Chapter 271 of "Exploring Technology in a Wizard World" starts revealing the story: Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Fire in the Night Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Fire in the... Donât miss it!
Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Fire in the Night Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Fire in the Night âStill donât know?â Mu Konni looked at the burly man, her eyes squinting, âSuch behavior is utterly disappointing, not at all befitting a good child. It really makes me want to throw you down a valley to die or have you torn apart by wolvesâŠââNo⊠no more,â the burly man shuddered violently as he knelt down, clinging to Mu Konniâs feet, tears streaming down his face, âMother, I⊠was wrong, I was wrong, please donât punish me, I⊠was truly wrongâŠâ
Spiritual Control Magic·First Circle Low Level·Bernâs Punishment of Anger!
Suo Men frowned deeply and said to Mu Konni, âIs this necessary? To inflict three instances of Spiritual Control Magic on an ordinary man, just to watch him weep at your feet?â
âHa,â Mu Konni smiled, her smile radiant, âDonât you find it interesting? Since missions are already so boring, one must find some amusement for oneself.â
âHmph.â Suo Men clearly did not agree. He waved his hand, and a surge of energy flew out, striking the burly manâs body harshly.
The burly man, who was crying and begging Mu Konni, shook violently, collapsed limply, and lay motionless.
After doing this, Suo Men placed his hand on the heavy wooden door, slightly pushed, and with a âbang,â the door shattered; he strode in.
However, Mu Konni glanced at the burly man, her voice full of sympathy, âYou are so pitiful. You were not supposed to die, yet you encountered a heartless person. In that case, mother cannot save you, dear sonâŠâ
After saying this, Mu Konni quietly followed Suo Men into the cellar behind the wooden door.
The cellar was large, spanning hundreds of square meters and over four meters high, not feeling cramped at all. Numerous torches lit up the walls, brightening the place. The floor was covered with a generous amount of quicklime to absorb moisture, making it impossible to feel damp. In the corners were several large water tanks filled with water, ready to prevent any potential fires. Clearly, the owner of the place was very well-prepared.
In the middle of the cellar, there were several tables. One table was entirely filled with numerous pink potions, while the others held various bottles and potions. A shabbily-dressed old man in his fifties, who was very busy and faintly emanating waves of ManaâThird-level Wizard Apprentice.
The old man was about to pour a blue potion into another red one when he suddenly heard the wooden door being violently smashed, followed by two people entering. He lifted his head, his expression wary, and loudly demanded, âWhoâs there?â
âThe one who will kill you,â Mu Konni said, walking behind. She stretched out her hand, and as if with immense suction, the old man was pulled into the air and landed in her grasp, then she tightly choked his neck.
âCough, cough, cough,â the old man struggled violently, his face turning red and his eyes bulging with numerous blood vessels showing, as he struggled to breathe.

Mu Konni grabbed the old man by the neck, dragged him to a corner, and let go; the old man collapsed on the ground, greedily gasping for fresh air. After a while, feeling like he had regained his life, he looked up at Mu Konni, but before he could speak, he heard Mu Konni say, âNow, I ask and you answer! Understand? Otherwise, I will kill you!â
The old manâs body trembled violently.
âUnderstand?!â Mu Konni said again.
The old manâs body curled up.
âUnderstand?!â Mu Konni continued.
The old man curled up into a ball, whispering in a voice as faint as a mosquito, âMom⊠mom, I⊠understandâŠâ
Three consecutive âBernâs Punishments of Angerâ!
Mu Konni started to smile, âGood, now tell meâŠâ
After a while,
Suo Men looked at the table full of âMolotovâs Flower,â his eyes flickering. Mu Konni came from behind and said, âGot it all.â
âWhatâs the situation?â
âThe potions are concocted by that old guy himself. Ha, he really struck gold,â Mu Konni said. âHe alone has the formula. Killing him would resolve the root issue. The batch that leaked earlier was his experimental product. The ones heâs now making are better, but havenât been delivered yet. The person responsible for shipping them is the innkeeper, named Max something.â
âMaxi Well,â Suo Men said. âLooks like we can clean up everything all at once.â
âHard to say.â Mu Konni suddenly thought of something and said, âThat old guy also mentioned that before this batch, he had hastily made another batch of potions, which the innkeeper had taken to the cityâs auction house, planning to auction them off in the next few days.â
âSo, we still have to go to an auction?â Suo Men asked.
âIt seems so.â
âThen letâs do that, finish up here, and then head to the auction to retrieve and destroy the potion. That would complete the mission,â Suo Men said. âAfter all, even if it werenât for this, we would still need to attend the auction.â
âIndeed.â
âLetâs go, then.â
As Suo Men spoke, he slowly moved a finger through the air, but Mu Konni quickly grabbed it.
âHold on a minute,â Mu Konni said. âSince the mission doesnât offer a reward, we need to take some advantage, donât you think?â
Suo Men didnât respond.
Mu Konni walked over to a table filled with âMolotovâs Flowerâ potions, waved her hand, and half of the potions vanished into thin air.
âThere,â Mu Konni turned around to face Suo Men. âI left you seventy percent, alright?â
âI donât need it,â Suo Men replied.
âOh, so righteous?â Mu Konni rolled her eyes.
âYou should be well aware of the hallucinogenic potions in the organization, right? And itâs not this low-grade stuff, but something much more advanced and harmless,â Suo Men said.
âOf course, I know,â Mu Konni replied. âBut you know, you need points to use the ones in the organization. So, why shouldnât I take these when theyâre free? And, are you sure you donât need any?â
âI donât need any,â Suo Men responded, stretching out a finger and slowly moving it through the air, igniting a flame at the tip, glowing golden.
âWhoosh!â
With a flick of his finger, Suo Men sent the flame flying out. It floated mid-air like a flower, burning quietly as if it posed no danger.

Suo Men then turned and walked toward the exit.
Mu Konni followed him and asked, âHow long did you set?â
âThree minutes, thatâs all we need.â
âUhâŠâ
A moment later.
Suo Men and Mu Konni walked out of the tavern and onto the street.
With a huge âboom,â an explosion erupted behind them. Flames soared, and the Golden Boots Tavern vanished amidst the fire.
Before long, numerous dark figures from the city converged on the scene to investigate. They were wizards from the White Stone Tower.
Suo Men and Mu Konni, however, had already reached a far distance.
Stopping on the street, Suo Men turned to Mu Konni and said, âLetâs part ways here. You can go rest and relax. Weâll meet again when itâs time to act at the auction.â
âAlright,â Mu Konni waved her hand and walked off to one side.
Suo Men turned and walked in the opposite direction.
