《Guarding the Wizard Tower for 100 years, I Become Invincible When I Come out》 Chapter 1 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Rustle, rustle.¡± In a spacious room, a handsome young man with short light blond hair and blue eyes was focused on sweeping the floor. He was wearing a plain gray linen robe, the standard attire for apprentice wizards in the Wizard Tower. That¡¯s right! Apprentice wizard! Pete came from the 21st century. He had traversed to this magical world three years ago! The owner of this body was also called Peter. His father, in order to ensure a better life for him in this world, gave him a letter of recommendation adorned with magical symbols before he passed away. He let Peter go to the Wizard Tower to seek a way of living. This letter originally belonged to his father. Unfortunately, his father was seriously ill and he could not become a wizard. He could only let Peter replace him. Among humans, wizards were a group of people with transcendent status. They roamed the desolate wilderness and moved in the silent darkness. They fought against all kinds of terrifying monsters! They had powerful magic! Becoming a wizard meant facing dangers from the darkness, but at the same time, it meant a better life compared to ordinary people. The standard of living for ordinary people in this world was roughly equivalent to the Middle Ages. Resources were scarce, and they barely maintained their subsistence. Therefore, after Peter buried his father, he came to the Wizard Tower without hesitation. With the recommendation letter in his hand, he became a small apprentice in the Wizard Tower! In this world, there were various races coexisting, including Human Kingdom, Orc Kingdom, Elven Kingdom, and so on. Even the legendary giant dragons really existed! In order to fight these dangerous creatures, Wizard Towers were spread all over the world. The Wizard Tower was the residence of wizards. However, compared to the other towers, Peter¡¯s tower was more special. That was because it housed imprisoned evil Dark Wizards and various fierce monsters! This was truly a dangerous world! Peter thought so. Originally, it was already unfortunate enough to traverse, but to have traversed to such a terrifying and dangerous world was even worse. Peter believed that he must have the ability to protect himself! Although he had only joined the wizard tower for a day, he heard from other wizards that two days ago, a wizard tower was attacked by monsters. All the wizards inside were killed! Some were eaten by the monsters, while others were turned into undead and became underlings of the monsters! Peter didn¡¯t want his fate to end up like that! He had to become stronger! That¡¯s right! He could learn magic! Peter¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. Since he had already come to the Wizard Tower and successfully become an apprentice, if he didn¡¯t learn magic and become a true wizard along the way, wouldn¡¯t all these hardships be in vain? However, all the happiness only existed in Peter¡¯s imagination. Learning magic was easier said than done. He was just a small apprentice. Without a teacher¡¯s guidance, learning magic recklessly would only have the opposite effect. It would take at least three years for a student to become a true wizard. Thinking of this, Peter felt a sense of melancholy. ¡°Peter, what are you daydreaming about?¡± At this moment, he was hit on the back of his head. Peter immediately came back to his senses and turned his head. He saw a tall wizard wearing a brown robe approaching. It was a middle-aged man. His brown curly hair was draped behind his head, giving him a wild vibe. Peter knew him. His name was Colot. He was a real wizard! ¡°Come with me. I have something for you to do!¡± Colot ordered. ¡°Yes, sir!¡± Peter quickly dropped the broom in his hand. He was cleaning the library area of the Wizard Tower, which was not part of the main section of the Wizard Tower but located behind it. There was a long corridor connecting the two. Through the corridor, Peter followed behind Colot and arrived at the main tower. ¡°Wait for me here, I¡¯ll be right back,¡± Colot left after saying that. Peter didn¡¯t know what Colot wanted him to do, but he didn¡¯t dare to leave on his own. Being new to this place, he wanted to leave a good impression. After a while, footsteps came from outside the door. Colot returned. Behind him was a man in a black robe who exuded an extremely sinister aura. This man had pale hair and skin, and his figure hidden under the robe appeared extremely thin. His eyes were filled with indescribable crimson, like a wild beast ready to go berserk at any moment! A Dark Wizard! A term flashed through Peter¡¯s mind! He was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, he has already been sealed!¡± Colot noticed Peter¡¯s fear and quickly explained. Only then did Peter regain his composure. He carefully observed and realized that although the Dark Wizard¡¯s aura was terrifying, it was all suppressed. He could sense an invisible restraint that completely suppressed the Dark Wizard¡¯s strength. The source of this invisible restraint was the shackles bound to the Dark Wizard¡¯s hands. ¡°That should be an item with magic power that can suppress the power of a Dark Wizard!¡± Peter secretly remarked. ¡°This is a Dark Wizard who enjoys practicing black magic by drinking human blood. He slaughtered the entire village of 152 people ten kilometers away, committing unforgivable crimes!¡± ¡°The Royal Academy dispatched three senior wizards to capture him, and now he will be imprisoned in our Wizard Tower.¡± Colot briefly described the numerous crimes committed by the Dark Wizard. Peter was stunned. Because this was his first real encounter with Dark Wizards since he arrived in this world. He only knew that they were a group of demons who practiced black magic! In order to practice black magic, they would do all sorts of insane things. Like the one in front of him! Slaughtering the entire village of 152 people, including women and children, was absolutely despicable! Unfortunately. Peter also knew. Many Dark Wizards possessed incredibly mysterious black magic. Simply killing them was often nothing to these guys. They could come back to life through unimaginable methods! So, after capturing a Dark Wizard. The common practice was to permanently seal and imprison them! Although he was only an apprentice wizard, he had heard some things from other wizards. ¡°You, come here.¡± At this moment, Colot suddenly pointed at Peter. He ordered in a serious tone, ¡°I still have other things to deal with. Take this guy to the confinement area at the bottom of the tower!¡± Upon hearing this, Peter was instantly dumbfounded. Lord Colot actually wanted him to single-handedly guard this Dark Wizard? That was outrageous!

Chapter 2 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°After you¡¯re done, come find me in the lounge.¡± Colot added. After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Peter and the Dark Wizard behind. Peter felt helpless. However, he had no choice but to do as he was told. After all, he was just an apprentice wizard, and Colot was a Junior Wizard. He had to follow his orders! Wizards were also divided into ranks. From low to high, they were the apprentice wizards in gray robes, Junior Wizards in brown robes, Intermediate Wizards in blue robes, and Advanced Wizards in white robes. Above the Advanced Wizards were the wizards directly affiliated with the kingdom. Those wizards were of higher rank and had stronger magic powers. Peter had only heard about them in the conversations of the warriors and knew nothing about the details! The highest level in a Wizard Tower was the Inspector General. Usually, an Advanced Wizard would hold that position. Unfortunately, Peter hadn¡¯t been here for long. He had never seen the Inspector General! At that moment, Peter glanced at the Dark Wizard and noticed that the Dark Wizard was also staring at him with a pair of gloomy eyes. The gaze was sharp, making Peter shiver all over. He had no doubt that if it weren¡¯t for the seal, the Dark Wizard would tear him to pieces without hesitation! Swallowing his saliva, Peter summoned his courage. He approached the Dark Wizard, clearly still afraid of him. But when he realized that the Dark Wizard didn¡¯t resist, Peter¡¯s heart gradually relaxed. He bent down and lifted the Dark Wizard up. This guy was really heavy! Peter carried the Dark Wizard to the heavy iron door in a corner of the Wizard Tower. ¡°Creak¡­¡± The iron door slowly opened with a screeching sound. Before him lay darkness and bone-chilling cold. This was the underground area of the Wizard Tower, where Dark Wizards and various dangerous creatures were imprisoned! Generally speaking, no one was allowed to enter this place. But today was an exception! Peter held the Dark Wizard on his shoulder with one hand and an old lantern in the other. The candlelight swayed as he went down the spiral stairs. Peter felt as if he was about to completely blend into the darkness. With the light of the candle, Peter could vaguely see peculiar runes carved on the rough stone walls. Those were symbols imbued with magical power! They formed a powerful seal, imprisoning those dangerous creatures forever in this dark and deep underground. After walking for a long time, Peter finally arrived at the first underground floor. By that point, he had switched from carrying the Dark Wizard to dragging him along. This Dark Wizard had a much stronger physique than a normal human, and ignorant people might mistake him for an orc! Fortunately, this Dark Wizard had already been sealed, allowing Peter to bring him here smoothly. The first underground floor primarily held low-level Dark Wizards, undead, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and other humanoid creatures with relatively low levels of threat. Thus, the area on the first underground floor resembled a regular prison. However, it was not a regular prison. And the inmates held here were far from ordinary! On both sides of the narrow corridor were iron doors engraved with magical symbols. Behind those doors were the imprisoned individuals. They relentlessly pounded on the iron doors, creating a clanging sound. At the same time, mad and eerie voices echoed incessantly. This made Peter, walking among them, feel as if he had entered hell! The deeper he went, the more intense the pervasive cold became. After walking for a while, Peter arrived at an empty cell. After taking a glance, he threw the Dark Wizard inside. Clang! The heavy iron door closed. The runes on the door flickered, indicating that the seal had been established, and the Dark Wizard had been successfully imprisoned! ¡°How tiring!¡± Peter sighed. He used his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The back of his clothes had been soaked with sweat from the work. If only he knew the Levitation Spell! That way, he could easily lock up the Dark Wizard and not spend so much effort. ¡°It seems like I need to meditate and practice diligently to learn magic and become a real wizard as soon as possible!¡± Peter continued to himself. ¡°Otherwise, how can I manage if I don¡¯t even know the most basic Levitation Spell? There will surely be many more tasks like this in the future!¡± Peter set a small goal for himself. With such a high-intensity workload every day, if he didn¡¯t learn these simple spells, he would be kicked out of the Wizard Tower in less than a year. Not to mention other tasks, even something as simple as cleaning would be much easier with Levitation Spell. Some apprentice wizards would use the Levitation Spell to make their cloth float when wiping high windows. It was much easier than climbing up a ladder and wiping slowly! ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll start meditating and practicing once I get back!¡± Peter muttered to himself. After taking a short rest and regaining some strength, Peter prepared to leave. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness. Whoosh! A strange feeling surged up. In a daze, he seemed to see a peculiar-looking magic book. The book wasn¡¯t physical and didn¡¯t appear before his eyes but directly manifested in his mind. The style of the book seemed ancient, as if it had been around for many years. On the cover of the magic book, there was a line of words, which was the title of the book. Codex of All Realms! ¡°Codex of All Realms? What¡¯s this¡­¡± Peter took a deep breath. In his mind, he imagined opening the book, and immediately an invisible hand seemed to follow his command. The pages turned, and the contents were displayed before Peter¡¯s eyes. [Prisoner: Oddssen] [Infamy Level: Three Stars] [Strength: Advanced Wizard, Level Three] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture participation rate: 1%] [Reward: 10 magic power per hour ] ¡­ There was a portrait next to this series of information. It was the Dark Wizard, Oderson, who had just been imprisoned in the dungeon by Peter! There were also images below. Upon closer inspection, Peter realized that the images depicted Oderson, the Dark Wizard, conducting acts such as slaughtering villages, drawing blood from people, and practicing black magic. Was this the information of the Dark Wizard? Peter immediately understood! At the same time, he realized that he might have obtained a fortuitous encounter that belonged to a transmigrator! In this ¡°Codex of All Realms,¡± any Dark Wizard or monster that Peter participated in capturing would be recorded. Furthermore, based on the severity of the criminal¡¯s crimes, their strength, and the level of Peter¡¯s participation in their capture, various levels of rewards would be provided. For example, this Oddssen. Peter had only locked him in a cell and received a reward of 10 magic power per hour!

Chapter 3 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°If I have a 100% capture participation rate, how much reward will it provide me?¡± Peter excitedly wondered. In addition to the information about the prisoner Oddssen, there was also information about himself. [Host: Peter] [Level: Apprentice Wizard, Level 0 (0/100)] [Magic: None] [Magic Power: 100] He knew that magic power could increase his strength. These 100 magic power were given to him when he imprisoned Oddssen. If the prisoner was stronger, he would be given more! Currently, Peter didn¡¯t know any magic, so he was at level zero. At the very least, he needed to learn the most basic magic to be considered a beginner. But no matter what, this was a good start! Peter found that it took 100 magic power to level up. To level up! He chose to level up without hesitation. Instantly, Peter felt a surge of heat flowing into his body. It made him feel incredibly comfortable! The chilling sensation that permeated his body while being in the dungeon was swept away in that instant! [Level: Apprentice Wizard, Level 1 (0/200)] He had indeed leveled up! Peter was extremely excited! He silently sensed it. Although he still didn¡¯t know any magic, he could clearly feel the magic power surging within him. He had successfully become a wizard! One had to know that if he followed the conventional route, he would need to meditate for at least three years before he could successfully produce magic power in his body. But now, this process took less than a second! Not only that. Peter also noticed that his previously weak body had become much stronger! It was truly a surprise! Peter came from a poor family and had suffered from malnutrition since childhood, resulting in his physical fitness being significantly worse than his peers. Now, this problem had been solved! These were just the benefits of reaching the first level as an apprentice wizard. There would be even more benefits to come! Of course. Peter knew. This was the effect of consuming 100 points of magic power. Now that his magic power was completely depleted, reaching the next level would require 200 magic power. Based on the progress of gaining 10 magic power per hour, it would take 20 hours! But it didn¡¯t matter! It meant that as long as he stayed in the Wizard Tower, his strength would continue to improve. Someday, he would definitely become an Advanced Wizard! Peter couldn¡¯t help but start to envision a bright future! All of this was thanks to the amazing magic book! ¡­ Nighttime. Peter returned to his dormitory. All the apprentice wizards resided in several cottages on the left side of the Wizard Tower. Each room accommodated many people, making the already simple rooms appear even more cluttered. It was late at night. Everyone blew out the candles and went back to their beds to rest. Peter couldn¡¯t sleep. If everything went as planned, he would be able to obtain 200 magic power by tomorrow evening! By then, in addition to leveling up, he would also have to consider learning magic. It would be pathetic if he improved his strength but didn¡¯t know any magic! So, Peter began to make various plans for himself. He didn¡¯t know how much time had passed before he gradually drifted off to sleep. ¡­ The next day. Peter got up very early. Because he had encountered the underground area yesterday, Junior Wizard Colot, who was responsible for managing the apprentice wizards, specifically assigned Peter to the underground area. He was tasked with patrolling the Wizard Tower. Especially the underground areas! They needed to ensure the seals in the underground area remained intact at all times. If there was any damage, Peter had to promptly inform Colot. Then they would reinforce the seals to prevent those guys from escaping! At the same time, Peter had to use the handbook to verify the prisoners one by one. This was his daily job, a boring and dry job. Fortunately, Peter only needed to patrol the first underground floor. The lower regions naturally had more powerful wizards on patrol! Today, Peter was patrolling while checking the list of prisoners in the handbook. At this moment, Peter arrived at the door where the Dark Wizard Oddssen, from yesterday, was being held. Bang! Suddenly, a muffled sound startled Peter as he passed by. He looked in the direction of the iron door and saw a face appearing through the small window on the door. It was the Dark Wizard Oddssen! ¡°Water, I need water¡­¡± Oderson¡¯s voice was hoarse. Only now did Peter realize that since being imprisoned here, Oddssen hadn¡¯t eaten or drunk anything. Although the Dark Wizard was extremely wicked, he still needed water. Perhaps Peter should really find him some water to drink. Otherwise, he might die of thirst! But then Peter thought about the terrifying scenes from yesterday. Coupled with the fact that Dark Wizards were cunning individuals, who knew if Oddssen would set a trap for him? This made Peter shudder with fear! ¡°Please, give me some water to drink. I¡¯m dying of thirst¡­¡± Oddssen begged. Looking at him, it seemed like he was really thirsty. He even tried to stretch his hand out of the small window. But as soon as his hand touched the window, a bolt of electricity flashed, causing Oddssen to scream in agony. Peter didn¡¯t dare to get close, but he was afraid that Oddssen would die. Because if he died, Peter would lose his only source of magic power. Thinking of this, Peter overcame his fear and said to Oddson, ¡°Wait a moment!¡± Said that, he turned around and ran out. After a while, he came back with a kettle. Aside from the monsters that didn¡¯t require food, there were still many humans among those imprisoned here. Like these Dark Wizards. Therefore, the Wizard Tower would regularly provide them with food. On the door of the cell, there was a small opening designed specifically for delivering food without triggering the seal on the door. Peter poured the water into the small opening, and Oddssen immediately leaned down and started gulping it from the trough behind the door. After doing all this, Peter turned around and left. However, he had another thought in his mind. That was, although the magic book could bring him magic power to increase his strength, it needed the imprisoned person to be alive. If he died, he would lose his source of magic power. This was a drawback! As he thought about it, Peter had already left the underground area and returned to the Wizard Tower. As he walked, he was thinking, but he accidentally bumped into someone. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± Peter quickly apologized. At the same time, he raised his head. What entered his eyes was a white robe! Looking up along the robe. What Peter saw was a strand of white beard hanging down to the chest and a face that, despite being wrinkled and slightly aged, exuded a dignified aura. This was¡­ Advanced Wizard, the Inspector General Alfred!

Chapter 4 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Nice to see you, Inspector General!¡± Peter immediately greeted Alfred. Alfred, with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly in response to Peter¡¯s greeting. After exchanging greetings, Peter stood silently on the side, not daring to leave without permission. ¡°Are you the new recruit, Peter?¡± Alfred finally spoke. ¡°Yes!¡± Peter replied. ¡°Bring the Dark Wizard who was imprisoned yesterday to the interrogation room!¡± Alfred commanded before turning around and leaving. As Peter watched Alfred¡¯s retreating figure, he breathed a sigh of relief. He could clearly sense the powerful aura emanating from the Inspector General. He was very cautious and dare not to even breathe too loudly in his presence. ¡°Why bring Oddssen to the interrogation room? Are they going to start interrogating him?¡± Peter wondered. But he knew it wasn¡¯t his place to question. The only thing he could do was follow Alfred¡¯s instructions. And so, Peter arrived on the first underground floor. He escorted Oddssen out of the prison and into the interrogation room. Inside the well-lit room, Alfred was already seated. Taking advantage of the lighting, Peter finally got a clear look at Oddssen¡¯s appearance. Under his disheveled and tangled long hair was an extremely handsome face. Despite looking weak, his eyes emitted a sinister aura that hadn¡¯t diminished in the slightest. Especially after seeing Alfred, that aura became even stronger! Peter brought Oddssen in front of Alfred and then stepped aside. He didn¡¯t leave the interrogation room because he would be responsible for returning Oddssen to the dungeon later. ¡°You old fool, we meet again!¡± Oddssen glared at Alfred with a hoarse voice, filled with uncontrollable anger. ¡°Reveal the location of your organization¡¯s hideout, and I can spare you from punishment!¡± Alfred didn¡¯t answer his words directly but stated his purpose. Their organization? Could it be that behind this Dark Wizard, there was another group? ¡°Do all these Dark Wizards enjoy consuming human blood like him?¡± ¡°It¡¯s truly terrifying!¡± Peter secretly pondered as he listened to their conversation. ¡°So many Dark Wizards, how many horrific disasters had they caused!¡± Fortunately, he now had a magic book. Otherwise, in such a world, he wouldn¡¯t even know how to survive! ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡°Those who join our organization have absolute loyalty. You¡¯ll never get any information from me!¡± Oddssen replied firmly. ¡°Swoosh!¡± Alfred didn¡¯t say another word. But he raised his hand. Peter saw a white light shoot out from his fingertip. In the blink of an eye, it struck Oddssen¡¯s heart! ¡°Ah¡­¡± Oddssen cried out in agony, his face contorting instantly. It was a Heart-Piercing Spell! Peter recognized it. He had read about it in the library during his spare time. The Heart-Piercing Spell was a terrifying form of magic that caused the heart to experience excruciating pain as if it were being drilled through. This was an advanced and cruel form of magic that was generally prohibited due to its nature. Therefore, in the magic books Peter had seen, there were only descriptions of the characteristics of the Heart-Piercing Spell, but no detailed incantations. He never expected that the seemingly amiable Inspector General Alfred possessed such a ruthless interrogation method! Starting with the Heart-Piercing Spell! Sweat poured down Oddssen¡¯s forehead due to the intense pain, wetting his hair and sticking it closely to his scalp. But even in this state, he showed no intention of revealing any information about the organization behind him. This made Alfred furrow his brow slightly. ¡°You won¡¯t speak?¡± Alfred muttered softly. Then, he waved his hand again. Peter did not see anything special. There was neither light nor magical power. However, very quickly. Peter noticed that something was wrong with Oddssen. The expression on his face became increasingly grim, and his eyes widened as if he could suffocate at any moment. What¡¯s wrong with him? He suffocated! Oxygen Deprivation! A term quickly came to Peter¡¯s mind. This spell could deprive the victim of oxygen, whether it ultimately led to suffocation and death or kept the victim in the agonizing state of near-asphyxiation, entirely depended on the mood of the spellcaster! Another cruel magic! Was this what interrogation looked like? It¡¯s too cruel! The magic used was something like Heart-Piercing Spell and Oxygen Deprivation. They were all about torturing people with magic. Peter felt speechless. He felt like he was dealing with an even darker wizard! However, Oddssen still showed no intention of speaking. He was truly tough! Seeing that Oddssen still wouldn¡¯t speak, Alfred waved his hand again. ¡°Hoo, hoo, hoo¡­¡± Only then did Oddssen recover. He greedily breathed in the fresh air, his fierce expression showing no signs of diminishing. ¡°Don¡¯t think that by not saying a word, you can escape punishment!¡± ¡°We will do everything to capture your accomplices. We will keep you imprisoned here¡­waiting for more interrogation and punishment!¡± ¡°No Dark Wizard can escape from here, and no Dark Wizard can endure until the end. We have plenty of time and patience!¡± Alfred stood up. He glanced at Peter and said, ¡°Take him back and lock him up!¡± ¡°Yes, sir!¡± Peter replied. ¡­ [Prisoner: Oddssen] [Infamy Level: Three stars] [Strength: Advanced Wizard, Level Three] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture Participation Rate: 2%] [Reward: 12 magic power/hour] ¡­ He took him back. Just then, a voice echoed in Peter¡¯s mind. He discovered that his capture participation rate had increased. Correspondingly, the reward had also increased slightly. Though it was just a little, it was enough to make Peter feel delighted! ¡°This means that as long as I participate in the capture and interrogation work, I can receive rewards from every prisoner who passes through my hands!¡± Peter had previously felt regretful. In this underground area, there were so many powerful prisoners, but he couldn¡¯t gain any rewards from them. Now it seemed that wasn¡¯t the case! ¡­ Nightfall. Peter had successfully accumulated 200 magic power. To level up! Without hesitation, he upgraded his level to apprentice wizard level 2! At the same time, he realized that he had automatically learned some basic magic spells he had previously read in the library. Such as the Levitation Spell! This was fantastic! If he could learn those advanced magic spells, wouldn¡¯t he be able to have more power in this Wizard Tower? However, after giving it some thought, Peter reminded himself not to rush. Only when his strength became powerful enough could he survive in this Wizard Tower where strong opponents and dangers coexisted!

Chapter 5 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio To learn a spell, one needed to know the spell¡¯s incantation in advance. Peter had seen some of the incantations of basic magic before. Unfortunately, high-level magic was strictly monitored by the authorities. If Peter wanted to learn, he could only wait. However, Peter was already very satisfied with the current result! [Level: Apprentice Wizard, Level 2 (0/400)] The amount of magic power required to level up increased significantly with each level. The next time Peter wanted to upgrade, it would take two days! ¡­ The next morning. Peter was still patrolling the area on the first underground floor. In his free time today, he did a test and found that not all Dark Wizards could be registered in the magic book. Only those who were truly evil, who had killed and done evildoings, would be successfully registered in the magic book. However, for the kingdom, as long as one practiced black magic, they would be Dark Wizards and the Dark Wizards would be killed or captured. Some of the unlucky ones were caught before they could commit crimes. These were the ones who could not be registered! In the afternoon, another Dark Wizard was about to be interrogated. When Peter brought him out of the prison, the Dark Wizard¡¯s information was successfully registered in the spellbook. [Prisoner: Jack] [Infamy Level: Two Stars] [Strength: Advanced Wizard, Level one] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture Participation Rate: 1%] [Reward: 8 magic power/hour] ¡­ This Dark Wizard was clearly weaker than Oddssen. However, even if he could only get 1 magic power per hour, Peter wouldn¡¯t mind. What he needed the most now was to make himself stronger! The more prisoners registered, the better! After bringing Jack to the interrogation room, Peter continued to stand at the side and watch the interrogation as before. However, Alfred was not the one who participated in the interrogation this time. There was just an ordinary Advanced Wizard. Perhaps it was because Jack¡¯s level of danger and overall strength was not as high as Oddssen¡¯s! But it was the same as before. When they interrogated Jack, they still used all kinds of cruel magic. However, Jack was too weak. He could not hold back. During the cruel interrogation, he kept screaming. In the end, he actually died in the interrogation room! He was killed! Peter was dumbfounded when he saw Jack die in front of him! It was not easy to register this prisoner. He died just like that? Even though he could only give him 8 magic power per hour, with Oddson¡¯s 12 magic power, he had a total of 20. It was still very considerable! Moreover, as the capture participation rate increased, the magic power would also increase. But in the end¡­ He actually died just like that? This made Peter feel extremely disappointed. This meant that he lost one source of magic power! ¡°Peter, take his body to the crematorium!¡± The Advanced Wizard ordered. ¡°Yes, sir!¡± Peter answered quickly. For many Dark Wizards, killing them was not the best way to deal with them. It was better to imprison them forever. However, if an accident occurred and caused the death of a Dark Wizard, the Wizard Tower would have a corresponding method to deal with it. The method was to bring the corpse to the crematorium while keeping the seal intact and let the wizards there use purification magic and fire magic to completely destroy the corpse! At this moment, Peter dragged the body to the crematorium. He was very disappointed. A good source of magic power had died just like that! Just as Peter was disappointed, a notification came from the magic book. [The prisoner is dead, and the host can extract one magic spell from all the magic spells the deceased knew before death!] This voice instantly dispelled Peter¡¯s displeasure. He could extract magic? That was fantastic! ¡°Is this considered extracting the last trace of residual value?¡± Peter was overjoyed. Of course, he also knew that quality mattered more than quantity. So Peter didn¡¯t want the future prisoners to die so easily! Compared to that, he hoped that more and more prisoners would be registered so that he could gain more magic power. And his strength would quickly become stronger! ¡°Extract!¡± Peter didn¡¯t hesitate at all. He immediately performed the extraction. [Congratulations, host, you have obtained the magic: Wings of the Gale!] The prompt sound rang out. At the same time, relevant information about Wings of the Gale also flooded into Peter¡¯s mind. It was a flying magic. Generally, only Advanced Wizards could learn flying magic, but he learned it now. Thanks to the magical book! Peter couldn¡¯t wait to test the magic he had just learned. He quickly finished his work and went to a corner where no one was present. As he chanted the incantation, a pair of translucent wings appeared behind him. Each magic spell corresponded to an incantation. Unless one was very proficient in the magic, an average wizard needed to chant the incantation to cast magic. Peter was excited. He tried the wings he had just acquired. Whoosh! At that moment, Peter felt like he had truly become a bird. Or rather, he had actually grown wings! With a gentle flap, his body soared into the air and flew a long distance away! The feeling was amazing! Unfortunately, Peter¡¯s magic power was limited. This advanced magic consumed a lot of magic power! Therefore, the duration of Wings of the Gale was not very long. He only flew a distance of ten kilometers. But for now, it was sufficient for Peter. He was only an apprentice wizard at level 2, and the Wizard Tower would not let him participate in combat. Even if he encountered danger, flying ten kilometers was enough to escape. Moreover, his strength would improve. By tomorrow night, he would successfully level up to apprentice wizard Level 3! At that time, his magic power would become stronger, and the distance he could fly in one go would be greater! And if he wanted to learn flying magic under normal circumstances, he would have to wait until he was promoted to an Advanced Wizard and gain access to tightly controlled magic books. Now, he could simply extract it. It meant that as long as he use extraction, he could obtain various advanced magic in the future! If there had to be a drawback, it was that his luck this time was not good, and he didn¡¯t extract any attacking magic! Peter still lacked methods of attack. When he truly faced danger, he could only escape. It seemed he would have to wait for next time. ¡­ Thinking about all this, Peter¡¯s mood became better. The psychological impact brought by the Dark Wizard¡¯s death had completely disappeared. ¡°It seems like this Dark Wizard¡¯s death is quite good. At least it brought me a flying magic!¡± Peter thought to himself. At the same time, he returned to the Wizard Tower along the same path. Regardless, this was his secret, and he couldn¡¯t let others notice anything unusual!

