Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 548: Chapter 229: Bounties Are Still the Fastest Way to Make Money

This area is filled with a heavy yet exhilarating atmosphere of instability, where everyone understands that nothing is impossible in this place of forbidden knowledge.

“It’s said that a new target has appeared,” a long-bearded, seemingly old yet bright-eyed Old Wizard said softly.

He stood next to a few companions by the fire, flipping through the notebook and discussing recent important intelligence. “Recent Black Mage activities have been frequent, which isn’t a good sign.”

Another young Wizard raised the scroll in his hand, densely packed with information from Mist Forest.

“I’ve heard of a fierce battle between Elves and Black Mages recently in Mist Forest.”

“We are responsible for monitoring this area, and if there’s any opportunity, we must take action immediately!”

Just as the young Wizard finished speaking, an unknown shimmering light shadow appeared abruptly, causing a commotion.

This light shadow was a Soul Avatar condensed by David, immediately drawing everyone’s attention around.

In this peaceful yet turbulent town, people couldn’t help but stop and gaze at the dazzling and charming avatar like a shining star.

They immediately recognized it as a Soul Avatar, but this avatar was radiating Second Ring aura, making it hard to imagine how powerful its owner must be!

David’s Soul Avatar slowly landed in the center of the Wizard gathering point, and the surrounding Wizards immediately gathered with looks of curiosity and caution.

The light shadow emitting the Second Ring aura appeared especially mysterious in their eyes.

David clearly felt the attention from the surrounding Wizards, his expression extremely calm.

His Extraordinary Perception activated, quickly discovering the Wizard Alliance Branch location, and walked directly toward it.

“Hello, mighty Wizard, may I ask if there’s something you need?” a Witch inquired.

With a steady tone, David’s Soul Avatar said, “I have brought important information about the Black Mages.”

The Witch was momentarily stunned and quickly said, “Please wait, I need to consult the leader.”

After a while, a dignified and noble voice sounded, “Allow me to introduce myself, I am Alta, the head of the Wizard Alliance Alien Race Continent Branch.”

A tall, silver-haired Witch with piercing eyes came over, surrounded by a faint glow that seemed to release powerful Magic Power waves with each step.

Third Ring.

David made a judgment, “Alta Witch, I am here mainly to report important information about the Black Mages.”

“Please explain in detail.”

Alta Witch sat down, gazing at him from above.

She lightly raised her hand to signal, and a Sound Insulation Array appeared to prevent interference with the important conversation with the Soul Avatar.

David nodded, then said, “I have brought important information about the Black Mages, and I also have information on their corpses and a Fourth-Ring Bloodline Mage.”

“You have made it very clear,” Alta listened attentively, nodding from time to time. “However, this information needs verification.”

“Of course, that’s fine,” David replied.

“But before that, I need to ensure you can maintain secrecy to avoid attracting attention from other forces.”

Alta Witch frowned slightly, clearly surprised by his request.

But she quickly adjusted her expression, displaying the leadership demeanor. “I understand your concerns; we indeed need to maintain absolute secrecy.”

She waved her hand to summon a few Wizards, instructing them to maintain vigilance around the Array and ensure no one interferes with this important meeting.

Then, she turned to David, “Please tell me the information you have.”

“I discovered a group of Black Mages in Mist Forest performing a certain forbidden ritual.”

David began detailing, “These corpses are the Black Mages, and I learned about a Fourth-Ring Bloodline Mage who is the mastermind of this operation.”

Alta looked at the Black Mages David took out from the Space Ring, seriously recognizing them.

She quickly confirmed that these indeed are the wanted Black Mages, and pondered before asking, “What is the identity of this Fourth-Ring Bloodline Mage?”

“This Fourth-Ring Bloodline Mage is named Mikhail, a member of the Dark Council.”

“He is attempting to open the Abyss channel through a series of rituals to acquire stronger power,” David replied.

This intelligence naturally came from the Vampire Prince and those Black Mages.

“Very well,” Alta nodded, looking at a young man beside her.

“You are responsible for recording this information and preparing a related team action plan. Meanwhile, inform all members to closely monitor the activities in Mist Forest.”

Next, Alta Witch seriously listened, occasionally jotting down key details.

As the discussion deepened, she increasingly valued this news, “If this information is true, we will definitely hunt down this Fourth-Ring Bloodline Mage.”

“And to express our gratitude and reward, we will grant you fifty thousand Magic Crystals.”

Upon hearing this, David was shocked; he didn’t expect such a generous reward for hunting Black Mages.

Fifty thousand Magic Crystals, it would take the Lonely Whale Market a long time to earn such a sum, entirely unexpected fortune for him.

David’s Soul Avatar claimed the generous reward in Alta Witch’s office and then left directly.

Afterward, he secretly planned what to purchase, which was one of the main reasons he came to the Wizard gathering point.

Not long after, he used the Stealth Technique to hide his form and aura, arriving at a bustling area at the center of the Wizard gathering point, which was the lively market.

All around, various stalls displayed strange and shimmering items, including Ancient Scrolls, rare herbs, Magic Tools, and various precious materials.

The air was filled with a thick and mysterious aura, making people uncontrollably excited.

David first walked to a stall full of transparent bottles, labeled “Rare Alchemy Potions.”

This shop’s owner was an old but spirited Dwarf, seemingly adept at various Alchemy techniques, with bottles in hand sparkling enticingly.

“Welcome! Here we have Healing Potion, enhancing Physical Strength and Spiritual Power, various types. What do you need?”

“I need some High-tier Recovery Potions and Soul Enhancers,” David said.

He knew these potions could help him recover Energy and provide support at critical moments.

Of course, these potions were mainly prepared for the Elf Race.

Soon after, he might leave the Alien Race Continent, and before that, he needed to help the Elves continue to accumulate heritage.

The Dwarf nodded, quickly taking out several exquisite small bottles, “These two are our shop’s most popular products, each bottle priced at one hundred Magic Crystals.”

After some bargaining, David successfully purchased ten bottles of various potions, spending a total of one thousand Magic Crystals.

He put them into a small bag and continued to walk forward.

From the next few stalls, he also purchased several key materials required for deploying Advanced Magic Arrays, spending more than thirty thousand Magic Crystals in total.

Just as David was about to leave, he found an inconspicuous small stall in a corner of the market.

This stall appeared somewhat old, covered in dust, and surrounding customers seemed uninterested, business bleak.

The stall displayed a mix of strange items, including Ancient Scrolls, odd Magic Tools, and a few pieces of weakly glowing jewelry.

David was drawn by a gut feeling, gradually approaching and seeing a tightly sealed small wooden box, carved with peculiar and complex runes but without any Energy Waves.

This was an elderly yet sharp-eyed woman who smiled slightly, “What would you like?”
