Nicole looked at Claire with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on his face. For wizards like them after the wizard system was incomplete, their greatest pursuit in this life is to complete and perfect their own Cultivation Method. Many wizards spend their entire lives to achieve this goal.

Just like Martin, in order to get the complete Cultivation Method on the other side of Mage World to fill and perfect his own Cultivation Method, he did not hesitate to design a way to travel to the world on the other side of Claire, even if he knew this The consequences of what he did might be serious. He might be discovered and offend an important trader like Claire, or he might die accidentally due to space turbulence during the transmission process, but he still did it without hesitation. This has become an obsession of wizards of their generation.

Whoever can complete the wizard's system will be the next King of Wizards recognized by all wizards.

"Are you crazy?!" Nicole shouted loudly, squirming like a bug and moved to Claire's feet. He bit Claire's trousers with his teeth and tore them hard, trying to make Claire change his mind.

"Promise him! I won't argue with you anymore. You accept the inheritance! Our Wizard World will shine again! You will become the King of Wizards who leads Wizard World!"

The spirit body of Horna opposite was still opening its hands, and said with a tolerant look that accepted all things, "She is right, accept my inheritance, you will be the next King of Wizards." While speaking, the light ball on the chest was still shining, like an extraordinarily attractive eye like the sun.

"Gulu gulu!" Claire raised his leg, put it on Nicole's shoulder and pushed it away with a little force. Nicole's body rolled on the ground a few more times.

Nicole, who stopped, was not physically hurt, but mentally he felt that he had been greatly insulted, and he looked at Claire with a look of resentment.

Without paying attention to the resentful eyes of the other party, Claire raised his feet and walked towards Horna's spirit body. He stopped after reaching a distance of about ten steps, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He chuckled and said, "You don't even put the bait, so you just fish hard?"

Horna's spirit expression also showed a trace of doubt, and asked, "What does this sentence mean?"

"You just want to trick others into willingly accepting your life without giving them any benefits?"

"I'm afraid only idiots will be fooled by your poor acting skills."

Nicole, who was tied up on the ground, raised his head: Huh???! I feel like you have something to say?

A trace of panic flashed across the face of Horna's spirit body, and he said quickly, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't understand what you are saying!"

Claire twisted the pieces of diary paper and put them between the two of them, and said, "Even if the paper is made of cotton and linen in a sealed environment with little air, its shelf life will not exceed two hundred years at most, and it will start to rot after a hundred years..."

Horna retracted his open hand and said with twinkling eyes, "What do you want to say?"

Claire smiled. He briefly read the history of Wizard World. The inheritance of wizards was cut off because of a world war that swept all wizards between various academy factions thousands of years ago. After that war, the entire Wizard World heritage was almost wiped out. The wizards in many colleges were directly exterminated, and the inheritance was incomplete at that time.

After listening to Nicole's introduction to Horna, he perfected most of Cultivation Method, so it cannot be a person from these hundreds of years, but must be a person from at least a thousand years ago. And as long as it is a relic, it must go back more than a thousand years. If it is hundreds of years old, it cannot be called a relic at all. There are many wizards like them who have lived for four to five hundred years.

Claire held the diary papers in front of him, shook them, and said with a smile, "How come this paper is so well-preserved? Although you deliberately made it old, you still used it for a while. There is no damage at all where there are words on the paper. Isn't it strange?"

"And the contents of those diaries she just read out were written by you specifically, such as "I don't have much time" and "I feel the truth is about to come out". It is obvious to lure others to think in that direction. Then you will show up at the right time and trick them into accepting your inheritance, so that you can seize their bodies and let yourself live again."

After saying that, Claire smiled at Horna's spirit body and asked, "Do you think what I said is right?"

Horna felt like a naked person being exposed by the other party. He felt very uneasy and his body could not help but tremble slightly. This was the first time he felt goosebumps after losing his body.

Horna himself has a little self-doubt. Is his arrangement really that bad? The other party could see it at a glance.

After the shock in his heart, Horna still suppressed the shock in his heart, and said calmly, "You are worrying too much, I have no such plan."

"I really want to pass on to you the perfect Cultivation Method that I finally developed."

Claire smiled, but the smile was full of the emotion of watching a play, "It's just the complete Cultivation Method. I don't care about it. I have it myself." Claire said, and then took steps towards Horna's spirit body step by step.

When Horna saw Claire walking towards him, his momentum weakened for no reason and he took half a step back. However, as soon as he took half a step back, he suddenly came to his senses.

After all, I was a legendary level wizard before! How could you be afraid of a small fifth-level wizard on the other side!

When he thought of this, Horna became brave again, and used his powerful mental power to condense a sharp mental spear in mid-air and stabbed Claire.

"Duang!" The spear hit gave Horna the feeling of hitting a wall.

"Psychic attack?" Claire smiled. After discovering that the other party was a spirit, he put a mental protection Magic Shield on himself.

If the opponent is originally a spirit creature, then Claire's simple mental defense will not work at all. But now that the opponent has switched from human body to spirit body, he is not familiar with the use of mental power. In addition, due to the lack of system, the wizards in this world are very weak in the use of mental power, and they cannot break through Claire's mental defense at all.

"How is that possible?!" Horna said in surprise, "How could your mental power be so strong?"

"It's because you are too weak." Claire stretched out his hand, and a huge palm formed by his spirit appeared and shook it towards Horna.

This is a level three mental spell attack - Psionic Hand! It is generally used to deal with some Necromancy System soul-type remnant souls, and the effect is very significant.

When the giant hand appeared, Horna wanted to escape, but when he started to move, he felt the pressure from all around him, which tightly bound him and made him unable to move at all.

Claire's hand slowly grasped it, and Horna's spirit body was gradually grasped by Claire's spiritual giant hand.

Although the wizards in this world do not pay attention to the aspect of mental power, in fact, if we count it in terms of quality and quantity, the other party was a legendary wizard after all, and Claire's mental power cannot be compared to the other party.

But Claire knows how to use mental power. The difference between him and his opponent is that Horna has a lot of strength, but he doesn't know how to use tools. Although Claire is a little weaker, he is wearing armor and carrying a machete to fight with you. No matter how strong you are, you can't beat him.

"Let me go!" Horna howled as he twisted his body.

Claire didn't pay attention to the other party's screams. Instead, he increased the strength in his hands, compressing Horna's spirit body even smaller. The spirit body has very good elasticity and will not break into half like a physical body.

As Horna howled, Claire compressed it into a spherical shape the size of a billiard ball, and finally applied a layer of spell binding to keep it in this spherical shape.

"What are you doing?!" Nicole asked, squirming on the ground.

Claire put the ball made by Horna into his pocket, turned around and said with a smile, "Exploring the ruins is of course a way to collect treasures."

"You!" Nicole doesn't know what to say now. He can't be beaten and beaten, and he can't say anything.

But at this time, there was a wave of fluctuations in the water mirror behind Claire. Claire squinted and looked back, "Let me see who is so lucky."

There was a wave of fluctuation in the water mirror, and more than one person came out of the water mirror. Except for Kelly, who was killed by Claire, the rest of the wizards who belonged to this team came in. In addition to them, there was an enemy wizard half-kneeling on the ground with his hands and feet tied. It was obvious that he had revealed the information here after being caught.

After Nicole on the ground saw the wizards, his eyes seemed to glow red, and he shouted excitedly towards Claire: "Catch him quickly! He has the spirit body of the legendary wizard Horna in his hand, which can help us improve the wizard's training system!"

The scene instantly became silent, so quiet that the breathing of all the wizards present could be clearly heard.
