Chapter 212 Magicians Association

  【Unnamed Clothing Store】

When Yi Chen led Zed downstairs, Mr. Ivan, who was making a new model, immediately smelled a strong, mysterious and powerful smell of corpse.

“Who is the person with William? Why did he take the initiative to take him to the important [secret room]? From outsiders’ perspective, only Chamberson and I should know.

Is that guy brainwashed or coerced? "

Considering the potential risks, Ivan paused his model creation and put on a two-color suit. His completely burnt right face was covered with half a mask. He walked towards the secret room next door with a special cane in his right hand.

When he went down to the basement along the secret passage hidden between the warehouses, Yi Chen was spying on the spherical relic and did not notice his arrival.

Zed, who was also in the basement, had removed his mask, and his face with a black bandage covering his eyes was facing him.

 Such an image reminded Ivan of a familiar name immediately.

"Hogney Zed~ Really? I heard that old man Chamberson mentioned you often... I didn't expect that the organization actually relaxed its restrictions on you and allowed you to leave the college and go out for activities?"

Zed did not answer, but formed a specific image of Ivan in his mind through his unique physical perception, which was even more transparent than the naked eye.

 The image captured by perception made Zed tightly locked,

 Because he found that the entire right half of the opponent's body was in a state of "soul burning", being constantly eroded by an eternal cursed flame.

"Your right half is in terrible condition, but you can actually move like a normal person in this state... through some kind of 'puppetry' method, right? Are those corpse wax puppets above all your creations?"

Ivan didn’t mean to hide anything and directly explained the condition of his right body.

"In the first ten years, I had hundreds of thoughts of committing suicide. But slowly, I accepted this indelible burning curse, turned it into a part of my body, and even improved my tailoring skills. Go up one level.

Making models on a daily basis can distract my attention and reduce the pain caused by burning. When I create the most perfect model, I can transfer my soul and get rid of the erosion of the curse. "

 Speaking of this, Ivan slowly walked down the steps and reached out to touch Zed's clothes.

“Do you seem to have not maintained [clothing] for decades? It’s no wonder that the conditions of being imprisoned in the academy are restricted, and there are not many tailors in the organization who dare to repair your clothing in private.

The workmanship of your clothing itself is also relatively average, and it does not fully fit your body, or it is not worthy of your body.

If you don’t mind, you can come to my tailor shop to help you make some modifications. "

Zed also seemed very gentlemanly and declined politely, "Thank you very much, but I may not have enough time to go out. I only have forty-four minutes left and I have to rush back."

“The time is indeed a bit short, but it can help you measure your body data in advance. Next time you have a chance to come out, you can directly enter the revision step.”

"All right."

Ivan is not enthusiastic, but he has never seen a body like Zed's. The touch just now allowed him to peek into a new realm of the body.

  It is not only a self-pursuit, but also the nature of being a tailor.

 In other words, you can get inspiration for making perfect models from Zed's body.

 …

 Half an hour passed.

Yi Chen still couldn't get any information from between the spheres, so he reluctantly pulled his eyes away, and retracted the blade... When he turned around to look, he was the only one left in the basement.

“Teacher Zed, has he gone back early? That’s right. If it’s his first time going out, it’s better to go back early. The college may give him more free time in the future.”

 When the relics are put back into the gold box, the box returns to its original square shape, making it easy to carry.

“It’s already a little late today. Let’s wait until tomorrow to see the principal.”

 Exit the secret room and lock the rolling shutter door.

Yichen lowered the brim of his hat, picked up his suitcase, and hurried to the elevator leading to the upper street.

Just before the elevator was about to close, a white figure squeezed up in an instant, holding a bag with a strange fragrance in his hand.

 “Isn’t this William? What a coincidence!”

The white figure happened to correspond to the white-robed Lotson, greeting him with a sunny smile on his face.

 “Yeah.” Yi Chen simply responded.

Although he seemed to be not interested in Lotson, Yi Chen still used Little Putao's dark eyes to secretly observe him, and the "sense of disobedience" that existed in him only increased instead of decreasing.

There is a vague feeling that the two did not meet by chance at all, but an 'accidental encounter' deliberately created by Lotson.

“William, are you free tonight? Do you want to go to the Magicians Association with me? I happen to be going there to deliver a batch of special materials.”

With a friendly look on his face, Lotson deliberately raised the bag in his hand and pointed at it emphatically.

 In the past, Yi Chen would have refused.

 But I happen to be free tonight, and my physical condition has exceeded its limit, so my formal meeting with the principal will have to wait until tomorrow.

Most importantly, Yi Chen himself was also curious about whether there was anything wrong with the white-haired man in front of him.

 “Lead the way.”

  【Magician Association】

 Gentlemen have various occupations, among which some groups with similar occupations and abilities are small and medium-sized gatherings established with the authorization of the organization in order to enhance the exchange of experiences between each other.

 Among them, the Magician Association ranks among the top four among all assembly groups, mainly because of its large membership base and many professions linked to magic.

For example, Professor Chamberson is good at wind magic.

Yichen's original plant disease can also be classified as magic, and the death that has just been awakened and has not yet been controlled can also be considered a category of magic.

The main building corresponding to the Magicians Association occupies a large area in the street area. The outside looks like a medieval school and is open all day long.

  There are discussion rooms for various types of magic, a potion supply room and a library inside. The books hidden in it are donated by members who share their insights and knowledge. Occasionally, some bosses will even put valuable magic books in it for free.

The main entrance of the building corresponds to the spacious reception hall, where various candles float in the air under the influence of gravity magic. Some magic-related organizational tasks will flow here in advance, and members have priority in receiving tasks.

 After wandering around with Lotson, Yi Chen really had some thoughts about joining the association.

“Isn’t it nice here? William, you are also [intelligent]-oriented and have amazing talents. You can submit an application to become our preliminary member now.

 Once you graduate from the academy, you can become a full-time employee immediately and enjoy all the rights here. "

“Let’s wait until graduation. Thank you Lotson.”

Seeing that Yi Chen was about to leave, Lotson gently tapped his shoulder and pointed to the window on the side of the hall:

“You’re here, why don’t you go and see if there are any suitable magic tasks.

Maybe we can get some magic raw materials that suit us, which can be used to make spell-casting tools, and may even assist us in our future limit breakthroughs.

If my guess is correct, William, you are already preparing to push the limits recently, right? "

"OK."

Yi Chen also wanted to see what the difference was between the tasks assigned to the Magicians Association in advance.

 A member who was leading the class today was responsible for receiving the two of them and handed them a booklet, in which all the tasks that had not been taken over in the past three days were recorded.

Generally speaking, tasks will be updated simultaneously at eight o'clock in the morning, and most of the "cost-effective" tasks will be picked up in the morning.

 The remaining tasks have low cost performance, are either unknown or unstable, and often go untouched and eventually end up in the Gentlemen’s Hall.

Browsing the first part of the booklet, Yi Chen was slightly disappointed. The so-called priority tasks of the Magician Association were only related to task targets, areas and magic elements.

 The tasks are basically the same as those in the Gentlemen's Hall, and some tasks are even very frustrating.

 When you turn to the last page,

 A limited-time exclusive is about to end, and the legacy that will be sent to the Gentlemen's Hall tomorrow morning attracts Yi Chen's eyes.

The difficulty of reaching five stars plus the question mark element, as well as the word ‘death’ mentioned many times, constantly stimulated Yi Chen’s interest.
