Chapter 214: Agreed
‘Wody’ followed the Sibei Family’s servant to a hall, where many people were already seated.
Six formal wizards, one late-stage first-circle.
His gaze quickly swept over the people in the room, and Karl already had a good idea of the situation.
Although this wizard family had been around for over two hundred years, the cultivation levels of its members were generally not very high.
After all, they were known for building wizard towers, so it was understandable that their cultivation was not as good as other wizard families.
Rune crafting and cultivation, one could not have both.
Of course,
it was also possible that other wizards in the family hadn’t come, but according to his investigation, the situation was about the same.
“Young man.”
The clan leader had a kind expression:
“You want to build a second-order wizard tower?”
“That’s right.” Karl nodded:
“I hope Mr. ‘Gai’ of the Sibei Family will come with me, and I am willing to pay a generous reward for this.”
“Humph!” A plump female wizard in the room snorted coldly:
“You’re just a small, late-stage wizard apprentice, what ability do you have to gather the materials needed for a second-order wizard tower?”
“Don’t even mention second-order, can you even do first-order?”
“Don’t say that.” The clan leader gently waved his hand, his attitude humble:
“Young man, you may be acting on behalf of someone else, but it’s not easy to hire our family to build a wizard tower.”
“You need to prove that you have the ability.”
“Of course.” Karl shrugged, took off a pendant hanging from his waist, and tossed it to the other party:
“This is a deposit, the rest will be paid when the wizard tower is completed.”
Oh!
The clan leader raised an eyebrow, and after examining the pendant with his mental power, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
“Not bad!”
“Now I believe you have enough sincerity, but just this isn’t enough to move me.”
“There are only a few forces in the entire Magic Forest that can build second-order wizard towers, and nearby, only our Sibei Family can do it, and building a second-order wizard tower requires even more effort.”
He put the item aside and gently shook his head:
“This is far from enough!”
Karl frowned.
He lacked an understanding of the market price for building a second-order wizard tower, and in reality, very few people understood it.
Second-order wizard towers were too rare, lacking a reference point.
“If the person behind you really wants to build a second-order wizard tower, they still need to pay a price.” Seeing the change in his expression, the clan leader continued:
“But this matter isn’t urgent, you can go back and discuss it slowly.”
“No need!” Karl took a deep breath, shook his head, and once again took out a spatial item from his body:
“What about adding these, should that be enough?”
“Clap!”
The clan leader took the item, and after scanning it with his mental power, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he almost lost control of his expression.
He had struck gold!
This person actually had so many good things on him?
With these resources, their own second-order wizard tower could also be built faster.
“Refreshing!”
He shouted loudly and said, “The Sibei Family will take this job.”
“Clan leader!” One person’s expression changed drastically, and he stood up urgently:
“Building a second-order wizard tower isn’t that easy, and our schedule is very tight right now, I doubt we can free up the time.”
“No need to say more.” The clan leader waved his hand and gestured to a person behind him:
“Call Paul over.”
“Yes.”
Not long after.
A young man with a wooden expression was led into the room.
“Paul is an outstanding member of our family’s younger generation, and he has his own unique insights into building wizard towers.” The clan leader introduced with a smile:
“He will go back with you to build the wizard tower.”
“Clan leader!” Before Karl could speak, Paul, who had a blank expression, already had a look of wild joy on his face and said urgently:
“Can I build a wizard tower for someone else now?”
“What does that mean?” Karl said calmly:
“Is the Sibei Family trying to fob me off with a junior who has never built a wizard tower before?”
“Don’t say that.” The clan leader shook his head:
“Paul has a high talent, not only for building wizard towers, but also for barriers and spatial magic.”
“Besides, as long as someone can build a wizard tower, why care about age or experience?”
“Young man, you yourself aren’t very old, aren’t you also acting on behalf of the person behind you?”
“Heh…” Karl chuckled:
“So, the Sibei Family is planning to take my things? That’s not in accordance with the rules.”
The clan leader narrowed his eyes.
He was planning to take the items, so that he could not only get a large amount of resources but also please the Six Rings Tower, which was a win-win situation, but the other party’s reaction was different from what he had expected. There was no impulsiveness or anger, but rather a hint of mockery, as if his actions were expected.
Something was wrong!
Why was the other party so calm?
“What if we do?”
