Wizard Immortality

Chapter 76: Meeting an old friend | Past events | Status difference
The representatives of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce stayed in the Snow Mountain Trading Market for quite some time.

In addition to the first-level wizards sent by the Chamber of Commerce, there were also escorts.

There are also two first-level wizards from the Mechanical Suspended City and the Rectification Committee.

One of them.

Vic thought he looked familiar, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was fishy and did not recognize him rashly.

Instead it's the other party.

One night, he took the initiative to visit.

As soon as we met.

Vic felt that this tall, middle-aged man looked very familiar. His every word and action were similar to those of an old friend.

He laughed warmly and said with full energy, "Vic, the last time we met was probably seventy years ago. I never thought that you, who had the worst talent back then, have become a first-level alchemist.

Ha ha. "

The person who received this person was Kevin Sears.

Seeing that the other party was an old acquaintance of Vic, he didn't dare to say much.

Vic looked extremely strange, and after a long silence, he said a name.

"Luke?"

"Of course it's me. After not seeing you for so many years, your appearance has changed a lot, but your personality has not changed at all."

When Vic returned from Black Tower Academy after training, Aaron mentioned Luke's death in a detailed and downcast manner, which did not seem false.

How did he come back to life?

The wizard is thoughtful.

After a moment, Vic understood.

But he never expected that Aaron, who had always been honest and simple and could not hide anything in his heart, had actually learned to lie.

Even he was fooled by perfection.

Luke is believed to be dead.

Since the other party generously admitted his identity, Vic was not too surprised. He asked Kevin to get some food and drinks, and then asked Luke to sit down.

Talk about it.

He still owed Luke a favor back then.

but.

Luke was accustomed to Vic's indifferent reaction and felt a sense of familiarity and closeness.

After sitting down, he didn't wait for Vic to ask.

He spoke frankly about the miserable experience of having to live off a gigolo in order to earn a wizard's notebook.

"Alas, the story of faking my own death is a long one. One of my good friends even lost his life because of it, and I still feel resentful about it to this day."

The two had a conversation.

The truth of the dusty past gradually surfaces.

The reason why Luke planned his own fake death was to get rid of the senior apprentice who supported him, the jeweler Shirley.

Although the knight's physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, it is still far from enough compared to the wizard apprentice.

very beginning.

His body could still take it.

But as time went on, the witch became more and more demanding and controlling. She had already treated him as her personal property, and her methods became more and more perverted.

Served for one year.

After saving enough soul stones to buy the wizard's notebook.

He had already thought of quitting, so he simply pulled Aaron and a good friend together and personally planned to be ambushed and die in a foreign land.

It's also because of this.

His friend was inexplicably targeted by someone, was ambushed and died unexpectedly.

Then the two of them talked about their respective situations for a while.

Vic is as he sees it.

That year, after leaving the academy, Luke had been active in the Kingdom of Thornflower and had made many achievements. Later, he heard that the King of Thornflower, the first-level wizard Andrew, had something to do and needed to leave Death Rift.

He seized the opportunity.

He spent his life savings and begged the other party to take him away to explore the bigger world.

If it was an ordinary first-level wizard, taking the money and not doing the work would be the lightest punishment.

In serious cases, there may be murder and robbery.

There's no point in reasoning with an apprentice.

But it was Andrew Thornflower that Luke met.

Since then, he has stayed in the Mechanical Suspended City to develop.

Although the Glorious Old Land is extremely dangerous, there are also many opportunities. With his talent, he has worked hard from a wizard apprentice to the first level in just thirty years.

Now he is a member of the Hanging City Rectification Committee.

The specific work is almost the same as that of the Disciplinary Committee of the Black Tower Academy. It is mainly responsible for maintaining regional stability, hunting down wizards who make a living by robbery, and investigating the whereabouts of criminal wizards.

Although the resume is brilliant, only those who know it know the bitterness behind it.

While the two were talking.

They are already testing each other's strength.

This determines your attitude.

The strength of Luke's mental magnetic field was average, and it was obvious that he had just been promoted to the next level.

However, considering his talent, it is very rare for him to be promoted to the next level in such a short time.

At the same time, Luke was also secretly exploring Vic's spiritual magnetic field.

Although his strength was average and unremarkable, he knew in his heart that Vic was a very capable person and he showed his true colors when they first met.

This intensity was obviously intentional on his part.

The knowledge reserve of a first-level alchemist is so terrifying that the corresponding spiritual body energy density is definitely not low.

Talking about Vic's status as a first-level alchemist, Luke showed envy and jealousy in his eyes, and sighed, "Alas, we are both first-level alchemists, but I can't compare to your achievements.

First-level alchemist.

If my boss saw you in the Mechanical Floating City, he would have to flatter you.

It's out of reach!"

Luke's words were full of flattery, but Vic remained unmoved.

Among wizards.

interests come first.

Although it is an old friend.

But his relationship with Luke was far from that close.

After some small talk, Luke stated his purpose, smiled bitterly, and said, "I heard that the Black Tower Academy has been destroyed, and I thought you died in the Death Rift.

Now that we meet unexpectedly, I have something to ask of you."

Vic owed the other party a favor, and now Luke is tactfully asking for repayment. As long as it's not an exorbitant amount, he won't refuse.

The voice was calm, "Go ahead."

He saw that Vic was thinking of their old friendship, and his eyes were moved.

Being away for these years.

He was accustomed to seeing people's unpredictable hearts and their betrayal.

Although he helped Vic once before.

But now Vic is already a top-level alchemist with strong financial resources and unfathomable strength, and he has the authorization endorsement of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce.

Noble status.

He needs to look up.

It was reasonable for the other party to drive him away without any regard for their friendship.

So he said sincerely, "Several decades ago, when I was still an apprentice, I had a son with a woman in the glorious old land.

He has some talent in the changeup field.

A wizard apprentice who was promoted ten years ago.

Although you work in the Alchemist Society of the Hanging City, you have never been able to become a full-time employee. Now that you are a first-level alchemist, you will definitely have a say in the society.

I don't ask for much.

As long as my son is promoted, I will reward him handsomely afterwards."

Vic said indifferently, "No need to reward me. I helped me once before. After this, we are even."

At the college that year.

Luke had been in contact with Vic for some time and he knew what kind of person he was.

He was not surprised to get this answer.

I quickly stood up and thanked him.

Vic waved his hand to signal him that it was not necessary and said, "Give me a name and I'll get it done for you within a week."

"My son's name is Seth. He is an intern at the society and works in the general affairs department."

Vic nodded, indicating that he already knew.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

After Luke made an excuse to leave.

Vic took out the spell doll that Grant had given him and delivered the message.

Ask when the next Night Raven Fair will take place.

He soon got a reply.

Within a year, Grant will give advance notice when the time comes.

Subsequently.

Vic told Grant about Luke's son and asked him to use the power of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce to help settle the matter. After this incident, he owed Grant a personal favor.

Let Grant do it.

Vic's actions were deliberate, not impulsive.

now.

Glen is no longer what it once was.

A long-term interest relationship has been established between them, which is profitable.

Grant is already a senior level one player.

On the surface, he is in charge of the entire Eternal Chamber of Commerce, and even in the Mechanical Suspended City, he still has an independent status.

But the impression he had of Vic during his time at Black Tower Academy was deeply engraved in his mind.

In his eyes, Vic has always been mysterious, as if there is a layer of fog around him, making him elusive.

Don't judge lightly.

So, Vic owed him a personal favor.

He takes it very seriously.
