  Chapter 16: Dark Witch Land

  As soon as old Wells opened his mouth, Ronan was stunned.

  He subconsciously looked towards the small figure crying towards the flames in the center of the clearing.

  Then he shook his head.

  "Don't be ridiculous..I'm still a child myself."

  Old Wells explained: "In fact, you don't need to take care of her. Just keep her with you. If you are willing, you will get half of the inheritance left by Potter..."

  Ronan thought about it and shook his head.

  "never mind."

  Old Wells seemed to have expected this result and was not surprised. He just said "ah" softly and was about to walk towards the next person.

  Ronan's eyes moved slightly and he called old Wells to stop.

  "How did Potter die?"

  Ronan was curious about this.

  Potter's body did not seem to have any obvious external injuries. Judging from his tragic death, it seemed that he had died suddenly of some acute illness. But what kind of disease could take the life of an apprentice wizard so quickly?

  "It looks like a curse spell. Potter must have offended someone he shouldn't have offended."

  Old Wellston stopped and said in a low voice: "I suspect that there may be wizards from the Dark Land coming here. Anyway, you should be more careful during this period of time."

  Ronan was startled and just when he was about to pull old Wells to ask him a few more questions, the other party had already walked away.

  "Curse spell, black witch..."

  Ronan silently repeated the two words mentioned by old Wells, and his expression gradually became solemn.

  Although he was a rookie in the wizarding world, he had heard of the legends of the Dark Wizarding Land.

  The Black Witch Land does not refer to a specific place, but is a general term for the gathering place of black robed wizards.

  Like most things in the world, wizards can be divided into good and evil.

  The black-robed wizards represent the evil camp among wizards. They specialize in spells of darkness, undeadness, and curse, and their personalities are much more cruel and weird than those of ordinary wizards.

  The opposite of the black robes are the white robes, and Hoddam is a gathering place for gray robe wizards between the two, and its camp is closer to neutral.

  "Are the curse spells in the Black Witch Land so terrible?"

  Ronan looked at the blazing flames in the open space in front of him, and recalled Potter's hideous and twisted death in his mind. It was hard to imagine what kind of torture and pain Potter had experienced before his death.

  If such a curse fell on him,

  Ronan suddenly felt a chill rising from his back and dared not think any further.

  At this time, a figure walked out of the crowd and walked towards the little girl Cheryl who was sitting beside the fire.

  Ronan unexpectedly discovered that it was the wizard girl who lived by the tree spring.

  The girl was still dressed in her usual style, wrapped in a loose black robe, with thick bangs covering most of her face, making it difficult to tell whether she was fat or thin, or beautiful or ugly.

  She walked to Cheryl, stretched out a hand and gently stroked Cheryl's head, chanting softly, and circles of faint white light emerged from her palms.

  It must be some kind of magic to soothe the soul. Cheryl's crying gradually calmed down under the white light, and finally she snuggled up to the girl's feet and fell asleep.

  "I didn't expect this guy to be such a nice person."

  Ronan saw the wizard girl squatting down and gently hugging the sleeping Cheryl.

  As he was sighing, he suddenly noticed the two people who were talking to old Wells.

  One tall and one short.

  He was tall and burly with strong limbs. He wore black leather armor and carried a huge wooden bow and a quiver on his back.

  The shorter one was wearing a light green robe and holding a staff made of banyan branches. He had a slender figure and delicate features.

  Both of their ears are much longer and pointed than those of ordinary people.

  "Are they the half-elf brother and sister who just moved in?!"  

  Ronan reacted instantly, and then couldn't help but stare at the beautiful woman among the two out of curiosity.

  The latter seemed to sense his gaze and turned around and smiled gently at him.

  Before Ronan could respond, he saw the burly man next to the girl glaring at him fiercely, and even made a move to reach for the bow and arrow behind him.

  Ronan's heart trembled, and he dared not look anymore and left in a hurry.

  The death of the middle-aged wizard Potter did not cause much ripples in this forest area.

  The topic of "suspected black wizard" was hotly discussed in the tree house area for several days, but because there was no real evidence and it was just speculation, it ended up in nothing.

  Ronan later heard that Potter's daughter Cheryl was finally adopted by a wizard girl who lived by the tree spring and old Wells, which was quite unexpected to him.

  town.

  The entrance to the Dwarf Market.

  Ronan, who had just paid the entrance fee, stood in front of a middle-aged wizard in a sky blue robe, listening to his constant instructions.

  ".With this voucher, you can enter and leave the market freely within one day. After one day, the voucher will automatically become invalid. Please manage your time well."

  "Thanks."

  Ronan took the brass ring that was shining with a faint white light and put it on carefully. While constantly saying thank you, he walked into the market.

  After coming in, I immediately began to feel sorry for the low-level magic stone I had just spent.

  After deducting the cost, Ronan would have to engrave two [Cleansing] runes to make back the money.

  In fact, it is possible to enter the Dwarf Market without paying any money. As long as you meet one of the two conditions, "Sixth-level Wizard Apprentice" and "Formal Student of Hoddam Wizard Academy", you can enter and exit the Dwarf Market freely for free.

  Unfortunately, no matter which condition it is, it seems too far-fetched for Ronan now.

  Shaking his head, putting aside the messy thoughts, Ronan began to look at the scene in front of him.

  The streets were paved with white stone bricks, wide and flat, with blue and purple dwarf flowers planted on both sides of the road, as well as neatly arranged, tall and straight champs-Élysées trees

  . Compared with the Wizard Market, the Dwarf Market was like a "rich area".

  Occasionally, a wizard in exquisite robes walked on the street, but the legendary dwarves were never seen.

  "Hey, let's get down to business first!"

  Ronan didn't have time to think about this question. He walked hurriedly on the street and finally stopped in front of a shop called "Weiling Workshop".

  Through the transparent glass window outside the shop, Ronan saw the rune stones neatly stacked on the counter.

  Ronan glanced at the bright and clean door of the shop, subconsciously rubbed his muddy boots on the stone tiles at the door, then took a deep breath and strode in.

  More than an hour later.

  "Looking forward to your next visit!"

  Along with a sweet and pleasant voice, the door of Welling Workshop opened, and Ronan, with a strange look on his face, walked out of the store again.

  At this time, Ronan no longer had the package full of rune stones in his hand, but instead had a bulging money bag.

  There are exactly eighteen low-level magic stones inside!

  A whole block more than Ronan had originally expected.

  Before entering the store, Ronan had imagined in his mind whether he would be looked down upon by the store clerk, whether he would be questioned when he tried to sell runes,

  but he refused and everything went smoothly.

  Ronan simply expressed his desire to sell runes, and the people at Welling Workshop immediately arranged for a professional rune master to come.

  After appraising all the [Cleansing] runes that Ronan brought, the workshop purchased them all at the price of eighty magic stone fragments, and took the initiative to state that if Ronan needed to purchase rune materials in the workshop, they would provide them to him at a price close to the cost.

  Each blank rune stone is worth three magic stone grains. If you purchase fifty blank rune stones at a time, you will receive a bag of universal powder for free.

  "How much more magic stone did the guy who set up a stall in the wizard market earn from me?!"

  Ronan now felt that his idea of ​​bypassing the "middleman" was absolutely correct. Although he had to spend an extra magic stone as an entry fee, this magic stone could be saved on buying and selling, and he might even have more.
