The candidates returned to Mivela Town cursingly. Those who were not qualified to participate had already left, and even those who were removed from the first level were almost gone.

Buffy did not give a detailed explanation about the death of the invigilator in the second level.

This adventurer exam is a bit different from the past. Due to the emergence of spider monsters, the four examiners privately agreed to cooperate with "physical constitution" and "team collaboration". In this way, the examiner who was originally responsible for supervising "physical constitution" also threw his original responsibilities to Buffy on the grounds of old age and aging. With Pa'an's death, there was only one way to go before the other three invigilators - sending magical messengers to the headquarters far away in the Noin Empire.

"What will happen to the headquarters?" Eric was a little worried. It was hard to wait for the opportunity...

"Wait." Although Buffy was not as worried as Eric, he had no other way except waiting. He only hoped that the Holy Alliance would not make things difficult for him because of the death of the priest.

Although it is called the Adventure Guild, it is actually a huge organization composed of three different fields: "Mercenary Union", "Magic Association" and "Temple Alliance", which is commonly known as the three major guilds.

Because of the main focus of buying and selling information and killing, the Shadow Guild has been rejected by the Temple Alliance, while the Alchemy Academy was excluded because the Magic Association wanted to maintain its own position alone. Due to differences in the distribution of tasks and remuneration, the three major forces have been in a stalemate in recent years. Buffy, who has been sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, always wants to get a kick. Compared with the huge mission commission of the Adventure Guild, the guild has not been enough to watch it, and it is no wonder that the guild is quarreling inside.

This exam also caused fierce internal struggles, especially the Mercenary Union and the Magic Association, who were both fighting for the number of examiners. Finally, the Temple Alliance proposed that the Shadow Guild and the Alchemy Academy replace them for invigilating the exam, and they would neither compete meaninglessly nor have to worry about letting go. Therefore, the Shadow Guild, which has never been put on the table, came into contact with the exam that was described as a talent screening for the first time. Unexpectedly, problems arose when they participated in the invigilator for the first time.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

As soon as he returned to the Alchemy Academy, Victor received a call from his mentor.

[You are looking for me, mentor.]

He saluted respectfully, and Victor's indifferent expression made Fisher feel that his head began to hurt again.

"Tell me why I imprisoned the doctor Emma in my dormitory, and... she also cut off one of her fingers?" When I first discovered the female doctor, Fisherde's inner shock could not be described in words.

Ever since Victor returned to his hometown, he felt that the child had discovered some changes. Although it had not yet reached a very obvious point, it was enough to make him feel something was wrong.

[She wants to kill me.]

"What?"

[The woman and the killer in Buch Village are in the same group. In addition to the half-elves who play the killer, they have another companion, Vina of the Adventure Guild. These three people pretended to be Frost Wolf and took over the commission to assassinate me.]

This time, Fisher was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

[I tied that woman in the dormitory, just to lure the last person to take the bait. Baile Zaire visited Davao Village last night and took away Vina, who still refused to give up taking my life, which is enough to prove the authenticity of this matter.]

Fernandez, you did not disappoint me. You are still interested in Leah...

Fisher sighed and then became alert. He carefully recalled Victor's words just now, and a speculation sprouted in his mind.

"Victor, can you be..." You have already realized your identity?

His appearance remained unchanged at all, but those eyes and expressions... became so strange and so difficult to understand.

Fisher was still struggling about what kind of harm did the assassination of Buch Village and the death of Leya cause to his disciples, but Victor held a tongue stick in his hand and wrote a passage that shocked him in the air.

[You don't have to worry, I have no delusions about Lord Duke.]

"How much do you know?" Fisher jumped up from the seat and ran to Victor, and when his hand was pressed on his shoulder, the cold touch made the old man's face froze.

The body temperature is wrong!

This is the second time since Buch's return, he has touched Victor's body directly. The last time he could barely be considered physically weak, but now... Fisher can no longer deceive himself.

"Victor! Tell me, you don't...you..." How could you choose such a path? Fisher was unwilling and could not believe it. The only answer to him was silence.

"You are only nineteen years old! Why do you want to become a necromancer?"

[Family, power, status, wealth, these are not what I want. Tell the Lord far away in Jingyao that I am not interested in his position, so please restrain him and stop sending people to do unnecessary tests.]

"When did you have this plan..." Fisher refers to giving up his human identity and choosing to become an undead creature.

