Chapter 344: Trade
Bartholomew, who had lost both hands and legs, collapsed in a pool of blood, letting out a weak whimper.
Not far from him, the Hundred-Faced Demon, over three meters tall and exuding an aura of terror, squatted obediently on the ground.
Lynn stood beside the Hundred-Faced Demon, withdrawing his detection magic.
“The refining of the Hundred-Faced Demon requires the stimulation of fear and madness deep within the human heart, so it lacks reason.”
Magi, with her white hair and white clothes, approached slowly, saying in a measured tone:
“The negative emotions of hundreds of people are stimulated by magic and fused with the bloodline of an ancient giant, resulting in such great power.”
“The chaotic consciousness is condensed into a whole. In this situation, trying to restore your friend’s rationality is like trying to extract impurities from gold that has been hammered thousands of times. I’m afraid it will be very difficult.”
“I still have to try.” Lynn pointed at Bartholomew on the ground and said:
“If what he said is true, there is still a chance.”
“There is!”
“Absolutely there is!”
Bartholomew shouted hurriedly:
“My mentor is an expert in this area. He’s the one who made the Hundred-Faced Demon obey my orders.”
With his strength, he could not control a first-order Hundred-Faced Demon. Even if he could, there was a high chance of a backlash.
So, he wasn’t lying.
He also knew that lying in front of a wizard was tantamount to courting death.
“Heh…” Magi smiled, looking at Lynn:
“You are really good to your friend, or is it that… you have another relationship with this girl named Susan?”
“We studied together for many years, of course we have feelings,” Lynn said slowly, looking at Susan’s face on the Hundred-Faced Demon:
“Besides, I owe her money.”
“Owe money?” Magi’s beautiful eyes flickered:
“How much?”
“One magic stone.”
?
Magi rolled her eyes, speechless.
“Sorry,” Lynn said:
“I need to trouble you this time.”
He needed to obtain the refining method of the Hundred-Faced Demon from the Skin Wizard Carpenter to help Susan regain consciousness.
Lynn had just advanced to a wizard and was not familiar with the wizards of the three major forces, so he could only ask for help from someone to mediate.
“It’s okay,” Magi waved her hand:
“Actually, I think this is very good. Few wizards are willing to go to this extent for their friends.”
“No!”
“I feel that wizards, having lived for so long, don’t have true friends, only intertwined interests.”
“This feeling is good.”
She put her hands behind her back and sighed softly:
“You can be so devoted to your friends from your wizard apprentice days. I am also willing to be your friend, so I don’t have to worry about betrayal in the future.”
Friend?
Lynn smiled.
This time, he had sought help from several wizards, but only Magi had agreed to help, winning his friendship.
“They’re here!”
Without knowing when, a faint mist spread out, and faint footsteps slowly approached.
“Lynn?”
The Skin Wizard Carpenter walked out of the mist, his cold eyes on his deathly pale face.
He looked at Lynn, a cold smile on his face:
“A genius who dies young is never a genius. A sixteen-year-old wizard only represents future potential.”
“Carpenter,” Magi stepped forward, before Lynn could speak, and shouted:
“Your disciple set a trap to intercept and kill wizard apprentices from other forces. He said it was under your instructions.”
“What do you have to say?”
“Hmph!” Only then did the Skin Wizard Carpenter shift his gaze to his disciple, and snorted coldly:
“Useless trash!”
“Carpenter,” Lynn said slowly:
“If this matter reaches the second-circle wizards, even you will be severely punished, so…”
“Why don’t we make a trade?”
“Trade?” The Skin Wizard Carpenter’s eyes flickered:
“What trade?”
“My friend was refined into a Hundred-Faced Demon by you. You help her regain her rationality, and we’ll let this matter go.” Lynn flicked his sleeve, throwing Bartholomew, who had lost his hands and legs, in front of the other party:
“To show my sincerity, he’s yours.”
“Hmm.” The Skin Wizard Carpenter lowered his head, looking at his disciple.
“Mentor.”
Bartholomew’s voice trembled:
“I… I have already tried my best.”
“You should know very well that I only look at the results, not the process.” The Skin Wizard Carpenter’s voice was icy:
“So…”
◈◈◈
“Go to hell!”
“Swish!”
A black shadow emerged from his eye socket, drilling into Bartholomew’s body, immediately followed by a large amount of blood.
In the blink of an eye.
There was only a human skin left on the ground.
“Killing to silence him?” Magi shook her head upon seeing this:
“You don’t think that killing him will end this matter, do you?”
“I recorded the whole process of you killing him, as well as the evidence left by your disciple.”
“Is that so?” The Skin Wizard Carpenter was expressionless:
“Evidence is only useful if it’s handed over.”
“What?” Magi was stunned.
“Be careful!”
Lynn suddenly spoke, waving his staff, and layers of flame shields appeared around them.
“Pfft!”
“Pfft pfft!”
A phantom appeared out of nowhere, and the flame shields shattered like paper in front of it.
Fortunately, this gave them a chance to catch their breath, enough for Magi to regain her senses. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the phantom.
Petrification Technique!
The phantom instantly stiffened, petrified, and fell to the ground as a thin stone shard.
Human skin!
“Carpenter.”
Magi’s face was grim, her eyes full of disbelief:
“You’re insane!”
She was one of the most promising wizards in the Viper Academy to become a second-circle wizard, and a disciple of a certain second-circle wizard.
Although Lynn had just advanced, he also had great potential.
Before coming, the two had thought that the other party would be tough, but they had not expected that the Skin Wizard Carpenter would actually dare to kill.
How could he dare?
How could he?
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly,
a ball of flames attacked from behind.

Academy Headquarters.
Gloria, the Shadow Wizard above the suspended wizard tower, suddenly opened her eyes, looking towards the distance with a puzzled expression.
“Demons?”
“So many demons!”
Although there were many demons, she didn’t take them seriously.
Being inside the wizard tower, she was not afraid even if a third-order demon appeared. On the contrary, she could take the opportunity to slaughter the demons and collect a large number of demon corpses.
But something was wrong.
With so many demons restless, it was highly likely that the wizards of the Abyss Cabin had secretly done something.
“What’s going on?”
Gloria slowly straightened her body:
“Facing the encirclement of three forces, the wizards of the Abyss Cabin actually dare to counterattack. Have they been blinded by the Abyss?”
“Demons are attacking, everyone be prepared!”
Her voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire base, and the magic traps around the base began to flicker.
In a certain house.
Charles stood with his hands behind his back in front of the window, his eyes flickering with a faint light, reflecting the swarm of demons rushing towards them in his eyes.
“The opportunity has come.”
He waved his hand towards Claude behind him:
“Go!”
“Capture the wizard apprentice named Isaiah, and use her to lure Lynn to the depths of the Abyssal Rift.”
“Didn’t Caesar always want to meet Lynn? He will be able to meet him soon.”
At this time, he was obviously not aware that the two people he was talking about had already met.
