Transmigration Warlock

"Terribly sorry."

Wa Li Duo refused decisively. "We can't reveal that..."

"We can't reveal it at least before we set off, since it's a very precious item with a high level of secrecy."

Ji Qiu frowned.

He didn't really like the feeling of being led around.

It was as if a hand was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

Considering that the Sulfur Merchant Guild is very likely backed by Lord Xia Qirui himself.

This sudden "Escort Mission" takes on many other meanings.

It's a pity.

He figured the chances of finding Mr. Z through normal means were extremely low.

Now that things have come to this, we can only feign compliance.

"All right."

When will you arrange for me to meet him?

Ji Qiu said frankly.

"The Escort Mission will begin at dawn four days from now. A day before, we will gather all the temporarily hired guards together for a meeting, so that everyone can get to know each other."

Wa Li Duo chuckled and said, "If that's the case, you'll be able to see Mr. Z in three days..."

Ji Qiu asked thoughtfully, "You found him too?"

Wa Li Duo nodded and said:

"That's true, otherwise we wouldn't be so confident in inviting you..."

"We will definitely keep our promise to arrange a private meeting for you, but we need to warn you that Mr. Z is a very arrogant young man. We know very little about him, and when he is unwilling to communicate with you, he will pretend that he does not understand our language at all..."

"So during your meeting, please do not provoke him. Once you realize that the other party seems not to understand what you are saying, it basically means the end of the meeting."

"Of course, if you really need to talk to him about something, don't rush. After all, he will complete the Escort Mission, and you'll have plenty of time and opportunities to talk along the way..."

Having said all that...

Wa Li Duo left Ji Qiu a room key and a formal invitation.

The room key is for a room at the Official Posthouse Xia Qirui Castle.

You can check in for free at any time with your room key.

Food is 30% off.

The invitation contained information about the Escort Mission.

Most of the Wa Li Duo have already been explained.

The rest are mostly risk warnings and details.

Ji Qiu accepted the gifts.

The two then parted ways.

After leaving.

Ji Qiu was still pondering the oddities behind the Sulfur Merchant Guild' Escort Mission.

"There's always this feeling that I'm being completely controlled by someone..."

"I wonder if Lord Roger is spying on us?"

Ji Qiu gave a bitter smile.

Unfortunately, Roger remained silent throughout.

He could only leave silently.

Fortunately.

I don't have to sleep under the city gate tonight.

This was undoubtedly good news for Ji Qiu, who was burdened with worries.

Three days later.

Night.

The third basement level of the Official Posthouse at Xia Qirui Castle.

Inside a spacious hall with a sacred atmosphere.

The candlelight flickered.

The singing was melodious.

More than thirty powerful guards moved about.

Because it was a farewell reception.

Therefore, most people wear everyday clothes.

Ji Qiu observed.

The guards of the Sulfur Merchant Guild are all Greater Demon.

They were large and strong.

His eyes were fierce.

Although he was drinking.

However, the various subconscious reflexes are enough to prove that these Greater Demons are all veterans with rich combat experience.

They looked very happy.

A farewell banquet would naturally feature a large quantity of fine wines.

There are also women and men.

These simple elements were enough to satisfy the Greater Demon.

Very soon.

The hall was filled with an atmosphere of debauchery.

A corner of the hall.

Wa Li Duo, who arrived late, said apologetically to Ji Qiu:

"I'm sorry I'm late."

"Mr. Z seems very reluctant to attend these kinds of parties, but I've managed to get him out here. Now it's just the two of you..."

After saying that.

He turned and left, snapping his fingers.

The demons in the vicinity have all been driven away.

Only Ji Qiu and another handsome young man were left staring at each other.

Ji Qiu didn't rush to speak.

He silently observed Z.

This guy was nothing like the "Transmigration Warlock" he had imagined—

He had blond hair.

Her face was excessively fair.

She has a pretty good figure.

The type who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique underneath...

But how could this guy be a top-tier spellcaster? Ji Qiu couldn't sense any etheric power from him!

Very soon.

Ji Qiu noticed this again.

Besides his outstanding appearance, Z also has other advantages.

What's most eye-catching are the wrist guards on his two hands!

Those two wristbands are way too big.

It looks very heavy.

At first glance, it could easily be mistaken for a control device for slaves.

But upon closer inspection...

Ji Qiu, however, sensed the magical aura of an explosion emanating from those wristbands!

"Those wristbands are his spellcasting medium?"

