Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 153 Revenge is a Swift Act, Acquiring Knowledge of Alchemy Marks

The lightning faded, and the thunder ceased.

The wilderness quickly returned to silence.

Yin Guang stared blankly at the scene in the distance, his expression still somewhat dazed.

The fourth-rank priest who had caused such heavy casualties to their team was dealt with so easily by Pei Ze.

From start to finish, Maynard was completely outmatched!

This scene was beyond his imagination!

"That's amazing!" Yin Guang muttered to himself unconsciously.

Su Ya and Peng Yan, who were standing next to him, were also full of admiration, but they were not very surprised.

After all, they had seen similar scenes countless times, and in their eyes, Pei Ze had long become synonymous with invincibility.

Pei Ze reached out and summoned the lotus-shaped ice crystals, which rose from the ground and landed in his palm.

The moment I touched it, a bone-chilling coldness immediately seeped through my skin.

Even with Pei Ze's physical strength, his palms felt slightly numb.

"What an astonishing chill."

Pei Ze clicked his tongue in amazement.

If anyone below the level of a legendary knight were to touch this quasi-divine artifact, they would probably be frozen solid in an instant.

If even quasi-divine artifacts are this powerful, I wonder how powerful the legendary divine artifacts are?

Pei Ze was somewhat curious.

But that's just wishful thinking. With the power of the artifact, even a fourth-rank priest would probably be no match for it.

If he were to encounter this now, it probably wouldn't be a good thing.

"The faith power of this quasi-divine artifact is also very strong; it is estimated that at least seven or eight faith crystals can be extracted from it."

A satisfied smile flashed in Pei Ze's eyes.

Although faith crystals are not required to advance to the second level wizard, once you become a second level wizard, you will still need a lot of faith crystals, whether in the vaporization or liquefaction stage. Such things are definitely better the more you have.

After putting away the lotus ice crystals, Pei Ze turned and walked towards the castle.

Suya and her two companions, leading the giant eagle, came to greet them.

"Let's go back," Pei Ze said calmly.

The group then boarded the giant eagle and flew swiftly towards Red Maple City.

When Red Maple City came into view, Yin Guang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

When they made up their minds to follow Pei Ze out to seek revenge, they never imagined that they would successfully kill their target and return in less than a day.

This efficiency is simply astonishing.

Yin Guang could already imagine the astonished expressions on the faces of the wizards in the witch hunters' army when they learned of this.

And it turned out just as he had predicted.

When they saw them return, Gao Qun and the others, who were still in the living room of the stone house, were stunned.

The witch asked instinctively, "Didn't you leave the city? How come you're here so quickly?"

The last sentence was left unsaid, but it was assumed that Pei Ze had not found Maynard and that she was trying to save face for him.

However, Pei Ze's next words left her stunned.

"Maynard has been killed by me."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Gao Qun, was stunned, their first reaction being disbelief.

Just kidding!

You've only been out for less than a day, how could you find your target so quickly?

Even if we're lucky enough to find it, the other party is wielding a near-divine artifact and is accompanied by a large group of battle priests. How could we possibly kill them so easily?

Judging from Pei Ze's appearance, he doesn't look like he's just been through a major battle.

However, when Gao Qun cast a questioning look at Yin Guang, the latter nodded with a strange expression.

"Maynard has indeed been killed by Lord Peize, as have those battle priests who attacked us before."

If that statement wasn't enough to convince everyone, then the lotus-shaped ice crystal that Pei Ze then took out dispelled the last trace of doubt in their hearts.

Those who experienced that ambush have a profound impression of this quasi-divine artifact.

Even Gao Qun, who was not directly involved, could clearly feel the intense divine grace contained within the lotus ice crystal, far surpassing that of ordinary sacred artifacts, making it undoubtedly a quasi-divine artifact.

Seeing this, everyone had no more doubts, and their gazes toward Pei Ze were filled with undisguised shock and awe.

That's incredible!

Revenge should not be delayed!

The key point is that the target of his revenge is a fourth-rank combat priest of the hunting force, a powerful figure who wields a quasi-divine artifact.

Even a powerhouse of this level can be killed without hesitation!

Yin Xue's junior brother is absolutely incredible!

Pei Ze was used to this kind of gaze and didn't pay it any mind. He asked in a low voice, "How is Senior Yin Xue?"

The witch snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, "I've already taken the Moonlight Water, and the divine grace within me has mostly dissipated. I estimate I should be fine after four or five days of recovery."

