Under the gazes of all the wizards present, the deal was completed!
Wayne was so excited that he almost jumped up. He blushed as he looked at the potion in front of him. His mouth was trembling so much that he could not speak.
He saw the two vials Edward had taken out and thought he had been stood up. Both vials were within the scope of the deal.
Unexpectedly!
Lord Alchemist really gave it to him!
“Esteemed Alchemist, I am willing to give you everything of value that I have!”
Accompanied by the sound of things being lifted, as well as the shocked silence in the surroundings, a huge pile of things was placed on the table.
There were tens of gold coins, an ordinary meditation technique, and a few elementary spells.
These items were useless to Edward, but he still accepted them.
He believed that he kept his promise with this.
“I’ll leave the last bottle of potion here. Please bid!”
The moment he finished speaking, the witch in her thirties immediately gave a price!
“I’ll use myself and all my wealth to make a deal. I can sign a master-servant contract!”
Everyone gasped upon hearing that.
This woman really had a good plan. She was planning to tie herself to this alchemist with an immeasurably bright future!?
However, how could this happen!
Edward frowned as he looked at her. Her figure was average, her looks average, and even her aptitude was average. How could he fancy someone like her?
Although he liked women, such as cute lolitas, tsundere ladies and mature big sisters, he still cared about their appearances.
How could anyone think he would accept them casually? Did they really think he was a rubbish recycling station?
“Sorry, I’m not a human trafficker here. Please don’t attempt to sell yourself!”
The witch did not make a fuss. She sighed and retreated behind everyone.
Knowing that her conditions were average, she only had a small hope for this.
In the first place, it was unlikely that he would agree.
The last bottle of potion was purchased by Shulu using a piece of property in the Eye of Storms.
Furthermore, it was located in the center!
Edward did not suffer any losses in this transaction, and even made a small profit.
As for Shulu, he was also the biggest beneficiary of this transaction.
The property in the Eye of Storms had been purchased by his ancestors and had been passed on to his generation.
White Orchid City was his base of operations, and the Eye of Storms was only visited for two to three days during vacation.
As time passed, it had little value to him, but selling it was a waste, so it had been kept until now.
Under the envious gazes of the wizards, the property deed and potion were exchanged among the two, indicating the end of the night!
“The transaction is over. I’m about to leave White Orchid City. Everyone, may fate bring us together in the Eye of Storms!” Edward said with a smile, placing the gains into his empty backpack.
Walking through the night in White Orchid City, Edward started thinking about the relevant information regarding the Eye of Storms.
All the transaction details were organized by the system.
As for Wayne, the Apprentice Wizard who had obtained the potion tonight, Edward hoped that he would be able to escape from the hands of the other wizards.
No one could remain rational in the face of great benefits!
As for the Meditation Potion, as long as Edward had enough materials, he could create higher quality potions!
————
Returning to the inn that he had stayed in for a month, Edward began to organize the items for the transaction.
“System, list out the information and items obtained tonight!”
“While you’re at it, analyze the various wizard organizations and select one that matches my interests!”
[System prompt: From this transaction, you have obtained four new wizard spells. They are: Illusory Avatar, Steel Body, Magic Explosion, Exploding Fireball. Gold coins: 800.]
[System prompt: In the competition between the Wizard forces of the Eye of Storms, there are a total of six factions. Among them, there are two White Wizard factions, two neutral factions, and two Dark Wizard factions. According to the host’s identity, you are recommended to choose a neutral faction. They are: Ivory Tower which mainly focuses on research on spells and inscriptions. Ouroboros faction which focuses on research on bloodlines and human experiments.]
Edward came to a conclusion after reading the introduction. As a Blood Wizard, his best choice was to join the Ouroboros faction.
With his alchemist status, he would definitely be able to obtain a lot of resources related to the upgrade of his bloodline.
The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds, and Edward, dressed in a black robe and hood, headed for the Eye of Storms under the inn boss’ reluctant gaze.
The Ouroboros faction was located at the southernmost side of the Eye of Storms and was the overlord of the southern residential area.
The Eye of Storms was a long way from White Orchid City, so Edward decided to practice the spells he had recently obtained along the way.
The drawing of inscriptions was also following the schedule he set, and he was very close to becoming a Rank 2 Wizard now.
At that time, his strength would undergo a tremendous change.
[System prompt: Detected the death of two wizards in White Orchid City. They seemed to have been assassinated!]
Edward walked out of the city without hesitation.
Strength was always the best guarantee to protect oneself.
When one was not strong enough, they should not try to own a treasure that did not match their status.
This was always the law of the jungle that existed everywhere.
About an hour into his trek through the forest, Edward’s snake mode activated and he smirked.
Not bad!
The people blocking his way were the witch from the gathering, as well as two Rank 1 Wizards who blocked him from the back.
There were no signs of the two Apprentice Wizards here. One had died, and the other had escaped. It was unknown if the potion had been preserved.
“Oh my, isn’t this the cute alchemist? I wanted to be tortured by you, but you refused!” The witch licked her long fingers and pointed at Edward to tease him.
At the gathering, with Shulu as the host, she did not dare to do anything.
However, in this deserted forest, no one could resist robbing this alchemist!
As long as she could control this alchemist, an endless stream of power and wealth would follow. In addition, he was handsome and could even be taken away as a male slave.
Everyone present knew the combat ability of an alchemist. The alchemy skills of an alchemist did not represent the combat ability of an alchemist.
Moreover, they had three Rank 1 Wizards on their side. Edward was like a caged bird, unable to escape even if he had wings!
Edward, who was in snake mode, saw through their deep malice.
He could not help but sigh, “Sometimes, the greatest disaster is not the external environment, but the greed of people!”
