Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 295 - 15 Fishing

Chapter 295 -15 Fishing

Richard stood by the window, silently raising his bid sign.

Just seconds before, Ulysses had confirmed that the item up for auction was the very Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace he had encountered previously.

“What a surprise, those ghost craftsmen masters have actually created something new after all these years.”

Ulysses watched the Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace on the auction stage, unable to resist exclaiming.

Richard glanced at him and asked casually,

“Why, isn’t it normal for craftsmen to improve things?”

“No, that’s not it. You have no idea how rigid the creatures that make this thing can be,” Ulysses explained. “The Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace comes from the Monster World’s deceitful ghost craftsmen.

Those ghost craftsmen are innate rule creatures, with lifespans that are nearly eternal, so their thinking is extremely stiff.

I’ve been dealing with them for three or four epochs, and I’ve never seen them come up with anything new.”

“Eternal life?” exclaimed Richard. “Are there such unreasonable races in this world?”

“Nearly eternal,” Ulysses corrected. “The lifespan of these ghost craftsmen is bound to the Deceitful Great World. As long as the Deceitful Great World doesn’t perish, they won’t die.

The lifespan of a great world can practically be called eternal compared to us creatures.

Secondly, this nearly eternal life is not without a price.

The individual number of ghost craftsmen is set. Only when one ghost craftsman chooses to die will a new ghost craftsman be born in the Deceitful Great World.

Moreover, these ghost craftsmen cannot leave the Monster World throughout their lives; the World Barrier is for them an insurmountable wall of sighs.

With that coupled with their eternal life, they are practically imprisoned.

It’s just that their prison is a bit larger.”

After listening, Richard sighed and thought to himself that nothing good in this world comes for free.

Everything granted by fate had a price set in secret.

“Guest number twelve bids 5,500 Magic Essence; does any Master wish to bid higher?”

Brown surveyed the entire hall; all the wizards remained motionless.

“Very well, then this treasure will go to… Guest number thirty bids 6,000 Magic Essence!”

Just as Brown’s auction hammer was about to fall, someone from one of the private rooms suddenly chose to bid.

Richard looked toward the thirtieth guest room to his opposite left, where a wizard wearing a mask stood by the window holding up a number card.

“Who is this person?”

Richard frowned slightly and turned to ask Bob.

Bob shook his head:

“I’m not sure; the thirtieth private room doesn’t have a fixed guest. The complete list of bidding wizards is in Rother’s hands; I only have a part of it.”

Richard rubbed his eyebrows, not understanding why the wizard opposite wanted to compete with him.

Had he also recognized the origin of this item?

But regardless, since he wanted to compete, Richard was ready to go all the way.

Richard picked up his bidding sign and raised it again.

Brown on the auction stage immediately announced, “Guest number twelve bids 6,500 Magic Essence.”

The wizard in room thirty looked toward Richard. Although he wore a mask, Richard could clearly feel that the wizard held a bitter malice toward him.

Richard found the gaze to be distasteful; the wizard looked at him as if he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

“Bob, check out the wizard in room thirty. I think he must be an assistant hired by one of your opponents.”

Bob was startled by the remark, then immediately got up and left the room.

“I’ll check it out right away.”

…

In room thirty, Rother leaned back in his chair, speaking unhurriedly,

“Master Levi, why bother competing with him? Once you’ve dealt with him, won’t this item still be yours?”

Levi, standing by the window, turned to look at Rother.

“I really want this item, so I don’t want to take risks. What’s the matter, you can’t afford the price?”

Levi’s voice was as hoarse as that of an evil ghost from hell; as he spoke, streams of black qi flew out of his mouth, like resentful souls, swirling continuously around the room, emitting faint screeches.

“It’s not that I can’t afford it; it’s simply unnecessary.”

Rother stood up from his chair and bowed slightly to Levi.

“If Master desires it, I can have the back end hold onto the item and give it to the Master after you’ve taken action.

Please, Master, refrain from bidding.”

Levi looked at Rother as if he were looking at a dead man.

He hated to be refused.

But currently, he had a Soul Contract with the boy and couldn’t take action against him.

This made him quite uncomfortable.

He regarded Rother for a long time before finally speaking coldly,

“Then do as you wish. But remember, I owe you only this favor.”

Rother stood up straight, his demeanor proper,

“Rest assured, Master, I will remember this.”

After speaking, Rother quickly exited the room, and the moment he closed the door behind him, his expression instantly darkened.

He leaned against the door, trying to calm himself down.

Inside his chest, his heart was pounding like a drum.

Sharing a room with a mad Three Rings wizard, Rother was far from as relaxed as he appeared.

He casually touched the inner lining beneath his wizard robe, finding it soaked with cold sweat.

Soon, a black-robed wizard approached Rother and said in a low voice,

“My lord, Bob’s men have started investigating Master Levi’s identity.”

Rother stood up straight, his face returning to calm.

“Feed them some false information.”

“Yes.”

The black-robed Wizard responded and swiftly departed. Rother straightened his Wizard Robe and its inner lining before proceeding in the opposite direction of the corridor.

