Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 88 The Influence of Status and Connections

The ground port of the mechanical floating city.

It is huge in scale.

The daily throughput exceeds 100,000 tons of cargo.

Because of the huge flow of people and their complex backgrounds, there are many local gangs entrenched in this area.

and.

The Floating City itself is a massive city with a population exceeding one million.

The regions are not interconnected.

It varies greatly from region to region.

Loken found a local organization called the "Serpent Messenger".

The organization's leader is a senior apprentice.

He has three wizard apprentices under his command.

The knights had a large retinue and numerous members.

Their strength in the port area is unfathomable.

He didn't expect a local gang to have information about someone as important as Vic, but at the very least, he hoped to find a way to track down the wizard.

to this end.

He spent a huge sum of money, including a soul stone, to buy information about the other party.

However, when the other party inquired about the reason...

Loken dared not reveal Vic's name.

The terrifying experience of more than a dozen knights instantly turning into a bloody mist was still fresh in his mind, and according to his observation, his new master was extremely low-key and disliked trouble.

Therefore, he dared not reveal Vic's identity.

He only mentioned that he had a friend who worked in the Sky City.

Then.

At the other party's request, Loken hesitated for a long time before deciding whether to take out the ring.

Although he was worried about being intercepted and killed, the gap in status and power limited his imagination.

In Loken's view, Vic would not give him anything too valuable as a token; even the mysterious creations of the wizarding world are mostly cheap.

Even if you give it out, no one will covet it.

After much deliberation.

He was now eager to find Vic, lest his master grow impatient and come looking for him, only to die an unexplained death.

Only then did he take out the ring.

For Vic.

He didn't care about the life or death of a knight.

But for Loken...

He dared not neglect the task assigned by Vic, lest he displease the other party and bring about his own death.

When we parted ways.

Vic told Locken to take the ring to him.

This squire had taken it upon himself to fulfill his mission, and he traveled tirelessly without daring to be negligent in any way.

pity.

He still underestimated Vic's status and strength.

Loken never dreamed of this.

The wizard he served could casually give him something worth a hundred soul stones, which almost brought him to his death!

Several days later.

A knight, disheveled and covered in wounds, with one leg completely crippled, struggled to walk through the Sky City trading market.

His face was deathly pale.

There were still traces of blood on his forehead.

Along the way, he inquired about the arrival of a first-level wizard in the floating city, but everyone else thought he was crazy.

Until the Purification Committee, responsible for maintaining order within the floating city, arrested him and prepared to send him out of the city.

Even though he was plagued by bad luck along the way and almost lost his life.

Loken never told anyone else Vic's name.

When they first met, Vic's low-key demeanor but ruthless methods left a deep impression on Loken.

Like a huge shadow.

Lingering.

He wasn't sure if Vic was living in the city in hiding.

That's why the road has been so bumpy.

Now they're going to be deported.

Having reached a dead end, in desperation, Loken told his senior apprentice, who was trying to capture him, the name of a certain person.

"My master is the wizard Vic! I've been sent here to find him!"

The apprentice had naturally never heard of Vic's name.

The first-level wizard leading the group paused for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly raised his hand to signal his subordinates to stop. Turning around, he frowned, sized up Loken, and said, "Are you sure your master is the wizard Vic? Do you have any token?"

The token was brought up.

Loken gave a bitter smile, a wave of despair washing over him. He said, "I was robbed on my way here."

but.

The level one wizard leading the group did not continue to make things difficult for him.

He then whispered a few words in the ear of one of the apprentices.

The latter's expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly released Loken's arm, his eyes filled with shock.

The first-level wizard gestured to his subordinates to remain silent, his brow furrowed slightly, and pressed on, "Who stole your token?"

Loken remained silent and did not answer.

Generally speaking, it is a major taboo for a squire to cause trouble for the wizard he serves due to his incompetence.

The first-class wizards of the Purification Committee could understand Loken's actions.

He didn't make things difficult for them, and instead ordered his two subordinates to continue patrolling, saying, "You, come with me."

The situation inexplicably improved.

Loken hadn't expected it either.

The person who captured him was a first-class wizard of the Mechanical Sky City's Purification Committee, a position of extraordinary status and immense power.

In his eyes, he was already an unattainable figure, like a god in the clouds.

But the wizard apprentice's attitude changed just now.

He saw it all.

An unbelievable idea gradually surfaced in his mind.

The latest novel is first published here!

Is Lord Vic's status even higher than that of this wizard from the Purification Committee?

along the way.

Loken dared not utter a single unnecessary word.

After traversing half the city, we arrived at a district that was visibly becoming increasingly luxurious.

The first-level wizard led him to a huge, detached building that resembled a royal palace.

"Remember, regardless of whether the adult living there is someone you are loyal to, do not lose your composure when you see him, understand?"

Loken nodded hastily.

The wizards of the Purification Committee have law enforcement authority in the Floating City, making them powerful figures with extensive influence and connections, even to ordinary wizards.

Even faster, let alone a mortal.

Loken came from the mortal world, but he had heard the rumors about this part of the world more than once.

It's remarkable that such an important person would be so cautious.

The wizards who live there possess status and power.

He couldn't imagine it.

Not long after.

The mechanical golem opened the door to the house.

After the first-level wizard explained his purpose, the two stepped inside.

Pass through the courtyard.

The mechanical golem emitted a synthesized voice.

"The master will be here shortly. Please wait where you are and do not move around."

Although Loken was already middle-aged.

But in the wizard's eyes, he was no different from a toddler.

He stared longingly at the corner of the corridor in the distance, knowing the answer in his heart but still unable to believe it.

Until a figure dressed in a simple black robe appeared.

The first-level wizard who brought him in hurriedly went to greet him and said with a smile, "Vic, I have long heard that you have settled in the Floating City, but I have been too busy with official duties to have the opportunity to visit you."

Is that knight your squire?

Loken met Vic's gaze, hurriedly walked over, knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and remained silent.

Vic's mind was incredibly deep.

The ring he gave to Loken earlier was not only a test of his competence, but also a test of his loyalty.

Obviously.

This person is qualified to be his attendant.

Vic remained calm, took out a sleight of hand ring to the first-level wizard, and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

The first-level wizard is none other than...

It was Luke, an old friend from the academy who had asked Vic for a favor years ago.

but.

He dared not easily accept Vic's gift and hurriedly declined, saying, "Alas, this matter is still my responsibility. Vic, you are being too polite."

The token you gave to the knight was stolen.

"This is a mismanagement on the part of the committee. I will investigate this matter thoroughly when I get back and give you an explanation."

"Rob?"

Vic uttered a single word in a flat and unremarkable manner.

Luke and Loken both shuddered slightly.

The latter immediately knelt down, begging for forgiveness, and said, "Lord Vic, it was my fault for incompetence! I was new here and unaware of the situation."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Vic waved to indicate that he didn't need to explain.

Luke felt bitter at this moment.

Back then, he and Vic were among the least talented students at Black Tower Academy.

Although so many years have passed and he has made great achievements in the glorious old land, and has already served as an assistant to the committee member of the purge committee, compared with Vic...

They are still worlds apart.

He just stepped aside to avoid responsibility because he was afraid Vic would pursue the matter.

They came from the same background, and he knew Vic's character very well.

If it's up to him to handle it.

I suspect it's about robbing the token.

Difficult to do well.
