Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

[Intermediate Light Magic - Illusionary Imagery]

Lin Gui had been designing this magic since the New Testament City.

However, due to the lack of a complete study scroll of the relevant magic at the time, he was unable to make progress.

At that time, he experienced the first and darkest moment of his life.

The person he risked so much to help betrayed him without hesitation for the nobleman's reward.

betray.

Mocking.

jail.

On the verge of death.

If it weren't for Youye Shayi, he might have already died in prison.

That incident completely devastated this young man from the civilized world, a man brimming with morals.

After killing the people involved.

He set off towards the Thousand Towers, carrying with him the will to die and the desire to see the holy city of mages one last time.

However, with only mid-level strength, he dared to conquer the Red Earth Desert.

The original Night Gown could not have achieved what it has today.

The inability to move makes Youye Shayi a gamble with one's life.

If he hadn't met them, he would never have reached this holy city and would have died long ago in that terrible desert.

Upon arriving in this magnificent city-state that did not welcome him, he discovered that it possessed the most complete theoretical foundation of magic.

The theoretical foundation that Lin Gui lacked most was made up for in the gray area.

The abundance of magical resources in the Thousand Towers also allowed his magical theories to advance by leaps and bounds.

The intermediate-level magic study scrolls that are treasured by many mages in New Testament City are despised here.

Even in the gray zone, Lin Gui could easily obtain many magic study scrolls.

Through communication with the wandering mages here, and with the improvement of his own basic theoretical knowledge, the Illusionary Landscape Technique gradually approached completion.

However, they ultimately got stuck on the flaws in several mid-level spells.

The intermediate-level magic study scroll he obtained at the time was not the complete version, but a defective product that had been cut up.

This phenomenon is not limited to mid-level magic.

Almost all magic study scrolls that can be purchased with gold coins in the Thousand Towers.

Whether it's a street vendor's stall or the most luxurious magic shop in District One.

The magic study scrolls, magic textbooks, and other books sold were all defective.

The magic that low-level mages can access is all censored.

How would you describe the difference between castration magic and orthodox magic?

Shadow Assassination Technique.

In Eileen's hands, this magic can unleash the power of a high-level mid-tier spell.

Lin Gui himself could only unleash the power of a lower-level high-ranking being.

But power was not Lin Gui's main concern.

His focus was on the deficiencies in magical construction reflected in the power disparity.

The reason why the development of the Illusionary Realm spell is stuck on the last few pieces of the puzzle is because the spells that construct it are flawed.

Lin Gui was able to cast the illusion spell through that incomplete manuscript.

But the flaws in magic make it vulnerable everywhere.

Therefore, he needs to complete the magic completely before taking action.

Therefore, he needs the complete study scrolls of the intermediate spells that were originally used to construct the Illusionary Realm.

The orthodox magic study scrolls are almost entirely monopolized by the magic families of the Thousand Towers.

Very little flows out of it.

Three years ago, it was almost impossible for Lin Gui to have touched upon complete magic.

Now, the identity of the Undying Sun is enough to make those magical families take him seriously.

These thoughts raced through Lin Gui's mind before he withdrew his gaze from the backpack.

He didn't touch the backpack again, but simply put it into his storage space, then got up and left the hotel.

Back at the post office, when I pushed open the back door, I found Elvia sitting behind the counter sorting through the mail.

During the time Lin Gui was away, she had already tidied up everything at the post office.

She looked up at him, put down the letter, and asked in confusion.

"That long?"

Lin Gui didn't say much, but simply recounted what he had brought back from the Gray Zone Inn.

Then he directly stated the current state of the Virtual Realm Technique.

When Elvia heard that the Forest Spirit was planning to complete his second self-created spell, she immediately perked up.

Having witnessed the power of the Night Veil firsthand, Elvia is eagerly anticipating the second self-created magic of the Forest Ghost.

So she immediately began her operation.

Through the Soul Tower Master, she made contact with several magic families who possessed orthodox magic.

The families replied to her faster than she had expected.

A few days later, someone brought boxes of magic study scrolls to the post office and handed them to Lin Gui.

Besides soul magic, the intermediate study scrolls for ten elemental magics are also included.

There are a total of 247 intermediate-level spells.

