Wizard Immortality

Chapter 23: Indifference丨Principle of Equivalence

after one day.

Dawn.

Two figures, one tall and one short, appeared outside the Bell family's castle.

The rock wall was tall and heavy. The guard knight shouted down, "This is the private territory of the Bell family! Please explain your purpose."

If it were a mortal, the guard knight would simply drive him away.

But he was somewhat afraid of the shorter man below, who was dressed in a black robe and a wizard.

Mather raised his head and responded loudly, "I am the family knight Mather Bell! The one standing behind me is the alchemist Archie!"

After learning the identities of the two.

The guard knight hurriedly found the senior apprentice in charge of defense to report and confirm the identities of Vic and Mather.

Not long after.

The senior apprentice standing on the city wall recognized Mather, whom he had not seen for many years. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked loudly, "Where is the person who is going to pick you up?"

Mather had a bitter look on his face, shook his head slightly, and said, "We were attacked by the Carter family on the way. Only Master Archie and I are alive."

Hear the attack.

Everyone on the city wall looked unhappy.

but.

The senior apprentice in charge of defense would not easily believe what Mather said. He had reason to suspect that the Carter family hijacked the team and used their people to impersonate the alchemist in an attempt to sneak into the castle.

After some questioning and probing.

Only then did he lower the drawbridge to allow the two to pass.

The Bell family's castle was built on a low hill with relatively flat terrain.

Although living in such a place would not be very comfortable, the militarized building structure could resist most invading cavalry.

Vic waited in the living room for a while.

The head of the Bell family then appeared at the door in a hurry.

From his unsteady steps and unkempt, crazy demeanor, Vic concluded that this man must have tried to understand knowledge beyond his life level.

Although he did not die, the consequences were serious.

Not only does the spiritual body become very unstable, but the knowledge system is also in danger of collapse.

He came to see the alchemist worshipped by the family. He tried his best to maintain his remaining sanity, as if it was the last breath of a dying man.

He sat on the sofa and said very quickly, "Sir Archie, I am the head of the family, Makaro Bell. After joining the family, the treatment you enjoy will be in accordance with the requirements you put forward when negotiating with Anthony in the trading market.

Six hundred soul stones per year, one third of the library will be open, and all the excess materials and finished products will be yours."

After finishing speaking.

He hurriedly got up and left, saying he was unwell.

The wizard is thoughtful.

Vic is far ahead of his peers in this regard.

From point to surface, unraveling the mystery.

Soon, the current situation of the Bell family gradually took shape in his mind.

The strongest first-level wizard in the family, the person in charge, faced with the relentless pressure from the hostile family, could only try to forcibly break through to the senior level one.

But his talent is limited and his foundation is weak.

Not only did it end in failure, but it also caused serious mental damage.

In other words.

The strength of the Carter Family was beyond Vic's expectations.

Moreover, the Bell family must have had a senior first-level wizard among their ancestors.

It is difficult for ordinary wizard families to purchase such a high-level knowledge carrier.

Look at it this way.

It remains unknown whether he can stay in the precarious Bell family for the full two years.

But Vic doesn't care whether others are dead or alive, he only cares about soul stones and knowledge.

After the person in charge, Makaro, left.

Another first-level wizard slowly walked into the reception room.

Although his strength is inferior to Makaro, his mental field is stable and his future is promising.

When Vic saw the other party walk into the reception room, he stood up and bowed his head slightly to show his respect.

after all.

The wizarding world is a very hierarchical place.

The other party is a first-level wizard, and he is just a wizard apprentice, even if he has the title of alchemist.

The first-level wizard signaled that Vic didn't need to stand up, frowned slightly, and said straight to the point, "Sir Archie, you should be aware of the current situation of the family.

The leader is now seriously injured, and we urgently need a large number of alchemical tools and potions to improve the combat power of our people. "Vic remained calm and asked, "What should I call you, sir?"

"Lamb."

Although the first-level wizard who spoke looked like a young man, his age could not be less than two hundred years old.

He has long black hair, a handsome face and deep eye sockets.

Vic had a blank expression on his face. His narrow triangular eyes were sinister and cruel. He said bluntly, "Since I promised you to join the family, I will not go back on my word.

But I have a request.

Soul stones and materials are in front, and goods are in the back."

Hearing Vic's request to take advantage of someone's misfortune was almost like asking for the whole family to have their money taken away.

The first-level wizard Lamb Bell looked extremely unhappy, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only hold his temper and threatened, "Sir, this is against the rules."

Vic remained unmoved, sitting on the sofa as steady as a rock, and said, "No alchemist would violate the principle of equivalence, Lord Lamb.

A family's offering.

I am not worthy of taking the risk of the collapse of my knowledge system.

If you are worried that I will run away with the money, you can hire another alchemist."

A first-level wizard is different from an apprentice.

In the eyes of the apprentice.

The principle of equivalence is just an illusory thing that cannot be seen or touched.

But for a first-level wizard, the principle of equivalence is both a beacon on the road to truth and a lingering evil spirit that will haunt him until death.

Originally, Lamb was ready to take action to get rid of this vicious and greedy alchemist.

To prevent him from switching sides and supporting the Carter Family.

But the other party started with the principle of equivalence.

Even if the words are unpleasant to hear.

But, such a broad vision.

It is not something that can be possessed by any casual apprentice or a villain who obtains knowledge through illegal means.

Lamb guessed.

This alchemist named Archie most likely came from a powerful wizard organization outside the Death Rift region, and it is possible that he had received instruction from a senior first-level or even second-level wizard!

He took a deep breath.

He calmed down his anger and took a deep look at the ugly man sitting next to him. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he did not directly test Vic's background. He said in a sincere tone, "In this case, the agreement between us has been reached."

Among wizards.

There is no difference in the validity of a verbal agreement and a parchment contract.

Vic said coldly, "If the order cannot be completed, I will return all the excess materials. You don't need to worry."

Lamb nodded, saying that this was an opportunity to show goodwill and ease the cold atmosphere between the two sides due to the negotiations.

"Master, you don't have to return the soul stone you offered. At this juncture, we should show our appreciation for your joining the Bell family."

Between words.

The first-level wizard's way of addressing Vic has changed from Your Excellency to Master.

Vic nodded and said nothing more.

Knight Mather, standing behind Vic, watched the entire process.

He now admired Vic sincerely.

Although the other party was extremely ugly in appearance and behaved in a weird and cunning style, his methods and mentality were far beyond what the apprentices he met in the trading market could match.

Advance and retreat, step by step.

Now Vic and the Bell family have reached an agreement.

Next comes the specifics.

Lamb Bell clapped his hands and shouted to the door, "Let them in!"

Done.

With a smile on his face, he said to Vic, "The life of an alchemist is monotonous and hard, so I selected some clean girls from my clan.

If the master likes, he can select some to serve you."

Vic knew what the Bell family was planning.

One is surveillance.

Secondly, it is to preserve the bloodline of alchemists.

but.

Before he could raise his eyelids to look at the girls who were walking into the room one after another, the knight Mather standing next to him became a little anxious.
