My Muscle System in the Mage World

Chapter 244: Conflict with Elmer

Almer briefly paused when he heard this. With his thick robes covering his entire face by the hood, Noah couldn't discern the expression of the old man.

However, he knew one thing for certain: the old man couldn't reply to his answer.

"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?"

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.
