Wizard Immortality

Chapter 31: Criminal Wizard
Time flies.

Vic calculated in his mind that it had been more than four years since he left Black Tower Academy.

It's time to return.

but.

This time back to the academy.

Vic will not be a student, but an alchemist at the level of a wizard apprentice.

This has two advantages.

Because the basic knowledge of the Black Tower Academy is open to all wizard apprentices in the academy for free, he can use this identity to gain access to the academy library and acquire knowledge.

The second is that alchemists have a high status in the academy and are protected.

Opening a private alchemy workshop can also provide substantial soul stone income and avoid being targeted by people with ulterior motives.

Vic had already thought of a specific statement when he returned to the academy.

During his four years away, he has been serving an alchemist who travels around the world. He owes his current achievements to the alchemist's teaching.

Wizarding World.

It is common to have unexpected encounters when you are out experiencing things.

Makes sense.

Otherwise, some wizards who are stuck in a bottleneck will not go out to gain experience and look for opportunities.

but.

In exchange for the academy's protection.

Vic needs to hand over some of his knowledge of alchemy to supplement the academy's collection of knowledge carriers.

This is a virtuous cycle of exchange of interests.

Vic knows the rules.

After making a decision.

One month after being promoted to a senior apprentice, his spiritual body became stable, and Vic carefully restrained the strength of his spiritual magnetic field to maintain the level of a wizard apprentice.

Only then did he leave the misty mountains and prepare to return to the academy.

Death Rift area.

It is surrounded by the sea in the southeast and blocked by mountains in the northwest.

It takes two months to travel by horse from the misty mountains at the border to the Black Tower Academy in the heartland.

Vic planned to find a nearby mortal town to change his clothes and purchase some basic supplies.

A week later.

The foggy town extends to a small road in the suburbs, where a man and a horse walk leisurely forward.

It was noon.

The fog over the town has lifted.

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky.

Weird and eerie dead trees, twisted and crooked, are slanted on both sides of the road.

Occasionally a crow would land on a branch and make a creepy howling sound.

Because the town is located near foggy mountains and strange creatures appear all the time, the people there are tough.

As Vic walked along, he saw that most of the women and children were carrying weapons.

Since leaving the Bell family.

The warhorse that Vic was riding had been unattended for more than three years. After being eroded by the fog, it was now skinny and bony, and it trembled as it walked.

Vic's own clothing was in tatters.

After entering the town.

Many people gathered in front of the notice board in the center of town.

Two wizards in black robes with the Black Tower Academy logo on their waistcoats walked around and stopped suspicious people for questioning.

Because Vic was unkempt and looked like a foreigner, he was too eye-catching and was stopped by the wizard as soon as they met.

"I am the deacon of the Black Tower Academy Disciplinary Committee, senior apprentice Savage. Please explain your identity and background."

The wizard who was speaking had dark skin and a resolute face that exuded a sense of majesty without even being angry.

The Disciplinary Committee is the law enforcement agency of the Black Tower Academy and has great power in the Death Rift region.

The status is just below that of the mysterious professions.

Based on the strength of the other party's mental magnetic field, Vic analyzed that he should be a senior apprentice.

The questioning was aggressive.

But Vic had a clear conscience, so he remained calm and revealed his identity to the other party without haste.

He learned that Vic was a wizard from the Black Tower Academy like him, and an alchemist of high status.

His expression then relaxed and he said, "Why have I never seen you before?"

Vic tied the reins of the horse, turned around and said, "I have been away from the academy for more than four years to gain experience. I am going to return to the academy to recuperate for a while."

The deacon of the disciplinary committee confirmed again and again that Vic was not the person they were looking for, and then he let down his guard and explained, "Last year, a suture master in the academy violated discipline and fled for fear of crime. We are trying to catch him. If you see him, please do not act on your own.

Because the target is extremely dangerous.

Already included in the list of criminal wizards."

Criminal wizards are different from ordinary wanted criminals.

Most of the wanted criminals are wizards who have committed crimes such as theft or robbery in the academy. Even if they are caught, they will not be sentenced to death.

But criminal wizards are different.

Specifically refers to those wizards who ignore the principle of equivalence and act recklessly, have knowledge from illegal sources, and are extremely powerful.

In the wizarding world.

Ignoring the principle of equivalence is a particularly terrible crime.

Because the criminal wizard cannot personally repay the price he should pay, as long as he is alive, the phenomenon of price transfer will occur.

Specific manifestations.

It will bring disaster to the wizarding organization to which the criminal wizard belongs, and will also affect his previous close friends.

Once a wizard becomes a criminal wizard, he will become the target of public criticism in the wizarding world. Few strong people can live for tens of millions of years and try to touch the threshold of the seventh-level wizard.

But it’s not like nothing.

The cost transfer phenomenon it caused is comparable to a disaster.

In Vic's memory from his previous life, there was such a ruthless person who sacrificed hundreds of civilized worlds just for eternal life.

Unfortunately, it still failed at the most critical step.

He fell from the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Vic exchanged a few pleasantries with the deacon wizard and walked over to the notice board.

He was curious.

What kind of wizard apprentice would embark on the path of a criminal wizard before even touching the threshold of a first-level wizard?

Take a look around.

Vic's gaze finally stopped at the latest wanted poster, and his expression gradually became strange.

[Amiya Vergara, a wizard from the Black Tower Academy in 728, a stitcher, a wizard apprentice, and suspected to be a senior apprentice.]

【Crimes: cannibalism, cruel transformation, mental slavery, robbery. 】

[This criminal wizard is extremely dangerous. Senior apprentices or below, please do not approach. ]

[No limit on life or death, bounty: 350 soul stones. ]

【Black Tower Wizard Academy released.】

Below the wanted poster.

There is a black and white photo that automatically loops like a short video.

Inside was the short, smiling, friendly-looking girl, exactly the same as Vic remembered four years ago.

Look at it this way.

Vic's initial intuition and vigilance were not groundless.

Especially among the crimes is cannibalism.

Thinking about the other person, he is a suture master with a deep understanding of the field of life and death, and is a surgical doctor in the academy.

Even Vic shuddered a little.

There was a chill on the back of my neck.

After all, they had worked together before, and the other party had taken the initiative to show goodwill to him.

Imagine.

How many parts would be missing from the body of an injured wizard apprentice or knight if he came down from Amiya Vergara's operating table?

perhaps.

Will there be an extra plate of fried liver on Amiya's table that day?
She has been lurking in the academy for many years.

The number of people she has killed is unimaginable.

Fortunately, Vic had seen countless people, and he noticed that there was something wrong with Amiya Vergara at the beginning.

So I deliberately kept my distance from her.

He ignored all the other party's active overtures.

otherwise.

It is hard to say whether his kidneys, liver and spleen are still in the abdominal cavity.

This is also the one thing that Vic has always been afraid of since his reincarnation: being remembered by others.

Obviously.

During the time when we were stationed at the Secret Fire Silver Mine.

Amiya's every move was about his flesh and blood and internal organs.
