The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 188 Yara and the Three-Piece Set (4.2k)

“You’ve come at just the right time, Lynn.”

In the reception room, Felicity, with a joyful expression, paused and said,

"I don't know if it's because I insisted on going to explore another world without taking her with me, but Yara has locked herself in her room and hasn't spoken to me for half a day."

“I asked 006 to go over, but she ignored me… Could you please go and ask her what’s wrong?”

Lynn, who had just sat down, was taken aback. While she found it slightly amusing, she also looked embarrassed.

He had just been led to the reception room by 006 and sat down. He had finally waited for Felicity to arrive and thought he could start discussing the serious matter of exploring the other world, but unexpectedly, he was met with the old wizard's request for help.

“Your Excellency Felicity, since Yara is unwilling to see you, I’m afraid I won’t get any information from her.”

“It’s alright, please give it a try. Yara knows very few people, and you are at least one of them… If all else fails, please help me persuade her to have dinner.”

Felicity quickly added, probably because she was really anxious.

Lynn's brow relaxed, and she agreed.

It was just a minor matter, and he was also willing to cultivate a good relationship with the puppet master in front of him.

Felicity felt relieved when she saw him nod, and gradually realized what was going on. She added, "When I came back last time, I found another World Blessing in the laboratory. I will give it to you later as well... Anyway, it's useless for me to keep it."

In the wizarding world, wizards follow the principle of equivalent exchange.

Even if Lynn and Felicity were just acquaintances, they wouldn't let her help for nothing; they would have to pay her an equal price.

“That’s too valuable, Lady Felicity.” Lynn shook his head. “I’m not sure I can be of any help.”

Felicity was about to say something polite when Lynn added, "If you insist, then why don't you sell me the World's Blessing at a discount? I do need some more World's Blessings."

After saying that, Lynn followed 006's directions and headed toward Yara's room.

Yara's room is located on the second floor of the villa and is the largest master bedroom. Lynn passed by here when he came here to assist Felicity in her research on void electric current.

Lynn remembered that the door here was dark brown and looked like it hadn't been opened in a long time, but now the dark brown door has been painted white and there is a childish flower doodle on it.

'Felicity, she really is a doting father...'

A gentle knock came at the door, and the girl's stubborn voice immediately came through: "Let me be alone for a while, I don't want to go out!"

“Yara,” Lynn said softly.

There was a moment of silence in the room, then footsteps slowly approached. The door was gently pulled open a crack, and Yara peeked out, her face filled with surprise.

"Brother Lynn, what are you doing here?" the girl pouted, displeased. "Did he ask you to come?"

Lynn didn't really have much experience in coaxing children, but she knew she couldn't answer truthfully at this moment, so she said:

"I happened to be visiting Lady Felicity on some business, and I thought I'd drop by to see you."

Yara looked at him carefully and said, "...He's the one who asked you to come, I know."

When Yara said this, it didn't sound like a stubborn assumption, but rather like a conclusion reached after careful consideration... She seemed to know that Lynn wouldn't come to see her on purpose, as he had said.

Lynn was somewhat surprised. He looked at the girl in front of him, who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded truthfully: "That's right. You're really smart, Yara."

Yara wrinkled her nose: "I should be older than you, don't treat me like a child."

“Being born earlier than me doesn’t mean being older than me,” Lynn chuckled, not bothering to argue with a child.

Yara glanced at Lynn and said calmly, "I was conscious for half the time I was trapped in the ice block, but I couldn't control my body or see... but I could hear you, and I remember your voice, Lynn."

Lynn didn't know exactly how long Yara had been trapped in the crystal, but he knew without a doubt that it was a cruel form of torture.

This left Lynn speechless for a moment before she finally said, "So you usually..."

"You think it's a disguise?" Yara pouted. "That's still me... I just didn't want him to know that I was conscious inside."

The girl reached in and took the dinner from the doorway, saying one last thing before closing the door.
"If you can, could you ask him why he insists on exploring other worlds? We don't lack magic stones... Besides, I cultivate very quickly; I'm a super genius. I've already advanced to a third-level wizard apprentice in just a few days... I really don't know what he's thinking..."

……

"How is it, Lynn?"

