Chapter 407 - 407: Wizard Tower, Mark of Truth, Legendary Golden Horn! (4)
The potions that Levi was selling at the stall were all the apprentice potions and first-circle potions that he had concocted when he was farming for proficiency points in pharmacy. In addition, he had two bottles of Naga’s Blessing Potion that he had yet to sell. He had to be careful when selling such a precious breakthrough potion because it might draw unwanted attention to him. He might be targeted by some people with ulterior motives.
Unfortunately, after so many days, Levi had only bought a few basic breathing techniques, none related to endurance or perception. He was somewhat disappointed.
Three days later, Levi packed up his things.
“I’ve sold almost everything. It’s time for me to leave,” Levi thought.
The only thing left unsold was the First-Circle Wizard Tool. Levi planned to sell it in the future.
A tall and thin wizard wearing a black robe and a hood stopped in front of
Levi’s stall. Levi could feel the spiritual force of a First-Circle Wizard from him.
“Sir, this First-Circle Wizard Tool belongs to the black-hearted arsonist, Terrell, right?” The First-Circle Wizard suddenly talked to Levi through the Secret Transmission Spell.
Levi’s expression did not change. He also sent a voice transmission. “That’s right. It seems that you have a keen eye. How about it? Do you want to buy it?”
Terrell was a dark wizard, so his death was justified. Levi would have handed
Terrell’s head to the Star Tower in exchange for a reward, but he did not do so because he made a living dead out of the corpse. Hence, Levi was not afraid of being recognized as Terrell’s killer.
Kankur explained, “I am a dark wizard hunter, Wind-Chasing Arrow Kankur. Terrell once escaped from me, and he was no weakling. I didn’t expect him to be caught by you. I don’t have enough Aether Stones on me right now, so I wonder if you can accept a barter. I also have some things that might interest vou.”
As the name implied, dark wizard hunters were wizards who actively hunted down dark wizards whom the Pan-Plane Wizard Council wanted in exchange for bounties to make a living. Generally speaking, dark wizard hunters had much combat experience fighting dangerous and cunning dark wizards. Their combat strength was a little higher than ordinary wizards, and they often had some miscellaneous spoils of war on them.
Levi thought, “My Spider Sensing does not detect any abnormality. It seems that this person has no ulterior motives. His spiritual force is stronger than mine. He might be a senior First-Circle Wizard. Kankur is not as simple as he looks.”
“Sure, but this Fire Shield can only be used by members of the Burning School of Thought. Are you sure you want to buy it?” Levi reminded.
“Of course I know that. Please follow me, sir. I have a residence nearby. It’s more secluded there. We can discuss further there,” Kankur invited. “Alright.” Levi’s heart skipped a beat. He put away his things and followed
Kankur.
Kankur’s residence was in the bustling Blacksail Wizard Market near Levi’s stall. It was a small three-story wizard tower. He usually lived in seclusion in this bustling market.
“What a small wizard tower,” Levi commented while looking at it.
“This is not a real wizard tower. It lacks many of the functions normal wizard towers have. It’s just a shelter for me. I’m just a nomadic wizard. How would I have the money to build a wizard tower?” Kankur smiled wryly.
“It must have been difficult for you to reach your current level as a nomadic wizard,” Levi complimented.
After becoming an official wizard, one could start building a wizard tower. Generally speaking, a wizard tower was a place for wizards to cultivate, similar to the temples and monasteries of religious groups. There were not as many wizards in ancient times as there were now. Back then, all official wizards would build a wizard tower and find apprentices to do odd jobs there. Most wizards did not interact much with each other. They would stay in their towers and do their research. However, with the evolution of the wizard civilization, especially the establishment of the Pan-Plane Wizard Council, the relationship between the wizards became closer and closer, and the number of official wizards also exploded. In this day and age, very few First-Circle Wizards would build their own wizard tower. They would only consider building their wizard tower after reaching the Second-Circle. In this era, many wizards had long given up on building their own wizard towers and chose to use the towers of others to cultivate.
An actual wizard tower was something that only Grand Wizards were qualified to establish. Levi knew little about this, but he roughly knew that under the wizard tower system, with the Grand Wizard as the core and official wizards of all levels as branches and leaves, it formed a perfect wizard ecosystem. In this system, the tower master was at the top and ruled everything. The others had their duties. When official wizards of the wizard tower advanced and became stronger, it would be like the roots transporting nutrients to the rest of the tree. They would allow the tower master at the top to enjoy increased spiritual force. The tower master’s strength would also affect the official wizards under him.
Furthermore, wizards were born to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, unravel the mysteries of the universe, pursue the untouchable truth, and defy the heavens. Therefore, it was said that after the fall of a high-level wizard, their wisdom would return to nature. Since long ago, wizards had discovered that it was more effective to meditate where high-level wizards had fallen. Some talented people could even occasionally feel the Mark of Truth of the deceased high-level wizards. In other words, they would obtain enlightenment and fortuitous encounters similar to the deceased. They would gain many
strange benefits..
