This Wizard is So Unscientific!

Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Opportunity Comes!_1 Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Opportunity Comes!_1 “The moment I made my move, I almost couldn’t see the kinetic form of that wad of paper.”

“But one thing is certain, it was definitely not a simple throw within the reality dimension.”

“An almost instantaneous arrival through throwing isn’t something that pure strength can achieve.”

“There must be some other transcendent characteristic at work.”

“At the moment, it closely resembles some sort of [Phase] talent.”

Hilor thought quickly and formed his hypothesis.

“Entering the ‘phase layer’ at the starting point of the attack and leaving the phase layer at the endpoint.”

“It’s a talent that practically ignores a certain distance—a formidable one.”

“Whether it is [Phase] or not, one thing is for sure, there must be some other strong transcendent characteristic at work.”

“Does he… really not know how powerful his ability is?”

“Or rather… he knows but… pretends not to.”

Looking at Tuck, who had already started playing with a cat.

Hilor came to a conclusion.

That was the veracity of what his brother Carlos had said.

“This guy Tuck, always throws a ridiculous move just when you think he’s ordinary.”

“It’s indeed a bit outrageous.”

“Do you… do you know how powerful your ability is?” Hilor asked slowly.

“What do you think?” Tuck responded indifferently.

“So, you should have developed this special talent attribute to complement your shooting method,” Hilor asked again.

“Of course!” Tuck nodded again.

Combining what he had just witnessed, and what Carlos had told him about Tuck taking down a Second Rank Human Face Rock Snake Ghost with two shots when he was an Apprentice Wizard,

Hilor had already made a rough judgment.

“Perhaps he can play a significant role.”

“But his overall strength still needs to be observed.”

“Even, he could participate in the journey underground.”

A moment later, Hilor looked at Tuck and formally said,

“I still have some say in the High Tower, so if you need anything, feel free to come to me.”

After giving it some thought, Tuck said,

“Right now, I actually do need your help.”

“Could you prepare for me a profile on the upper echelons of the High Tower, as well as important Tower members, and many of the apprentices?”

Tuck’s request was outrageously over the top.

If this request had been made to Mr. Aubrey,

Tuck might have been suspected on the spot of being a follower of the Evil God.

But it was still a shocking request even in Hilor’s view.

Fortunately, Tuck had already shown enough sincerity beforehand.

After some contemplation, Hilor finally said slowly: “Only simple profiles.”

“Simple will suffice,” Tuck responded with a nod.

…

High Tower Area.

Towers, tall and short, stood erect amidst the blood-red remnants of ashes.

Tuck glanced at the “Ash Moon” which was about to end.

While The Ash Moon, already poised in the sky overhead, was ready to emerge.

A cold, inexplicable surge welled up inside Tuck.

“In this Ashen Land, even the High Tower is not safe!”

Tuck inhaled deeply as he silently traversed the blood-red world of towers, heading toward the Undead Tower.

He had already finished reading the information Hilor gave him.

When he made the sacrifice initially, Tuck had sensed that there were footholds of the Evil God within the High Tower Area.

And after this baptism of Origin Energy,

Two suspects who were believed to be followers of the Evil God were plucked out by Tuck.

One of them was the one lurking in the shadows around Carlos.

And the other, when the Transcendent Characteristics of the [Breeding] Source Pool flowed into the Sequence ecosystem,

a slight trace of Dark Sun Attributes inadvertently leaked out, and Tuck caught it.

Just from this one baptism, Tuck had encountered two.

Without a doubt,

members of the Evil God Organization, the Dark Sun Church, not only took root in the High Tower but also dug very deep.

That’s precisely why Tuck did not dare to act rashly; he could only investigate in secret.

After all, who can be sure that Ramore Tower hasn’t been contaminated by the Evil God?

Many city-states show no signs of terror or contamination before an outbreak.

Moreover, this time, the Ramore Tower City-State had welcomed an A-Grade genius member of the Evil God Organization.

There’s something wrong with the Ramore Tower City-State.

And Tuck’s task was to enhance his own strength amid this complex situation, ensuring his own safety.

