The Great Wizard's Ambition

Li Wei didn't care, after all, he wasn't the city lord to begin with. Strictly speaking, the Destroyer's City wasn't a town, and nobody knew it belonged to him. Looking around, Li Wei noticed that there were quite a few people sitting there, probably all attendants of the various city lords.

The fat man casually sat down in the chair, grabbed the only piece of roasted meat on the table, and stuffed it into his mouth. The others at the table immediately looked rather unpleasant, thinking to themselves that this guy had no manners. But the fat man didn't care what they thought. Others might not know, but the fat man knew perfectly well that, in his own words, their boss was an S-level super expert, so naturally he had to be arrogant to the end.

"Boss, what kind of crappy Wizard City is this? Why are they so arrogant? I haven't even seen the great wizard show up. They've only sent some small fry to entertain us. Why don't we flip the table and cause trouble?" The fat man, looking every bit the thug, shouted loudly, immediately drawing the attention of everyone around him.

The fat man, however, paid no heed, his thick skin proving undeniably advantageous. Of course, he dared to openly rant like this only because he was instructed by Li Wei; otherwise, how could a mere B1-level reincarnator like him cause such a ruckus here? Soon, his clamor frightened the surrounding people away, who secretly wondered where this madman came from, daring to say such things in Wizard City —he was simply courting death.

The guards standing around the hall walked over with serious expressions.

Li Wei glanced at the group and sneered; this was exactly the result he wanted. This time, they were targeting him with a provocative mentality. If the Grand Wizard was well-mannered, he would refrain from causing trouble for now; otherwise, he would simply occupy the level 5 town.

Before the guards could even reach them, they were stopped by a man— the Spellcaster Cohen.

"Fatty, stop acting. That guy probably got orders from the Great Wizard and won't cause us trouble in this setting," Li Wei said to Fatty, his ears twitching as he overheard the whispered words of the Spellcaster Cohen to the guards.

The latter responded with an "oh," and then stopped shouting, but continued eating.

Those who had initially come to watch the spectacle were now filled with disappointment, while inwardly marveling at how easy it had become for Wizard City become so accommodating? They're cursing right under our noses, yet they don't utter a single word. It's truly unbelievable.

Some people who seemed to know the inside story stared at the fat man with eyes that looked as if he were already dead. As for what they were thinking, no one else knew but themselves.

As more groups of people entered, the hall was packed, with only one exception: Li Wei's table. It was empty, with only Li Wei, Fatty, and Green Conch.

After waiting a while, the doors around the hall were closed, and the previously noisy hall became quiet.

Everyone knew that the main character was coming.

Sure enough, from a side door, the great wizard emerged, clad in a black and red wizard's robe, still clutching the ancient Ancient Jade Staff that resembled a work of art. His appearance immediately drew everyone's attention.

The Grand Wizard strode forward, a meaningful smile on his face, nodding in greeting to everyone, displaying a truly impressive air. But when his gaze swept over Li Wei, a sudden glint of light flashed in his eyes, then vanished without a trace. He then walked to the central table, reserved for level 4 city lords, and said, "Gentlemen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Welcome to Wizard City."

"I invited everyone here today because I really wanted to get together with you all. As you all know, after the collapse of the Old World, we in the New World are each governing our own affairs. In fact, each town is a small country, and for our own development, we must communicate with each other. This is one of my purposes..."

He glanced at everyone's reactions and continued, "Another purpose, which also concerns everyone's vital interests..."

The high wizard paused halfway through his speech, leaving everyone below eager to hear what this so-called important matter concerning their personal interests was.

"This is a secret that most people don't know, and I only learned it by chance: there are many other worlds beyond our own. You might not understand what I mean by that, so I've prepared something for you."

As he spoke, he gestured to Spellcaster Cohen behind him. Cohen nodded and clapped his hands, and immediately a dozen strong men pushed several cages covered with large black cloths into the hall.

These dozen or so men were tall and strong; they were quite formidable for ordinary people. However, the hall was filled with super experts. Although these men were muscular, they didn't dare to breathe loudly at the moment. To put it bluntly, any one of them could easily kill them.

After these people withdrew, the High Wizard walked to a huge cage and looked around at everyone. "The world outside our world is called a Starfield. There are many Starfields, and each Starfield has intelligent beings like us humans. They have their own civilizations, languages, religions, and beliefs. Of course, in their world, there are also Shadow Street..."

As he spoke, he pulled off the black cloth beside him, revealing what was inside the cage.

Upon seeing this, everyone in the hall gasped in surprise.

What is this?

"My God, it's watching us! I've never seen such a creature before!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but Zheng Yutong's expression changed when she saw what was inside the cage.

Because she had seen it before.

Li Wei was equally surprised; the creature in the cage was actually an 'Kai Star'.

