A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

"...Wizards with gamer characteristics can earn 'wishing coins' through their own actions." Li Wei said, "And they can realize their wishes by consuming wishing coins."

"Depending on the strength of the wish, the number of wishing coins consumed varies."

"So the reason why Jinshan Drug Tyrant keeps doing pranks that make us confused is actually to earn wishing coins?" Reese said.

"It should be like this." Li Wei said, "And while doing these things, he also needs to consume wishing coins, so I think he can only guarantee a balance of income and expenditure at most, and there won't be much margin."

"And he is used to running away in confusion several times, and does not use wishes until critical moments, which can prove this."

Cruise nodded: "Then it's easy, let's continue our operation."

"Since he can make a wish, we will go up one by one until his wishing coins are used up."

……

It was a few days later that William met Ailian for the second time.

As the potter left and his consciousness returned to his body, William blinked and raised his head.

He was sitting in an old house, which was once a mountain manor of the Metalia family - a long time ago, but now this place can no longer be found in the Metalia family's ledgers. It was a relative Safe hiding place.

There were two other people in the room, Rebecca and Benjamin. Standing nearby, I didn’t know whether they were guards or servants.

In front of him was Metalia's godfather, Elaine sitting solemnly to one side. Just now Buster was talking to the potter about Elaine.

William couldn't hear clearly. It seemed that Buster was asking if Ellen's financial support was enough to bear the power of the gods.

Mr. Potter's answer was as weird as ever:

"It's up to you."

It sounded like he was talking about whether Buster's witchcraft was reliable. Perhaps because of this, Buster's eyes became cold and he glanced at William with disgust.

Hey hey...I didn't say that...

William complained softly, and then saw Buster standing up.

He adjusted his collar and looked at Rebecca and Benjamin: "It will be over in a few days. Don't let any accidents happen during this period."

Several people on the side bowed their heads and saluted, watching him put one hand in his pocket and push the door open to leave.

Yea, he has such a bad temper, I don’t know how Mr. Potter fell in love with him... William muttered.

After a few days of getting along with each other, he was no longer as afraid of the Metalia family members as before.

The main reason is that he knows that there is a Mr. Potter behind him. He is not a role, but that person is not easy to mess with. He does not dare to embarrass himself casually.

Soon, Benjamin also looked at his watch, said goodbye and left, leaving only Rebecca, Eileen and him in the room.

Unlike the rest of the Metalia family, Rebekah has a gentle personality and isn't even interested in improving her rating.

Now she is sitting on a stool nearby with her eyes closed.

Her mission was to keep an eye on Elian, so she had to follow her every step of the way, but other than that, Rebecca did not restrict Elian's freedom too much.

William looked at the white-haired girl. She looked unchanged, and even looked better. Maybe it was because she was able to eat well every day.

Although they were chased by Robbins' men and lacked everything but food.

Although he doesn't know the principle, Buster can easily grow wheat, onions, cabbage... and even sheep in the ground.

Maybe this is the strength of B-level farmers... William thought randomly, and then noticed that Ailian seemed to be staring at him.

"William...?" After staring for a long time, the girl suddenly asked.

"Yes, it's me." William was a little surprised, couldn't she see it?

However, after hearing the affirmative answer, Ailian suddenly smiled happily.

"I wasn't sure just now. The color of your soul suddenly changed a lot. I almost didn't recognize it."

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that she can see spirits... Did she say that my color changed because I was possessed by Mr. Potter?

Thinking of this, William shook his head and said: "That person just now was not me, it should be another person. This matter is a bit complicated..."

He thought Ailian would continue to ask something, but she didn't. Instead, she said "hmm" in a sensible manner.

William looked at her again.

"Did they do something to you?" William said, turning his head to look at Rebecca.

Fortunately, she didn't seem to care and just sat quietly with her eyes closed.

"Are you talking about Mr. Metalia? I, I don't know..." Eileen's smile faded a little, "Every time I lie in bed, they give me something to drink, and then I lose it. Aware."

"That's right." William put on an apologetic wry smile, "Sorry, I'm not a good person."

Both men fell silent.

After that day, Ailian already knew the purpose of William coming to her. Although she didn't quite understand it, it seemed that someone was going to use her body to do something.

And from what she heard, it didn't seem like it was a good thing.

Will you die?

Ailian didn't know that in the dead of night, she also had times when she was confused and scared.

but……

Ailian suddenly raised her head and smiled again: "I don't blame you, William."

"Actually, you don't have to blame yourself. You were forced by others, right? Just like me, right?"

William was startled for a moment, then slowly raised his head, but did not speak.

"Moreover, since I came here, I have been able to eat well every day...and no matter where I go, Rebecca will follow me. I don't have to fumble around the wall like before." Eileen then took off the cloth strips from her eyes. Pointing to himself, he smiled and said, "Look, Rebecca even put medicine on my eyes."

William looked over and saw that what she said was true. The pus in her eye sockets had been cleaned up, and tender new flesh had grown on the wound. Although it was still scary, it was not as scary as before.

Her body had also been carefully washed, and her white hair and body, which was also white and pink, looked even more delicate.

Ailian seemed to feel the two of them looking at each other. She kept smiling and looking happy.

However, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

……

The last period of the morning was math class. After class, Charlie walked out of the classroom and found Mende and Hermani.

"Good afternoon, Charlie." Hermione greeted easily. They were no longer so formal and could be considered friends.

"Good afternoon." Charlie said.

After the mystery of "magic" was solved, the two of them should be less curious. At least Charlie enjoyed a rare morning where he could study with confidence...

However, at this time, Mende excitedly took out something from his bag, which seemed to be a form.

"Come and see this!" Mende said.

The other two people came over curiously. This is...a club application form?

Charlie was immediately alert: "What do you want to do?"

"Of course we should set up a club, an occult club! Just like the Skeleton Club at Yale University." He said excitedly, "We can use this to find more wizards, and we can also look for the legends in our lives. Maybe Many legends are true!”

"How about it, this must be interesting, right?"

As he said that, he looked at Charlie, but then he found that the latter's expression was frozen on his face, and he remained frozen for three or four seconds.

"Charlie?" Mende asked doubtfully.
