The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord

Chapter 123

When I opened the door, what caught Lin En's eyes was a huge underground bar.

It is completely different from the dead and dilapidated appearance outside, and it is brightly lit and lively.

The air was filled with the strong aroma of wine and various mixed breaths, and the sound of conversation, clinking cups, and even vague disputes and crazy laughter.

The hall was filled with various figures, dressed in different clothes and a mixed breath.

There were also many people sitting on the small compartment and leather sofa in the distance, some chatting softly, some looking alert, and more, immersed in the atmosphere of alcohol and negotiation.

Lynn stepped in, catching the heavy smell of alcohol in the air at the tip of his nose.

Although he was not addicted to alcohol and did not study alcohol deeply, at this moment, just smelling the mellow fragrance made him feel a little strange desire.

His eyes swept casually and landed on the bar on the left.

There were several drinkers sitting in front of the bar, with colorful wine glasses placed in front of them, and the wine was charmingly radiant under the dim light.

And behind the bartender, a bartender was looking at him with a smile.

The man was wearing dark clothes that were tailored, with cold facial features and a bit of playful look in his eyes. He was obviously a veteran who had seen countless people.

"Sir, I'm glad to serve you. I wonder what I want to order?"

The voice was steady and calm, but Lynn was slightly stunned.

This sentence is not the common term for the human race, but the language of the wizard world!

A strange look flashed under Lynn's mask, but he quickly recovered as usual. He casually glanced at the menu on the bar, selected a fresh wine, and spoke calmly:

"Give me a cup of Deqili."

After he finished speaking, he threw out two magic stones casually and watched the bartender mix the wine smoothly and gracefully.

However, his afterglow was always observing the figure in the bar.

The reason why Shanshi City is lively is because it is adjacent to the Atlas Mountains, and there is a pass to the territory of the Black Wizard.

Therefore, the guests in this bar are not limited to residents of nearby countries, but are mostly travelers from the territory of the Black Wizard.

Even more than humans!

Lynn just glanced around and saw several familiar and strange figures in the corner.

Being familiar means being familiar only in the information; being unfamiliar means feeling unfamiliar after meeting.

Dwarves, elves, orcs... there are even rare mixed-race species!

The development of the wizard world has always been inclusive and expanded. Although humans occupy the mainstream position, wizards are not the only profession of humans. Many powerful wizards have also been born among major races.

And it is precisely because the guests in the bar come from different countries and races, and their languages ​​are different.

At this time, the only thing that allows them to communicate smoothly is the wizard language!

After all, as long as you embark on the path of wizard practice, you will naturally learn this language.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Lynn tapped the table gently and watched quietly as the bartender skillfully prepare the wine.

White rum, lemon juice and sugar water mixed in his hands, and transparent ice cubes gently collided in the shaker, making a crisp sound, fully blending with the wine.

After a moment, a cup of light yellow wine slowly poured into the delicate glass, and the ice cubes gently rotated in the cup, refracting a slight yellow-green luster. Above it is also decorated with half a piece of lemon, fresh and pleasant.

Lynn took the glass, raised it to his lips, and slurped it slightly.

First, a touch of sourness exploded on the tip of the tongue, and then, there was a hint of gentle sweetness in the sourness, and the aftertaste was long.

The wine slipped into his throat, and the unique flavor flowed between the taste buds, and what surprised Lynn even more was—

This glass of wine has a faint effect of promoting mental activity!

"Good wine."

Lynn nodded in praise, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The bartender smiled and said nothing, as if every word of praise from the guest was the greatest praise for his skills.

Lynn held the wine glass, turned the ice cubes casually, and then spoke with a smile:

"How much is the cost of clearance now?"

His tone was casual, his fingers moved slightly, and several magic stones fell on the bar, emitting a faint luster.

However, the bartender smiled slightly and did not reach out to collect it, but gently pushed the magic stone back.

“We do not charge any additional fees for guests.”

This attitude made Lin En a little interested.

"Then let's make two more drinks for me."

