[Nameless Clothing Store]
As Yi Chen led Zede downstairs, Mr. Ivan, who was working on a brand-new mannequin, immediately sensed a strong, mysterious, and powerful scent of death.
“Who is the person with William? Why would he willingly take them to the important [secret chamber]? Only Qian Bosen and I should know about it.
Has that fellow been brainwashed or coerced?”
Considering the potential risks, Ivan paused his mannequin creation, changed into a two-color suit, and covered his completely charred right face with a half mask. He then walked towards the next door secret chamber, leaning on a special cane.
As he followed the hidden passage between the warehouses down to the basement, Yi Chen, who was examining the spherical relic, didn’t notice his arrival.
Meanwhile, Zede, also in the basement, had removed his mask and covered his face, now blinded by black bandages.
This image immediately reminded Ivan of a familiar name.
“Hogni Zede~is that right? I have often heard old man Qian Bosen mention you… I didn’t expect the organization to relax the restrictions on you and agree to let you leave the academy to move around, did they?”
“Mm,” Yi Chen simply responded with a brief reply.
Even though he seemed uninterested in Lotson, Yi Chen still took the opportunity to stealthily observe through the concealed eyes of the grape, feeling that the ‘sense of disharmony’ emanating from the other party only intensified.
He had a sneaking suspicion that their meeting was not by chance, but an ‘accidental encounter’ deliberately orchestrated by Lotson.
“William, are you free tonight? Would you like to come with me to the Magician Association? I happen to be delivering a batch of special materials there,” Lotson said with a friendly squinting expression, deliberately lifting up the cloth bag in his hand and emphasizing it with a pointed gesture.
In the past, Yi Chen would have certainly declined.
But coincidentally, he had no plans this evening, his physique had broken through its limit, and the formal meeting with the Principal would not be until tomorrow.
Most importantly, Yi Chen was also curious to find out if there was anything wrong with this white-haired individual before him.
“Lead the way,” he said.
[Magician Association]
Gentlemen hold various professions, and some groups with similar professions and abilities establish small to medium-sized gatherings to enhance mutual exchange of experience under the authorization of an organization.
Among them, the Magician Association ranks among the top four of all gathering groups, primarily because of a large member base, with many professions related to magic.
For example, Professor Qian Bosen’s expertise in Wind Magic.
Yi Chen’s original plant disease could also be classified under magic, as could the newly awakened Death, which he had not yet mastered.
The main building corresponding to the Magician Association occupies a large area in the street district, looking like a medieval academy from the outside, open all day.
Inside, there are discussion rooms for various types of magic, potion supply rooms, and a library. All the books therein are Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
The main entrance of the building leads to a spacious reception hall with candles floating in midair under the effect of Gravity Magic. Organizational tasks related to magic are pre-distributed here, with members enjoying the priority to undertake these tasks.
After wandering around with Lotson, Yi Chen actually began to entertain the idea of joining the association.
“This place is nice, isn’t it? William, you are also preeminent in [Intelligence] with amazing talent. You can submit an application right now to become our prospective member.
Once you graduate from the academy, you’ll be able to convert to full member immediately, enjoying all the privileges here,” Lotson said.
“Let’s talk about it after I graduate, thanks anyway, Lotson.”
Seeing Yi Chen preparing to leave, Lotson gently tapped his shoulder and pointed to a window on the side of the hall:
“Since you’re here, why don’t you check if there are any magic tasks that suit you.
You might find some magic materials that fit with us, which can be used in the creation of magic tools or even assist in our future Extreme Breakthroughs.
If I’m not wrong, William, you’ve already been preparing for an Extreme Breakthrough recently, haven’t you?”
Yi Chen was indeed curious to see what differentiated the tasks pre-distributed to the Magician Association.
A member on duty today received them and handed over a booklet, which recorded all the tasks that hadn’t been accepted in the last three days.
Generally speaking, tasks are updated at eight in the morning, and most of the ‘cost-effective’ tasks are taken in the morning.
The remaining tasks have a low cost-benefit ratio or are characterized by uncertainty and instability, making them often untouched and eventually ending up at the Gentleman Hall.
