my daughter for three years. Within those three years, I will surely help you obtain the ever-changing Starlight.

Think about it.

Vic remained calm and, without hesitation, replied, "Two years."

Seeing that he dared to bargain.

Andrew wasn't annoyed and laughed, "Two years it is, but I can't promise whether I'll get what you want."

If I break my promise.

Two years later, I will compensate you with two thousand soul stones.

The ruler of this thorny flower kingdom was so wealthy and powerful that even Vic was quite surprised.

He knew that the Thorn Flower Royal Family was the third most powerful wizarding force in the Death Rift region.

But he readily agreed to the two thousand soul stones.

This was beyond his expectations.

Upon closer reflection...

Even if you can't get the materials in two years, it's not bad to earn two thousand soul stones by investing some time and knowledge.

He has been running the shop for fifteen years.

The total income was only a little over three thousand soul stones.

Two thousand soul stones in two years is definitely not a small amount.

The latest novel is first published here!

Moreover, the subsequent search for global traders was extremely costly.

Now, after a series of events, only a little over 3,100 soul stones remain in his alchemy ring.

Although he was incredibly wealthy compared to the average senior apprentice.

However, in his previous life, Vic had dealt with world traders. Generally, if the other party's asking price wasn't outrageous, you would doubt the authenticity of their mysterious profession.

Three thousand soul stones.

not enough.

Wizards have long and ancient lives.

The first three ingredients for the advancement potion are all extremely rare.

Now that he has the opportunity to obtain the ever-changing starlight, he naturally won't let it pass.

Even if it fails.

There are also two thousand soul stones to be won, which will help accumulate wealth and prepare for finding world traders later.

You're guaranteed to make a profit.

After thinking for a moment, Vic agreed.

Seeing this, Andrew took out a gold ring and handed it to Vic, saying, "There are three hundred soul stones in here. I'm giving it to you as a gift."

Don't refuse.

He then waved into the distance.

A cute girl with black hair, black eyes, and delicate features jumped into his arms with joy.

"Father!"

Andrew looked at her with affection and introduced her, "This is my only daughter, Hill Thornflower."

Wizard families are different from ordinary families.

The former procreates mostly through the union of mortals and sorcerers.

Because the life form of wizards has gradually deviated from the mortal realm, the probability of offspring being born from unions between wizards is extremely low.

The King of Thorns rose one rank over four hundred years ago.

Only now do I have an only daughter.

That makes sense.

But Vic remained unmoved and asked, "Has your talent been tested?"

"Exceptional talent and excellent understanding of changing situations."

When talking about his beloved daughter, Andrew doesn't seem like a cruel first-class wizard at all.

He appeared gentle and refined.

but.

The wizarding world is full of wonders.

Their personal experiences are completely different.

It's understandable that his personality would change after becoming a wizard.

Andrew has been in love with another first-class wizard for hundreds of years without ever changing his mind; clearly, a cruel person could not do that.

at this time.

Hill, who had just turned thirteen, nestled in her father's arms, curiously peeking at Vic, and whispered, "Father, who is he?"

"He will be your instructor from now on, Mr. Vic, the alchemist."

"oh."

The little girl's eyes were pure and innocent, without any impurities.

Looking at Vic.

I became increasingly curious.

Compared to Joe, whom Vic had once taught.

Her starting point in her journey into the world of wizardry was vastly different from Hill's.

Andrew mentioned that he and his wife were not good at the field of change; in other words, the Thorn Flower family had a shallow understanding of the field of change.

They were willing to spend money to buy a top-quality Starlight.

Two thousand soul stones were added.

All for the sake of giving this little girl the opportunity to spend two years learning about the Transmutation realm from an alchemist.

To know.

Vic studied at the Black Tower Academy for fifteen years, emptied 90% of the knowledge in the Great Library, and finally redeemed himself for only 1,200 Soul Stones.

The scale of the investment is staggering.