Upon seeing Lynn return, Felicity quickly stood up and asked anxiously and expectantly.

Lynn was silent for a while, then said, "She took dinner inside."

Felicity's face lit up with joy, and she instinctively wanted to extend her mental energy to check if Yara had eaten dinner.

But Feliciti stopped abruptly the next second.

Yara really likes having her own private space where she can be undisturbed and not be spied on, so now unless Yara is in danger, Felicity cannot freely spy on Yara's room and its surroundings.

Although Yara cannot detect the spiritual power of a formal wizard, Felicity will not break this agreement with Yara.

"Besides food... what else?"

Lynn shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "However, Yara asked me to ask you why you insist on undertaking the mission to explore another world..."

Felicity skipped over the question, sighed, and muttered, "So she's blaming me for not telling her from the beginning..."

Turning her head, Felicity gestured for Lynn to sit down.

"So, you've already settled the affairs of your school and intend to participate in the world exploration mission?"

“Exactly,” Lynn replied, while secretly borrowing Sia’s Mind-Reading talent.

The little elf, who had just woken up, yawned and then lay down to sleep again, feeling drowsy.

Through his perception, Felicity conveyed a reassuring kindness. After carefully confirming it, Lynn quickly canceled the Green Shadow Mark, gently patted the Sia in his pocket, and silently apologized in his heart.

The spirit has been using the Mind Observation talent far too often recently, and has reached its limit. It will need at least half a month to recover, otherwise it may suffer permanent damage.

Felicity nodded happily when Lynn confirmed: "This mission requires the taker to form a team of at least three people. I have found a wizard, and with you, we will be complete."

"Does Lord Lynn have no prior experience in world exploration?"

"Correct."

"Then you may need to prepare the 'three-piece set' for exploring the world, namely the beacon compass, the world synchronizer, and the adaptive exploration robe."

"I would like to hear more details," Lynn said humbly, seeking knowledge.

The Horsens School was originally just a second-order elementary school, without even its own world, so how could it teach knowledge about world exploration?

Meanwhile, since advancing to the first tier, Lynn has been constantly busy with missions and hasn't had time to learn anything beyond cultivation, so his knowledge of world exploration is still completely blank. To put it bluntly, Lynn currently only possesses the level of a mid-tier first-tier wizard, but his knowledge base is far inferior to that of a first-tier wizard.

'Once I've settled down the matters of world exploration, I must set aside some time to immerse myself in the Silver Ring Book Tower and make up for my lack of knowledge,' Lynn thought to himself.

The extraordinary knowledge in the wizarding world is generally difficult to remember; the higher the level, the greater the difficulty in memorizing it.

However, for Lynn, he could achieve photographic memory by briefly entering a state of insight... He had already verified this before, and it worked very well.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as there is sufficient mixed source energy, Lynn could memorize all the knowledge below the second level in the entire Silver Ring Book Tower within six months.

Of course, Lynn didn't need to do that. If he had so much mixed source energy, it would probably be enough to advance to the second tier for cultivation.

Although her mind was filled with thoughts, reality passed in an instant. Felicity cleared her throat and began to tell Lynn about the three essentials of exploring this world.

"First of all, this beacon compass, as its name suggests, is a tool used by wizards to guide their way when exploring the world."

"No matter where you are exploring, the importance of orientation is self-evident."

"However, unlike ordinary compasses which indicate ordinary geographical locations, beacon compasses indicate more accurate astral coordinates... It is said that there was once a high-ranking wizard who was lost in another world, and with the help of a beacon compass, he crossed the astral plane and finally returned to Gunn."

"Crossing the astral plane in physical form..." Lynn felt both awe and longing.

“That’s right, that would probably require at least a level 5 wizard to do.” Felicity clicked her tongue and continued.
"As for the second World Synchronizer, it is the most important of the three pieces."

"It has two functions, each of which is even more important than the beacon compass."

"Its first function is to convert otherworldly source energy into magic."

Without Felicity needing to say more, Lynn knew the importance of this role.

Magic is the source of a wizard's power. Although for a formal wizard, magic does not necessarily need to come from the outside world, it can also be generated by oneself.

However, the two methods have vastly different efficiencies in restoring magic.

