Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 164

Chapter 164: A Four-Person Group

After circling the market, the four-person group gathered again, the atmosphere becoming somewhat oppressive.

“Angley.”

Luya opened her mouth, saying:

“I think, we should still go to that ruin, just the floating stones we saw on the periphery are enough for us to make a killing.”

“You saw it too, with the magic stones we have now, we can’t buy Green Potion at all.”

“It’s too dangerous.” Angley was the leader of the four-person team, and also the only Senior Wizard Apprentice.

His body had been burned by fire, not only was his face ugly, but his voice was also hoarse, so most of the external communication was done by Luya.

“There are specters haunting the ruins, they are the nemesis of knights, and even wizards don’t have many ways to deal with them.”

“I think…” Angley advocated for caution:

“We should put it off for now.”

“Big Brother.” Ashur shook his head:

“The ruins haven’t been discovered by anyone else yet, we can get a head start, but if someone else discovers it…”

“I’m afraid there won’t be anything left for us!”

“As long as you advance to a Formal Wizard, all the investment will be rewarded.”

Grey didn’t say anything.

She had only joined the team recently, and her relationship with the other three wasn’t as close, and she was a newly promoted Grand Knight.

Going to the ruins,

is too dangerous for a knight!

“I agree with Ashur.” Luya spoke:

“That’s a ruin that hasn’t been discovered by anyone, many people can’t get this kind of opportunity in their whole lives, if we miss it, we’ll definitely regret it.”

“Angley, don’t you want to get the Green Potion?”

“What if there are materials containing the Source inside, Ashur and Grey will also have the chance to become Legendary Knights!”

This time, Grey’s eyes moved slightly.

Becoming a Legend was the dream of every knight, not only an increase in strength, but also an extension of lifespan.

Who wouldn’t want to live a hundred years longer?

It’s just that compared to a Wizard Apprentice advancing to a Wizard, the difficulty for a Grand Knight to become a Legendary Knight is too great.

“What do you think?”

Angley looked at the others, two of the three had firm attitudes, while Grey was undecided.

“Then let’s do it!”

Gritting his teeth, he made an arrangement:

“Since we’ve decided to explore the ruins, let’s make full preparations, especially for items that can restrain specters.”

“Soul-Driving Powder, Light Runes…”

“These things aren’t cheap, we still have forty magic stones we can use, I’ll add ten more magic stones.”

…………

The four split into two groups to make purchases, Luya led Grey, turning east and west in the market, and with the other party’s surprised gaze, knocked on a door. After entering, she respectfully spoke to the wizard in the room:

“Respected Wizard, I hope to borrow some magic stones from you.”

“Luya!”

Grey was shocked, and grabbed her:

“You’re crazy!”

“I’m not crazy.” Luya frowned:

“We don’t have enough magic stones, do you have another way?”

Fifty magic stones was already a lot, but for this operation, it still seemed a bit tight.

A small packet of Soul-Driving Powder cost one magic stone, after estimating, they needed at least twenty packets.

Runes were even more expensive.

“Oh!”

The wizard in the room raised his eyebrows, and walked out of the dark corner, revealing a body like a dried corpse.

“So it’s the lovely Luya, I like your original body, not modified by disgusting bloodline magic.”

“A loan?”

“How much do you want to borrow?”

“Fifty magic stones!” Luya gritted her teeth:

“I’ll pay you back within three months.”

“Fifty magic stones?” The wizard grinned and chuckled:

“You know the rules, if you can’t pay back the magic stones by then, your body and soul will belong to me.”

“I know.” Luya took a deep breath:

“I will pay it back then.”

“I hope you won’t.” The wizard paced closer, a rotten, sour smell wafted over.

He leaned close to Luya, sniffing her body, his withered yellow hair swaying back and forth, and whispered:

“For a Middle Wizard Apprentice, fifty is a huge sum, maybe you should pay some extra price to take it from me.”

“Price?” Luya’s face paled:

“What price?”

