I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 164 - 164 156 This is called a gear explosion

?Chapter 164: 156 This is called a gear explosion Chapter 164: 156 This is called a gear explosion The address of the Shenhou City Witches’ Association is located next to the ‘Shenhou City Amusement Park’ in the old town district of the city, reached by walking along a stone path beside a small zoo, inside a gigantic building called ‘Ghost House Adventure’.

Lin An followed Chen Xinmi, and occasionally a pair of young lovers would scream and run past him, chased by an employee wearing a bull’s head mask.

Upon seeing Chen Xinmi, the employee hastily stopped, pulled off the bull’s head mask, revealing a cow’s head, and bowed to her, “President!”

Chen Xinmi glanced at the bull’s head mask in her hand, “You sure know how to have fun.”

“Hehehe~~” The bull-headed person chuckled merrily, scratching his head, and upon seeing the couple running back in madness, he quickly hid the bull’s head mask behind his back and snarled at them with a grimace, “Ahhhhh~~~”
The couple screamed along, “Ahhhhh~~~”
They ran, she chased, they couldn’t escape even if they sprouted wings.

“…” Lin An watched this scene with a bizarre expression, then turned to look at Chen Xinmi.

Chen Xinmi watched him with a smile that was not quite a smile, “Stealing witchcraft without the capability, they were eroded by witchcraft and turned into these strange appearances.”

Lin An took a deep breath and nodded without saying anything.

“There’s a merchant school among the foreign witch-hunting knights that advocates that everything has value, hoping that everyone will be more tolerant of wizards.”

As Chen Xinmi led Lin An through the dimly-lit ghost house, she casually relayed some of her observations, “They use the method of witchcraft erosion to create a lot of beastmen.”

“At first, I heard those with rabbit ears were the most valuable, but then someone told me that there are people who like centaurs, because they have two …”

Her face was full of disgust and nausea as she turned to look at Lin An.

“I told you this because the style of the Antler Witch Hunter Knights of Shenhou City is relatively mild, but don’t think that all witch-hunting knights in the world are the same.”

“Going undercover in Lu Jiao, seeing so much, you might think all witch-hunting knights are like this, but you would definitely suffer a loss.”

“Witch-hunting knights are just an international byword, the development of the times is so rapid, in just a few decades of the modern era, countless schools have formed.”

“The past’s most detested conservative demon hunters would now be considered normal, pastoralists, witch-hunting merchants, blood bag wholesalers, faith believers …”

“The evil of wizards is beyond your imagination, and the evil of witch-hunting knights is also beyond your imagination.”

“On this Transcendent path doomed to despair, there are far too many such fallen ones.”

Lin An pursed his lips as he listened, imagining the terrible things hidden beneath these titles.

He nodded sincerely, “Thank you for the warning.”

Chen Xinmi, with a cigarette in her mouth and hands tucked into her coat pockets, looked deeply at Lin An and said no more, leading the way deeper inside.

Winding through the ghost house, they eventually arrived at a dark corridor without lights, where the ventilation ducts on the ceiling produced a weird whirring sound, a place no one would want to go.

This passage seemed to be a crack between several walls, with many corner turns.

Chen Xinmi beckoned Lin An and squeezed through a gap cluttered with sundries and walls; it was not spacious, allowing only for sideways walking.

Halfway through, she opened an old wooden cabinet, crawled inside, and closed the cabinet door behind her.

She gently knocked on the cabinet door six times, and suddenly the door opened.

Bright light appeared before them.

Lin An crouched and followed Chen Xinmi inside, and when he looked back, it was a single-door, sapphire blue refrigerator, with no passage inside when opened.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Xinmi turned to glance at him.

Lin An suddenly noticed Chen Xinmi’s face had become somewhat blurry, and when he looked back at the refrigerator door, his own face reflected dimly and similarly blurred.

It seemed to be a large hall, and looking up, there was no ceiling, they could see the branches and leaves of the forest surrounding the building and the full moon high in the sky.

Moonlight spread throughout the hall.

Chen Xinmi talked with a girl at the central circular service desk whose face was also blurry about some arrangements, then she led Lin An towards a corner of the hall.

