Wizard Immortality

Chapter 11 Mission
Two days later.

Intermediary agency.

Vic sat at a bank teller-style window.

The person who reviewed the qualifications was an elderly woman with heavy makeup.

"Vic, you are a student of the August 733 class. According to the normal review process, your qualifications do not meet our requirements.

But Lady Shirley told me that you once helped her on a mission and that you have a lot of practical experience. Is that true?"

While talking.

The old woman kept staring into Vic's eyes, trying to find some flaws.

But Vic's expression didn't change.

"Is such that."

The old woman hesitated, but finally stamped the certificate of qualification and said, "Well, I wish you a happy adventure, Mr. Vick."

Obtain the qualification certificate issued by Black Tower Academy.

Vic then went to look for assignments in the lobby of the agency.

An apprentice-level alchemy ring costs about 0.7 soul stones, and its market price will not be lower than two soul stones.

In his previous life, Vic was proficient in dozens of subjects of alchemy.

He himself is also a sixth-level alchemist, skilled in making various potions and auxiliary props used by sixth-level wizards, and has the level of a fourth-level alchemist in golem making.

Making an apprentice-level alchemy ring is easy.

With only some start-up capital, he could complete the initial accumulation by mass-producing apprentice-level alchemy rings with simple processes.

According to his plan.

This start-up capital requires three soul stones.

There are not many tasks in the agency hall, and the rewards are generally generous, but the vast majority of tasks clearly require the assisting party to be a wizard apprentice.

All the tasks that can appear in the intermediary hall have been strictly reviewed by the academy. It is rare that some wizards conceal the difficulty of the task and deceive their assistants into death in order to save rewards.

Think again and again.

Vic finally gave up the private mission and chose an outsourced task assigned by the college officials.

He made this decision after careful consideration.

The dangers of private missions are described very vaguely, there is a lot of uncertainty during the mission, and the personal character of the employer is also questionable and the human heart is unpredictable.

The overall safety factor is too low.

Most importantly, the remuneration and benefits are not adequate.

Outsourced tasks assigned by the official background of the college are different.

There are powerful and senior apprentices in charge.

The rewards are great.

Moreover, the risks that need to be taken during the mission are described very clearly.

The mission location is located 150 kilometers north of the academy, at the newly discovered Secret Fire Silver Mine.

The tasks are not complicated.

As a guard knight, Vic needs to stay there for a month to assist the wizard, clean out the ogres living in the underground caves, and deal with possible foreign enemies.

One month’s reward is exactly three soul stones.

In addition, there are many benefits to guarding the mine.

If the senior apprentice in charge of the mine is proficient in alchemy, in most cases the academy will turn a blind eye to illegal mining as long as the exploitation is not too excessive.

It is understandable that the escorting knights occasionally take away some raw ore.

but.

Such a lucrative job requires outsourcing recruitment through an intermediary agency, and the risk factor is not low.

Vic is not sure how many other wizarding organizations and forces there are in the area surrounding the Black Tower Wizarding Academy, but he is sure of it.

There must be other forces fighting for that secret fire silver mine.

Vic knows that time is precious.

Therefore, every decision he makes after his rebirth is a race against the time curse.

Although working in the Secret Fire Silver Mine involves risks, the benefits are huge, and some of the materials for making alchemy rings can be obtained locally. These resources can help him quickly complete the initial accumulation and add reserves for the next promotion to senior apprentice.

and.

Now that Vic is an apprentice wizard, the spiritual magnetic field constructed by his knowledge system can protect him from direct harm from witchcraft.

In his previous life, he had extensive combat experience.

Even if you encounter wizards from hostile forces in the mines, you will be able to fight them.

In the wizarding world.

The spiritual magnetic field is the only boundary that distinguishes mortals from wizards.

Once a person's spiritual body has established a spiritual magnetic field, no witchcraft can use another wizard's body and spirit as casting materials.

This is one of the cardinal rules of the wizarding world.

Even a seventh-level wizard would be unable to overcome a wizard apprentice.

Mortals and knights are not protected by the spiritual magnetic field.

Vic can easily use the flesh of mortals as the material for casting fire witchcraft and burn it to ashes. Some wizards who are good at controlling liquids can even drain all the water in a mortal's body in an instant.

Vic doesn't care if he has to go it alone or lie low.

He only cares about efficiency and results.

but.

Black Tower Academy is not a charity.

It is difficult for a knight of average strength to take on this task.

Vic had a senior apprentice, Shirley Finn, to endorse him. Although he was young, the agency believed that he was strong and experienced, so only some simple inquiries and reviews were required to successfully take on the task.

After Vic took on the task, he waited in the academy for another week because there were not enough people.

A week later.

Fine weather.

The cold mist was thin and the air was bitterly chilly.

A fully equipped convoy drove out of Black Tower Academy.

The team was led by a senior apprentice with outstanding strength named Brody, and he was accompanied by two wizard apprentices and ten guard knights.

Vic was on horseback.

He was wearing a cheap second-hand leather armor and had a cross sword with a freshly sharpened blade slung over his back.

He found these equipments in the abandoned warehouse of the academy for the sake of appearance. After all, he was a knight now and it was impossible for him to go out empty-handed.

The journey was boring.

Vic was also happy to have some free time. He learned knowledge every day, accumulated strength, and deepened his knowledge structure of fire witchcraft.

After all, they are not young people who have just left their hometown. They are young and innocent, can talk about anything along the way, and it is easy for them to build friendships and trust.

Besides, it was a temporary team, and everyone was very wary of each other and hardly spoke to each other.

A few days later in the early morning.

The team arrived at the mine.

After the senior apprentice who led the team handed over his work to the stationed wizard apprentice, he began to arrange the work of the guard knights.

Among the many senior apprentices in the Black Tower Academy, Brody is one of the older ones. Although his talent is limited, he has rich practical experience and can perfectly perform the work of being stationed abroad.

Maybe I will never be able to be promoted to a first-level wizard in this lifetime.

Brody's personal image management can only be described as terrible.

Bald, greasy face, and bad temper.

"You two, each take five guard knights and go to the underground caves to clean up. I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning and hear the barking of dogs coming from underground.

After the cleanup, the same configuration was used, with each person on duty for one day and taking turns to rest.

If you encounter any troubles that you can’t handle, remember to come to me.”

Arrange jobs for the two wizard apprentices.

Brody returned to his cabin and ignored everyone.
