Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 462 - 441 Rubber Fruit and Invitation

"To express our gratitude to Mr. Tang Qi for successfully assisting the Stone Eye Team in recapturing the escaped Contained Object YDF-066, we are specially granting you Class C privileges. Whenever you need, you can apply at any branch, access related materials, or receive corresponding support..."

On the fourth floor of the Library Tower, in front of a workbench, Tang Qi was holding a huge pipe wrench in one hand and a letter in the other, reading it.

The letter was from the World Tree Foundation, a special letter of thanks.

After reading it, Tang Qi’s gaze immediately shifted to a rectangular card that came with the letter, seemingly made of a special material that felt different from both plastic and metal, engraved with the pattern of the "World Tree" on the front.

And on the back, it was pitch black, as if it were the eternal night before the sunrise.

"Compared to the World Tree Foundation, both the FBI and the Bright Church are really impolite."

"I help the Foundation contain a monster, and they send a thank you letter along with various rewards and a Class C privilege card. When I last killed Leckter, they gave me nothing, not even a medal. They couldn’t be more stingy."

Tang Qi griped internally as he examined the card.

Indeed, neither the official bodies nor the Church had sent Tang Qi a thank you letter or a medal.

However, both had directly increased the cooperation level with Merada Special Education School significantly.

This is the typical style of the Mysterious Side’s Transcendent Organizations; they don’t focus on superficialities but directly implement fundamentally beneficial measures. Compared to organizations like the "World Tree" and "Ancient Mystical Vault," both manage it well.

Tang Qi casually grumbled a few words, then put away the letter and the privilege card.

The tools like the hammer and pipe wrench were stuffed back into Gluttony, and he then returned to the sofa area, collapsing onto it.

After a hard day, Tang Qi felt he needed to relax.

At this moment, Tang Qi’s body appeared perfectly normal, still the elegant, young, and mysterious Mr. Principal.

But in reality, his muscles throughout his body were all sore.

The aftereffect of repairing a big airplane!

His first "day at work" was not quite what he had expected.

Before this, his practice in the Casting Skill, aside from the initial intelligence-insulting "Soaking Method", included crafting Extraordinary Bullets or recreating legendary firearms like "Evil Dragon Roar", all delicate paths. Even if he blew up the laboratory, he still maintained his composure.

But this time, he was learning Master Hansel’s "casting method."

Various rune magics and collisions, fusions of Extraordinary Powers... turned into giant hammers, pipe wrenches, and the likes.

The durability of the "Queen Serano" also made a deep impression on Tang Qi.

Even though his body had advanced to the Professional Level and undergone the transformation of Molten Magic, greatly surpassing normal Professional Level. Added with the enhancement of Chaga Fighting Technique, continuing to forge the Queen was supposed to be an not so difficult task.

Sadly, the cruel reality told Tang Qi he was wrong.

The style of Master Hansel could only be described by one word... reckless.

A whole day of forging resulted in the Queen entering its "finalization process" and his dual progress in both Fighting Skill and Casting Skill.

The cost, however, was the current drained state of Tang Qi.

Beside him, without exerting much effort, both Gluttony, the Elf, and the Night Beast, were also lounging.

A master along with two pets, just watched the scene outside the window.

Under the misty moonlight, right below Dragon Heart Castle, a lively scene was unfolding.

A group of students and teachers seemed to be engaged in a chaotic competition.

Currently, it was a speed contest.

Participants could use any method, flying, walking, or employing Curios. What was amusing was that Selma, the professor of Extraordinary Botany, sporting the body of a ten-year-old girl, joined the student group seamlessly.

Yet, her "Clarkwo Spaceship", like an inflated River Pufferfish, lazily moved through the air, its clumsy and amusing manner, and turtle-crawl speed, ensured her spot as the last one.

Laughter and voices drifted up from below.

Tang Qi’s lips also unconsciously curved up, thinking to himself:

"If Esmeralda and the others returned and saw the school in its current state, their expressions would certainly be very interesting."

A faint sense of accomplishment bubbled up.

Compared to the first day he arrived, the change in Merada Special Education School was indeed huge.

To some extent, this school is becoming a Pure Land in the increasingly dark and cruel reality of the world.

"To keep the school transcendent, it’s not just me who needs to grow stronger, but also the students, the teachers..."

He sighed for a moment, and Tang Qi’s occupational habit as a principal kicked in, subconsciously considering how to develop the Witch School into a "Super Organization".

Just as his thoughts were about to diverge further, Gluttony suddenly rubbed against him and then spit out a tiny object.

"Ah?"

As Tang Qi expressed his surprise, the object revealed itself.

It was the Mysterious Seal he had obtained long ago in Messer City.

After he entered Secret Phoenix City, the seal was declared useless.

But it wasn’t truly useless, as it was still connected to one matter.

"Could it be...?"