Lynn smiled softly and said casually:

"Give a glass of Negroni and another glass of penicillin."

"Okay, please wait for a moment."

This time, the bartender took the magic stone, and while processing the materials skillfully, he spoke slowly, with a casual and calm tone:

"The customs clearance fee for our side is 100 magic stones, which only provides access to the pass, but after entering, you may encounter various dangers in the Atlas Mountains..."

"Of course, if you want to be safer, we also provide a 'direct access to the Atlas Mountains' service, and we arrange manual escorts to ensure that you arrive at the territory of the White Wizard safely. The price is slightly more expensive, with 800 magic stones per person."

"Finally, we also have high-end services to "pass through the Atlas Mountains", accompanied by real wizards, escorting to the Red Swamp, charging 3,000 magic stones per person."

The bartender stated in a steady tone, as if introducing an ordinary commodity transaction.

However, after hearing these words, Lin En's heart was slightly shaken.

Has this pass become so market-oriented and humane?

Whether going to the White Wizard's territory or going deep into the Red Swamp, you can get corresponding protection services by paying?

As long as there are enough magic stones, the risks along the way can be minimized, and it can even be said that there is no need to worry about safety issues at all.

Lin En's eyes swept over the many figures in the hall, and he sighed slightly in his heart:

"The wizard who manages this pass is really a talent..."

You know, the Atlas Mountains were once the most intense front line of the fierce battle between the Black Wizard and the White Wizard. The major forces had set up many defense lines here and were on high alert.

But now, this place has become a passage where money transactions are supreme.

There are countless travelers coming in and out every year, and the hidden benefits are probably an astronomical amount of magic stone wealth...

………………………………

"Give me an admission certificate of 100 magic stones."

Lin En opened his mouth, and with a flick of his wrist, a mid-level magic stone gently fell on the bar, emitting a faint glow - this is equivalent to the value of 100 ordinary magic stones.

"Okay."

The bartender smiled and put away the magic stone, then took out a palm-sized black sign from under the counter and gently handed it to Lin En.

"If you want to leave, just go through that door."

Lin En followed his gaze and saw that there was indeed an inconspicuous black wooden door on one side of the tavern. There were several obscure runes inlaid on the door frame, faintly emitting weak energy fluctuations.

He nodded and put away the black sign.

This admission token is just a certificate that allows the holder to pass through the pass here.

But the real test is the Atlas Mountains outside the pass.

That mountain range is full of dangers. Whether crossing the mountains to the White Wizard Territory or crossing to the Red Swamp, it is full of murderous intentions.

Because of this, many travelers will choose to form a team in the tavern before officially entering the mountains, trying to keep warm together to increase their survival rate.

However, the temporary team in the tavern is not necessarily reliable.

There is no tacit understanding between each other, and they are always on guard against whether the other party will secretly attack. If they are not careful, they may be backstabbed, abandoned, or even swallowed up all their belongings by their teammates.

In contrast, the escort service provided by the pass is particularly considerate.

As long as you are willing to pay enough magic stones, you can get a safe and stable passage guarantee and avoid all kinds of unnecessary risks.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one content, one look!

But the price is also quite expensive.

Although Lin En is not poor, it is still a bit extravagant to take out three thousand magic stones in one go in exchange for the escort qualification of a formal wizard.

What's more, Reed Swamp is not the end. There are also dangers everywhere, and there are other troubles and dangers.

Moreover... Lin En now has the trump card of "Evgrid". To some extent, he can be regarded as a "pseudo wizard", infinitely close to the level of a formal wizard.

With this confidence, he does not need to spend a lot of money to buy a "safe" route.

"Furnace Stone... I don't know if they are chasing me now..."

Lin En's eyes under the mask condensed slightly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, he has no protection of witchcraft. At first glance, he is just an ordinary third-level apprentice, inconspicuous.

After becoming a formal wizard, the permanent witchcraft mark will be imprinted on the soul, so that the wizard's body will always emit unique energy factor radiation fluctuations, which can be recognized at a glance.

