Chapter 110: Order
Somewhere in the Underdark Treesea
Snap!
The crisp snap of fingers rang out.
The two running Apprentices suddenly stopped in their tracks and their bodies suddenly froze. They staggered forward and fell down. Soon, there was no sound, only black gas gushing out from their noses and mouths.
The bald man Geoff walked forward and bent down, intending to take off the Magic Stone pockets on the two Apprentices.
However, just as he took two steps forward, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt.
He seemed to have suddenly sensed something and suddenly looked in a direction. “Grice, this guy was actually…”
“Killed?”
At the same time, the sea of dark trees headed east, leading to an exit of the human world.
A pure black horse carriage was speeding along a dirt road. Pulling the carriage were four similarly black goats. They were moving at lightning speed, causing dust to fly everywhere they passed.
Inside the carriage, it was as still as water.
Roxanne, who was wearing a black cloak, sat in front of a low table with her eyes closed. There was a crystal ball on the table, and the green aura in the crystal ball was constantly circulating.
Her palms were tightly pressed against the crystal ball. Her tongue was licking the crystal ball from the depths of her mouth in her palms. She was constantly sucking away the green fog inside, as if she was tasting some kind of delicacy.
Suddenly, Roxanne opened her eyes.
Her expression was one of shock. She immediately turned her head and looked in a direction, gloating.
“Grice, that pig, is dead?”
…
In Shadow Tower.
Wizard Edith asked in puzzlement, “But what is the purpose of the Tower of Order doing this?”
“To attack the ruler’s Wizard region for no reason, and just after the ruler passed away, they brazenly broke the rules. Aren’t they afraid of the collective rulers rebelling?”
Cassandra shook her head and said, “In fact, they didn’t break the rules.”
Edith was shocked. “What?”
They secretly cast fate-type spells on the entire Wizard realm, causing the ruler to almost meet a catastrophe, causing the entire Wizard realm’s order to collapse into chaos and mutual slaughter.
Wasn’t such an action equivalent to slaughtering the ruler breaking the rules?
Cassandra nodded and said, “Yes, although their actions were excessive, they really didn’t break the rules.”
After a pause, she explained, “You’re still too young and haven’t experienced many things, but I think you should have heard about it. It happens every 100 years.”
Edith was suddenly shocked. “You mean…”
Cassandra nodded. “Yes, judging from the time, it should be about time. Their observers have probably already entered the Underdark Treesea. They’re currently on the chessboard, observing the moves of the chess pieces.”
“According to the rules, the Tower of Order can use any means to select qualified warriors for this matter. All rulers need to cooperate unconditionally.”
Edith frowned. “This…”
After thinking for a while, he said angrily, “Then they should at least inform us in advance so that we can be prepared. Do they really want us to die?”
Cassandra explained, “They did it on purpose. They deliberately used this time to make an example of us.”
Edith was stunned. “What?”
Cassandra sighed softly. “Our relationship with the Three Ring Towers is too good.”
The Three Ring Towers was the most rapidly developing Wizard organization in the West Coast Continent. It was also a powerful Wizard organization whose strength was currently second only to the Tower of Order in the West Coast.
Cassandra said, “It wouldn’t matter if it was in the past, but the growth of the Three Ring Towers in recent years has exceeded many people’s expectations. If this goes on, it’s only a matter of time before they catch up to the Tower of Order. Some people are very afraid.”
Edith frowned. “Is there a need for that? The Three Ring Towers are only taking care of themselves and never reaching out. Is that wrong?”
Cassandra snorted. “Taking care of themselves? I’m afraid only you would be so childish.”
She commented seriously, “The Three Ring Towers have been unwilling to be left behind since the day they were established. No matter how harmless they appear, it can’t hide their ambitions.”
“They have been pretending to be grandsons for so many years, and they have already gained invincible strength under the watchful eyes of the Tower of Order. What do you think the Tower of Order will think?”
Edith was silent.
Cassandra finally said, “No matter where it is, there can only be one king. Either you die or I die.”
…
Dark Forest, Forest of Souls.

A series of notifications rang in Heath’s ears. A large amount of unfamiliar knowledge surged into Heath’s mind. He did not know whether it was because this guy was too strong or because he had a special type of knowledge, but the amount of knowledge he obtained this time was abnormally large.
His head swelled up, and soon, Heath had already grasped this knowledge as quickly as possible.
“So that’s how it is. He actually changed so many body organs and even changed all the blood cells in his body. No wonder he’s so fierce…”
“Even the blood cells of the Splitting Worm can fuse with his body. That’s too abnormal…”
“His metabolism is over 100%. No wonder he has to keep eating. He’s really working hard to become stronger…”
After digesting all this knowledge, Heath could not help but be speechless.
