I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 85 - 85 080 Please give me an opportunity to dedicate myself

?Chapter 85: 080 Please give me an opportunity to dedicate myself to the organization! Chapter 85: 080 Please give me an opportunity to dedicate myself to the organization! The other witch-hunting knights obviously didn’t speak as much as Zhuang. After a few words, the atmosphere gradually cooled down, and Zhuang’s rough, angry voice echoed through the hall once again.

“At the end of the day, the Antler Witch Hunter Knights, inaction! Inaction is just inaction, there’s nothing to argue about! If this continues, we will eventually be swallowed up by other witch hunter knights!”

“The Black Cat Wizard must be found!”

“The Eyeball Witch Monster must be found too!”

“But ‘Ghost Face’ and ‘Kapok Tree,’ these two wizards are the key. They have gained momentum. They are recruiting those wizards who would have been killed by us at the first sign of trouble, allowing these damned wizards the chance to grow step by step and become powerful!”

Zhuang coldly surveyed everyone, “Let me tell you the outcome!”

“The wizards continue to develop until Shenhou City can no longer contain them, then their influence begins to spread to other cities.”

“By then, our reputation in Antler will be completely ruined.”

“And then, wizards protected by them will have the chance to enhance their power, and wizards from other cities who can’t survive there will also come here, eventually leading to an influx of Sorcerer Zombies in Shenhou City!”

“Finally, we will be unable to deal with so many Sorcerer Zombies, and the witch hunter knights from other cities will come to help and take the opportunity to swallow up the Antler Witch Hunter Knights!”

“Do you think I’m exaggerating the danger?”

“Ah?”

Zhuang’s roar did not elicit a response from everyone; they all seemed like statues.

He was still yelling, “We can’t find the Eyeball Witch Monster, the Black Cat Wizard is toying with us, and Ghost Face disappears and reappears unpredictably. This makes me very angry; we’re all very angry. But anger won’t solve anything. If we want to prevent the wizards from causing trouble and keep other cities’ witch hunter knights from getting involved, we have to take action.”

“Starting with the issue that could lead to the worst-case scenario.”

“I propose we prioritize targeting the ‘Kapok Tree,’ and first wipe out the ‘Mad Warlock’s Hollow’ Organization!”

He coldly looked at everyone, “Isn’t this an easy analysis to make?”

“So you’re saying…” the skinny man in a lab coat who was squatting on a chair looked up at him, “you plan to become our leader, to give orders and dictate strategy?”

“Fuck your mother!” Zhuang exploded in anger, lifting up the huge rosewood sofa behind him with one hand and violently throwing it at him.

The huge and heavy sofa flew with a loud whooshing sound, but was caught by Doctor Zhang, who reached out his hands.

“Hey, don’t do this, don’t do this~” Doctor Zhang tried to calm things down.

“Leaders, leaders…” Zhuang roared in anger, pointing at the skinny man in the lab coat and at everyone else, “Because of this damn issue, everyone is like loose sand, even though we all know what’s most important, still stubbornly refusing to act.”

Having said this, he pointed at Professor Cao angrily, “Mr. Cao, can’t you take some responsibility, step up, and lead everyone?”

Only then did Professor Cao slowly open his eyes. After a long silence, he spoke in a deep voice, “I retired from the imperial academy and came back to settle in Shenhou City not to become everyone’s leader, but because my mind is getting duller.”

“I…”

“Am slowly becoming almost unable to think.”

At those words, everyone fell silent.

Lin An noticed that no matter what expressions the witch-hunting knights had before, their faces were filled with sorrow upon hearing this, and the skinny man in the lab coat bowed his head, quietly wiping away tears.

“What you just described won’t happen,”
Professor Cao’s voice carried a calm strength, “If necessary, I can sacrifice my Antler, and overnight I could eliminate all the wizards.”

But to do this…

The price would be Professor Cao’s own life.

Thump~
Doctor Zhang slammed his hand on the armrest, giving Professor Cao an angry look, “I disagree, sacrificing, sacrificing—do you want to make the ‘Jia’ Vein be eradicated too?”

He pointed to the half-empty seats in the great hall, “You take a look for yourself. Because of this lousy method of sacrifice, we’ve already lost half of our support veins!”

Witch hunter knights can sacrifice their Seven Emotions and Six Desires to the Antler to obtain powerful strength it provides, and likewise, they can sacrifice the Antler for their own use.

But that means the Antler, handed down generation after generation, would eventually be destroyed all at once, and humans receiving such an immense power would utterly collapse, leaving not even scraps behind.

To use life as the foundation to achieve an unstoppable final blow.

However, squandering generational savings in one night, cutting off a hand today, chopping off a foot tomorrow, the Antler Witch Hunter Knights have step by step become crippled like this.

“I…” Professor Cao wanted to say something more.

“You keep your mouth shut!” Doctor Zhang glared at him fiercely, then turned to scan all those present, “I propose we vote on whether we should devote all our efforts to dealing with the male witch ‘Kapok Tree’ and eradicate his shelter, the ‘Mad Warlock’s Hollow’?”

Zhuang was the first to raise his hand, “I agree!”

The skinny man in the lab coat also raised his hand, “Agreed!”