In reality, Lin Gui only needs four.

The reason he did all this was to cover up his true intentions.

Elvia collected almost every orthodox mid-level spell she could get her hands on, all to confuse the issue.

He disguised himself as a monk who had just gained supreme power and intended to use it to satisfy desires that were once unattainable.

It's highly suspicious for a mage to want all kinds of intermediate orthodox magic.

But a wandering mage gained supreme power.

They wanted to acquire intermediate-level magic that they had never had the chance to access before.

Especially considering that his own strength is only at a high level, this makes perfect sense.

Orthodox magic is almost impossible to purchase, even with money.

But power is different.

Elviana is the speaker with ten votes.

That would be enough for these magical families to exchange the magic they had always held so tightly for the favor of a councilor.

Moreover, what the other party wanted was only mid-level.

Intermediate-level magic is not even worth mentioning in the entire magic system.

It's the worst of the worst.

After obtaining the magic scrolls, Lin Gui flipped through those magic study scrolls that he had previously been unable to access.

His true goal was revealed from this.

[Intermediate Earth Magic - Gold Shard Spell.]

[Intermediate-level Dark Magic - Light Devouring Spell.]

[Intermediate-level Metal Magic - Sharpness Spell.]

He pulled out the three scrolls and set them aside, then continued searching.

I went through each and every box.

I flipped through it again and again.

He was shocked to discover that one was missing.

One of the most crucial spells is missing.

[Intermediate-level Light Magic - Irradiance Spell.]

A kind of magic that can scatter light.

He looked up at Elvia.

"What about astigmatism correction?"

Upon hearing this, Elvia said to Lin Gui.

"I sent that vixen's apprentice to contact the Lux family and have them send over all their mid-level light magic."

"They should be on their way."

"Wait a minute."

Lin Gui nodded, placed the three scrolls on the table, and began to disassemble and reassemble them.

For the next few days, he hardly left the house.

He disassembled the Gold Shard Technique, Light Devouring Technique, and Sharpness Technique one by one.

The core rune structure was extracted and then gradually incorporated into the construction framework of the Illusionary Realm.

With each spell it incorporates, the outline of the Illusionary Realm becomes clearer.

Those places that were once stuck began to loosen under the filling of orthodox magic.

Like putting the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle back in place.

But the most crucial part has yet to be reached.

More and more boxes are coming from the Lux family.

It was filled with all sorts of mid-level light magic scrolls.

Radiant Light.

Focusing light technique.

Refraction.

Glow barrier.

Lin Gui flipped through the books one by one.

He flipped through the pages for a long time, his fingers repeatedly moving between them.

No.

Astigmatism correction is not included.

He closed the last scroll and shut his eyes for a moment.

Then he sent Elvia at the risk of asking if the magic was missing.

The steward of the Lux family gave an answer that stunned both of them.

The Lux family does not possess that magic.

To be precise, it once existed, but it was destroyed.

The Lux family didn't pay much attention to this magic because it was so useless.

It was piled up in the old warehouse along with other useless primary and intermediate spells.

It looks like it's been gnawed by a rat.

The Lux family didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and there was no so-called backup.

Therefore, the lineage has been broken.

No one in the Lux family would be foolish enough to waste their energy learning this magic.

Therefore, it is impossible to rewrite its magical structure.

Lin Gui remained silent for a long time.

He tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, making a dull sound.

"So many spells, and you lost just this one?"

"What a coincidence!"

Elvia recalled what the steward had said, her expression somewhat strange.

She tilted her head and fiddled with the ends of her hair that fell to her shoulder.

"No, more than one was lost."

"At least half of the intermediate and basic magic spells that the Lux family had stored in the cellar were eaten by rats."

Lin Gui's lips twitched.

"This is a legitimate mid-level spell."

"The existence that the wandering mage of the Gray Zone dreamed of reaching his entire life."

"It was just eaten away by rats like that?"

Elvia looked at Lin Gui, crossed her arms, and complained.

"Aside from you and those mid-level wandering noob mages, no normal person would think this thing is that important."

Even if it's orthodox magic that's not passed on to outsiders.

Lin Gui was speechless.

He opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Elvia thought for a moment, then added another sentence.

"However, the Lux family told me that perhaps you could try going to the magic academy."

