This Wizard is So Unscientific!

Book Collection Floor.

Flames flickered in the fireplace, occasionally crackling with sparks.

The necromancer “Aubrey” was reviewing the information obtained by Tuck from the interrogation of Wizard Glenn.

Tuck sat close to the fireplace, relishing the warmth of the flames.

Faint runes pulsed in Tuck’s hands, almost imperceptibly.

Ever since Tuck discovered that he could control the world’s ley lines with unmatched precision.

He began to gradually develop this ability.

After all, this was a trait he gained from SS Level precision.

Now, an almost imperceptible Earth Runes sequence spread within Tuck’s Shadow Rune Staff.

This Earth Runes sequence was a mere wisp extracted from the Earth Runes Staff he had loaned to Taniru.

After all, Tuck needed to safeguard against Taniru running off with the funds.

But Taniru was caught off guard, and it was the members of the Dark Sun Church who swallowed the bait.

The fleeing Shadow Walker took Tuck’s Earth Runes Staff.

This was one of the reasons Tuck did not immediately pursue the man.

When the time was right, he would reap his rewards.

As long as the fishing line was long enough, Tuck could catch a substantial number of fish.

Lost in thoughts, Tuck looked around.

“Hurr… hurr…”

A slight snoring was barely audible by his ear.

The mysterious fellow was sleeping so deeply that Tuck was almost getting sleepy.

Tuck roughly understood that this must be the “Magic Cottage” raised by Mr. Aubrey.

“Someday, if I can also raise some powerful magical creatures, that’d be great.”

“And with Sheep Transformation, I’m not worried about their size. I could even raise demons and devils.”

“What? You say these creatures are likely to turn on their master?”

“Then they must be longing to join the KFC deluxe lunch menu.”

Before long, Mr. Aubrey finished browsing.

Compared to the straightforward information from the Tower.

The content from the interrogation was more about the detailed aspects.

Like.

How many powerful Transcendents and Dark Sun Degenerates were coming to besiege the Ramore City-State, and what their general plans were.

And roughly how many traitors there were within Ramore.

Even… the interrogation revealed that some low-Level Transcendents who fled Ramore were captured and, in order to save their lives, defiled the Dark Sun and became its puppets.

Of course, the two they captured this time didn’t know about the top collaborators inside the Ramore Tower City-State.

After a while, Aubrey finally looked at Tuck and slowly said,

“Have you explored the Steam Ring?”

“Not yet. I am assimilating those wizard traits and plan to try after the steam resonance,” Tuck shook his head.

“Hmm, the traces of the Light Steam Angel in the Steam Ring are indeed extremely concealed.”

“We only occasionally catch a glimpse of it.”

“Hasty exploration won’t yield any extra findings.”

“Exploring the secrets within the steam at your own pace is the right choice.”

“Also, you’re absorbing your Transcendent Characteristics very well.”

“And it seems you’ve been learning Alchemy recently?” Aubrey asked casually.

“Yes, I don’t trust that Taniru with Alchemy, so I’m smelting on my own.”

“I seem to have a pretty good talent for it, and precision is showing astounding effects.”

“Plus, my digestion ability is somewhat unusual among Transcendents, which allows me to consume a larger amount of Wizard Traits lately.”

Listening to Tuck’s explanation, Aubrey began to laugh lightly.

Without a doubt.

This youngster he was fond of was beginning to demonstrate his extraordinary talents in the Transcendent realm.

Perhaps his apparent Talent wasn’t that high.

But… those gifts buried in his bones could not be concealed.

As his Transcendent Characteristics gradually enhanced and strengthened, his talents would become increasingly extravagant.

Especially his digestion ability—one of the very crucial abilities.

“Good… very good!”

Aubrey laughed.

Now that he had confirmed Tuck’s exceptional talents.

The time he invested in nurturing and guiding Tuck had even more value, and although there wasn’t much time left, it was enough to hand over more knowledge to Tuck.