All of this knowledge was related to body modification, organ transplantation, cell fusion, blood mutation… In order to pursue the peak of strength, he had gone to all extremes. He was purely developing in the field of monsters.
“To be able to modify the body to such an extent, this thing is really a talent…”
While he was surprised, Heath was also very impressed.
Body modification itself was a knowledge that had a threshold. The fusion of various organs, rejection reactions, alienation reactions, and so on, all needed to be considered in all aspects.
This Dark Wizard was able to almost completely change his entire body. Just this move alone was far from what an ordinary Apprentice could achieve.
“This set of knowledge structure, I’m afraid it’s not far from becoming a Wizard…”
The other party seemed to be using the body modification route to advance to a Wizard, and his accumulation of knowledge was indeed not far from forming a complete system.
If he was given some more time, he might really be able to form a complete spell system and advance to an official Wizard.
“It’s a pity that all of this is for nothing…”
Shaking his head, Heath put away the emotions in his heart. He did not know how many Apprentices he had killed and how many bodies he had used as living experiments in exchange for this knowledge. It was only natural that he would be slaughtered. There was nothing to regret.
Following that, he touched the body of the fatty and pulled out a Magic Stone pocket from the outside of his charred thigh.
The Magic Stone pocket was a very special spatial product. When an attack was too powerful, it would enter an illusory state and be immune to attacks from the outside world. Because of this, the Magic Stone pocket would not be so easily destroyed.
Heath extended his spiritual tentacle and wiped away the spiritual brand on the pocket.
The fatty’s abilities were in his physical body, so his spiritual and soul abilities were not that great. Heath easily removed Grice’s spiritual brand and successfully took the spatial pocket for himself.
His spiritual consciousness swept across the interior of the spatial pocket, and with this sweep, he immediately had an urge to feel dizzy.
Magic Stones that were as tall as a small mountain, dozens of Wizard tools, and a mountain of materials… All kinds of valuables were almost stuffed into this pocket, which was more than 20 square meters.
With a quick glance, the wealth inside was no less than a million Magic Stones!
Heath opened his mouth and said, “Isn’t it said that Dark Wizards are poor people who can’t afford to eat and wear clothes? If they are called poor people, what are we?”
“Could it be…”
Suddenly, Heath seemed to have thought of something. He quickly took out a few Wizard tools and looked at the emblem on them carefully. After looking at it, he suddenly understood.
“So they were robbed…”
From the emblem on these Wizard tools, it seemed that they were all from Apprentices from various Wizard organizations in the Underdark Treesea.
For a moment, Heath was very happy.
“It’s true that no grass is fat without horses, and no man is rich without windfall.”
One had to know that in order to buy spells, he had spent most of his Magic Stones in Shadow Tower. The remaining 20,000 to 30,000 had also been used up when he had just set up the [Hellfire Sea]. Right now, he only had a few thousand Magic Stones that he had picked up from the corpses of the Apprentices in the Red Castle and the Dusk Mill.
He was still penniless before, but in the blink of an eye, he had become rich.
‘No wonder these Dark Wizards did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to reach the Underdark Treesea. This money-grabbing business is indeed the best way to make a fortune!’
As his thoughts ran wild, Heath put away the Magic Stone pocket and the fat man’s body and set off on the journey again.
No matter how much money he earned from the bandit business, he was not the type to make a living like this. It was one thing to rob the Dark Wizards and pick up the bodies on the way, but it was better to do less evil things like hunting other Apprentices on his own initiative.
If everything was over, fate would end sooner or later.
Chaos would eventually lead to order. Now, he had to make a list after the fun.
With a powerful goldfinger like the Extraction System by his side, he was already in an invincible position. He had a bright future waiting for him. There was no need to ruin his future for the sake of a little benefit in front of him.
With this in mind, Heath completely let go of the greed in his mind and quickly left.
Not long after Heath left…
Sizzle!
A soft sound suddenly rang out in the quiet scorched land.
Immediately after, the space twisted, and a man and a woman suddenly appeared on the ruins.
If other spell casters saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked. A spell that could cause spatial fluctuations must have at least two circles!
In other words, this man and woman had the strength of at least a Rank 2 Wizard!
There were not many Rank 2 Wizards in the entire Underdark Treesea, yet two of them had appeared here all of a sudden!
Then, what was their background?
At this time, it was dawn. The dawn sunlight shone down from the other side of the mountain and hit the two of them diagonally, illuminating their gray cloaks and the emblem on the cloak’s chest.
It was a strange emblem with a staff and a crown overlapping each other.
This was a pattern that no one would be unfamiliar with in the Underdark Treesea, the West Coast Continent, or even the entire Old Land.
Tower of Order: Scepter Crown!
