Chapter 228 Mission

However, Benjamin had to admit that the deaths of Amy and Victor left an unhealable scar in his heart.

Although the scar no longer bleeds, it still hurts a little.

This made him feel a little uncomfortable when conducting experiments that required extremely high precision and concentration, and he began to make frequent mistakes during the research process.

Sizzle——!

Accompanied by a pungent smell of burning, another lava giant experimental subject that had undergone preliminary transformation spontaneously combusted on the operating table into a pile of worthless charcoal because of a dosage error of 0.01 ml when injecting a genetic catalyst, causing the energy circulation in its body to collapse instantly.

"well……"

After once again completely destroying the experimental product in front of him due to his own mistake, Benjamin finally stopped what he was doing and sighed helplessly.

He knew that in his current state, continuing to force his research would only be a waste of time and materials.

He walked aside and reopened the magic network terminal.

This time, he did not look through the obscure knowledge again, but directly clicked on the task release platform of the local Nolen Academy in the Elosia plane - he planned to see if there were any suitable tasks.

It’s not about earning points or completing any targets.

He mainly wanted to go out for a walk, change the environment, and see if he could change his mood.

The task list is refreshed like a waterfall, with a wide variety of commissions.

Some are exploring some remote planes of the Elosia Plane Community, some are collecting rare materials, and some are supporting the construction of the academy.

At this moment, a somewhat strange task title caught Benjamin's eye.

[Hunting Mission: Kill illegal wizards.]

【Task level: Level 2.】

[Acceptance restrictions: Only official wizards above level 2 can accept.]

I don’t know any more information.

The detailed description of the task is locked by permissions and can only be viewed after acceptance.

Benjamin was a little curious about the term "illegal wizard".

In a highly centralized and orderly society like wizarding civilization, how could there still be officially recognized "illegal wizards"?

As far as he knew, in addition to the contract related to wizard civilization that was signed upon enrollment, all wizard weapons that had meditation methods engraved on them also had restrictions placed on them. Unless there was relevant contract certification, they could not be activated at all.

Without the assistance of the initial meditation magic tool, it would be impossible for a normal person to enter a meditative state, let alone become a wizard.

With such strict protection, is it possible that there are still such things as "illegal wizards"?

Out of curiosity, Benjamin chose to accept the task without much hesitation.

Soon, as his authority was authenticated, subsequent task information flooded into his terminal like a tide.

This information includes the detailed movement routes and activity tracks of the "illegal wizard" that had been monitored in the past.

The document also included an estimate of its strength, made by the academy's intelligence department based on the traces of damage it had caused: its estimated overall strength was equivalent to that of an ordinary second-level wizard.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, the mission issued by Nolen College this time is a team mission.

Its activation condition is that at least two second-level wizards must accept it before it can be officially activated.

Coincidentally, before Benjamin took it, another person had already taken on the task.

Now, with the addition of Jemin, the conditions for launching the mission have been met.

Jemin glanced at the designated gathering place for the mission: the new Norn College branch under construction on the main plane of Elosia.

As for the final gathering deadline for the mission, it is... three days later.

"With such a short gathering time, it seems that the academy takes this illegal wizard very seriously..." Looking at the information displayed on the screen, Benjamin touched his chin and thought.

He made some simple preparations, switched the laboratory to automatic maintenance mode, left several lava giant guards transformed into biochemical beasts in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, and then directly boarded the teleportation array inside the laboratory.

With a slight distortion of space, the next second, he arrived at the new Norn Academy in the main plane of Elosia, which had already taken shape and was full of futuristic technology.

After accepting a task like this, the magic network terminal will automatically turn on the recording mode, mainly to record the wizard's movements.

So Jackie was convinced that the moment he stepped onto the teleportation array, the other party should have received the message that he was rushing to the meeting place.

After arriving at the designated meeting point in a corner of the college square, Benjamin saw the person who had been waiting there.

When he felt the unfamiliar soul breath, Benjamin was stunned.

Because the other party was actually David, who had just contacted him not long ago!

Of course, David's current appearance is slightly different from what he saw during the trial and when they signed the contract.

At that time, he was more like a barbarian who ate raw meat and drank blood.

Now, although the wild aura on him has been restrained a lot and he no longer looks like a barbarian, he is wearing a set of black heavy armor covered with hideous bone spurs and runes, and he does not look like a wizard in the traditional sense at all.

The way wizards unleash their power is mainly through using mental force to lever the power of external elements.

Therefore, there are really no major restrictions on clothing. Whether you like to be naked or wear a construct that looks like a city, it’s fine.

But generally speaking, no one would wear heavy armor.

It’s not that heavy armor doesn’t work well. In fact, heavy armor can use more materials, which means that compared with magical weapons of the same level, it has stronger protective capabilities and more stable effects, as well as more space for engraving runes.

Moreover, for some wizards who have also practiced physical strengthening, heavy armor can also serve as extremely effective defense and weapons in close combat.

The only downside is...it's expensive!

As you can tell from the size, a set of heavy armor requires much more materials than magical weapons like staffs or masks.

The price of a complete set of heavy armor wizard weapons is two levels higher than the wizard weapon set of the same level.

So not only Benjamin, but other wizards passing by here couldn't help but take a look at David standing there.

He was like a silent steel fortress, standing there quietly, emitting a cold aura that kept strangers away.

To be honest, if it weren't for the familiar soul aura as heavy as the earth that had not changed at all, Benjamin almost wouldn't have recognized that this "tin can" was David.