“I’m old, but I’m still a man.” The wizard said:

“When I meet a pure girl, my heart will also stir, so… she stays for one night.”

Saying that.

He pointed at Grey.

The pure girl he spoke of was not the alluring Luya, but the slender Grey.

Luya’s beautiful eyes flickered, and she subconsciously looked at Grey, only to see her companion’s face pale and shaking her head repeatedly.

Fifty magic stones!

Luya gritted her teeth, and suddenly grabbed Grey’s arm:

“Let’s go!”

“Bang!”

The two women pushed open the door and ran towards the street outside, Luya looked panicked and kept looking back.

“Luya!”

Grey’s voice was tearful:

“Thank you!”

For a moment, she thought Luya would sell her out, if she really had to spend a night with that disgusting wizard, she would rather die.

“Thank you for what?” Luya shook her head:

“It’s me who dragged you into this, now is not the time to say this, that madman might not let us go.”

Fighting was prohibited in the market, but as far as she knew, some hidden methods would not trigger the rules here, and ever since leaving that room, she had felt a cold aura following closely behind.

Unless…

“Into the shop!”

Every shop had its own owner, that madman wouldn’t dare to provoke other wizards casually.

The two women rushed into a shop, their bodies immediately stiffening.

“Oh!”

Karl, who was cleaning the house, raised his eyebrows and looked at the two women:

“What’s wrong?”

“Did you bring the floating stones so soon?”

“No, it’s not.” Luya smiled awkwardly when she heard this, and after thinking about it, she suddenly bit her lip and said:

“Respected Wizard, we have a way to get the floating stones you need, but we need some support.”

“If you can provide support, we can sell you the floating stones at the lowest price.”

“Heh…” Karl understood:

“You want to borrow money from me? And you want to use future uncertain profits as collateral?”

“…” Luya gave a dry laugh:

“We will get the floating stones, and I can sign a contract with you, witnessed in the name of a god.”

“Interesting.” Karl narrowed his eyes:

“For a wizard, provoking a god is not a wise choice, even if it’s the God of Contracts.”

“You reminded me!”

He touched his chin, took out a piece of magic paper from his storage magic item, and with a thought, lines of text appeared on it.

At the end of the text was a Taiji symbol.

God,

he is also one!

This is a good opportunity for an experiment.

“Sign it, and I can lend you one hundred magic stones.”

Luya’s eyes lit up, she stepped forward and took the magic paper, the dense text on it made her frown.

The commercial structure of the Magic Forest was still very primitive, far inferior to the Eastern Kingdom Continent, which had already developed capital.

Moreover,

Karl’s memory contained even more complete commercial contracts.

“One hundred magic stones, if you don’t pay it back by the agreed time, everything you have will belong to me.”

“Remember.”

Karl’s voice became serious:

“It’s everything you own!”

“Half a year, with an interest of twenty magic stones?” Luya finally understood the contents of the contract, and her eyes flickered slightly:

“The interest isn’t high.”

It really wasn’t high.

It was almost half as low as other places.

“I’ll sign!”

“No.”

Karl waved his hand:

“It’s the two of you, and don’t use a pen, sign your names with your blood.”

Grey’s hands tightened, she looked at her companion’s complicated expression, and nodded sharply, stepping forward and saying:

“I’ll sign too!”

“Good.” Seeing the two of them sign their names one after another, a smile appeared on Karl’s face:

“As a party to the agreement, I should let you be undisturbed here.”

“So…”

“Scram!”

He opened his eyes wide, glaring angrily at a corner of the room, his substantial mental power turning into thunder and piercing out.

“Screech!”

The air in the corner vibrated, and a phantom figure quickly darted out.

Luya and Grey felt a sense of relief, and the aura that had been clinging to them disappeared.

“It seems like you have some trouble.”

Karl shrugged:

“I hope my investment won’t fail.”

Saying that, he took out one hundred magic stones and placed them on the table, and at the same time took the contract and put it into the Divine Domain Fragment.

The next moment.