Every year, magical families would dump some orthodox but worthless magic spells on the academy.

"Maybe there's a copy of the astigmatism correction manual."

"They don't remember it very clearly either."

She looked at Lin Gui with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

The initial anticipation and excitement for Lin Gui's second self-created magic gradually turned strange as he busied himself searching for magic scrolls for him.

She squinted slightly and tilted her head to examine him.

"Are you sure the Illusionary Realm Technique will affect our subsequent actions?"

"The Lux family's absurd treatment of astigmatism has made me start to have doubts."

"Can you really conjure up a spell comparable to the Night Veil from this pile of trash?"

Lin Gui sighed helplessly.

"The magic that creates the Night Veil is also a few mid-level spells."

"Some of them were actually dug out of the garbage dump."

Elvia raised her chin and asked.

"Should I go to the magic academy to find this Astigmatism spell?"

"Some of the letters from Poplar Castle and Greenwood Court were sent to students at the Magic Academy."

"Perfect timing, I can get a tour ticket to the Magic Academy from the Silver Thread Merchant Guild."

Lin Gui shook his head.

"You're far superior to me when it comes to gathering intelligence."

"Your primary task now is to maintain the post office's operation while gathering intelligence on the Mountain-Breaking Dragon."

"We also need to keep a close eye on the movements of the Star Transport Team."

"Although that woman said she would send Levy over."

"But I always remained wary and suspicious of that woman."

"As for the astigmatism correction, I'll go myself."

Carrying the mailman's package and the admission ticket from the Silver Thread Merchant Guild, Lin Gui arrived at the Magic District.

This place is completely different from the foreign trade zone.

The streets are wide and clean, with polished white flagstones paving the ground and rows of silver-leaved trees planted on both sides.

The tree canopy swayed gently in the wind, and the leaves rippled with tiny silvery sparkles.

The air was filled with a rich magical aura, and even breathing could produce a slightly tingling sensation.

Towering magic towers are scattered along both sides of the street, their spires pointing straight to the sky.

Fine runes flowed across the tower, moving slowly as if they were alive.

Elemental towers rose from the ground in the distance, their tops radiating a visible aura of elemental light.

Fire is crimson, water is deep blue, and wind is bluish-white.

It paints the entire sky into a magnificent picture.

Lin Gui walked through the core streets of the Magic District.

The pedestrians around were well-dressed and walked with a leisurely pace.

They were almost all magicians.

People were whispering about the latest findings in magical research.

Someone was browsing through thick magic books at a roadside bookstall.

He walked to the end of the street and stopped in front of a black wrought iron fence.

Inside the fence lies a sprawling estate-style complex.

The main building is a typical domed structure, made of white marble, with an array of golden runes inlaid on the dome.

It gleamed with a soft yet solemn light in the afternoon sun.

Several auxiliary buildings, each with a different style, surround the main building on both sides.

It features Gothic spires as well as classical colonnades.

There are large lawns and neatly trimmed shrubs between the buildings.

Several cobblestone paths meander through the area, leading to different teaching buildings and the library.

A bronze plaque hangs on the fence, with a line of neat cursive characters engraved on it.

Thousand Towers Royal Magic Academy.

Lin Gui stood outside the fence, looking at the magnificent academy complex.

My gaze passed through the exquisite spires and shimmering runic domes, landing on the huge school emblem above the main entrance of the building.

The school emblem features an open magic book in the center, with a six-pointed star floating on its pages.

The light from the six-pointed star scatters in all directions, covering the entire background of the school emblem.

He stared at it for a long time.

At first.

If you do not encounter Sivir again in the gray zone.

I didn't help her get rid of that devil's poisonous kiss.

Perhaps then they wouldn't have had to face the subsequent bloody massacre of the city and the public execution of Spark members.

Perhaps he could use his rudimentary illusion technique to pass the assessment and become a junior student in this academy.

I walk among the lawn and colonnades every day.

Sitting in those brightly lit lecture halls.

Listen to the professors explain the knowledge he had barely learned in the gray area by exchanging and eavesdropping.

There's no need to flee.

No need for killing.

There's no need to search through the wilderness for those familiar faces that have already stiffened.

The blood of someone he knew stained his entire body.
