Zongman: Is this how it’s sewn?

Chapter 257 255. Wizarding World, Loyal Old Servant
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Xu Zhenqing returned to Earth through the gate between the two worlds. Compared to exploring the secrets of a bridgehead world, it was more important to manage the primitive ancient world well.

Leaving behind a mortal and some resources to explore the secrets of Jianmu and practice wizardry.

This trip to the outside of the world is to retrieve the gates between the two worlds and prevent the monsters from invading the primitive ancient world through the gates.

Golden fingers like the Two Realms Gate and the Chaos Pearl that connect to the world outside the sea are very rare. Most of them connect to the world within the sea, or the sacrificial sea world.

The Boundary Sea World is fine, but a group of traversers who connected to the Sacrifice Sea World have now died.

Compared with the Chaos Orb, the Gate between the Two Realms has a stronger property of locking the two realms, which means it has a stronger ability to resist interference and is more harmful.

Chaos beads and the like are teleported based on coordinates, so it is relatively easy to interfere with them.

……

I replaced the only son of a local impoverished nobleman. My ancestors had produced legendary wizards, but my family had fallen on hard times. This identity made it relatively easy for me to practice.

He said, "I want to leave the country compound and go to the wizard tower in the city to register as a wizard apprentice so that I can use my wizard powers legally."

The housekeeper's face darkened when he saw Xu Zhenqing's expression. He had watched Hollans grow up, and spoke in an elder's tone: "Holans, where are you going? Tomorrow the judge will revoke your identity. It's very dangerous for ordinary people to appear in the city. Your petty friends will definitely not let this opportunity go."

"Butler Hollis, before my noble status is revoked, do I have personal freedom?" He asked in the same tone as Hollis, but without the other party's timid character.

Hollis made a gesture of prayer and replied, "Of course. Nobles have the natural right to enjoy freedom, Hollands."

"In that case, I will be back before tomorrow. I will not take any risks. It will be secret and no one will know." He promised me that this butler was quite good to the original body, and he was one of the few with such background, so he naturally had more patience.

Seeing that he couldn't stop me, Hollis took out some more mechanical silver coins and gave them to me. These were relics of Hollis's ancestors.

He and I took some resources and came to the wizard tower in the nearest city. This was the local wizard apprentice, and we exchanged a mechanical silver coin for the mechanical wizard.

This silver coin is made of mithril, and its craftsmanship allows it to be used as general currency.

This wizard apprentice was not very capable but was quite arrogant. Normally he should have been the one to give the seal personally, but the one who came was a young girl.

Most of the girl's long pink hair was covered by the hat, with only a few strands showing. Her mouth was like a cherry, with thin lips and slightly upturned corners. She was smiling, but it did not give people any warmth, but instead seemed mean.

"My father doesn't have time, so I will give you the seal."

"Oh, I have something to do. Why don't you come back tomorrow?" It seemed as if she always had a mocking smile on her delicate face.

"If I let you give me the seal, it would really be a disgrace to my noble status." He said with a mocking look on his face.

The other party is not the wizard's daughter, but a test subject bought under the name of his daughter, and this wizard apprentice is a bloodline wizard.

The mean girl's eyes widened: "Are you laughing at me? You, a down-and-out noble, dare to laugh at me?"

"What else? The nobles don't laugh at the poor, so is it the common people who laugh at the nobles?" He looked at the other's snake-like pupils, the yellow pupils, and the dark vertical crack in the middle, and said calmly.

The mean girl turned around and was about to leave: "Then you will never think of receiving the seal from me."

"How many days do you have left to live?" he asked me casually.

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener is shocked. The mean girl subconsciously touched the white strands in her pink hair, mistakenly thinking that she had not covered it well, so she turned around and came to the full-length mirror, intending to pull out the white hair.

"Let me tell you, you have the blood of 327 kinds of venomous snakes in your body. Three kinds of toxins have penetrated deep into your bone marrow, and seventeen have been integrated into your blood. It seems that your father is eager to make a breakthrough. Is the loan from the Wizard Tower due?" With his understanding of the wizard world, Xu Zhenqing easily explained the other party's dilemma.

The mean girl took a few steps back: "How did you know?" "It doesn't matter how I knew it. What matters is that I can save you." Xu Zhenqing's expression was calm. People with weaknesses are the easiest to grasp.

The mean girl closed the door, turned around and walked over, licking her lips. Her green nails scratched across his handsome face, and she said word by word, "You better not lie to me. If you do, I'll let you taste the bitterness of a thousand poisons gnawing at your heart."

"The premise is that I can survive today. My friends are waiting for me outside the door." He smelled a hint of fishy incense and chuckled.

"My name is Lilith. You're still so calm even after being poisoned by me. I'll trust you for now. I'll take care of your problems."

"Okay, Lilith."

He obtained the seal of authorization from Lilith, and even the other party's exclusive laboratory was opened to him. He prepared several potions and then gave them to the other party.

Lilith looked suspicious, sniffed the ingredients of the potion, moved closer, bit his neck, and then poured the potion into his mouth.

He glanced at the confined door. The potion took effect quickly. He took out a mechanical silver coin and threw it in the air. It landed on the front side.

Lilith carefully examined his and my body: "It seems that your potion is very useful."

"There is no medicine left now. If you want another one, come and beg me." He challenged me.

Lilith, looking pitiful, leaned close to him and said timidly, "So, my lord, what do you want Lilith to do for you?"

"Kill your father." He looked at himself being poisoned by the other party again, his mouth twitching, and came up with a plan that would benefit both parties.

Lilith's face showed a hint of malice, and she said viciously: "It's not that I don't want to do it, but my poison can't kill him at all."

"Really? I can help you prepare several colorless and odorless poisons as a mixed poison. One ingredient alone cannot work. Once it encounters a special medicine, it will take effect." He called out the Medicine Fairy Association's method of raising Gu, the Tang Sect's toxicology, and the knowledge of biology, and said confidently.

"When will we do it?"

"today."

……

At dawn, Lilith, wearing mourning clothes, accepted her father's inheritance with tears on her face and her eyes rolling around.

"You were also poisoned by a mixed poison. The potion that cured you is harmless to me, but for the red flame snake venom in you, tsk tsk tsk."

Lilith was still crying as she watched Xu Zhenqing move away some treasures from the wizard tower. She felt like her heart was being dug out.

Back in the countryside, Hollis looked at him in surprise. I could come back alive. As the legacy left by the legendary wizard, he only needed to ensure that the other party's bloodline was not cut off. If something happened, he could immediately hire a young master from the side branch.

"Hollis, I have already accepted the seal. Do you want to disobey me?"

"Old servant, I dare not."

Hollis knelt on the ground, no longer showing any airs of an elder, but looking like a loyal servant.

He nodded and said, this is the method left by the legendary wizard. The next step is to inherit the legacy, then upgrade to a legendary wizard and enter Jianmu.

　I had a lot of classes today and felt a little tired. I took a nap and couldn’t finish the second chapter. I will add another chapter and post it during the day.
