Passerby Villain In A Wizard World

Chapter 45 Gain After War

"You... you are a Wizard?"

Prince Adrian was so stunned that his voice trembled, and he stopped and stood rooted on the spot.

He saw his guard deflecting the sword when suddenly Ian took a shimmering blade out of nowhere and smoothly cut both the sword and his neck from behind.

There was no resistance at all, just like a sharp knife cutting through butter. Even the blood didn't appear for a few seconds.

After hearing his words, Ian looked at Adrian with interest,

"Oh? Do you know Wizard? That's right, your guess is correct, but there is no prize."

After saying that, he walked toward him unhurriedly, looking at his prey, ready for slaughter.

"You... Don't come near... Do you know who I am?"

Adrian was scared shitless, seeing this Grim Reaper coming toward him, and hurriedly took down the covering on his face, showing his handsome figure that was similar to the Third Prince at the banquet.

"I'm Second Prince Adrian of this Ashford Empire. You can't kill me; otherwise, nobody can save you and your family from the royal family's wrath."

He hurriedly explained, afraid that Ian would kill him in a fit of rage.

"Hehe, I know your identity. I know why you are here. But I will still kill you. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

Adrian was completely flustered by the seemingly frivolous but chilling remark and asked subconsciously.

"Because nobody knew you came here. Even if you die here today, Ashford's will never find out."

Ian said with a faint laugh as if looking at a clown.

"What? How do you know?"

Adrian was facing full pressure from Ian's killing intent that he didn't understand the situation and said with a slip of the tongue.

But by the time he understood, he saw a similar blade hacking at him at an extreme speed that he couldn't think of anything, and his head rolled to the ground, just like his guards.

The trio who came for the lucrative deals secretly died with their heads severed in this unknown land.

"Tch, couldn't even defend. Wasted my Spellblade shot."

Ian caressed the blade in his hand lovingly. The more he used it, the more he liked it.

"Consider yourself lucky to die at the hand of a Wizard."

Ian laughed since he knew that he wasn't a wizard, only an apprentice.

He just used his merged mental power and life energy on the Spellblade and killed the unsuspecting person with the speed of thunder.

But maybe it seemed magical for this barren place.

"Morgrave, gather the bodies, and burn them down. Clean the area and don't let anyone slip away."

Ian ordered and walked towards the body of Adrian. From his reaction when he pulled out the Spellblade from the space ring, he could figure out he was a wizard.

So, he must have something to do with Wizard.

Ian still didn't know what they were doing here or what his so-called uncle Thomas found here, but he wasn't in a hurry.

After Ian rumbled through the clothes, Ian found nothing.

Then he thought of something and looked at the finger of the headless body in front of him, and sure enough, he saw an unremarkable ring with a strange rune pattern on the second finger of his right hand.

"Mana ring!"

Ian belatedly realized that it was a mana ring, a basic space artifact used by the Wizard apprentice.

"Well, he is a prince of an Empire."

Unlike his space ring, this mana ring requires mental power to access and cannot be used with Life energy.

Still, just with the possession of this ring, he understood why this prince thought that he was a wizard. After all, a space ring that could be opened up with Life Energy was unheard of.

"Let's see what is inside."

Ian was full of expectation as he already knew there was Soul Gem Dust, the main catalyst for the secret recipe to enter the Grand Knight.

With his strong mental power, Ian easily broke through the barrier outside the ring and saw a small space inside filled with myriads of things.

However, most of them were occupied by shimmering dark stones.

"Runestone Quarry!"

Finally, he understood what his uncle had found.

Although Runestone was the degraded version of mana stone, it was still very precious in this barren continent where you couldn't find a trace of mana.

As far as Ian knew, this stone had a very high research value for a beginner Wizard.

It was also extremely useful for the Knight Family as the secret recipe includes botanical plants more or less related to mana. Such stones were effective in raising such for generations.

Of course, for him at this time, besides transaction value or leaving it to the family, it had no use since he couldn't absorb mana from it.

"A Runestone Quarry with a Hearthstone vein."

Ian looked at his uncle Thomas, who was lying down on the ground with restraint, surrounded by soldiers, and murderous intent spilled out uncontrollably.

The price of this vein, that too with a Hearthstone, was exponential even for their Veilstrider family.

If they played their cards right, producing multiple Tier 3 High Knights or at least one Grand Knight wasn't a dream.

"But the filthy rat doesn't care about family affection."

Ian cursed uncontrollably, discarded such unpleasant thoughts, and looked at other items in the ring.

Besides the Runestone and Soul Gem Dust in a bottle, there were only two items worthy of his attention: a meditation method and a token.

Ian ignored the basic meditation method which was of no use to him and looked at the token instead.

When he saw what it was, his breathing became short because he had seen this token before.

"Ignisia Tower Token!"

Ian took out the circular medallion forged from a radiant metal alloy that glowed faintly with an internal amber light, resembling molten lava.

Without a doubt, it was the Ignisia Tower Token. He had seen this in his father's hand.