Ji Qiu was a little lost in thought.

However, he soon realized that staring at people like that was impolite.

He greeted her with a smile:

"Hello."

"I am Tata ... I come from another world, just like you..."

Z glanced at him lightly.

He then said disdainfully:

"Your name isn't Tata, your name is Ji Qiu."

"You are completely different from me. You are just from another dimension of this world, while I am a true Transmigration Warlock."

Ji Qiu was not angry.

On the one hand, he had already prepared himself mentally.

Wa Li Duo has repeatedly hinted at how infuriating this Z is.

On the other hand, he was distracted by Z's voice and words.

How did he know my real name?

Ji Qiu's heart trembled.

"And his voice is so strange, it's like he really doesn't understand Common Language, but is translating it using magic..."

It seemed that they had noticed Ji Qiu's change in mindset.

Z sneered, "That demon is utterly foolish, actually thinking that a nobody like you has the ability to escort such a monster..."

"Let me give you a piece of advice."

"For you, leaving as soon as possible is the best course of action."

Ji Qiu was slightly annoyed.

But he restrained himself.

Instead, she went along with what the other person was saying:

"Do you know the details of the Escort Mission?"

Z responded casually:

"Of course I know..."

"But why should I tell you?"

"Damn it, weren't there supposed to be lots of big-breasted Succubus today? I haven't seen a single one. They're all fakes mixed up with inferior goods. Damn it, that swindler Wa Li Duo actually brought in humans with Succubus blood to pass off as genuine..."

Listening to the other person's complaints.

Ji Qiu found it increasingly strange.

Do you like Succubus?

He asked.

Z glared at him. "Of course, what man wouldn't like that?"

"Or do you have a top-tier Succubus at home?"

"If so, then I can be your friend."

His smile became somewhat strange.

Ji Qiu coughed and said, "I didn't..."

"Then what the hell are you talking about!"

Z said disappointedly:

"Wa Li Duo lied to me, saying you might be a girl disguised as a boy, which is why I came here!"

"Now it seems that fat demon really deserves to be torn to pieces!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Ji Qiu, the Martial Artist was just sent out by the unscrupulous sect leader at level 149 to do trial work..."

Ji Qiu was startled again.

He was just about to make a move.

But in that instant.

His belt wrapped around him even faster! Snap! The belt came off Ji Qiu's waist.

It wrapped tightly around Z's arms and chest.

"What kind of game is this?"

Z was taken aback.

He looked at Ji Qiu, who was pulling up his pants.

His eyes were just about to blaze with anger.

It can happen in an instant.

He showed delight:

"So you had other people with you!"

"This aura..."

"Ah, I understand. Tell Wa Li Duo I'm not taking the Escort Mission tomorrow!"

As he spoke.

A bright light burst forth from his right wrist guard.

Another snap.

The belt hit the ground.

Z's figure disappeared in the white light.

Before Ji Qiu could react...

Roger's voice seemed to echo in his ears:

"You don't need to worry about Z's matter, I'll handle it."

"Besides..."

"Remember to wrap your belt."

Demon Dragon Abyss.

Roger tried to remain calm as he looked at the man who had suddenly appeared before him.

The Z at this moment is completely different from the arrogant LSP that Ji Qiu saw before.

Roger sensed an aura in Z that was remarkably similar to his own.

That aura.

You can't possess it without going through thousands of battles.

That's the kind of aura unique to top-tier Adventurers!

"I never imagined there was Multi-Universe Lifeform in more than half of this universe."

Z laughed easily, "Seeing you is like seeing my past self."

"You don't belong to this universe either, do you?"

Roger was startled.

But he nodded calmly:

"Just like you."

Z adjusted the wristband.

Then he calmly said, "Let me introduce myself. My Zhang Feng."

"I am a time traveler. Later, after many years of hard work and perseverance, I became a professional Transmigration Warlock. Unfortunately, I messed up during my last time travel. I was originally looking for a way home, but for some reason, I inexplicably ended up in this universe..."

"I was quite confused before, but now I understand. Someone pulled me here..."

Roger replied, "You mean me?"

"That's right, there's always a powerful attraction between Multi-Universe Lifeform..."

Zhang Feng stated definitively:

"After my failed time travel, I could have randomly fallen into one of the nearby universes, but because of your existence, I came here."

"From that moment on, it was destined that we would meet sooner or later, just like this time when you didn't go out, but only sent your followers out for a stroll, yet you still ran into me."

