Chapter 714: The True Form of the Fire Dragon! (4)
"If it’s not a problem, let’s settle it this way. Sign this agreement, and you’ll provide me with message delivery services. I’ll, of course, ensure your safety,” Levi said.
"Alright, Sir. Thanks for taking me in.”
The owl extended its wings and bowed in gratitude towards Levi.
If it weren’t for Levi taking her in, Eve had considered finding a random forest to live out her days as an ordinary owl.
And so, within Alice’s ring, another special owl was added.
In fact, many low and intermediate-level wizards often employed a messenger exclusively for themselves.
However, in the current chaotic times, being a messenger had become a high-risk occupation.
As for high-level wizards, they usually possessed more convenient long-distance communication spells and didn’t rely on traditional and inefficient messenger services.
Taking advantage of the night, Levi returned to the market.
After returning to the wizard tower, he opened a storage bag.This bag contained various memory slates that stored the knowledge and documents he had collected—essentially, Levi’s personal library on the go.
During this period, Levi’s primary research focus was on the Purification Elixir. With Levi’s knowledge of Pharmacy, refining the Purification Elixir wasn’t
In the field of Pharmacy, whether one was an Arcanist or a wizard, as long as they belonged to the Spell Caster profession, the principles were quite similar.
He could do nothing without ingredients.
However, the key ingredients for the Purification Elixir were Saint Fruit,
Forget-Me-Not, and Stonebone Flower. Despite searching the Black Pearl Wizard Market and surrounding markets, Levi couldn’t find any of them.
Levi had a comprehensive book, “Complete Guide to Wizard Herbalism,” which covered all the herb species possibly used in alchemy by wizards up to the fifth circle. However, these three ingredients were not listed.
"Could it be that these three herbs are only found in the Othar plane? Since I can’t find them in the Wizard World, I need to be resourceful, find alternative materials for these three ingredients, and conduct experiments until I find a solution.”
As for searching other planes, it wasn’t practical for a Third-Circle Wizard like Levi. Firstly, he didn’t have the means to travel to other planes, and secondly, the unknown dangers in other planes could lead to his demise.
While Levi was experimenting with alternative materials for the Purification Elixir ingredients, at the central peak of Black Pearl Island stood the towering White Tower.
This was the wizard tower of Garcia, the owner of the Black Pearl Market, a Fifth-Circle Wizard.
Garcia was known by the nickname “Black Pearl Kid,” a moniker he had chosen for himself.
Because he made a fortune by searching for black pearls in the abyss near Black Pearl Island.
From an unknown figure, he gradually became a Fifth-Circle Wizard.
In this Area 5, he became a legendary figure.
After all, the plot of an underdog’s counterattack was timeless.
In the entire inner sea region of Area 5, there were about a dozen Fifth-Circle Wizards.
And Garcia was the only pure nomadic wizard, without the background of a wizard family or organization.
After reaching the Fifth Circle, to remind himself of the hard work in the past,
Garcia always referred to himself as the “Black Pearl Kid.”
Due to his nomadic wizard background, Garcia’s attitude towards nomadic wizards was quite good, which was also the reason Levi chose to stay in the Black Pearl Market.
Under Garcia’s command, there were four Fourth-Circle Wizards, all from the
Ocean School of Thought, known as the “Black Pearl Four Wizards.” Varil, in charge of the Black Pearl gathering, was one of them.
And now, Garcia gathered with four Fourth-Circle Wizards, and everyone’s expression was serious, indicating that something significant was about to happen.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I called you from your respective positions today to discuss an important matter.”
Garcia, a white-haired old man with wisdom shining in his eyes, dressed in a large white robe, held a staff, fitting the popular image of a wizard.
"Lord Garcia, please speak,” Varil said.
Garcia sighed and then said, “I just received a letter from Area 7. The Thunder Dragon Family in Area 7 wanted to acquire our wizard market and turn it into their private property. ”
"What? The Thunder Dragon Family was too audacious. They had extended their reach from Area 7 to Area 5!”
"Yeah, our Black Pearl Wizard Market had worked hard to develop to its current state. If it was acquired by the Thunder Dragon Family, nomadic wizards would have had no future. All resources would have been controlled by these wizard families. What would have been the point? Wasn’t this going down the old path of ancient wizards?” Sparrow, a wizard, expressed his anger.
He was also a nomadic wizard who had been suppressed by wizard families and strongly disdained them.
"Lord Garcia, I thought we should first see what price the Thunder Dragon
Family could offer. If it was acceptable, it might have been worth considering. If it wasn’t, we certainly couldn’t agree. Besides, they couldn’t have done anything to us. Their family’s Sorrett had just been released by the Wizard
Tribunal.”
"I agreed with that.” Wizards expressed their opinions.
After hearing this, Garcia showed a helpless expression and said, “Area 6 had Riptide City with a military background, so the Thunder Dragon Family hadn’t dared to intervene. Our Area 5 should have been considered the best area for the development of nomadic wizards in the inner sea region. Many nomadic wizards had come here to seek refuge. I hadn’t expected the Thunder Dragon Family to have revealed their true colors during the current civil war. It had been really excessive..”
