Chapter 1051: The Greedy Wizard
—–
Just as I expected, Ashhand was extremely shameless in coming here and offering us to become his pupil. We didn’t even know what his Circle Tier or his position in the tower at all was, but seeing how desperate he was, he probably wasn’t too high.
“I am a Magician that specializes in five elements, Fire, Light, Life, Earth, Wood, which all happen to be ones you do… Well, except Maria. But still, I would also gladly take her as my disciple. There are still things I can teach her about Curses, I am quite good at them too.”

He sure is pretending to be doing this out of goodwill, ahah.
For geniuses like us, being with him would probably slow down our growth in the organization more than anything, I bet he barely has resources.
However, that didn’t really matter right now, we were infiltrating to find clues about the cult, and once we found that, we would probably never come back here anyways.
It was an interesting place but… Eh, I prefer the Adventurer Guild and my Druid Guild.
Rita had registered in here before I think, but she was able to just register again with this new identity, the System simply moves according to what NPC do, so if you can convince them you’re a different person, then it doesn’t matter.
“For sure! Right guys?” I asked my friends.
“It would be an honor; we are really grateful. We never thought we would be chosen by an esteemed wizard so soon,” Hendrick nodded.
“Yeah… thank you so much,” Maria said.
“Thanks!” Erika said.
“Hohoh, well, I couldn’t possibly leave behind such talented new students,” laughed Ashhand. “How about I give you a tour around the entire tower to start with?”
Wow, really? That was easier than I imagined!

Oh, a Title! I wonder if it’ll still count after we escape? Well, I hope that doesn’t happen I guess.
But if that’s the case, then I’ll probably drop the façade and then register using my real Player appearance.

[You gained +500 MP and WIS!]
Oh wow, this is nice, one thousand MP and five hundred INT and WIS right away!
I think these stats, once added, won’t go anywhere, it just the other effects that might go away, which is really nice.
Can’t believe I ended benefiting from this entire fraud, might as well continue with the entire fraud and get as many goodies as possible out of this greedy wizard.
…
Ah, I’ve become quite dishonest and greedy, huh? This world has sure changed me.
Anyways, moving on…
“Master Ashhand, I’ve heard this scholarship includes things such as magic materials to grow our magic circles, and even grimoires to obtain spells or even the rare magic skills, is this true?” I wondered.
“Ah, of course it is! Please, accompany me as we explore the tower, I shall bring you to my office where we can talk more in deep about everything. Tomas, you come along as well,” Ashhand said.
“Ah, of course master,” Tomas nodded.
Using a floating platform, the old wizard led us across the gigantic library that the tower was, there were hundreds of doors of many colors and shapes, each one leading to a different space, a little world made by Merlinus with a certain purpose.
We explored over a dozen of them while we moved upstairs, there were some Ashhand personally managed, such as Runic Magic Smithies, Potential Cube Forgeries, Alchemical Furnaces, Exploration and Hunting Fields, Mining Areas, and even Farming Zones. He had everything Tomas had explained before.
“So many areas! Do you manage them all?” Erika asked.
“Why, yes! I get a big cut of all the earnings,” nodded Ashhand. “I am quite wealthy even in high society standards. Did you like the trip, my young pupils? All of that will also be yours from now on, I shall personally teach you how to use every section to your advantage. I need you to become very strong quickly, so you can begin earning great achievements.”
Of course you want…
“And here we are, my office,” he gently knocked a red door floating over a platform, which quickly opened, leading to a large castle in the middle of a small, floating island in a completely blue sky.
