Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 76 An Encounter with an Old Friend | Past Events | Differences in Status

The representatives of the Yongheng Chamber of Commerce spent a considerable amount of time at the Xueshan Trading Market.

In addition to the first-level wizards dispatched by the merchant guild, the escort was also accompanied by them.

There were also two first-level wizards from the Mechanical Sky City, members of the Purification Committee.

One of them.

Vic thought he looked familiar, but after thinking it over, he felt something was amiss and didn't rush to acknowledge him.

On the contrary, it was the other side.

One night, he took the initiative to visit me.

Upon meeting.

This man looked incredibly familiar to Vic; his every word and action resembled that of a tall, middle-aged man he knew from the past.

He laughed heartily and said in a strong voice, "Vic, the last time we met must have been seventy years ago. I never imagined that you, who had the worst talent back then, would become a first-level alchemist."

Ha ha."

The person who received him was Kevin Sears.

Seeing that the other person and Vic were old acquaintances, he didn't dare to say much.

Vic's expression was extremely strange. After a long silence, he uttered a name.

"Luke?"

"Of course it's me. It's been so many years. Your appearance has changed a lot, but your personality hasn't changed at all."

Back when Vic returned from his training at Black Tower Academy, Aaron described Luke's death in detail, his expression somber, it didn't seem fake.

How did he come back to life?

The wizard was meticulous.

A moment later, Vic understood.

He never expected that Aaron, who was always honest and simple and couldn't keep a secret, would also learn to lie.

Even he was perfectly fooled.

They believed Luke was dead.

Since the other party readily admitted his identity, Vic wasn't too surprised. He instructed Kevin to bring some food and drink, and then invited Luke to sit down.

Speaking of which...

He still owed Luke a favor back then.

but.

Luke was used to Vic's indifferent reaction and felt a sense of familiar closeness.

After sitting down, before Vic could ask any questions.

He candidly recounted the harrowing experience of having to live off a woman to support himself in order to obtain a wizard's journal.

"Alas, the story of faking my death to escape is a long one. One of my good friends even lost his life because of it, and I still feel resentful about it to this day."

The two had a conversation.

The truth of long-buried events is gradually coming to light.

Luke orchestrated his own fake death to get rid of his former apprentice, the jeweler Sherry.

Although the knight's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, they were still far from sufficient compared to a wizard apprentice.

At the very beginning.

His body can still hold up.

But the further they went, the more insatiable the witch's demands became, and her desire for control grew stronger. She treated him as her personal possession, and her methods became increasingly perverse.

Serving for one year.

After saving up enough Soul Stones to buy the Wizard's Handbook.

He had long harbored thoughts of resignation, so he simply pulled Aaron and one of his friends together and personally planned to be ambushed and killed far from home.

It was because of this incident.

His friend was inexplicably targeted and ambushed, and died unexpectedly.

The two then talked for a while about their respective situations.

Vic was as he saw it.

Back then, after Luke left the Academy, he spent his time in the Breast Kingdom and made many achievements. Later, he heard that the Breast King, the first-class wizard Andrew, had something to do and needed to leave Death Rift.

He seized the opportunity.

He spent his life savings, begging the other person to take him away and explore a bigger world.

For an ordinary level one wizard, taking money and not doing anything is the least of their worries.

In serious cases, it can lead to murder and robbery.

There's no point in trying to reason with an apprentice.

But Luke encountered Andrew the Thornflower.

Since then, he has remained in the mechanical floating city to develop.

Although the glorious old land is extremely dangerous, it also offers many opportunities. With his talent, he has risen from a wizard apprentice to the first level in just thirty years through hard work and struggle.

He is now a member of the Suspended City Purification Committee.

Their specific duties are similar to those of the Black Tower Academy's disciplinary committee, mainly responsible for maintaining regional stability, hunting down wizards who make a living by robbery, and investigating the whereabouts of criminal wizards.

Although the resume is impressive, the hardships involved are known only to those who know.

During their conversation.

They are already testing each other's strength.

This will determine your attitude.

Luke's mental magnetic field strength is average, indicating that he has only recently advanced to the next level.

However, given his talent, it is quite remarkable that he has advanced one level in such a short time.

at the same time.

Luke was also secretly probing Vic's mental field.

Although the strength was average and unremarkable, he knew that Vic had been discreet from the very first time they met.

This intensity was clearly intentional on his part.

The knowledge reserves of a first-level alchemist are terrifying, and the corresponding spiritual energy density is definitely not low.

When talking about Vic's status as a Level 1 Alchemist, Luke made no attempt to hide the envy and jealousy in his eyes, and sighed, "Alas, even though we're both Level 1, I can't compare to your achievements."

Level 1 Alchemist.

If we were in the Mechanical Sky City, even my boss would have to fawn over you.

"I can't afford to associate with you!"

Luke's words were full of flattery, but Vic remained unmoved.

Among wizards.

interests come first.

Although they are old friends.

But his relationship with Luke was far from that close.

After some casual conversation, Luke revealed his purpose, gave a wry smile, and said, "I heard that Black Tower Academy has been destroyed. I thought you died in Death Rift Valley."

Now that we've unexpectedly met, I have a favor to ask of you.

Vic owed Luke a favor in the past, and now Luke is subtly asking for repayment. As long as it's not an exorbitant demand, he won't refuse.

He said calmly, "Speak."

He saw that Vic was thinking of their past relationship and his eyes were filled with emotion.

These years away from home.

He was used to seeing people's hearts be unpredictable and their faces turn on him without warning.

Although he had helped Vic once back then.

But now Vic is a high-ranking first-level alchemist, with abundant wealth, unfathomable strength, and the authorization and endorsement of the Eternal Merchant Guild.

High status.

He needs to look up.

It's perfectly reasonable for the other party to kick him out without any regard for past friendship.

So he spoke earnestly, saying, "Decades ago, when I was still an apprentice, I had a son with a woman in the glorious old land."

He has a talent for change.

A wizard apprentice who was promoted ten years ago.

Although you work at the Alchemists' Guild in the Floating City, you haven't been able to get a permanent position. Now that you're a Level 1 Alchemist, you should be able to get some influence at the Guild.

I don't ask for much.

"Once my son gets a permanent position, I will reward him handsomely afterwards."

Vic said indifferently, "No need for thanks. You helped me once back then, and after that, we're even."

Back in college.

Luke had known Vic for some time and knew Vic's character.

He was not surprised to receive this reply.

He quickly got up to thank her.

Vic waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to do that, and said, "Give me a name, and I'll get it done for you within a week."

"My son's name is Seth. He's an intern at the academy and works in the general services department."

Vic nodded, indicating that he was aware of the information.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Luke made an excuse to leave.

Vic retrieved the spell doll Grant had given him and used it to transmit a message.

Inquire about the upcoming Night Ravens Trading Fair.

He received a reply very quickly.

Grant will notify you in advance within a year.

Then.

Vic relayed Luke's son's situation to Grant, asking him to use the power of the Eternal Merchant Guild to help resolve the matter. After this, he would owe Grant a personal favor.

Let Grant handle it.

Vic acted after careful consideration, not on a whim.

now.

Glen is not what it used to be.

They established a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship.

Grant was already a senior level one.

On the surface, it controls the entire Eternal Merchant Guild, and even in the Mechanical Sky City, it still holds a superior position.

But his impression of Vic from his time at Black Tower College remained deeply ingrained in his mind.

In his eyes, Vic had always been mysterious and unpredictable, as if shrouded in a mist, making him difficult to fathom.

One should not make hasty judgments.

Therefore, Vic owes him a personal favor.

He takes it very seriously.