***

Two faint auras appeared in his ‘Perception’.

There’s a way!

Although not as good as a devout believer, who can freely flip through the other party’s memories, he could still do a certain degree of spying.

*

For Karl’s Concentrated Life Potion, almost all of Rapid Flow City’s hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized.

Materials, the Other World has them.

The key is that some of the materials are very rare, a few plants, a few portions can be found, but it’s difficult to purchase them in large quantities.

Fortunately, it was only to supply Karl alone, even if the quantity was small, as long as they could continuously collect them, it was acceptable.

On the other side.

Old Brin also brought news.

“A wizard who was not convenient to disclose his name contacted me privately, hoping someone could help him kill his enemy.”

“As thanks, he offered his half-finished wizard tower as a reward.”

“That wizard tower has a Star Disk and a complete tower base, inscribed with two control-type wizardries.”

“Enemy?” Karl asked:

“What is their strength?”

“A Middle First-Circle Wizard.” Old Brin replied:

“Don’t worry, although he is a Middle First-Circle, the target hasn’t fought with anyone in almost twenty years, and lacks vigilance, with your strength, if you attack suddenly, there’s a good chance you’ll succeed.”

“Hmm?” Karl raised an eyebrow:

“You think highly of me.”

“It’s because I lost my eyes, that I can see more clearly.” Old Brin chuckled:

“Your body has an astonishing life aura, this is the mark of a ‘Legendary Knight’.”

“Impressive.” Karl praised:

“But even if I am a Legendary Knight, it’s still too risky to deal with a Middle First-Circle Wizard.”

“You can find helpers.” Old Brin suggested:

“With the Six Rings Tower’s network, it shouldn’t be difficult to find one or two wizards to help, or spend some magic stones to find an assassin…”

“That’s a wizard tower!”

A complete tower base and Star Disk, if he can get the Eye of Insight, it would be equivalent to getting the most basic wizard tower.

It would be worth spending a few thousand magic stones for that.

“Forget it.”

After considering for a moment, Karl ultimately decided to give up:

“My heart is kind, I can’t bring myself to kill someone for no reason, you should look for other ways.”

?

Old Brin was speechless.

What he ‘saw’ in Karl was not just life energy, but also a substantial killing intent.

This was a killing intent that could only be obtained by killing countless people, and now you’re telling me you can’t bring yourself to kill someone?

“Alright then!”

Sighing, knowing that he couldn’t force it, Old Brin nodded:

“I’ll ask around for you.”

“Thank you.”

Karl got up to say goodbye, and as soon as he returned to his shop, his expression changed, and he flashed into the Divine Domain Fragment.

In his perception, the aura that belonged to Luya suddenly became very weak.

With a thought, his consciousness, with the help of the Divine Domain Fragment, landed on Grey, and a scene from a certain place was reflected in his eyes.

…………

The ruins.

The four-person team stood back-to-back, looking nervously at the enemies gathering from all directions.

The area around them was a mess, obviously they had encountered a fierce attack.

Luya and Ashur were covered in blood, relying on their companions to support them to barely stand.

“Hall!”

Angley looked at the young man who appeared in front of him, looking surprised:

“Why are you here?”

They had discovered this ruin by chance, and judging from the surrounding situation, no outsiders had been here.

Now, they had just entered to explore, and they were ambushed, and the person who attacked them was someone they knew.

There’s a traitor!

A thought flashed through Angley’s mind, and he subconsciously looked at his three companions, especially Grey, who had recently joined the team.

“It wasn’t me!”

Grey gritted her teeth:

“I have never mentioned the ruins to anyone else.”

“Haha…” Hall laughed:

“I thought it was just a joke, I didn’t expect there really was a ruin that hadn’t been discovered.”

“Ashur, thanks to you!”

Ashur?

Angley’s expression changed drastically, and Luya and Grey retreated hastily, isolating Ashur.

“It wasn’t me!” Ashur’s face was pale, and he roared loudly at the other party:

“Hall, I haven’t seen you at all during this time!”

