Heman walked in Edge City. When he first entered Edge City, he noticed the changes in Edge City.

The inspection for entering the city has become stricter than before. The number of patrols by the law enforcement team on the streets has increased. Almost every once in a while, you can see people patrolling the streets. This level of strictness is much stricter than before.

Similarly, the start of war is both a danger and an opportunity.

A large number of tasks were sent out by Holy Shield, and a large number of materials and potions were purchased by Holy Shield at a price higher than the market price. This has increased the flow of people in Edge City, which is several times more than usual. There are more wizards on the streets, and their strength is stronger.

Of course, in this case, there are also wizards who are not good at fighting and like peace and choose to leave.

On the street, whether it is mortals, wizard apprentices, or even formal wizards, their faces are quite solemn. Although there is nothing abnormal, the nervous atmosphere emanating from them cannot be concealed.

Heman did not choose to return to his residence, but walked towards Bell's pharmacy.

Bell's pharmacy was not well-known in Edge City, and its business was relatively slow. But now with the start of the war, business has increased. Many wizards have turned their attention to Bell's pharmacy, hoping to buy some potions from Bell. After all, potions are in short supply during wartime.

When Heman arrived at the door of the store, he found that there were many more customers here than usual, and a large number of them were wizard apprentices. They walked to the counter with potions in their hands to pay.

"Hello, sir." The clerk's voice sounded behind Heman: "What do you need?"

"Where is Bell? I'm here to find him!" Heman turned his head and said to the clerk.

"Sir Bell is resting today, I'm afraid he won't receive you..." The clerk said with a smile.

"I'm Bell's friend, go tell him, he'll see me!" Heman didn't care and continued.

The clerk was stunned for a moment after listening to Ximan's words, and then whispered: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will report it immediately."

Ximan stood in the store and waited. He looked around. The decoration style of the store had changed. The walls were full of medicine labels, and the counters, tables and chairs were all replaced with new ones.

While Ximan was observing the surroundings, footsteps were heard in the store. The clerk trotted to Ximan and said respectfully: "Sir, please follow me, Lord Bell is waiting for you."

"Yes." Ximan nodded and followed the clerk into the backyard of the store. In the backyard, he saw Bell sitting on a chair, holding a feather pen and writing something. When he saw Ximan coming in, he paused for a moment and said: "You are here, Ximan!"

"It seems that you are very busy during this period!" Ximan walked to Bell, sat on another chair, and asked.

"It's quite busy, you know..." Bell sighed: "Recently, potions are in short supply and demand is insufficient. I have to spend most of my time refining potions and have no time to rest."

"I think you are enjoying it!" Ximan teased: "You look so radiant, it seems that you have earned a lot of magic stones during this period."

"Haha, that's not the case!" Bell said with a smile: "Just a little bit."

The two talked for a few words, and Ximan went straight to the point and asked: "I just came back. Has anything big happened in Edge City recently?!"

"Yes, and quite a lot!" Bell's face rarely showed a deep worry.

"Oh?" Ximan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Tell me more about it!"

"Something very strange has happened in Edge City recently!" Bell said in a low voice, "More than ten days ago, a battle between formal wizards suddenly broke out in Edge City, and the scale of the outbreak was quite large, and many wizard apprentices were killed and injured."

Ximan raised his eyebrows: "A battle between formal wizards? Which force is it from?"

"I'm not sure, because the two formal wizards were dealt with by the law enforcement team that rushed over." Bell shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "And the answer given by the law enforcement team said that both of them were foreign wizards, and the conflict broke out because of personal grudges."

Ximan frowned and pondered for a moment: "Besides this, is there anything else?"

"Well, it is said that three more bases of Holy Shield were destroyed by the Five Ring Lighthouse, and Holy Shield lost six formal wizards."

"It's really tragic!" Ximan's mouth twitched twice. Even formal wizards can hardly change the situation in such a battle, and the probability of death is not small.

"But the loss of the Five Ring Lighthouse is even greater." Bell said: "It is said that in this battle, more than 200 people died in the Five Ring Lighthouse, including eight formal wizards, and even the second-level wizards of both sides almost died in this battle."

Heman nodded. If this news is true, then the loss of the Five Ring Lighthouse is indeed very huge.

"Can you help me get a few third-class wizard apprentices? Men and women are not limited, and the qualifications do not need to be very high. The most important thing is that they are under 50 years old." Heman asked Bell: "Do you have a way to get them?"

"Third-class wizard apprentices?" Bell said in surprise: "What do you want to do? You want to use them for experiments?"

"What do you think?" Heman asked back.

Bell was silent for a while and said: "It can be possible, but the number cannot be too large, and they can only be wizard apprentices locked in cells, otherwise it is easy to arouse suspicion from others."

"No problem, send it as quickly as possible." Heman said: "This experiment is very important to me and cannot be delayed."

"I understand. I'll deliver it to you tonight." Bell nodded and agreed.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Ximan nodded to Bell and said, "These are the expenses."

Ximan handed Bell a storage bag filled with dense magic stones. A rough look showed that there were at least two thousand of them.

Looking at Ximan's departing back, Bell's eyes flickered and he muttered to himself, "It seems that this is also a way to make money."

With the full-scale opening of the war, Edge City will definitely not be peaceful. It is normal for some wizard apprentices to disappear at this time. Bell can take advantage of this opportunity to plunder some wizard apprentices and sell them to other wizards in need.

Ximan returned to his home, and after briefly distributing the gains of this outing with Cathy, he began to meditate today.

Ximan took a bottle of mental potion, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state, and began to practice magic.

As the meditation progressed, his body trembled slightly, and wisps of red mist floated out of his body, gradually gathering into a spherical red heart. As the heart beat, the surrounding fire element particles were pulled into He-Man's body.
