Chapter 156 Assembly
"After leaving the Seven Colored Deer Market, go to the manor in the northern district of Thunder City and find a man named Dias. He will make arrangements for you!" Enzo ordered to the slaves in an indifferent tone.
"As you command, Master." The slaves replied with distracted eyes.
The mental pressure caused by the power of the soul can exert a strong shock on mortals and affect their thinking. After Enzo gives an order, the slaves will instinctively carry out the order and it is difficult to have the idea of resistance.
In this way, a group of slaves left the market and headed numbly to the manor.
"What kind of witchcraft is this? Mind control? Or mental interference?" Looking at a group of slaves who left obediently, Isaac raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Have you also studied hypnosis witchcraft?"
"Nothing, just some small tricks." Enzo smiled and shook his head.
Then, without asking any questions, Isaac took Enzo and walked deeper into the market. The two of them walked forward and soon came to the outside of a low oval black stone house.
Boom!
Isaac took a step forward and clicked the copper ring on the door of the stone house.
"What's the matter?" Creaking, the old wooden door was opened with a harsh sound, and an old dwarf, less than one meter tall, with a stooped back, appeared. He was wearing a gray linen robe and carrying an oil lamp in his hand.
"I'm here to look for the seven-colored deer." Isaac said softly.
Wizard gatherings are usually held in secluded places. In order to avoid being disturbed by mortals, in addition to some blinding methods, every apprentice who wants to participate needs to answer a password. Only after the gatekeeper confirms his identity can he be qualified to enter.
"The Seven-Colored Deer is inside. If you want to enter the gathering, please pay a magic stone!"
The old dwarf looked at the two people with his cloudy eyes. After recognizing Isaac's identity, he made a hoarse voice and said, "Welcome, distinguished Master Isaac Kendi!"
"Take us in."
Isaac didn't waste any time and threw two magic stones directly to the old dwarf. This was the fee required to participate in the gathering. The wizard apprentices each had one magic stone, and the formal wizards were free of charge.
The old dwarf turned around and led the two of them into the stone house.
He blew out the oil lamp in his hand, and the flame bloomed with a faint light. Enzo looked around and found that the space inside the stone house was very narrow, and there was a passage extending downward in the center.
"Please follow me, two guests."
The old dwarf carried the oil lamp and walked towards the passage. Following the steps paved with stones, the three of them walked all the way. After walking for about ten minutes, a gray stone door finally appeared in front of them.
"I wish you both all the best!"
The old dwarf took a step forward and pressed his palm on the stone door. After releasing an extremely weak magic power, the gray stone door slowly rose.
After doing all this, he turned around and left with the oil lamp.
"Bring this with you, let's go in too."
Later, Isaac took out two white masks from nowhere, put on one of them himself, and handed the other one to Enzo. After the two concealed their identities, they stepped into the stone door together.
There was a sudden commotion ahead, as if they were back in the academy's trading area.
Enzo looked around. This market was a man-made underground space. The rock wall above was inlaid with many luminous stones, which always projected light to the surroundings.
There are many stalls in the market, but most of the people trading here wear masks or bamboo hats, and wrap themselves tightly in gray robes.
"Our Kendi family is behind the Seven-Colored Deer Market, and it has always been controlled by Uncle Ulysses."
"In addition to the local wizards in Thunder City, the people who come here to trade, there are also some small wizard organizations or apprentices trained by families, and even the occasional wanderer." Isaac introduced in a low voice.
"So the owner here is Lord Ulysses?" Enzo's heart moved.
Ulysses Kendi is the strongest of the three wizards in Thunder City, and is also the most powerful wizard in Thunder City. The Kendi family he comes from controls the entire Leiton Kingdom. The family has a second-level wizard. He is a veteran of Crow Phantoms.
"Look at the fresh lynx eyes and the fiery ox tail."
The two of them walked past a stall, where an old man in gray robe was trying his best to sell his goods. However, Enzo only glanced at it and saw that the things he sold were all processed and inferior goods.
"Fire ox tail, ha! It should be a dyed red ox tail, right?" Isaac sneered.
After being exposed as a lie, the old man in gray robe smiled awkwardly, put away the cow tail on the stall without leaving a trace, and then continued to sell other items non-stop.
Enzo looked back and shook his head slightly.
In such a mixed wizard gathering, due to the different identities of the participants, even if the owner behind it is an official wizard, it is impossible to guarantee the authenticity of all items.
Fortunately, Enzo has a chip, and through data comparison, he can avoid stepping on thunder.
After leaving the gray-robed old man's stall, the two continued to wander around the market. Isaac was obviously not here for the first time, and he was familiar with some of the stall owners.
"Almost all the people who come here to attend the gathering are wizard apprentices."
"The largest number of them are first-level apprentices. Most of them are members trained by small families or wizard organizations. They come to the market to trade in order to obtain training resources."
"You are looking for a potion assistant, but I know someone."
As Isaac spoke, he led Enzo to the depths of the market. After passing through several stalls selling various goods, they came to a stall full of bottles and jars.
The owner of this stall was an old witch.
She wore an old-fashioned pointed wizard hat on her head, her old face was full of wrinkles, and she was wearing a shabby gray robe, giving people a feeling of old age, only a pair of turbid eyes were shining.
"Good day, senior sister Sarah." Isaac saluted the old witch with his hands on his chest.
"Senior sister? Could it be..." Enzo's eyes moved.
"You guessed right. Senior Sarah is the same as you and me. We are both wizard apprentices from the Crow Phantom Academy." Isaac smiled and said, "But she left the academy more than ten years ago and is now a third-level apprentice."
"Long time no see, little Isaac."
The old witch Sarah narrowed her eyes, looked at Isaac for a moment, and finally stopped at Enzo, laughing strangely, "Hehe, a young second-level apprentice, is she also a member of the academy?"
"Hello, senior Sarah, my name is Enzo." Enzo said politely.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the old witch Sarah. From her, Enzo could feel a magical fluctuation belonging to a third-level apprentice, but it seemed extremely weak, like a candle swaying in the cold wind, as if it could go out at any time.
