199: Chapter 199 Tricolor Fluorescent Core
Leaving The Federation headquarters, Nie Ning could not help but feel a bit melancholy as he watched the bustling streets.
He had only wanted to leave this place, go out for a stroll, and see the outside world, but he had not expected the waters here to be so deep.
If they were not even in the same world, then what was the point of going out!
Before leaving, Augustine had told him that the Teleportation Array for leaving this place was controlled by the Crimson Holy Blade, so they had absolutely no chance of leaving on their own.
However, this reminded Nie Ning of the Teleportation Array he had encountered in the Wantai Forest.
Thinking back to when he first stepped into those mountains, he too had been unable to move, suppressed by a mysterious force.
At the time, he had thought some powerful individual was playing a joke on him.
Moreover, that place was incredibly rich, filled with materials rare in the current world, as well as various high-level exotic beasts.
Thinking about it now, it was quite possible that the Teleportation Array was a passage to Belvis, and the world where the mountains were located was Belvis itself.
As for that inexplicable pressure, it must have been the World Will.
Nie Ning raised his right eyebrow: "Does that mean my Supernatural Adaptability neutralized that pressure?"
If that were the case, then the World Will was nothing but a joke to him.
Regardless of whether the world where the mountains were located was Belvis, perhaps even if he went to other worlds, he would not be suppressed, just like the locals there.
However, he had not left that mountain range, so he was not entirely sure if it was the world of Belvis.
If it was truly as he had guessed, perhaps he could simply pass himself off as a local there.
He just did not know if the people of Belvis had other ways to identify people from other worlds.
...
Nie Ning walked aimlessly along the street, hesitating whether to stay here for now.
The matter concerning Lilith was only half resolved; the mastermind behind it had yet to appear, so perhaps he should wait here for a while and see.
As for Charlie.
Nie Ning had learned from Augustine that Skadi had sought an opportunity for a Truth Transformation for Charlie, and he had already headed to the world where the Crimson Holy Blade was located.
It had to be said, Skadi was truly good to this grandson of his.
It was just that the changes happened too quickly.
When his malice had faded back then, he had thought Charlie had turned over a new leaf, but who knew that a single catastrophe would cause Charlie to revert.
This guy was not only incompetent, but he also did not want others to see it when he was being incompetent; perhaps that was the reason Charlie had led the Sludge Monster toward those apprentices.
After all, he was from the Royal Capital and was the grandson of Skadi; his fragile self-esteem was likely the fuse for all of this.
However, now that Charlie had gone to Belvis, Nie Ning certainly would not go to undergo the baptism of Truth Transformation himself.
Because that would be equivalent to labeling himself as an outsider.
If he did not have any other choice, Nie Ning did not want to enter Belvis in this form.
Moreover, he had plenty of time now, so there was no need to rush into entering that place right away.
Thinking of this, Nie Ning could not help but sigh inwardly.
If he had known this, perhaps he should have left with the Nalaiesi Believers back then, or begged Norma to take him with her.
He had calculated everything, but he had not calculated that they were not even in the same world; this was truly speechless-inducing.
...
Just as Nie Ning was strolling, he suddenly felt someone staring at him.
He turned to look and saw a Witch Apprentice walking straight toward him.
"Is this Lord Bronk?"
The Witch Apprentice bowed slightly to Nie Ning and asked.
Nie Ning was a bit puzzled: "Who are you, and what do you want with me?"
He did not know anyone else in the Royal Capital, and since he had just left Augustine, it probably was not Augustine looking for him.
"My master is Wizard Isaac. My master said that he was in the wrong before, so he would like to invite you over for a chat."
The Witch Apprentice said with a smile.
Nie Ning raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
He had just heard this name at the place of Augustine; it was the person who had jumped out to refute him during the meeting earlier.
What did this mean? A trap?
The Witch Apprentice did not seem to be in a hurry, just standing quietly to the side, waiting for the reply of Nie Ning.
After thinking for a while, Nie Ning followed the Witch Apprentice toward the south of the Royal Capital.
Although the other party might not have good intentions, Nie Ning also had his own ideas.
The reason was simple: he needed the wizard books of these people.
After learning the truth about this world, high-level wizard knowledge had become precious.
He was just worrying about not finding a reason to make a move against those people.
...
Led by the Witch Apprentice, Nie Ning arrived at an estate located in a forest.
Nie Ning found it curious; he had thought all wizards lived in Wizard Towers.
Entering the estate, the rows of maids welcoming them were quite pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately, Nie Ning had no interest in that.
Walking into the living room, only Isaac was inside, and he did not sense much malice; it really seemed to be just a normal meal.
"Lord Bronk, please sit, please sit."
Seeing Nie Ning enter the room, Isaac hurriedly stood up to invite Nie Ning to sit.
"I do not know what business you have with me?"
Nie Ning asked with a cold expression.
"I offended you earlier, and I only hope that Wizard Bronk can let bygones be bygones. For this reason, I have specially prepared a gift..."
Isaac said with an apologetic smile, then took out a wooden box from his spatial ring.
Nie Ning waved his hand, and the wooden box opened automatically, revealing a small red, orange, and blue flower, with specks of Elemental Power even visible circling the flower.
"Tricolor Fluorescent Stamen. You are quite generous."
Closing the box, Nie Ning could not help but take a few extra looks at Isaac.
Tricolor Fluorescent Stamen could be used to make potions that enhance Spiritual Power; the higher the talent, the better the absorption of the potion's power.
If used in the late Third-Ring stage, it could even allow one to break through to the peak of the Third-Ring in one go; for a wizard of his level, it was a supreme treasure.
"It is my honor that you could grace this place with your presence. A mere Tricolor Fluorescent Stamen is not worth mentioning."
Isaac wore a smile, but his heart was bleeding.
Originally, he had wanted to join forces with others to give Nie Ning a taste of trouble.
But who knew that those people would be outwardly concerned but would not mention helping at all; clearly, such a young Third-Ring Wizard made them unwilling to oppose him.
But thinking about it, it was normal.
Although they were very dissatisfied with the proposal of Nie Ning, people with such talent as Nie Ning would not be content to stay here.
So as long as they waited until Nie Ning left, the Wilbes Republic would still be under their control.
Besides, since they had not offended Nie Ning, it was even less likely they would look for trouble at such a time.
It could only be said that those people understood the ways of the world perfectly well, and in the end, a world where only he was hurt had been achieved.
"You are too modest. This should not be enough for you to take out such a precious item, should it?"
Nie Ning looked deeply at Isaac.
The value of the Tricolor Fluorescent Stamen went without saying; even if he could not use it himself, he would never easily take it out to give to someone else.
