The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 106 Three Happinesses Come to the Door
June 7, afternoon.

Lynn returned to Cuilin City.

He parked the Lu Xingzhou in the return position and got out of the car with Daphne and Clifford.

Wilfer did not join them, but went to Outpost 38 to receive punishment.

“Sir Lin, here are five intermediate magic stones as extra compensation for my reckless behavior. I hope you will not take the previous incident to heart.

"If I have the opportunity to visit Yinhuan College in the future, I will definitely give you a good reception."

When Clifford said goodbye, he found Lynn alone again, handed him a purse, and spoke to him very sincerely.

"I don't care, Sir Clifford. After all, it's all Wilfer's fault." Lynn smiled politely and said nice words while taking the purse without hesitation.

5 intermediate magic stones were equivalent to 500 primary magic stones, only 600 less than the 100 primary magic stones that Clifford had compensated previously.

All in all, Clifford had paid 1100 primary magic stones to express his apology and eliminate the hatred between the two!
Even more than the 800 primary magic stones that Wilfer compensated.

Clifford did show enough sincerity!

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Clifford said goodbye and left.

Daphne, who was standing politely in the distance, had not left yet. She came over again and after confirming that Clifford had gone far away, she took out a silver-purple ring and said slowly:

“Your concealment skills are indeed extraordinary, the only drawback is that some traces will be revealed when you walk.

"If my inference is correct, this Dark Light Ring that has constant 0-ring superior witchcraft 'Traceless and Traceless' can just make up for the shortcomings of your witchcraft."

Lin En was slightly startled, but did not rush to take it. Instead, he asked in confusion:
"Ms. Daphne, what is this?"

"It's just a small gift." Daphne smiled.

Lin En took a look at the exquisitely crafted and obviously valuable magic tools in her hands.

"This will cost at least several hundred primary magic stones..."

Lynn thought, and when he looked at Daphne again, he inexplicably felt that this lovely girl in front of him had an air of wealth.

"If I'm not mistaken, Clifford came to you earlier to repair the relationship, and the purpose of my gift is the same."

"I'm not that narrow-minded. Lady Daphne is the only person who didn't attack me. How could I hold a grudge against her?" Lin En said frankly.

"If you don't hold a grudge, that would be great. Just think of it as a gift between friends." Daphne smiled.

Later, Lin En only took half a day and some basic materials from Lu Xingzhou to successfully repair the hub of the witch formation.

After they reported the mission, another first-level wizard came to inspect the hub of the wizard array. The result was that there was no problem with the hub, and it was basically the same as if it had not been damaged.

Such attainments in wizard formations are extremely rare even among the first-class wizard apprentices of the Silver Ring Academy.

It's already worth Daphne's initiative to make friends.

Lin En pondered for a moment and took the ring: "Thank you, Lady Daphne."

"You're welcome." Daphne smiled.

In addition to the knowledge of witchcraft, she actually appreciated Lin En's previous handling methods more.

At that time, Wilfer pushed Lynn to the opposite side of everyone, but Lynn completely turned the situation around with just a few words, not only resolving the crisis but also reaping huge benefits.

Lynn actually had many options at the time, but none of them would have brought better results than the current option.

"There are only eternal interests in this world, not eternal hatred..." Daphne whispered in her heart and said goodbye to Lynn with a smile.

After the two of them left, Lin En finally felt a little relaxed, and his eyes showed some fatigue from days of running around.

But soon, this fatigue was replaced by joy!

'Clifford compensated a total of 11 intermediate magic stones. Daphne only compensated 5 intermediate magic stones in order not to stand out. But this witch tool later was worth at least 5 or 6 intermediate magic stones.

'As for Wilfer, it's 8 intermediate magic stones... heh.

'Anyway, the total magic stone income is 24 intermediate magic stones, which is 2400 primary magic stones, and there is also a dark light ring, plus the 300 primary magic stones for the task itself... In total, this mission has a total income of 3300 primary magic stones! '

The corners of Lin En's mouth curled up, and he was very excited.

More than three thousand primary magic stones. It was the first time he had seen so much money!
'I wonder how many magic stones Daphne's witch robes cost?'

Lin En thought a little inflated and rushed to the school.

……

"Congratulations on successfully completing the mission. I have read the details of the mission. You did a great job, Lin En."

In the office, Grace's expression softened.

"I will give you a maximum score of 10 for this practical task.

"Besides, you don't need to worry about the Silver Ring Academy named Wilfer. The Horsens School is your solid backing."

"I understand, thank you Teacher Grace." Lynn nodded in response.

The school was indeed his solid backing, but after a while, when he went to Yinhuan College, this backing seemed a little distant.