Those creatures, with skin like armor, possess exceptional strength and defense, and can change the form of their armor to fight. Li Wei is very familiar with these Kai Star people; in fact, he was the Destroyer of Kai Star. After he killed the Kai Star Destroyer, the Kai Star Royal Family prince, 'Red Armor,' demanded that he become the Destroyer of their star field. However, due to a conflict with the Blood Clan Star Domain, Li Wei temporarily closed the star field teleportation array, thus losing contact with the Kai Star people. Unexpectedly, he encountered one here.

The question is, since the interstellar teleportation array has been shut down, how did the Grand Wizard capture this Kai Star person?

After thinking about it for a moment, Li Wei suddenly realized that it must be Kai Star person who had been left here through the teleportation array.

The high wizard was pleased with everyone's expressions, but continued, "This is an alien. They possess exoskeletons that are beyond our imagination. Even a newborn infant can easily kill a human adult."

Looking at the sturdy shell and towering figure of the Kai Star people in the cage, everyone in the hall agreed with what the Great Wizard had said.

"However, I must remind everyone that the star system where this alien lives is only the lowest level star system. I want to tell you that star systems are also divided into levels, ranging from level 1 to level 7. The star system where this armored alien lives... should be of a similar level to ours. But even creatures from such a low-level star system can completely contend with our B-level powerhouses."

Even without the Grand Wizard's instruction, many of those present possessed the Insight Technique, and could discern the fighting strength of the Kai Star people in the cage with just a glance.

B2 level

Although this is not the highest combat strength at present, there are quite a few B1-level among the reincarnators present, and B1-level is already a high-level combat strength in every town.

At this moment, the lord of a level 4 town stood up and asked the great wizard, "Great Wizard, what are those other cages filled with?"

The great wizard chuckled, walked over, and tore off the black cloth covering each cage.

Immediately, gasps of surprise erupted again in the hall.

In each cage, there was a strangely shaped creature. Some had two heads, making it clear that one was male and the other female. Others didn't even have a basic human form; they were just giant fleshy worms.

"As you can see, these are intelligent beings from other star systems. I've been searching for them for the past few months and have only managed to capture a few. However... very few people know about the existence of star systems. I'm afraid none of you here know anything about this, right?"

For a moment, all the city lords looked embarrassed. Indeed, most of them were completely unaware of this; they simply continued to complete missions and develop their towns. Even when they encountered some strange-looking creatures, they only thought they were wild monsters.

Finally, someone asked a crucial question.

"How did these people from another planet get here?"

After hearing this, Li Wei also wanted to know how the Grand Wizard would answer, since only he himself probably knew the real answer to this question.

"It's a teleportation array. Do you all remember the teleportation array from the Illusion Realm? It's similar to that one, but for some reason, the teleportation array I discovered has been temporarily sealed by some force and cannot be used. This is why we can't get out, and others can't get in. As for those I captured, they are probably aliens from another planet who came here before the teleportation array was sealed."

Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, the high wizard knew it was time to lay his cards on the table.

"However, the power of the teleportation array is weakening and will eventually fail. At that time, a large number of aliens will use it to arrive here. Now, everyone knows that many other worlds exist beyond ours, and they are eyeing our world covetously. After much consideration, I believe that one person alone cannot possibly contend with those powerful aliens. Therefore, I think it is necessary to form an Alliance. Once everyone becomes a member of this Alliance, we can share a common enemy and advance and retreat together. If powerful aliens do attack, we can help each other. If we remain scattered like before, we will eventually perish."

Form Alliance?

For a moment, the city lords in the hall all had different expressions. The smarter ones had already guessed the great wizard's thoughts, while Li Wei, sitting in the back, sneered a few times.

Seeing this, the fat man beside him asked in confusion, "Boss, what are you laughing at? I think this is a great idea. Forming Alliance and uniting the power of a hundred cities will give us the strength to fight back even if those aliens attack."

Li Wei glanced at him and said, "What do you know? This great wizard's real purpose is not to fight against the people of the alien world and form Alliance. It's not that he's so ambitious that he wants to gain the greatest power. As for this information, he probably heard it from Liu Yuchen. It's just that Liu Yuchen probably didn't tell him about the Destroyer. Otherwise, he would know that all of this is in vain."

In this star field, the Destroyer possesses the Black Paper is the true king of this star field, because only the Destroyer can learn the 'Devouring' ability.

This ability strengthens as the Destroyer's combat power increases. For example, Li Wei, if he were to unleash his Devouring ability at full power, could instantly devour everyone in the hall. However, Li Wei has a question that has always bothered him: while the Devouring ability is powerful, it's at most just a relatively powerful offensive skill. In fact, many S-rank skills are far more powerful than it. So why is it considered a unique skill of the Destroyer?