Pei Ze breathed a slight sigh of relief: "That's good."

Knowing that Yin Xue was alright, Pei Ze felt relieved. Not wanting to stay here and be stared at like a rare animal, he said to Yin Guang, "I'll come to see you again in a few days, senior," and then turned and left.

It was already dark outside.

A crescent moon, like a silver platter, hung high in the sky; the stars and moon in this alternate dimension were not much different from those in the Wizarding Dimension.

Seeing that it was already late, Pei Ze gave up the idea of ​​visiting Guo Qi and instead headed towards the mission hall.

Although today's objective was to kill Maynard, we also destroyed several Turin fortifications, thus completing a few missions. Why not take the rewards?

When Pei Ze came out of the mission hall, he had more than 6,000 merit points in his chip card.

For the vast majority of first-level wizards, this is an enormous fortune.

But for Pei Ze now, it's just so-so.

"Trading knowledge from Guo Qi will probably cost a lot of merit points."

"Silver Star also needs to be upgraded. With my current mental energy level, I should be able to use a Tier 3 magical artifact normally. The combination of three standard-quantity metals will cost about four thousand merit points."

"There are also alchemy engravings, and the materials alone cost a considerable amount."

After calculating it this way, Pei Ze found that there was still a large shortage of merit points.

"The statement that a wizard's power is largely built up from resources is indeed true."

This statement is even more fitting when applied to Pei Ze.

Ultimately, the reason he was able to possess such immense power to fight beyond his level was because he consumed a massive amount of resources.

The all-knowing eye merely gave him the initial capital to acquire resources.

With power comes resources, which in turn allows for faster improvement in strength, leading to even more resources and creating a virtuous cycle.

Once you enter the interdimensional battlefield, this becomes even more apparent due to the intense and brutal competition.

Pei Ze's strength only improved by leaps and bounds after he came here.

In just about nine months, he was already close to the threshold of advancing to the second level of wizard.

"However, I am still far behind those high-level wizards who are active on the main battlefield."

Pei Ze looked up at the night sky, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

No matter how many or how well these first and second-level wizards complete their missions, they can only have a negligible impact on this war.

Even the two armies currently locked in a standoff on the main battlefield are not the main factors determining the outcome of this war.

Ultimately, the outcome of a war is determined by the top-tier military strength of the two civilizations.

In this multiverse era where the upper limit of individual power is extremely high, and powerful beings can even easily destroy a plane, the power of the group is not as important as many people think.

Sometimes, a single strong individual is enough to determine the outcome of a dimensional war.

The reason this war did not escalate into a showdown between the two sides' top combat forces was simply because neither the Winter Frost Cult nor the Red Maple City and White Ice City had the confidence to kill the other side's top combat forces, so they all chose to wait for the right opportunity.

Once that opportunity arrives and the top combat forces of both sides determine the victor, the war will most likely come to an end.

After standing there lost in thought for a moment, Pei Ze came to his senses, shook his head, and walked towards his residence, no longer wanting to think about it.

the next day.

Following the address given by Yan Dong, Pei Ze arrived at the door of a stone house located on the edge of a cliff.

The stone house was unusually large, almost three times the size of his living quarters.

It stands out like a crane among chickens among the surrounding 'small' stone houses, and is very conspicuous.

As Pei Ze approached, he sensed the unique energy fluctuations of the warning array.

Sure enough, before they even knocked, the door opened from the inside, and a man who appeared to be a follower came out and asked in a respectful but not servile manner, "May I ask what brings you here?"

According to the information fed back from the All-Knowing Eye, this man is a third-tier legendary knight.

"My name is Pei Ze. I have come to visit Lord Guo Qi."

Upon hearing the name Pei Ze, a strange light flashed in the man's eyes. After looking Pei Ze up and down a few times, his expression became more respectful.

"Please wait a moment."

Just as the man was about to turn around and go inside to report, a voice came from inside.

"Please invite the guests in."

The man paused, respectfully replied, and then turned to the side in a leading gesture.

"Please come in, Lord Pei Ze."

Pei Ze nodded and stepped inside.

The interior of the stone house was indeed much larger than his living quarters.

Upon entering, there is a long corridor leading to a spacious, bright, and luxuriously decorated living room, clearly indicating that the homeowner is very wealthy.

This is not surprising, as enchanters, like apothecaries, are widely recognized as one of the wealthiest groups among wizards.

Not to mention that Guo Qi is a third-tier enchanter, and probably many third-tier wizards are not as wealthy as him.