“You must have other matters to attend to on this visit,”

Aubrey said.

“It seems I can’t hide anything from you, Teacher.”

“I want to purchase a shadow-based summoning spell from you.”

Tuck stated truthfully.

“Shadow, summoning?”

Aubrey pondered carefully, and after a moment, he finally spoke up.

“I do not have summoning spells, but I do possess a ritual from the Shadow Sequence named ‘Shadow Ritual, Contract Witchcraft.'”

“And it is an extremely dangerous type of shadow ritual witchcraft.”

“Your average Transcendent would not dare to master such spells.”

“Especially shadow wizards, who often become the sacrifice for the ritual.”

“Even for you, when mastering a ritual witchcraft, you must be cautious. Understand?”

“Understood!” Tuck nodded solemnly.

Shadow Ritual, Contract Witchcraft!

As a “witchcraft” and “ritual” combined,

it can essentially be considered as the pinnacle of witchcraft.

The entities summoned through such rituals are often very powerful,

and pose great danger.

It was the case in the Barrier World before.

Taniru seemed normal because he was a priest who could rescue himself and was more restrained, not daring to absorb at high intensity.

If it were someone else, who dared to draw from the Barrier World’s “Iron-coupled wall” to reinforce his wizard ecology as intensely as Tuck had,

chances are they’d be kneeling at the wall repenting and praying twenty-four hours a day.

The scroll enveloped in shadows was taken out by Aubrey.

Suddenly, the nearby flame was tinged with a thin layer of shadow.

As the light dimmed, the colors around gradually began to peel away.

A pair of indifferent black-and-white eyes flickered within the flames like stars, gazing at Tuck.

“Roar…”

“Roar…”

The distant howling of the Shadow Hounds could be faintly heard.

Groping for the shadow ritual scroll, Tuck waited for a short while.

The Shadow Hounds did not dare to leap out and attack Tuck.

“The immersion into the shadow is still slightly insufficient… unable to truly attract enmity.”

As Tuck placed the shadow ritual scroll into the Transcendent Storage Bracelet, the extraordinary phenomena gradually dissipated, and the room returned to its normal state.

“99 Magic Gold,” Aubrey said, naming his price at this time.

“Gifts” and “transactions” are quite different.

Especially for higher-level Transcendents, whose Transcendent Characteristics begin affecting the world around them,

avoiding building more connections is prudent.

The definitive nature of a “transaction” is much clearer compared to a “gift.”

Once the transaction was complete, Aubrey, scrutinizing Tuck, slowly spoke again.

“The main reason I wanted to see you is because Hilor came by a couple of days ago.”

“Inquiring about the Steam Ring wasn’t your purpose in seeking me out, was it?” Tuck raised an eyebrow.

“Of course not,” Aubrey chuckled.

“Not to say that matter isn’t important, it’s just not the main thing for today.”

“At present, Hilor is overseeing much of the Demon King Seal’s affairs.”

“Hilor has already sensed the undercurrents stirring around her.”

“But the higher-ups have little time to assist her.”

“So, he hopes that once you’ve dealt with your current matters, you could go there to help her and also to expedite the exploration and acquisition at the Demon King’s Tomb.”

“After all, you were one of the candidates she had in mind to participate in the exploration of the Demon King’s Tomb.”

Tuck reflected for a moment and nodded.

“Understood!”

“Tomorrow, or the day after at the latest, I should be able to handle my current affairs.”

“Then, I will seek out Hilor.”

“Good, I will inform Hilor in advance that you will be coming in the next few days.”

“Also, this assassination attempt has proven that the Dark Sun Church has taken notice of you, be careful,” Aubrey warned.

Tuck smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, I will be.”

Now Tuck was gradually building the foundation and means befitting a true Transcendent Wizard, as his resources increased.

“Perhaps… they should be the ones to be careful, not me!”
