Zongman: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Fulilian

"Eh? Why?"

"Because there's no bounty on Wiz. It's useless for you to catch him."

"What?"

Aqua asked Darkness in disbelief: "Is what he said true?"

“It is indeed true.” Darkness nodded. “So among the Demon King’s officers with bounties on their namesake, there is no one named Wiz or Lich.”

"how come......"

Aqua lost motivation in an instant. She silently let go of Wiz and murmured, "Why are you so useless? Aren't you a lich?"

“You can’t blame me…” Wiz retorted weakly.

"You're not lying, are you? Your name isn't even Wiz?"

“My real name is Wiz. Although I’m a lich and a cadre of the Demon King’s army, it’s only in name only. Apart from helping to maintain the barrier of the Demon King’s castle, I don’t do anything else for the Demon King.” Wiz explained hurriedly.

"I don't understand, but it's true that you are a lich. Why don't I get rid of you first?"

"No!"

"Okay, okay, don't scare Miss Wiz." Shi Chen came over and grabbed Aqua with a smile.

"Huh? I'm not trying to scare her."

"...Okay, let's ask first, okay? Be obedient."

"Oh."

"Ms. Weiss, you really have never harmed humans?"

"Really not!" Wiz quickly shook his head.

"So what's that barrier you just mentioned?"

“I know that!” Darkness suddenly interrupted, “There is a barrier protecting the Demon King’s Castle. Humans can’t break through it at all.”

"So, you are protecting the Demon King's Castle?" asked Sato Kazuma.

"I, I was just entrusted by the Demon King... and the barrier is maintained by other cadres, so it has nothing to do with me anymore."

"So if we don't get rid of Miss Wiz, will we be able to defeat the Demon King?" Sato Kazuma continued to ask.

“Really?” Aqua stared at Wiz, ready to make another move.

“Wait! Please wait!” Wiz shouted in panic. “It doesn’t matter whether I’m there or not. With Aqua-sama’s power, it can be easily broken through if only two or three cadres are maintaining it. There are only eight cadres in the Demon King’s army. Just get rid of the others. I don’t want to die yet. I still have things to do!”

"......You guy, are you so afraid of death? And you actually asked us to deal with other cadres? Are you in cahoots with them?" Aqua looked at her with difficulty.

“I, I don’t want to be a cadre of the Demon King’s Army… wuwuwu~” Wiz actually squatted down and started crying.

"Wait, why are you crying? I didn't do anything. You all saw it, right? She was crying on her own." Aqua immediately distanced herself from the matter.

"......Okay, okay, don't cry. Don't worry, no one here wants to kill you." Shichen came to her and comforted her gently.

“Really?” Wiz raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Of course it's true, Aqua, isn't it?"

"Hmph~" Aqua turned her head away but did not deny it.

"You see."

"Mr. Shichen, you are such a good person." Wiz turned from crying to smiling.

"I'm nice, but you can't say I'm a good person."

"?"

"Don't worry about him, he always says weird things." Aqua explained.

"Oh."

Shi Chen let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "Okay, we finally stopped. Let's get down to business."

"Business?" Wiz tilted his head in confusion.

"What else can I do in the magic item shop?"

"Ohh! Welcome!"

"First, tell me what good things you have in your store."

"No problem, please come with me."

Wiz walked to the shelf and began to introduce his props enthusiastically.

"This potion bottle will explode if a strong impact is applied. This bottle will explode as soon as it is opened. This one will explode when it touches water. And this one will explode when it is heated..."

"Why are they all going to explode? This is too dangerous," Sato Kazuma couldn't help but complain.

"Because this is the prop of the explosion series..."

"I, I'm a little interested! Can I buy a few?" Darkness asked Xiang Shichen excitedly.

"Haha~ Of course... No!"

"why is it like this......"

Chapter 149 Learning the Skills of a Lich

Ten minutes later, after Wiz finished introducing the magic items in his shop, everyone except Shichen sat down in silence.

"What's going on with this store?" Sato Kazuma couldn't help but ask.

“That’s fine!” Darkness replied.

"Hehe~hehe~" Youyou smiled awkwardly.

"What's so good about it? They all have side effects! Will anyone really buy it? They must be stupid, right?"

“Eh——really, really?” Wiz asked in shock.

"Why did you buy these props? They all have side effects. Will anyone really buy them?"

"Well, it seems that not many people buy it..."

"Then why did you come in?"

"But, I think these props are pretty good..."

"I see. It turns out that Miss Weiss is a business genius. It's a pity that your store hasn't closed down yet."

"What does ghost mean?"

"I'm just praising you." Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes.

"Really? Thank you, Mr. Sato."

“…” This made Sato Kazuma feel embarrassed.

"Hum~"

Huihui smiled proudly: "Why buy props? Can't I just rely on my explosion magic? External objects are empty, only my explosion magic is what everyone expects!"

"What's the point of only having one shot a day?" Shi Chen held her head and rubbed it.

"Don't we still have you? How come nothing happened when I saw you use it last time? How much magic power do you have?"

"Well... guess what?"

"Tsk~ I won't guess. I just know you're awesome, okay?"

"Hehe~" Shi Chen smiled and continued to rub her little head.

Huihui pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and endured it, but she had no intention of getting rid of it.

"So, the items I sell are actually useless?" Wiz finally realized.

"Nonsense! Even I know that no one will buy it, okay? All I can say is that a lich is a lich and doesn't know how to do business at all." Aqua said with a sneer.

"how come......"

"Don't bring in these useless items anymore, okay?"

"I-I understand...Thank you, Aqua-sama."

"I'm not helping you. I just want to buy some useful items. And you should give me a discount, right? Don't misunderstand me."

"I understand. I will definitely give Aqua-sama a discount in the future."

"You are sensible."

"What's with this textbook tsundere thing?" Sato Kazuma complained.

"After all, Aqua is still very kind-hearted." Shichen looked at Aqua lovingly and smiled.

"No way..." Aqua turned her head away embarrassedly.

"Who is Lady Aqua? Why is she so powerful? Normal people's exorcisms shouldn't work on me." Wiz asked curiously.

As a lich, Wiz's magic defense is very strong. Basically, except for weapons with magic attached, any attack is ineffective against her.

Moreover, just touching her can cause various abnormal conditions and absorption of magic and vitality. She is truly a legendary undead monster.

"Huh? Didn't I tell you? I'm a goddess~" Aqua replied proudly.

"Goddess?" Wiz was stunned for a moment, and looked at Aqua in doubt: "Could it be that Lady Aqua is really a goddess?"

"Hehe~ It's genuine!" Aqua put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest proudly.

"No wonder Lady Aqua's exorcism works on me. It turns out that Lady Aqua is a goddess." Wiz immediately believed what Aqua said. After all, except for the goddess, basically no one could hurt him.

“Yes, huhu~ I think you won’t brag about it, so I’ll tell you. I’m Aqua, the goddess of water. Yes, the goddess worshipped by the Axis Cult! Why don’t you worship me, little lich?”

"Huh--!"

Not only did Wiz not admire Aqua, but she looked scared and even took two steps back.

“What are you doing? You don’t have to be so scared. Although the relationship between the undead and the goddess is very incompatible, it doesn’t have to be like this, right?” Aqua looked at Wiz with dissatisfaction.

“No, that’s not it…”

Wiz quickly waved her hands in denial, and then carefully explained, "Because the followers of the Axis Cult are basically all mentally ill people, it's better not to get involved with them. This is common sense in this world, so... when I heard that you are the goddess worshipped by the Axis Cult, I, I..."