Chapter 6 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The next morning, Peter patrolled the first ground floor as usual. During this period, he had already gotten used to this kind of life. ¡°Peter, bring out the prisoner in room 1-13!¡± At this moment. He heard Collot shout. ¡°OK!¡± Peter replied. He proceeded to the area outside room 1-13. 1 represented the first underground floor, and 13 was the room number. Since Peter came here, he had never seen what the person in room 13 looked like. Peter only knew that this person was very reclusive because he always hid his body in the dark shadows of the cell. When Peter delivered his meals, the prisoner never responded. The only impression Peter had of this prisoner was the pair of eyes that always peered at him from the shadows. Those eyes were as cold as a venomous snake. Today, they were going to interrogate this person? This sparked Peter¡¯s curiosity. Peter opened the cell door and brought the prisoner out. As soon as their bodies made contact, the person¡¯s information appeared in the magic book. At the same time, Peter received a notification. [Prisoner: Fein] [Infamy Level: Three Stars] [Strength: Advanced Wizard, Level Three] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture Participation Rate: 1%] [Reward: 10 magic power/hour] ¡­ This person¡¯s strength and reward were the same as Oddssen¡¯s. After registering, Fein would bring Peter a reward of 10 magic power per hour, which made him very happy. This meant that he would now gain 22 magic power every hour! It was double what he used to get! Peter took Fein to the interrogation room, where an Advanced Wizard had been waiting for a while. It seemed that Fein wasn¡¯t someone particularly important. By now, Peter was familiar with some of the rules of the Wizard Tower. If the prisoner was of great importance, the Inspector General, Alfred, would personally conduct the interrogation. But if it was just an ordinary prisoner, an Advanced Wizard would handle the job. Just like today with Fein. After throwing Fein into the interrogation room, Peter stood silently on the side, observing the entire process as he had done before. ¡°No matter how much you interrogate me, I won¡¯t tell what I know. Don¡¯t waste your effort!¡± Fire seemed to spew from Fein¡¯s eyes as he spoke. At the same time, Peter, who was observing, felt that Fein was just like Oddssen. Stubborn! Extremely difficult to extract information from. ¡°Is that so?¡± The Advanced Wizard didn¡¯t believe Fein¡¯s words. He directly used the Oxygen Deprivation spell! In just a second, Fein was engulfed in the agonizing pain of suffocating. At the same time, the Advanced Wizard used spells like the Heart-Piercing Spell and Freezing Spell, subjecting Fein to excruciating pain and torment. ¡°I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll tell you everything¡­¡± In less than five minutes, Fein completely surrendered. He struggled to utter those words, visibly in great pain. Undoubtedly, he had completely given up! This left Peter speechless. Didn¡¯t you just claim that you wouldn¡¯t talk? And now you surrendered so quickly! Clearly, Fein wasn¡¯t as stubborn as Oddssen. Just a little punishment, and he spilled everything he knew! ¡°Very good!¡± The Advanced Wizard finally smiled. After the interrogation, Fein seemed to be half-dead, collapsing weakly to the ground, without any strength to get up. Similarly, Peter took Fein back to the first underground floor and locked him up. ¡­ During lunchtime, when the prisoners were being served their meals, Oddssen glared at Peter fiercely and refused to eat. It seemed like he held a grudge against Peter, but Peter wasn¡¯t afraid because he had gotten used to it. After finishing his work, Colot asked Peter to clean up and gather at the entrance. Peter found it strange. Because he noticed that Colot¡¯s tone was urgent, as if something important was about to happen. Moreover, Colot emphasized the need for Peter to clean himself up. It seemed that something big was going to happen today, and Peter needed to face it with the best appearance. This had never happened before! Regardless, Peter didn¡¯t dare to be negligent. After acknowledging, he quickly cleaned himself up and followed Colot to the entrance. At that moment, he was surprised to find that all the wizards in the Wizard Tower had gathered together. Even Inspector General Alfred stood here with a serious expression, which astonished Peter. He didn¡¯t know what was going on. Could they be waiting for someone important? Peter became more certain about his guess. Soon, his question was answered. A person approached from afar. It was a woman, tall and wearing golden armor. The heavy armor on her didn¡¯t seem burdensome at all, but rather added to her powerful aura. Especially under the sunlight. Peter didn¡¯t dare to meet her gaze due to her imposing presence! Peter knew that she was a member of the Knights Templar of the Kingdom! But how could a Templar Knight be here? Peter felt puzzled. Templar Knights were different from wizards. They were a group of people skilled in powerful physical combat techniques! They were the most outstanding warriors in the kingdom! After this lady arrived in front of everyone, she scanned the surroundings with contempt and said disdainfully, ¡°Is this all the manpower the Greyrock Wizard Tower has? How weak!¡± ¡°Indeed, she was a Templar Knight, so arrogant!¡± Peter thought to himself. The wizard tower they were in was called the Greyrock Wizard Tower because it was named after a nearby mountain called Greyrock. ¡°The Greyrock Wizard Tower is not a large wizard tower, and our manpower is limited.¡± Alfred replied. Peter noticed that even the Inspector General showed some respect toward her. Next, the woman and the Inspector General engaged in a conversation, and Peter realized that their words contained information about the deeper underground levels. Peter knew that the Wizard Tower had more than one underground level. But it was the first time he heard someone directly mention the deeper levels! ¡°You, come with me to receive the prisoner!¡± After the lady knight finished speaking, she pointed at Peter and the others. She didn¡¯t show any respect at all! Everyone felt a sense of imminent danger, realizing that the prisoners escorted by a Templar Knight personally must be someone special! Peter became extremely nervous. However, when he saw the target, Peter was shocked because he was a short, chubby, and amiable old man who even showed politeness to Peter and the others along the way. After imprisoning him, Peter discovered that the Codex of All Realms had successfully registered the information of the prisoner. [Prisoner: Blasphemer Welch] [Infamy Level: Seven Stars] [Strength: Advanced Wizard, Level Nine] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture Participation Rate: 1%] [Reward: 70 magic power per hour] If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 7 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°His infamy level is seven stars. What a terrifying fellow!¡± Peter was surprised. He was so stunned that he stood there for a long time before he came back to his senses. Peter was curious and wanted to know the identity of this person, so he ran to ask Colot. He felt that Colot might know something. Even though Colot was only the supervisor of apprentice wizards. But no matter what, his status was still higher than the lowest-ranked apprentice wizards. Upon hearing Peter¡¯s question, Colot glanced at him, his face turning grim. ¡°It¡¯s better for you not to inquire about Welch¡¯s affairs. I¡¯m afraid it will give you nightmares,¡± Colot said mysteriously. ¡°Nightmares? No, I¡¯m not scared. I have a strong nerve,¡± Peter replied confidently. Instead of deterring Peter, Colot¡¯s words only fueled his curiosity, and he was eager to uncover the truth. ¡°Hmph.¡± Colot snorted. After a brief pause, he continued, ¡°I know young folks like you are often curious, but you should understand that in this world, knowing too much isn¡¯t always a good thing!¡± Colot¡¯s tone seemed to carry a hint of intimidation toward Peter. Regardless, Colot proceeded to reveal information about Welch to Peter. ¡°You should know that apart from the deities worshipped by the kingdom, there are also forces that worship the Chaos Gods in this world.¡± Colot asked Peter. Peter nodded repeatedly. In many horror stories, cult organizations that worship the Chaos Gods were eternal antagonists, and the Chaos Gods they worshipped were terrifying individuals. Since he was a child, Peter¡¯s mother often scared him with similar stories. ¡°Welch is a high-ranking member of a cult organization. They worship a Chaos God and have committed countless evil deeds. To apprehend him this time, they even sacrificed an Advanced Wizard.¡± Colot¡¯s words sent shivers down Peter¡¯s spine. At the same time, he recalled the matter of deeper underground levels. An Advanced Level 9 Wizard could only be imprisoned on the first underground floor, so what could be lurking in the deeper levels? With this thought in mind, Peter couldn¡¯t help but feel even more curious and asked about it. Colot shrugged. With a casual gesture, he said, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m not entirely sure what¡¯s down there because I¡¯m only a Junior Wizard in charge of managing apprentice wizards like you. I don¡¯t deal with anything else¡­¡± ¡°Previously, there were no patrols in the underground areas of the Wizard Tower because it was too dangerous. But for some reason, the Inspector General recently decided to assign patrols. Previously, only food delivery, prisoner confinement, and interrogations were conducted in the underground areas, and no one else would enter!¡± ¡°I can clearly sense that something significant is about to happen. Not just in our Wizard Tower, but all the Wizard Towers have been strengthening their defenses. Some larger and higher-level towers have even stationed knights!¡± So that¡¯s the case! Peter immediately understood. However, he also realized that Colot probably didn¡¯t have much more information about the impending events. So, asking him would likely be in vain. ¡°Even so, the Inspector General only assigned you to patrol the first underground floor, not the deeper areas, because they are too dangerous.¡± ¡°But I¡¯ve heard from the conversations among the Advanced Wizards that what¡¯s imprisoned deeper down is even more terrifying and unimaginable.¡± Colot added. These words left a deep impression on Peter, making him wonder what else could be lurking in the lower levels. Considering that the first floor already housed ghosts, undead, werewolves, vampires, and powerful Advanced Level 9 Wizards, how much more horrifying could the second and third floors be? He dared not imagine! ¡­ In the evening, as expected, Peter accumulated enough magic power and spent 400 points of magic power to successfully upgrade himself to a level 3 Apprentice Wizard. [Level: Apprentice Wizard, Level 3 (0/800)] Although the required magic power for each subsequent level doubles, Peter is now able to gain 22 points of magic power per hour. That meant he could level up again in just 37 hours. It¡¯s only a little less than two days! It¡¯s really great! ¡°With a higher level and stronger magic power, it should be easier for me to use the Wings of the Gale now.¡± Peter thought. At the same time, he arrived at an uninhabited place. Whoosh! A gust of wind blew, and Peter flapped his wings, flying into the air. Then, he shot out like a bolt of lightning. Peter¡¯s speed was much faster than before, and he noticed that he could fly much farther now. This gave Peter the illusion that he had become a bird! Regardless, Peter was thrilled. He had become even stronger! And the magic book now recorded a powerful prisoner, bringing him more rewards! Peter was filled with anticipation for the future! With that in mind, Peter became curious about Welch. He couldn¡¯t help but open the Codex of All Realms and see what kind of things Welch had done. Especially the nickname ¡°Blasphemer¡± intrigued him! Who did he blaspheme? Just like with Oddssen before, beneath Welch¡¯s basic information on the book¡¯s pages, there were also images displayed. Peter randomly opened one and found the content of the image to be quite gruesome. In a dim laboratory, Welch was sewing together some pieces of corpses with needles and thread. Then, he performed magic and unleashed a lightning bolt on the twisted and deformed body. Before long, an ugly monster with a wolf¡¯s head, human body, and bull¡¯s horns was born. Next, Peter opened other images. He found that these images were all similar. They depicted Welch creating various twisted and deformed monsters! This person was truly a madman. He actually attempted to study necromancy and ended up creating many distorted and deformed monsters! This greatly shocked Peter. No wonder he¡¯s called ¡°Blasphemer Welch.¡± Necromancy was blasphemous to the gods. After returning to his residence, Peter couldn¡¯t sleep all night. He felt that the danger of this world had far exceeded his imagination and lamented that he was still too weak!

Chapter 8 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The next morning, Peter got up early. Apart from patrolling every day, he also had an important task, which was to deliver food to the prisoners. In this world, most ordinary people ate very simple food. For example, when Peter was at home, he could only eat black bread made of wheat bran. The black bread was coarse, hard, and bitter. Peter had no doubt that it could even be used as a weapon. Stewed potatoes and carrots were considered luxury goods. On average, they could only eat a small piece of meat a week. After coming here, because the kingdom distributed resources, the wizards¡¯ food became more abundant and delicious. For example, the staple bread was soft and tasty, and the vegetable soup was also good. In addition, each meal included a piece of beef or mutton. In contrast, the food for the prisoners was not as good. They only received a piece of black bread mixed with wood chips and a bowl of vegetable soup. Peter distributed the food one by one and soon arrived at the cell where Welch was held. However, he had no intention of staying here with Welch. Because as a newcomer, Welch couldn¡¯t receive any food. The prisoners here would be starved for three days as a punishment. Even wizards would be completely exhausted after three days without food. Previously, Odssen was so thirsty during this period that he asked Peter for water. But compared to Odssen, Welch was in much better condition. As Peter passed by his cell, he glanced inside and saw Welch sitting silently without moving. His clothes were clean and tidy, as if he was a guest here. If Peter hadn¡¯t seen the twisted things Welch did last night, he would have thought this Mr. Welch was a polite gentleman. Twisted and gentle, two identities combined in one person. It was truly fascinating! However, at that moment, Welch and Peter locked eyes! This gave Peter a feeling of being electrified. Welch smiled, and that smile looked somewhat eerie. He spoke, ¡°You are a promising student of magic, but it¡¯s a pity that you can only do odd jobs here as the lowliest apprentice wizard. What a waste!¡± Peter was taken aback and frowned slightly as he looked at Welch. ¡°Especially with forbidden black magic beyond the kingdom¡¯s jurisdiction, you would be even freer and achieve greater success!¡± Welch continued to speak. Peter didn¡¯t want to have any contact with this dangerous and twisted individual, so he simply ignored Welch¡¯s words. However, he soon discovered a problem. He realized that Welch¡¯s words seemed to have the power to bewitch. As each syllable entered his ears, Peter felt a resonance in his heart. He suddenly felt that Welch¡¯s words made sense! No! This was temptation! Peter suddenly realized. He realized that he had almost been influenced by Welch¡¯s words just now. This person was truly terrifying. Merely speaking was enough to affect others and generate negative thoughts. It took a great effort for Peter to resist it! He thought that the next time he came here, he should wear earplugs and absolutely not listen to Welch¡¯s words! But he wasn¡¯t sure if Welch¡¯s words would penetrate the earplugs and directly enter his mind. ¡°Forget it!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s do it anyway!¡± Peter thought. After delivering the meals, Peter packed up his things and saw Colot. ¡°The Inspector General wants you to come.¡± Colot said. ¡°Okay.¡± Peter didn¡¯t dare to slack off. Since it was an order from the Inspector General, he should hurry up and go. Entering the Inspector General¡¯s office, Peter immediately asked, ¡°Inspector General, do you want me to do anything?¡± ¡°Take Oddssen to the interrogation room!¡± Alfred said. ¡°Oddssen? Alright!¡± Peter quickly nodded. These days had been really busy! However, Peter was also very curious. During this period, the Inspector General interrogated Oddssen every day, using various cruel punishments each time. Even though Peter was just observing from the side, he felt a deep sense of fear, as if those punishments were being used on him. But Oddssen remained stubborn and didn¡¯t say a word, which was quite unexpected. Over time, Peter developed a certain level of admiration for Oddssen. Of course, it didn¡¯t mean he had any positive feelings toward Oddssen. Because he knew Oddssen was a complete pervert! He had killed so many people and deserved a thousand deaths! Peter simply thought it was impressive that Oddssen could endure for such a long time! And the Inspector General and the others were truly formidable. If they couldn¡¯t get any information from Oddssen, did they plan to continue like this indefinitely? Testing each other¡¯s endurance? Thinking about this, Peter couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°If we can¡¯t extract any information, do we just keep going like this?¡± As soon as Peter asked the question, he felt that he had made a mistake. No matter what, he shouldn¡¯t have asked such a question. This kind of thing was not something someone of his position should know! But then he realized that he might have been overthinking. Because Alfred didn¡¯t show any anger, instead giving a calm response, ¡°We¡¯ll try a different approach this time. Go and bring him.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Peter didn¡¯t say much. He noticed a mysterious smile on the Inspector General¡¯s face. Clearly, he was hiding something, but he had no intention of telling Peter at the moment. Peter knew. He had no right to inquire about those matters. Now, the only thing he could do was to bring Oddssen, nothing more. He turned and left, heading to the first underground floor. When Peter arrived at Oddssen¡¯s cell, he noticed that Oddssen seemed very anxious. ¡°Oddssen, it¡¯s time to go to the interrogation room.¡± Today, Peter took the initiative to speak to Oddssen. After saying that, he opened the cell door and led Oddssen out. But Peter quickly noticed something. Oddssen appeared very nervous, even walking unsteadily. ¡°Do me a favor, and I¡¯ll give you something good!¡± Suddenly, Oddssen seemed to have made a decision. He lifted his head and said to Peter. This surprised Peter greatly! And Oddssen seemed resolute, giving the impression that he wasn¡¯t lying but genuinely had something to ask of Peter.

Chapter 9 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Peter thought about it but ignored him. He believed that these Dark Wizards were all liars and not worthy of trust. Therefore, he only planned to bring Oddssen to the interrogation room. This made Oddson unable to hold back! His voice sounded a bit urgent as he immediately said to Peter, ¡°I have a lot of money and treasures. As long as you help me deliver a message to someone, I can tell you the location of the treasure!¡± As his words fell, Peter also stopped in his tracks. Oddssen thought that his words might have had some effect. So, he continued, ¡°I know you must be someone who is not content with a mediocre life. I figured that out the moment I saw you.¡± ¡°And this place has no future for you. Trust me, even if you work here until you¡¯re forty or fifty, at most, you¡¯ll end up like Colot, a mere supervisor. Apart from basic needs, you¡¯ll live under the rule of your superiors every day!¡± ¡°But if you get my money, it will be different. You can buy an estate with that money, marry a beautiful wife, have a few lively and adorable children, and live a worry-free life of wealth and luxury.¡± Oddssen believed that his words were extremely tempting. After observing for these few days, he believed that Peter had come to the Wizard Tower just to secure his livelihood. There were many people like that in the Wizard Tower! That¡¯s why he used money and treasures to tempt Peter! He believed there was no reason for Peter to refuse him! However, the reality turned out to be beyond his expectations. Peter simply ignored his words. ¡°Does this guy not like money?¡± Oddssen wondered in his heart. He pondered for a while and thought of something. Quickly, Oddssen changed his approach and said, ¡°Perhaps you don¡¯t want to be an ordinary estate owner. You can hand over this wealth to the authorities. For you, it would be a great achievement that would make you receive recognition from them, get promoted, become a supervisor like Colot, or even hold a higher position than him!¡± However, Peter still ignored him. This made Oddssen anxious! He didn¡¯t want to get rich, and didn¡¯t want a promotion, so what did this person want? But that didn¡¯t stump Oddssen. He quickly thought of something else. So, he changed his approach once again and said, ¡°I know you have already acquired some basic magic skills. I can teach you many advanced magics, whether permitted magic or forbidden black magic.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to become a Dark Wizard pursued by the authorities, you can just learn the officially permitted magic. I can teach you all of it. How about that? It should definitely satisfy you, right?¡± After finishing his words, Oddssen believed that Peter would definitely agree this time. But the result he got was Peter once again ignoring him. Oddssen felt extremely speechless. He thought. ¡°What on earth does this guy, Peter, want to do?¡± ¡°Is he deaf or something!¡± At this point, Peter finally stopped what he was doing. He looked at Oddssen, which ignited a glimmer of hope in Oddssen¡¯s heart. ¡°If it were someone else, perhaps they would have been persuaded by you. Unfortunately, I don¡¯t want to get rich, I don¡¯t want a promotion, and I don¡¯t want any of your magic. I just want to stay in the Wizard Tower and do my own thing.¡± Peter¡¯s tone was plain as he honestly expressed his thoughts. But as Oddssen heard Peter¡¯s indifferent tone, he almost lost his temper! This fellow¡­ He was simply an idiot! He was an idiot that he had never seen in his life! ¡°You, you¡¯re truly an ignorant bumpkin, lacking ambition, beyond redemption! It serves you right to spend your whole life confined to the Wizard Tower, doing the lowliest of jobs, never achieving anything!¡± Odssen couldn¡¯t suppress his anger any longer and unleashed all his fury upon Peter, venting without restraint. But Peter remained indifferent, as if he hadn¡¯t heard a word from Oddssen. Peter could simply flip through the Codex of All Realms and find the locations of the treasures Oddssen had hidden, based on the images. So, if he wanted the treasures left by Oddssen, he didn¡¯t need to ask the man himself. As for magic, as long as he stayed here, he could steadily acquire magical power from the prisoners to enhance himself. And if the prisoners in the Wizard Tower were executed, he could directly extract the magic they possessed without even learning or worrying about it! Therefore, these temptations from Oddssen held absolutely no attraction for Peter. He even suspected that Oddssen¡¯s eagerness to make a deal with him was because the Inspector General might be planning to execute him. After all this time, being unable to obtain the information needed from Oddssen, it was better to kill him than keep him around! As for how the Inspector General planned to deal with Odssen, that was not something Peter needed to consider! In that case, he could immediately obtain Odssen¡¯s magic, even if it was just one spell, it would still be enough to satisfy Peter. Who knows if Oddssen had set a trap for him behind this seemingly enticing transaction? Peter didn¡¯t want to take that risk! But Peter also had his own plans. He searched the Codex of All Realms and indeed found the hiding place of Oddssen¡¯s treasures, which made Peter reveal a triumphant smile. Next, he brought Oddssen to the interrogation room. Throughout the journey, Odssen ranted like a madman, incessantly cursing and hurling his most malicious words at Peter. As a Dark Wizard, he might possess curse magic. Unfortunately, he was currently in a sealed state. Those malicious curses were nothing more than foul language, causing dryness in his own mouth, and serving no purpose at all. Arriving at the interrogation room, Peter truthfully reported the matter of Oddssen¡¯s hidden treasures, even disclosing the location. This left Odssen dumbfounded! ¡°How do you know about my hiding place?¡± He couldn¡¯t help but blurted out, forgetting the occasion. ¡°You revealed it in your sleep talking!¡± Peter glanced at him. ¡°I had a habit of talking in my sleep?¡± Oddssen could hardly believe it! No wonder this guy was not swayed by his temptations! Originally, he wanted to play a trick and get rid of this guy because his accomplices were at the hiding place. If this guy dared to go there, he would undoubtedly meet his doom! But unexpectedly, he fell into Peter¡¯s trap! This guy was extremely cunning! The Inspector General, upon hearing Peter¡¯s report, appeared pleased and asked, ¡°You reported this matter to me, and I am pleased. What reward do you want? I can grant you a level three magic!¡± He knew that Peter had learned some basic magic and believed that Peter had some talent in magic. However, Peter shook his head and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t want magic. I want a promotion. I don¡¯t want to be a patroller anymore. I want to become a full-fledged wizard and even the captain of the patrol team!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 10 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Oh?¡± Alfred looked at Peter with some surprise. It was the first time he had heard such a request. ¡°The reason I say this is mainly because if I patrol alone, the workload is too heavy, and over time, there may be oversights.¡± ¡°Since we have started patrolling the underground area, I would prefer to make it more formal and establish a dedicated patrol team!¡± Peter expressed his thoughts. ¡°Well, makes sense!¡± Alfred agreed with his words. Meanwhile, Oddssen was infuriated! As a dark wizard, he was being traded for such a trivial benefit! How pathetic! ¡­ That evening, Peter returned to his residence. He noticed that in the Codex of All Realms, the status of Oddssen¡¯s page had changed to ¡°dead,¡± which meant they had indeed killed Oddssen. However, Peter did not know about how it was done, nor did he care. Next, just like before, the Codex of All Realms granted Peter a chance to draw a reward. Without hesitation, Peter extracted the magic that Oddssen possessed! [Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a fifth-level magic: Wind Blade Spell!] a fifth-level magic, quite powerful! The previously acquired Wings of the Gale was a third-level magic, while this fifth-level magic was even stronger! Moreover, the main point was that it was an attacking magic that allowed Peter to condense wind blades to attack enemies! He secretly went to a secluded place. Aiming at a tree, he cast the Wind Blade Spell! Swoosh! Sharp wind blades spun rapidly, cutting the sturdy tree in half! Peter smiled. The Inspector General wanted to reward him with third-level magic, but he directly extracted a fifth-level magic instead. It was fantastic! However, he was not strong enough. He couldn¡¯t fully unleash the power of the Wind Blade Spell. Otherwise, he could easily turn stones into powder! But no matter what, he now had a method to fight. With the Wind Blade Spell, he no longer needed to fear ordinary enemies! ¡­ Peter¡¯s promotion and the establishment of a patrol team needed to go through approval, which would take at least a day. Therefore, early the next morning, he still needed to patrol as usual. While patrolling, Peter checked on Welch again and found him sitting obediently, just like before. When he passed by Welch¡¯s cell, Welch didn¡¯t even look at him, which puzzled Peter. Welch didn¡¯t try to influence Peter again. Did he simply give up? Well, that was good. It relieved Peter. He no longer needed to be on guard against Welch. Having obtained the Wind Blade Spell and soon to be promoted, Peter straightened his back a little more during patrols. The only downside was that Oddssen had died. This meant that the rate of acquiring magic power slowed down once again. It went back to 80 magic power per hour! But Peter didn¡¯t worry. It was normal for prisoners to come and go, and new ones would surely arrive! Soon, it was time for meal delivery. Normally, this was an ordinary schedule, just like any other time, without anything unusual happening. But today, Peter noticed someone sneaking around behind him. With his increased strength, his senses had become more acute. Peter immediately turned around to look. At the staircase leading to the upper level, there stood a person. The person glanced in Peter¡¯s direction and found out Peter looked back. He immediately trembled, appearing nervous. Peter recognized this person. Just like himself, he was an apprentice wizard named Bruce, who lived in the same room with him. ¡°Bruce, what are you doing here?¡± Peter looked at him in confusion. Bruce¡¯s job was to clean, taking over Peter¡¯s initial duties. He shouldn¡¯t be in this place! ¡°I¡­ I¡­¡± Bruce stammered, struggling to speak coherently. His eyes darted around, and he seemed very guilty. However, he still responded to Peter¡¯s question, ¡°I thought you were taking too long to deliver the food. I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I came down to check. You know, this place is so dangerous, and one can easily encounter accidents¡­¡± As he finished speaking, his voice gradually faded. It seemed even he didn¡¯t believe this excuse! Of course, Peter wouldn¡¯t believe such an excuse either! He found it strange. Because Bruce had never been to the underground area before. This was his first time appearing here. Moreover, Bruce was very timid. Every time he heard Peter and his companions talk about the underground, he would shiver in fear, curling up in his bed with only his eyes visible. Why would he dare to come down today? Soon, Peter realized that Bruce was most likely being influenced by Welch! Because Peter had experienced something similar before! He could feel the persuasive power of Welch¡¯s words! Peter already had a certain foundation in magic, making it difficult for Welch to influence him. However, Bruce was still a novice. So, it was entirely possible! With these thoughts in mind, Peter didn¡¯t say much. After all, it was just his speculation. He couldn¡¯t be sure at the moment. But regardless, he had to stay vigilant and be cautious at all times! Peter believed that things wouldn¡¯t end well for Bruce! ¡­ The next day, the approval for Peter¡¯s promotion and the formation of a patrol team came through. The higher-ups readily approved his request and allowed Peter to form the patrol team, giving him full responsibility for selecting the members. This granted Peter a great deal of freedom! Peter was delighted! He recruited five apprentice wizards whom he usually got along well with and formed the patrol team with them. He was the captain. The five apprentice wizards took turns patrolling the first underground floor, while Peter managed them. All five of them were thrilled! Although the first underground floor seemed eerie and terrifying, they no longer had to do menial tasks, so they readily agreed to join. In front of other apprentice wizards, they seemed much more confident and accomplished! This made Bruce very unhappy. On this day, while no one was around, he went to the first underground floor. He arrived outside a prison cell. ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s just a patrol team. What¡¯s there to be proud of? Their vision is so narrow, just like a group of foolish pigs!¡± Although he said such words, Bruce was still envious deep inside. ¡°You have become my student, and your future achievements will surely surpass theirs by far. There¡¯s no need to be jealous of these people!¡± A voice came from within the cell. At the same time, a face emerged from the darkness, and it was Welch.