Tang Qi’s heart stirred, he clenched the seal, only to hear a deep, emotionless voice resound in his mind.

"Guest, there have been developments in your bounty request. Please proceed to the nearest market for confirmation."

Almost immediately, Tang Qi pushed down the soreness and got up.

Molten Magic swept through, instantaneously dissolving the negative state.

Although continuing to experience it is somewhat beneficial for the body, it is insignificant compared to the message received at this moment.

In the Mysterious Valley Market within Messer City, Tang Qi has just one bounty.

"Rubber fruit!"

The four familiar yet unfamiliar words brushed past his mind.

Ever since acquiring the heritage of the Original Secret Medicine School, Tang Qi immediately set his sights on the most powerful secret medicine in this school: the Rubber God.

Unfortunately, even the basic Rubber Man Secret Medicine requires a rare material, the "rubber fruit."

Throughout the vast Federation, not a single one could be found.

Because of this, Tang Qi’s training in this school had always stalled; he could not advance to the apprentice level because Rubber Man Secret Medicine is one of the three basic secret medicines he must formulate to promote.

Initially, Tang Qi thought about finding the rubber fruit in the boundless Yamada Jungle when he had some free time.

Unexpectedly, good news arrived.

"Was it the market in Sweet Water City, where someone accepted the bounty and brought the fruit?"

As Tang Qi slid the door open, he speculated.

On the other side of the door lies the Extraordinary Market closest to Tang Qi, the Old Tavern.

At the fifth-level trading center, inside a private trading room.

Tang Qi did not meet the hunter who accepted the bounty or the familiar Shadow Servant. Instead, a servant in a red vest faced him, his expression seemingly fixed by some kind of affinity magic.

But the servant also knew that magic was ineffective on Tang Qi, so without any delay, he directly opened a box and pushed it towards Tang Qi.

Inside the box lay an iron arrowhead stained with blood.

As Tang Qi frowned, the servant’s voice came out.

"Esteemed guest, your bounty has been accepted by many, but all have ended in failure. Later, someone found the market in Sweet Water City to transmit a message through the market’s channel relating to your bounty—the rubber fruit."

"The market has verified the method of this message transmission and it will not cause any harm to you."

"You still have the right to refuse, and the market will ensure that none of your personal information will be leaked."

As the red-vested servant spoke, Tang Qi’s gaze fell on the box.

The despair did not deeply disappoint Tang Qi.

At this moment, this "bizarre" situation prompted Tang Qi to be slightly on guard.

The so-called "message" might just be on this iron arrowhead, and the reason why those adventurers who took the task had failed might also relate to it.

While pondering, a faint ghost light had already emerged.

"Curio: A blood-stained arrowhead, a common artifact, which has become endowed with Extraordinary Power due to a spell cast by a wizard, and carries a message..."

"Message?"

As the visual formed, Tang Qi pondered for a moment.

He then waved his hand to stop the red-vested servant, reached out, and picked up the arrowhead stained with some type of blood.

Boom!

Almost instantaneously, as Tang Qi’s fingers touched it, intense ghost light burst forth.

In an instant, a burst of light and shadow exploded in Tang Qi’s mind.

An old figure slowly emerged.

He seemed to have no hair whatsoever, his skin full of wrinkles and covered with dark blue patterns, bizarre symbols, roaring sea monsters, and a crimson moon. On his ears hung two vibrant blood snakes, occasionally opening their mouths to stick out their tongues, revealing a pitch-dark interior.

He wore a splendid, intricate wizard robe, his eyes directly staring at Tang Qi.

Then, he uttered a language that Tang Qi, the "Language Master," had never heard before.

However, oddly, he was able to fully comprehend the meaning of the words.

"Some kind of mind-apprehending witchcraft?"

As Tang Qi speculated, the old wizard’s words had already been received by him.

Before the old wizard’s light and shadow faded, he opened his coarse palm, revealing in the center of the palm a shriveled fruit, oval-shaped, covered with a constantly twisting, flowing mesh pattern, with a structure like a bird’s beak at the top—even as just a phantom, it still made Tang Qi’s eyes narrow.

The knowledge acquired from Professor Cassel in his mind instantly confirmed that it was indeed the rubber fruit that he needed.

After one glance, the light and shadow collapsed.

Tang Qi blinked, still facing the arrowhead.

The puzzle had been unveiled.

The so-called message was actually an invitation.

The old wizard extended an invitation to Tang Qi, hoping he would come to the Yamada Jungle, where the Original Secret Medicine School originated, to help the tribe the old wizard belonged to fend off or eliminate a sea monster’s invasion, with the reward being the rubber fruit.

Or rather, the reward given to Tang Qi was the rubber fruit.

According to the old wizard, they had also invited other Transcendents.

Each one of them was in the prophecies as...

"Savior?"

Tang Qi chewed over these three words, a hint of sarcasm emerging in the depths of his eyes.
