Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 82 The Boiling Base

Beast!

Huo Nan was filled with grief and indignation, and almost wanted to roar to the sky.

I've never seen such a freakish guy!

A full twenty-six layers of mage armor!

Even stacking shields isn't as good as you!

Huo Nan used a forbidden move that exhausted all his strength and even sacrificed part of his lifespan. The power was enough to severely injure or even kill a strong person of the same level, but Pei Ze blocked it in this way. How could he not feel grief, anger and resentment?

More importantly, Pei Ze's mage armor was clearly not yet depleted.

Who knows how many layers of mage armor he has?

Faced with such a monstrous opponent, Huo Nan felt utterly powerless and desperate.

On the other side, Su Ya and Peng Yan were already staring blankly, dumbfounded.

When the giant fiery wolf appeared, they could feel its violent and scorching heat even from a distance, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Her heart clenched instantly, fearing that Pei Ze would die from this attack.

But the result was far beyond their expectations.

Pei Ze not only blocked the attack, but also emerged unscathed.

The two looked at each other, and for a moment they both felt as if they were in a dream.

too strong!

Under the admiring gazes of Su Ya and Peng Yan, Pei Ze walked unhurriedly to Huo Nan and looked down at him.

Meeting Pei Ze's indifferent gaze, Huo Nan shuddered violently, and shouted as if waking from a dream, "Wait a minute, I can make it up to you. Just let me go, and you can have anything you want!"

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of sword light appeared before his eyes, and Huo Nan's voice came to an abrupt halt. His head flew off and crashed to the ground, rolling more than ten meters before coming to a stop.

His pale face was still frozen with deep despair and fear.

Pei Ze didn't even glance at it. With a flick of his sword, the dimensional bag on the corpse sprang up and was put into his pocket.

Then he took the dimensional bag from Li Ke's body before returning to the previous spot and picking up the animated shield from the ground.

After carefully checking everything, Pei Ze breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the activation shield only temporarily ran out of energy and can be restored by using mental energy to nurture it for a period of time.

It must be admitted that Huo Nan's final blow was incredibly powerful.

Not only did it break through the activation shield, but it also completely depleted the Mist Raven inside Mist Feather's body. It's estimated that it won't be able to recover for at least half a month.

Even so, the remaining power still managed to break through more than twenty layers of his mage armor before finally dissipating.

If it were an ordinary level three wizard apprentice, facing this attack would most likely result in being reduced to ashes.

"Although legendary knights are not as powerful as formal wizards, they should not be underestimated. These people may have some powerful trump cards up their sleeves."

Pei Ze sighed inwardly.

That's what he said, but he didn't actually feel much tension.

Even though his mage armor had been completely broken, he still had a layer of heavy magical armor protecting him.

The magic armor's magic resistance also provides considerable resistance to elemental forces.

Huo Nan's attack was destined not to seriously injure him.

With a long sigh of relief, Pei Ze turned to Su Ya and Peng Yan, who were walking over, and said, "Let's go back to the camp."

Without waiting for their response, he turned and walked towards the camp.

Su Ya and Peng Yan quickly followed.

After tonight's events, the two's admiration and awe for Pei Ze have reached a new level.

To kill two legendary knights in one night is an incredibly impressive feat.

Among the third-level wizard apprentices participating in the operation, who else besides Pei Ze could do it?

On the way to the camp, Pei Ze took out a piece of paper and wrote down what had happened that night. He left a secret mark at the end and then used magic to turn the paper into a silver butterfly, which he then handed to Su Ya.

"Take it to the gate of the Tower Academy, then release it. It will find its own recipient."

Suya immediately agreed, carefully taking the butterfly cage in her palm, and then quickly rushed towards the Tower Academy.

Pei Ze and Peng Yan continued on their way to the city guard's garrison.

Just as the two were about to arrive at their base, a dark figure suddenly streaked across the distance like a shooting star.

Peng Yan's expression tightened, and he subconsciously drew his weapon to try to stop the dark figure, but Pei Ze stopped him.

Pei Ze slowly extended his palm.

The next moment, the shadowy figure instantly transformed from extremely fast to extremely still, landing lightly on the back of his hand.

It was a night owl.

Its dark, bright eyes stared silently at Pei Ze, and it slowly opened its mouth, but the sound it made was a deep, resonant human male voice.

"I already know about what happened, and I will handle the rest. You can go back to your post without worry."

It was Mo Weng's voice.

"Yes, teacher," Pei Ze replied respectfully.

The owl nodded slightly, flapped its wings, and soared into the sky, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Only then did Su Ya rush over from afar.

Judging from her panting, she had clearly run at full speed the whole way.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Pei Ze nodded to her, then led the two into the camp.

Before long, the camp became like boiling oil that had been doused with water, quickly boiling and noisy.

"What?"

Gu Lin, who had just returned from outside, was so shocked by Fan He's words that she almost jumped up on the spot, her beautiful face filled with disbelief.