Chapter 11 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio On this day, Peter woke up as usual and went down to the first underground floor. However, as he was now the patrol captain, he didn¡¯t need to personally patrol, so there was no need for him to wake up so early. When he arrived at the first underground floor, Rock and Leonard, who were responsible for today¡¯s patrol duty, immediately greeted him. ¡°Good morning, Captain!¡± They were very enthusiastic. Although they had joined the Wizard Tower earlier than Peter, Peter had become the patrol captain while they were still ordinary apprentice wizards. Such a difference naturally made them full of enthusiasm toward Peter. They were afraid of doing something to upset Peter! ¡°Anything unusual last night?¡± Peter nodded and greeted them in return. Although he had become the captain, Peter didn¡¯t feel superior because of it. He was still friendly toward these people because they were friends who lived together, and they were familiar with each other. There was no need to make the relationship so distant. ¡°Nothing to report, Captain!¡± Rock answered very seriously. ¡°Rock, you don¡¯t have to be like this. Although I am the captain, we are still friends.¡± Peter said with a smile. Nothing unusual. That was good! ¡°Peter, come out!¡± At that moment, Colot¡¯s voice came from outside. Peter quickly returned to the upper floor and saw Colot continuing, ¡°Get ready, we have another prisoner to bring in today!¡± ¡°Another prisoner?¡± Peter was somewhat surprised. ¡°Yes!¡± Colot patted his shoulder. ¡°That¡¯s how it is here. People keep coming and going. Previously, there was no one specifically managing this, but now it¡¯s different. Since you have become the patrol captain, you have to take responsibility for this matter!¡± ¡°I understand!¡± Peter nodded repeatedly. He knew very well that it was his duty! Since he took on this job, he had to do it well. Moreover, he could use this opportunity to improve his strength. Peter had no reason to refuse. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go prepare now!¡± Peter went off for preparation. In order to welcome the new prisoner, he had to get all the members of the patrol team on duty, and they all arrived at the entrance. He noticed a golden figure approaching in the distance. The figure looked somewhat familiar. She was the female Templar Knight whom he had met once before. Just like last time, the woman had a very proud demeanor. But this time was different. There was no one from the Wizard Tower coming out to welcome her. Only Peter and the members of the patrol team were in charge of the handover. ¡°Where is your inspector general? Why isn¡¯t he here?¡± The woman glanced at Peter. Her tone carried a sense of superiority, clearly looking down on Peter and his fellow apprentice wizards. ¡°The inspector general is busy. He said that unless it¡¯s an exceptionally important prisoner, I should handle the handover with you, madam,¡± Peter politely replied. ¡°That works too.¡± the woman nodded slightly. She didn¡¯t seem to care who was responsible for the handover. It seemed like a very ordinary and insignificant task to her. She had come here simply to complete the mission. She didn¡¯t care about anything else. ¡°This is the prisoner for this time!¡± As speaking, the woman brought a man over. In fact, Peter had already seen the man earlier. He had been standing behind the woman, shackled with thick iron chains. He looked extremely disheveled! And now, the woman dragged the man in front of Peter, allowing him to take a careful look at the man. He noticed that the man had a tall and robust figure, nearly two meters tall. Muscles bulged all over his body, like a small mountain. He was bald, but he had a very thick beard. The beard was long and reached his chest, making him look like a giant bear. He exuded a strong and imposing aura. ¡°This prisoner is a Templar Knight who defected and joined a cult. He possesses tremendous strength, so you must not let him escape!¡± The woman warned him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, no prisoner locked up here has managed to escape yet!¡± Peter replied directly. Next, the woman gave some instructions and then turned and left. [Prisoner: Chris] [Infamy Level: Four Stars] [Strength: Advanced Knight, Level 5] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture Participation Rate: 1%] [Reward: 15 Magic Power/hour] ¡­ Soon, the magic book emitted a sound indicating successful registration. This person was similar to the initial prisoner, Oddssen, but he was stronger than Oddssen, so in his initial state, he could generate a reward of 15 magic power per hour. Adding that to Peter¡¯s existing 80 points, he could now obtain 95 magic power per hour. It was a very substantial number. Next, Peter took this man named Chris and planned to imprison him on the first underground floor. But just as Peter started to drag him, he realized that Chris was incredibly heavy. No matter how hard he tried, Chris remained immobile. ¡°Hahaha, a scrawny kid like you thinks you can drag me? You better go back and get more training!¡± Chris laughed mockingly. He noticed that Chris not only had a tall stature but was also filled with muscles, weighing at least 125 kilograms. In comparison, Peter was only a little over 1.7 meters tall and seemed like an insignificant small creature. As a wizard, an increase in strength wouldn¡¯t help him gain greater physical abilities. Therefore, it was normal for Peter to be unable to drag him. But that didn¡¯t stop Peter! With a faint smile, he waved his hand, and Chris levitated in the air. ¡°Unfortunately, I don¡¯t need to drag you at all!¡± Peter directly used Levitation Spell to send Chris into the prison cell and locked him up. Next, he curiously examined Chris¡¯s information. He wanted to see what crimes this traitor of the Templar Knights had committed. In Peter¡¯s eyes, the Templar Knights were a noble group, and if someone could join them, it meant they would have supreme glory. Their status was far higher than that of a wizard in the Wizard Tower! They were even more noble than the Inspector General! That was also why the Inspector General showed great respect when he met that woman. Correspondingly, the wizards had an organization called the Sanctum. The wizards inside were all at least Advanced Wizards! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 12 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio So, in Peter¡¯s view, As a Templar Knight who had achieved great success, Chris¡¯s betrayal was simply incomprehensible. Next, Peter came across some shocking information in Chris¡¯s profile. The content he discovered made Peter increasingly angry as he read on! Because he found that this Chris had committed all sorts of heinous crimes. He had committed murder, arson, rape, robbery, and even cannibalism. And he was different from ordinary Dark Wizards! While most Dark Wizards harmed people due to the need for sacrifices to Chaos Gods or practicing black magic, this person simply enjoyed killing and eating people! The records in the Codex of All Realms even depicted several instances of him cooking and consuming infants. These things made Peter feel nauseous and disgusted! Peter couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He fiercely struck Chris a few times. ¡°You psycho!¡± Peter cursed. [Capture participation rate increased!] [Current capture participation rate: 2%!] ¡°Huh?¡± Peter was surprised because he noticed that the capture participation rate had increased! Could it be that he could raise his capture participation rate just by beating up prisoners? Peter suddenly thought about it. He struck a few more times. [Capture participation rate increased!] [Current capture participation rate: 3%!] It worked! This discovery delighted Peter! Meanwhile, Chris, seeing Peter¡¯s actions, didn¡¯t seem to care at all. He let out a few strange laughs and then coldly said to Peter, ¡°Are you hungry? You don¡¯t even have the strength to hurt someone!¡± Chris¡¯s voice was filled with obvious mockery. ¡°Hmph, it won¡¯t be long before you realize how powerful I am!¡± Peter didn¡¯t waste any more words on him. Next, Peter left the first underground floor. He went to the top floor and entered the office of Inspector General Alfred. ¡°Peter, do you need something?¡± The Inspector General asked. ¡°Inspector General, I would like to apply for the authority to interrogate prisoners.¡± ¡°Since I have become a patrol captain, I can¡¯t just do nothing. I can delegate patrol duties to my subordinates and take charge of interrogating prisoners. After all, I have also acquired some basic magic skills!¡± Peter explained his thoughts. ¡°Hmm, that works.¡± Alfred agreed because Advanced Wizards had many tasks to handle, and it would be a waste to assign them to interrogation work. Therefore, he gave the authority to Peter. Peter was very happy to hear this. The first person he wanted to interrogate was the deranged Chris! In the interrogation room, Peter used Wind Blade Spell to attack Chris. The gusts of wind acted like blades, shredding Chris¡¯s skin and creating multiple wounds. [Capture participation rate increased!] [Current capture participation rate: 4%!] Soon, Peter realized that his capture participation rate was steadily increasing. ¡°Hahaha, are you tickling me? How come you have no strength at all!¡± Chris looked at Peter, still showing no signs of pain, and instead made mocking remarks. Why he was like this? Didn¡¯t he feel any pain? Peter found it strange! But he didn¡¯t care about that! Next, Peter used various spells on Chris, severely injuring him. It took him the entire night, but he managed to raise the capture participation rate to 20%! Throughout the process, Chris never uttered a cry of pain and continued to taunt Peter. ¡°I see that you¡¯re weaker than my 80-year-old grandma. Your strength is so feeble, you should go home and find your mommy!¡± Chris¡¯s voice was loud. Peter was panting heavily and looking at him with an angry expression. To be honest, he couldn¡¯t continue to attack anymore. Seeing Chris still looking at him with contempt, Peter had no choice but to lock him up. However, as a result, his own magic power had increased significantly. Now he could gain 200 magic power per hour! Back at his residence, Peter successfully raised his level to Apprentice Wizard, Level 4! [Level: Apprentice Wizard, Level 4 (0/1600)] Although it took 1600 magic power to level up, Peter could gain 200 magic power per hour. This meant he could level up in just 8 hours! Peter was very satisfied with this. He believed that as long as he continued to improve steadily, he would become very powerful one day! ¡­ At night. Peter was resting. But he couldn¡¯t sleep! It was not because his strength had become powerful, but because he had a feeling that something bad would happen soon. After becoming a wizard, his own prophetic ability had also become stronger. Although Peter did not specifically practice prophetic magic, it was the instinct of every wizard. So he got out of bed and went to the first underground floor. The closer Peter got to the area of the first underground floor, the stronger his uneasy feeling became. Just as he arrived at the door, Peter suddenly heard a piercing scream coming from the first underground floor! This scream was coming from inside the first underground floor! After hearing this, Peter was shocked. He knew that his premonition was correct, something had indeed gone wrong in the first underground floor! He didn¡¯t hesitate. He rushed in and found that one of the cell doors was open. ¡°The cell door is open?¡± ¡°Does that mean a prisoner has escaped?¡± Peter thought. And soon, Peter saw a prisoner running out, it was Fein. Fein¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, as if he has gone mad. And in front of him, there were two bodies lying on the ground, it¡¯s Rock and Leonard, the two guards who were on duty tonight. They were dead! Peter trembled in his heart, instinctively thinking of something. And then. Fein saw Peter and roared, charging toward him like a mad beast. This made Peter think that Fein now was like a crazy wild animal! To protect himself, Peter immediately used Wind Blade Spell. Puff! Blood splattered as Fein was thrown back and crashed to the ground. He was dead! Peter had no choice but to kill him! ¡°One down, one less source of magic power for me!¡± ¡°Fortunately, I raised Chris¡¯s capture participation rate to 20%. Otherwise, it would have been a big waste!¡± Just as Peter sighed, realizing that he had lost another source of magic power, he noticed that Fein¡¯s status in the Codex of All Realms changed to ¡°dead¡± and the number of extraction became three. He realized that by killing a prisoner, he could get three extraction opportunities. But now was not the time for extraction because the Advanced Wizards had already rushed over upon hearing the noises!

Chapter 13 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Upon seeing everything in front of them, everyone was surprised, both surprised that Fein managed to escape and surprised that Peter was able to kill Fein. ¡°How could this happen? He was locked, how did he escape from prison!¡± Colot asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know. When I arrived here, he had already escaped from the cell!¡± Peter answered. Next, he explained everything that happened here. After hearing his words, the expressions on everyone¡¯s faces noticeably changed. ¡°This is truly unbelievable!¡± The crowd discussed this matter. At that moment, Inspector General Alfred also appeared. He glanced at the chaotic prison and then at Peter, who was lying on the ground looking scared. Finally, he walked past Peter and entered the first underground floor. Arriving in front of the cell where Fein was originally held, Alfred discovered that the seal on the prison door had been broken. ¡°This means someone helped him escape!¡± Alfred made a judgment. The people present started discussing again. ¡°It seems our security is not tight enough, we need to strengthen it!¡± Colot said to everyone. ¡°Yes, we should always be on guard for more powerful enemies breaking into the prison!¡± Alfred agreed. Because such incidents had happened elsewhere before. They all had a premonition that something big might happen in the future, so each Wizard Tower started strengthening its defenses. Their own tower became slightly lax, resulting in this tragedy. This was truly a tragedy! Alfred looked at Peter again, his eyes showing admiration. ¡°You were an apprentice who had just grasped basic magic, yet you were able to kill an Advanced Wizard. It¡¯s truly a miracle!¡± ¡°It was just luck. I almost died at his hands!¡± Peter finally got up from the ground. He brushed off the dirt and smiled in response. ¡°But there¡¯s nothing strange about it. Fein was in a sealed state, and Peter knows some basic magic, so killing him is normal!¡± An Advanced Wizard beside them analyzed. After hearing this, everyone agreed that this was indeed the case. However, even so, they still felt that Peter was very quick-witted because not all apprentice wizards would have such quick reactions. This meant Peter was someone with great talent! As long as he was willing to work hard, he would definitely achieve great things in the future! Initially, Peter was a little nervous, fearing that the higher-ups would hold him accountable, but he didn¡¯t expect everyone to praise him like this. This completely put his mind at ease. But even so, Peter couldn¡¯t relax too much. He still needed to keep a low profile as much as possible! Unless it¡¯s absolutely necessary, he couldn¡¯t reveal how strong he really was! He could still find other excuses for now. But he wouldn¡¯t have such an opportunity every time! Therefore, Peter secretly made up his mind. Alfred, upon seeing Peter killing a Dark Wizard, once again expressed his admiration. ¡°Peter, since you have made a contribution, we should reward you. So, tell me, what do you want as a reward?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want anything!¡± Peter directly refused. This response surprised everyone. They wondered what was wrong with Peter. Why did he refuse the reward? Peter instinctively wanted to refuse, without even thinking of an excuse, but now that everyone was looking at him, Peter had to think quickly. Soon, he replied, ¡°The reason Fein was able to escape is my negligence. Not being punished is already good enough. I don¡¯t want any rewards!¡± ¡°Well, you¡¯re right.¡± Alfred thought for a moment and considered that Peter was right. The Wizard Tower must have a clear rewards and punishments mechanism. So Peter¡¯s contribution counteracted the fault. ¡°Then have someone take care of the bodies now!¡± Alfred added before leaving. Peter nodded and began to handle the bodies. Fein¡¯s body was taken to the crematorium for cremation. Of course, Rock and Leonard were treated differently. As wizards, Rock and Leonard couldn¡¯t just be cremated hastily. They deserved to have a proper funeral. After discussions among the higher-ups, they decided to hold a funeral for the two the next day morning. Today, the entire Wizard Tower was immersed in a somber mood. Back at his residence, Peter finally had the opportunity to extract magic. He decided not to waste these three extraction opportunities! This allowed Peter to acquire Frost Spell, Demon Fire, and Shield Spell. Among them, Demon Fire was a black magic that could directly burn the soul of the opponent. Peter couldn¡¯t help but feel impressed. As a Dark Wizard, Fein knew quite a few black magic spells, and he had managed to extract one right away. However, he also knew that he couldn¡¯t casually use black magic. It was his trump card, and perhaps it could save his life in extreme situations in the future. But if he used black magic in front of other wizards, he might end up with his own prison cell on the first underground floor! The next morning, Peter woke up early. Today, the entire Wizard Tower was still very depressed. All the members gathered in the cemetery behind the Wizard Tower. Everyone was dressed in dark clothes. It seemed that by doing so, they could better express their grief. Because they had lost two of their comrades, two apprentice wizards. Although these two were of low rank, they were hardworking and got along well with the Wizard Tower. Therefore, Peter and the others were feeling extremely down. ¡°Let us offer our deepest condolences to Rock and Leonard, may they rest in the embrace of the deities!¡± Inspector General Alfred said. He was presiding over the funeral. His voice echoed in the ears of everyone present. At the same time, it triggered many different thoughts in Peter¡¯s mind. This was the first time he had lost friends since coming to this world. No matter how much he heard about various tragedies before, they were just stories he heard or incidents that happened to other people. Peter had never personally experienced such a thing before. Today was the first time. Those two individuals were alive and well one second, and the next second, they were gone. This strengthened Peter¡¯s belief even more. No matter what, he must constantly make himself stronger because only then could he survive in such a terrifying world!

Chapter 14 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After the accident, the Wizard Tower started to prioritize patrol work, and Inspector General Alfred assigned more personnel to Peter. This pleased Peter! He arranged round-the-clock patrols with three people on duty each time, ensuring constant surveillance of the first underground floor. Nothing could escape their watchful eyes! Bruce also wanted to join in. However, Peter rejected his request due to some previous incidents. Peter believed that Bruce had some issues! He suspected that Bruce had been influenced by Welch, so for safety reasons, Peter would never allow Bruce into the first underground floor! On this day, Peter was interrogating a prisoner. Soon, he heard a knock on the door. Opening the door, he saw Leon standing there, one of the members of the patrol team. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Leon?¡± Peter asked. He noticed that Leon seemed to have something on his mind. So, Peter naturally wanted to find out what was going on with him. ¡°Well, it¡¯s like this. My father back home sent me a letter a few days ago, saying that my mother is critically ill and might not make it. Her last wish is to see me one more time. So, I would like to request a few days off. Is that okay?¡± Leon asked nervously. Clearly, he wasn¡¯t very comfortable asking for leave from Peter. Upon hearing his words, Peter calmly replied, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? Of course, it¡¯s no problem!¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s great!¡± Leon suddenly became very excited. ¡°However, you must be careful on your journey. It¡¯s still dangerous outside.¡± Peter emphasized. ¡°Sure, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Leon replied. ¡°No problem. Take your time at home. And I hope your mother recovers quickly!¡± Peter waved his hand. ¡°I will definitely bring your blessings to her!¡± Leon said happily. Soon, he left. With Leon on leave, Peter¡¯s life returned to its usual routine. The following days were normal, and nothing unusual happened. Peter successfully raised his strength to Level 5 of apprentice wizard! [Level: Apprentice Wizard, Level 5 (0/3200)] Although the required magic power had doubled to 3200 from the previous 1600, Peter didn¡¯t mind. Earning 200 magic power per hour meant that he could level up again in just sixteen hours! His leveling speed was not slow, but Peter knew that without new and powerful prisoners coming in, his leveling speed would slow down as the demand for magic power increased. For now, the only thing he could do was to increase his capture participation rate by interrogating prisoners. A month passed, and Peter interrogated prisoners every few days to register new prisoners, increase his capture participation rate, and gain magic power. Eventually, his magic power growth increased to 300 points per hour. And his strength successfully advanced to level 1 of Junior Wizard! ¡°I¡¯ve finally become a Junior Wizard!¡± ¡°And it¡¯s been less than two months since I entered the Wizard Tower. This is amazing!¡± Peter was thrilled. This meant that he had become a true wizard! However, he noticed something equally astonishing. That was because, after becoming a Junior Wizard, the amount of magic power required to level up increased significantly. For example, to advance from Junior Level 1 Wizard to Junior Level 2 Wizard, it required 30,000 magic power! Based on the progress of acquiring 300 magic power per hour, it would take a little over four days to reach Junior Level 2 Wizard. As the levels increased, the required magic power would undoubtedly become even greater. ¡°It¡¯s like playing a game and getting past the beginner stage. Now it feels like the real beginning.¡± Peter thought to himself. He believed that things were supposed to be this way. Even if the leveling speed slowed down a bit, Peter didn¡¯t mind because he had plenty of time! Peter didn¡¯t show his true strength to others. Most people thought of him as just an apprentice wizard. But because Peter worked diligently, the Inspector General valued him greatly. The Inspector General was pleased and promoted Peter to the position of Warden, in charge of managing the underground area. This role didn¡¯t exist in the Wizard Tower before. But due to Peter¡¯s increased strength and his diligent work, the Inspector General specially established this position in the Wizard Tower. This made many people in the Wizard Tower envious. Especially those like him who were lower-ranking wizards, such as Colot. Previously, even though Peter had become a patrol captain, Colot still had an arrogant attitude toward him. It was as if Peter was just his subordinate! But now, things were different! The current Peter could be considered equal to him. Therefore, Colot¡¯s attitude toward Peter underwent a significant change. He believed that Peter was progressing rapidly and had great prospects for the future. He thought it would be wise to curry favor with Peter early on. That way, if Peter truly became a significant figure, he could also benefit from their relationship! Peter, of course, could easily guess Colot¡¯s thoughts. But he didn¡¯t care about any of that. In his view, his only task was to constantly improve his own strength and become stronger. That was all that mattered! If there had to be anything else. Peter felt that it was time for him to gradually venture into the deeper underground. However, he also knew. It wasn¡¯t something he could simply ask the higher-ups for and get approval. After all, the deeper levels had stricter rules, and his current strength alone didn¡¯t qualify him to enter. So, Peter didn¡¯t mention this matter to the higher-ups. On this day, another new prisoner arrived. It was another high-ranking member from the organization where Oddssen was previously associated. It wasn¡¯t until this moment that Peter understood how the Inspector General and the others had killed Oddssen. They used a magical item! Peter didn¡¯t know the name of that magical item, but he knew that it could extract a person¡¯s soul. And it could directly access the memories. They could search for the desired information from the person¡¯s memories! In the end, that person¡¯s soul would be completely destroyed, never to be resurrected! It was through this process that the Inspector General and the others obtained relevant information about the forces behind Oddssen. This person was a member of the Elder Council of that organization. After being captured, he cursed and resisted, expressing confidence that his comrades would come to save him.

Chapter 15 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio [Prisoner: Abel] [Infamy Level: Five Stars] [Strength: Advanced Wizard, Level 6] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture Participation Rate: 1%] [Reward: 20 magic power/hour] ¡­ After being imprisoned, various information about him was revealed. Peter glanced at it, didn¡¯t say much, and threw him directly into the dungeon. Late at night. In the forest not far from the Wizard Tower, several figures gathered surreptitiously. ¡°I never expected that our headquarter would be discovered by those official wizards! Could it be that Oddssen betrayed us?¡± One person expressed dissatisfaction. As soon as he finished speaking, others immediately chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right, it must be the case!¡± ¡°Oddssen couldn¡¯t withstand torture and confessed everything about us!¡± ¡°What a useless piece of trash! If we had known, we should have killed him instead of letting him fall into the hands of the enemy!¡± Various curses and complaints filled the air. Obviously, they were filled with dissatisfaction toward Oddssen. ¡°Perhaps things are not as they seem to be!¡± Just when most people were feeling angry, someone suddenly spoke up, causing many present to find it unreasonable. ¡°Why?¡± They were confused and didn¡¯t understand why this person would say such things. ¡°Because Oddssen died a long time ago, he died at the hands of those people!¡± The person added. ¡°What? Oddssen is dead? When did it happen?¡± Everyone was shocked. Obviously, none of them knew this! ¡°I planted a spy inside the Wizard Tower. He told me many things within the tower.¡± ¡°And they include Oddssen¡¯s death.¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± Other people could only curse in anger. ¡°Hiebert, what should we do next? Does this mean we can¡¯t deal with them anymore?¡± Another person asked indignantly. ¡°Of course not!¡± When the person called Hiebert heard this, he smirked, revealing a very pleased expression. Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Hiebert with curiosity, hoping to get an answer from him. Hiebert smiled mysteriously and continued, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? I arranged a spy inside the Wizard Tower. With his presence, we can do many things that were previously inconvenient!¡± Then he explained his plan to everyone in detail. Initially, people had doubts. But after listening to his detailed plan, everyone felt reassured. ¡°This plan is good. Maybe we can kill the people in the Wizard Tower one by one and rescue the Elder!¡± ¡­ A few days later. Leon, who had taken leave to go home, returned. Peter welcomed him when he saw him. He immediately smiled and said, ¡°Leon, you¡¯re back? How is your mother? Has she recovered?¡± But before he could finish speaking, Peter noticed that Leon seemed completely lost. He was devoid of the spirit a normal person should have. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Could it be¡­¡± Peter seemed to have thought of something. Leon didn¡¯t answer, he just said faintly, ¡°Warden, may I take a rest? I¡¯m exhausted¡­¡± ¡°Alright, you can.¡± Peter didn¡¯t give him a hard time. Instead, he granted him a short break to let him recover a little. After getting Peter¡¯s permission, Leon went back to rest. At this moment, someone ran over. It was a member of the patrol team. He saw Leon¡¯s dispirited appearance and curiously asked Peter, ¡°Warden, what¡¯s wrong with Leon? Why does he look so strange?¡± ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because he just lost his mother, which has caused him to become like this!¡± Peter didn¡¯t seem to care too much. ¡°Is that so?¡± The team member seemed somewhat skeptical after hearing that. But regardless, now these things were not up to him alone to decide. So, he could only leave disappointed. ¡­ That night, Peter was preparing to go to bed. But Leon suddenly came to find him. ¡°Warden, I have something I want to discuss with you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± His words made Peter feel strange. What did Leon want to discuss with him? But anyway, since Leon said so, Peter nodded and said, ¡°What is it? Just tell me.¡± ¡°Not here, please come out with me.¡± Leon shook his head. ¡°Come out? Where?¡± Peter felt very puzzled. Why did he want to go out? Was there something that couldn¡¯t be said here? However, Leon didn¡¯t say much and Peter just followed him out of the room. ¡°What do you want to discuss? Can you speak now?¡± Peter followed Leon to the outside. ¡°Warden, come over here!¡± Leon continued to beckon. Peter noticed that he was gradually leading him to the outskirts, which made Peter realize that something must be wrong. Otherwise, why would he bring him to the wilderness? But Peter didn¡¯t expose him. He wanted to see what Leon wanted to do! Finally, Leon stopped. And Peter followed his gaze and saw five people coming out of the woods. These five people looked fierce and had sharp eyes when they looked at Peter. ¡°Kid, today is your memorial day!¡± ¡°I heard you¡¯re the Warden of this Wizard Tower. Then you¡¯ll die here today!¡± Those people cursed and seemed to see Peter as a corpse right before their eyes. But Peter didn¡¯t show the slightest trace of fear. Instead, he glanced at Leon beside him with a questioning look in his eyes. Leon dared not meet Peter¡¯s gaze. At this moment, he quickly averted his eyes. The people on the other side had no intention of being polite to Peter. They roared and charged toward Peter! And beams of light flashed. The five of them attacked Peter together, unleashing powerful magic!

