A Man Like None Other

Chapter 4129 Gambling With His Life

“It seems like the Alchemist Guild is truly desperate. They even brought out the Lifeshield Pill.”

“What a pity. If only I knew array craft…”

“The Lifeshield Pill is a life-saving divine medicine, isn’t it?”

Everyone was abuzz with conversation, each person regretting not having learned array craft.

“What exactly is the Lifeshield Pill?” Jared asked, a look of confusion on his face as he turned to Viola.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s the top-secret divine medicine of the Central Alchemist Guild. I heard that consuming the Lifeshield Pill could solidify one’s bodily spirit. Even if the physical body was destroyed, the bodily spirit could safely escape, preserving one’s life. That’s why many people referred to this Lifeshield Pill as a life-saving divine medicine. As long as one’s bodily spirit was intact, it could essentially grant them a second chance at life,” Viola explained.

Jared’s interest was instantly piqued. So, he promptly raised his hand high and declared, “I can fix the Teleportation Array…”

Wyatt gave Jared a skeptical glance, then asked with a hint of disbelief, “My friend, I’m not in the mood for jokes. If you can really fix the Teleportation Array, the five Lifeshield Pills will be yours right away. But if you fail to fix it, waste time, and even damage the Teleportation Array, then don’t blame me for being rude.”

Wyatt found it hard to believe in Jared, primarily because he was too young and his abilities didn’t seem particularly impressive.

“If I fail to fix it, I’m ready to leave my life behind!”

Jared strode confidently toward Wyatt.

Upon hearing Jared’s words, Viola and Sigurd were taken aback.

Why is he gambling with his life? The other alchemists also sized up Jared. They were surprised that Jared, a young man, who spoke without considering the weight of his words, had even risked his life.

Wyatt hadn’t expected Jared to say such a thing, and for a moment, he was caught off guard.

Upon seeing the situation, Kellan quickly chided Jared, “Kid, this Teleportation Array has been around for thousands of years. It’s an ancient arcane array, not the kind you can casually manipulate as you imagine. You better think this through, lest you lose your life here for nothing…”

In reality, Kellan had Jared’s best interests at heart. After all, Jared was young and fearless, completely oblivious to the complexity of the Teleportation Array.

Risking his life here was absolutely not worth it.

Jared gave a slight smile and said, “Thank you for the reminder, my friend. But if I dare to risk my life, then I must be confident in my ability to fix it…”

Hearing that, Kellan chose not to say anything further.

Instead, it was Wyatt who responded. “All right, if you can’t fix it, I won’t take your life. However, you must leave your hands and feet as a form of punishment. Otherwise, this Teleportation Array will be completely ruined if anyone can just come and fix it!”

“It’s a deal, then…”

Jared nodded, then proceeded toward the Teleportation Array. After circling the Teleportation Array, Jared crouched down to rearrange the array runes on the ground.

Perhaps due to years of neglect, some of the array runes on the ground had become quite faded.

Even though someone had maintained them, the array runes were still blurry.

“What are you doing? You can’t just mess with the array runes. If they’re altered even slightly, the Teleportation Array will be completely ruined.”

Upon seeing the situation, Kellan hurriedly moved forward to stop Jared.

This was an ancient arcane array. No one knew which powerful figure had left these array runes behind. If anyone tampered with these array runes, then the entire Teleportation Array would be destroyed.

After all, every array rune for all the arcane arrays had its own rules. If the position was altered, then it was all over.

“Hey kid, what are you up to? If you dare to destroy the Teleportation Array, I’ll take your life!” Wyatt bellowed.

Each Teleportation Array was the lifeline of the Alchemist Guild. The reason why the Central Alchemist Guild was established in such a desolate town was due to the presence of the Teleportation Array here.

If the Teleportation Array were to disappear, the Central Alchemist Guild would be on the brink of decline.

The Teleportation Array of the Northern Alchemist Guild had become unusable, leading to a steady decline in the overall strength of the alchemists in the northern region.

Now, there weren’t many senior alchemists throughout the northern region, let alone those who could participate in the Alchemist Fair.

Wyatt certainly didn’t want the Central Alchemist Guild to end up like that.