“I believe you.” Angley said in a muffled voice:

“We’ve been adventuring together for so many years, I don’t believe anyone would betray us, don’t fall for his tricks.”

“Big Brother!” Ashur was agitated, and then glared at Hall:

“Bastard, how did you find this place?”

“Tsk tsk…” The young man named Hall shook his head and clicked his tongue, looking very emotional:

“What deep friendship, you still trust each other like this, but Ashur… your taste in wives is not as good as your taste in friends.”

“Lina?” Ashur’s face stiffened.

“Yes.” Hall put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked out:

“Your beloved wife told me this secret in my bed, I thought it was a joke…”

“I didn’t expect it!”

“Ashur!”

He looked at Ashur, looking sincere:

“I should really thank you, not only did you raise my son for so many years, but you also told me such a big secret, after I become a Formal Wizard and a pillar of my family, I will definitely commemorate you.”

“Son?” Ashur’s body swayed, his face was pale, and his eyes were filled with despair.

“Of course!” Hall shrugged:

“You and Lina don’t have any wizard talent, the probability of giving birth to a son with wizard talent is extremely low.”

“But I’m different.”

“My ancestors had a Third-Circle Wizard, with a powerful bloodline, even if the bloodline is thin now, the probability of giving birth to a son with wizard talent is still high.”

“Ashur!” Angley shouted softly:

“Don’t listen to his nonsense, he’s deliberately trying to anger you.”

“Deliberately?” Hall laughed:

“Ashur, you should know whether what I’m saying is true or false, but it’s a pity that you’ve never been able to see clearly.”

“…”

Ashur gritted his teeth.

Of course he knew!

His wife’s impatience when facing him every day, the inconsistency in his son’s appearance, and various unusual details in life flashed through his mind.

He thought he wasn’t doing enough, so he worked hard to cultivate, to earn money, just to improve his family’s conditions and his relationship with his wife.

In order to earn magic stones for his son’s future cultivation, besides going out with Angley to hunt magical beasts, he would also take on odd jobs to supplement his family income.

To reassure his wife, he even told her about the ruins, just to let his wife understand that he was about to get rich, and that his family would no longer have to suffer.

As a result…

“Ah!”

Unwillingness, anger, and despair filled Ashur’s heart, and he roared to the sky, charging towards Hall with his sword.

“Die!”

“Die!”

“Hmph!” Hall sneered, and with a wave of his hand:

“Kill him!”

“Swish!”

As soon as he finished speaking, several Wizard Apprentices around him attacked at the same time, and streams of wizardry flew out one after another.

In just an instant, Ashur, who had a defensive magic item and was wearing sturdy soft armor, was pierced through with countless holes.

His body stiffened, his vitality extinguished, he was still glaring at Hall, and with all his strength, he roared:

“Let’s die together!”

“Boom!”

Ashur’s body suddenly exploded, a dense life aura erupted, and it also attracted the specters wandering in the ruins.

“Damn it!”

Hall’s expression changed.

For some reason, there were many specters around this ruin, some of which could even threaten Formal Wizards.

Fortunately, the specters had no intelligence, and were just wandering around nearby according to their instincts, but they would quickly come when attracted by a life aura.

Sure enough.

“Woo…”

Accompanied by the whistling of the cold wind, phantom figures appeared one after another, pouncing on Ashur’s corpse, devouring the escaping life energy.

But there were too many specters coming, and the life energy was relatively limited, so the other specters naturally turned their attention to the others in the field.

“Go!”

Angley suppressed the grief in his eyes, and waved to the two women:

“Take advantage of now, let’s go!”

…………

The connection was broken, and Karl shook his head lightly.

Because of Hall’s obstruction, Angley and the other two could only escape into the depths of the ruins, and the outcome was likely to be grim.

“If a person who signed a contract is injured, it will cause the connection to the Divine Domain Fragment to be interrupted…”

“That man named Ashur was really miserable!”

“It seems like my one hundred magic stones are likely to be wasted.”