Chapter 16 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Boom! The light of magic lit up the originally dark wilderness. However, Peter easily dodged it. Because he had the Wings of the Gale! He let himself fly into the air and chanted an incantation. Wind Blade Spell was instantly released. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Wind blades flew toward the opponents. Under Peter¡¯s attack, they seemed unable to escape! But those killers were seasoned in battle and wouldn¡¯t give up so easily. Facing the onslaught of Peter¡¯s Wind Blade Spell, one of them waved his hand, creating a massive earthen wall to block the wind blades. ¡°A mere apprentice wizard can¡¯t harm us!¡± One of them laughed maniacally. However, as soon as his laughter died down, a green flame suddenly appeared! The flame was incredibly dazzling. Especially in the darkness of the night! ¡°This is¡­¡± The smiles on the killers¡¯ faces froze. They had never expected Peter to use such bizarre magic. And the green flame quickly condensed into five twisted and grimacing skulls, charging toward the five killers! Hoo, hoo! The air turned cold at that moment! The eerie green flame didn¡¯t bring heat but instead a chilling coldness to the surroundings. Demon Fire! Peter used his black magic, Demon Fire! The earthen wall created by the killers was no match for this fire. It was instantly shattered by the Demon Fire. And the Demon Fire engulfed the five killers in an instant. ¡°Ah!¡± Agonizing screams filled the air. Those people felt as if they had plunged into icy and bone-chilling seawater, experiencing intense and horrifying torment from their souls to their bodies. Under the Demon Fire, those five individuals seemed ferocious just a second ago quickly turned into five lifeless bodies. Bang! Meanwhile, Peter descended from the air. He looked at Leon across from him with a disdainful expression. Leon, at this moment, had already been thoroughly frightened by Peter! His face turned pale, and with a thump, he fell to the ground, trembling uncontrollably as if he had seen a terrifying demon. ¡°You, you know black magic! You actually know black magic!¡± Leon uttered these words in a trembling voice. He had thought that Peter would be easily killed by those people. He hadn¡¯t expected Peter to possess black magic! And he effortlessly killed those men! This made Leon feel an unprecedented fear! ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Peter glanced casually at Leon. At the same time, a cluster of wind blades gradually gathered in his hand. Peter¡¯s voice turned icy as he said, ¡°I actually treated you quite well, bringing you into the patrol team to give you a better life. But I didn¡¯t expect you to be ungrateful. You conspired with these people to kill me. Today, I can¡¯t let you live anymore!¡± ¡°Peter, Peter, I know I was wrong.¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t my intention. They threatened me with my mother¡¯s life, so I had no choice¡­¡± ¡°Peter, I truly know I was wrong. Please spare me!¡± Leon pleaded in agony. However, Peter didn¡¯t want to give him a chance to survive. The Wind Blade Spell was cast once again, killing Leon on the spot! After dealing with Leon, Peter turned and left without looking back, as if nothing had happened. The next morning, nearby villagers discovered six bodies. They were the five slain killers and Leon who met a tragic end in the wilderness. The villagers were terrified! They quickly reported the incident, and the woman from the Templar Knights who had previously met Peter was once again assigned to investigate the matter. This time, Peter knew her name. Her name was Irina. Irina first interviewed the surrounding villagers, hoping to gather useful information from them. Unfortunately, the villagers knew nothing. They were only passing by the woods in the morning to do their work, and that was when they discovered the lifeless bodies. The witnesses were deeply traumatized and left with deep psychological trauma. Irina, accompanied by some Templar Knights, conducted investigations around this place. Unfortunately, they didn¡¯t find any useful information. However, because they detected traces of black magic on the corpses, they could only make a rough speculation. They believed it was an internal conflict among Dark Wizards! Having no other way, Irina had the bodies taken back for further investigation. Of course, they also visited the Wizard Tower, hoping to find some clues from there. But nothing was found. As they watched Irina and the others leave, Peter finally felt relieved. It meant he was temporarily safe! ¡­ After returning to the Wizard Tower, Peter was surprised to find that he had obtained fifteen chances to extract. It was the reward for killing the five assassins! Fifteen chances! It meant that he could acquire a lot of magic! Peter was ecstatic. Without hesitation, he started extracting! He obtained the Wind Blade Spell, Frost Spell, Fireball Spell, and Earth Wall Spell¡­ Among the fifteen magic spells, most of them were duplicates, but there were also some new ones. At first, Peter felt a bit disappointed when he realized he had obtained duplicates. It seemed like one of his chances had been wasted! However, he soon noticed that it wasn¡¯t the case. The chance was not wasted! Because he discovered that duplicate magic spells could be used to strengthen existing ones! Magic spells had different ranks, ranging from level 1 to level 9. For example, the Wind Blade Spell was a level 5 magic spell. When he obtained duplicates, he could directly upgrade it to a level 6 magic spell! Moreover, Peter also discovered an interesting point. The magic power he accumulated could not only be used to raise his own level but also to upgrade the level of his magic spells. This made Peter extremely happy! He had initially thought that the level of magic spells could not be increased, which was quite frustrating. But now it seemed that it wasn¡¯t the case! The only concern was that with the increased consumption of magic power, his leveling progress might slow down. But it didn¡¯t matter. Peter accepted this fact on second thought. It allowed him to become more powerful! After all, raising the level of magic spells was essentially enhancing his own strength. Regardless, the stronger he became, the better it would be, whether it was his own level or the level of his magic spells!

Chapter 17 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio But no matter what, Leon was dead, and everyone in the Wizard Tower was deeply sad, including Peter, who pretended to be grief-stricken. Although Leon was killed by his own hands, he certainly couldn¡¯t show any uncommon expressions in front of others. That would raise suspicion! Peter needed to appear low-key and inconspicuous at all times! However, it was impossible for Peter to feel no guilt at all. He knew that Leon¡¯s mother had been ill for many years, and she only had this one son. Now that Leon was dead, how could his mother survive? She would undoubtedly be devastated! So, at Leon¡¯s funeral, Peter asked his friends around him, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we find some time to visit Leon¡¯s mother and bring her some money to help her?¡± Leon¡¯s home was located in a village not too far from the Wizard Tower. If they wanted to go there, it would be very convenient. ¡°No, there¡¯s no need!¡± Before Peter finished speaking, Inspector General Alfred spoke up. His words puzzled everyone. They had no idea what the Inspector General meant. ¡°Peter, I know your good intentions because Leon was your subordinate and your friend. It¡¯s normal for you to care about his family.¡± ¡°But Leon¡¯s mother has already passed away!¡± Alfred replied. ¡°Dead?¡± As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. ¡°Yes, she has passed away. She died at the hands of a group of Dark Wizards, who also destroyed their entire village!¡± Alfred¡¯s tone was grim as he answered. The Templar Knights had been investigating the case of the six bodies, and they had found Leon¡¯s village. That¡¯s how they learned about the death of Leon¡¯s mother. And then, this news reached the Wizard Tower. ¡°It¡¯s the Dark Wizards again!¡± Peter feigned surprise. Soon, he became very angry. ¡°These evil Dark Wizards deserve to be killed ten thousand times!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Others chimed in, echoing his anger. Watching their enraged expressions, Inspector General Alfred nodded in satisfaction. ¡°If you really want to avenge him, then you must study magic diligently. When you truly become powerful, no Dark Wizard will be your match!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± All the wizards nodded in agreement. Next, they buried Leon. Soon, Leon¡¯s funeral ended, and everyone returned to their own lives. Peter was no exception! As the captain of the patrol team, he didn¡¯t need to personally go down to the first underground floor for patrolling. But to demonstrate that he was a responsible person, he still made occasional visits to the first underground floor. Apart from that, he heard some information about the case. The Templar Knights searched for clues everywhere, but unfortunately, they had no leads whatsoever. This troubled Irina! Peter observed all of this and secretly chuckled. You all had gone in the wrong direction in your investigation. How could you possibly find any clues? He felt that the danger he faced had gradually disappeared, and he no longer had to worry about being suspected! Of course. People wouldn¡¯t suspect him! Because in the eyes of others, Peter was nothing more than an ordinary apprentice wizard! On this day, Peter personally went to patrol the first underground floor. With his hands behind his back, he walked past each cell, scanning the prisoners with his gaze. Soon, Abel suddenly stopped Peter. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Peter looked at the prisoner. A light flashed through his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. ¡°Where did Leon go? I haven¡¯t seen him for several days!¡± Abel pondered for a while and asked Peter. ¡°Why do you ask about Leon? You are just a prisoner here, and he is a patrol officer!¡± Peter countered. ¡°Oh, nothing¡­¡± Abel immediately felt that his question seemed strange, so he shook his head repeatedly. Soon, it seemed like he thought of something, and a smile quickly appeared on his face as he said to Peter, ¡°Well¡­ I got along quite well with him and thought he was a decent guy. I just wanted to ask you about his recent situation.¡± ¡°This man is lying!¡± That thought immediately crossed Peter¡¯s mind. Therefore, he didn¡¯t answer. He just smiled at Abel and then turned away from there. Abel felt puzzled. His companion should have come to rescue him, but why was no one here? In fact, Leon was the one responsible for the coordination! Why did Leon disappear for such a long time? Suddenly, he felt that the others must be planning to rescue him on the execution ground! Leon must have left here to deliver the message to his companions and was afraid of being discovered by the people from the Wizard Tower, so he escaped! Now, the people from the Wizard Tower were not answering his questions because they couldn¡¯t find any trace of Leon either! Hahaha, it must be like this! Thinking of this, a sense of triumph quickly flashed in Abel¡¯s mind. He believed that he would be saved! A bright future was waiting for him! The more he thought about it, the more eagerly Abel felt. After all, he was an Elder in the evil organization. After his remaining value was squeezed out, he would be publicly sentenced to hanging on the execution ground to keep the public away from black magic. But now? His companions would come to save him on the execution ground. This, of course, filled Abel with joy. He felt that it would be a shocking moment for the people of the Wizard Tower! Thinking of this, he burst into laughter. Peter had already walked far away, but suddenly he heard a burst of laughter behind him and stopped to look back. He happened to see Abel laughing loudly over there. Looking at him, Peter couldn¡¯t help but feel pity for this man. Perhaps this person would remain immersed in delusional fantasies until his death. Peter didn¡¯t bother to tell him the truth, allowing him to have a glimmer of hope until his death could be considered the last consolation. Because Peter knew. It wouldn¡¯t be long before this guy faced the day of execution. By then, the terrifying truth would completely shatter his will! No matter how happy Abel was now, he would cry miserably then!

Chapter 18 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Early the next morning, Peter arrived at the first underground floor. He arrived at the prison where Abel was held. Upon seeing his arrival, Abel showed no signs of fear and instead smiled, saying, ¡°So, are you here to execute me?¡± ¡°Yes, you will be sentenced to hanging!¡± Peter replied directly. He didn¡¯t bother hiding anything. He just wanted to see how this guy would react! And it was almost as Peter had expected. Abel, who was imprisoned, showed no nervousness or fear. ¡°Great, let¡¯s get on with it then!¡± Abel appeared eager. ¡°Why are you so happy when you¡¯re about to die?¡± Peter curiously asked on purpose. ¡°Don¡¯t you know? I believe in the God of Eternal Life, Blofield. In our view, death is not the end of life. We will eventually return to the embrace of Blofield and start a new life!¡± Abel replied. Peter had heard of the God of Eternal Life, Blofield, during his time studying related books in the library. Although the name may sound normal, in fact, Blofield is a Chaos God! Peter didn¡¯t know if Chaos Gods truly existed in the world, but this God of Eternal Life did have many followers. Clearly, the current Abel was one of his followers. Peter had no interest in listening to this person talk about his beliefs. After opening the prison door, Peter directly pulled Abel out and said, ¡°Well, then please return to the embrace of your god!¡± After that, he walked outward, dragging Abel along. Executing someone in the Wizard Tower required high security measures. At this moment, several other wizards, Templar Knights, and others were already waiting outside. When they saw Peter bringing Abel out, they immediately formed a formation to protect Peter and Abel. With them, they boarded a carriage. The carriage shook as they headed towards the execution ground. Abel showed no signs of fear on his face. He had a proud expression in his eyes, observing the people around him. ¡°Look at you fools! Believing in some ridiculous God of Light! I will soon obtain eternal life in the embrace of Blofield!¡± Peter listened to his words and looked at Abel, as if he was looking at a fool. ¡°What are you looking at? Whether you believe it or not, my companions will come to rescue me soon. They will get me out of here and take me away from this damn place!¡± Abel was quite pleased with himself. ¡°Under our tight security, no one will be able to rescue you, not even members of your organization!¡± Perhaps feeling annoyed by him, one of the Templar Knights replied impatiently. ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see!¡± Abel showed no fear. Soon, they arrived at the execution ground. There were many people gathered here, chatting and laughing, pointing at Abel as he was escorted in. ¡°A bunch of foolish commoners!¡± Passing by these people, Abel¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. Peter found it amusing! He was about to become a dead man, yet he had the audacity to mock others here? However, Peter couldn¡¯t be bothered to say anything to him. According to the rules, he escorted Abel to the central platform in the execution ground. The gallows for hanging were already prepared! But because Abel himself was a Dark Wizard, the gallows used to deal with them were unusual. The ropes were infused with magic! They could ensure that Abel would be killed and his soul would be obliterated at the same time! ¡°You fools, next, you will witness the moment when I obtain eternal life in the embrace of the God of Eternal Life!¡± Abel showed no signs of the despair that a condemned criminal should have. At this moment, he even shouted loudly. Next, the executioners placed the noose around his neck and removed the wooden board beneath his feet. Suddenly, Abel found himself hanging in the air. He felt a sensation of suffocation rush over him! ¡°It¡¯s alright!¡± ¡°My companions will come to rescue me soon!¡± Abel thought in his heart. But¡­ The imagined scene he had didn¡¯t occur. Instead, the feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger. ¡°Why¡­¡± ¡°Why is it like this?¡± ¡°Why haven¡¯t my companions come to save me?¡± A sense of foreboding suddenly emerged in his heart. ¡°Could it be that they won¡¯t come to rescue me?¡± Suddenly, this thought filled his mind! ¡°It¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡°They will definitely come to save me!¡± ¡°Leon has already passed on the message!¡± ¡°My companions will definitely come to rescue me!¡± Countless thoughts surged through his mind. However, despite comforting himself in his heart, Abel¡¯s mood became increasingly desperate! Because the suffocating feeling was becoming stronger and stronger! After a while, Abel began to struggle. The intense feeling of suffocation forced him to struggle desperately, as if it would make him feel better. Unfortunately, the more he struggled, the stronger the suffocating feeling became. In the end, Abel died! His eyes were wide open, filled with unwillingness. And it looked like he still held some expectations. He hoped that someone would come to rescue him. But¡­ That was just his illusion. He didn¡¯t even know until death why his comrades didn¡¯t come to save him. Looking at the lifeless body dangling in the air, Peter felt that Abel was truly a very pitiful person! ¡­ Back at the Wizard Tower. Peter rested for a while. In the afternoon, he received a message from Alfred, asking to see him. ¡°Peter, after discussion, the higher-ups believe that we should not only patrol the first floor, but also the second underground floor!¡± The words of the Inspector General made Peter furrow his brows slightly. ¡°The second underground floor?¡± Peter asked in confusion. Because he suddenly realized that since joining the patrol team, he had never been to the second underground floor before. He had no idea what was down there. But looking at the serious expression on the Inspector General¡¯s face, Peter could guess that whatever was imprisoned down there must be powerful! That¡¯s why it needed to be taken seriously! ¡°But our strength may not be strong enough to patrol down there, right?¡± Peter asked again. ¡°It¡¯s okay, we¡¯ll start with the second underground floor and gradually expand to the entire underground area!¡± Alfred explained. At the same time, the Inspector General asked Peter to arrange manpower, but the team heard that the second floor was ten times worse than the first floor, so no one dared to go down. Seeing no one stepping in, Peter spoke up, ¡°I¡¯m willing to go down!¡± If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 19 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio At this moment, not only Inspector General Alfred, but everyone else present also looked at Peter. Their eyes were filled with shock. ¡°Captain, are you crazy?¡± ¡°The second floor is many times more dangerous than the first floor. If you go down and encounter danger, what will you do?¡± The team members around him were very nervous, afraid that Peter would meet accidents if he went down. After all, they were able to live a relatively good life now, mostly thanks to Peter, who led them to their current positions! If Peter died, they would certainly be very sad. ¡°Hey, there¡¯s no need to be so nervous. I¡¯ll be fine. After all, those prisoners are sealed. Is it possible for them to escape from their sealed state? That¡¯s impossible!¡± Peter appeared very relaxed. Because he felt that these prisoners on the first floor couldn¡¯t satisfy him anymore. For his current situation, he needed to go deeper! And even if he didn¡¯t do it right now, he would definitely have to do it in the future. With such a good opportunity, Peter certainly didn¡¯t want to give up! Upon hearing Peter¡¯s words, the team members wanted to persuade him, but Peter remained firm. Even the Inspector General on the side couldn¡¯t help but admire him, thinking that Peter was truly dedicated and responsible. Despite not having strong strength, he didn¡¯t back down because of it. This was truly a rare and outstanding quality! Because the fear of the unknown was a human instinct. And most people simply could not overcome such fear, which became a fatal drawback for them. Peter, on the other hand, could avoid such a flaw, took on his responsibilities, and willingly entered the second underground floor. There was no doubt about it. Peter was extremely impressive! Alfred believed that Peter did have fear in his heart, but he could overcome it. This was indeed very rare. ¡°If even Peter is willing to go down, do the rest of you have anything to fear?¡± The Inspector General looked at the people around him and said in a serious tone. Upon hearing the Inspector General¡¯s words, the people present couldn¡¯t help but exchange looks. They realized that they seemed to have gone too far! Just like Peter said. Those guys were already sealed. What else was there to fear? After understanding this, the fear in their hearts finally weakened slightly. ¡°We have a total of 50 people in our Wizard Tower, including 5 Advanced Wizards, 9 Intermediate Wizards, 18 Junior Wizards, and 20 apprentice wizards. Among the apprentice wizards, including Peter, there are 6 who can use magic¡­¡± Inspector General Alfred didn¡¯t care about what others thought. At this moment, he continued speaking, ¡°I hereby announce that the remaining 5 people will patrol the second underground floor along with Peter!¡± ¡°Understood!¡± The people present nodded in agreement. Although there might be some unwilling emotions in their hearts, this was an order from the Inspector General. As apprentice wizards at the bottom level, they couldn¡¯t refuse. At this moment, the people were chosen. Led by Peter, they walked step by step toward the underground area. When the group passed the first underground floor and stepped onto the stairs leading to the second underground floor, they immediately felt the atmosphere in front of them become extremely gloomy and terrifying. Although the air of the first underground floor was already chilling enough. But compared to the first floor, the cold emanating from the second floor was noticeably much stronger! That was right! It was many times stronger! Even though they hadn¡¯t reached the second underground floor yet. Even though they were only walking on the stairs leading to the second underground floor. However, that eerie and terrifying atmosphere still penetrated into the marrow of each and every one of them! That bone-chilling coldness made everyone huddle up. Some even tightened their clothes. Even though it was all in vain! Finally, the group arrived at the entrance of the second underground floor. It was a massive iron door. The door was covered with various runes, giving off a sense of endless mystery. ¡°So, this is the second underground floor? Who knows how long it¡¯s been since anyone came here!¡± One of them complained. Peter remained silent. As the one standing at the front of the team, he extended his hand and gently pressed it against the door. Boom¡­ With a series of rumbling sounds, the tightly closed door slowly opened under Peter¡¯s control. At the same time, an even more bone-piercing coldness rushed toward them! Everyone took a sharp breath. They quickly became more vigilant, as if some terrifying monster would suddenly emerge from inside! But in fact, their worries were unnecessary. There were no so-called monsters in this vast underground space. However, everyone could still see pairs of icy-cold eyes gleaming in the darkness.

Chapter 20 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio They were the prisoners here! ¡°Hey, let¡¯s see who¡¯s here!¡± ¡°Why are there suddenly so many people? Are you all here for a tour?¡± ¡°It seems like those bastards upstairs have finally remembered us and intend to provide us with guards too?¡± As the door opened, voices came from inside. Some expressed surprise, but most of them were filled with vulgar insults. This made everyone present feel like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, as if stepping inside would result in being devoured by the people inside! So for a while, they didn¡¯t dare to step foot inside. But Peter showed no signs of fear. He snorted and took the initiative to walk inside. As he walked, he pulled out a spherical object. As he took steps deeper inside, the sphere emitted radiant light imbued with a sacred aura! ¡°Ah! What is that thing? Get it away!¡± ¡°I hate the aura of Holy Light. It makes me feel like my skin is being scorched by flames! Help!¡± The prisoners, who had seemed crazy just a moment ago, now became extremely distressed. They instinctively feared this Holy Light and some even huddled directly into corners! The object Peter held in his hand was a magical item called the Holy Light Ball, specially prepared for him by the Inspector General. If the prisoners on the second underground floor didn¡¯t obey, he could use the Holy Light from the Holy Light Ball to shine upon them! Peter tried it out and found it to be really effective. The Holy Light Ball contained the purest strength of Holy Light, making it highly effective against these Dark Wizards who practiced black magic! Therefore, the prisoners were so frightened that they curled up and did not even dare to breathe loudly. Seeing this, Peter was very satisfied. He placed the Holy Light Ball directly in the center of the second underground floor and said to his companions behind him, ¡°Remember, if these guys misbehave, pour your magic power into the ball, and they will be afraid!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± His subordinates, seeing this, all responded affirmatively. After witnessing the effects of the Holy Light Ball, everyone gradually relaxed. Initially, they were worried about being frightened by the prisoners on the second underground floor. After all, this place was definitely more terrifying than the first floor. But since they now had something to restrain them, there was nothing to fear! With this in mind, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, the radiance on the Holy Light Ball gradually dimmed and returned to a normal state. The prisoners, who had previously been in extreme agony, also gradually calmed down. However, they dared not mock the people outside anymore. They were afraid of being burnt by the Holy Light Ball! At this moment, each of them could only peer nervously at the people outside through the cell door. ¡°Listen up, starting today, the six of us will be responsible for patrolling the second underground floor. You must obey us, or the Holy Light Ball will bring you the most intense pain!¡± Peter¡¯s voice echoed throughout the second underground floor. His previous actions were meant to intimidate these people, letting them know that they weren¡¯t to be messed with! In the following days, Peter organized the personnel roster for patrolling the second underground floor. From then on, Peter and his companions entered a new phase of life. Every day, they patrolled the second underground floor. Over time, they realized that there was no fundamental difference between this floor and the first underground floor. Although the prisoners on the second underground floor were more powerful, they had nothing to fear because of the presence of the Holy Light Ball. As for Peter, he didn¡¯t need to come here often. He was currently the patrol captain. However, he still had a job to do. That was interrogating prisoners! Just like on the first underground floor! On this day, Peter followed the instructions from above and interrogated a prisoner. He was a burly man with muscles that seemed as hard as steel. ¡°Hmph, kid, with your tender skin, you can¡¯t even cause me the slightest bit of harm!¡± As Peter dragged the prisoner along, the man mocked him. [Prisoner: Lunde] [Infamy Level: Six Stars] [Strength: Advanced Level 8 Wizard] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture participation rate: 1%] [Reward: 60 magic power/hour] ¡­ Soon, all kinds of information about this prisoner appeared in Peter¡¯s mind. As expected of the second underground floor! Just interrogating a random prisoner could bring in so much magic power! Peter exclaimed in surprise. However, despite his astonishment, he showed nothing on his face. As he looked at the man, he coldly responded with a sneer, ¡°Is that so? But let me tell you, this matter is far from over. It¡¯s too early to draw conclusions!¡± While speaking, Peter dragged Lunde into the interrogation room. Shortly after, piercing screams of agony echoed from the interrogation room. The sound reverberated throughout the underground chamber, terrifying all the prisoners on the second underground floor! They never expected that this seemingly ordinary patrol captain possessed such a terrifying side. Soon, when they saw Lunde again, they realized his figure had been tortured greatly and they could not even recognize him. Thud! Peter tossed Lunde into his cell as if discarding a dead dog. At the same time, he cast a chilling glance around the room. This time, even without using the Holy Light Ball, the prisoners confined on the second underground floor could feel the horrifying aura emanating from Peter. They felt that he was not human at all! He was a complete and utter devil! A devil far more terrifying than themselves! Sensing this, all the prisoners trembled and realized that their speculations were not unfounded! ¡­ It had to be said. Peter was right to do this. As a patrol captain, he had to be more terrifying than the prisoners here in order to intimidate them! Otherwise, those people would not listen to him at all. With Lunde as a reference, the prisoners on the second floor became much more obedient and no longer acted arrogantly in front of Peter. As a result, Peter¡¯s life became much easier. He successfully registered two more prisoners, further increasing the amount of magic power he obtained per hour! It seemed that his decision to enter the second underground floor was completely correct! Without the rewards brought by the second underground floor, his leveling speed would have been much slower! After all, he now had to focus not only on leveling up but also on improving his magic. He was in no rush to raise his level but instead focused on advancing his magic during these days. ¡­ Soon, it was time for the annual assessment. On this day, the Inspector General once again summoned Peter. ¡°Since the higher-ups have decided to establish the position of Warden, the assessment of Warden will be an essential component. I will assess you, so I hope you are prepared!¡± Alfred looked at Peter and said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Inspector General. I have made preparations for this!¡± Peter raised his head and said firmly. ¡°Good. Then come with me.¡± As he spoke, Inspector General Alfred stood up and led Peter toward the underground area. However, they didn¡¯t stop at the second underground floor but continued to descend. The surroundings became even darker! Peter was shocked. He hadn¡¯t expected that the Inspector General would bring him to the third floor. After all, among the prisoners confined on the third floor, many of them were no longer human!

