The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 127: Unexpected Discovery (11)

79 Whitestone Street.

Lynn stopped at the door of the villa.

Daphne, who was standing next to him, took a closer look at the name on the doorplate and was a little surprised:

"The official wizard you know is Felicity Mossa?"

Lynn nodded, rang the doorbell, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Felicity was a big shot," Daphne said.

Lynn became interested and looked at Daphne, motioning for her to continue.

"The Puppet Master, that's what people used to call Felicity Mossa."

Before Lynn could ask for more details, the door of the villa in front of him was pushed open by No. 006.

He still looked decent, smiling, with his brown hair neatly combed back.

"Good evening, Mr. Lin En." No. 006 recognized Lin En and took the initiative to greet him.

"Good evening. Is Ms. Felicity at home?" Lynn suppressed his curiosity and asked No. 006.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, Master Felicity is away on a long trip and has not been home recently." No. 006 shook his head.
"If you have anything to say, you can leave me a message. I will tell the master as soon as he returns."

Communications in the wizarding world have always been a problem.

Once you leave the range of Silver Ring City, communication will become inconvenient again because the number of ordinary communication wizard arrays will be greatly reduced.

Generally speaking, short messages can only be sent to distant places through special large-scale communication arrays.

Especially since the place Felicity went to this time was very remote, No. 006 couldn't contact him even through a large communication magic array.

Lynn did not expect that Felicity was not at home. He was silent for a moment and shook his head at No. 006:
"It's not a big deal, so there's no need to leave a message."

"Okay, is there anything else I can help you with, Mr. Lin En?"

"No more, we'll take our leave."

"Okay, I wish you a safe journey." No. 006 smiled and slowly closed the door.

Daphne exhaled softly and Lynn gave her a questioning look.

She didn't speak until they left the White Stone Street, then she slowly said:

"I didn't expect that the butcher puppet from that year is still there..."

"Butcher puppet?" Lin En looked puzzled. "Are you talking about No. 006?"

"That's right." Daphne nodded and lowered her voice. "About 10 years ago, on a rainy night, No. 006 killed four first-level wizards, three first-level intermediates, and one first-level advanced!"

Lin En was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that No. 006 had such a glorious past.

A puppet was able to kill four first-level wizards, including a first-level advanced wizard... This is not an easy record.

"Are you sure it's No. 006 from before, and not some other puppet?" Lin En confirmed again. After all, No. 006 didn't look like a threat at all.

“I’m sure that other apprentices may not be able to recognize it, but my uncle once told me some of the characteristics of the butcher doll.

"Legend has it that the Butcher Doll was destroyed in the battle that night, and Felicity doesn't have the ability to create a second one. But now it seems that those rumors are not credible."

“Maybe they just look alike.”

"maybe……"

The two did not continue to dwell on this topic, and Daphne asked:
"We can't access the files. What should we do now?"

Lin En thought for a moment and replied, “We can only respond to changes by remaining unchanged.

"During this time, it's best for us to stay together as much as possible."

Daphne nodded and asked, "Are we still going to the next Exploration Society meeting?"

The gatherings of the Black Moon Academy Exploration Association are not compulsory, but require registration. The number of places for each gathering is fixed and registration is required in advance.

Lin En thought for a long time, and finally said, "Go."

He didn't explain why, but Daphne didn't question it.

After the experience at the White-striped Spider's Nest, she now has a high level of trust in Lynn.

Daphne was very impressed by both her strategy of being in the dark but actually serving as bait and Lynn's strength.

……

……

After closing the door, Lin En changed his shoes, walked to the window and sat down, letting out a long breath.

Lin En's face did not look good. He was not satisfied with the result of this action.

Although Nelson was killed, the real mastermind Black Crow never showed up, and his identity and abilities remain a mystery.

However, his own strength has been exposed a lot.

Now that he and Daphne are in the open, they will be more fully prepared the next time Black Crow comes.

