The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 135 The situation is serious

Zinan Commercial Tower, second floor of Tilo shop.

Sitting in the window seat, Lynn signed his mental imprint on the drafted contract.

While handing the contract to Daphne, Lynn asked:
"that's it?"

"Yeah." Daphne nodded, looking at the contract in her hand with a complicated look in her eyes.

She took a deep breath, looked at Lin En and said with a smile: "From now on, you are half the owner of Tilo's shop."

There is only one month left until the final inheritance deadline at the end of the year. In order to avoid any accidents, Daphne and Lynn discussed carefully and officially chose to inherit the store today.

And on the afternoon of the same day, that is, now, Daphne fulfilled her promise, took out the contract that had been prepared long ago, and officially gave half of the profits of Tilo's shop to Lynn.

In fact, after returning from the Holy Mithril Society, Daphne had already begun to fulfill her promise and took the initiative to share the profits of Tilo's shop with Lynn.

Last month's profit that went to Lin was 2160 primary magic stones.

This amount of money is actually not that big, mainly because most of the profits from Tilo's shop go to rent.

However, for Lynn, this amount of money is not small, and the most important thing is that Lynn does not need to spend any energy or time.

The most important thing is that if nothing unexpected happens, Lin En will receive such a sum of magic stones every month.

"Thank you." Thinking of this, Lin En still said thank you to Daphne.

This amount of magic stones can solve many problems for him. Not only does the magic stones themselves bring direct benefits, but it also provides a reasonable source of income. In the future, it will be more reasonable to take out some spoils of war, such as Black Crow's storage ring.

"The meditation method and magic stone are all ready. The only thing to do next is to purchase a talent seed of appropriate quality." Lin En thought silently.

Although perfect quality talent seeds are in short supply, a good quality talent seed usually only costs 9 to 2 primary magic stones.

If Lynn relied solely on the dividends from Tilo's store and bought the cheapest grade, he would be able to get it in three months at the earliest.

As for purchasing talent seeds of lower quality - for a first-class wizard apprentice with good talent, he would never consider talent seeds of quality below good unless it is absolutely necessary.

Lin En's purpose of purchasing the Seed of Talent was to conceal his tracks, so of course he couldn't lose the big picture for the small.

However, in fact, if Lynn’s savings are taken into account, the three-month time will be shortened to zero.

After all, after killing Black Crow, Lin En also looted about 8000 primary magic stones from him.

Together with the dividends from Tilo's shop that Daphne gave him last month, it was enough to buy a talent seed.

"Once the apprentice's progress is complete, it will be time to start advancing to the first-level wizard..."

While Lin En was silently planning his next arrangements, Daphne suddenly asked:

"Are you free later, Lynn?"

"Probably not. What is it?" Lynn replied, asking bluntly.

"It's nothing important, I just want to invite you to dinner." Daphne whispered, and then quickly added, "Just treat it as a celebration dinner for our victory over the Black Crow.

"Of course, if you don't have time, you can refuse and wait until you are free..."

"Okay." Lynn pondered for a moment and nodded.

He still has time for dinner.

Daphne's face suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"You arrange it."

……

At dusk, the sky gradually darkens.

The 89th floor of Zinan Commercial Tower, the Climbing Restaurant.

Lynn and Daphne sat opposite each other by the window.

It was getting dark outside, and many tall towers had their lights on, but it still looked dim due to the lack of neon lights.

This night scene is not as bright as in the previous life, but it also has its own charm. Those twinkling lights are like lanterns in the hands of night walkers, small but bright.

Daphne looked at Lynn, who was sitting across from her, and felt deeply moved.

It had been a long time since she had had a meal face to face with a friend like this.

It's not that she has no friends, she just doesn't have any real friends.

She was the niece of a formal wizard. Although her status in Silver Ring City was not very noble, she was not an ordinary wizard apprentice, so the friends she made were all at the same level.

But those people changed after her uncle died.

Some of the better ones simply became indifferent, while others coveted her inheritance.

Daphne noticed this and gradually cut off contact with everyone.

Daphne became even more uneasy after she discovered the ugly face of a familiar elder behind her back.

For a long time, she was wary of all new people around her and would flee in panic at the slightest sign of trouble.