Chapter 21 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Peter held something in his hand, a magical item called the Holy Light Ball. It was specially prepared for him by the Inspector General. If the prisoners on the second underground floor were disobedient, he could use the Holy Light of the Holy Light Ball to shine on them! Peter decided to give it a try and found that it was indeed very effective. This Holy Light Ball contained the purest Holy Light power. It had a miraculous effect on these Dark Wizards who cultivated black magic! Therefore, the prisoners were so frightened that they curled up into a ball and did not even dare to breathe loudly. Seeing their reactions, Peter was extremely satisfied. He placed the Holy Light Ball in the middle of the second underground floor and said to his companions behind him, ¡°Remember, if these guys show any misbehavior, infuse your magic power into the Holy Light Ball, and they will be afraid!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± When his subordinates saw this, they all agreed with certainty. As they witnessed the effect of the Holy Light Ball, everyone gradually relaxed. Initially, they were worried that they would be frightened by the prisoners on the second underground floor. After all, this place was undoubtedly more terrifying than the first floor. However, since they had something that could restrain them, there was nothing to be afraid of! At the thought of this, everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Soon, the light on the Holy Light Ball gradually faded and returned to normal. The prisoners who were in extreme pain earlier gradually calmed down, but they no longer dared to mock the group. Because they were afraid of being provoked by the Holy Light Ball! At this moment, they only dared to look outside through the cell door, looking at the people outside with nervous expressions. ¡°Listen up. From today onwards, the six of us will be responsible for patrolling the second underground floor. You must obey our orders, or else, the Holy Light Ball will bring you the greatest pain!¡± Peter¡¯s voice echoed throughout the entire second underground floor. What he did just now was to intimidate these people and tell them that they were not to be trifled with! In the next few days, Peter arranged the list of people on duty on the second underground floor. From then on, Peter and his team entered a new phase of life. They patrolled the second underground floor every day. After a long time, they realized that there was no fundamental difference between this floor and the first underground floor. Although the prisoners on the second underground floor were more powerful, there was nothing to be afraid of because of the existence of the Holy Light Ball. As for Peter, he didn¡¯t need to come here often. Because he was currently the patrol captain. However, he still had a job to do. That was to interrogate the prisoners! It was the same as when he was on the first underground floor! On this day, Peter received instructions from the higher-ups and interrogated a prisoner. It was a very burly man. His muscles were as hard as steel. ¡°Hmph, kid, with your tender skin and flesh, you couldn¡¯t even inflict the slightest bit of harm on me!¡± The prisoner sneered as he was dragged by Peter. [Prisoner: Lunde] [Infamy Level: Six Stars] [Power: Advanced Level 8 Wizard] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture participation rate: 1%] [Revenue: 60 magic points/hour] ¡­ Soon, all kinds of information about this prisoner appeared in Peter¡¯s mind. As expected of the second underground floor! Just by casually interrogating a prisoner, he could gain so much magic power! Peter secretly exclaimed in his heart. However, despite his astonishment, he showed no signs of fear on his face. As Peter looked at Lunde, he only sneered and replied, ¡°Is that so? But what I want to say is that this matter is not over yet. We can¡¯t conclude so quickly!¡± As Peter spoke, he dragged Lunde into the interrogation room. Immediately after, a shrill scream came from the interrogation room. The sound reverberated throughout the entire underground chamber, causing the entire second underground floor to feel a chill run down their spines! They would never have thought that this seemingly ordinary patrol captain would have such a terrifying side. Soon, when they saw Lunde again, they found that Lunde had been tortured beyond recognition. Bang! Peter threw Lunde into the cell that originally belonged to him like he was throwing away a dead dog. At the same time, he cast a chilling gaze around the area. This time. Even without using the Holy Light Ball, the prisoners confined on the second underground floor could feel the terrifying aura emanating from Peter. They couldn¡¯t help but think that he wasn¡¯t human at all! He was a complete and utter demon! A demon that was even more terrifying than themselves, the prisoners! Having sensed this, all the prisoners shivered. They felt that their speculations were not unfounded! ¡­ It had to be said. Peter¡¯s approach was indeed correct. As a patrol captain, he had to be more terrifying than the prisoners here to intimidate them! Otherwise, those people would not listen to him at all. With Lunde as a reference, the prisoners on the second underground floor became much more stable. They no longer acted arrogant in front of Peter. As a result, this also made Peter¡¯s life much simpler and easier. He successfully registered two more prisoners, which increased his magic power every hour! It seemed that his decision to enter the second underground floor was completely correct! Without the earnings brought by the second underground floor, his leveling speed would be much slower! After all, what he had to face now was not only the improvement of his level but also the advancement of his magic. He was not in a hurry to level up but instead focused on enhancing his magic. During these days, Peter raised his magic by one level through his efforts. ¡­ Soon, the annual assessment arrived. On this day, the Inspector General once again summoned Peter. ¡°Since the higher-ups have decided to appoint a Warden, then the assessment of the Warden will be an essential component. Next, I¡¯ll be testing you. I hope you¡¯ll be prepared!¡± Alfred, the Inspector General, looked at Peter and said. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Inspector General. I¡¯ve already made sufficient preparations for this!¡± Peter raised his head and said firmly. ¡°Mm, very good. Then come with me.¡± As he spoke, Inspector General Alfred stood up and led Peter to the underground area. However, they did not stop at the second underground floor. Instead, they continued to walk down. The surroundings became even darker! Peter was shocked. He hadn¡¯t expected the Inspector General to bring him to the third underground floor. One had to know that many of the prisoners confined on the third underground floor were not human!

Chapter 22 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio For example, some werewolves, vampires, and other monsters. What was the Inspector General¡¯s purpose for bringing him here? This made Peter feel very strange! Next, Inspector General Alfred brought Peter to the front of one of the cells. Peter glanced inside. He noticed that this cell housed a creature covered in fur from head to toe. It looked like a wolf! It was a ferocious werewolf that could walk upright! ¡°This werewolf once massacred a village with over 600 people, so it belongs to the most heinous criminals. And your assessment this year is to use your own strength to kill it!¡± Alfred said as he looked at Peter. Perhaps to reassure Peter, Alfred added, ¡°But don¡¯t worry. You can actually refuse if you¡¯re afraid of danger.¡± Now, Peter publicly declared himself as a Junior Level 1 Wizard, tasked with killing a werewolf. Undoubtedly, this was a very difficult challenge for a Junior Level 1 Wizard. However, Peter knew that he had no right to refuse in this matter. Because if he refused, it would mean that he would not be able to pass today¡¯s assessment. If he failed the assessment, it meant that he wouldn¡¯t be able to become a Warden. If he couldn¡¯t become a Warden, he wouldn¡¯t be able to get in touch with more prisoners here! By then, he would not be able to level up! With these thoughts in mind, Peter pondered for a while and then replied, ¡°Inspector General, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t refuse!¡± Peter looked at Alfred with great determination. He also knew that the Inspector General valued him very much. If he really announced his non-participation, Alfred might be disappointed. But now, by facing the challenge head-on, it made Alfred very happy! Therefore, Alfred nodded and looked at Peter with satisfaction. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for your good news!¡± ¡­ Peter and the werewolf were brought to an open area. This was the battlefield for their upcoming fight. At the edge of the field stood Alfred and a few Advanced Wizards. They were responsible for maintaining order. If Peter showed signs of being unable to defeat the werewolf, they would immediately intervene and help Peter eliminate the werewolf and not put Peter¡¯s life in danger. However, in that case, it would mean that Peter had failed the assessment. He would lose his position as the Warden! At this moment, apart from them, there were also some Junior Wizards and Apprentice Wizards. They all wanted to see how strong Peter¡¯s abilities were. He stood in the middle of the battlefield and looked around. Peter thought to himself. If he fought with the werewolf in front of these people, it would mean that he would lose many of his truly powerful skills! For example, he would not be able to use black magic. And now, he could only rely on some basic magic, nothing more! Fortunately, his actual strength was much stronger than what he had shown. This gave him some confidence! Even if it was basic magic, Peter would still have the ability to fight! ¡°Roar!¡± Then, a furious roar was heard. The werewolf roared and broke free from its restraints. It charged fiercely toward Peter! Its speed was extremely fast. It could be said that it was like a dark brown bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, it had already closed in on Peter! ¡°Oh my god, Peter is going to face a werewolf, a real werewolf!¡± ¡°I wonder if Peter or this werewolf is more powerful?¡± The onlookers around them voiced their confusion. They had no idea how this battle would end. Right now, curiosity filled the air. ¡°Roar!¡± With a furious roar, the werewolf went crazy and charged toward Peter. In an instant, the surrounding air was filled with the smell of blood! Peter was clearly aware of the imminent danger! But he was not nervous. With a wave of his hand, he chanted an incantation and cast the Fireball Spell. A fireball flew toward the werewolf! Boom! The attack landed squarely on the werewolf¡¯s body! Instantly, the werewolf¡¯s body was engulfed in raging flames, so much so that its fur was also ignited! Even so, the werewolf¡¯s charging speed showed no signs of slowing down. Instead, it seemed even more frenzied. Especially that pair of sharp claws, which were glinting with a cold light! As if it was determined to tear Peter into pieces! ¡°Wind Blade Spell!¡± Peter originally wanted to use the Wings of the Gale to escape the werewolf¡¯s attack range, but he suddenly remembered he shouldn¡¯t know this skill in the first place. Therefore, he could only dodge to the side and avoid the werewolf¡¯s attack. At the same time, a Wind Blade Spell was unleashed! Chi! His Wind Blade Spell was incredibly powerful, directly severing one of the werewolf¡¯s legs! Blood sprayed out, and the werewolf staggered. It lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground! Of course, Peter would not let go of this opportunity! He swiftly leaped forward and immediately jumped in front of the werewolf. At the same time, he cast another Fireball Spell! Boom! The Fireball Spell struck the werewolf¡¯s head directly. Only a piercing and miserable howl was heard as the werewolf¡¯s body was immediately engulfed in thick smoke. In a short while, the werewolf had already become a corpse! The entire process was done in one go, to the point that many of the onlookers didn¡¯t even get a close look. When they came back to their senses, they found that the werewolf had died in front of them. ¡°This, is this the end of the game?¡± Everyone was shocked. They could not believe what they were seeing. A perfectly intact werewolf, a chilling sight to behold, had been killed so quickly by Peter! It had to be acknowledged. Peter¡¯s strength was truly formidable! ¡°Well done. Despite being only a Junior Level 1 Wizard, you have displayed outstanding mastery of magic by successfully killing the werewolf, a Junior Level 6 Wizard. It is truly remarkable!¡± At this moment, Alfred stood up and said. For the Junior Wizards and Apprentice Wizards present, it was astounding that Peter, who had only been in the Wizard Tower for three months, had the strength of a Junior Level 1 Wizard! This was undoubtedly enviable! At the same time, Peter realized that after killing the werewolf, he could also extract three things for himself. However, because the werewolf did not possess magic, he extracted the characteristics of the werewolf: Agility +5, Strength +5, Perception+5. Peter discovered that his werewolf hearing allowed him to monitor the entire underground area. That night, he couldn¡¯t wait to test it. The first and second levels were manageable, but he could explore the third level more carefully. When he reached the fourth level, Peter sensed a terrifying aura, which made him immediately retract his consciousness and not dare to continue exploring.

Chapter 23 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio In the next few days, Peter did not show any abnormalities. He only silently patrolled the second underground floor as instructed by the higher-ups. Because of the Holy Light Ball, the prisoners on the second underground floor didn¡¯t harbor much hostility towards Peter and his team. If they wanted to appear hostile, they had to consider whether they could withstand the illumination of the Holy Light Ball! Therefore, most of the people on the second underground floor appeared very humble in front of Peter and his team. As for Peter himself, he had also registered a few prisoners to increase the amount of magic power he could obtain! On this day, Peter was patrolling the second underground floor. Suddenly, he heard a dull thud. Bang! Peter immediately looked in the direction of the sound and found that a person quickly fell to the ground. A prisoner had fainted! Peter approached the prisoner¡¯s cell door and found that the prisoner had indeed fainted! He frowned slightly. At this moment, he heard someone say, ¡°This person has been fainting lately. I suspect he won¡¯t last much longer.¡± The one who spoke at this time was one of Peter¡¯s subordinates. ¡°Is that so?¡± Upon hearing this, Peter also looked at him in confusion. ¡°That¡¯s right, Warden. I think it¡¯s time we consider whether we should get rid of him!¡± The subordinate replied. Although he said so, to be honest, Peter felt that something was off with this matter. Who were the people locked up on the second underground floor? Those were all fellows who were much stronger than those on the first underground floor! How could such a group of people simply die like that? Therefore, Peter believed that there were still some unknown secrets behind this matter. He felt that necessary for him to keep a close eye on this person. Let¡¯s see what ulterior motives this Wilson has! ¡°Alright, I understand. I will keep an eye on this person, you go do your own thing!¡± Peter glanced at his subordinate. ¡°Yes!¡± The subordinate immediately retreated. At the same time, Peter glanced at Wilson, who was lying on the ground. He realized that Wilson appeared extremely weak as if he could take his last breath at any moment. Peter didn¡¯t pay any further attention to him. Instead, he got up and left the area. This matter was like a small interlude, and it passed very normally. ¡­ But in fact, that night. Peter began to use his keen intuition to monitor Wilson closely. He chose not to surveil during the daytime, wanting to see if Wilson will drop his facade in the quiet of the night. And from what it seemed, the situation seemed to be as Peter had expected. When night fell. Wilson finally revealed the surface illusion completely. Peter found that he did not appear as severely injured as he did during the daytime, as if on the verge of death. He quickly got up from the ground. Alive and energetic, as if nothing had happened at all! ¡°As expected!¡± Peter laughed. Since this guy doesn¡¯t seem to be in any major danger, it meant that there must be another reason why he pretended to be seriously injured. Peter planned to expose this guy¡¯s true intentions! But he couldn¡¯t say it openly in front of others! Because in the eyes of ordinary people, the prisoner was just a person who had been seriously injured and on the brink of death. And how did he notice his abnormality? This was a very serious problem in itself! Therefore, Peter could not explain it clearly! He decided to secretly observe Wilson and pay attention to what he was up to. Soon, the new year arrived. The new year in this world was the day of the birth of the deities, and it was also one of the most important festivals in the kingdom. As the new year approached, the higher-ups of the Wizard Tower also gave Peter and the others a holiday, allowing them to go out and have some fun. This made Peter very excited! Ever since he transmigrated to this world, he had never had the chance to go out and have fun! Because he had always been working in the Wizard Tower. The original owner of this body was a poor young man from the countryside. He did not have much money on him. He had never been to the city for fun. Therefore, Peter had always looked forward to the day he could enter the city to have some fun. He wanted to see what the local customs and culture of this world were like. Today, there was finally such an opportunity! Without a doubt, this also made Peter very interested! He tidied himself up briefly and set off with his friends. ¡°Warden, your status is different now. I think you should invite us to have a meal at the restaurant!¡± ¡°Yeah, I heard that Old John¡¯s Restaurant in the nearby city is quite good. They have very delicious southern specialties!¡± The companions followed behind him and jeered. ¡°Sure, then let¡¯s go to Old John¡¯s Restaurant in the city to try it!¡± Peter listened to everyone¡¯s words and did not refuse. After all, it was New Year, and everyone was in a good mood. As the Warden, it was only appropriate for him to treat his subordinates to some good food! As they spoke, Peter led the group and arrived nearby the city. Because the Wizard Tower he was in was located at the border area of the kingdom, the surrounding environment was relatively remote. Although there was a city, it wasn¡¯t large in scale and didn¡¯t have a large population. When Peter and the group of people arrived there, they felt that the atmosphere there was too different from what they had imagined. He had thought that this place would be so lively and bustling. Now, it seemed that he had thought too much! After all, Peter was a person with the mindset and experience of the 21st century. He was used to seeing prosperous big cities in the 21st century. How could he think that a small broken city in this place was so prosperous? However, his subordinates were quite happy at this moment. Because they were all natives who lived here and had never been to a city before, everything here seemed extremely intriguing to them. They found everything fascinating! It was as if they were naive country folks who had never seen the world! But at this moment. They saw a small bird shimmering with light flying towards them. It was a magic message from the Wizard Tower, delivered in the form of a magic bird! The magic bird flew in front of them and soon landed in Peter¡¯s hand. Everyone was somewhat astonished. They did not know what was going on. Peter reached out and caught it. Soon, he received a message from the Wizard Tower from the magic bird. ¡°Wilson is dead!¡± Peter looked at the others. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 24 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Wilson is dead?¡± ¡°It was actually within my expectations. A person like him is always sick. It would be strange if he could still be alive!¡± ¡°Yes, I think so too.¡± ¡°For a person like him, if he dies now, it could be considered a relief!¡± The companions did not seem surprised by this. They all expressed their opinions one after another. At this moment, they felt free to speak their minds. However, after talking for a while, they realized that Peter¡¯s expression did not relax as expected. It was as if there was still something unresolved in his heart. ¡°Warden, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Looking at your frown, is there anything else you¡¯re worried about?¡± Everyone gathered around and asked. Seeing that everyone was asking this question, Peter did not hide it. Instead, he looked at everyone and said, ¡°Wilson is not dead!¡± ¡°What?¡± Everyone was even more shocked. The message from the Wizard Tower stated that Wilson had died, but Peter said that Wilson hadn¡¯t dead? What was going on? Was there a conflict in the information provided by both sides? Of course, everyone was more inclined to believe in the Wizard Tower. After all, the Wizard Tower¡¯s statements held more authoritative. But Peter couldn¡¯t care less. He didn¡¯t even have time to explain anything to the others and ran back without looking back. ¡°Warden!¡± ¡°Where are you going? Wait for us!¡± When everyone saw Peter like this, they followed him anxiously. Soon, Peter returned to the Wizard Tower. The reason Peter could guess that Wilson was not dead was because he had registered himself in his magic book. Now, the registration page showed no change in his information. This meant that Wilson was still alive! Peter hurried back because he was worried that Wilson would do something dangerously reckless! However, when he returned to the Wizard Tower, he found that the people here seemed to be busy with something. ¡°Peter? Didn¡¯t you guys go out to rest? Why are you back so soon?¡± Colot asked. ¡°Colot, where¡¯s Wilson? I mean¡­ The prisoner who just died, I received a magic message from the Wizard Tower!¡± Peter didn¡¯t have the time to explain and asked immediately. ¡°Wilson¡¯s body has been disposed of. Why? Do you have something to do now?¡± Colot found it strange. Peter had never been like this before! ¡°Already disposed of?¡± Peter was shocked. ¡°That¡¯s right, I sent him to the crematorium and watched the Advanced Wizards burn him to ashes with fire magic!¡± Colot clapped his hands. At the same time, he smiled at Peter and said jokingly, ¡°What¡¯s gotten into you? Have you developed some kind of special relationship with him after spending so much time together?¡± Peter was not in the mood for jokes. At this time, he spoke with a serious face, ¡°I suspect that he is not dead! He¡¯s using his special ability to feign death to deceive us!¡± He bluntly stated his guess. Colot¡¯s expression changed in an instant. ¡°What? Are you serious?!¡± He couldn¡¯t believe it! ¡°Of course, I¡¯ve been keeping an eye on him during this time. After prolonged observation, I came up with this speculation!¡± Peter made up an excuse. Even so, this was enough to convince Colot. He immediately said, ¡°Then wait here. I¡¯ll quickly report to the higher-ups!¡± Soon, Colot had run off into the distance. Meanwhile, Peter stayed where he was and immediately cast his gaze to a corner. After entering the range of the Wizard Tower, Peter found that he could use his perception ability to sense that Wilson¡¯s spirit body was still hidden in the Wizard Tower. In a short while, he had already locked onto his location. Peter smiled coldly. Because he had already figured out what Wilson was up to! Wilson was resorting to this tactic because there were many restrictions in the Wizard Tower. It was not easy to escape. He had to wait for an opportunity. Only by waiting for an opportunity could he leave the Wizard Tower. However, Peter did not intend to give him this chance at all! After glancing around, Peter found that there was no one around him, so he went straight to a dark corner where no one usually went. This place was rarely visited by anyone. However, when Peter arrived, he revealed a mysterious and inscrutable smile. ¡°Wilson, hiding here serves no purpose, as I¡¯ve already discovered you!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he shot out a wind blade! Boom! A shrill scream rang out. In that originally empty place, a phantom instantly appeared! The apparition vaguely showed his appearance. It was Wilson, who was supposed to be dead! However, Wilson wore an expression of shock. ¡°You, how could you have discovered my trail This is impossible!¡± As he spoke, he planned to escape. But how could Peter let him go? Peter shot out another fireball, hitting Wilson¡¯s soul! This further weakened Wilson, who was already frail. ¡°If you let me go, I can give you benefits!¡± Wilson began to beg Peter for mercy. ¡°Give me benefits? Unfortunately, I don¡¯t need your bullsh*t benefits at all!¡± Peter sneered again. Unfortunately, Peter did not intend to give him a chance at all and directly killed him! Immediately after, a shrill scream echoed throughout the entire Wizard Tower. When the others heard the noise, they gathered here and looked at Peter with astonishment. ¡°I found Wilson¡¯s soul just now. He attempted to escape, but I completely obliterated him!¡± Peter explained. ¡°I see. Peter, you¡¯re really something!¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for your astute detection, he would have likely escaped!¡± Inspector General Alfred sighed. When the others saw this, they also nodded in agreement. Peter smiled and said nothing more. That night, he returned to his residence and found that he had obtained three opportunities to draw magic. Peter did not hesitate to start drawing, and he drew the Level 3 Black Magic, Spirit Summoning! Spirit Summoning allowed control over spirit bodies. The higher the level, the stronger the spirit body can be controlled. Currently, Level 3 Spirit Summoning could only control three elementary vengeful souls or one intermediate vengeful soul. Another black magic! Apart from this, he also drew the Imprisonment Spell and the Silence Spell. That night, Peter went to a cemetery, which was a famous haunted place near the Wizard Tower. He planned to test out the effects of the black magic, Spirit Summoning! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 25 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Late at night. The cemetery was desolate and eerie, devoid of any human presence. Peter stood quietly and looked around. Soon, he noticed a figure not far away. The figure was incredibly strange and translucent. Its presence caused the temperature in the vicinity to drop significantly. It was a ghost! Peter immediately rushed over and waved his hand. He cast a Fireball Spell and destroyed the ghost! This was just an elementary ghost. Peter had no intention of experimenting with elementary ghosts. It was said that there was an intermediate vengeful soul and many elementary ghosts in this cemetery. Peter aimed to subdue the intermediate vengeful soul and make it his servant! In future battles, he could let the intermediate vengeful soul ambush his enemies from the shadows, catching them off guard. At that time, he was confident that he could take his opponents by surprise! This was exactly what Peter had hoped for! However, the intermediate vengeful soul would not appear on its own accord, so Peter directly destroyed the ghosts here, wanting to force the intermediate vengeful soul to reveal itself. In fact, this method proved to be quite effective. As Peter killed more and more elementary ghosts, he noticed a pair of eyes that seemed to have appeared in the darkness and was staring at him. ¡°Roar!¡± Soon, a black figure emerged! At the same time, it attacked Peter, but Peter immediately dodged to the side and effortlessly evaded it. Right where Peter had been standing just now, a cloud of black smoke suddenly appeared! Even the rocks on the ground were corroded by the black smoke! It was the intermediate vengeful soul! It had appeared! Peter thought to himself. At the same time, he heard a gloomy voice. ¡°Who is it? How dare you disturb my slumber!¡± The voice sounded extremely hoarse as if it came from the depths of hell. ¡°It¡¯s me!¡± Peter replied with a smile. At this moment, he finally saw what this intermediate vengeful soul looked like. The other party was like a ghost in a black robe, giving off a very sinister feeling. However, Peter was not afraid at all. Facing such a ghost, he had several ways to deal with it! Spirit Summoning! Without much hesitation, Peter unleashed the black magic. The intermediate vengeful soul had intended to attack Peter, but within a second, it found itself completely immobilized! ¡°What happened?¡± This terrified the intermediate vengeful soul Immediately after, a miserable cry came out of its mouth. The middle-level vengeful spirit was immediately controlled by Peter. It only felt that it had an involuntary desire to submit to the person in front of it! ¡°Subdue!¡± Peter shouted again. Then, the intermediate vengeful soul disappeared without a trace! Peter had successfully subdued the intermediate vengeful soul. Now that the intermediate vengeful soul was in a sealed state, the Spirit Summoning would automatically make it subservient to him. It would only require a certain amount of time. Peter would be able to completely dominate it! Peter was very satisfied with this. He hummed all the way back to his residence. ¡­ During this period, Welch appeared to be stable, but in fact, he was secretly colluding with Bruce. Peter was able to monitor the entire dungeon and was aware of their secret dealings. This gave Peter some peculiar thoughts. Initially, Peter had no intention of bringing Bruce into the patrol team because he know about Bruce¡¯s clandestine collaboration with Welch. But after some consideration, Peter changed his mind. He felt that things could not continue this way! Because now, Bruce could not enter the underground prison most of the time. Bruce was not a member of the patrol team. If he wanted to enter, he could only take advantage of the fact that the other team members had temporary tasks and were being replaced for a shift. This made Bruce and Welch very nervous every time they met. They couldn¡¯t talk about much! But in fact, Peter wanted to figure out the relationship between the two of them. He thought about it carefully for a while and found an excuse to let Bruce join in. After strengthening the security, Bruce had almost no opportunity to meet Welch. In the past few days, he had only met Welch three times, and each time did not even last more than ten minutes. But now that he had joined the patrol team, he had a chance to meet Welch. This made Bruce very happy! ¡°Peter is really an idiot. It seems my teacher was right. As long as I behave normally, they won¡¯t be able to detect my abnormality!¡± Bruce thought to himself. That night, it was Bruce¡¯s turn to be on duty. He came to the first underground floor to patrol. When he passed by Welch¡¯s cell door, Bruce looked around. He made sure that the person who was supposed to patrol with him wasn¡¯t present. Therefore, Bruce halted his steps and gazed into the prison. ¡°Mr. Welch, I¡¯ve successfully completed the tasks you assigned to me previously!¡± Bruce immediately spoke up. ¡°Very good. Now, we just need to wait for the right moment to execute our escape plan!¡± A smug smile appeared on Welch¡¯s face. It seemed that he had been preparing for this plan for a long time. Welch had been quietly planning all this time. Because he couldn¡¯t get in touch with Bruce in time, he could only do a little work every day. And now, this plan was finally about to succeed! Of course, this made Welch feel incredibly proud! ¡°Yes, Teacher. Once you successfully break out of prison, we will leave this place together. At that time, I will follow you to learn even more powerful magic!¡± A sinister smile appeared on Bruce¡¯s face. They exchanged a smile as if they could already see a bright future beckoning to them! However, what they did not know was that. The conversation between the two of them was clearly seen by a person hidden in the darkness. It was Peter! Peter observed their every move and had many thoughts running through his mind. It seemed that this method was indeed quite effective. At least he had discovered their plan so quickly! Peter looked very happy. ¡°Alright, Bruce, hurry up and transmit the latest information. We should start the next step of the plan!¡± Welch instructed. ¡°Yes, Teacher!¡± Bruce replied. Immediately after, Bruce left the place. After handing over his shift to others in the early hours of the morning, Bruce pretended to be heading back to rest. However, he turned around and walked toward the deserted wilderness. Little did he know. A ghostly shadow had already appeared behind him! Just as Bruce finally sense the threat, the ghostly figure swiftly pounced on him, without hesitation, and killed him!

