Wizard Immortality

Chapter 85 Invitation丨Rules of the Wasteland丨Settlement

The hanging city is a thousand meters above the ground.

The wind was howling in the city.

The steam coming out of the towering chimneys looks like rolling cumulus clouds.

Looking down from above, human beings walking between the giant steel structures are like ants.

Vic followed the young man who led the way and landed at the entrance of the Mechanical Heart.

Along the way, the young man remained silent.

Vic was secretly guessing the city lord's intention in inviting him to meet him.

Although there is a relationship between the Eternal Chamber of Commerce and Grant, it is obvious that a first-level alchemist is not in the eyes of a second-level wizard.

not to mention.

The person who wanted to see him was the founder of the most powerful wizard organization in the Glorious Old Land.

There is a huge gap between the strength and status of the two sides.

Inside the Mechanical Heart Tower, the corridors are brightly lit, and the metal walls reflect a cold light. Staying here for a long time is bound to be depressing.

Along the way, there were only home-type mechanical golems working, and no third living person could be seen.

Vic is also an alchemist.

He could tell at a glance that these mechanical golems were made by an alchemist who was proficient in golem making.

Combined with the existence of the hanging city.

It is not difficult to guess that the owner of this city is most likely a golem engineer who is proficient in golemology, but whether he is a second-level alchemist is not known for the time being.

Go up the spiral staircase.

Not long after.

The two stopped at the top of the tower.

The young man said, "The city lord is waiting for you inside, go in."

As soon as he finished speaking, two steel doors with complex mechanical structures began to emit misty white steam on both sides, and the hydraulic rods pushed the gears to rotate and slowly opened.

Within the limited imagination of mortals.

The mayor's room in the mechanical suspended city should be extremely luxurious, with mountains of jewels and gold piled up.

But it is.

Compared to the city lord's room, the structure and layout inside is more like a standard industrial workshop.

A large number of abandoned mechanical golems were piled on both sides of the wall, and the smell of rust and oil filled the air.

An unkempt blond young man, wearing a jumpsuit and covered in grease, was cutting metal parts next to a lathe with his back to Vic.

Hearing footsteps behind him.

Without looking back, he said, "Vic, huh? Sit down somewhere."

Finished workpiece.

The blond young man took off his goggles, turned to look at Vic, and said bluntly, "Before Sigs left the Glorious Old Land, she mentioned two people, one was you, and the other was Aaron.

She and I call each other friends.

So, I promised her that if you two come to the ruling area of the Hanging City in the future, I can provide some help. "

If you only look at the back.

At first glance, the lord of this mechanical suspended city looks like a reckless engineer.

But when he spoke, it was cold and heartless.

His posture is like that of a monarch, towering above all others.

His whole demeanor was at odds with the work clothes he was wearing.

And by doing Vic a favor, he was just repaying Sigs’ favor.

but.

Judging from his words, Sigs might have been promoted to the second level many years ago, and was able to be friends with the city lord. His strength was unpredictable.

But Vic had already drawn a line between himself and Sigs.

The two never spoke to each other again until they died.

He also said bluntly, "Siegs and I are old acquaintances, but she and I don't owe each other anything, so there's no need for her to help."

Vic was so decisive.

Instead, the young man raised his eyelids, looked at him for a second, was silent for a while, and said, "If that's the case, I won't force it.

But I heard from Grant from the Eternal Chamber of Commerce that you are also an alchemist. Are you interested in joining the Hanging City?"

In his opinion.

The two people Sigs asked him to take care of were probably nobodys who were old friends of hers.

At most, he is just a wizard apprentice.

Those with low strength.

Given such an opportunity, he would definitely take advantage of it and ask for a lot. Human nature is greedy, so he wouldn't think too much about it, but he wouldn't have any impression of the two wizards named Vic and Aaron. After this incident, he and Sigs were even.

A second-level wizard is different from a first-level wizard.

They have already glimpsed the horror of the equivalence principle.

Vic rejected Sigs's kindness so decisively, and even said bluntly that they owed nothing to each other. The lord of the Hanging City couldn't help but look up to Vic.

Debts between wizards are difficult to escape unless the debt is cleared upon death.

This first-level wizard named Vic can realize this.

Not bad.

Joining the Hanging City can bring a lot of resources and opportunities, but costs and benefits coexist, and Vic is unwilling to be bound by it.

Pretending to think, he lowered his head slightly with a respectful tone and said, "I am used to being a free wizard, without any constraints. Please forgive me."

The young man said, "It's okay. If you want to settle here, you can go find Gavin, the young man who brought you here. He is my assistant.

Is there anything I can help with?

You can also come to me. This is a private matter between us and has nothing to do with Sigs. "

Vic bowed his head, thanked him and left.

His purpose of coming to the Hanging City this time was to settle down temporarily.

After what happened at the Snow Mountain Trading Market, the wizard family’s strength has made it difficult to provide shelter in their current glorious old land.

The breakdown of order caused by criminal wizards.

Now we are just beginning to see the clues.

Once a criminal wizard stays in the same area for too long, killing, burning and looting, the cosmic rules of the area will gradually disintegrate and completely turn it into a lawless place without any rules.

The principle of equivalence is everywhere.

In areas not bound by rules, wizards can do whatever they want, but the price is that the resources and mysterious power of the area will gradually deplete until they disappear.

Finally it became a complete wasteland.

If you can't get rid of Amiya before then, or be promoted to level two and leave.

Once the cosmic rules of the glorious old land disintegrate.

Want to leave again.

The only way is to join the criminal wizards.

Vic's spirit contains a lich's life box and is rich in knowledge.

Joining the criminal wizards is a path that only the desperate and the psychotic would choose.

Once you leave the wasteland of rules.

You face the risk of being wiped out at any time and anywhere.

Be greedy and lose the big.

After leaving the Mechanical Heart Tower, Vic chatted with the first-level wizard Gavin for a while, and learned from him that the lord of the Hanging City was named Aran.

Proficient in golemology, he is a second-level golem engineer.

Has a close relationship with Sigs.

However, he has remained at the second-level wizard realm for more than a hundred years and has never been able to advance to the senior second level. The reason for this is unknown to others.

The mechanical suspended city was built by him.

Father of the city.

Superior status.

With Vic's strength and status, he could definitely settle down in the Second City District, the Ring of Steel, but he is not a member of the Hanging City organization.

Can only settle in the third urban area.

Under the arrangement of Gavin, the city lord's assistant wizard, no one dared to deliberately make things difficult during the process, and the price was reasonable.

One comes and one goes.

Vic already owed the city lord a favor invisibly.

but.

The city lord Alain is not a genius like Sigs who dominates his peers. The other party values his identity as a first-level alchemist, and the interpersonal exchanges between them are commonplace.

When Gavin left.

Vic said frankly that if he had any needs for potions, he could always come to him for preferential prices.

Befriend an alchemist and help the wizard Gavin willingly do it.

just.

When Vic moved in.

I met an old friend by chance on the street.