It was not until today, until she dealt with Black Crow, until she met Lynn and gave him half of the profits from Tilo's shop, that Daphne finally relaxed a little.

Although there were many thoughts in her mind, the reality was only a moment. Daphne smiled and raised her glass to Lin En, saying:

“May we successfully cross this hurdle.”

Lin En turned his gaze away from the night outside the window and raised his glass:
"Wish us."

The two drank a sip of wine together. Lin En put down his glass and suddenly asked,
“There is one thing that I still haven’t figured out.

"Why did Black Crow target you? What does he want from you?"

"Who knows, maybe it's Tilo's shop, or maybe it's the Black Moon relic on me." Daphne said nonchalantly.
After giving half of the profits from Tilo's shop to Lynn, Daphne suddenly understood a lot of things.

In fact, Black Crow had said more than once that he would let her go as long as she handed over the Black Moon Relics on her body. Nelson had also hinted that he only wanted half of the profits from Tilo's shop.

But she refused, more than once.

However, from the facts, she has actually lost half of the profits of Tilo's store.

For this reason, Daphne actually considered whether to go back on her word and reduce the benefits given to Lynn.

But in the end, Daphne decided to stick with what seemed like a promise made on the spur of the moment at first.

It's not just because Black Crow and the others are fundamentally different from Lynn, but also because Daphne takes those things less seriously.

Daphne found that she actually wanted someone to stand by her side more than half of the profits from Tilo's store.

This is what she longed for most after losing her parents and uncle one after another.

Daphne put down the red wine in her hand, her cheeks flushed, she bit her lip, and whispered: "Lynn..."

"What are you doing, Olett?!"

At this moment, an unbelievable scream came from the corner of the restaurant not far away!

Bang!
Immediately afterwards, explosions were heard accompanied by screams.

Daphne was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and cast a defensive spell on herself. She turned around and looked at Lynn, who had turned into a golden mist!
"Something is wrong. Let's leave here first." Lin En said in a deep voice and led the way out of the restaurant.

The battle in the corner of the restaurant was still going on. The fighters were two wizard apprentices, one male and one female. From the badges on their bodies, it could be seen that both of them were first-class apprentices from the Silver Ring Academy.

At this moment, the female apprentice was holding her abdomen, her face pale, and she was backing away quickly, constantly calling the name of the male apprentice in front of her.

The male apprentice named Olet was clearly in an abnormal condition. Although he still maintained his human appearance, the whites of his eyes had disappeared and his pupils had turned ink-black, filling his eye sockets.

At the same time, some black, spider-web-like lines spread outward from the corners of the eyes, making it look like the skin was cracked into many dark cuts. In some of the darkest places, there was a faint black smoke emanating.

Lynn noticed keenly that after breathing in the black smoke, the female apprentice in front of Olett not only became slower in her movements but also had a confused and dazed look in her eyes.

"There's something in the air, be careful with your breathing!" Lynn reminded Daphne beside him in a deep voice.

The latter nodded quickly and held his breath.

"People in front, move faster and don't force me to do anything!" An urging voice came from the retreating crowd.

The wizards in this world don't have the habit of watching the fun. When encountering something, their first reaction is to escape. This is all experience learned through blood.

But precisely because everyone wanted to escape as quickly as possible, and the corridor of the restaurant was not wide, most people were stuck here at this time.

Lynn looked at the crowded crowd in front of him and frowned.

They were sitting by the window, at the deepest part of the restaurant, and because they were also at the end of the evacuation crowd...

Click!

"what!"

At this moment, a slight sound of breaking was heard, and the female apprentice screamed in pain and shouted:
"help me!
"help me……"

Her voice sounded briefly and then became weak.

Lynn turned around and saw that Olett had pierced the female apprentice's lower abdomen with both hands and was holding it in front of him. There was no emotion in his dark eyes, only a dark light flashing.

'You defeated a first-class wizard apprentice so easily?!'

"Damn it, let's work together to stop him!" a wizard apprentice suddenly said, he shouted angrily and launched an attack on Olet!
Swish!
The orange-yellow rays flew rapidly towards Olet.

Some wizard apprentices also reacted and launched attacks right after!
Olett didn't dodge. He turned his head and no emotion could be seen on his face.

With a puff, Olett pulled his hand away and let the female apprentice fall to the ground.