Chapter 26 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Killing Bruce meant that Peter had temporarily thwarted the adversary¡¯s conspiracy. At least for the time being, he didn¡¯t have to worry about any unforeseen circumstances involving Welch! ¡°Thinking of escaping? No chance!¡± ¡°Since you¡¯ve been imprisoned under the Wizard Tower, then stay here forever and become the source of my magic power!¡± Peter thought to himself. In the next few days, Peter¡¯s life once again returned to peace and quiet. He had nothing else to do every day. He simply lived his normal daily life. And yet, through this routine, Peter¡¯s strength was constantly increasing, and he was finally a Junior Level 5 Wizard. Simultaneously, he also upgraded his Spirit Summoning by one level. ¡­ On this day, Peter was doing his own thing. But suddenly, he heard a chaotic sound coming from outside. Peter quickly went out to check. He found that a person was standing at the door, and it was the very arrogant Female Templar Knight. Irina! After some previous encounters, Irina was now very familiar with Peter. However, she remained as aloof as ever. She only nodded slightly as a greeting to Peter. ¡°Lady Irina, what brings you here today?¡± Peter asked curiously. ¡°I¡¯m here to send someone off!¡± As Irina spoke, she dragged someone out from behind her. Only then did Peter realize that his words seemed unnecessary. Why would Irina come here every time? It must be to send someone over! Because of this, Peter¡¯s gaze quickly fell on the man beside Irina. He noticed that the man appeared tall and slender. However, he was currently bound tightly. His hands were bound by magic shackles, making it impossible for him to break free! The man wore a black robe, making him look like a ghost from hell! At least from his aura, this person indeed emanated a very unsettling feeling. When Peter looked at the man, the man also met his gaze for a moment. However, just one glance made Peter¡¯s heart tremble. At this moment, he felt as if he had met the eyes of a demon! In an instant, Peter retracted his gaze. This person gave him an extremely uncomfortable sensation! It made him feel that despite being trapped at the moment, the man was still a formidable and terrifying demon. A demon that made it impossible for people to relax easily! ¡°This is the leader of the evil organization, Doomsday Dawn, the organization that Oddson belongs to. Fortunately, their organization has been completely destroyed by us!¡± Irina introduced. Then, she pushed the man in front of Peter. ¡°Detain him up on the second underground floor!¡± ¡°Doomsday Dawn?¡± When Peter heard this name, his heart trembled slightly. He had heard of this organization before. He knew deep down that this organization was not to be taken lightly. They were a terrifying force of evil throughout the entire kingdom. They proclaimed the end of the world and proclaimed that they were the only savior in the midst of it. In order to deal with them, the kingdom had expended a huge amount of manpower and resources, but it had been to no avail. He did not expect that after such a long time, they would finally destroy this evil organization. Furthermore, they had captured their leader and brought him here! [Prisoner: Hall] [Infamy Level: Nine Stars] [Strength: Advanced Level 7 Wizard] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture participation rate: 1%] [Reward: 100 magic points/hour] The moment Peter came into contact with this man, all kinds of information about him popped up in his mind. This guy was really terrifying! His infamy level had even reached nine stars! Peter thought to himself. However, this had nothing to do with Peter. What he needed to do now was very simple. Peter took the guy into custody obediently so that he could obtain more magic power! ¡°Hey buddy, I¡¯ll take you to your new home!¡± Peter joked. With that, he led Hall away. ¡°Lady Irina, I¡¯ll go back to work first. Please make yourself at home!¡± As they walked, Peter didn¡¯t forget to turn around and bid farewell to Irina. Irina glanced at Peter. Then, she walked away without looking back. ¡°This woman is really rude¡­¡± Peter complained. They went all the way down to the second underground floor. Hall didn¡¯t say a word throughout the whole process, as if he had already accepted the arrangement of fate. This saved Peter a lot of trouble! He liked such a stable and obedient person the most! Just like that, Peter locked the man in the innermost empty cell on the second underground floor. The cells in the underground area were also divided according to each person¡¯s strength. The deeper they went, the stronger the captives were! ¡°Alright, you can live here in peace!¡± Peter pushed him inside and quickly closed the door. After doing all this, Peter clapped his hands and left the place. ¡­ From Peter¡¯s point of view, since the leader of this evil organization had been captured and the Doomsday Dawn organization had been destroyed, all he had to do was lock Hall up here forever. There was no need to worry about anything else. But in fact, that did not seem to be the case! To the Wizard Tower, Hall seemed to be hiding some unknown secret! They still asked Peter to interrogate the man every day! However, when Peter asked about the reason, Inspector General Alfred would never answer. If Peter pressed for answers, Alfred would perhaps respond, ¡°There are some things that you shouldn¡¯t know now. Just do your own thing!¡± With Alfred¡¯s response, Peter stopped asking further questions. Who cares! Since the Inspector General said so, then he would do as he was told. He would not care about things that had nothing to do with him! This was Peter¡¯s way of survival! In the following period of time, through the interrogation of Hall, Peter¡¯s capture participation rate continued to increase. In the end, it was fixed at 40%! This greatly increased the amount of magic power Peter could obtain every hour! Now, he had 500 points! He silently appreciated Hall in his heart, but in fact, he interrogated Hall more frequently and diligently! Moreover, in every interrogation, Peter could be said to have used all kinds of magic in turns! Alfred was very pleased to see this. Because he believed that Peter¡¯s obedience and reliability were demonstrated through his actions!

Chapter 27 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Alfred believed that Peter¡¯s excellent performance was to strive for a promotion! A week passed like this. Late at night. Peter was resting in his room. At this moment, he suddenly heard a tremor outside. ¡°Oh no, there¡¯s an accident!¡± ¡°Everyone, quickly be on guard. Don¡¯t let that guy break free!¡± Various voices rang out. This also made Peter¡¯s heart suddenly tremble. Through his surveillance ability over the entire Wizard Tower, he quickly located the source of all this chaos. It was an evil dragon imprisoned on the fourth floor! The evil dragon had been peacefully staying on the fourth floor. Although it was very terrifying, it had been very calm. But for some reason, it actually went berserk today! A terrifying aura instantly spread throughout the entire area, making everyone in the Wizard Tower feel this terrifying atmosphere. The evil dragon seemed determined to break free. It was getting crazier and crazier. Even the entire Wizard Tower seemed to tremble under its tremendous influence. ¡°Quick, quick, quick!¡± ¡°Everyone, head to the fourth underground floor and seal the evil dragon again!¡± Inspector General Alfred¡¯s voice sounded. All the wizards sprang into action. They quickly rushed to the fourth underground floor and began their battle with the evil dragon! Peter continued to monitor the Wizard Tower. He saw the madness of the evil dragon, but at the same time, he noticed that there was an abnormality on the third floor. Doomsday Dawn¡¯s leader, Hall, was chatting with the people next to him through the cell wall. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that stupid dragon to actually have a brain. It¡¯s not exactly like the legends. It¡¯s just a mindless brute obsessed with madness and slaughter!¡± ¡°It knows to act at night, to create as much noise as possible. It knows that this way, it can attract all the attention of the Wizard Tower!¡± Hall smirked and said. ¡°That¡¯s right. This also gave us many opportunities to successfully escape!¡± The person next to him also replied with a cold smile. What were these people up to? Upon hearing their conversation, Peter immediately raised his attention. Because he felt that the content of the conversation between these two people seemed to be very explosive! Could it be that the evil dragon¡¯s madness had something to do with them? With this thought in mind, Peter heightened his vigilance and attention and continued to listen. ¡°But speaking of that, how did you make that evil dragon erupt with such powerful strength? We have all been sealed with our powers. We are unable to utilize our own power, even though we possessed it!¡± The man next to Hall asked again. Hearing his words, Hall¡¯s smile grew even stronger. ¡°Isn¡¯t that simple? Because I have a potion in my hand that can stimulate a person¡¯s strength, allowing the person¡¯s sealed strength to recover!¡± ¡°There¡¯s such a potion? That¡¯s incredible!¡± The man next door was very surprised. ¡°Of course! In fact, this potion had a certain negative effect, but compared to being able to escape, that negative effect was nothing!¡± Hall added. Hearing his words, the man next door was thrilled! ¡°That evil dragon riot was actually planned to facilitate our escape.¡± ¡°I intentionally allowed myself to be captured. Earlier, with the help of a traitor, I distributed the potion to all the prisoners on the first, second, and third floors. Eventually, they would completely riot and break through the seal.¡± Hall showed no signs of stopping. At this moment, he continued. The man next door was obviously very interested. ¡°I also hope to escape, but the people from the Wizard Tower will definitely react quickly. At that time, we might not be able to escape!¡± The man next door said again. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate people¡¯s yearning for freedom! To them, perhaps there was nothing more important than freedom in this world!¡± Hall disregarded the concern. He continued, ¡°As for how many can escape, that will depend on their own strength!¡± So it was like this! I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a scheme! However, your plan will no longer succeed. Now that I know everything, all your conspiracy can only end in complete failure! ¡­ It was just as Hall had said. As all the wizards rushed into the fourth floor to subdue the evil dragon, riots broke out among all the prisoners on the first three floors. This included many prisoners with formidable strength! They were trapped here not because their strength was insufficient, but purely because their strength was suppressed. Now that the seal was broken, they were naturally unwilling to give up. The group of people swarmed out of the Wizard Tower like a tide. However. When they all rushed outside, they saw a figure waiting there. It was none other than Peter! Peter arrived just in time. When everyone in the Wizard Tower went to the fourth floor to subdue the evil dragon, he blocked the escape route. When those people saw Peter, they were a little surprised at first. They had not expected to encounter someone blocking their way here! However, since Peter was alone, these guys naturally didn¡¯t take Peter seriously. In their eyes, Peter was like a defenseless lamb, ready to be killed by them at any moment! Therefore, the group of people swarmed and killed Peter. Unfortunately. They had underestimated Peter¡¯s strength. At this moment, Peter was like a Grim Reaper who reaped the lives of others. One by one, he killed them! His strength was only that of a Junior Level 5 Wizard, but with his powerful magic and black magic, he had killed many people who had not recovered their strength. Keep this in mind. Although these prisoners were strong, most of them had not fully regained their strength. Therefore, they only relied solely on numbers. A large group of people charged at him. Their combat strength was not worth mentioning at all. Peter easily killed many of them! At the same time, Peter seized the opportunity to extract magic from them! ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°These guys are like little monsters in the game that give me experience points. As long as I keep killing them, I can continuously gain strength from them!¡± Peter was very happy. By constantly killing enemies, Peter had extracted some common magics to their maximum level. At the same time, he discovered something. After extracting the same magic at the maximum level, the overflow could be converted into magic power. Moreover, the magic power given was quite substantial! This made Peter¡¯s level soar like a rocket, and soon he had risen to Junior Level 9 Wizard! Very good, let¡¯s continue like this! Peter was very satisfied with this! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 28 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio As he continuously attacked the enemies, many prisoners died in front of Peter. The rest looked at Peter in fear. No one dared to rush forward. Because they realized that Peter had become even more terrifying than themselves! He became a very frightening figure, a guy who was like a demon! ¡°Who else is here to die?¡± Standing in front of these people, Peter let out a cold laugh. His words carried a powerful aura that shocked everyone present! ¡°You¡¯re a good talent, but unfortunately, you chose the wrong team.¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t sided with these ridiculous wizards and stood with us, perhaps I would have given you a chance to live!¡± ¡°How is it? I can give you one last chance to choose!¡± At this moment. A cold voice rang out. Peter knew it was Hall who had come out! With a sinister and eerie smile on his face, Hall slowly approached Peter. He had his hands behind his back and was calm. ¡°Unfortunately, I will disappoint you!¡± Peter replied indifferently. At the same time, Peter unleashed a Fireball Spell, hurling it toward Hall. Although Hall was the leader of an evil organization and possessed incomparable power, his power was currently sealed. Even with the help of the potion, it would still take a long time for him to fully recover his strength. This gave Peter a chance to fight him! Whoosh! Peter¡¯s Fireball Spell hit Hall. However, Hall showed no trace of fear. He only sneered. Then, a translucent barrier appeared in his hand to help him block Peter¡¯s attack. ¡°Look, your strength is so weak.¡± Hall¡¯s tone even carried a sense of mockery. It seemed that in his opinion, even if he did not have all his strength now, it was still enough to deal with Peter! ¡°Is that so?¡± Peter also sneered. Immediately after, the fireball exploded, revealing a wind blade emerging from within! It turned out that Peter had wrapped the Wind Blade Spell in the Fireball Spell and cast them together. This sudden move caught the opponent off guard and even left a gash on Hall¡¯s face! Blood flowed out of the wound. ¡°How is it? How does the Wind Blade Spell feel?¡± Peter laughed. ¡°Brat!¡± The gleam in Hall¡¯s eyes became even more ferocious. He rushed toward Peter with a big stride, and countless intense flames suddenly appeared on his body, as if he wanted to burn everything down! Boom! The mighty flames seemed to devour everything! Peter hurriedly defended himself. But almost at the same time, the opponent¡¯s attack hit Peter heavily. This attack directly sent Peter flying far away, making him dizzy and disoriented! After a long time, he finally came back to his senses. ¡°This guy¡¯s strength is indeed formidable. Even if his strength has only recovered to the level of a Junior Wizard, he is probably a Junior Level 9 Wizard!¡± Peter judged in his heart. But even so, he didn¡¯t want to let Hall go! Peter tried his best to calm himself down. At the same time, he looked around and found that Hall had already run away! ¡°He escaped!¡± Peter immediately understood what had happened. Fortunately, he had registered Hall. Even if he ran to the horizon, he would still be able to track him. Running all the way, Peter quickly caught up to him. He saw that Hall had already run far away, but at the same time, he saw that Hall¡¯s speed was gradually slowing down. He was injured! Peter soon discovered that something amiss. ¡°That¡¯s perfect!¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re injured, then stop running and die here!¡± Peter roared in anger. At the same time, he dashed toward Hall. Hall was fleeing in panic, but suddenly, he saw a figure appear behind him. He turned around and looked over. To his surprise, it was Peter! This undoubtedly shocked Hall! ¡°Kid, you¡¯re actually not dead? You even caught up. This was too unbelievable!¡± Hall immediately exclaimed. ¡°That¡¯s right. Are you surprised? So, go to hell now!¡± Peter didn¡¯t waste his breath on him. The Fireball Spell instantly shot out and heavily bombarded Hall¡¯s back! Boom! A flash of fire instantly exploded, sending Hall flying. However, a gust of wind suddenly appeared under Hall¡¯s feet. The wind lifted his body and made him float in the air. ¡°I have to admit that your strength has completely exceeded my expectations, but I¡¯ve said it before. Don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t kill you just because I haven¡¯t recovered my strength!¡± ¡°I, myself, possess the strength of an Advanced Level 9 Wizard. Killing you now is as easy as crushing an ant!¡± Hall looked down at Peter from a superior position. ¡°Is that so? Then let me see who is more formidable!¡± Peter was not afraid at all. At the same time, he waved his hand vigorously, unleashing an even more powerful fireball. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t have any other methods. However, due to his current persona, Peter could not cast more and stronger magics. He could only use Wind Blade Spell and Fireball Spell back and forth. After all, he was just a Junior Wizard. He shouldn¡¯t know so many magics! Boom! Fireball Spell and Wind Blade Spell relentlessly struck the opponent. That series of powerful attacks was almost impossible for any enemy to guard against. Of course, the prerequisite was that the opponent¡¯s strength must not exceed that of a Junior Level 9 Wizard. But now, Hall was obviously not afraid of Peter. A very tremendously strong gust of wind immediately appeared around him. At the same time, he laughed maniacally. ¡°You think you can deal with me with such a feeble Fireball Spell? I¡¯ll show you today that I¡¯m stronger than you even if it¡¯s just a Fireball Spell!¡± As soon as Hall finished speaking, an even more terrifying flame appeared in his palm. The raging flames continued to emerge, exerting terrifying pressure on anyone who witnessed them! However, at this moment, a beam of golden light appeared in the sky. The golden light pierced through Hall¡¯s body at an indiscernible speed. At the same time, a terrifying explosion sounded! Boom! Hall was stunned! This change came too suddenly, and he did not even have the time to react. In the blink of an eye, a huge hole had appeared in his chest! This meant that his life was about to come to an end!

Chapter 29 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°You¡­¡± Hall couldn¡¯t believe that the plan he had planned for such a long time, which was about to succeed, could actually fail completely at the last moment! This was truly unbelievable! However, just as Hall was still in disbelief, he saw Irina brandish her longsword. Shua! A beam of holy light descended from the sky! As the holy light landed heavily on Hall¡¯s body, he let out an extremely miserable scream. In the holy light, Hall was completely purified! Peter was dumbfounded! Isn¡¯t Irina too powerful? Peter felt that the strength of this Templar Knight had far exceeded his limits. Even if he relied on the strength of his powerful black magic, he would not be able to defeat her. If Peter really had to fight with all his might, the only outcome he would face in front of Irina was to be killed by her, just like Hall. At the thought of this, Peter felt a chill in his heart. But no matter what, Hall was already dead! This meant that the greatest threat had been eradicated! Peter¡¯s tense heart finally relaxed. At this moment, Irina slowly descended from the sky. She stood beside Peter, and her pair of azure blue eyes fell on Peter, sizing him up. At this moment, Peter felt as if Irina had seen through him. He didn¡¯t have the ability to evade Irina! ¡°Lady Irina¡­¡± Peter forced a smile and greeted Irina. ¡°Thank goodness you arrived in time, and I was saved from being killed by him.¡± The way Peter presented himself to Irina seemed like he was nervous and flustered, facing such a formidable enemy as Hall for the first time. In fact, Peter was indeed a little flustered. However, it wasn¡¯t because of a powerful enemy like Hall, but because of Irina. It had been like this from the very beginning! Whenever Peter was in front of Irina, he always had a feeling that he would be completely seen through by her as long as he looked at her! To the point where he didn¡¯t even dare to maintain eye contact with Irina for too long. But no matter what, Peter did not back down. ¡°Facing a leader of an evil organization like Hall, you are able to remain calm and are willing to fight to the death with him.¡± ¡°Although your strength is inferior to his, and although you are destined to be unable to defeat him, this is still something worthy of encouragement and commendation!¡± Irina spoke up. Hearing her words, Peter suddenly trembled and looked at her in disbelief. ¡°Lady Irina?¡± ¡°In addition, I¡¯ve heard about you before, and I think that you indeed possess great talent in learning magic. Therefore, I hope to recommend you to the kingdom¡¯s Magic Academy. I wonder if you are willing to go?¡± Irina didn¡¯t directly answer Peter¡¯s question. Instead, she told him her true purpose. There was such a good thing? It seemed that his performance had earned Irina¡¯s admiration! Peter speculated as he heard her words. If it was under any other circumstances, perhaps Peter would agree to her request, but the current Peter couldn¡¯t possibly accept it! Go to the Royal Academy to learn magic? Is it faster than him obtaining power directly from the magic book? Peter thought to himself. ¡°I¡¯m truly sorry, Lady Irina, but I don¡¯t have such lofty ambitions. My only thought is to be a good Warden.¡± Peter shrugged and said helplessly. Irina was clearly confused by Peter¡¯s attitude. Perhaps in her opinion, being able to enter the kingdom¡¯s academy to learn magic was almost every wizard¡¯s dream. Logically speaking, Peter should not and had no reason to refuse. But Peter refused without hesitation! This was somewhat beyond Irina¡¯s expectations. ¡°But when you face danger, that kind of aura that dares to risk your life against the enemy doesn¡¯t seem like a person without ambition.¡± Irina asked. ¡°Lady Irina, you misunderstood me again. I only did this to protect myself. If I didn¡¯t fight him, he would have a higher chance of escaping.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, he will definitely gather even more powerful forces to besiege the Wizard Tower in the future. By then, wouldn¡¯t I have no way out?¡± ¡°Although he is powerful now, he has not fully regained his strength. I can barely fight a Junior Wizard.¡± ¡°This way, even if I can¡¯t defeat him, I can still hold on until reinforcements arrive. I believe that the Wizard Tower will never allow such a powerful enemy to escape!¡± Peter said a lot in one breath to cover up his true thoughts and intentions. However, he had to admit that his words did make sense. And at least on the surface, Peter¡¯s behavior appeared more reasonable. Irina and Peter looked at each other again, and in the end, she said kindly, ¡°If you encounter such a situation again, don¡¯t go out and take risks. This level of danger is beyond what you can withstand!¡± After saying this, Irina didn¡¯t linger any longer and directly turned to leave. Only when Irina had completely left did Peter finally relaxed. She was finally gone! If Irina hadn¡¯t left, he might have had to come up with even more excuses to gain her trust. If that was the case, he might be exposed. But in any case, Peter had gained a lot today! Irina had killed Hall, and although he had lost a huge source of magic power, Peter had also obtained three chances to extract magic. Peter did not hesitate. He first found a place where there was no one to rest for a while and extracted three magics at the same time. They were all very powerful magics, including a black magic Resurrection Spell, an Invisibility Spell, and a normal magic: Agility Spell. The Agility Spell could enhance one¡¯s speed in all aspects for a certain period of time. Whether it was the speed of running, flying, or casting magic. This was a very useful spell for Peter. Because in a battle, if you were faster than others, your chances of victory would be higher! Peter returned to the Wizard Tower and found that everyone was busy cleaning up the mess, ignoring him. ¡°Peter, where did you go just now?¡± Alfred asked. ¡°I was chasing after Hall, but I saw Lady Irina on the way. Lady Irina killed Hall!¡± Peter answered truthfully. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 30 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Everyone was shocked when they heard Peter¡¯s actions. At this moment, everyone looked at Peter as if they were looking at a monster. Of course. The truth was revealed. Their admiration for Peter was not the reason behind their actions. Right now, they only felt that he was crazy! A mere Junior Wizard dared to chase after the leader of an evil force. Wasn¡¯t that sheer madness? ¡°Peter, what you¡¯re doing is a little too risky!¡± Alfred also tried to advise him. ¡°To be honest, you are indeed very brave, but if you lose your life because of this, it¡¯s not worth it.¡± He looked like he was complaining. But Peter could tell from Alfred¡¯s tone that the Inspector General was actually very pleased and happy. Perhaps he felt that being so brave was an outstanding performance. As for Peter? He naturally repeated the words he had said to Irina to the Inspector General. ¡°In the future, you can let the Advanced Wizards handle such matters. After all, you¡¯re just Junior Wizard. It¡¯s best to stay away from such dangerous situations.¡± Alfred nodded when he heard Peter¡¯s words and kindly reminded him. But soon, he changed the topic and said to Peter, ¡°No matter what, your actions just now can be considered to have helped the Wizard Tower avoid a greater disaster. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?¡± ¡°Lord Inspector General, I don¡¯t need any rewards.¡± Peter said very straightforwardly. At this point, perhaps he was afraid that the Inspector General would misunderstand, so he continued, ¡°Instead of that, I actually hope that you can give me more manpower. Perhaps this way, I can tighten the surveillance!¡± ¡°Hmm, your suggestion is still acceptable.¡± Alfred agreed with Peter. No matter what, now the underground area is getting more and more chaotic. If such matters were not handled properly, more troubles would undoubtedly arise. To everyone, this was actually an unfavorable outcome! Because of this, Peter¡¯s words were very reasonable! ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Once I¡¯m done with the matters at hand, I¡¯ll immediately report your request to the higher-ups. I believe that they will not refuse.¡± Alfred added, perhaps to reassure Peter. ¡°Alright.¡± Peter also nodded. Next, Peter followed everyone to clean up the mess. After this battle, they lost many comrades. Fortunately, none of the rioting prisoners escaped. They easily caught all the prisoners! Peter¡¯s life returned to normal. But no matter what, after experiencing such a large-scale battle, everyone realized that their lives might never go back to how they were before. The next morning, Irina came to the Wizard Tower once again. This time, she conveyed the kingdom¡¯s reward. In the midst of the crisis at the Wizard Tower, everyone had shown great bravery! Therefore, the kingdom was very pleased and decided to give them many rewards. Moreover, each of them would be rewarded! This made everyone in the Wizard Tower very happy! Of course, this time, it was mainly to reward Peter. This was because when Peter faced a powerful enemy, he was not intimidated by the danger. Instead, he bravely fought the enemy! This was undoubtedly something worthy of praise for the kingdom! Who knew if there were even more powerful evil forces behind Hall? If the enemy really escaped, the consequences would be unimaginable. Because of this, Peter¡¯s contribution to this matter was immense and indelible. Irina finally stood there and rewarded Peter in front of everyone in the Wizard Tower. Everyone was once again surprised and shocked. Because Irina had confirmed Peter¡¯s words last night! One had to know. Even though Peter had told them about his actions yesterday, some people still didn¡¯t believe him. They thought that Peter was bragging or exaggerating his contributions. However, with Irina¡¯s confirmation, things were different! This meant that everything Peter said was true! Everyone was in disbelief and looked at Peter with awe in their eyes. Some even cast envy-filled glances at Peter. However, Peter felt that this was not a good thing. Because he realized that he had become too high-profile without realizing it, and had already attracted the attention of all the members of the Wizard Tower. It even attracted the attention of the kingdom! In the future, he should keep a low profile. After all, he was only a Junior Wizard on the surface! He needed to always remember his image and character! Seeing Irina¡¯s reward, Peter walked up and bowed deeply, said, ¡°I want to thank the kingdom for the rewards they have bestowed upon me. The reason why I am able to obtain all of this is because the Wizard Tower nurtures me. So, I decided to donate them all to the Wizard Tower!¡± ¡°What?¡± When people heard Peter¡¯s words, they were undoubtedly shocked. They never expected Peter to say such a thing. After all, the kingdom had offered quite a lot as a reward for Peter. The various gold, silver, and jewelry alone were enough to buy a small manor. Yet Peter directly rejected the reward, which undoubtedly made people feel incredulous. At this moment, Peter suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his selflessness. So, he smiled and changed his mind. ¡°Because I think this money is too much. I¡¯ll just take one-third of it. The rest will be donated to the Wizard Tower. You know, if I go out with so much money, I¡¯ll definitely be targeted by bandits and robbers!¡± His reasons were always sufficient. Moreover, it made it difficult for others to find fault. After hearing Peter¡¯s words, most people found it reasonable. After all, the wilderness in this world was not a safe place. When a person possessed wealth that exceeded their own strength, they would undoubtedly be targeted by villains. It could only be said that Peter was a very cautious person. In order to ensure his own safety, it was understandable for him to think this way. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s do as you say!¡± Irina nodded. Even so, one-third of the reward was still a significant amount of wealth. When the surrounding people saw this, they all felt envious. Unfortunately, they were not as lucky as Peter!