While Li Wei was pondering, the Grand Wizard continued to urge the crowd on. Some were tempted, while others smiled but remained silent. Just like the Daoist, who simply stroked his beard and closed his eyes to meditate.

After a morning of persuasion, the Grand Wizard had gained a considerable number of supporters, as well as many opponents, with most remaining neutral. In reality, the Grand Wizard had not achieved the results he desired, so his expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he announced that the Alliance would be discussed again in the afternoon.

Li Wei, Fatty, and the others came out of the hall and decided to take a stroll around Wizard City.

As for Green Conch, she stayed to accompany Zheng Yutong. The Grand Wizard decided to host a separate banquet at noon for the city lords of towns of level 4 and above. Li Wei was afraid that the other party might have some underhanded tricks, so he left Green Conch behind. With this S1 level expert around, the Grand Wizard couldn't cause any trouble.

This level 5 town is indeed quite large, comparable to some cities in the Old World. Although it lacks towering buildings and wide streets, it has densely packed houses and maze-like alleyways, making it extremely lively.

The people living here are all from the Old World, Europeans, with fair skin, tall women, and muscular men, exuding exotic charm. In the Old World, given Li Wei's status, he basically had no opportunity to go abroad, so seeing this town with its strong exotic atmosphere greatly piqued his interest. As for the fat man, his eyes never left the beautiful women passing by.

"Boss, look at that one, she's absolutely gorgeous! Her skin is so smooth, you could probably squeeze milk out of it!" the fat man exclaimed, staring at a woman in a floral plaid dress in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, Li Wei indeed saw a very beautiful white woman with long blonde hair, a small face, long limbs, and, most strikingly, fair skin. She was truly a stunning sight.

What excited the fat man even more was that the beautiful woman glanced at him, gave him a flirtatious wink, and then swayed her hips as she walked over.

"Young men, you look like guests from afar. Would you like to have some fun here?" the woman said with a smile, which made the fat man stare wide-eyed.

Li Wei just watched with a smile, without saying a word. The fat man suddenly became bolder and whispered, "What's the price?"

Upon hearing this familiar question, Li Wei knew that the fat man was no stranger to this kind of "buying sex." In fact, in the New World, such things were commonplace. After all, to survive, men could sell their physical labor for food, while women had their own ways.

A woman's greatest asset is her body. Especially for those women who are beautiful and attractive, their asset is even greater. Li Wei knew that in their Three Heroes City, there were many women engaged in this profession, and some families even relied entirely on the women in their families selling their bodies to survive.

Li Wei wouldn't say he liked these kinds of women, but he certainly wouldn't despise them. Compared to some people who do heinous things, they are quite virtuous.

The white woman smiled as she heard the fat man's words, "It's 30 magic crystals per person per time, but if you two want to play together, 50 magic crystals will be enough." As she spoke, she gave Li Wei a flirtatious glance.

Li Wei could sense that the woman's gaze had lingered on his chest for a few seconds.

The fat man chuckled, stealing a glance at Li Wei. He knew this wasn't a casual visit; his boss must have a purpose in coming to Wizard City. As a subordinate, he couldn't let a woman ruin things. So, he put on a stern face and said to the white woman, "Too expensive. I think we should pass."

The white woman's expression changed slightly, but she said in a coquettish voice, "This price isn't expensive at all. You Julie ask around; in this area, money doesn't buy you anything. Countless men come to me with their wallets, but I don't even bother to look at them... Think it over again, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. My skills are enough to melt any man's heart."

As she spoke, Julie pulled down her clothes, revealing her fair, jade-like shoulders and the clear cleavage on her chest. Li Wei, standing nearby, could clearly hear the fat man swallowing hard after seeing this 'worldly beauty'.

After hesitating for a moment, the fat man steeled himself and said, "I think we should forget about it..."

"Wait a minute!" Before the fat man could finish speaking, Li Wei interrupted, "You've come all this way, wouldn't it be a waste not to enjoy this exotic scenery? Humans are all about food and sex, Fatty, don't refuse such a good deal. I'll pay for the magic crystals for you."

As he spoke, he indeed took out a handful of magic crystals and handed them to Julie.

The latter took the magic crystal and looked at Li Wei with some surprise, clearly not expecting that this handsome young man was also a lecher, unlike the fat man.

The fat man cheered and asked Julie to lead them to the 'transaction location'. Julie, of course, knew what was going on and turned to lead Li Wei and the other man into a small alley.

Wizard City has countless alleyways, and after a few twists and turns, the noisy voices disappeared, indicating that we had arrived at a deserted place.

Julie walked up to a wooden house, turned around and called to Li Wei and the other man, then swayed her sexy waist as she walked into the house.

The fat man, his face flushed and neck red, tried to follow him in, but Li Wei pulled him back.