"Did Pei Ze kill the Drinker?"

"It's absolutely true!" Fan He exclaimed in astonishment. "The news has spread throughout the entire camp, and the body of the mad drinker has already been brought back to the camp."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin had no more doubts and stood there stunned.

She knew Pei Ze was strong, but she never imagined he would be this strong.

That was a legendary knight-level powerhouse!

Even with her gem magic, she could only hold off the drinker for a while at most; killing him was absolutely impossible!

But Pei Ze actually did it!

Just how much strength is that guy hiding?

Gu Lin murmured softly.

Suddenly, she remembered something, and her expression changed instantly.

Oh no, the bet!

Gu Lin's face fell completely.

The Drinker is worth a whopping 1000 merit points!

With these merit points, Pei Ze has already secured the win of the bet.

Even if she were to eliminate all the heretics in the northern district now, she still wouldn't be able to gain more merit points than Pei Ze.

The outcome of this bet is no longer in doubt.

"We still lost."

Gu Lin gritted his teeth inwardly, feeling utterly dejected.

Fan He gave her a strange look: "What's wrong? You don't look too good."

"It's nothing." Gu Lin waved his hand weakly and casually asked, "Where's Pei Ze? Where is he now?"

"They're with Commander Yan." Fan He's expression suddenly turned extremely strange.

Gu Lin, observing this, asked curiously, "What is it? Does Commander Yan want to see Pei Ze about something?"

Fan He coughed and said, "It's because of Huo Nan."

Gu Lin frowned: "Is Huo Nan targeting Pei Ze again? He's like a persistent ghost!"

"His spirit has probably dissipated by now," Fan He said with a strange expression. "In fact, Pei Ze killed not only one drinker last night, but also Huo Nan."

"What?!"

Gu Lin was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly realized the meaning of those words and was immediately dumbfounded.

Coming to her senses, she quickly asked what had happened.

Fan He had no choice but to recount the entire story he had heard.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin's mouth was almost agape, and she remained speechless for a long time.

Huo Nan colluded with Crazy Drinker, offering to help Crazy Drinker escape from the North District in exchange for Crazy Drinker assassinating Pei Ze. However, Huo Nan ended up being killed by Pei Ze along with Crazy Drinker!

What kind of fantastical story is this?

That's just too absurd!

Gu Lin suddenly felt a dreamlike, dazed feeling.

Fan He was not surprised at all by Gu Lin's reaction; in fact, he felt a sense of empathy for him.

When he first heard about this from other people, he almost thought he had misheard.

"Junior Pei Ze is quite the hidden talent; it seems I underestimated him before."

Fan He looked emotional.

"As expected, those who can be accepted as disciples by Lord Mo are all geniuses with talents far exceeding those of ordinary people!"

There was Yin Xue, who was about to be promoted to wizard with the highest level of advanced meditation before she even graduated.

Now, there's another one: Pei Ze, a third-level wizard apprentice who has killed two legendary knight-level powerhouses.

The students in Mo Weng's lineage are all outstanding.

Gu Lin's thoughts were somewhat complicated.

Normally, others would feel the blow from her, but since meeting Pei Ze, she has been the one feeling the gap between them.

Now she suddenly understood how those wizard apprentices usually felt about her.

Seeing Gu Lin's gloomy expression, Fan He immediately guessed what she was thinking.

"Accept reality, Gu Lin. You are a genius, that's true, but Pei Ze is a monster who is even more amazing than a genius. Comparing yourself to him is just asking for trouble. It's better to relax."

Gu Lin remained silent, feeling somewhat helpless.

How can there be such a monstrous person in this world?

Back when Senior Yin Xue was a freshman, she probably didn't have this kind of ability, right?

Just as Fan He said, the news of Pei Ze killing two legendary knight-level powerhouses spread like wildfire throughout the entire camp, causing a huge uproar.

Not only the wizard apprentices and knight cadets participating in the operation, but even the city guards were in an uproar.

This matter, in particular, involved the secret collusion between a high-ranking military governor and heretics, and it caused a huge uproar in the area like a bomb being dropped.

Now, walking around the base, you can hear people discussing this everywhere.

Command Center, Top Floor Office

Yan Zhen stood by the window, looking at the whispering crowd below, his expression unreadable.

A moment later, he turned to look at Dai Long on the sofa, his gaze sweeping over the recording ring on the coffee table.

"Finished watching?"

Dai Long nodded slightly and said with a sigh, "Huo Nan's defeat was not unjust."

"Who would have thought that a third-level wizard apprentice who has been promoted for less than two months would have such strength? Honan has really bitten off more than he can chew this time."

Yan Zhen said with a deep look in his eyes, "I told him a long time ago, don't get involved in the fights between wizards. If we get involved with those monsters, we won't have enough lives."

Dai Long nodded in deep agreement.

These legendary knights may seem high and mighty, and incredibly powerful, but to the wizards, they are nothing more than slightly stronger ants.