"This is the amazing gravitational pull between Multi-Universe Lifeform."

Roger nodded.

The moment I met Zhang Feng.

He also felt that enlightenment.

Perhaps the familiar aura he felt was not that of Adventurers.

Rather, it is the resonance between Multi-Universe Lifeform.

"But this isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Zhang Feng said nonchalantly:

"This proves that my initial time travel formula was correct in general direction. This universe is not far from my hometown. I just need to try time travel a few more times."

Roger asked:

"Your hometown? May I ask if your hometown has any special name?"

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Are you suggesting that we might be from the same hometown?"

"Although I also think that kind of fate is wonderful, the truth is that it's absolutely impossible!"

"A single universe can only have one Multi-Universe Lifeform at the same time."

"My home planet is called Azure Blue. You wouldn't happen to have that name too, would you?"

Roger breathed a sigh of relief.

He shook his head.

I felt somewhat disappointed.

"You came to see me for more than just these things, didn't you?"

Roger stared at Zhang Feng.

The latter frankly stated:

"I need your help."

"You seem to have mastered a large part of the planetary laws. Although they are not the highest-level cosmic laws, they can provide me with great assistance in terms of travel."

"Huh? You actually used a bug in the laws to make yourself immune to spells? That's amazing, too bad I can't learn it..."

He looked at Roger with great interest.

That gaze was exactly like the Frankenstein's monster in Roger's memory...

He seemed to want to dissect Roger's body and experiment on it!

"By sheer chance."

Even with Zhang Feng's enthusiastic attitude.

Roger remained sufficiently cautious.

He knew the importance of speaking less to avoid making mistakes.

"That's still pretty impressive."

"A monster like you is the natural enemy of us mages! In the universe I traveled to, someone like you would have been wiped out ten thousand times before you even got to power!"

Zhang Feng sighed.

Roger was very interested in Zhang Feng's experiences.

Then I guided him to continue speaking:

"What was the universe you traveled to like?"

Zhang Feng was quite generous. "The universe is just like that. It might be a little novel at first, but you'll get used to it after wearing it a few times!"

"However, our world is an old universe that has experienced the magic well, so the native mages that are common in your world have become extinct in our world."

"Look, this is the medium we use to cast spells, the Demon Heart!"

As he spoke.

He immediately removed the wrist guard from his left hand.

Roger looked closely.

On his excessively pale left wrist.

There is a slight bulge.

The raised part is still throbbing.

It looks like a heart! This patch of skin is also a pale purple color.

It looks a bit strange.

"The Magic Dry Well is a period of decline that every universe goes through."

Zhang Feng further explained:

"After this process, all the magical power in the universe will sink into the dark dimension, inaccessible to ordinary beings. At that point, the original mages will naturally become extinct. Fortunately, we have developed the 'Artificial Magic Core'!"

"Any ordinary person who has Artificial Magic Core transplanted—like the one on my wrist—will possess the ability to cast spells. Of course, casting skills, spell power, casting speed, and spell reserves are closely related to the level of the demonic heart and are also linked to the individual's strength..."

"However, this universe doesn't need such a thing right now."

He chuckled as he put the wristband back on, "While I may not have the talent to become a native mage, I can still sense the terrifying amount of magical energy here..."

Roger nodded thoughtfully.

So those wristbands were just for protection? After all, according to Zhang Feng...

After the Artificial Magic Core was transplanted.

Ordinary people can also become top-tier mages.

But the importance of the Demon Heart surpasses everything.

Once destroyed.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

"This is interesting."

Roger commented.

"What is this..."

Zhang Feng shook his head and said, "Different universes have different wonders, and the truly interesting things are still on the way!"

Immediately.

He looked at Roger with some regret:

"You are carrying too much on your shoulders."

"That won't make you happy..."

Roger pondered for a moment and said, "One day, I will unload all my burdens."

"It's difficult."

Zhang Feng commented. "Once you have attachments, all the familiar and dear people will become obstacles for you when you want to leave."

"Back then, in the universe I traveled to, I established an unprecedented Combat Mage Empire. My authority and power reached their limit, my prestige spread throughout the entire universe, and everyone greeted me with smiles."

"But as I began to prepare to find my way home, my once loyal subordinates and obedient harem all began to show subtle changes..."

"Nobody wants me to leave."

"Because they have become accustomed to living under the protection of their guardian deity."

"But they never considered whether their guardians would get tired, whether they would have their own pursuits, or whether... they would also yearn for freedom."