……

Once the formalities for completing the task were completed, the reward was immediately distributed.

Lin En brought the school badge and rushed to the library of the Horsens School without stopping, and immediately exchanged it for the Golden Mist Shadow Technique!

"Are you sure you want to redeem this flying magic?
"I have to remind you that this witchcraft is quite difficult to practice. If you don't have talent, it will waste a lot of your precious time."

The first-level wizard on duty reminded.

"I'm sure." Lynn didn't hesitate.

The first-level wizard didn't say anything else. He took the school badge and magic stone from Lin En's hand and completed the exchange process.

The 355 contribution points of the Horzens School were suddenly reduced to only 5 points.

Fortunately, there are still plenty of magic stones. Not counting the assets such as magic tools, Lin En still has about 3000 primary magic stones in total.

It can be said that he is quite wealthy!
Moreover, although the contribution points of the Horsens School were almost consumed, Lin En still had 10 Silver Ring Contribution Points.

"I don't know what I can do with 10 silver ring contribution points..."

……

……

Finally, when it was getting dark, Lynn returned home.

"Master, you're back!" Adeline greeted him with a smile.

"Ask the servants to prepare some hot water for me and make dinner." Lin En ordered. After submitting the task and exchanging the Golden Mist Shadow Technique, he finally relaxed.

"Yes, Master," Adeline replied, preparing to make dinner for Lynn.

"Adeline, is everything okay while I was away?" Lynn thought for a moment and asked again.

"Everything is fine. Yesterday, Sir Lucas sent a letter and left it in your study."

Lucas...Lin En's heart moved slightly, could it be...

Lin En, who had just sat on the sofa, stood up again with some excitement and walked quickly to the study on the second floor.

Lynn quickly found the letter, opened it, and after reading it, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face!
'It really is news about the Lightless Stone!

"If you count carefully, apart from the compensation and the exchange of the Golden Mist Shadow Technique, this is already the third good news today. It's really a triple blessing!"

……

……

At night, in the meditation room, Lin En was holding two primary magic stones and studying the Golden Mist Shadow Technique.

After being promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice, his own source energy was increased again, reaching 2 points, and is still growing.

Lin En estimated that by the time he reached the peak of a first-class wizard apprentice, if he only increased his spirit, his own source energy should be able to reach about 2.5 points.

但无论是2点还是2.5点，窥理的所需魔石无非也就是20、25枚次级魔石，也即是2枚或者2.5初级魔石。

For Lin En, who is now a first-class wizard apprentice, this amount is no longer a pressure.

As his source energy increased, Lin En also discovered that the speed at which his source energy recovered had nothing to do with the amount of source energy.

The specific influencing factors have yet to be explored, but for now, Lin En has discovered that when the mind and body are kept in relative balance, one's own energy recovers fastest, taking roughly only 5-6 days.

At present, his mental strength is already first-class, but his physical strength is only second-class, and there is a clear gap between the two.

Therefore, the recovery time of one's own energy is extended to about 10 days each time.

'Fortunately, once I have mastered the Black Moon Spirit Body and restored the balance between my mind and body, the time it takes to recover my own energy will be much shorter.

'By then, due to the increase in physical strength, the amount of one's own energy is expected to increase further!'

The spying ended quickly, and Lin En closed his eyes and carefully experienced this golden mist shadow technique.

The key to practicing this flying wizardry is to cover one's own entity with a layer of special golden particles.

In this special particle, one's own body will merge with it and turn into a strange "golden shadow mist"!
This mist is not only extremely light, but also has the natural properties of suspension and immunity to most physical attacks!
This is also the fundamental reason why the Golden Mist Shadow Technique is so fast and has a strong damage reduction ability!

After a while, Lin En opened his eyes and felt a little surprised at the result of this peeping.

'With about three more glimpses, you will be able to successfully enter the Golden Mist Shadow Technique!'

The reason why the speed of getting started is so fast is, on the one hand, because with the improvement of one's own source energy, the effect of peeping has also been improved.

At the same time, Lynn’s frequent use of the Golden Shadow Pendant also brought unexpected benefits!

The greatest difficulty in the Golden Mist Shadow Technique is to guide oneself to merge with the special golden particles.

But with the help of the Golden Shadow Pendant, Lin En had already experienced this process many times.

If there was no Golden Shadow Pendant, and no insights gained from frequent use of the Golden Mist Shadow Technique, the difficulty of learning this flying witchcraft would at least double!
'Perhaps, this golden shadow pendant was developed by the Golden Shadow Wizard to assist wizard apprentices in mastering the Golden Mist Shadow Technique.'

