Exploring Technology in a Wizard World-Chapter 594 - 592: Free Labor Force

When Gro was feeling incredibly frustrated, Richard spoke up, glanced at Nancy and Gro, and asked, "What’s the situation with you two? By the way, I had heard that the people from White Stone Tower were here, but I didn’t actually know it would be you guys. After the destruction of White Stone Tower, what exactly happened?"

"Well," Nancy began, "last year when the White Stone Tower was destroyed, I remember I was at the new campus..."

"I survived along with this guy here, and man, you wouldn’t believe how scared he was at the time. It was embarrassing, but thankfully we later encountered Professor Macbeth..."

"After that, Professor Macbeth led us away..."

"We began to make contact with various Wizard Organizations, both big and small..."

"Finally, the conference was set, Deep Blue Castle fully supported us, and we started sending out invitations..."

"So after we delivered the last invitation, me, this guy, and Professor Macbeth returned to Deep Blue Castle. Because we felt something odd about the atmosphere in Deep Blue Castle, we decided to investigate. That’s when we saw you and followed you here, and here we are."

"Is that so," Richard nodded after listening to Nancy’s long explanation and then asked, "So you have been studying with Macbeth all this time?"

"Yes."

"But I remember Macbeth was supposed to have died back at White Stone Tower, right? Though I later heard people saying he faked his death and only lost his cultivation, how does he now possess even greater power?"

"Well," Nancy replied, "I’m not entirely sure about the details, but it seems Professor Macbeth used some forbidden techniques to force a transformation of his body. White Stone Tower always had control over such methods, but due to the severe side effects, almost no one used them. After the tower was destroyed, the surviving wizards all felt a crisis looming, and Professor Macbeth, with the help of other wizards and without hesitation, used this technique to gain power. I have to say, I can always feel the life force within Professor Macbeth is very unstable, and although he can exhibit strong combat abilities, he often seems more like an oil-drained, flickering old man. It’s hard to say how much longer he can live."

"So that’s how it is," Richard nodded again.

Nancy turned to look at Richard and said, "Alright, enough questions about me. Let’s talk about you—what’s your story? When White Stone Tower fell, I was lucky enough to survive, but how did you make it, and why haven’t I seen you since?"

"Well," Richard replied, "I suppose I survived due to luck as well. At the time I wasn’t at the new school, but I was outside the city and saw the meteor fall, thinking that the whole of White Stone City was destroyed, so I simply left..."

"After that, I went to the port and took a ship north..."

"I was stopped at Muxu Port and had to disembark..."

"Then, after a huge detour, I found myself back at sea, continuing northward..."

"Eventually, I arrived at Mo’er, and then..."

Having listened to Richard’s story, Nancy’s eyes twinkled as she said, "So you’re saying that you became a student of the Guluo Wizard, and after her death, you’ve been living as an Independent Wizard in a settlement, until you received the invitation and came here?"

"Yes," Richard nodded. To be honest, his story wasn’t one hundred percent true, as he had tweaked some minor details, but overall it was more or less the same story he had polished when he first met Heidi, the Cat Slave Girl. There was no problem telling it to Nancy and Gro now.

Nancy didn’t seem to have any doubts either, but what she really cared about at that moment was something else. She frowned and looked intently at him: "Based on what you’ve said, you’ve been living as an Independent Wizard in a settlement. Does that mean you are now a Wizard!"

"Not exactly a true Wizard, but I do possess a similar level of strength, which is why I’m recognized as an Independent Wizard," Richard explained.

"Then that isn’t much different from being a Wizard," Nancy remarked, seemingly with a mix of emotions in her tone.

"What’s the matter?" Richard inquired with curiosity.

"You tell me!" Nancy said with a question in her voice. "Do you still remember our original promise?"

"Promise?"

"Yes, a promise. That night, it was just you and me, alone on the deck..." Nancy slowly articulated.

Gro suddenly widened his eyes: Eh, in the dead of night, a lone man and a single woman on the deck, could it be... Ah, it seems like I’ve heard something I shouldn’t have, will I be silenced?

Gro shrank his neck feeling suddenly in danger.

It was then that Richard realized what she meant, and he looked at Nancy, "You’re talking about, after you become a wizard, my becoming your attendant, right?"

"Exactly," Nancy nodded.

Gro: "..." Huh? An attendant? Shouldn’t it be that sort of thing?

"I remember telling you that I would consider it and give you my answer after you truly became a first-level wizard."

"And now you’ve become a first-level wizard ahead of time, which obviously disqualifies you from being my attendant," said Nancy with a hint of sorrow.

"That really is an issue."

"No, there is a way!" Nancy suddenly interjected, looking at Richard and speaking out, "Your strength is currently that of a first-level low-level wizard, and I am at the peak of being a third-level wizard apprentice. I have confidence that it won’t be long before I breakthrough to a wizard. Then, with a bit more effort, I might even become a first-level middle stage wizard faster than you, and then I will be qualified to have you as my attendant."

Richard shrugged, "Then all I can do is wish you luck, hoping that the next time we meet, you’ll surprise me."

"I will," Nancy declared with the arrogance of a talented individual, "My talent is exceptional. Teacher Macbeth has praised me. Not like some people who only drag others down... so believe me, I will definitely not disappoint you."

Gro, feeling deeply hurt on the side: Hey, the conversation was going well, why attack me again?

Seeing that Nancy seemed about to continue, Gro, sensing trouble, swiftly changed the subject, looking at Richard and asking, "By the way, Lord Richard, I know you came to Deep Blue Castle following the person from the Jungle Hut. But after you arrived at Deep Blue Castle Station, why did you leave and come here?"

"Yes, why come here?" Hearing Gro’s words, Nancy grew curious, looking around, "There seems to be nothing here, what are you looking for?"

"There really seems to be nothing here now," Richard honestly replied, "However, I suspect that a long time ago, there was a village called ’Yatis’ here, the birthplace of the Jungle Hut’s founder. Because I’m interested in the founders’ life story, I wanted to confirm exactly where she was born, so I came here to have a look and try to check things out."

"Check? How are you going to check?" Gro asked.

"Dig up the ground and see what’s buried beneath." freeweɓnovel-cøm

"Ah, I see." Gro nodded and took the initiative to ask, "Do you need help?"

"If you’re willing."

"Of course, I’m willing. This sounds easy, after all, Lord Richard, you helped me a lot in the past, and I still haven’t repaid that high-grade crystal coin that I borrowed from you. Helping with these little things is nothing," Gro spoke out, then turning his head to Nancy to ask, "Nancy, do you want to join in?"

"I can," Nancy glanced over, nonchalantly saying, "If it’s a minor thing to you, then it’s naturally effortless for me, too. I don’t mind helping out."

"Shall we start then?"

"Sure." Saying that, Gro and Nancy began to move.

Richard watched from the side, secretly nodding in his mind: Well, the help is all here, though they might not be as efficient as Pandora, they’re at least more careful. Most importantly, they’re volunteering.

Not bad, not bad at all.