Just before leaving, he turned back to look at VIP Room number thirty.

He murmured in a low voice, “Madman, once you’re done with your business, Paradise City will be your grave!”

…

After Richard made his second bid, Levi didn’t bid again.

Thus, Richard naturally won the Power Furnace.

Richard looked curiously at room number thirty, muttering to himself,

“Just one bid, was it really just a spur of the moment?”

Richard pulled the curtains shut and sat back down in his chair.

The rest of the auction had nothing to do with him.

One after another, items were auctioned off. Following the Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace, Brown auctioned off hundreds of items.

The auction items ranged from specimens of creatures from Otherworlds to special ores that had been exhausted from mining, truly encompassing everything.

Richard even saw Secret Realm Fragments up for auction.

Although the area of that Secret Realm Fragment was much larger than the one Richard had initially obtained, spanning three square kilometers, the quality was not as good as Richard’s.

Even so, the final bid for this fragment reached thirty thousand Magic Essence.

That price instantly made Richard understand why several Wizards had been so surprised when they had acquired a Secret Realm Fragment years ago.

Black Tower Great Wizards are indeed spending lavishly.

As the auction progressed, it soon reached the end.

The mutated Fire Lizard flesh that Richard had sold to Bob was the grand finale, and its appearance immediately set the entire auction house ablaze.

Over two-thirds of the Wizards from the Three Rings had been attracted by this piece of flesh.

A piece of Flesh, emanating Life Radiation higher than third-level, yet not reaching forth level.

For those Three Rings Wizards, it was more tempting than a fragment of the rules.

Because it contained the terrifying secret of breaking through to become a Great Wizard.

In the Wizard World, knowledge about breaking through to become a Great Wizard was closely guarded, and a Three Rings Wizard must be selected by the Tower of Truth and sign a non-disclosure agreement with the Tower of Truth if they wish to obtain breakthrough knowledge.

Although there are other ways to gain this knowledge, those paths are no less difficult than this one.

And this is still just knowledge; whether Wizards can break through to become Great Wizards after getting that knowledge is still an unknown.

Such demanding conditions naturally mean that a large number of Three Rings Wizards are stuck at the level of third-level creatures, slowly watching themselves approach the end of their lives.

So, faced with something that might let them glimpse the secret to becoming a Great Wizard.

Their rational brains naturally started boiling over.

Richard watched these Three Rings Wizards frenetically bid and silently left the VIP room.

Shortly after his departure, a Wizard informed Levi in room thirty about Richard’s exit.

“He’s gone? Alright, I got it.”

Levi waved impatiently, his eyes locked onto the blue Flesh on the auction stage.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the Three Rings Wizards present were enough to instantly blow him away, he would have charged the stage for a zero-cost acquisition.

Ordinary Three Rings Wizards might be sifted by the Tower of Truth, but the mad Wizard wouldn’t even have the chance to be filtered.

Watching the bids rapidly escalate, Levi angrily pulled the curtains and left the room.

“After this matter is settled, I’ll have that Rother kid give me the info on the Wizard who bought this piece of Flesh.”

…

After leaving the auction house, Richard didn’t return to his room in the White Tower but instead wandered around the Wizard District.

Because of its closed mode, Makar, a third-level creature, walked beside Richard, looking no different from an Alien Magic Statue, attracting no attention from the other Wizards.

It’s quite normal for an Alchemy Wizard to have a Guard Magic Statue.

The Wizard District wasn’t large, and Richard soon finished walking through it.

After completing his tour of the Wizard District, Richard immediately headed toward the transition area.

It seemed he intended to wander through the entire Paradise City.

Thousands of kilometers above Richard’s head, a powerful Magic Pet eagle was silently monitoring his every move.

Rother, sharing the eagle’s vision, muttered to himself,

“He’s heading to the transition area. Truly the ace up Bob’s sleeve, skilled and bold.”

He knew very well that Richard was fishing for a response.

Upon entering the transition area, Richard suddenly looked up at the sky, then gestured with his hand.

Rother recognized the gesture; it was a common combat signal among the White Wizard Army—meaning to take action.

“Heh, quite confident in his own strength,” Rother sneered, then instructed his subordinate to send Richard’s coordinates to Levi.

“I really hope you’re still so arrogant when you see a Three Rings mad Wizard.”

…

Within the transition area, Richard lowered his head and released his right hand to start examining the map.

As an Apprentice who had used Magic Pets for scouting, Richard had noticed Rother’s tactics the moment he left the White Tower.

“Hope it’s quick.”

Richard eyed the map, not lifting his head as he quickly walked toward a marked spot.

This location was an empty area that Richard had asked Aimen to prepare.

Within this area, there were no Nine Star Chamber of Commerce Wizards. If someone wanted to make a move, this spot would be the perfect place.

Soon, Richard arrived at the designated area.

He looked around, somewhat bored, and said to himself,

“These guys are really slow; I’m still waiting to go back and settle the final payment.”

But he didn’t notice that behind him, a figure emerged silently from the shadows.
