Wizard: The exploration panel keeps me pure.

Chapter 180 Recap: Something's Wrong

Lucia Lauramond looked at the expressionless middle-aged man standing in front of her, a faint smile appearing on her lips. She then continued, "Of course, if things go smoothly, Mr. Snow, you won't need to worry about the rest."

Yes, the lady standing in Snow's room is the one who led Ron to the Tower of the Red Moon.

As a clerk in the Patrol Hall, after the death of the Patrol Hall's director, Vilens, the official wizard who succeeded him naturally chose someone he found suitable from the remaining people.

Lucia was the successor he had chosen for Velens.

He was also one of the insiders in charge of handling Ron's case.

A faint look of reminiscence flashed in the woman's eyes. She hadn't expected that in such a short time, the talented young man Wade had mentioned to her would have already caught the attention of the higher-ups at the Red Moon Tower.

Of course, what she didn't expect was that the other party would actually have a conflict with her.

Although he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, sometimes, being in that position means taking on a responsibility.

Having received so many benefits from the inspection department, he naturally had to handle some matters for the big shots behind the scenes.

She understood these things shortly after entering the academy.

So even though he had a good impression of the kid his friend Wade mentioned, he was also wary of the vice dean behind him.

However, when she heard the request from the person behind her, Lucia agreed without hesitation.

After all, he knew that once he missed the opportunity, he might never get it again in his life. He was already in the process of becoming a full-fledged wizard, so if he could obtain enough resources through this matter to increase his success rate in becoming a full-fledged wizard, that would be excellent.

This explains why, even knowing that a vice-dean-level figure was standing behind Ron, she still accepted the order from the person behind him and attempted to attack Ron.

Perhaps small gains are not enough to tempt people to commit crimes, but when the gains are large enough, those who are not mentally strong will naturally take a different path.

Lucia kept these thoughts in mind, but showed no sign of it on his face.

She still wore a smile and quietly looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. She was no stranger to this genius wizard from the Red Moon Tower. The reason he helped her was not because of that small benefit.

As the acting steward of the Crimson Tower, the person behind him probably doesn't have enough incentive to make the other party betray him.

Or rather, they are unwilling.

Even a lowly apprentice wizard was not taken seriously by that lord.

The other party agreed to help him obtain information about Ron only to repay a favor from years ago.

Although she didn't know exactly what happened back then, Lucia didn't care as long as it didn't affect the mission.

All she needed to know was that she could complete the mission; nothing else mattered. Even if the boy was someone her friend Wade valued, Lucia would never give up her rightful benefits just because of their friendship if they had a conflict in another area.

Indeed, in the woman's view, using a few tricks to deal with a mid-level wizard apprentice was a piece of cake. All she had to do was wait until the task was completed and then take what was rightfully hers.

As for the saying "when the birds are all gone, the good bow is put away; when the cunning rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked," Lucia didn't think it would happen to her.

After all, no matter how talented the other party is, he is only a mid-level wizard apprentice. How many geniuses die in the Red Moon Tower every year? Even the offspring of those adults have perished in many cases, and no one has ever been seen to investigate what happened afterward.

The wizarding world is just that cruel and cold.

Everything boils down to one example: acting in the interest of others is the quality a true wizard should possess. A person who is swayed by emotions is utterly unworthy of being a qualified wizard.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Crimson Tower, Ron kept thinking about everything that had happened in the previous two days.

He gradually recovered from his confused and disoriented state, examined his performance over the past two days, and immediately realized that something was unusual about it.

Logically speaking, although I do sometimes let those kinds of things affect my mood.

There's no reason why the impact should be so severe. He's not some animal completely controlled by his lower body; he still has his rationality, especially when it comes to issues that are truly relevant to him. Ron doesn't think he would completely lose his ability to think because of that kind of thing.

But what happened back then?

For those two days, I was like a puppet being manipulated, only knowing how to vent my desires.

In his view, this was completely unreasonable.

Scenes from those two days flashed through his mind: clothed women, naked women, erotic scenes, and disgusting scenes—

Countless images were strung together in his mind, and in the midst of it all, he suddenly discovered the truth that had puzzled him.

"So that old guy used some trick on me? Or did he use it on both me and Seridwin?"

'

Lun suddenly recalled the pink mist floating in the air that he had seen when he regained consciousness after entering the room.

That was clearly not something the Moon Lady used to seduce herself or to create an atmosphere.

Because he clearly remembered that during those two days, the other party acted even more wildly than he did. If it weren't for the taut string in his mind telling him to restrain himself, he might still be stuck in the room with that woman.

Upon realizing this, Ron's brows furrowed deeply.

He couldn't understand why the vice dean would do such a thing to him. Was it just to vent his frustrations as his cheap disciple? Or perhaps he wanted to check on the young man's physical condition?

He didn't think an old man would be so interested, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find no women in the Crimson Tower.

As the master of the Crimson Tower, if he wanted to find women, he could find them in abundance.

It's unlikely that he would personally direct the film and have his disciple play the lead role. If that were the case, then his preferences would be truly bizarre.

Ron couldn't quite figure out what the other person was thinking.

He could only pray silently, hoping that the outcome wouldn't be what he imagined.