A young man standing below raised his eyebrows, his face showing disdain:
“You’re just a mere senior wizard apprentice, if you don’t want to die, then scram, do you really think that just because you’re handsome, people will give you face?”
He seemed to really hate ‘Wody’s’ face.
“Hmm…” Karl tilted his head:
“When adults are talking, do you have a right to interrupt?”
He raised his hand.
Thousand Buddha Hands—Thunder Seal!
Hundred Hand Realm!
An invisible force exploded, turning into a blinding thunder light, and struck heavily toward the young man.
Not good!
“Jeff, be careful!”
The female wizard who had spoken earlier flashed to the young man’s side, and the staff in her hand lit up.
“Boom!”
The entire hall trembled, and two charred black figures fell heavily to the ground, shattering into several pieces.
***
They were dead!
A formal wizard and a senior wizard apprentice, two people valued by the family, had died just like that.
“Ah!”
“I’ll kill you!”
“Attack!”
Anger accumulated in the hearts of everyone in the room, and various magical auras flickered. One of them even activated a nearby wizard tower.
The Sibei Family was known for building wizard towers, how could they not have their own wizard towers?
Not only did they have one.
They had more than one!
“Heh…”
Faced with the crowd’s siege, Karl just smiled indifferently, and then his body transformed into a bolt of lightning and pounced forward.
Self-Detonation Lightning Attraction Technique!
This was a technique from the Unreal City, which could turn oneself into an anchor to attract lightning, launching a suicide attack.
It was also a helpless choice for the cultivators of the Unreal City when facing evil creatures.
“Boom!”
A winding bolt of lightning tore through the void, smashed through the roof, and landed on ‘Wody’s’ body.
In the next instant.
The entire hall suddenly lit up, and the blinding light not only made people blind but also distorted their senses.
When everything returned to calm, the huge space had turned into a mess.
‘Wody’ was naturally reduced to ashes, and two of the Sibei Family’s formal wizards had also died on the spot.
Those who had not died were also seriously injured, including the clan leader who had the strength of a late-stage first-circle wizard.
On the other hand, Paul, who had a blank expression, had escaped unscathed due to his position, his eyes dull and stiff.
“Damn it!”
Looking at the situation in the room, the clan leader gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling:
“This guy…”
“Clan leader!”
Just then, someone shouted as they rushed in from outside:
“Someone wants us to build a wizard tower, he… he forced his way in.”
Huh?
Before he could finish speaking, the person was stunned by the scene in front of him.
“Good!”
The clan leader’s body trembled:
“Are we, the Sibei Family, made of mud? Can anyone come and bully us?”
“Activate the wizard towers!”
“I’m going to…”
“Everyone, we meet again.” Before he could finish speaking, he heard a strange yet familiar voice.
Strange,
because he had never heard it before.
Familiar,
because of the tone in the voice.
Just a moment ago, that casual, mocking tone.
A middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance walked in. He acted as if he didn’t see the mess on the floor, and said:
“I wonder if Mr. ‘Gai’ has time now, the second-order wizard tower I need is urgently needed.”
“It’s you!” The clan leader’s eyes narrowed:
“Soul Possession Technique?”
“That’s right.” Karl raised an eyebrow:
“You have some insight, if the clan leader is interested, I can come a few more times, until you agree.”
“After all…”
“You’ve already accepted my deposit.”
The clan leader’s face was livid, as if he had eaten a fly. His fingers twitched, but in the end, he did not choose to attack.
Since the other party could control other people’s bodies to launch suicide attacks, then he was not afraid of attacking him.
And he,
would never know which of the visitors was the person the other party had possessed.
Once offended,
the entire family would fall into endless despair and fear.
“Good methods!”
Gritting his teeth, the clan leader said in a muffled voice:
“Mr. Connie has good methods, no wonder he was able to make the people of the Six Rings Tower helpless. I agree to build the wizard tower.”
“Good!”
Karl nodded with a smile.
He wasn’t surprised by this, wizard families were both the foundation of their strength and also the weakness of some people.
“When do we leave?”
“Right away!”
The clan leader winked at his younger brother, ‘Gai’:
“Go quickly and come back quickly.”
“Clan leader.” Paul, who was still dazed, said:
“Then am I still going?”
“Scram!” The clan leader’s body trembled with anger:
“You get out of here!”
