Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

That afternoon, Lynn was helping to solve a problem in a laboratory when the communication stone plate at his waist vibrated.

He picked up the stone slab and probed it with his spiritual power. A familiar voice came from the other side.

"Lord Lynn, I am Old Corey of the 'Magic Construct'."

"Someone just came to my shop and said they have a complete set of medium-sized world coordinates that no one has ever discovered. I'm not sure if it's true or not, so I thought I'd let you know first."

Old Ke's voice was low, tinged with a cautious excitement.

The medium-sized world coordinates that Lord Lynn had been searching for for so long have now appeared in his own shop. How could this not be exciting?

This should leave a good impression on Lord Lynn, right?

Lynn was overjoyed upon hearing this: "The person is still in the shop?"

Old Keli said, "Yes, it's a third-ring wizard. He looks unfamiliar; he doesn't seem like someone who usually appears in Ghost Market. I told him to wait. You see..."

Lynn put the slate away and said, "I've come over."

He apologized to the lab director, left a few key points, and then left the lab.

A moment later, Lynn was already standing at the entrance of the "Magic Construct" shop in Ghost Market.

Old Ke was standing at the door looking around when he saw Lynn. He quickly came forward and bowed lower than usual, saying, "Sir, you've arrived. He's waiting inside."

Lynn nodded and pushed open the door to enter the shop.

The lighting inside the shop was dimmer than outside, and bright gold candles burned beside the counter, their flames flickering quietly.

Lynn walked to the door of the inner room, pushed open the half-closed door, and saw a third-ring wizard wearing a gray robe sitting at the table.

The man was around fifty years old, with gray hair that was neatly combed. He had an ordinary face and wore thin-rimmed glasses on his nose, the lenses of which reflected the light in the dim light.

Seeing Lynn enter, he put down his teacup, stood up, and gave Lynn a slight bow. His gesture was neither overly solicitous nor perfunctory, maintaining a moderate level of politeness.

"Lord Lynn, I have long admired your name. I am Walker, and I make a living by doing exploration missions in the border areas of the main world."

He spoke in a calm tone, appearing neither humble nor arrogant.

Lynn sat down across the table, and Old Cole brought in a pot of fresh tea, placed it on the table, and then left, closing the door behind him.

Lynn didn't touch the tea, his gaze fixed on the wizard: "Lord Walker, tell me what's going on."

Walker placed the teacup back on the table and sat up straight.

"Three months ago, I was on an exploration mission in the northern border of the main world. I deviated from the planned route and encountered an area with abnormal spatial fluctuations."

"I thought it was just a normal void rift, so I didn't pay much attention to it and took a detour to continue forward."

"But after walking for a while, we found that the fluctuations continued and covered a large area, unlike naturally formed fissures."

He took a recording crystal from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Lynn.

"I scanned it with my detection equipment and found that there was a world barrier behind that fluctuation, and it was quite large."

"Judging from the area covered by the barrier and the energy intensity, it should be a medium-sized world that has not yet been marked by any force."

He then took out a folded piece of parchment from his pocket and unfolded it. It had several lines and markings drawn on it, including dotted arrows and some small notes.

"I went back again later and confirmed the existence of the barrier. I did not try to enter it, nor did I record any information other than the coordinates."

"Because I couldn't take over a medium-sized world by myself, and I didn't want to sell the information to the Academy, I only came here after I heard that you were acquiring world information."

Lynn's mental energy covered the entire room and enveloped Walker.

He could sense the other person's heart rate and breathing rhythm as they spoke, without any obvious fluctuations, and there were no abnormal changes in their pupils. There were no pauses or hesitations in their speech.

He was telling the truth, or at least he believed he was telling the truth.

Lynn nodded and said, "I'll investigate. If it's true, the reward will be substantial, and the promise will be kept. What do you want?"

Walker's face lit up with joy: "I would like to ask you, sir, to help me solve a difficult problem."

Lynn said, "Sure, I'll help within my capabilities."

A smile appeared on Walker's face as he took a new recording crystal from his pocket and placed it on the table: "These are the coordinates, and my observation records from my two close encounters."

After saying that, he stood up and bowed slightly to Lynn again: "Then I won't bother you any longer. Contact me anytime after you confirm that everything is correct. My communication frequency is also engraved in the crystal."

Lynn also stood up: "Okay."

Walker pushed open the side door and left, his footsteps fading into the distance along the corridor and soon drowned out by the noise of the street.

Old Cole peeked in from outside and saw Lynn still standing by the table, clutching the crystal in his hand. He asked softly, "Sir, how is it?"

Lynn didn't answer, put the crystal back into her ring, glanced at him, and said, "I'll go back and check on things first. Contact me if anything comes up."

Old Cole nodded hurriedly in agreement. Lynn pushed open the door and walked out of the shop, through the dimly lit streets of Ghost Market, back to the laboratory.

He returned to the laboratory, closed the door, placed the recording crystal on the table, and probed it with his mental energy.

It contains only a set of coordinates and a brief observation record. The wording of the observation record is objective and plain, like a standard field record document, without any superfluous subjective descriptions.

After looking at it, Lynn put the crystal into the corner of the ring without much hesitation.

Now that we have a goal, things will be much easier.

Take it down, and then...

Advance to the intermediate level of the Holy Mark!

A moment later, he walked out of the laboratory and, after several transfers via teleportation arrays, arrived at the planet closest to his coordinates.

It was a barren asteroid, completely empty except for the teleportation array.

He stood on the stone platform and raised his right hand. A chaotic dragon flew out from the Sacred Mark Domain and landed in front of him, its golden eyes gleaming in the dark skylight.

Lynn flipped onto the dragon's back, and the chaotic dragon spread its wings, the air currents stirring up the sand on the ground, carrying him into the depths of the void.

The direction of that possible world is still far away, but the Chaos Dragon moves very fast, so it shouldn't be long before it arrives.

...

Meanwhile, in the experimental area of ​​the Bone Spire, Marfa's laboratory.

An apprentice in a gray robe stood at the doorway, not entering but only peeking halfway in.

"Mentor, we just received news that Lord Lynn went to Ghost Market, stayed in a shop for less than half an hour, and then left the academy directly through the teleportation hall, heading towards a teleportation planet on the northern border."

Marfa's heart skipped a beat, guessing that Lynn might have obtained the world coordinates.

She shifted her gaze from the crystal bottle in her hand to the apprentice: "Went to Ghost Market? Which shop? Who did you meet?"

The apprentice said, "The magic construct shop is run by Old Corri. I met a third-ring wizard, but he was a stranger. I haven't been able to find out anything about him yet."

Marfa put down the crystal bottle, the bottom of which made a soft sound as it hit the table. "I understand, you may leave."

After the apprentice left, Marfa stood up, changed into an inconspicuous gray robe, and after some disguise, a girl with freckles on her face walked out of the laboratory.

She was prepared to go and find out the situation for herself.