Pressing his slightly swollen temples, Lin En walked towards the meditation room, ready to complete today's meditation practice as usual.

No matter what, you can't stop improving your strength.

However, after entering the meditation room and sitting down, Lin En seemed to have thought of something and took out the black feather that he had stored on his body.

Before he could start meditating, he had to deal with the feather first.

After a moment's hesitation, Lynn placed it in his hand.

Teng!
Orange flames emerged and began to burn Hei Yu.

hum-

A pale white light spontaneously emerged from the black feathers, resisting the burning.

Lynn frowned and raised the temperature of the flame.

Under the stimulation of the flames, the light on Hei Yu became stronger and stronger.

After a moment, with a slight sound, a crack appeared at the root of the black feather.

Just as the black feather was about to be completely destroyed, Lin En suddenly stopped burning.

He brought the black feather closer and there seemed to be some familiar words on the cracked parts.

'Is this... Black Moon text?
'The Black Feather is a Black Moon Relic?'

Lin En was stunned for a moment, then immediately controlled his mental fluctuations and activated the sensing state of the Black Moon Spirit Body.

After a moment, he felt the black feather in front of him.

And just when Lynn felt the black feather, he noticed that it began to disintegrate.

This disintegration is not a secret process, but because this black feather is a disposable magic tool, now that the time has come, it begins to disintegrate on its own!

"No, I just found some clues." Lin En's face darkened, and he immersed all his mind in the black feather, trying to prevent the black feather from disintegrating on its own!
Black Feather and Black Crow have a very close connection.

Lin En understood that if he could keep the black feather, he would be able to detect some information about the black crow!
However, despite Lynn's high authority over the Black Moon Relic, he still couldn't stop Black Feather's disintegration.

This black feather seemed to be made from some large Black Moon relic.

The moment it is made and put into use, its use life begins to count down. It is like a piece of chalk that is constantly being written on, and sooner or later it will completely disintegrate.

Lin En's burning also intensified the consumption of Black Feather, causing it to collapse earlier. After a while, Lin En released his palm.

The original black feathers have completely disappeared, leaving only some light gray powder.

Lynn sighed with some regret and carefully put the powder away for future research.

After doing this, he pushed open the door of the meditation room and quickly walked to the window.

Lin En did not succeed in preventing Black Feather from disappearing completely, but at the last moment, he vaguely sensed the existence of the "mother body" that created Black Feather through Black Feather.

'From the direction, it seems to be in the core area of ​​​​Midtown.'

Lin En thought carefully for a moment and made a rough judgment.

The perception just now was really vague, and he could only be precise to this location.

This has nothing to do with the time of perception. It is mainly because Hei Yu's perception itself is extremely vague. He can only feel this degree at most through Hei Yu.

This is just a one-time Black Moon relic after all.

……

The next day, Lynn found Daphne and briefly informed her of the information.

Of course, Lin En did not reveal any information about the Black Moon Spirit Body, but just made up an excuse to get away with it.

Daphne had no doubts, but Lin En was a little surprised. He gradually began to feel that Daphne's trust in him was much higher than before.

This is a good thing for Lin En. At least he can save some time explaining some things.

"The core area of ​​the central city...can you roughly tell me what range it is in?" Daphne stood up and took out a rough map of the Silver Ring City and spread it on the desk.

Lynn thought carefully for a moment, and finally drew a big circle on the map.

"The scope is so large?"

"Yes, it can only be accurate to this extent." Lin En replied, pointing to the area on the map and continuing, "At least 8% of the residents in this area are members of the academy or related to the academy."

He specifically checked the information and found that the area in the central city was indeed the center of the entire Yinhuan College. The housing prices were extremely high and the rents were also very expensive.

And even if you can afford the rent, there are still identity requirements to live in that area.

“You mean Black Crow might also be an apprentice of Silver Ring?” Daphne understood what Lynn meant and was stunned for a moment.

“Logically speaking, there’s at least an 8% chance of that happening,” Lynn replied.