But the moment she fell to the ground, the female apprentice came back to life, and her pupils also turned black.

At this time, the attacks also arrived in front of them. The two apprentices, a man and a woman, maintained indifferent expressions as if they were cast in the same mold, and greeted the attacks.

Boom!

After the brilliant light flashed, the tables and chairs in the restaurant flew everywhere, the ground was covered with charred marks, and the restaurant's automatic defense magic formation was slightly shaken, but Olett and the female apprentice did not even have their clothes damaged!
Seeing this scene, the crowd was horrified and fled even more desperately.

Lin En's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately shouted:

"Let's go through the window!"

The windows of the towers in the wizarding world are generally encircled by magic circles. Not everyone can pass through them, and they are difficult to break with brute force. At the same time, once they are broken, you will have to pay for it afterwards.

So Lynn didn't consider going through the window at first.

But now, through the window is clearly the better option.

Otherwise, he would have to face dozens or even hundreds of wizard apprentices crowded in front of him.

boom!
The white electric sword shot at the nearest window with all its might. The force was so powerful that invisible ripples shook on the window, making it look shaky, but it never broke.

"Damn it, the attack just now activated the restaurant's defensive magic array, and the strength of the windows has increased significantly!" Lin En cursed inwardly, and immediately took out the unrecognizable Mist Crow sculpture from the storage ring and activated it.

Although the Mist Crow Sculpture cannot increase the attack power, it can improve the defense capability, at least it can block Olet's attack.

Black mist quietly emerged on Lin En's body, but was soon covered by the golden mist shadow technique and turned into black and gold, which was completely different from the original Mist Crow Defense.

It was at this time that Lin En suddenly felt an inexplicable sensation coming from Daphne.

'The induction of the Black Moon Relic?

"No, it's more like a connection to something related to the Mist Raven sculpture... Hmm, could it be the Black Moon artifact that Priam used before?"

Lin En didn't think about it further. This was obviously not the time to think about these things.

He glanced at Olett, who was already approaching the crowd with his female apprentice.

boom!
At this moment, an attack landed on the window.

Lin En turned around and saw that some wizards with quick reactions also chose to retreat, and he was immediately delighted!
A moment later, before Orlett could get close, the tower window was successfully smashed by everyone's combined efforts.

They managed to escape.

Thankfully, the two oddball wizard apprentices chose to chase after more wizards escaping down the corridor.

Therefore, the group of wizards who escaped through the window have successfully escaped from danger.

Many wizards were still in shock and murmured:
"What the hell is that?"

"Who would have known? I clearly saw that the female apprentice was already dead..."

"It's none of our business anyway. The law enforcement team is here. I'm leaving now, so I don't have to pay for the restaurant windows later!"

Lynn turned his head and noticed that there were law enforcement wizards rushing over here not far away.

"Let's go too."

"Yeah." Daphne nodded. She felt a little relieved after escaping danger, but more regretful.

“What a shame for our dinner.”

“It doesn’t matter. As long as you’re still alive, you can still have dinner.” Lin En said casually.

He wanted to ask Daphne about the Black Moon Relic, but felt that now was not the right time.

After all, Daphne had just officially given him half of the profits from Tilo's shop. If she mentioned the Black Moon Relic again, it would easily destroy the trust that had been built with great difficulty.

Let's wait until the right time later.

"That's right..." Daphne answered insincerely.

It is true that we can still have dinner again, but it is difficult to have that kind of courage and atmosphere again.

The two then had dinner at another restaurant and went home.

Both Lynn and Daphne quickly put this sudden incident behind them. It was just a trivial little disturbance and they didn't even have the time to delve into the reasons behind it.

Until the third day.

The Silver Ring Academy suddenly issued an arrest warrant for all Silver Ring apprentices who had previously participated in the Holy Mi Ring Society.

The reason is that the Silver Ring Academy believes that the reason for Olet's madness is closely related to the Holy Mi Ring Society.

Olett, who suddenly went crazy in the restaurant, was actually also an apprentice of the Silver Ring and had participated in the Holy Mithril Society.

At the same time, during these two days, more than five Silver Ring apprentices showed the same symptoms as Olett, and even a first-level wizard was unfortunately seriously injured while fighting with the "alienated" apprentice...