It would take at least a week or even half a month for someone to fully recover their depleted magic power on their own.

Under normal circumstances with a sufficient supply of mana, a first-tier wizard will not take more than ten minutes to fully recover their mana.

Getting back to the main point, while you can replenish your magic power by carrying magic stones when exploring another world, it's not as convenient as using a World Synchronizer.

"As for the second function, it is to conceal the aura of another world emanating from the wizard."

"In this way, the will of the other world will be unable to detect that it has been invaded."

"However, the World Synchronizer can only conceal one's presence. When encountering specific beings from another world, prolonged contact will still detect them and lead to targeting by the world's will."

Lynn thought for a moment and understood what Felicity meant.

If we compare the world to the human body, then the second effect of this world synchronizer is somewhat like the disguise of a virus.

It can deceive the world's will, preventing it from detecting the invasion immediately and avoiding the wizard being targeted by the world's will from the outset.

By the time the world's will truly realizes the problem, it is often already too late.

"However, don't worry, the World Synchronizer has little impact on the generation of World Blessing. Our mission this time is destined to involve dealing with native beings. When the world's will discovers our existence, World Blessing will definitely occur."

Felicity seemed to have thought of something and added.

Lynn nodded, but he wasn't thinking about these things. He suddenly thought of the little elf, Sia... Strictly speaking, this otherworldly being should have been detected by the will of the Gunn world the moment she appeared.

'Could it be because Sia was born in the world of Gunn, and therefore doesn't possess the aura of beings from another world?'

The world's will is particularly sensitive to non-native creatures, but indifferent to inanimate matter.

The azure crystal that carries Sisya has been able to remain in the world of Gunn for so many years as a blessing to the world, so it must be a non-living being.

However, whether it is as Lynn thinks is still unknown...

Lynn suppressed his doubts for the time being and continued to listen to Felicity's account of the final adaptive exploration robe.

"Compared to the first two items, the last one, the Adaptive Exploration Robe, is actually dispensable."

"In fact, before the World Synchronizer integrated the two effects, the Adaptive Exploration Robe was not yet qualified to be included in the three-piece World Exploration set."

"The effect of the Adaptive Exploration Robe is just as its name suggests: to provide wizards with a suitable environment, enabling us to survive in harsh alien worlds."

Lynn realized that this was a superhuman version of a spacesuit.

"However, adaptive exploration robes are usually only very useful and essential when exploring another world for the first time."

"And the world we are now exploring, called 'Moss,' has already been explored once."

"Its main environment has been explored and is generally suitable for wizards to live in, so there is no need to prepare adaptive exploration robes for this exploration."

"Of course, it's okay to have some on hand just in case."

"If you have the energy, you can also learn some simple otherworldly survival magic to create a suitable living environment for yourself... Personally, I think this is more reliable than exploring the wizard's robe."

"I understand," Lynn replied, planning to go to the Silver Ring Book Tower later to learn more about the relevant information on world exploration.

After thinking for a moment, Lynn asked earnestly again:

"Your Excellency Felicity, in addition to these three pieces, I would also like to learn more about the world of moss that we are about to explore."

“Don’t be nervous, Lynn.” Felicity waved her hand with a smile, assuming that the wizard in front of her was nervous.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Don't blame me for being blunt, but this mission doesn't actually require your help. I'm asking you more to have a reliable person to make up the number of people for the mission."

"At that time, my puppet will complete all the tasks. We only need to rest in the camp for a while or go out to experience the scenery of the other world to complete the tasks and return to Gunn easily."

"Don't worry, if the doll discovers any blessings in the world, it will bring them back to you."

Lynn remained silent for a moment, offering no explanation, but continued:

"Then this mossy world..."

"I will send you a detailed mission document."

Felicity looked up and thought for a moment, then said slowly,
"According to the mission data, it was a tranquil, ancient, fragmented world... The main landscape consisted of vast canyons and valleys covered by countless towering ancient trees."

“Every inch of the damp land there was covered with all kinds of moss and epiphytes, even the steep cliffs were covered with them…”

Without asking Felicity what the Fragmented World was, Lynn nodded, officially signed the exploration contract, and then said goodbye and left.