Daphne was silent.

……

Two days later, it was the day for the Black Moon Society's gathering.

Lynn and Daphne arrived at the gathering place early, trying to find any trace of the Black Crow.

However, they found nothing until the rally began.

Black Crow didn't even come to this rally!

……

Another week passed, and Lynn unexpectedly received a message from Felicity.

Felicity had just returned to Silver Ring City. He heard from No. 006 about Lynn's visit, so he sent a message via the badge.

Lynn was a little surprised by this. After careful consideration, he went to Felicity's house alone.

No. 006 brought Lynn to Felicity's study. The old wizard looked in a good mood and was writing something on the desk.

"Good morning, Ms. Felicity." Lynn greeted politely.

"Now that you're here, sit down and wait for me for a moment." Felicity raised her head and said with a smile.

Nodding, Lynn waited patiently, noticing a strange green plant on Felicity's desk.

Felicity looked up from time to time and observed the plants, as if recording something.

The plant looked like an ordinary grass that could be found everywhere, but it emitted a bright light and, without the help of any external force, it just floated in the air, looking very magical.

Soon, Felicity finished her work and carefully put away the plants. Then she looked at Lynn and asked:

"What do you want from me?"

"This is what happened..." Lynn told Felicity everything.

"I want to check the investigation file of Darcy Steve, the first-class apprentice who died half a year ago..." Felicity nodded slowly, and suddenly looked at Lynn and asked,

"Have you successfully learned knowledge No. 016?"

"Yes, Lady Felicity," Lynn admitted frankly.

"No wonder I can sense some familiar fluctuations in you." Felicity's face suddenly showed interest and continued to ask, "Tell me the specific process."

Lin En nodded, did not refuse, and described his cultivation process with a little concealment.

Even so, Felicity's eyes lit up as she listened: "It seems that the test that day was still a little inaccurate. Among the three apprentices, you should have the best talent."

Lynn just smiled.

"Okay, I won't talk to you any more." Felicity took off a badge from her body and said, "Take it directly to the Public Security Administration Office, and you can view most of the files about apprentices."

After expressing his gratitude, Lynn said goodbye and left.

Felicity pondered the words Lynn had shared earlier, and felt that she had some new inspiration. She quickly took out a piece of white paper and began to write furiously.

'This wizard apprentice is indeed gifted.'

……

"Darcy Steves, the body was found in the alley on the left side of 87 Nantes Street. The cause of death was brain damage, and both eyes were gouged out..."

At the Public Security Administration, Lynn and Daphne have finished reading the file on Darcy's death.

But to be honest, the harvest was much less than they imagined.

There are not many records about the investigation into Darcy's death. All they know is that the way Darcy died was very similar to that of Nelson before.

However, knowing this, the two of them felt a little relieved.

At least, they could infer from Nelson and Darcy that Black Crow was unlikely to use such strange means to kill people directly, but needed to make some preparations in advance.

This also means that for the time being, they don’t have to worry about dying suddenly in Silver Ring City one day.

……

And just like that, more than a month passed.

During this period, Lin En only practiced and attended classes, with basically no entertainment, and his strength improved greatly.

He performed three more mandatory tasks, and Daphne also performed three times. The times of their mandatory tasks happened to be staggered, so when one of them performed a mandatory task, the other would accompany him.

Lin En and his companion also went to two association meetings, but both the mandatory tasks and the meetings went uneventfully.

During these two gatherings, they did not see the Black Crows appear, as if the Black Crows had completely disappeared overnight.

Daphne was very optimistic about this. She believed that after seeing Lin En's strength, Black Crow had chosen to give in and give up.

But Lin En felt that it was not that simple. He tried to go to the place where the black crow was that he had sensed through Black Feather, hoping to find some clues.

However, the area sensed at the time was too large, and such an action was like looking for a needle in a haystack. In the end, Lin En did not gain anything.

In this way, Lynn and Daphne waited safely until the Holy Mithril Circle Meeting began.
