Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 387 Unexpected Events and Encounters

Looking at Zorn's expression, Ruger felt that he was only bringing up the name of the Witcher Wizard to appease Kurt, or perhaps to use the name of the Witcher Wizard to help himself gain some benefits. Everyone has their own desires.

Upon hearing this, Kurt returned to his ascension state. What was not yet fully completed was the transformation of the God of Sorrow, the god he had created, which slowed down the end of the ritual.

Was the wizard Zorn always there?
Kurt, who has almost completed his advancement, sits in an empty chair, the ritual is incomplete, and he is a god in the process of transformation.

Luger suddenly realized.

Why didn't the wizard Zorn appear before? Was it out of mercy? Did he not want to interfere with Kurt's advancement as a wizard apprentice?
Perhaps, but Ruger believes it's more that the wizard Zorn looked down on those things.

The demons who had been scrambling to take their seats were unable to satisfy the wizard Zorn's demands. He was waiting for Kurt to become a true first-ring wizard, and then using this newly appointed official wizard, along with the god he had created, to lure the demons. Perhaps the small pebble that Zorn threw in was also carefully prepared. This might be what Zorn had said: he was fishing for demons.

Of course, Ruger admitted that this was just his wild imagination.

Lord Zorn just said that this is a serious witch-hunting incident handled by witch-hunting wizards.

Ruger thought for a moment, then turned his head, intending to offer Kurt, who was sitting at the other end of the table, a slightly comforting smile.

Kurt happened to look over as well, and what he saw was a familiar wry smile. Moreover, in that expression, Kurt was actually comforting Ruger, and even had a slight sense of apology, as if it was because of his own affairs that Ruger was stuck in the chair, causing risks beyond what was promised.

Ruger rolled his eyes.

Despite his self-proclaimed thick skin, he felt somewhat uncomfortable with Kurt's apology, even though he was indeed caught in the middle, like a plate on the table or a useless candlestick, especially now that he was the weakest here. But he still rolled his eyes.

Did Kurt seek cooperation with him out of trust?

Obviously not many, but there are still some. Some are based on the recognition of his identity as a witch hunter, so he is not someone of unknown origin. There are also a few who trust him, which may be based on his judgment of people. After all, he did not choose Mahama. There is also the mutually beneficial transaction. A mutually beneficial transaction can lead to the signing of a contract. People who have no desires are often not a good choice for cooperation.

Luger's eye roll was a tribute to himself, and also to that tiny, pitiful sliver of recognition that might exist.

Acknowledging a point is a prerequisite for trust.

Luger smiled again, leaned back, and pursed his lips indifferently. That was all he could do now, and all he could do was roll his eyes.

The act of rolling one's eyes is probably the greatest legacy that old Lenser left him.

He thought about it and became more and more convinced of the action in his heart.

A seemingly simple eye roll can represent many things. For example, when Old Lenser rolls his eyes at him, sometimes it means he is somewhat helpless, sometimes it means he cares, sometimes it means he denies the other person's words and actions, and sometimes it means he is embarrassed, powerless, or compromising with his own weakness.

That was a perfect eye roll.

Ruger thought to himself, deciding to continue watching the spectacle.

With the change of the God of Grief, Kurt's fluctuating mental power, as perceived by Ruger, seemed to have reached another level. At least, the increase was quite astonishing for a wizard apprentice like him.

The wizard Zorn suddenly waved his hand.

The God of Grief trembled, and a bloody gash appeared on his shoulder from an inexplicable force.

Ruger looked at Kurt, only to see that the guy still had his eyes closed, experiencing the changes within himself, seemingly unaware that the god he had created had been cut.

But how could that be possible?

Ruger smiled and looked towards the wizard Zorn.

If one can let go of the awkwardness of being used as a tool in something that has nothing to do with oneself, it is a very good thing. The weak should have the awareness of the weak. Participating in this matter can broaden one's horizons and also give the number one scoundrel a good meal, so it is naturally a good thing.

The constantly shifting figures on the chair gradually brightened the eyes of the wizard Zorn, his previous drowsy state gone. It seemed that the wizard Zorn's power was also supporting the ritual; one could only hope that his power was enough to prevent the descending demon from leaving the chair.

Ruger pondered wildly, thinking that this ascension ritual must have been carefully considered. He wondered what level of demons it would attract, and how this special method would allow the demons to descend upon the chair under restraint. Perhaps the world's suppressive power was also taken into account and utilized.

Therefore, what the wizard Zorn was doing went beyond the scope of ritual.

The god of grief was gradually enveloped by the turbid ball of light, which then underwent further changes, sometimes becoming pure white and sometimes becoming filthy.

The changes in the God of Sorrow led to further developments on the side of the wizard Zorn.

As the aura of the god of grief reached its peak, and the ball of light was slowly absorbed by it, a figure that would never change finally appeared on the empty chair behind the dining table.

Ruger blinked, recalling the respectful tone Kurt had used earlier. At that time, Kurt was already considered a formal wizard, radiating powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, which inevitably made Ruger draw certain connections.

Zorn is a certified wizard, but he has never claimed to be a first-ring wizard.

Looking at the wizard Zorn's excited smile, if he really was a wizard of a higher level, then his behavior of being drunk on the street and having his chest hair grabbed by a burly cook would seem even more outrageous.

Ruger rolled his eyes.

He wanted to tell Mahama about this.

A grinning face appeared on the chair; it was a tall figure, and the haze around him was gradually fading away.

Ruger's eyes were first drawn to the single horn on its head.

Zorn also looked the grinning demon up and down with satisfaction; the demon's appearance was somewhat devoid of human form.

The towering demon looked around, swaying its body and struggling to make the haze recede faster.

Zorn had already started rubbing his hands together.

Ruger raised an eyebrow. Old dog Lunther only did that when he had made a substantial profit, or was preparing to make a substantial profit.

The tall demon opened its mouth, and compared to the previous short creature, it seemed to have a stronger desire to express itself.

Suddenly, a roar erupted, followed by a scream.

The tall figure that had gradually stabilized and emerged suddenly vanished from the chair. A demon, whose figure was similar to that of an ordinary person but only slightly taller, appeared on the chair. The moment it sat down, it merely glanced at the figure and then stirred up a strange flame. The haze on the chair vanished in the blink of an eye.

Ruger subconsciously slowed his breathing and shrank back into the corner of the chair, distancing himself from the domineering new guest.

The wizard Zorn frowned at some point.

After the demon regained its footing, it surveyed its surroundings at will, without immediately focusing its attention on Zorn.

Suddenly, the demon turned to Luger, who was watching the spectacle from the sidelines.

"Oh? You actually came, and even successfully became an apprentice demon hunter wizard?"

The demon laughed as he spoke.

Zorn and Kurt both looked at Luger, who had been sitting in his chair watching the commotion with a smile, with surprise.
