Wizard Immortality

Chapter 12: No need to use your brain, you will be a knight forever
The wizard apprentice in charge of Vic is a girl named Amiya Vergara.

He is about the same age as Vic.

Long, slightly curly black hair, as smooth as silk.

The facial features are small but delicate.

Wheat-colored skin is very healthy.

He always smiles when he speaks and is very friendly.

".That's all the details. Just follow me when the time comes. I will protect your safety."

After finishing speaking.

Amiya smiled at everyone, then turned and walked towards the entrance to the underground cave in the mine.

Because of this smile.

A young knight standing next to Vic suddenly developed a lot of good feelings in his heart, which could be seen from his slightly absent-minded expression.

He seemed to take this seriously.

The middle-aged knight standing on the other side of him also noticed the guy's expression and snorted coldly, but said nothing.

They owe nothing to each other.

Life or death has nothing to do with me.

Vic has seen countless people.

Although the young apprentice named Amiya Vergara always appeared to be very friendly, the expression in her eyes was not deceptive.

indifferent.

Even, a little cruel.

On the way, Vic noticed that the girl was carrying a tool bag filled with various surgical instruments.

Not surprisingly, this is something that only wizards who specialize in the realm of life and death would need.

Vic hasn't done much research in the field of life and death, and he only dabbled in it in his previous life, but these guys who like human body modification and inherit the bloodline wizard school.

There are very few sentimental people.

At least, in his memory, those wizards who were powerful in the realm of life and death were more or less different from ordinary people in spirit.

This phenomenon also has specialized research in the field of life and death.

Because some knowledge does not have energy, Vic still remembers it clearly.

[After years of human body modification and bloodline correction, they gradually blurred the boundaries between life and death, between humans and non-humans, and between morality and immorality in their understanding of the world.]

The subsequent work of cleaning up the kobolds went smoothly.

These beasts of low life level were chopped up like melons and vegetables by the force of the crowd and were wiped out in one day.

The next job is daily rotation.

Vic was not idle. Every time he went out on duty, he would take some ore from the bare mines on the surface.

The other knights were doing the same thing, and no one said anything.

The senior apprentice in charge was also very decisive. The next day, he asked two knights to help him fill the three alchemical rings with the secret fire silver ore.

Ordinary silver mines are of little value to wizards.

But the Secret Fire Silver Mine is different.

These silver ores are eroded by the 'secret fire' and have very good mystical properties, and are in great demand among the alchemist community.

The primitive mysterious properties of "secret fire" come from the theory of the four elements when ancient wizards studied the world.

Fire, water, earth, and wind.

The names of these naturally occurring minerals with mysterious properties have been used to this day, not because the minerals themselves possess fire.

If analyzed based on the theories of modern wizards.

These silver ores have excellent mystical properties when used in the field of transformation. They can be used to make alchemical props or prostheses without any rejection reaction to alchemy.

Ten days later.

late at night.

The wind around the mine was very strong, with dust whistling and howling like ghosts.

The knight on duty with Vic was the guy who had developed a crush on Amiya before, named Jeff.

Perhaps it was the ten days of getting along that made him think he had gradually figured out the temperaments and identity backgrounds of the people around him.

no doubt.

All the knights who can come here to work are originally escort knights for wizard apprentices in the academy.

Once served a great noble.

The nature is the same as that of the Barony's Knight Commander Ober.

Among them, only Vic was a former student, but because of his poor talent, he was forced to work as a knight to earn a living.

Moreover, in Jeff's eyes, Vic's equipment from head to toe revealed his poverty.

Seeing that Vic remained silent.

He subconsciously thought that Vic must be the kind of poor guy who liked to sulk alone, who came from a poor family and was inherently inferior and cowardly.

and.

For some reason, he always felt that Vic's expression made him uncomfortable.

In a sense.

Although both are knights, when it comes to observation ability, the gap between Jeff and the free knight Luke is huge.

Now it's late at night and boring.

Jeff secretly observed Vic for a while and decided to have some fun with him.

He played with the stick in his hand, and said with a hint of sarcasm in his laughter, "I heard that you were also a student before? How come you are doing the same job as me now?

Oh, I see. It must be because I have poor talent.

Tsk."

After finishing speaking.

Jeff's right hand was already on the hilt of the sword, in case Vic got angry about this and tried to cause trouble for him.

He would teach Vic a lesson by force.

Tell him how big the gap is between nobles and commoners.

It would be best to humiliate him so that he can find some fun in his boring work.

Vic just looked at him coldly, then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, continuing to learn knowledge.

But Vic's arrogant attitude of "are you talking to me?" immediately made Jeff lose his balance and became more unhappy.

This is not the first or second time that he has bullied newcomers.

In the past, I went out on missions to earn extra money.

If the newcomers listen to him and satisfy his bully mentality, he will not use violence, but no one who goes against him will have a good ending.

Only he himself knows how many times he has done such things as sabotaging and killing his teammates.

A provocation failed.

Jeff became more and more aggressive. He stood up and walked to Vic, slapped Vic on the face, and threatened, "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

on the road.

For no apparent reason, someone seems to be unhappy with me.

Vic had experienced the same thing too many times in his previous life. Even in the wizarding community, not everyone understood like Sigs and Luke that human hearts are unpredictable and that they need to be kinder to others.

For some descendants of powerful wizards, power and knowledge came too easily, so it is inevitable that they would have the idea that I am first and everything in the universe is second.

Jeff was grinning and ready to reach out and slap Vic's cheek for the second time.

Vic grabbed his wrist.

"Do you know why you've been a knight your whole life?"

Jeff tried to break free.

But Vic's grip was like an iron clamp, holding him tightly.

Jeff seemed to be touched by Vic's words.

He drew his sword and put it on Vic's neck, looking furious, and said, "I'll tell you why right now?! Idiot!"

Vic looked as calm as ever, and continued, "Don't use your brain, you will be a knight all your life, Mr. Jeff."

Vic's voice fell.

Jeff was horrified to find that his clothes, his skin, and even his blood and bones began to spontaneously burn!

Ordinary people simply cannot understand that kind of heart-piercing pain.

Vic let go.

Jeff let out a heart-wrenching howl of pain and rushed out of the cabin like a madman, trying to find water to put out the fire, but it was all in vain.

His flesh, blood and bones are not enough to reverse the effects of witchcraft.

This scream also attracted the attention of others.

Including the senior apprentice Brandi, everyone ran out of the room without having time to change clothes, but they could only watch Jeff turn into a pile of charcoal in the flames and fall to the ground without a sound.

Seeing this scene, the pupils of the three wizard apprentices shrank suddenly.

Because this is no ordinary flame.

It's witchcraft fire!