Let alone wizards, even a level three wizard apprentice has the ability to kill them.

If they were to get involved in a conflict between wizards, they wouldn't be able to withstand even the slightest aftershock.

Huo Nan, that idiot, was fooled by Pei Yonggao's promise of some benefits and lost his way. He didn't even think about it properly. Even if he eventually succeeded in killing Pei Ze, would Pei Yonggao be able to protect him?

Innocent!

Mo Weng, a dignified fifth-tier alchemist, if he really wanted to deal with a legendary knight, not even Pei Yonggao or the Pei family could stop him.

Can the Pei family really protect him every single moment?

From the moment Huo Nan agreed to Pei Yonggao's request and took action against Pei Ze, he was already a dead man.

Dai Long looked out the window and sighed softly to himself.

The true masters of this city, and indeed this world, have always been the wizards.

These knights, if they keep a low profile, will live longer.

While the entire base was in an uproar because of Pei Ze, the person involved locked himself in his room and buried himself in counting his spoils.

There are two dimensional bags in total.

Li Ke's dimensional bag contained the most miscellaneous items, including food, water, clothes, and various other daily necessities.

Clearly, this guy is prepared to hide for a long time.

Unfortunately, none of these things were ever used in the end.

Pei Ze didn't even bother with it, and casually tossed it aside, intending to clean it up later.

In terms of money, there were more than thirty magic stone coins, more than a thousand gold coins, and some loose silver and copper coins.

There were also more than thirty bottles of potions, but they were all non-tiered potions, worth only a few hundred gold coins.

Besides that, there were some materials, but not many of them were valuable.

"A supposedly heavy drinker, yet he doesn't even have fifty magic stone coins to his name. He's really living a miserable life."

Pei Ze secretly grumbled to himself.

However, after carefully checking the materials, he suddenly noticed several metal ingots.

These metal ingots are bright silver in color, smooth and cool to the touch, and very hard and heavy to the touch.

Pei Ze examined it for a while, and his eyes gradually brightened.

"Silver Dragon Tungsten Iron!"

Silver Dragon Tungsten Iron is a rare metallic material.

This metal has excellent ductility when melted and extremely high hardness when cooled. It also has excellent mental conductivity, comparable to mithril, and is therefore often used to make magical weapons.

Adding a small amount of Silver Dragon Tungsten Iron when crafting magical weapons can significantly improve their quality.

As a result, Silver Dragon Tungsten Iron is very popular among enchanters, and consequently, its price is very high.

One kilogram of Silver Dragon Tungsten Iron is worth as much as fifteen Magic Stone Coins, almost equivalent to a Micro-Light level magic item.

The three pieces of silver dragon tungsten iron in Pei Ze's hand weighed at least seven or eight kilograms and were worth hundreds of magic stone coins, more expensive than everything else in the dimensional bag combined.

"So this is the most valuable treasure after all."

Pei Ze smiled with delight and silently apologized to Li Ke in his heart.

I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have called you a poor wretch.

After packing his things away, Pei Ze immediately checked Huo Nan's dimensional bag.

Compared to the heavy drinkers, the military governor was far more wealthy.

There are hundreds of magic stone coins alone, and seven or eight thousand gold coins.

There are more than two hundred bottles of various medicines.

Among them, the two most popular potions among knights, Dragon Blood Potion and Boiling Blood Potion, totaled nearly thirty bottles.

Pei Ze roughly estimated that the total value of the items in Huo Nan's dimensional bag exceeded 120 magic stone coins.

With the addition of Li Ke's dimensional bag, Pei Ze's harvest this time was nearly three hundred magic stone coins, almost equivalent to selling four or five batches of potions.

"No wonder so many people like to kill and rob; the money comes too quickly."

Pei Ze was filled with emotion.

Of course, high returns are often accompanied by high risks.

Without sufficient power, those who commit murder and robbery often become the ones who are killed and robbed.

After sorting out his spoils and contentedly storing them in his dimensional bag, Pei Ze stretched and looked out the window.

"I wonder how things are going with the teacher?"

Pei Ze pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

Since the teacher said he would handle it, I just need to relax and wait.

Instead of worrying about this, you should think about merit points.

During the initial sweep operation, Pei Ze gradually earned more than two hundred merit points.

Adding the more than 700 from the previous encirclement and suppression operation, the total is just over 1,000 merit points.

The reward for killing the Drunkard this time is a full 1,000 merit points.

In total, he had over two thousand merit points, enough to exchange for a spot in the Realm of Truth.

Thinking of this, Pei Ze couldn't help but smile.

In truth, it was all thanks to Huo Nan. If he hadn't "sent" me a Drinker, I would never have been able to accumulate enough merit points to exchange for a spot in the Realm of Truth.

Now, not only have they secured the spot, but they've also won their bet with Gu Lin, making it a double celebration.

Thinking of Gu Lin's depressed look, Pei Ze's smile deepened.