There was an elevator there; Lin An looked up and beyond the two-meter-high walls there were only trees, with no building structure above the elevator.

But once they got onto the elevator and ascended, they quickly arrived at a vast office.

“You had three requests before. First, you needed to read the witchcraft in the box together, which I have done,” (148)
“Second, you required materials on the early witches’ study of the Breathing Skill, which I have already had someone deliver.”

“Third, you needed an item or method to conceal things.”

Chen Xinmi gestured to the wooden wolf head Lin An was holding in his hand, “I can provide you with a witchcraft for concealing items, or I can create a magical artifact for you, using it as the main carrier for your portable space.”

Lin An was astonished, “I heard from the Witch Hunter Knights that there isn’t any witchcraft for personal mobile spaces in this world. If there were, one should be cautious of Sorcerer Zombies returning from the Spirit Realm…”

Chen Xinmi scoffed coldly, “The training versions of the Witch Hunter Knights have always been updating, are we wizards supposed to stand still?”

“Uh…” Lin An set down the wooden wolf head. For some reason, it had been shrinking continuously; from the size of a large double-door refrigerator at first, it was now nearly as small as a washbasin.

“There are many stringent conditions.”

Chen Xinmi pointed to the wooden wolf head on the table that was visibly shrinking bit by bit, “Such witchcraft materials are hard to come by, even Witch Hunter Knights who often hunt wizards rarely come across them.”

“Moreover, it fits particularly well with space-related witchcraft.”

“If your information is not incorrect, then I would guess it’s because of the ‘Heart-to-Heart Skewer Fragrance Witchcraft’. The Grey Wolf Witch Ghoul has inherited some abilities from the Kapok male wizard.”

As she said this, she glanced at Lin An, “Tree holes made from the roots of the banyan tree, used to create the Tree Hole Organization’s headquarters.”

“I don’t know how he did it, but if I were to do it, I could only make a space of one cubic meter for you.”

“If you don’t want it, this valuable casting material might later be used to assist in performing some space-related witchcraft.”

Lin An didn’t hesitate and firmly said, “Turn it into a personal space artifact.”

As he became more involved with the Antler Witch Hunter Knights, all those witchcraft artifacts, financial documents, the Three-legged Wooden Toad Stone Treasure given by Chen Xinmi, and others, procured from Mr. Liu’s side, had become extremely noticeable.

More and more people were visiting his home, wizards Chen Xinmi Chen Shuyun, Demon Hunter Feng Xin, the young boss…

Who knows who else might come in the future.

He didn’t want to expose certain things because of this and put himself in danger.

“Remember, the current technology for such witchcraft artifacts is not good,” Chen Xinmi warned Lin An. “Firstly, it cannot be taken into Purgatory Space; otherwise, it might explode due to instability.”

Lin An was taken aback, “Explode?”

Chen Xinmi nodded, “Yes, everything inside will fall out.”

…

Boom~
The banyan tree trembled, and the houses hanging from its branches suddenly exploded, flinging countless items all around.

Sofas, pillars, books, century egg and lean pork congee, even windows tumbling through the air…

So much, so extravagant.

The Witch Hunter Knights scrambled for cover.

“Ha~” Zhuang laughed, “This is awesome!”

Doctor Zhang chuckled, “You don’t understand, mate, this is called loot explosion!”

It wasn’t just objects; the tiny house, similar to a figurine, shockingly contained about a dozen living people!

Indeed, they were the male wizards hiding in the Tree Hole Headquarters.

The banyan tree’s wooden face on the trunk was filled with sorrow, “All plans gone to waste! The pain~~~”
Seeing so many Witch Hunter Knights surrounding the place, the male wizards began fleeing.

But with almost the entire Antler Witch Hunter Knights encircling the area, they could hardly let these wizards escape.

As a wizard died amidst a pitiful, terrible scream, the others began casting their witchcraft.

They seemed to possess extremely powerful Dark Witchcraft, actually starting to contend with the Antler Witch Hunter Knights.

And Professor Cao, the strongest among them, was entangled by the banyan tree, as chaos erupted all around.
