Chapter 97: Purchase

Wizard World, New Calendar, Year 1270, Mid-Autumn.

The ruler of the Underdark Treesea, more than 30 Wizards from the Shadow Tower, including the Wizard Master, met with misfortune while exploring the Pandora’s Maze, the secret realm, and were all annihilated.

The news was transmitted to Shadow Tower a few days later.

On the same day, Shadow Tower was besieged by the coalition of dozens of Wizard organizations from the Underdark Treesea, and was defeated by a third-circle spell.

At this point, Shadow Tower, which had ruled the Shadow Land for more than 600 years, handed over the Ruler’s Scepter, but their glory was gone.

Victory Day, Shadow Land.

On the Shadow Square, which had been turned into ruins, more than a thousand Wizards and Apprentices of Shadow Tower stood on one side of the square, and the coalition of Wizard organizations in the Shadow Land stood on the other side.

Witch Cassandra walked forward with the Ruler’s Scepter in her hand and handed it to the coalition.

As the representative of the Allied Forces, the Master of the Labyrinth Academy, Patrick, took the Ruler’s Scepter and raised it high. “From now on, the shadow is gone!”

“From today on, the shadow is gone!”

“From today on, the shadow is gone!”

The Allied Forces cried tears of joy and cheered loudly with tears in their eyes.

At this moment, everyone’s faces were full of smiles, as if they had finally endured the night and welcomed the dawn. They had parted ways and entered a glorious future.

Looking at this scene, Ender, who was standing beside Heath, whispered to Heath, “These idiots, do they really think that their good days have come?”

“The idiots have no idea what they have done. Soon, they will regret everything they have done now!”

Heath did not know whether they regretted it or not, but he still agreed with the first half of Ender’s sentence.

Shadow Tower was the overlord, but at the same time, it was also the order.

In the entire Underdark Treesea, other than Shadow Tower, who else had the qualifications and ability to take over and consolidate order and maintain the rules?

Heath looked up at the sky above him.

The bright and beautiful sunlight was indeed dazzling at this time, but it could be vaguely seen that there were even bigger dark clouds gathering over.

The failure of Shadow Tower would not be the end of the darkness.

It would only be the beginning of the darkness…

…

Half a month later, in the Shadow Tower.

In a corner of the Shadow Tower, Heath was saying goodbye to his familiar Apprentices.

“My god, Heath, is this true? Have you really decided to leave Shadow Tower?” Ender walked over and asked Heath.

Heath nodded. “Wizard Edith has approved it.”

After the war ended, the hundreds of resources in Shadow Tower were all taken away, leaving only a small piece of the Shadow Land.

With the amount of resources in Shadow Tower now, it was impossible for it to bear the nurturing of more than a thousand Apprentices. Therefore, the Wizards issued a notice that the Apprentices could decide whether to stay or leave.

Heath pondered for a while and finally decided to leave.

After all, he had already extracted most of the resources available in Shadow Tower. It would be better for him to stay and fight for resources with the Apprentices.

Jessica asked, “Have you decided? Where are you going?”

Heath nodded and said, “I want to go to Strange Bug Forest first. I have a spell that I need to experiment with the bugs there.”

This decision had been made before the trial began.

Strange Bug Forest was the most eastern resource area of Shadow Tower. It was also the only area in Shadow Tower that he had not explored other than the secret realm.

At this time, Apprentice Arnold suddenly interrupted, “Speaking of spells, I remember that you have always been interested in spells. Do you want me to sell some spells to you before you leave, Apprentice Heath?”

Ender said, “Hey! Are you crazy? Do you want to be turned into a toad by a Wizard?”

Apprentices were forbidden to trade magic models privately. This was the rule!

Heath raised his eyebrows and asked, “Are you sure?”

He did not care. He was going to leave. If he went out, the world would be wide open. Shadow Tower, which could not take care of itself, would not come to him for such a trivial matter.

Arnold said, “It’s okay. Everyone is doing that now. Yesterday, Isaac learned the Illumination Spell from Stone, so it’s not a big deal.”

Jenny nodded and said, “Yes, I heard that many Apprentices are secretly exchanging spells. The Wizards are in seclusion to heal themselves, so they can’t control themselves. Even if they know, they probably won’t care.”

“After all, the spell bank has been moved away. If we Apprentices aren’t allowed to learn from each other, what should we do?”

After the war ended, the Allied Forces had a raid on Shadow Tower.

Spells, Wizard tools, materials, these guys who were like locusts crossing the border were really not polite at all. They had completely moved all the savings of Shadow Tower over the years. They wished they could dig three feet deep and move the entire Shadow Tower away.

Listening to the discussions of the Apprentices, Heath could not help but sigh.