Whether this was actually true or not, Lin En had no way of knowing because the Golden Shadow Wizard had already fallen and the Golden Shadow Society had also disappeared.

But the benefits that the Golden Shadow Pendant brought him were real.

……

……

August 7, early morning.

Lin En arrived at Outpost No. 12 on a landing craft.

Lucas had been waiting at the entrance of the outpost early in the morning, and next to him was a plump young wizard.

"I'm afraid this is Mr. Collins."

Lynn walked over with a smile, greeted Lucas, then looked at the fat white wizard and asked.

"That's right, Collins Dieter." Collins smiled politely and greeted him in the same way.

He was exactly the first-class wizard apprentice that Lucas had mentioned, who possessed many light-absorbing black stones!
"Let's go. It's hot and stuffy outside. Let's go in and talk in detail," Lucas said.

The three of them went to Lucas' room together.

Being located in an outpost, the living conditions in all aspects are naturally far inferior to those in Cuilin City.

Lucas' room is not big, estimated to be only about 30 square meters. Even if the meditation room at the back is included, it is probably less than 40 square meters.

Lucas took them to the meditation room and sat down on the cushions. After a brief introduction and small talk, the anxious Lin En asked first:
"I wonder how many magic stones Sir Collins plans to sell the light-absorbing black stone for?"

Now that he has a huge sum of money, Lin En is full of confidence.

"The price of the light-absorbing black stone depends on how many pieces you plan to buy in the end." Collins smiled.

Lin En was slightly startled and said hesitantly:
"If the number exceeds 20 or 30, I'm afraid I really can't buy that many."

After Lin En said this, it was Collins' turn to be stunned:

"You are joking, sir. I don't have that many light-absorbing black stones. I only have six of them. If you only buy one or two, each one will cost 6 primary magic stones. If you buy all of them, each will cost 150 primary magic stones. If you buy half..."

"I want them all." Lynn said with a smile.

The market price of light-absorbing black stone is about 150 primary magic stones per piece.

Collins's price was already extremely fair, and he had no intention of bargaining any further.

After all, maybe Collins could bring him more light-absorbing black stones in the future!

"135 primary magic stones each. Are you sure you want them all?" Collins couldn't help but confirm.

"I am sure."

Collins smiled, thought for a moment and said:
"Since you are so forthright, I will round off the price of each Light-Absorbing Black Stone to 130 Primary Magic Stones each, for a total of 780 Primary Magic Stones!"

Lynn nodded, and immediately took out enough magic stones and handed them to Collins.

Collins did not rush to take it, but took out the light-absorbing black stone first and said:
"Please inspect the goods first, sir."

Lynn nodded, appreciating his action.

Birds of a feather flock together. The friend introduced by Lucas is indeed as reliable as he is.

After a careful inspection, Lin En confirmed that this was indeed the matte stone, and the transaction was successfully completed.

Collins got up and went to the bathroom. Lynn took out another intermediate magic stone, which was 100 primary magic stones, and handed it to Lucas.

After some refusal, the latter accepted the magic stone under his persuasion.

The purpose of coming to the outpost had been successfully accomplished, and Lin En had no intention of staying any longer. He chatted with Lucas for a while, and when the next land boat to Cuilin City was ready to set off, he said goodbye to the two and left.

"Apprentice Jin Ji is indeed wealthy, and you and I cannot compare to him."

Watching Lu Xingzhou go away, Collins said to Lucas beside him with emotion.

"Indeed..." Lucas was also very emotional, "When I first met him, this boy was just a weak third-class wizard apprentice, but now in the blink of an eye, he has walked to a place that I can hardly reach.

"It is said that next month, this group of Golden Thorn apprentices will go to Silver Ring College to study abroad. It is really enviable."

“It is indeed enviable.” Collins agreed, and then said, “However, your friend was able to reach his current position as an eliminated apprentice.

"The hardships and difficulties involved are probably unimaginable to you and me...

“In the past, before the school established the Golden Thorn Apprenticeship, we would select some apprentices to study abroad at the Silver Ring Academy every year… but every year some apprentices would not come back.

"That place is prosperous, but it is also full of dangers..."

"Is there any place in this world without danger?" Lucas shook his head.

"In short, we have to climb, so of course we have to take the most brilliant path."

Collins did not respond, but was thinking about how to spend the more than 700 magic stones he had unexpectedly earned.

Should I go and exchange some witchcraft, or buy some witch tools, or take some classes...

Lucas also withdrew his gaze and walked with Collins toward the interior of the outpost.

Other people's paths are, after all, just other people's paths. No matter how envious or jealous you are, it is better to walk your own path.
