Wizard Immortality

Chapter 32 Time is ruthless
The wanted warrant was just a minor episode.

The Death Rift region is vast.

The geographical environment is complex.

The chances of Vic running into Amiya Vergara on his way back to the academy were slim.

Even if encountered.

He is now a senior apprentice and can escape calmly even if he is defeated.

last life.

Vic has had run-ins with criminal wizards before.

Because they trampled on the principle of equivalence, the ways these criminal wizards obtain power are far beyond those of ordinary wizards, and their methods are so bizarre that they are beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

Therefore, the actual combat power generally crushes those of the same level.

Vic had extensive combat experience in his previous life, and he also had the knowledge accumulated from the Lich's Life Box and advanced extraction methods.

But he didn't dare to say that he could definitely defeat the opponent if they encountered him in the wild.

Wizards are pragmatic.

There is a risk.

Then try to avoid risks.

After Vic finished replenishing supplies in Fog Town, he changed his horse and set off on his return journey.

Fortunately.

What he was most worried about did not happen. Everything went smoothly and he successfully returned to the college two months later.

rain.

The Gothic buildings of Black Tower College were shrouded in misty drizzle, like a bizarre dream.

The top of the tiles is wet and dripping.

The gargoyle statue stands against heavy clouds, overlooking the area below from a high place.

Because a criminal wizard was born in the academy, the entrance and exit inspections were very strict.

Vic dismounted and waited to question his apprentice about going to the academy to verify his identity.

There wasn't much water under the arch.

As stable as a mirror.

Clear and transparent.

Not long after.

The wizard apprentice on duty frowned, walked up to Vic, and said, "According to the academy's identity records, Vic, a student of the 733rd term, went out four years ago and has not returned yet.

Already included in the list of deaths.

Tell me a name and I'll send someone who knows you to pick you up."

The wizarding world is cruel and unforgiving.

If we fail in the slightest, we will die without a complete body.

It is normal for a student with the strength of a knight to be put on the death list after going out for training for four years without returning.

Vic thought for a while and said, "My classmate, wizard apprentice Aaron, should know me."

The wizard apprentice on duty should know who Aaron is.

Take a look at Vic and remember his appearance.

Then he asked his squire knight to look for someone in the academy.

About an hour later.

A tall, fair-skinned, handsome young man with extraordinary manners and demeanor strode over.

Without waiting for the squire's report.

The young man smiled and said, "Vic, why did you take so long to come back? You made me worried."

Seeing this, the wizard apprentice on duty bowed slightly to Aaron as a greeting and said, "Since Sir Aaron knows you, you can go in."

Your Mightiness?

An apprentice can allow another apprentice to use honorifics.

This shows that he has a high status in the college.

Vic glanced at the strange young man, and from some subtle expressions he could tell that he was still the simple, dark and thin boy Aaron from that year.

But he had such an extraordinary demeanor, a loud voice and was full of confidence.

To tell the truth.

Vic didn't recognize him.

Wizards are observant and good at paying attention to details.

Vic noticed that Aaron was wearing two alchemical rings on his right hand, both of which were of excellent quality and very valuable.

It seems that Aaron has been doing very well in the college during the years he was away.

See Vic come back alive.

Aaron's expression didn't seem fake, but genuinely happy.

He even said angrily, "Vic, you didn't behave like a good friend in this matter. You didn't even tell me when you went out to train alone. I wasn't much stronger than you back then, but at least I could lend you some soul stones in case you needed them.

When the academy put you on the death list, I was sad for a long time. "

Talking.

Two young students who had just enrolled this year ran into Aaron head-on, and hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted, making way.

Aaron remained unmoved, patting Vic on the shoulder and walking straight through the two men.

"Since you're back alive, I'll have a nice drink with you no matter what."

The two stopped in front of a store called 'Future Auto Assistant'.

Aaron raised his head, looked at the billboard, and introduced it confidently, "This is the store I run, how is it?"

Automatic assistant is an auxiliary prop widely used by wizards.

The producer needs to have a certain understanding of the field of astrology and have studied the subject of astrologers in depth.

Flying magic pens, household brooms, etc. all fall into this category.

In the vast majority of cases.

This kind of item only improves combat power slightly, but it is very valuable and only wizards with profound background will buy it.

It is also a symbol of identity and status.

Although Aaron is not an astrologer in the strict sense, his ability is enough to support a shop, which shows that he has studied astrology very hard.

after all.

In the talent test that year, Aaron's understanding of astrology was only rated average, and Vic and he knew each other very well.

Go into the store.

The specifications and area are not large.

But it is fully functional, with different types of flying magic pens, crystal balls, and household brooms placed on the shelves.

The two busy students hurriedly stopped their work and bowed their heads.

Aaron introduced them, "They are the students I am teaching this time. They are very talented and study hard."

Then he signaled the two students to step aside.

He has guests to entertain.

Vic was not shy and sat at a round table naturally. He said, "Many years ago, we were still students, but in the blink of an eye, you have already started to guide new students."

Aaron smiled helplessly and didn't say anything.

He took out a bottle of fruit wine soaked in the mysterious plant 'Screaming Tuber' from the wine cabinet, poured two glasses, and sighed, "Time flies."

Vic reached out and took the wine from Aaron.

He looked a little lost, probably because he was thinking of something sad.

There was silence for a while.

He took out a mental force field defense ring, placed it on the table, pushed it in front of Aaron, and said, "This is a high-quality mental force field ring.

You have helped me many times before, and this is a token of your gratitude.

Don’t say no.”

Rings of this quality are extremely rare in the market and are very valuable, but Aaron didn't even look at them.

Because the relationship between them does not require too much hypocrisy and interest exchanges.

If it was just about interests, he would have stopped associating with Vic many years ago.

Aaron raised his head and took a sip of his wine, then said, "Vic, a lot of things happened in the four years you were away.

Remember I told you that I pursued a girl before.

Finally I succeeded, but our relationship only lasted a month, during which time she went out to gain experience and never came back.”

Experienced loss.

Only then will a person know how to cherish.

That's why Aaron was so happy to see Vic return to the academy.

Vic had experienced this deeply in his previous life.

Time is ruthless.

As friends and loved ones around him die one by one, the tenderness in the wizard's heart will also die along with them.

In the end, he became cruel and ruthless.

Aaron shook his head, as if he didn’t want to talk about this topic anymore, and continued, “There’s one more thing, three years ago, Luke died.

I know you have a good relationship with him.

After you left the academy, he went out alone to buy a knowledge notebook, but was robbed. He was alone and died outside.

I found the body and buried it in the cemetery on the back hill."

Luke is dead?

Vic's expression remained calm and composed, and did not change at all despite the bad news.

He simply asked, "Who killed him?"