It must be known that ‘Apprentices are forbidden to privately trade spell models’. This was one of the core rules of Shadow Tower that had existed since the beginning of the Tower’s existence. Even the Wizard organizations in the Underdark Treesea that followed the Shadow Tower’s development model had this rule.

Its status was equivalent to the ‘private property is sacred and inviolable’ on the Blue Star.

Now that even this core rule had been overturned, who knew how the Underdark Treesea would develop…

Sighing in his heart, Heath asked, “How many spells do you have? How much do you want to sell them for?”

Arnold hurriedly said, “I’ve learned three spells. They’re all fire spells. They’re Fireball, Flame Curse, and Flame Assault. They’re all low-level Apprentice spells, and they’re all fire elemental spells.”

“Now everyone is selling one for 15 Magic Stones. I’ll give you 10 Magic Stones. I spent 800 Magic Stones to buy one at the beginning.”

Things like spells did not require any material costs to pass through. Of course, they had to be monopolized in order to have value. Once the floodgates were opened, it would definitely not be worth much.

Heath said, “I’ve learned fireball. I want the other two.”

“How about this? I’ll give you 20 Magic Stones each. If there are others who want to sell spells, I’ll buy them all at this price.”

He had accumulated a lot of savings over the years. Not counting the materials he had accumulated, just the Magic Stones alone was more than 200,000. He would take this opportunity to harvest a wave of spells.

“Senior Heath, do you want the Wind Blade spell of the wind element?”

“Knowledge, knowledge?”

“And me, the Ice Arrow spell I learned here…”

…

Under the deliberate spread of Heath, the news that he was purchasing spells spread all at once. An endless stream of Apprentices came to him and sold him spells.

Heath did not refuse to accept anyone who came. As long as it was spells and knowledge that he did not master, he would buy them all.

Was he not afraid of being dragged by Wizards to set an example?

Right now, the Wizards of the Shadow Tower were either dead or running away. The few remaining Wizards were also seriously injured. At this time, they were in an important stage of recuperation, so they could not be distracted to deal with these miscellaneous matters.

As for the Law Enforcement Team of the former Tower… Wizard Slater who was in charge of managing the Law Enforcement Team was already missing, so the Law Enforcement Team was naturally dead in name.

The ones in charge of maintaining order in the Tower were a few official Apprentices.

With Heath’s current strength, he might not be afraid of anyone…

In short, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he did not take this opportunity to make a profit, how could he let himself down?

20 Magic Stones at the low Apprentice level, 50 Magic Stones at the intermediate Apprentice level, and 100 Magic Stones at the advanced Apprentice level…

Looking at the magic scrolls that were handed to him one by one, Heath was really… Although it was a little inappropriate to say that, he really felt that the collapse of Shadow Tower was not a bad thing…

It must be known that in the past, low-level Apprentice spells cost nearly a thousand Magic Stones, intermediate-level Apprentice spells cost at least thousands or even tens of thousands of Magic Stones, and advanced-level Apprentice spells cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Magic Stones.

These treasures, which were once priceless, were now as cheap as cabbages. It was really a windfall, okay?

However, what Heath did not know, the greater happiness was still waiting for him not far away…

In the afternoon, Heath was purchasing spells in the temporarily vacated hut.

Outside the hut, there was already a long line of Apprentices who had heard the news and came here to sell spells.

At this moment, an Apprentice in a white robe walked over from afar. The three-leaf wisdom grass on his chest explained his identity as an official Apprentice.

The crowd immediately burst into a commotion.

“Ah, it’s an official Apprentice!”

“He’s coming this way…”

“Could it be that he’s here to cause trouble…”

After all, it was against the rules. It was one thing to do it secretly, but it was still a little scary to do it openly. Now that they saw an official Apprentice coming over, they were all shocked.

However, the official Apprentice ignored them and walked straight into Heath’s room.

In the room, Heath had just finished purchasing a scroll. When he saw the official Apprentice who came in, he was secretly on guard.

Then, he greeted warmly, “Good day, Apprentice Daniel.”

The one who came in was none other than the Apprentice Daniel whom he had dealt with before.

In the face of Heath’s enthusiasm, Daniel’s expression was neither warm nor cold, making it hard to fathom. “Apprentice Heath.”

Seeing Daniel’s expression, Heath quickly guessed in his heart.

What was he here for? To find trouble? To enforce the rules? Would he make a move?

Just as Heath was guessing, Daniel spoke up.

He went straight to the point and asked, “I heard that you are purchasing spell models here. Is that so?”

He paused and did not wait for Heath to answer. He then said shockingly, “I want to know, do you accept series spells here?”

Heath, who was still quickly guessing Daniel’s intentions, was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Daniel, who had come looking for him, would bring him such explosive news.

Series spells, a complete set of spell knowledge to form a model.

This type of model is also known as —

Wizard-level spell!
