The most powerful wizard in the magic world

Chapter 273 The Shadow of Fame

"Gerlin, I just heard your conversation at the bar. It seems that your reputation among young wizards is rising steadily." This is Rosa, an old friend of Gerlin and his most trusted assistant. Her long golden hair sparkles in the sun, and her eyes reveal her loyalty to Gerlin.

"Maybe, but I don't want to be too ostentatious." Gerling said slowly, his voice calm but slightly tired. Although he was gradually gaining fame, the pressure and responsibility that came with it also made him feel suffocated.

"You are being modest. Many people need your help, and your research can save many people." Rosa looked at Gerlin firmly, with a look of concern on her face.

"But I can't guarantee that every attempt I make will be successful. If I fail, the consequences will be even more serious." Gerling's eyes dimmed. He knew very well that even the smallest decision could bring irreversible consequences.

Rosa sighed slightly: "Gerlin, you are always so hard on yourself. Even so, I still believe that you have the ability to find a solution."

At this moment, a young man in a gorgeous cloak walked in and interrupted their conversation. The young man's name was Alger, a legendary explorer who was well-known in the wizarding world. As soon as he entered the door, he attracted everyone's attention, and several pairs of eyes stared at his figure like prey.

"Hey, Gerlin, Rosa!" Alger smiled contemptuously and waved to them. His voice was full of teasing, "I heard that you have been exploring new herbs recently. Are you ready to break through to the pinnacle of the wizarding world?"

Gerling looked displeased and raised his head to look directly at Alger: "This has nothing to do with me. If you are here to laugh at me, then I suggest you leave."

"Mocking? No, I'm here to communicate with this famous wizard." Algiers pretended to be serious, but a playful smile hung on the corners of his mouth. "There are many people out there waiting to hear your legendary stories."

"Do you think anyone would be interested?" Gerling smiled coldly. "Those stories are just my accidental attempts. Like your adventure stories, they are full of uncertainty." His attitude made no secret of his disdain for Alger.

Alger shrugged, seemingly unconcerned: "For those who are eager for adventure, everything is worth it. Do you realize, Gerling? Every success of yours is changing the fate of others."

Rosa sensed the tension in the air and tried to change the subject: "Algiers, do you have any new adventure plans recently? I heard that there is an ancient ruin outside the village that may hide many unknown secrets."

"Oh, I've been to that place." Algiers eyes flickered, and then he said, "However, there are many strange creatures there, and many people were scared back." He had a cynical look on his face, as if he was enjoying the fear he brought.

"If you dare to go, I suggest you bring a few experienced wizards with you." Gerlin said calmly, revealing a hint of concern. "Otherwise, it would be too risky to go alone."

"Oh, really, you wizards of reputation are always so cautious." Alger laughed, "But, I'm planning to deal with those creatures, maybe I can help recruit some Fearless."

Rosa raised her head and looked serious: "Even if you want to explore, please be sure to pay attention to safety. Some secrets are not worth exchanging your life for."

"Thank you for your concern, Rosa, but I have never been afraid of difficulties." Alger raised his chin and looked at Gerlin, "But Gerlin, you shouldn't always hide in your laboratory. Adventure is the wizard's talent!"

Gerlin shook his head, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. "Adventure is certainly a wizard's duty, but I also think that when exploring the unknown, we must also consider the possible consequences."

Algiers couldn't help but burst out laughing: "It's Garlin after all. Do you want to be a nerd? Life is so boring without adventure!" His voice was full of provocation.

"I value the value of life more than taking unnecessary risks." Gelling finally lost his patience and spoke with a firm voice. "I believe that every study can bring us new understandings, and this is what I want to pursue."

As night fell, the discussion outside gradually faded, leaving only faint noises in the pub. Gerling fell into deep thought, and suddenly he felt dizzy, as if something was approaching him.

"Are you okay?" Rosa noticed that Gerlin was acting strangely and asked gently.

"I'm fine." Gellin smiled slightly, trying to hide his discomfort, but he knew deep in his heart that this inexplicable force was slowly approaching. Perhaps this was the call from the depths of the wizarding world that he had vaguely felt in the past.

The wooden door of the tavern creaked, and then a strange traveler walked in. He was wearing a black cloak, his face hidden in the shadows, and he exuded a frightening aura.

"What are you talking about?" The strange man's deep voice was like an echo from the abyss, making people around him hold their breath involuntarily.

"Who are you?" Gerlin stood up subconsciously and faced the traveler of unknown origin.

"I just want to find some answers." The traveler raised his lips slightly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"Then you have to ask the right person." Gerling did not flinch, with a determined look in his eyes. He knew in his heart that the goal he pursued had never changed, and even if the challenges ahead were like a turbulent undercurrent, they could not shake his faith.

"I heard that you are researching a herbal medicine that can detoxify." The strange man looked at Gerlin calmly, "Some of my friends need your help."

Gerlin was startled, then alerted. You know, poison and antidote often come with danger. "It's not my responsibility to help them." He refused. Although he was a little hesitant, the alertness deep in his heart made him stay calm.