Then, one by one, each of them made their position clear, achieving their goal for this phase.

The small business owner seemed visibly excited by this turn of events.

Lin An quietly sighed with relief on the side; it looked like they wouldn’t be targeting him any time soon.

The Eyeball Witch Monster, the Black Cat, dedicate all efforts to searching and confronting; mama mia~, just listening to these plans was suffocating.

The atmosphere in the Witch Hunter Knights’ hall finally lightened a bit, and everyone began to discuss how to deal with the male witch ‘Kapok Tree’ and the organization ‘Mad Warlock’s Hollow’.

But these topics soon stalled because the witches were too good at hiding; they had no clue how to find them.

“I have a suggestion, hear me out,” the young boss said, his excitement carrying him forward from the back rows. He hesitated and didn’t take his father’s old seat as the Yi Vein Speaker; he simply stood next to it, “I know how to solve this puzzle!”

Suddenly, he became the center of attention, passionately gesturing as he spoke, “We find someone to pretend to be a newly awakened wizard. It has to be a male; the Male Witch Organization will naturally come knocking to recruit him. That way, we can infiltrate the enemy from within.”

He patted his chest, “When it comes to these kinds of corporate espionage tactics, no one understands them better than I do!”

“I volunteer, I offer myself!”

“This is nonsense!” Professor Cao opened his eyes and rebuked him sharply, “This is a meeting of branch leaders. What right do you have to speak up? Go back and sit down!”

“Exactly,” Doctor Zhang stood up, grabbed the small boss, and forcefully pushed him towards a seat at the back. Seeing that the small boss still wanted to argue, he couldn’t help but shoot him a glare.

Roar~
Diamond Wrathful Eyes!

In an instant, the small boss seemed petrified with fright, pulled by Doctor Zhang to a seat next to Lin An, sitting there dumbfounded, with a vacant look in his eyes.

“Keep an eye on him,” Doctor Zhang said to Lin An before returning to his original seat.

They say it was nonsense, but this plan was actually more reliable than the previous ‘Lure the snake out of the hole’ strategy discussed. With a new idea, the discussion resumed.

“Disguising as a wizard is indeed a good plan, especially for a newly awakened one; that’s even simpler.” Zhuang rubbed his hands together with a sly grin, “I bet we Witch Hunter Knights understand wizards better than the wizards themselves!”

“Indeed!” A middle-aged man with a large belly tapped the soft leather of the sofa rapidly with his fingers, looking very pleased with himself, “The Inverse Furnace, hey? We can just find one of those faulty sacred artifacts from the warehouse and have someone wear it. The excessive emotional fluctuations will make them look just like a wizard.”

“Then we add some of the spoils from our previous witch-hunting operations, like materials for witchcraft and witchcraft notebooks and such. This will ensure our undercover agent is particularly competitive and can swiftly penetrate into the core circles of the Witch Organization.”

“And an enchanted bracelet, right? I remember we once confiscated such an item that could passively channel emotions to unleash significantly weakened witchcraft. Isn’t that essentially imitating the effect of Innate Witchcraft?”

The skinny man perched in his chair looked up at him and sneered, “Yeah, if our spy turns traitor, we’d be quite literally warming the enemy with our kindness.”

The corpulent man paused, his expression freezing briefly, before he continued speaking with a grin, “Look at what you’re saying. We just need to find someone reliable, that’s all.”

“The choice of person still needs to be considered, but this method is indeed viable.” Another Witch Hunter Knight narrowed his eyes, “A spy turning traitor may be due to character or forced by circumstances. After we select the right person, we must also prevent them from being coerced into betrayal.”

He turned to look at Professor Cao, “I recall your father once made a set of transformative armor that could change appearance and body shape?”

Professor Cao nodded and pointed behind him towards the Bronze Gate, “It’s kept inside there.”

Then, everyone began to carefully analyze every single detail.

Back in his seat, Lin An’s eyes shone brightly. This was his chance! He swiftly realized this was an opportunity!

First, if he became the spy, then he no longer had to worry about accidentally exposing his wizard identity. After all, it was they who wanted him to pose as a wizard.

Makes perfect sense!

Next, him going to Chen Shuyun’s yoga studio to study flexibility and sort out his emotions now had a legitimate excuse. Should Chen Shuyun and the other witches ever be exposed, his dealings with other wizards would also have a reason; he could claim it was all part of an undercover operation.

Lastly, the transformative armor? If he could use this undercover opportunity to enter ‘Mad Warlock’s Hollow’, not only could he gain much knowledge that a novice wizard should know, but maybe he could also find the chance to kill Mr. Liu.

After all, Mr. Liu was a relative of Chen Xinmi, his parents’ mole in Antler Software. Pinning the blame for killing Mr. Liu on the Male Witch Organization would be perfect.

“As for the candidate…” Everyone’s discussion seemed hesitant in the end.

“Me!” Lin An stood up abruptly, his face flushed with excitement, his eyes bloodshot, looking as if he were heroically ready for sacrifice. He marched forward from the back with head held high and chest out.

“I volunteer, I offer myself!”

“Please give me a chance to dedicate myself to the organization!”