The same is true for Lin En's Evgrid. As long as he activates his power, his body will flash obvious energy factor fluctuations, and he will be directly regarded as a formal wizard.

However, in the [Landscape], Lin En remembered that he was being targeted.

At that time, he was full of the fluctuations of the permanent witchcraft mark. If the people of Furnace Stone remembered him, they would probably treat him as a formal wizard.

Therefore, he was cautious and temporarily suppressed his Ivgrid with the Spirit of the Blue Sky. Now he looks like an ordinary third-level apprentice.

Even if Furnace Stone sent people to hunt him down, they would definitely come up empty-handed and would not find him, a third-level apprentice.

And it would not be too late to unlock the seal after he completely left the Black Wizard Territory.

After all, if he was targeted by the people of Furnace Stone, with his current strength, he would probably have only one way to go.

Of course, he was not worried about the real safety issue.

The Spirit of the Blue Sky was under his control, and sealing and unlocking were just a matter of thought.

………………………………

When the glass was empty, Lin En raised his head slightly, drank the last sip of wine, then stood up, left the bar, and walked towards the sofa booth deep in the hall.

This tavern brought together extraordinary people from all countries and races. It was his first stop to truly enter the wizard world.

At this moment, the scene in the hall can be described as bizarre and strange.

Lin En's eyes swept around and frowned slightly.

Not far away, a dwarf who was only a little over one meter tall was sitting comfortably on the lap of an elf woman. The two were very close, and even... fed wine mouth to mouth. The scene was extremely eye-catching.

And farther away, a human man was hugging a centaur, but her lower body was in human form... The scene was also unbearable to watch.

However, such people are only a few of them after all. Most wizard practitioners are just abnormal and have definitely not reached the level of pervert.

"It should be the goblin clan over there... The first time I saw a living goblin..."

"This Jili Gulu should be the fishman..."

With this opportunity, Lynn also had the opportunity to observe a lot of racial information that was only active in the data.

According to what he read in the book, these are the results of the development of the wizarding world to this day.

To put it nicely, with the expansion and development of the wizard world, these races have gradually integrated into the wizard world.

To put it bluntly, it is that the wizard world continues to invade many worlds and planes, and store a large number of races.

For example, those goblin races, in ancient times, ancient wizards invaded the goblins' homes and developed a new profession of underground wizards...

After countless years of development, some races are qualified to practice wizards and are gradually accepted by the wizard world and become members of the wizard world...

Lynn walked through the hall, not wandering around, but looking for information on team formation purposefully.

Just now, the bartender reminded him that those who are interested in teaming usually set up signs next to the booth to indicate their own needs and conditions.

However, the teams in the hall are either too demanding or far from Lynn’s goal.

He neither intends to spend huge amounts of magic stones to purchase the escort services provided by the pass, nor does he want to step into danger alone.

He needed a team that went straight to the Red Swamp, but he was also picky.

I don’t want to be bound by the team and maintain absolute freedom of movement; I don’t want to make cumbersome contracts to avoid being forcibly bound to messy relationships.

Lin En was scared by the contract of the furnace and had a psychological shadow. After a trip to [Landscape], he was educated by Maple Tree again. Even if there were checks and balances in the contract, it did not mean that he could rely entirely on his teammates.

Therefore, he simply did not plan to add contracts and contracts.

However, the crossing journey of the Atlas Mountains is full of dangers and takes a long time, and the members of the team will inevitably face the test of life and death.

Because of this, most teams will ask members to make a contract to prevent someone from escaping in the face of battle or even secretly backstab.

Lynn couldn't accept this.

It is precisely because of this that teams that meet his standards can be said to be rare.

But the world is so big that it is all kinds of wonders.

This underground tavern is filled with people of all kinds. Even if Lynn’s requirements are harsh, he can always find several companions with his ideas.

Soon, Lynn's eyes locked in a corner of the hall.

This team does not have any cumbersome contractual constraints, and the members only take care of each other when necessary, but if they encounter a fatal crisis, they will run away from their own lives and will never be forced to bind them.

It is exactly the cooperation model that Lynn wants.