Pei Ze walked into the living room and was greeted by a fat middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.

Upon seeing Pei Ze, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a beaming smile.

"I've long heard that a genius wizard has emerged in our Dawn City, and I've wanted to meet him for a long time. Today, my wish has finally come true."

The knight who led Pei Ze in showed a hint of surprise on his face.

This was the first time he had ever seen his master so enthusiastic towards a level one wizard.

But then I thought about it again and felt relieved.

Rumor has it that although Pei Ze is only a first-level wizard, his true strength is comparable to that of a second-level wizard.

Furthermore, he is a second-tier pharmacist.

With such strength and status at such a young age, it's no wonder the master treated him so warmly.

"You flatter me, Lord Guo Qi." Pei Ze smiled and shook hands with Guo Qi.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sat down facing each other.

After the servant served the red tea and left, Guo Qi smiled and said, "You just said you wanted to see me. What is it?"

Pei Ze got straight to the point: "I've been studying alchemical engravings lately and need some knowledge in this area. I thought Lord Guo Qi might have something I need, so I took the liberty of coming to visit."

A hint of surprise flashed in Guo Qi's eyes as he said, "You also have knowledge of enchanting?"

He only knew that Pei Ze was a highly talented second-tier alchemist, but he had never heard that Pei Ze could also enchant.

Pei Ze smiled slightly, lifted his clothes to reveal the magic tattoo on his arm.

"Magic Tattoo. Wow! What a unique design!"

Guo Qi only glanced at it a few times before immediately noticing the strangeness of the magic tattoo on Pei Ze's arm.

Unlike ordinary high-level magic tattoos, this one appears to have undergone some modifications.

"Did you improve upon this yourself?"

"That's right," Pei Ze said, half-jokingly. "To make the magic tattoo more suitable for my physique, I made some slight modifications."

Upon hearing this, Guo Qi's expression changed slightly, and his gaze towards Pei Ze was filled with amazement.

Learning to create magical tattoos isn't difficult; it's just a matter of practice makes perfect. Any enchanter can do it as long as their mental energy level meets the standard.

Modifying magical tattoos is a different story; it's something you can't do unless your enchanting skills are exceptionally refined.

Based on this alone, Pei Ze has already surpassed the vast majority of second-tier enchanters!

A genius wizard who is both a second-tier alchemist and a second-tier enchanter!

Guo Qi was deeply amazed.

Both enchanting and potion-making are profound and complex disciplines.

It's already quite remarkable for an ordinary wizard to be proficient in even one of them.

He had never seen a genius like Pei Ze, who was only eighteen years old and had reached the second level in two subjects at the same time.

In an instant, Guo Qi's opinion of Pei Ze rose even higher.

Clearing his throat, Guo Qi smiled and said, "I do have comprehensive knowledge about alchemical engravings, and I can trade with you on that. But as you know, knowledge about alchemical engravings is much more valuable than magical tattoos, and the price is not low."

Pei Ze's spirits lifted, and he said seriously, "Name your price, how about we trade using merit points?"

Unexpectedly, Guo Qi shook his head: "I don't want merit points."

Pei Ze raised an eyebrow: "Then what do you want?"

A strange glint flashed in Guo Qi's eyes as he stared intently at Pei Ze and said, "I heard you obtained a quasi-divine artifact yesterday. How about we trade that for it?"

Pei Ze was taken aback; the news had spread quite quickly.

At the same time, he finally understood why Guo Qi was so enthusiastic when he saw him.

Besides his strength and status, it turns out he also had his eye on that quasi-divine artifact.

The only use of the lotus ice crystal for Pei Ze is to refine faith crystals. If he could exchange it for knowledge about alchemical engravings, Pei Ze would be more than willing.

Of course, it's impossible to let Guo Qi off so easily.

In terms of faith crystals alone, the Lotus Ice Crystal is already worth seven or eight thousand merit points, not to mention the value of its accompanying otherworldly civilization enchantment craftsmanship, which is quite attractive to most enchanters.

If the asking price is 20,000 merit points, I'm sure there will be enchanters willing to buy it.

While knowledge of alchemy engravings is valuable, it's far from worth 20,000 merit points.

Guo Qi understood this as well, and then said, "Of course, I won't take advantage of you. I'll add an extra 15,000 merit points, how about that?"

Pei Ze's eyes flickered slightly, he pondered for a few seconds, and then nodded emphatically.

"make a deal!"