Chapter 31 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After such a thing happened, Peter was not in a hurry to level up, because he knew that if he leveled up aimlessly now, it would be easier for him to expose himself. Therefore, the most important thing for him now was to keep a low profile as much as possible. Only by keeping a low profile could he avoid encountering various dangerous things as much as possible. Therefore, Peter focused his main experience on improving his magic abilities. After all, the magic level was also very important! The higher the magic level, the stronger Peter¡¯s combat power! It could also bring him considerable rewards in battles. Therefore, in the next few days, Peter used all the rewards he obtained to increase his magic level. Although he had lost Hall, Peter managed to enhance his magic power by interrogating others. Now, he maintained a magic power of 500 points per hour! This could completely meet Peter¡¯s daily needs! Soon. It took Peter a few days to raise all his magic levels to the maximum. This was undoubtedly a huge advantage for him. A few more days later, the higher-ups gave their approval. Based on the current situation, they finally allowed Peter¡¯s request to expand the patrol team. Next, several junior wizards were assigned to Peter. This allowed their patrol team to expand to a total of ten people! Although there were only ten people, it was actually quite a large number for a Wizard Tower. After all, in most Wizard Towers, there were only two or three patrol members, dar dewer than Peter and his team. This was also because Peter and his team encountered major trouble! In any case, this also made Peter and his team¡¯s work a little easier. After all, when everyone patrolled this place in the past, they were extremely tense and did not have a day¡¯s rest. As time went by, problems were bound to occur. However, it was different now! It was precisely because of this the members of Peter¡¯s patrol team warmly welcomed the new members. At the same time, Peter was granted access to the fifth floor of the underground area. This was also something that surprised Peter! He thought that the deeper parts of the underground area were places that needed constant vigilance. Under normal circumstances, Junior Wizards like him would not be allowed to enter. However, the Inspector General seemed to have seen through Peter¡¯s thoughts. Therefore, he directly stated the many considerations involved, ¡°Actually, this is also a decision made by the higher-ups after careful consideration! Because the previous incident proved that if they did not patrol the underground area frequently for a long time, it was very likely that more enemies would successfully cause damage!¡± That was true¡­ Peter pondered for a while and felt that the Inspector General¡¯s concerns were reasonable. It seemed that the higher-ups were still well aware of the situation. After experiencing these incidents, they easily considered the various pros and cons. It was just that they had been too trusting of their magic arrays before, which led to such frequent safety incidents. Of course, this was just Peter¡¯s speculation. In fact, whether this was the case or not was not something Peter could determine. But that was not important. Because Peter didn¡¯t care about that now. ¡°However, Peter, you should be careful. Even though you have been granted access to the fifth floor, it¡¯s better for you not to go there.¡± ¡°As for the patrol of the fifth floor, we only need two people to patrol twice a day for no more than ten minutes each time.¡± Inspector General Alfred seemed to have thought of something, and he even gave a special reminder. This made Peter very confused. At this moment, he didn¡¯t seem to understand what the Inspector General meant. Alfred quickly replied, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. Because the fifth floor is still an extremely dangerous area for you all!¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Peter nodded in agreement with the Inspector General. Seeing Peter¡¯s response, Alfred felt somewhat satisfied and said, ¡°Peter, I¡¯m still very optimistic about you. I think you¡¯ll have great prospects in the future. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t want you to die because of this!¡± Upon seeing the Inspector General¡¯s concern, Peter said firmly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Inspector General. I¡¯ll pay attention to this.¡± With Peter¡¯s words, the Inspector General finally seemed to have settled down a little. Next, Peter entered the fourth-floor area for the first time. And when he really came here, he discovered that the fourth-floor area was indeed more dangerous and terrifying than the previous floors. Just by standing there, Peter could feel the terrifying and gloomy aura enveloping him. At the same time, cold gazes instantly turned to Peter. Peter noticed. The giant dragon had already been imprisoned in the innermost area of the fourth floor. The innermost area of each floor was used to imprison the most dangerous people. It was precisely because of this that after the previous riot, the evil dragon was naturally imprisoned in the innermost area and treated in the harshest way. Peter stood outside the prison cell and looked at the giant dragon that was bound by countless chains and suppressed. He also smiled faintly. That was because he was going to interrogate the giant dragon today! That¡¯s right! Alfred had also granted Peter such authority! However, because the dragon was huge, it could not be taken out. Therefore, Peter could only interrogate the giant dragon within this prison cell. As for the other methods, they were no different from interrogating prisoners. Clap, clap, clap! Peter cast the Fireball Spell and shot it at the giant dragon. Layers of white smoke immediately appeared on the dragon¡¯s tough scales. After the white smoke dissipated, there was no trace left. ¡°Puny human, do you think your methods can hurt me? Ridiculous!¡± The giant dragon spoke. Its voice sounded low and muffled, obviously not taking Peter seriously at all. At this moment, Peter didn¡¯t have any intention of being polite to it. The smile on his face became even brighter. ¡°Is that so?¡± Immediately after, Peter cast the Frost Spell and the Wind Blade Spell! All kinds of magic were cast on the giant dragon ruthlessly. Boom! Boom! Boom! After a series of magic attacks, the giant dragon remained still on the ground quietly, motionless, as if it was not affected by Peter¡¯s attacks at all. ¡°I told you, your magic is too weak. It won¡¯t work on me.¡± ¡°In fact, among your companions, only Advanced Wizard can deal effective damage to me!¡± The black dragon continued to mock him. If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 32 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The giant dragon still did not care at all. It continued mocking Peter as if it did not consider Peter a treat. After casting some more magic, Peter still could not hurt the giant dragon. ¡°Puny human, you should give up. Perhaps you should ask your Inspector General to come over and give it a try. With his strength, he should be able to injure me!¡± The giant dragon mocked again. However, Peter only smiled. He had no intention of calling the Inspector General over. Then, Peter waved his hand, and a blue flame shot out from his hand and directly entered the giant dragon¡¯s body. In an instant, the dragon had the illusion that its soul was burning. A look of astonishment appeared in its eyes. Then, the giant dragon said in disbelief, ¡°You, you actually know black magic¡­¡± That¡¯s right! When Peter realized that his magic was ineffective against it, he didn¡¯t bother wasting time with it. He used black magic on the giant dragon! Soul Flame! This flame could directly burn a person¡¯s soul! He wanted to see if this giant dragon could withstand the attack of black magic even if ordinary magic could not hurt it. The answer was obvious! It couldn¡¯t! Under the intense burning of black magic, the giant dragon¡¯s expression became increasingly painful. Its massive body began to tremble because it felt as if its soul was about to be torn apart. ¡°Roar¡­¡± The giant dragon let out a low growl. It seemed filled with dissatisfaction toward Peter. However, it was now completely sealed, so even if it had any thoughts in its mind, it could not use them at all. It could only endure the burning of black magic on its body bit by bit! ¡°How is it? Does it feel good to have your soul burned?¡± Peter asked with a smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a wizard from the Wizard Tower to be able to master black magic!¡± The dragon sneered. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll tell others about you? At that time, you will also be imprisoned here!¡± ¡°Unfortunately, no one else knows about this except you. As long as I don¡¯t show my abilities in front of them, no one will believe that I can use black magic.¡± Peter looked indifferent. The giant dragon was speechless. Because it could feel the smugness in Peter¡¯s tone. In fact, that was indeed the case! Would people believe a Junior Wizard in the Wizard Tower, or would they believe an imprisoned giant dragon? The answer was self-evident! Moreover, it was not a fool. It knew that since this human dared to be so confident, he must have a way to prevent others from noticing his uniqueness. People who practiced black magic all had a strange aura. But this person didn¡¯t have it! It was obvious that he could hide his aura. Otherwise, he, who knows how to use black magic, would have been caught by the Advanced Wizards of the Wizard Tower. Since he didn¡¯t, it meant that he could indeed hide his strength! It thought of this. The giant dragon stopped talking and just looked at Peter with a resentful look. Today¡¯s interrogation ended here. Peter was very satisfied with his results! [Prisoner: Giant Dragon Gerson] [Infamy Level: 10 Stars] [Strength: Level 9 Giant Dragon] [Status: Imprisoned] [Capture participation rate: 30%] [Reward: 300 magic power/hour] ¡­ Soon, the giant dragon¡¯s information was registered in the magic book. Peter felt a sense of satisfaction and also a certain level of astonishment when he saw it. Because he had always thought that the highest infamy level was only nine stars. But he hadn¡¯t expected that the Giant Dragon Gerson had reached 10 stars! Moreover, he could be considered a very powerful existence. A Level 9 Giant Dragon! Just like human wizards, giant dragons were also divided into high and low levels. A Level 9 Giant Dragon was considered extremely powerful. It was said that its strength was even stronger than an Advanced Wizard! Such a creature could indeed bring him good benefits. It seemed that Peter would have to interrogate it more in the future and increase its capture participation rate. That way, he should be able to earn 1000 magic points! It felt so good! Peter was thrilled with this idea! However, that was not the most important thing for Peter now. Since the larger underground area had been opened to him, Peter naturally had to include all these areas within his surveillance range! He didn¡¯t want any more loopholes. Therefore, Peter did not hesitate to do so. After this series of arrangements, Peter discovered a problem. From the fourth floor onwards, all kinds of monsters gradually increased. The first three floors were still dominated by humans. From the fourth floor onwards, these monsters appeared. Apart from the giant dragon, Peter also registered two prisoners on the fourth floor. One was a succubus. It was a seductive lady with an attractive figure. If Peter didn¡¯t know that her race was a succubus, he would even think that she was a human lady. But he knew that succubi were all like this. They would use their inherent seductive abilities to bewitch men of various races, and then absorb their vitality through intimate relationships. Peter almost fell for it. Fortunately, Peter¡¯s strength was strong enough to resist her allure. But at the same time, this also made Peter realize something. The deeper he went into the underground area, the more dangerous it became. The Inspector General¡¯s words were absolutely correct! Therefore, Peter was very curious about what was on the fifth floor. Therefore, he secretly began to monitor the fifth floor at night. He discovered that the fifth floor was clean, spacious, and incredibly luxurious. There was a table in the middle, and a handsome young man sat next to the table. The young man¡¯s face was pale, but he was reading a book. At a glance, Peter could tell that the person had considerable strength. The young man also noticed Peter¡¯s presence at a glance, which shocked Peter because the young man had actually discovered him. ¡°Friend, as a soul, isn¡¯t it a little immoral for you to spy on me like this?¡± The young man glanced in Peter¡¯s direction! After the communication, the young man suspected that Peter was a soul. Looks like he hadn¡¯t figured out Peter¡¯s true identity! Peter thought to himself. In that case, Peter could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At that moment, another person approached. He came before the young man and knelt on one knee. He seemed very polite and said, ¡°Your Earl Excellency, who are you talking to?¡± Earl? Peter was slightly surprised. He knew that the Blood Clan was divided into five ranks. From highest to lowest, the order was Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. The young man¡¯s face was pale. He did not look like a normal human. He looked like a person who did not get to bask in the sun all year round.

Chapter 33 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Could it be that he was a Blood Clan Earl? Such a guess could not help but appear in Peter¡¯s heart! He felt that this wasn¡¯t impossible! If he was really a Blood Clan Earl, then he was indeed a very powerful figure. Although Peter knew that there was a seal in this underground area, the prisoners confined inside would not easily escape. However, he did not dare to let his guard down. He was afraid that there might be some dangerous things inside! Therefore, after thinking for a while, Peter decided to leave. He could not stay here for long! Peter perceived the strange atmosphere here. He did not dare to stay any longer and quickly went back. In his heart. He also sighed with emotion. The fifth underground floor was indeed dangerous! ¡­ In the following period of time. Peter¡¯s life was also very ordinary, and no accidents happened. He did his own thing silently every day. Finally, he raised his strength to an Intermediate Level 1 Wizard. Of course, he claimed to be a Junior Wizard publically, but Junior Level 2 Wizard. The Inspector General was happy. He felt that Peter was indeed a very suitable person to learn magic. He gave Peter three days off. After all, Peter had never taken a break since he came to the Wizard Tower. He had been working in the Wizard Tower all this time. Moreover, he had actually done some of the work very well. This, of course, made the Inspector General very happy. He immediately approved Peter¡¯s three-day leave! Peter was also very happy. After arranging the team members¡¯ work, he went out to play. At the same time. During this time, Peter also planned to start studying black magic. He definitely couldn¡¯t study black magic in the Wizard Tower. And there were very few opportunities for him to be alone outside. Therefore, Peter felt that this three-day leave was a good opportunity! He discovered that he had black magic that could resurrect the dead, which was Puppet Spell. During his outing, he came to a wilderness. Peter planned to look for some animal carcasses to try! In the wilderness. There were many such things! Soon, Peter found a deer¡¯s corpse on the ground. He tried to resurrect the deer that had been bitten by a wild beast by the roadside. Puppet Spell! Peter cast the magic! The mutilated corpse struggled a few times on the ground. After a while, it gradually got up and looked around, as if it was curious about its resurrection. But in fact, this was not a real resurrection. It was just an undead being under Peter¡¯s control. The undead deer took a few steps before Peter burned it to ashes. This kind of thing looked a little scary. Moreover, although this was the outskirts of the country, it wasn¡¯t as if there were no outsiders. It was precisely because of this. He felt that it would be quite terrifying if outsiders saw it. Peter did not say anything and directly eliminated the undead. He felt that this skill might be able to save his life at a critical moment. It was better not to use it normally. Moreover, the so-called Resurrection Spell could only control corpses, not the real Resurrection Spell. It was no wonder that the Blasphemer Welch had always studied the Resurrection Spell. What he wanted was true resurrection! In this world. To truly resurrect the dead and not turn them into the undead was indeed a very profound and unfathomable knowledge. With Peter¡¯s attainments in mysticism, he did not know if it was possible to accomplish such a thing. However, there was only one thing he knew for certain. That was Welch¡¯s Resurrection Spell was not a real resurrection either! ¡­ On the way to the town, as he got closer and closer to the town, the number of people around him increased. Those passersby should be the residents of the nearby villages. They were all walking into the town. Some of them were pushing carts loaded with various agricultural products as if they were going to sell things in the city. There were also some people carrying bundles and bags. They were obviously in a hurry. Ever since Peter entered the Wizard Tower, he had never come into contact with ordinary people outside. When he saw these passersby, he felt a sense of familiarity. Because he was wearing the clothes of the Wizard Tower, the ordinary people treated Peter with some respect. Because everyone knew that the people in the Wizard Tower were all wizards with magic abilities. In the kingdom, their status was much higher than that of ordinary people. Even an Apprentice Wizard would feel superior in front of ordinary people. However, Peter was not the kind of person who liked to oppress others with his status. He did not put on any airs just because he was a wizard. At this time, he got along well with the ordinary people. When the people saw that Peter didn¡¯t act superior, they gradually relaxed. Then, Peter began to chat with these people. Through the conversation. Peter realized that some of them were believers. Now, they were preparing to go to the church of the Goddess of Earth to pray. The Wizard Tower to which Peter belonged was under the jurisdiction of the Church of Light. In this world, besides the God of Light, there were also the Sea God, the Goddess of Earth, the God of War, the God of Thunder, the God of Flame (War), and the Grim Reaper. The God of Light was the Lord God, and the other gods were Affiliated Gods. People could only believe in other gods because they were all affiliated with the God of Light. But Peter also knew. In this world, other than the Orthodox Gods, there were actually many Chaos Gods. For example, some evil forces were actually subordinates of Chaos Gods. Chaos Gods were usually filled with evil and greed. They needed people to perform all kinds of cruel and terrifying rituals to sacrifice and appease them. If people have a little carelessness, they may be corrupted by Chaos Gods. Therefore, when the Wizard Tower discovered the presence of any cult, their choice was often to directly eliminate it! This was the only way to ensure that the world would not be invaded by evil forces. But Peter also knew. Sometimes, people weren¡¯t willing to believe in Chaos Gods. Instead, some people had no choice but to believe in Chaos Gods. In the Orthodox Churches, they didn¡¯t care about the lives of the people at the bottom of the hierarchy. In the villages that were invaded by countless monsters and magical beasts, while the magical beasts wreaked havoc, the people also suffered. However, when the Orthodox churches fought against the magical beasts, they often chose to abandon the people there. They were worried that these people might have been contaminated by Chaos Gods! Moreover, the living standards of the lower-class people in this world were very low, almost equivalent to the Middle Ages, which provided a fertile ground for the existence of the belief in Chaos Gods! In such a situation, the Chaos Gods only needed to promise a few benefits to bewitch the masses!

Chapter 34 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio As a visitor from the 21st century, Peter regarded deities more as a traditional cultural belief, rather than really worshiping any particular god. Even if there were gods in this world that he had transmigrated to. His thoughts were the same. However, he was genuinely interested in the beliefs of this world. Although he was a wizard in the Wizard Tower controlled by the Church of Light, Peter had never been to a church before. It just so happened that he had the rare opportunity to leave the Wizard Tower. So he decided to follow these people to see what the church of the Goddess of Earth looks like! Anyway, they were all in the same industry. It was no big deal to go over together. Just like that, Peter followed them. Soon, they arrived at a city. This was not a big city. However, there were still many people on the streets because this was the only city within 100 kilometers. Therefore, if the nearby villagers wanted to enter the city, they had to come here. When they arrived at their destination, Peter looked around and immediately saw where the church was located. It was situated in the most central area of the city. It was a towering and spacious building! After entering the city, many people dispersed and walked in different directions. They went to do their own things. However, there were still some people who had the same destination as Peter. They were all heading towards the church of the Goddess of Earth. Peter came to the door of the church and noticed that there were already many people gathered there. Those people were all believers. At this moment, they were all kneeling on the ground with devout expressions on their faces. The believers who had come with Peter immediately knelt down and showed the same profound devotion. Only Peter remained standing. At this moment, he just stood quietly at the side and watched. In the middle of the crowd stood a wizard. That wizard should be the person in charge of this church. He glanced at the people kneeling on the ground. His eyes were as calm as water as if he did not take these people seriously at all. The wizard was reciting the Holy Book of the Goddess of Earth. All the believers listened very attentively. After he finished chanting, the wizard proclaimed loudly, ¡°May the blessings of the gods be as vast as the sea. If you have any needs, speak them out. The deities will fulfill them for you!¡± At this moment, all the believers erupted with excitement. ¡°Lord Wizard, I hope that the deities can cure my leg disease. Is that possible?¡± ¡°I hope the crops will be plentiful this year!¡± They knelt in front of the wizards and expressed various requests. Peter watched silently from the side. He was in a very bad mood. These villagers seemed to have no other aspirations in life, but they could only find solace y resorting to this kind of method. Peter listened for a while and noticed that many people here prayed for themselves or their family member¡¯s illnesses to be cured. But even so, Peter believed that their dream was impossible to achieve. After all, even magic couldn¡¯t do such a miraculous thing against common sense! Otherwise, there would be no patients in this world! However, what happened next surprised Peter greatly. The wizard took out something from a box beside him. He distributed the items to everyone present. These things were small bottles. It looked like a medicine bottle. Because Peter could smell that when the small bottle was opened, it emitted a very strong medicinal fragrance! The people present immediately consumed the contents of the bottle as if they had found a treasure. Instantly, the injuries of those who drank the potion healed at a speed visible to the naked eye! Peter was dumbfounded! How could this be? He found it unbelievable! After all, he had read a lot of books related to pharmaceutics in the Wizard Tower. Even with the support of magic, potions could only speed up the recovery of injuries. It was impossible to heal injuries so quickly. The books in the Wizard Tower explicitly stated that only the Chaos Gods could achieve such feats! Without exception! Seeing this, Peter quickly had a thought. Could it be that the wizard of the Church of Goddess of Earth was actually a believer in Chaos Gods? Of course, he did not suspect that the Goddess of Earth was a Chaos God. This was because the Goddess of Earth was clearly one of the seven Orthodox Gods. She was an affiliated god of the God of Light and also his wife. However, this wizard might degenerate and become a Dark Wizard! And the potion that could allow people to recover so quickly was obtained through black magic! Thinking of this, Peter thought that he might have discovered something extraordinary. Moreover, he did not intend to give up just like that. Since he had discovered the abnormality, Peter felt that he had the obligation to figure out the problem. After all, he was also a wizard from the Wizard Tower! At the thought of this. Peter continued to observe for a while. Through his observation, he noticed that it seemed like any illness could be treated. There were all kinds of patients in this place, but without exception, as long as they drank this potion, the pain in their bodies would disappear on the spot! Even broken and fractured bones could be healed! This was really too magical! Peter thought for a while and felt that he could come here at night to investigate the situation. Very quickly. When night fell. A figure came near the church. It was Peter. The reason why Peter dared to sneak into the church to investigate was that he possessed his unique ability, the Invisibility Spell! Moreover, Peter¡¯s Invisibility Spell had also been upgraded to the maximum level. As long as Peter did not take the initiative to attack the enemy, ordinary people would not be able to discover him at all. With this advantage, Peter planned to sneak in to see what secrets were hidden in this place! And so, Peter quickly entered the church. As soon as he entered the church, he found two people standing in the hall. One of them was the wizard he had seen during the day, and the other was a man with a pale face. The man was incredibly handsome but had a deathly pale face. He did not look like a normal person at all. With just a glance, Peter was deeply attracted! He seemed to have an idea of who the man might be. Blood Clan! This clergy of the Church of the Goddess of Earth was actually mingling with the Blood Clan! Peter¡¯s heart trembled. He quickly pieced many things together, as if he knew what those magical potions were! If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know via our discord so we can fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 35 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Then, through observation, Peter verified his guess. The Blood clan was a race that excelled at refining all kinds of potions. They could always refine all kinds of potions with miraculous effects. For example, these. A potion that could rapidly heal injuries. It sounded very powerful. But in fact, this kind of potion was actually harmful. This was because the method they used to heal people¡¯s injuries was not the magical aspect of the potion itself, but by over-drafting the person¡¯s life! This wizard was actually making a deal with the Blood clan. The potion was provided by the Blood clan, and this wizard was using his identity as a clergy of the Church of the Goddess of Earth to deceive the people and amass wealth! At this moment, they were sharing the money in the church. The potion was free. The treatment of believers¡¯ illnesses was also free. However, once the believers consumed the potion, they would become more reliant on the so-called miracles. At that time, they would willingly hand over all kinds of wealth. This was also how they amassed wealth! They were indeed a group of people with ulterior motives! After figuring out their true nature, Peter felt a surge of anger and desired nothing more than to annihilate these individuals However, Peter quickly dismissed the idea. He believed that directly confronting and defeating these two individuals might provide momentary satisfaction and alleviate his resentment, but it wouldn¡¯t completely resolve the problem. Peter thought for a while and changed his mind. ¡­ The next morning, Peter disguised himself and pretended to be a believer. He came to the door of the church. At this moment, many people had gathered there. They were all desperately pleading with the wizard to cure their illnesses. The wizard patiently treated them, and everything seemed normal. Finally, it was Peter¡¯s turn. Peter imitated those patients and begged for a bottle of medicine. However, he did not drink it. Instead, he took out something from his pocket. It was a withered plant. He opened the bottle and poured the potion on the plant. ¡°Everyone, please take a look!¡± Then, Peter shouted at the people. In fact, when Peter took this action, everyone¡¯s attention turned to him. Because Peter¡¯s behavior was truly bewildering. After they obtained this potion, they would cherish it very much and drink it all without wasting a drop. However, Peter poured it on a plant. This was really too wasteful! When Peter called out to the crowd, more people gathered. Everyone wanted to see what Peter was doing. However, what happened next astonished them all. The withered plant suddenly burst with vitality in an instant. Its withered yellow color receded, gradually replaced with a layer of emerald green. It quickly regained boundless vitality! ¡°This potion is truly miraculous. It can even heal withered plants!¡± ¡°Yeah, as expected of the miracle of the Goddess of Earth. It¡¯s too magical!¡± When the believers witnessed this situation, the believers exclaimed in admiration. However, just as their praises subsided, the once vibrant plant withered again. Moreover, the speed of withering was much faster than before! Instantly, everyone was shocked. They had no idea what was going on. They all looked at Peter and then at the wizard standing nearby, their faces full of doubt. Peter also noticed that the wizard¡¯s expression had turned extremely unpleasant. It seemed that the wizard had already guessed that Peter had seen through his trick. Peter no longer concealed his intentions and directly addressed the crowd, ¡°As you can see, although this potion can temporarily heal your injuries, it is actually achieved by depleting your vitality!¡± Peter¡¯s words instantly sparked intense discussion among the crowd. Some people didn¡¯t believe what he said. After all, everyone¡¯s illness had indeed been cured. But soon, another person spoke up, ¡°Speaking of which, after my illness was cured, I felt that my body seemed to have become weaker in a few days. I asked the wizard what was going on, but they did not give me an answer¡­¡± ¡°Me too, me too. I thought it was a problem with my body!¡± After the first person spoke, many others followed suit. What they said also proved that Peter was right in a sense. More and more people spoke up and expressed various issues they experienced. This indeed raised more doubts among the crowd! In fact, for ordinary people in this era, it was normal for them to have all kinds of illnesses on their bodies and not be able to get treatment in time. After all, not everyone had that condition! Moreover, most ordinary people were very poor and could not afford medical treatment. Therefore, to them. If some problems appeared on their bodies, it would not attract their attention. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that many people were speaking up, they wouldn¡¯t have paid much attention to such a concentrated outburst. Therefore, everyone looked at the wizard. They hoped to get an answer from him! The expression on the wizard¡¯s face became unpleasant at this moment. It was as if anger was about to spew out from his eyes! At this moment, Peter also looked at him. ¡°So, Lord Wizard, do you have any explanation for this matter?¡± A smile appeared on his face. ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡± The wizard clearly didn¡¯t want to talk nonsense with Peter. At this moment, he let out a furious roar. Then, powerful magic appeared in his hand, and a flame shot out toward Peter! Almost at the same time, another figure rushed out from the other side. It was the Blood clan! But Peter was fearless. Because Peter had roughly figured out their strength last night. This wizard was an Intermediate Level 3 Wizard, and the Blood clan was a Baron level. They were both relatively weak opponents! Peter waved his hand, and the Soul Flame instantly swept out. Boom! Both of them screamed. Shortly after, they fell from the sky! Their souls had been injured by Peter and they no longer had the ability to fight! Peter wanted to kill them, but on second thought, he decided to leave them at the entrance of the Wizard Tower. He felt that there was no need for him to stay in the Wizard Tower in the future. It was good to wander around outside and capture people everywhere to be imprisoned in the Wizard Tower. Anyway, he could get rewards for this. As long as he didn¡¯t expose that he was the one who had captured these people, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem!

