“Mentor, are there spells that are effective for making one look young?”

Zhao Xu had asked it in a roundabout way, but he was basically trying to ask how old she was.

He had a rough guess in mind.

There were spells to slow down aging temporarily in many Western legends, but they tended to have negative side effects or morally questionable ingredients.

“A wizard’s age is a secret,” laughed Antonya quietly. “But I’ve never slowed down the aging of my face.”

Zhao Xu started laughing when he heard this. Did she think he was born yesterday?

If there was a way to look so young without the use of magic, then all the women in the world would go crazy.

“Kissed by the Ages,” said Antonya.

Zhao Xu didn’t understand what Antonya was talking about at all.

“It’s a Level 9 Arcane Spell that uses a token to take effect. As long as the person receiving the effects of the spell continues to wear the token, then this person’s age will be fixed at that particular age forever. My mentor cast the spell on me before I reached the age of 20, and that’s why I still have the face and body I did at that time.”

“But the price to pay is that this body will no longer grow, and it will lock one’s wisdom as well. So if someone cast this spell on a child, he would always be only as wise as a child for as long as he wears the token. So I have been thinking about it for the past few years as well, wondering if I should just remove this necklace for a few years and let myself grow a little older first. Otherwise, I seem a little childish walking around with this face.”

Zhao Xu quietly swallowed after hearing what she said.

He didn’t expect a Level 9 spell to be enough to do this. So it didn’t take a Legendary spell to be able to make human beings immortal.

And it seemed like it wasn’t too hard to cast, and there weren’t any side effects either.

Advanced Wizards really were incredible beyond reason.

Zhao Xu couldn’t help but clench his fists as he thought these things. His desire to become a high-level wizard became even stronger than ever.

His parents and his future spouse all needed this sort of spell.

“Zhongxia, I’ll give you a chance now. I can cast this spell on you.”

Antonya’s tone of voice suddenly became rather solemn.

Zhao Xu also became serious as a result.

What Antonya was really telling him was that she was offering him the chance to live forever with no consequences.

“And what price do I have to pay for it?” asked Zhao Xu.

There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Ever since his Double Elite identity had been noticed, he seemed to be involved in one trouble or another.

He was already being watched.

Some players like him might have thought that this was just part of the game’s storyboard.

But Arthur existed for real.

Even the gods were watching them, never mind the various major powers of Arthur.

So the investment they made in the players had never stopped.

The characters native to Arthur didn’t care one bit about being fair to every player.

But the prize that Antonya was dangling in front of him – eternal life in the game, would probably make other players wonder if this NPC’s intelligence was fake.

Why would an NPC give them something that didn’t seem to have any meaning?

But Zhao Xu knew very well what this meant.

As long as this universe was real, then gaining immortality was going to be real too.

“Join our organization. When we need you, you shall work for the sake of our ideals.”

Zhao Xu was confused. “Your organization is...the Wizard Association?” He knew that was wrong a soon as he said it.

In general, most wizards would pay membership fees to the Wizard Association so that they could easily copy spell scrolls and find a place to buy scrolls and other magical materials they required.

The moment Zhao Xu became a Level 1 Wizard, he would automatically become a member and his first three years of membership fees would be waived.

There was no need to go in a roundabout way like this.

You had to spend 1,500 gold pieces if you hired someone you knew to cast a Level 9 spell, and if it was a lesser-known spell, you had to increase the offer.

A spell that could grant immortality probably costs a lot in terms of materials and the whole package might cost at least 10,000 gold pieces.

But the large majority would get stuck at just knowing a wizard who knew how to cast a spell like Kissed by the Ages and was willing to do it.

“The Wizard Association has several factions too. My organization is called The Final Scroll.”

Zhao Xu’s expression changed immediately. He quickly flipped the book in his hands back to the first few pages and started rereading the text on it.

Legend had it that the secrets of magic were originally recorded on a scroll.

The first owner of that scroll was Sisylvana, the goddess of magic.

The scroll could automatically record all the magic in the world, including Legendary spells.

Whoever owned that scroll held all the magic in the world in his hands. He could use that scroll to learn how to use legendary magic by himself.

But what made everyone truly covet this scroll so badly was...

The moment someone managed to decipher the final secret of this scroll, he could replace the goddess of magic to become the true god of magic.

The name of this scroll was ‘The Final Scroll’.

The Final Scroll was an organization created to protect this scroll.

This scroll contained a secret beyond the supernatural, so it couldn’t be taken out of Arthur, but it couldn’t be sealed within the goddess of magic’s magic kingdom either.

Zhao Xu suddenly felt that the weight on his shoulders had become heavier than before.

All he wanted was to focus on leveling up so that he could protect his family in the chaos that was to come.

He never imagined that he might suddenly be embroiled in such a phenomenal organization’s power struggles.

The goddess of magic was the most powerful deity of this age. She was chief among the gods, the most powerful, and had the most believers.

So, she was a very reliable and powerful being to hold on to.

After Zhao Xu sensed that the goddess was watching him, he had switched his religion from his Alignment to the goddess without hesitation precisely because of that fact.

But then again, without having sufficient capabilities, nobody would dare to do something like that.

Anyone who had designs on the Final Scroll definitely had backing from either other deities or Hell.

Zhao Xu really just wanted to be an ordinary character and go through life normally. He never thought that he might get involved in such a high-level organization.

He suddenly understood why that wizard in a black robe said that he would become a Cleric.

The gods weren’t omnipotent, but clerics were the spokespersons for their deities.

Divine spells were the most powerful connection between the two parties.

No matter what corner of the earth a cleric wandered to, the god he believed in would be able to find him immediately.

Even an antimagic field wouldn’t make a difference because this was a connection that went beyond the supernatural.

So the goddess needed him to be a cleric.

But the first question came back to him...

“But why me?” Zhao Xu had to think this through logically.

He wasn’t even a Level 1 Wizard.

It was true that many major powers would look for someone with potential to invest in.

But a special group like The Final Scroll didn’t really need to expand their sphere of power.

There were many small matters that they could rely on the Wizard Association or even the church of the goddess to assist them with.

What they needed were only wizards of the highest level, or even Legendary Wizards. They needed Legendary Wizards who could fight.

Sometimes a middle school would pick some potential bright sparks from an elementary school, but a university wouldn’t do something like that. They weren’t running some prodigy class.

“My Double Elite status has greater potential than others, but to a top organization like yours, it’s nothing much, isn’t it?”

Zhao Xu’s Double Elite status gave him the ability to train in both the arcane and the divine at very little cost to himself.

To many organizations, this was a valuable asset. They just needed to groom one person and they could reap twice the returns.

But that also depended on who it was. A group like The Final Scroll was the goddess of magic’s last line of defense in this universe.

So never mind a Level 9 Wizard – they definitely needed a lot of Legendary Wizards and Legendary Clerics.

“Action Points,” said Antonya suddenly.
