This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 9 This evil god organization is so rude!

"Oh?"

Old Kom, having packed his things away, lifted his cowboy hat, his slightly cloudy but shrewd eyes scrutinizing Tucker before letting out a low chuckle.

"Well done."

"Those evil god organizations have been increasingly fond of causing trouble in border city-states lately."

"Moreover, local gangs are increasingly losing their sense of propriety."

"They're getting more and more adept at targeting locals."

He took out his pipe, lit it, took a few deep drags, and as smoke billowed around him, old Kom recounted the story with a touch of nostalgia.

"Back then, the locals of the city-state of Lamor Tower were very united."

"And Earl Lamore, oh right, he was Baron Lamore back then."

"He always stood on the front line of the city walls, using his magic to fight against those filthy creatures from the underground."

"Use healing magic to heal the injured superhumans."

"We will also deliver food to families who have no food during the gray night season."

"Hmm... Count Lamoir, it's been a very, very long time since he left the tower."

"Otherwise, those evil god organizations would absolutely not dare to set foot in the city-state of Lamor Tower."

"Back then, Baron Lamoir's favorite thing to do was to tie the followers of evil gods to a cross in the center of the city and pour a thick layer of black oil on the pile of timber."

"Then, in the most simple and primitive way, end the sinful life of the believer in the evil god."

"Hehe... I'm getting old, so I always like to ramble on a bit."

"Of all the young people I know, you're the only one who has the patience to listen."

After knocking the ash out of his pipe, old Kom straightened up.

"Just yesterday, that group intensified their hunting of wizards."

"They've even started inquiring about the more powerful wizards inside the Wizarding Tower of Lamor."

"You're probably already on the list."

"Furthermore, a wizard was hunted down yesterday in the Earthhound District."

"How dare they?" Tucker frowned slightly.

"They even dragged us out and killed while we were hiding at home...this group of evil god organizations is so rude!"

"Heh... They're an evil god organization. They'd even sacrifice an entire city-state. What else wouldn't they do?" Old Kom chuckled.

"Aren't there any local wizards resisting?" Tucker frowned slightly.

"There was a group of wizards who formed a small organization."

"Unfortunately, everything went smoothly inside, but as soon as they stepped outside, they were sold."

"And then... and then that was it." Old Kom chuckled.

"Now, many wizards are either running away or hiding."

"Knowing that someone is hunting, yet still daring to come out, and even daring to advance in rank, you're basically the only one left."

"You..."

Old Kom lowered his voice and leaned forward.

"Interested in the steam core—the upgrade material for that evil god organization?"

"How could I possibly have such a bold idea? I'm just an ordinary apprentice wizard." Tucker spread his hands, giving him a look that said, "Don't wrong me."

"You probably don't even believe what you're saying yourself."

Old Kom smiled.

"If you really want to advance to the next rank, I can offer some assistance."

"At least it can guarantee the safety of your promotion process."

After thinking about it, Tucker finally shook his head.

"You've already given me enough information, how could I possibly trouble you further?"

"If you could have this attitude when you were bargaining, I'd live at least two more years," old Kom said irritably.

Saying goodbye to old Colm.

Walking through the underground street, which is not wide but also not crowded.

Tucker used his powerful Precision to perfectly conceal his Wizard Sequence traits.

Tucker has now begun to apply the "Precision trait" to various aspects, including sequences, energy sources, and even physical control.

He concealed his identity as a wizard.

This way, at least I can walk safely through the underground streets.

Rather than being secretly shot by some hunter.

"I originally wanted to complete the advanced training at home."

"It now seems that the Earth Nest District has been completely ensnared by the evil god organization."

"One second you advance in a new level, the next second those evil god organizations will come knocking on your door to check your water meter."

"A bunch of lawless bastards. Wait until I advance in rank, and you'll all get what's coming to you."

Tucker rubbed his temples, pondering the location for his next advancement to a first-tier wizard.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than difficulties.

At worst, we can go deep underground and squeeze in with the kobolds.

Alternatively, Tucker might have several prepared hiding places deep in the wilderness.

Tucker was also afraid that he might have disturbed the Demon King's seal and caused an accident.

We've explored several alternative paths.

The Demon King sealing incident prevented Tucker from using these backup plans.

On the contrary, the evil god organization is wreaking havoc in the city-state of Lamor, so these backup plans are needed.

"It's just an evil god organization hunting in the city-state of Lamor."

"Those decent underground areas beneath the steam tower would be good hiding places."

"That's it!"

Tucker had a pretty good hiding place in his mind.

It's safe and warm there.

The only problem is that there are a lot of rats there.

If it were before, Tucker might not have dared to approach that place.

But it possesses S-level [precision], similar to a lock pick.

Tucker had enough financial resources to build a large three-bedroom, two-living-room house there.

…………

He was carrying the lantern he had taken from old Colm.

Tucker sneaked into a crypt near the Tower District.

The lantern at dusk illuminated the dark passageway.

Tucker walked forward at a leisurely pace.

"The range of S-level extraordinary talents is 200%-500%."

"The range of SS-level extraordinary talents is 500%-1000%."

"My S-rank extraordinary talent is 478%. With 7.2 fragments per day, I can reach SS-rank in a few more days."

"Once we cross the 500% threshold, there should be a significant transformation."

"At that time, whether it's advancing to a first-tier wizard or in terms of combat after the advancement, it will be stronger."

As Tucker stealthily moved forward, some skeletons began to appear in the passage, which was five or six meters high and three or four meters wide.

As they continued their journey, they encountered more and more skeletons.

There were human skeletons, black rat skeletons, goblin skeletons, and gnome skeletons, but the most numerous were those of "kobolds".

Deep underground in the city-state of Lamor Tower.

In the underground city area, there is a rather large kobold tribe.

Those kobolds, who were capable of eating and procreation, were quite dissatisfied with the Lamor Tower on the surface.

This forced the Lamor Tower to build a "crypt defense line".

Soon, the rocks and soil on the ground were completely buried by the skeletons.

Tucker raised the lantern.

Under the dim light of the glass lantern.

A thin mist of the dead permeated the passageway.

The ground was covered with skeletons, and the walls on both sides, and even the ceiling of the passage, were also "embedded" with a large number of skeletons.

"The Bone Passage".

That's the name of this mysterious and dangerous underground passage.

The smell of death wafted through Tucker's nostrils.

Tucker could even hear rustling sounds.

That was the sound of a "skull rat" foraging among the bones.

Yes, there are a lot of rats here, specifically the "skull rats".
