Scroll of Witchcraft

Chapter 20 Bering City

Secret path, witch array, library...

In Li Wei's eyes, a standard wizard family castle appeared, and the burned castle was restored.

"A site dedicated to cultivating dripping mushrooms, one of the main ingredients of Jade Elixir."

"The witch array in this secret room showed signs of being violently cracked, and the self-destruct program also showed signs of being activated, but it was forcibly terminated by another powerful spiritual force."

……

Levi walked through the castle and entered various rooms in the ruins of the castle for detailed scanning.

In the bell tower, a broken copper bell fell to the ground.

Standing on the bell tower, you can overlook the entire old town of Bering City.

The newly built castle not far away failed to reproduce the style of the old castle, and was much smaller in scale.

"It's so late, the lord of Bering City is still going out?"

Li Wei looked at a group of luxurious carriages in the distance, and they were driving at night with lights on, aiming at the cruise ships at the port, which was very eye-catching in a dark urban area, and they were ready to go out to sea to live their dreams.

"The frequency of this trip is a little high."

Li Wei frowned. He knew how extravagant the nobles in this world were, but he still couldn't help complaining.

"However, this trip is not completely fruitless."

Li Wei said softly that he found marks left by other wizard apprentices in the ruins.

The castle is so eye-catching, probably every apprentice wizard who passes by Bering City can't help but come in and explore it?

Outside Bering City, in a small town closest to the city, several large estates are located here.

Most of the wizard marks in the castle point in this direction, and a few others point to other towns.

These wizard apprentices surrounded the entire Bering City. It seemed that there were not a few wizard apprentices coveting the Johnson family's legacy.

Just as the Austin family where Li Wei belongs to has operated a series of peripheral forces such as the Silver Crystal Chamber of Commerce, all wizard families are often cunning rabbits and three caves.

Many people speculated that the ancestors of the Johnson family had left the resources for the Johnson family to make a comeback, and it was in a corner above the vast ocean. Many people believed in this.

There are rumors that the city lord of Bering City spends his life in luxury, but he actually wants to go out to play as a cover, secretly looking for the treasures left by the Johnson family.

"Bering City's tax revenue can't support such expenses. It should be that someone behind the scenes invested in the city lord and gave him the funds to go out and play."

……

The harmonious scene of the town is in stark contrast to the chaos in Bering City. According to the news from the local population, the owners of these manors all settled here three or four years ago.

It is because of their maintenance that the whole town can be so organized.

It seems that they are all like Li Wei, apprentice wizards hiding in the countryside, ready to live for a long time.

Li Wei rang the doorbell of an exquisite western-style building, and there were rhythmic footsteps in the house.

"Hi! Who are you? Do you have an appointment?"

A well-dressed butler opened the door.

"Gary Williams, I want to visit the owner of this manor."

Li Wei smiled, and casually fabricated a vest.

The housekeeper showed a look of embarrassment: "Mr. Greenton's daily schedule is very tight, sir, if you don't have an appointment..."

Just as the butler was speaking halfway, a young waiter hurried out and whispered something in the butler's ear.

The expression on the housekeeper's face changed, and he quickly bowed and apologized to Li Wei: "Master is waiting for you in the living room, please follow me."

Li Wei nodded in satisfaction, and then took back the mental power he had radiated.

Spiritual power is the biggest sign of a wizard, and it is also an important way for wizards to identify each other.

Entering the western-style building, one can see the elegant decoration. Various oil paintings, handicrafts, and specimens are placed on the wall in a patchwork manner, which makes people look very comfortable.

The decoration of the living room is very elegant, in the style of the Billonian Dynasty, and it is a favorite decoration style of the nobles who have passed down the ages.

A well-dressed middle-aged man was sitting on a mahogany chair, with dignified features and aristocratic dignity.

Seeing Li Wei's arrival, the middle-aged man immediately got up to greet him and performed a noble salute.

"Welcome, my friend."

Li Wei also replied: "It's an honor to meet you!"

"Hal, you step back, I want to talk to this friend alone."

The middle-aged man waved his hand and asked the butler to lead several waiters and maids out of the living room, leaving only the middle-aged man and Li Wei in the spacious living room.

"Let me introduce myself again. I'm Abel, a third-class apprentice from Elemental High Tower Academy! Greenton is my alias in Bering City."

The middle-aged man reported that his family performed a wizard ceremony.

The Elemental High Tower Academy is the same as the Illusory Garden Academy and the Unscrupulous Valley Academy, and it is a wizarding academy with a long history in the Coral Coast.

"Gary Williams, a wandering wizard from overseas, third-class apprentice."

Li Wei reported his vest and returned a wizard salute.

"It turned out to be a friend who came across the ocean."

Abel looked clear, and he could be promoted to a third-class apprentice outside of the ocean, it would be hard to believe.

However, he was not going to expose Li Wei's lies. A third-class apprentice was still very important, and it was not wise to take the initiative to turn against him.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and then got to the point.

"Any news from the Coral Coast?"

Abel has determined that Li Wei is a wizard apprentice who was sent far away and has just returned.

"I only know that the scramble for the ancient ruins has stopped, and the order of the entire Coral Coast has gradually begun to restore."

Li Wei didn't cover up too much, and asked directly.

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Abel's eyes. He is in need of help now. If he can win over the other party, he may be able to break the situation.

Anyway, it's not important information, you can get it with a little effort.

"The colleges have reached an agreement on the ownership of the ancient ruins, and everything is back on track."

Levi threw out the biggest doubt since his return: "Then what is the situation of the Owen family now? I heard that they are recruiting pharmacists aggressively."

Abel replied: "I heard that the patriarch of the Owen family was injured in a battle with official wizards from other colleges during the fight for the ruins. Now he is hiding in Aegean City to heal his injuries."

Li Wei nodded, almost as he guessed.

"Actually... all the wizarding academies involved in the exploration of the ruins suffered heavy losses, and had to sign a truce."

Abel squinted his eyes and sent an astonishing message with his mental power.

"Now the major colleges say that they have returned to their former appearance, but in fact they are all strong outsiders and capable insiders."

……

Hearing this, Li Wei was thoughtful, the news was even more explosive than he had imagined.

"If you're not in a hurry, I suggest that Mr. Gary stay in Bering City for a while and wait until the situation becomes clearer before leaving."

Abel gives advice.
