Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 621 - 38: Opportunity

For most Wizards on the Calim continent, the bloodline heirs of the nine major families are beyond reach.

Even if there is contact, the understanding is not deep.

But they all know that every Wizard from an ancient family can mobilize part of their family’s power.

Julia’s instructions were quickly responded to, and several ’goods’ were transported to the Viper Academy through special channels.

"Squeak..." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The wooden door was pushed open, and Cregi dressed in black slowly walked into the room, respectfully saluting a young man:

"I have already met Miss Julia."

"Oh!"

The young man, reading in the center, looked up with a smile:

"What did my dear sister say?"

"Miss Julia asked me to arrange people at an inn. In the next two days, that Wizard named Lynn will come to take over." Cregi said:

"Lynn has been cultivating the Great Flame Witch Vein inheritance."

"It seems he wants to quickly satiate that Lynn and then enter the Star Realm Graveyard." The young man nodded:

"No surprise there."

"... Master Theodore." Cregi hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Are you going to enter too?"

"Of course!" Theodore nodded:

"Such opportunities are rare. If missed, I might have to wait for a hundred years before it’s my turn."

?

Cregi was puzzled.

"You don’t understand."

Theodore smiled a bit, trusting this servant who had been by his side for decades, explaining:

"Families like ours have some means of glimpsing the future, otherwise we wouldn’t have survived till now."

"Though the future can’t be fully controlled, we can always find some opportunities."

"Master’s meaning is..." Cregi mused:

"The Viper Academy’s Star Realm station harbors some opportunity, which could be beneficial for the future if obtained."

"Exactly." Theodore nodded:

"Due to certain special reasons, the vast and endless Calim continent has countless treasures waiting to be excavated."

"Every core heir of the family gets pinpointed an opportunity upon reaching the Second Ring peak and tries to obtain it, while the Viper Academy’s Star Realm station hides Julia’s opportunity."

"Isn’t this too troublesome?" Cregi was somewhat puzzled:

"With the Loo family’s strength, taking down the mere Viper Academy would be easy. Why take such risks?"

"Miss Julia is not weak, might even be stronger than Akasha of the Viper Academy, but there’s never absolute certainty."

Akasha has managed the Viper Academy for hundreds of years, and for ordinary Third Ring Wizards, it’s a dead end.

And Julia,

Is only a Second Ring peak!

Though she’s a powerful Second Ring Wizard, she’s still at the Second Ring.

"Heh..." Theodore rolled his eyes:

"Even the four major forces, the nine families, cannot act recklessly, or there will be a day of downfall."

"You don’t think there were only nine surnames in ancient times, do you?"

"There were those Wizard Families who thought they had mastered destiny, recklessly seizing opportunities, and as a result..."

"They’re all gone now!"

Destiny!

Even Divine Office-related deities are extremely wary of it, always unreachable.

"On the other hand, the family calculates the opportunity and lets you act, also with an intention of testing."

Theodore continued:

"If one doesn’t pass the test, the resources available in the family will decrease, though they will still be more than outsiders."

"Master." Cregi cautiously spoke:

"Since it’s the family’s arrangement, Miss Julia shouldn’t encounter any danger, right?"

"Not necessarily." Theodore shook his head:

"There have been family Wizards who perish while obtaining opportunities, and there are quite a few."

"A few years ago, those from the Green family went into the Magic Forest searching for their opportunity and none returned."

"Is there such a thing?" Cregi was surprised:

"The Green family is famously careful."

"Indeed." Theodore shrugged:

"But what does that matter?"

"I heard the one who killed those from the Green family escaped to the Eastern Kingdom Continent, under the Gods’ protection, and even the Green family could do nothing."

As he spoke, he smiled gleefully.

Speaking of which, he had seen those victims from the Green family at a gathering, who were full of vigor then and now remained only as bones.

"Alright."

After discussing trivial matters, Theodore spoke seriously:

"I must enter the Viper Academy’s Star Realm station, and that Wizard named Lynn..."

"Think of a way to replace him!"

"Yes." Cregi bowed his head in agreement.

The ’goods’ have arrived, please check.

Seeing the text on the Magic Paper, Lynn shook his head slightly, stepping forward.

What Julia referred to as ’goods’ were actually people, those who had cultivated the Great Flame Witch Vein to the Wizard Realm.

One must say.

The Loo family, worthy of being an ancient Wizard family, can even trade Wizards as goods.

"Number 13 Falling Leaf Street."

Following the street front, Lynn stopped in front of a low courtyard gate, whispering:

"It should be here."

The courtyard gate wasn’t closed, easily pushed open, stepping into the yard, he felt the presence of an invisible barrier.

From the outside, the courtyard seemed small.

But inside, it was spacious, with three people occupying each corner of the empty yard.

Three Official Wizards!

Hmm?

Lynn frowned:

"Where’s Mandy? Weren’t there supposed to be three immovable goods?"

"Mandy?" The person in the left corner lightly waved, a bloody figure fell through the open door not far away:

"Is this who you mean?"

"..." Lynn pursed his lips:

"Seems there was an unexpected problem."

"Lin... Lynn." Covered in blood, Mandy miserably struggled to lift her head, her voice sharp:

"Run!"

Lynn turned.

Only to find the door had unknowingly closed, and the barrier completely enclosed the courtyard.

In this way, no matter how big a commotion was caused here, as long as the barrier is intact, it won’t be transmitted outside.

"Heh..."

Somewhat helpless, Lynn turned back, looking at the three approaching slowly, and spread his hands:

"I’m the one the Loo family wants, if you kill me, won’t you fear the Loo family’s revenge?"

"Afraid!" One person said:

"Of course afraid!"

"But compared to the Loo family’s revenge, we fear death more!

"Exactly." Another person nodded:

"We’ve painstakingly cultivated for so many years, only to profit you in the end, how could we be content?"

"Then how about this?" Lynn tentatively spoke:

"I won’t touch you, you won’t touch me, how about we pretend today never happened?"

"Heh..." One person chuckled:

"Do you think it’s possible?"

"The Loo family needs a Second Ring Wizard, if we kill you and become Second Ring, we’ll be spared."

"Hmm..." Lynn squinted:

"Killing me isn’t enough, only one of us four can survive."

"Exactly!"

The other party admitted:

"After killing you, we’ll decide life by combat!"

"This is the fate destined by cultivating the Great Flame Witch Vein inheritance, we can’t escape, and neither can you!"