If… he can simultaneously disrupt the plans of the Dark Sun Church,

Tuck would not hesitate to give it a fierce kick.

Even!

The opportunity to deliver a harsh kick was coming soon.

Before long, Carlos emerged from a shadowy corner.

“That guy is the son of a knight who serves as a guard for Ramore Wizard Baron.”

“His name is Ambeth.”

Carlos, who was accompanying Tuck, lowered his voice.

“His talent is ordinary, but in the High Tower Area, there are many like him.”

“After completing the baptism, that guy took a turn around as if looking for someone.”

“The likelihood is that his target is me.”

“Indeed, it’s suspicious. Should we grab him and ask?” Carlos suggested.

“We don’t have the authority to apprehend anyone in the High Tower.”

Tuck shook his head.

“Didn’t you say that his father is a knight for Count Ramore?”

“Yes!”

“Good, tell your sister, she should be able to handle it well.”

In the High Tower, Tuck, alone and unaided, naturally didn’t dare to meddle with those formidable beings.

One false move, and Tuck could very well die in vain.

But… Hilor was different.

As a sibling support wizard, she wouldn’t ignore a threat to her brother.

“Understood! I will do that!”

Carlos nodded seriously. Last time, after he’d followed Tuck and they completed the excavation of the Demon King’s Tomb,

he took credit for the accomplishment and reported it to Hilor, which landed him no small reward.

The Source Pool baptism was one of them.

Mixing with Tuck, there was meat to eat.

This simple and straightforward logic, he understood very well.

And this time, it seemed that another opportunity was coming.

Watching Carlos’s retreating figure,

Tuck rubbed his eyebrows.

“Sending someone to blatantly tail Carlos, such a crude method, is unlikely to dig up any leads, even with a deep probe.”

“On the contrary, by taking out that guy, it might make the hidden forces within the High Tower more cautious.”

“And it might also make Carlos safer. That would be like repaying Hilor for the information she gave.”

“I hope Armanti brings us some good news.”

Not until Tuck returned to the Undead Tower,

had Armanti still not sent back any information.

This made Tuck frown slightly.

“I hope nothing’s gone wrong with her performing such a task!”

“She rose two levels after the recent baptism, reaching Level 26.”

“But that Night Priest named Taniru is also no pushover, having reached Level 25.”

Thus thinking, Tuck waited quietly at the entrance of the Undead Tower.

That wait lasted more than three hours.

When an undead black dragonfly soundlessly landed next to Tuck,

he let out a breath of relief.

Before long, Armanti arrived.

“After his baptism, that priest immediately left the High Tower Area.”

“That priest appears very cautious; he even spent an hour at a pub in the Underground Nest District.”

“I used a dragonfly to follow him; in the end, he entered a house in the Bunker Area.”

“This is the address on that priest’s doorplate.”

Saying so, Armanti handed over a piece of paper with the door number written on it.

“The Bunker Area?”

Tuck, receiving the slip of paper, experienced a jolt of alertness.

According to the information Tuck had,

the priest, named Taniru, was an ordinary Tower Apprentice with decent talent.

Under normal circumstances, Taniru should be living in the High Tower.

With the “Grey Night period” imminent, Taniru should be even more likely to stay in the High Tower for study.

But, Taniru had gone to the Bunker Area.

Strictly speaking, there was nothing particularly suspicious about that.

But!

The A Grade genius of the Evil God Organization was in the Bunker Area.

Moreover, it was possible that during this “Grey Night period,” on the coldest night of the Ash Moon, the genius would undergo a promotion.

This Taniru was very likely one of the ritual participants.

After all, Taniru was also a believer of the Dark Sun.

With these thoughts, Tuck looked towards Armanti.

“Prepare in these two days; the adventure is about to begin.”

“Is it about to start?” Armanti asked, slightly surprised.

“But don’t we usually start during the Gray Day? It will enter the ‘Grey Night period’ in just a couple of days.”

“Exactly, during the ‘Grey Night period’ is when the prey truly acts!”

Tuck said slowly.