Chapter 36 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After settling this matter, Peter left the place. He didn¡¯t care how the people in the Wizard Tower would feel when they saw two unconscious people at the entrance, because Peter had never intended to expose his identity. Next, he planned to go back to his hometown to take a look. The Wizard Tower where Peter resided was very close to the border of the kingdom, and his hometown was also situated in the border area of the kingdom. The distance between the two was not too far. With Peter¡¯s current strength, he quickly arrived at his hometown village with the help of the Wings of Gale. However, he did not use his Wings of Gale to fly in directly. Instead, he landed in the forest some distance away from the village and walked into the village. ¡°You are¡­¡± ¡°Peter?¡± When Peter came to the village entrance, he saw a person walking towards him. Peter immediately frowned. He looked at that person. With just one glance, Peter recognized him. That person was Uncle Ham, who lived next to his family! ¡°Uncle Ham!¡± Peter greeted him with a smile. ¡°Peter, why are you back? If I remember correctly, you should be working in the Wizard Tower now, right? Could it be¡­¡± Uncle Ham was very talkative. He reached out and patted Peter¡¯s shoulder, bombarding him with numerous questions, which made Peter unsure of how to answer for a moment. From Uncle Ham¡¯s expression, Peter also knew that Uncle Ham suspected that he had not successfully entered the Wizard Tower. That¡¯s why Peter had no choice but to come back. ¡°Uncle Ham, look, I¡¯m wearing the Wizard Tower¡¯s uniform. I¡¯m already a Junior Wizard!¡± Peter said to Uncle Ham with a smile. Uncle Ham, who was about to say more, trembled slightly and soon froze on the spot. He looked at Peter and found that he was indeed wearing the Wizard Tower¡¯s uniform. At this moment, his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. ¡°Well done, kid, you¡¯re really something! Looks like you didn¡¯t disappoint your father. You really entered the Wizard Tower!¡± Uncle Ham once again revealed a joyful expression. ¡°I came back on vacation this time.¡± Peter said with a smile. At the same time, he pointed in the direction of the village. ¡°Okay, since you¡¯re back, you can stay in the village for a few more days. You can come to my house for a meal.¡± Uncle Ham was very enthusiastic. At this moment, he led Peter to the village as he spoke. As they got closer to the village, Peter was surprised to find that the village had changed a lot. High walls made of mud, boulders, and sharp wooden spikes had been constructed around the outskirts of the village. It looked like a fortification used for defense. It was as if they were trying to defend against something! Seeing this scene, Peter was puzzled. ¡°Uncle Ham, what is going on?¡± Peter was filled with curiosity. He knew that although the village he lived in was at the border area of the kingdom, it was relatively peaceful. There had never been a dangerous situation. Even wild beasts attacked in the village were very rare! In Peter¡¯s memory, there had never been such a situation where high walls were built to defend against something. Therefore, Peter was very confused when he saw the scene in front of him. He had doubts in his mind, so he asked a question. ¡°Well, about this¡­¡± Uncle Ham¡¯s expression noticeably turned unpleasant. Peter noticed his abnormality. However, he also realized that for some reason, Uncle Ham was unwilling to disclose the matter. ¡°Uncle Ham, if you encounter any trouble, perhaps I can help you. I¡¯m already a wizard now, I can help you!¡± Peter replied. He was now an Intermediate Wizard, and he still had a lot of max-level magics. Even if he didn¡¯t use black magic, he was still a relatively powerful person. As long as he didn¡¯t encounter any Advanced Level Wizards, he could deal with all kinds of problems! Moreover, this was the village he used to live in. Peter did not have to deliberately hide his strength in front of these villagers. Hearing Peter¡¯s repeated emphasis, Uncle Ham finally sighed. ¡°Sigh, alright. Since you have such intentions, I¡¯ll tell you¡­¡± Uncle Ham was finally persuaded by Peter. Next, he told Peter what had happened in the village. What he said shocked Peter greatly. Because¡­ Werewolves actually appeared in this village! That¡¯s right, werewolves! According to Uncle Ham. Werewolves appeared a week ago. In the beginning, it only stole chickens, cattle, sheep, and other livestock in the village. However, it didn¡¯t take long before they started to attack people. That night, Grandma Susan¡¯s grandson was attacked. If it weren¡¯t for a few strong men from the village passing by, she would have lost her grandson. It was only then that people realized that the creature that attacked the livestock was a werewolf! Peter knew. Magic and all kinds of magical creatures existed in this world. Moreover, the people knew this too. However, for the people, those magical creatures were often very far away from them. They were things that they rarely encountered in their daily lives. However, this did not mean that they would not encounter magical creatures like werewolves. Sometimes, cases like werewolf attacks would also happen. It seemed that this village was unlucky. They were attacked by werewolves! Seeing this, Peter said to Uncle Ham, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll definitely help you deal with the Werewolves.¡± ¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°I must tell everyone the good news!¡± Uncle Ham clapped his hands happily. It could be seen that he was genuinely thrilled, to the point that even his footsteps were a little cheerful. He returned to the village. The other villagers also saw Peter¡¯s return. They were all very curious. They did not know why Peter had returned. They all expressed their concern! Peter also greeted everyone. Moreover, Uncle Ham also told them that Peter was going to help them catch the werewolf! This really made them happy! Therefore, everyone was very excited and could not wait for Peter to help them capture the werewolf. This way, they would be able to solve their biggest problem! ¡°Peter, when do you plan to take action?¡± ¡°Do you need my help? I¡¯ve fought with that werewolf before. I believe I can be of assistance. I¡¯m a very experienced person!¡± The villagers spoke up one after another.

Chapter 37 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio One of the strong men was the person who had previously fought with the werewolves and saved Grandma Susan¡¯s grandson from the werewolves. His name was Beck, a very robust young man in the village. He was a few years older than Peter. Seeing Beck take the initiative to stand up, some others followed suit. They were all the ones who had rescued others from the werewolves alongside Beck. Therefore, they all volunteered eagerly! Peter actually didn¡¯t intend to let them help. Because Peter believed that he could handle this on his own. However, he couldn¡¯t resist the enthusiasm of everyone! Besides, after careful consideration, Peter thought it might not be too difficult to accept their help. He would mainly deal with the werewolves, while they could do something within their abilities. If they worked together, they might achieve unexpected results! Thinking of this, Peter finally nodded. ¡°Alright then. Since that¡¯s the case, you guys can join me in dealing with the werewolves. It just so happens that I need to set up some traps. You guys can help!¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Beck was very happy. Then, under Peter¡¯s arrangement, all of them began to take action. First of all, traps were dug in the village specifically designed to capture the werewolves. There were also some other things that were specially used to deal with the werewolves. Peter had once read books about werewolves in the library of the Wizard Tower. Therefore, he knew the habits of werewolves and knew how to deal with them! After a while. They had set everything up. Next, they awaited the arrival of the night! ¡­ The night grew deeper and quiet. The entire village fell into silence. Peter instructed the villagers to hide to avoid being discovered by the werewolves, while he led some young adults to spread out throughout the village. This would allow them to detect traces of the werewolves as soon as possible. As soon as the werewolf appeared, Peter would immediately launch an attack! This was what Peter had in mind. However, whether the werewolves would fall for the trap remained uncertain. In the following period of time. The entire village was extremely quiet. It was as if the entire village had fallen into a deep sleep. And so, some time passed. Peter still hadn¡¯t noticed the presence of the werewolves! This made him feel somewhat puzzled. Had the werewolves already sensed their actions and left this place? Peter thought so. However, in the next second, he suddenly heard a sound not far away. Peter¡¯s hearing was much more sensitive than that of an average person! Therefore, he could sense the abnormality at a glance. Looking in the direction of the voice, Peter noticed that another black shadow was faintly flashing in that place. The black shadow appeared to be huge which looked like a huge calf. It looked similar to humans in terms of appearance, but Peter knew that it was not a human, but a werewolf. Because it had very thick, dense fur on its body, Peter could see the abnormality at a glance! ¡°It has finally appeared!¡± Peter felt a surge of joy to see the werewolf appear. It seemed that this meant that he would be able to capture the werewolf soon. He glanced at Beck beside him. Beck understood his intentions and immediately acted according to Peter¡¯s previous arrangements. Shua! Immediately after, the others followed suit. They were very fast, and in a short while, they had already arrived at the pre-set positions. As for Peter. He did not take any action at first. However, when everyone had taken their positions, Peter finally sprang into action. He immediately rushed toward the werewolf. When facing the werewolf, Peter did not hide at all. Instead, he directly displayed his strongest strength. In the central area of the village, Peter and the others released some killed chickens. The smell of blood attracted the werewolves. At this moment, the werewolf was feasting on the chicken meat. This made Peter think that the intelligence of the wolf was just so-so. It was not as high as he had expected. But no matter what. No matter how low a werewolf¡¯s intelligence was, it would still sense that someone was charging toward it. Especially when Peter approached! The werewolf suddenly looked up. Soon, it met Peter¡¯s eyes. At this moment, Peter smelled an even stronger scent of blood! The bloody scent filled the air. Immediately after, the werewolf expected great danger. It roared in anger and waved its claws to attack Peter! Boom! The werewolf¡¯s attack was very fierce as if it did not intend to spare Peter. But Peter was prepared. He sneered and cast the Wind Blade Spell! The powerful Wind Blade Spell instantly cut off the werewolf¡¯s claws! Moreover, with the help of the Wings of the Gale, Peter nimbly soared into the air! Many people present were dumbfounded. They would never have thought that Peter would become so powerful after only a few months in the Wizard Tower! His proficiency in magic had reached an incredible level! Initially, the villagers did not think that Peter had the ability to help them deal with the werewolves, but now it seemed that they had underestimated him. Peter¡¯s strength was enough to deal with the werewolf! Boom! There was a loud bang. The werewolf realized that the person in front of him was not easy to deal with. Hence, it immediately changed its direction and prepared to escape. After all, the werewolf was not a fool. It would not continue to fight Peter when it was obviously not his match. Moreover, the werewolf was very fast. It thought that it had the ability to get rid of Peter¡¯s pursuit as soon as possible! But in reality. The result was not the same! Peter used the Wings of the Gale, and he could increase his speed to a very fast level. No matter how powerful the werewolf was, it couldn¡¯t avoid Peter¡¯s pursuit. Moreover, Peter was deliberately attracting the werewolf to a certain location. The werewolf obviously didn¡¯t realize it. All of its escape routes were carried out according to Peter¡¯s plan! Very quickly. Peter forced it into a corner. The werewolf was just about to continue running, but its feet were empty and it fell into a huge pit! Boom! Immediately after, Beck and the others, who had been hiding in the dark, pulled down the rope. Boulders fell from above and smashed onto the werewolf¡¯s body heavily. This sudden attack really stunned the werewolf. It let out a miserable cry and desperately tried to struggle, but unfortunately, it could not break free at all! Peter also rushed in front of the werewolf. He waved his hand and a fireball shot out, hitting the werewolf¡¯s body! The raging flames burned the werewolf in extreme pain!

Chapter 38 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio However, Peter did not kill the werewolf. Under the burning flames, the werewolf was soon seriously injured. Peter waved his hand again, and the flames on the werewolf¡¯s body completely disappeared. However, at this time, the werewolf was also on the verge of death. ¡°Peter, you¡¯re really something!¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for your help, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to capture this werewolf so easily!¡± Beck and the others were very excited when they saw this. They kept praising Peter. Peter, on the other hand, smiled and did not answer with much pride. ¡°No, this is the result of our joint efforts. Without you guys, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to trap this werewolf so easily!¡± Everyone wanted to say something, but Peter continued, ¡°Alright, we haven¡¯t finished what we¡¯re doing yet. The most important thing for us now is to tie up this werewolf!¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we just kill it?¡± Beck asked curiously. ¡°Of course not!¡± Peter replied, ¡°Because we don¡¯t know if this werewolf has any special abilities for the time being. It¡¯s not good to kill it rashly!¡± Beck and the others listened to Pter¡¯s words, but they were confused. They did not understand what Peter meant. But they also knew that Peter was from the Wizard Tower. Compared to them, Peter obviously had more experience in this. Therefore, everyone still chose to trust Peter. Next. Everyone was in a flurry as they dragged the werewolf out of the deep pit and tied it up with iron chains! After doing all this, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. But at this moment, Peter suddenly discovered a problem. Something fell from the werewolf¡¯s body! It was a cloth bag! This cloth bag did not look big, but there was a storage space inside. It could be used to store people or other things. Peter knew that this was a kind of magical item. Many wizards or people with magic had such items. Unfortunately, Peter didn¡¯t have one yet. Seeing this situation, he didn¡¯t hesitate and directly confiscated the werewolf¡¯s bag. Moreover, Peter was still puzzled. As a werewolf, it was very abnormal for it to have such a bag. Werewolves were a type of barbaric magical creature. They had great brute force, but they were not good at making magical items. Generally speaking, werewolves should not have magical items! But now, this werewolf had such a magical item. This was too unusual! Therefore, Peter looked at the werewolf with a puzzled face and went straight to it with the bag in hand. ¡°Tell me, where did you get this thing?¡± Peter looked at it very seriously. However, when the werewolf heard Peter¡¯s words, it only snorted coldly and did not have the intention to answer. Peter could tell from its reaction. It understood his words! Since that was the case, there was no need for him to be polite with it! Peter used the Wind Blade Spell and cut the werewolf¡¯s body bit by bit, which quickly turned the werewolf into a bloody mess! Finally, Peter asked again, ¡°Are you willing to tell me now?!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll¡­¡± The werewolf finally spoke. It seemed that it was not as strong as Peter had imagined. Werewolves¡¯ psychological defenses were easily breached! ¡°Then tell me, where did you get this thing?¡± Peter questioned again. ¡°My master gave it to me¡­¡± The werewolf answered. ¡°Master?¡± Peter found it strange. Generally speaking, werewolves were very arrogant and magical creatures. They would not seek themselves a master. However, the werewolf in front of him seemed to be different! It clearly had a master. Peter found it very interesting. After thinking for a moment, he asked the werewolf, ¡°Who is your master?¡± The werewolf hesitated and replied, ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s a wizard, or in your human terms, a Dark Wizard.¡± ¡°Dark Wizard¡­¡± Peter¡¯s thought turned and seemed to understand something. He felt that if there really was a Dark Wizard here, then the problem belonged to a troublesome category. This meant that the werewolf wasn¡¯t the mastermind, but rather the Dark WIzard behind it was the true source of the problem. If the Dark Wizard wasn¡¯t eliminated, then he could use more powerful magical creatures to cause havoc. Therefore, even if it was for the safety of the majority, Peter had to eliminate the Dark Wizard. ¡°Then where is your master? How strong is his strength?¡± Peter asked two more questions. No matter what, if he wanted to figure out the situation behind this werewolf, these two questions were almost indispensable. The werewolf wanted to conceal it as well. However, it found that if it wanted to hide, Peter would definitely not let him off. Therefore, in front of Peter, it had no resistance at all. It could only choose to comply with Peter¡¯s path. After understanding this point, the werewolf could only tell Peter about its master. ¡°Very good!¡± Peter was very satisfied with the werewolf¡¯s performance. He told the villagers to keep an eye on the werewolf while he left the place and ran towards an abandoned castle in the nearby forest. His speed was still very fast. Soon, he arrived at his destination. The abandoned castle looked rather dilapidated. No one had stayed here for a long time. But Peter knew. This should be where the master of the werewolf was. Therefore, Peter did not stop. Instead, he directly entered the castle. Peter realized. In this castle, there was a room with a candle burning. Outside the room, Peter used the Invisibility Spell to hide his figure and looked inside. With just a glance, Peter discovered that there was indeed a mysterious figure in a black robe among them. The figure was sitting at a table, and no one knew what he was doing. It seemed that this guy was the master of the werewolf, the Dark Wizard! Peter smiled coldly. Peter used his Invisibility Spell, he silently approached the person from behind. At the same time, he waved his hand. A wind blade stabbed out fiercely! Pfft! The Dark Wizard was caught off guard and was stabbed by Peter on the spot! The Dark Wizard screamed in pain, but he did not die. Peter found that the guy¡¯s body had instantly shattered into countless pieces and disappeared in front of him in a short while!

Chapter 39 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Did you really think you could sneak up on me without me noticing?¡± ¡°Let me remind you, the Invisibility Spell is not omnipotent. There are still some people in this world who are very good in Detection Spell and can easily discover people who are hiding through Invisibility Spell!¡± At this moment. A gloomy voice came from behind Peter. The voice sounded eerie as if it was a ghost. It immediately had a great impact on Peter. Peter turned to look behind him. However, what awaited him was a sharp wind blade! Whoosh! The wind blade was extremely powerful and arrived in front of Peter in an instant. The wildly dancing wind blades seemed to cut Peter¡¯s clothes into countless pieces in an instant! Peter felt the approaching aura, but he showed no sign of fear. He cast Wings of the Gale and immediately dodged the attack. At the same time, he also used Wind Blade Spell to counterattack. The Wind Blade Spell of both collided in the air. Countless wind blades intersected, wreaking havoc in the entire room. However, the Dark Wizard, who had been self-satisfied just a second ago, suddenly felt that something was amiss. Peter¡¯s strength seemed to be far beyond his imagination! That¡¯s right! It was indeed far beyond his imagination! After all, Peter had already elevated his Wind Blade Spell to its maximum level. It was more than enough to deal with this guy! ¡°You, how could you?¡± The Dark Wizard clearly sensed that something was wrong. But then he noticed that Peter consecutively unleashed powerful attacks. Each attack landed heavily on his body, causing the Dark Wizard to experience intense pain in an instant. The Dark Wizard wanted to counterattack, but Peter did not give him the chance! Soul Flame burst forth! An even more intense pain instantly engulfed the Dark Wizard¡¯s entire body. Bang! The Dark Wizard could not take it anymore. With a muffled thud, he fell heavily to the ground. Similarly, Peter did not kill him. At this moment, Peter only looked at the Dark Wizard with a calm expression, as if he was a condescending victor. ¡°You, you actually know black magic!¡± The Dark Wizard fell to the ground and looked at Peter with a painful expression. ¡°That¡¯s right, I know black magic. After all, no one has stipulated that you¡¯re the only one in this world who can learn black magic!¡± Peter smiled slightly. Before coming out to capture the werewolf, Peter had especially changed his attire from the Wizard Tower and made himself appear as an ordinary person who had mastered black magic. As a result, the Dark Wizard was furious when he saw this. He thought that this was simply an ordinary case of a black against black! ¡°No matter what, you no longer have the ability to fight. Next, just obediently surrender!¡± Peter sneered. Just like the werewolf, Peter also apprehended him. He brought the Dark Wizard back to the village, and the people in the village were filled with excitement. Because it was with Peter¡¯s help that they were able to completely solve such a big problem. Otherwise¡­ They wouldn¡¯t know what kind of danger their village was going to encounter! ¡°Alright, everyone. Since the trouble here has been solved, I should leave. I¡¯ll come back when I have my next vacation!¡± Peter said to the villagers. ¡°Peter, are you leaving so soon? If only you could stay in the village for a little longer!¡± Beck said regretfully. He witnessed Peter¡¯s power and was very eager to learn magic like Peter. However, he did not have the opportunity that Peter had. Therefore, he could only show a look of envy. As for Peter, he gave Beck a faint smile and said, ¡°Beck, don¡¯t worry. When I come back on my next vacation, I will definitely teach you some basic magic!¡± Peter could tell what Beck was thinking at a glance. ¡°Really?¡± Beck immediately revealed a very excited expression. ¡°Of course it¡¯s true. I keep my word!¡± ¡°Not only Beck, if anyone else wants to learn magic, I can teach you too. This way, you¡¯ll be able to handle similar problems on your own next time.¡± Peter replied with a smile. With Peter¡¯s words, the young men present were very happy. After putting the werewolf and Dark Wizards into the bags, Peter brought them to the Wizard Tower and threw them at the entrance. In this way, the people of the Wizard Tower would see two more people lying at the doorstep the next morning. Peter felt that this was very interesting! After solving this matter, Peter was not in a hurry to return to the Wizard Tower. He played outside for the whole day. It wasn¡¯t until the evening, which was the last day of the holiday, that he finally returned to the Wizard Tower. Everyone was delighted to see Peter return. This vacation made Peter think about many things. If he stayed in the Wizard Tower all the time, there would definitely be many inconveniences. Therefore, he had something to tell the Inspector General. Peter came to the Inspector General¡¯s room. ¡°Inspector General, I want to buy a property in a nearby city. This way, I can live in my own house.¡± Peter straightforwardly expressed his thoughts to the Inspector General. After Alfred heard this, he took a careful look at Peter, as if he wanted to see through Peter. After a moment of silence, the Inspector General agreed to Peter¡¯s request. ¡°Alright, people of your level can already buy their own property in the nearby cities!¡± Hearing this, Peter¡¯s worried heart finally relaxed. He initially thought that his request would be denied. From the looks of it, the Inspector General wasn¡¯t that old-fashioned! ¡­ The next few days were very peaceful, and nothing unusual happened. Peter had raised his power to an Intermediate Level 5 Wizard! Now, Peter had obviously become much stronger than before. In addition to his maxed-out magic, Peter felt that even an ordinary Advanced Wizard was no match for him! Such strength was considered relatively powerful in any place. Therefore, Peter was very satisfied with his strength. Meanwhile, the Wizard Tower and the Templar Knights were puzzled. Why were there so many monsters and Dark Wizards that had been subdued recently? They investigated, but they had no idea who had left the evil forces at their doorstep. This made them very confused, but Peter secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Chapter 40 Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio On this day, the Inspector General called Peter over. Peter knew that there must be some task for him to do, so he didn¡¯t say a word. He went straight to the Inspector General¡¯s office and waited for his instructions. ¡°Peter, interrogate the Earl of the Blood clan who is imprisoned on the fifth floor today. The main question is what plans the Blood clan has internally.¡± Alfred immediately said. As soon as these words were spoken, Peter¡¯s heart suddenly trembled. For a moment, he seemed to have realized something. Peter couldn¡¯t help but raise his vigilance. Because he was still more or less vigilant in his heart. The Blood clan had been imprisoned in the underground area for a long time, and there had never been any intention of interrogating him. But what was going on today? Why suddenly decide to interrogate him? Could it be that the higher-ups had some sort of plan? At this moment. Many thoughts suddenly surfaced in Peter¡¯s mind. However, no matter what he thought in his mind. Now, he had to earnestly complete the tasks assigned by the higher-ups. ¡°Alright.¡± Peter responded without thinking and then went to the fifth underground floor. This was the first time Peter had come here in his physical form. To be honest, if he hadn¡¯t previously visited this place in the form of a spirit body, Peter would have been shocked when he saw the layout of the fifth floor. Because this was indeed a very luxurious and elegant place. Even though Peter had come here once before, he was still surprised. He wasn¡¯t sure why this place was decorated so luxuriously. Was it all because a member of the Blood clan resided here? However, Peter couldn¡¯t afford to worry about such things now. His primary focus was to deal with the task at hand. Therefore, Peter went straight to the fifth underground floor. Here, he met the Earl of the Blood clan. ¡°Let¡¯s see who¡¯s here!¡± The Earl of the Blood clan sneered when he saw Peter. It was as if he had already guessed what was happening. When Peter saw him, he did not waste any word and straightforwardly said, ¡°Come with me. You¡¯re going to be interrogated today!¡± As he spoke, Peter used the power of the seal to leave with the Earl of the Blood Clan. In this underground chamber, other than the Blood clan¡¯s Earl, his servant was also there. The servant looked very displeased. Seeing that Peter was about to take the Blood Clan¡¯s Earl away, he immediately rushed over. ¡°Stop!¡± Obviously, he didn¡¯t want Peter to take him away. However, Peter simply waved his hand lightly, and the servant was trapped by an invisible force, instantly unable to move. This was Peter¡¯s absolute advantage over him! Such a person had no ability to resist in front of Peter! As for Peter, he looked nonchalant as if he did not take the servant seriously at all! That¡¯s how it was. Peter brought the Blood clan¡¯s Earl to the interrogation room. After everything was set up, Peter asked, ¡°Tell me, what plans does your Blood clan have?¡± In fact, Peter did not know why Inspector General Alfred would ask him this question. Could it be that the Blood clan had some plans next? Peter suddenly had a lot of questions in his mind. However, he couldn¡¯t figure out what this meant. After all, Peter was just an ordinary Warden. It was normal for him to be unaware of certain matters concerning the higher-ups of the Wizard Tower. Therefore, all he could do was follow the Inspector General¡¯s instructions. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to tell you that we Blood clan has no plans. Even if we do, I wouldn¡¯t say anything. You can just wait for death.¡± However, looking at Peter¡¯s hatred, he did not intend to say anything at all. In front of Peter, the Earl of the Blood clan still looked very noble. It was as if everything was going within his plan! When Peter heard his words, he was almost certain that the Blood clan must have some unknown plan. But as for what the plan was. At least, Peter was unaware. The higher-ups of the Wizard Tower were surely unaware of the specifics as well. Therefore, they could only let Peter interrogate him. Furthermore, Alfred had specially instructed Peter in the beginning. If the other party refused to speak, then Peter could use the most terrifying punishment to deal with him. This was a privilege given to Peter by the Inspector General! The Inspector General¡¯s request was very simple. They must find out what the Blood clan members were up to at all costs! Since that was the case, it was much simpler for Peter. He immediately unleashed the Flame Spell! The powerful flames instantly engulfed the Earl of the Blood clan. It looked like he was going to burn the Blood clan¡¯s Earl to ashes on the spot! However, after the attack of the Flame Spell disappeared, the Blood clan¡¯s Earl appeared unscathed in front of Peter. Peter looked at his cold smile. Peter knew that ordinary methods were definitely useless against him. Since that was the case, he could only resort to more vicious methods! Peter sneered. Then, he continued to speak to the Earl of the Blood clan, ¡°Alright, since you¡¯re so arrogant, I can only use even more ruthless methods to deal with you!¡± Soul Flame! Peter no longer hid anything and immediately used black magic. Instantly, the Blood clan¡¯s Earl¡¯s expression changed. The Soul Flame was an extremely vicious dark magic. It could directly burn a person¡¯s soul. No matter what the opponent was, as long as they were a living being with a soul, they would be burned by the Soul Flame! Such an excruciating attack instantly caused the Earl of the Blood clan¡¯s expression to change drastically. He clearly realized the power of the Soul Flame. To the extent that this Earl of the Blood clan had already experienced tremendous pain! ¡°You, you actually know black magic?!¡± However, compared to the physical pain, what shocked him the most was the fact that Peter actually knew black magic! Then, he looked at Peter. However, there was still a faint smile on his face. The smile was obvious. He was mocking the Earl of the Blood clan. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s black magic. How is it? Are you feeling scared now? If you don¡¯t want your soul to be burned to ashes, then hurry up and tell me everything you know!¡± Peter looked at him seriously again. ¡°You want to know? Dream on!¡± However, the Blood clan¡¯s Earl still looked smug. After hearing his words, Peter¡¯s favorable impression of this Earl of the Blood clan instantly diminished.
