82: Chapter 82 The Sour Smell of Love

Nie Ning looked at the treaty on the wall, his mind full of questions.

"Why is this an obligation for all wizards? The Corruptors aren't something we created."

Audrey rolled her eyes, seemingly having anticipated that Nie Ning would ask this.

"Why do you think you can cultivate so quickly? Because of your outstanding talent?"

"The reason the elemental energy here is abundant also stems from that accident over a thousand years ago; it brought disaster, but it also increased the elemental concentration."

"Besides, there is compensation for this; it's not like you're working for free."

However, there were some things Audrey didn't say, namely that this place was still considered a barren land, as there were places better suited for wizard cultivation.

But for ordinary wizards, that accident was indeed a good thing.

Just like the few Apprentice Wizards here.

If the elemental concentration were like it was before, these people would likely spend their whole lives lingering in the initial stages, or perhaps not even qualify to enter the path.

Even with Nie Ning's exceptional talent, if he stayed here for too long, he would eventually fade into the crowd.

"That makes sense."

Nie Ning scratched his head, thinking that it was indeed the case.

Of course, the main reason was that he wasn't a contrarian; otherwise, if he had said, 'I don't want this,' Audrey would probably have scattered his ashes.

"I brought you here today to get familiar with things. You don't need to stay here usually. Leave your address, and they will notify you when a Corruptor appears."

Audrey handed a piece of paper to Nie Ning.

But at this moment, Nie Ning hesitated, because he didn't want others to know where he lived.

"You'd better be honest. There is nothing in all of Ska City that I cannot find out."

Seeing Nie Ning hesitating, Audrey rolled her eyes at him in annoyance and said.

As the only Second-Ring Wizard in Ska City, she could mobilize the resources of the entire city when necessary; finding someone was not as difficult as imagined.

"That's not it; I was just thinking about where I spend most of my time, so it's easier for them to find me."

Nie Ning gave an awkward smile, took the pen and paper, and began to write.

He naturally filled in Hervais Manor as the address, as he usually stayed there to cultivate and rarely went out.

After Nie Ning finished writing, Audrey took it and looked at it, and then the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

She had thought of all kinds of identities for Nie Ning, but she never imagined that a High-Tier Knight, and now a First-Ring Wizard, would actually be a servant doing odd jobs for a small family!

Nie Ning had even specifically added a note that he should not be seen by outsiders when they came to find him.

Is he addicted to being a servant?

"If you really have nowhere to live, you can stay with me in the Wizard Tower. If you're lucky enough, that Wizard Tower might belong to you in the future."

Audrey put down the paper and shook her head slightly.

She was looking for Nie Ning to replace her, but that would only happen after the treatment was successful.

But according to her plan, even if she couldn't cure Nie Ning, dragging it out for ten years should be no problem, which would still be enough for him to take over her position.

"I'm doing just fine there. Let's talk about it later."

Nie Ning shrugged, rejecting Audrey's proposal.

Before solving Lilith's problem, he would not consider leaving Hervais Manor.

The reason he didn't want to reveal his identity was actually because he was afraid it would affect him.

His Supernatural Adaptability meant he was destined not to stay in Ska City forever, and having too high of a status would only cause a series of negative reactions.

Now that he didn't need to interact with others, he naturally wouldn't have many entanglements, and he wouldn't have many attachments when he left in the future.

"Suit yourself, just don't be impossible to find when the time comes."

Audrey didn't dwell on the matter, as long as she ensured Nie Ning stayed in Ska City.

Given the elemental concentration in Ska City, the Power of Corruption wouldn't be too strong, and Nie Ning's strength was sufficient to handle most problems.

...

After saying goodbye to Audrey, Nie Ning returned to Hervais Manor.

But just as Nie Ning was about to enter, his high Spiritual Power allowed him to discover someone spying nearby.

Thinking it might be those assassins, a sharp glint appeared in Nie Ning's eyes, and he immediately flashed into the alley next to him.

Relying on Shadow Gliding Steps, Nie Ning quietly approached behind the person who was spying.

It was a man wearing a black robe with a long sword at his waist.

But looking at the figure, Nie Ning inexplicably felt a bit familiar.

Nie Ning stepped forward and tapped the person on the shoulder.

Seemingly startled, the black-robed man turned around quickly while immediately reaching to draw his knight sword from his waist.

But after seeing Nie Ning's face, the black-robed man breathed a sigh of relief.

And the black-robed man was none other than the subordinate of Lilith's old flame.

"So it's you..."

The black-robed man just wanted to speak, but suddenly remembered that Nie Ning was a deaf-mute, and then began to gesture wildly with his hands.

Although Nie Ning couldn't understand what the black-robed man was saying, the man then took out a letter from his bosom, and Nie Ning finally understood his intention.

Thinking back carefully, it had indeed been a long time since Nie Ning had delivered a letter.

The cause was naturally the argument between Lilith and Matt; afterwards, Nie Ning helped deliver letters a few times, but in the end, Lilith was discovered by Matt for secretly writing letters.

Although he didn't know what happened afterwards, Lilith didn't ask him to deliver letters anymore.

Actually, Nie Ning had a good impression of that person.

The other party was elegant in manner, articulate, knowledgeable, and had high quality and cultivation; even towards a 'deaf-mute' like him, he was very kind.

Although it might be an act, at least Nie Ning couldn't see anything wrong with it.

Nie Ning took the letter, patted his chest, and signaled for the black-robed man to just give the letter to him.

As Lilith's follower, Nie Ning was naturally deeply trusted.

Seeing this, the black-robed man gave a thumbs up to Nie Ning to express his trust.

Watching Nie Ning's retreating figure, the black-robed man felt as if he had forgotten something, for example, how the other party had approached him silently...

...

Just after returning to his room, Nie Ning was startled by Lilith who was sitting on a stool.

Nie Ning scratched his head; he still wasn't used to using Spiritual Power detection at all times.

For him now, keeping detection on all the time consumed too much Spiritual Power; it was best used in conjunction with Malice Perception.

Since Lilith was here, Nie Ning couldn't be bothered to make another trip, so he took the letter out from his bosom.

But just as he handed it over, he saw that Lilith was also holding a letter in her hand.

The corner of Nie Ning's eye twitched involuntarily.

He had only just returned, and he had to go out again?

He wondered if that guy had gone far yet...

Lilith was stunned for a moment when she saw this, then hurriedly took the letter to check it, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Nie Ning, who was on the side, couldn't help but curl his lips.

The stench of love is truly disgusting!

After reading the letter, Lilith put away her own letter, asked Nie Ning to go to Norma's room to get paper and pen, and then began to write a letter again.

But for some reason, Nie Ning seemed to see a hint of worry in Lilith's eyes.

Was she afraid that Matt wouldn't agree to their marriage?
