The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 156 Trap
Laurie pursed her lips tightly, and her resentment towards Jenningsen reached its peak.

Besides that, she also felt some regret.

I regret that I was blinded by greed.

After a long silence, Laurie chose the only possible way to survive - to confess completely.

She put on a smile and said, "Sir, actually I wanted to confess everything the day before yesterday in the jail, but... I was scared by your reaction at that time, so I kept putting it off until now.

"But please believe me, I have nothing to do with this matter.

"I am just... conducting witchcraft experiments according to the inheritance I accidentally obtained."

"Inheritance?" Lin En frowned. "Does that mean all this was caused by your experiment?"

"You can't say that, sir. I was deceived. This was not my original intention." Laurie explained quickly, "My original purpose was just to stimulate the blood power in Princess Tina's body and then transplant it into myself.

"But now it seems that I was deceived."

Although strictly speaking, her experiment was the direct cause of Tina's alienation, it was not her intention.

As Laurie spoke, she reached out to unbutton her collar and pulled out the lavender pendant that was buried deep in her chest.

The pendant is very exquisite, with a crystal clear spherical crystal wrapped in a circle of black cloud-shaped metal engraved with intricate patterns.

The overall look is like black clouds covering the purple moon, mysterious and noble.

Without thinking, Lin En knew that this was the Black Moon relic that he sensed in the Black Moon Perception.

Continuing to remain silent, Lynn stared at the witch in front of him, waiting for her next explanation.

"About two months ago, I accompanied Princess Tina on a hunting trip to the Tripper Forest.

"One night when we were camping, a second-class wizard apprentice suddenly attacked us. After a thrilling battle, I killed him and obtained the pendant in my hand and a copy of the manuscript that I have destroyed."

At this point, Laurie smiled bitterly, "But now it seems that this is just a trap."

“During that time, our group actually encountered many attacks, far more than any previous hunting trips. Since entering the Cuibo Forest, we have been constantly encountering various poisonous insects, snakes, and scorpions, and even some crazy 0-level monsters.

“At the time, I thought that there was some kind of anomaly in the Tripper Forest that caused the monsters to riot, but it was obviously a test by the second-class wizard apprentice or the mastermind behind it.

"Only by testing my strength can he play a good role in which he is defeated by me, killed by me, and then has an 'adventure'!"

Laurie wanted to tell Lynn and the others this information when she was in prison. Tina's appearance at that time made her feel very uneasy, so even if telling her out would make the king hate her and her colleagues angry, Laurie wanted to end the matter once and for all.

But Laurie never expected that Lynn would have such a violent reaction when he first saw Tina.

She was frightened by the reactions of the two wizards of the Horsens School who acted as if they were facing a great enemy. When she heard something about the pollution of the Holy Mithril Ring, she did not dare to speak for a while. By the time she reacted, Lynn and Grace had already gone to the square.

Later, when Laurie heard that this matter might be related to the Holland School, she became even more afraid of being implicated, and dared not speak out, and has been dragging it on until now.

Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "This is all just your speculation, do you have any evidence?"

"Later, I went back to the Cuibo Forest and couldn't find the body of the apprentice. There were no signs of wild beasts destroying the body. I had reason to suspect that the second-class wizard apprentice was just a puppet." "Also, my intuition always makes me feel that there is some kind of power hidden in the capital of Ryan... Maybe that is the remnant of the Holland School that the adults mentioned.

Laurie answered seriously, but Lynn disagreed and shook her head, saying, "These are not evidence."

"Besides, your explanation has too many loopholes. If that second-class wizard apprentice had such ability, why didn't he just kidnap the princess instead of going through so much trouble to trick you into completing this experiment?"

"That's because the experiment of activating the bloodline requires Tina's active cooperation with a clear mind." Laurie explained quickly, "Your Excellency knows that ordinary mortals have a mental fog, so it is easy to destroy their minds, but it is very difficult to completely control them.

"Moreover, the Kingdom of Ryan has a long history, and the royal family has a strict way of dealing with wild wizard apprentices. It is because I have lived in the Kingdom of Ryan for three years that I have the opportunity to have close contact with direct royal family members."

Lynn thought about it, then opened his palm and motioned Laurie to give him the pendant.

There was reluctance in Laurie's eyes, but she finally put the pendant in Lynn's hand.

Looking at the pendant, Lin En took out a blank knowledge crystal and handed it to Laurie: "Burn the notebook that you destroyed into it."

"Yes." Laurie had no right to refuse, and she dared not to be sneaky. She knew that only if she was completely honest and cooperative, she might have a glimmer of hope.

After all, no matter how beautifully or innocently she speaks, it cannot change the fact that she is the one who directly caused Tina's alienation and created this crisis.

Thinking of this, Laurie resented even more the strange second-class apprentice she met in Cuipo Forest.

Perhaps because of the thought that you would not be at peace even if I died, Laurie was very focused, trying to record all the knowledge she remembered into the crystal!
Lin En glanced at the witch and after confirming that she was burning honestly, he held the Purple Moon Cloud Pendant and entered a deep Black Moon sensing state.

In this state, he was like a radar, and the pendant in his hand gradually became clearer in his consciousness.

A moment later, a message came, which startled Lin En.

"The highest authority of the second generation of 'Purple Moon Magic Resistance Injection Magic Tool' has been opened. Welcome, Son of the Black Moon!

"Warning, insufficient blending particles. Please go to the nearest Black Moon Factory, or send it back to the original Black Moon Factory (No. 1679) for replenishment."

"Black Moon Factory No. 1679?!"

Lynn will never forget this string of numbers!
"Gun World, Eastern Continent, Xuying Fjord, Gray Cliff Territory, Black Moon Factory No. 1679..."

This is the information transmitted from the custom-made wizard robe of Priamor Valentine, Yuehua's apprentice at that time!
'This means that the pendant in my hand and the custom-made wizard robe I found earlier are from the same Black Moon Factory!'

Lin En came out of the deep Black Moon sensing state, his heart filled with excitement.

He suddenly became very interested in the existence of that group of suspected remnants of Holland!

Since that group of people had the pendant and seemed to know how to use it, they might also know the actual locations corresponding to the string of place names.

Lynn looked at Laurie with an eager gaze.

It was at this moment that Laurie slowly put down the crystal:

"I have recorded it, Master Lin."
