My Muscle System in the Mage World

"It\'s just that I have seen too much potential in him, but he died. Unfortunately, we might have been able to raise another alchemist if we could do so," Almer\'s hoarse voice was full of regret and sadness as he spoke.

Noah smiled when he heard this. "Well, we already have another alchemist after all, so you don\'t have to worry, Alchemist Elmer."

"What do you mean?" Elmer said with a startled expression under his green wizard hood.

"You heard what I said," Noah smiled mysteriously.

A series of expressions appeared under the hood, unseen by Elmer.

"From the information I had, Aur only had the potential to become an alchemist. But did I think wrongly, or is it another person?" Elmer pondered.

While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Noah smiled as he gestured. .net

"You can come in, Aur."

"Yes, Leader," Aur\'s voice came from outside as he entered the room.

Almer turned his attention to the burly man in a black robe and long white hair that reached his waist, with narrowed eyes.

"Are you the person who killed Travis?" he asked in his usual hoarse voice.

At this time, Noah remained silent, with no sign of intervening, his smile like usual, which made his internal thoughts unknown.

"Yes, I am," Aur lightly said.

Almer looked at Aur with his brows knitted together in a frown. "Is this how youngsters treat their elders nowadays?"

Aur looked at the green-cloaked man in front of him with a slightly startled expression, as if he was just noticing the man right now.

"And you are?" Aur asked with a confused expression.

"I am Almer, the only alchemist in the village," a frown appeared on his face, "you still haven\'t bowed."

Aur\'s eyes seemed to flash as if being enlightened.

"I am Elder Aur. Is this how you talk to the Elder of the village?" He rebutted with an expressionless face.

Almer was stunned when he heard this. He had forgotten that technically Elders had more status than him; they were only under the village leader in ranking.

He had so many Elders bootlicking him for making them potions that he had truly forgotten his status.

However even knowing these Almer flared in rage instead. How dare a green-haired brat who hasn\'t seen the world rebuke him?

"You are right. I forgot that no matter how weak you are, you are still in the position of an Elder that was given to you by chance and luck," Elmer calmly replied.

Aur wasn\'t angry at all when he heard this. Instead, his expression was amused. "Luck is a form of strength, Alchemist Elmer."

"Hmph," Alchemist Elmer hmphed at him before speaking in an extremely cold, hoarse voice. "I am not here to play games with you. Did you kill Travis or not?"

"Yes, I did kill him because he was extremely overbearing," Aur nodded his head.

"Then you must be punished. He was a person who had great talent for alchemy, and you killed him. Do you think you will get away just because of your little strength and status as an Elder?" Almer said.

"No," Aur shook his head matter-of-factly, "but that would change if I were an alchemist as well," he secretly said these words in his heart.

These words directly increased his value and worth to the next level. That was why Aur was so daring to kill a person right in front of the masses.

Because Noah had to cover for him, or the village would suffer from the monopoly of these old alchemists forever and ever.

"You dare," Almer said in a roar, his peak tier one wizard realm presence leaking out from his body.

He expected Aur to at least flinch when he released his presence.

However, somehow, Aur stood upright, not moving a single bit, no matter how much presence he released, making him startled.

"Take back your presence, Alchemist Elmer," at this time, he heard a neutral voice from behind, which sent a chill down his spine.

"Village Leader," Elmer hurriedly took back his presence and turned towards Noah with fear in his eyes.

He had forgotten that this amicable man was a tier three wizard in front of him, even if he used his status.

If Noah didn\'t care about the village, he could slaughter him right here, and nobody would complain.

Noah smiled as he patted the man, his tone turning warm again. "We are all from the same village anyway, so we shouldn\'t fight against each other," he said, giving a meaningful glance at him.

"Yes, yes," his green hood bobbed up and down in agreement.

"Let\'s not pursue their matter anymore and look at the bigger picture. Besides, Elder Aur has already become an Alchemist as well," Noah said with a smile. "You know what they say: a person with the same job should take care of each other."

"I knew it," Elmer cursed in his heart, seeing Noah defend Aur so vehemently.

He already knew in his heart that Aur might have become an Alchemist, but hearing Noah\'s words made him even more certain.

Seeing it himself and just guessing were two different things!

"Alright, Village Leader, I agree. Then I shall take my leave."

Noah smiled when he heard this. "Walk slowly, Alchemist Elmer."

Almer just slightly nodded his head before he walked out of the place, still heavy in his heart.

"Noah will defend him at every turn, so I can\'t take care of this brat for now. However, I have made numerous connections throughout the entire place, from elders to almost everyone in power. I don\'t believe an early-tier One wizard could survive," he snorted, before his expression turned malevolent and extreme.

This directly confronted his interests. If he no longer had a monopoly, the prices of his potions would plummet, which was unacceptable to him.