[You also know that my mother is the entire motivation for my life. I chose to leave the mountains and forests and be a mage, completely in order to revenge my father who was unknown. But now, my mother has passed away, and my world has nothing left, only the exploration and pursuit of magic. Compared to the power of immortality, the power of the nobles is nothing.] The emerald green pupils are as cold as crystals, and Fisher can't find any room for maneuver in it.

"There are always other ways... Once you enter that field, you will never look back. Moreover, you will always close the path to becoming a sage." Fisher felt infinitely sorry. Not only because he is Lea's descendant, Victor's talent is not as amazing as a talent, but with a little effort, he will still have the opportunity to see the highest palace as the controller of arcane.

[Is there any difference? It is the pursuit of power. It is just that there are differences in the process.] Victor doesn't believe this reason but he cheated Fisher. Wood's pursuit is also the ultimate spell, so this old man should not be suspicious.

As Victor expected, Fisher was silent. As a magician, he could understand the meaning of these words.

"You are my most qualified disciple. I wanted to pass on the position of the chief leader to you. Even if you choose to go to Jingyao for further study, I believe you will eventually take over my position..." The originally shining eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, and Fisher's strong figure also seemed a little hunched, as if he had suddenly become much older.

General length?

This term made Victor's always-blocking face climb up a little astonishment.

Unexpectedly, Wood's mentor has such an identity. He is the chief alchemy who is one of the three highest leaders in the magic system, along with the Magic Association and the Temple Alliance?

Victor, who didn't want to let go of the big fish, began to think about how to deceive this seemingly murna but actually smart old man. If he succeeded, he would not have to spend time and effort to enter the Magic Association. The head of the alchemist had the right to participate, and for the light and dark war, an alchemist was an indispensable logistical support. At that time, not to mention stealing intelligence, it would not be a fantasy to help the Dark win the war. In this way, it would not only be promoted to the same position as Paglotte, but even... it might even be possible to become a higher-level Lich.

Thinking of this, Victor, who had no desires and no desires, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

[So, what are you going to do? For me who has embarked on the path of pursuing the ultimate power, how do you plan to deal with disciples who violate the doctrine of light, my mentor?]

Fisher held the wall, his eyes and expression all showed a fierce battle inside.

Report the Holy See? Or hide it? My old friend’s advice and his eager expectations, do you really want to give up? Is he really going to be taken away by the judge’s knight and accept the punishment of the terrible holy light? Not only does he lose his body, but he cannot even preserve his soul?

When he was a teenager, Victor's stubborn expression emerged from Fisher's memory. Although five years have not been long, he has already treated this child as a biological child. Can he really be cruel?

[Being a true undead is an extremely long process. Before I completely abandon humanity, there is still a long way to go. Teacher, are you willing to give me spiritual guidance?] The words with temptation made Fisher's will shake again.

"Can I trust a dead soul who gives up all material hope?"

[Since I can give up the wealth and power I have of my father I have never met, I will naturally not have any attachment to the position of chief. All I need is a perfect shelter. Of course, if you are worried, you can destroy this fragile body now. My contract with that adult has just been established and I cannot resist the power beyond me at all.]

"Sir?" Hearing Victor's honorific words, Fisher immediately realized that this must be the guy who made his disciple change his faith.

[Paglotte.]

"I've heard of it..." The ancient name, with magic, gave Fisher, who was the chief alchemy, trembled.

"What does it want?" The Lich King will not help a human who is useless to him for no reason. It must have any evil purpose!

[It's just to strengthen the undead group, a reason that's so simple that it can't be simpler.]

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Victor Wood!" This method of name with noun is a sign of Fisher's anger. The lich was not in a hurry to explain. It easily calmed the old man's anger in just one sentence.

[There are ten years left, the battle of light and darkness, mentor Fisher.]

With a gloomy face, Fisher's heart was fighting against the heavens and men.

"As it said, I admit that you have the ability to hide yourself and will not cause trouble to me and the Alchemy Academy. But! Don't think that this will pass the test. Only when you fulfill my long-cherished wish for many years will I help you hide the damn undead identity!"

Fisher left with his sleeves, and Victor's thoughts were entangled in the so-called "cherished wish".

What would Fisher’s wish be?

He has already ranked as the chief leader, and in theory he has no higher pursuits anymore.

Sage?

If so, with his ability, he would not choose to surrender himself, just be an alchemist who will never be able to obtain advanced magic cultivation. Moreover, why do you have to be the first in the adventurer exam?

A light of inspiration flashed through Victor's mind, and the conditions that had not changed in both conversations made it smile like a cunning fox.

I see……
