I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 100 Flame (Part Two)

"If we consider it materialistic, then it isn't. But if we consider it idealistic, then I say it is, and that's it."

After a moment of silence, Lynn gave an answer.

Since I am already a wizard, why do I need to follow any rules? The rules of all things in this world are the outward manifestation of truth, and the essence of a wizard is to study the rules, utilize the rules, master the rules, and change the rules.

"That's what the legendary wizard said back then," Toby said.

"He believed his daughter was still alive, so he extracted a fragment of the past from time. But even legendary wizards have to pay a great price to interfere with other people's time, so his true self is still asleep."

"Uncle Toby, that doesn't sound like something an ordinary administrator would say," Lynn asked probingly before leaving.

"I'm just an ordinary administrator, don't overthink it." Toby grinned, his five jet-black demon claws coming together, golden-red sparks emerging from his fingertips, the dazzling sparks eventually condensing into a small, exquisite spiral ring.

"The key to the Abyss. If you wish to go to the Abyss, you can use it to access the Abyss's trading market, which is also part of our academy's territory—a rare peaceful place in the chaotic Abyss," Toby said.

Lynn took the ring from Toby.

Back at her lodgings, Lynn glanced at the empty house next door. In the next cycle of reincarnation, they might be strangers again.

Back in his room, Lynn took out all the magic stones from his storage ring.

After sorting through the materials, Lynn found that he currently had a total of 372 magic stones, which was the surplus after deducting the expenses for raising goblins and daily meditation.

Lynn was also preparing to think about what to do next.

On one hand, he was cultivating his family, and on the other hand, he was enhancing his own spiritual power to prepare materials for building the Wizard's Tower.

Although we already have the core materials to build the element pool, we still need to purchase other materials.

This is why it's necessary to purchase core materials.

Just then, the communication beeped, and Lynn connected with Jim.

"Brother Lynn, are you going to the Abyss?" Jim asked.

"I'm not ready yet." Lynn wasn't in a hurry to go to the Abyss. The Abyss wasn't within the Demon City's territory; there might be danger there.

Moreover, even a legendary wizard's daughter like Ido suffered an accident, which shows that the Abyss is indeed dangerous.

"There's a trade fair in the Abyss recently. This trade fair only happens once every ten years. If you miss it this time, you'll have to wait another ten years. It's said that many academy apprentices will go there," Jim said.

"You might not know this since you're new here, but there's a market on the first level of the Abyss. It sells many things that are unique to the Abyss. Demons often come here to trade with wizards, bringing local specialties," Jim continued.

"However, ordinary apprentices like us can't go there; it would be very troublesome for us to go."

"Oh, by the way, I heard you can buy materials for crafting the Abyss Forge there. These materials are hard to find elsewhere, but they don't seem to be uncommon in the Abyss," Jim said.

Abyss Forge?

Lynn pondered, if it were postponed to the next time, wouldn't it be ten years later?

"We'll see," Lynn said.

"If you're going, can I come with you?" Jim asked.

"Each apprentice at the Abyss Wizard Academy has one spot to bring one more follower. I won't let you bring one for free; I can offer some magic stones as payment. If you don't need magic stones, I can offer other materials instead."

"You should know the other apprentices, right?" Lynn found it strange; Jim had been here for so long, he should know many apprentices.

Why not let another friend who has known him longer take him down?

"I had a falling out with a friend, and some of the channels I used to use no longer work. If it's inconvenient for you, just let it go," Jim said.

"Because I took a risk and acquired something, a former friend wanted to trade with me, but I refused, so we fell out."

What could cause two apprentices to fall out?

After a moment's thought, Lynn had a general idea in mind.

"Just as you guessed, it's a material for building a wizard's tower," Jim sighed, speaking from the other end of the communication conch.

"I went to great lengths to get this material. The guy wanted it. I wouldn't necessarily want to keep it if he offered a reasonable price, but the price he offered was less than a third of the market price."

"If you're willing, I can trade this material with you. It's a bit too hot for me to handle," Jim said after hesitating for a long time on the other end of the communication conch.

"What materials?" Lynn asked.

"Heart of Clay," Jim said.

As soon as Jim mentioned the name, Lynn knew what it was: an add-on material for crafting the body of a wizard tower. If this material was added to the tower, it would greatly increase the wizard tower's resistance to earth spells, as well as its resistance to disintegrating spells like Disintegrate and Fragile Ray.

"How many magic stones?" Lynn asked.

"Three thousand magic stones," Jim said.

Lynn frowned. Three thousand magic stones was too expensive, roughly equivalent to seven or eight years of his income. The main problem was that he simply didn't have that much money right now. Of course, Jim hadn't deliberately inflated the price; it was the standard market price. This was the fundamental reason why building the Wizard's Tower was so difficult.

"If you don't have magic stones, you can use recipes or other items to offset the cost," Jim said.

"I'll think about it. I'll let you know if I decide to go," Lynn said.

"By the way, what is the identity of that apprentice you had a conflict with?" Lynn asked.

"That apprentice has some connections; one of his juniors has become a full-fledged wizard, though he's only been a wizard for less than thirty years. If he really had a powerful background, he wouldn't even bother with a nobody like me. Besides, I'm only useful for building level one wizard towers; my usefulness is minimal for wizard towers above level one, so I can only be used as an auxiliary material."

"I understand. I'll let you know if I want to go," Lynn said. "By the way, how long does it take at the Abyss Market?"

"Lynn asked."

"It's next month, there's plenty of time, just over twenty days left."

"Okay." Jim hurriedly hung up the communication cable on the other end.

Disconnect the communication cable.

Lynn frowned and thought for a moment. If he wanted to buy materials, the money he had on him might not be enough.

And maybe there will be something you want to buy in the market in the abyss later on.

How could there be anything she didn't want? Every time she passed by a shop and saw the things inside, Lynn felt a little tempted, but she was just too poor to afford them.

Lynn originally thought he could make a lot of money with his Level 2 alchemy, but now he realizes he was underestimating the problem.

There are many wizard apprentices in the Demon City, and many shops here have the backing of formal wizards.

The amount of magic stones flowing through this enormous city every day is astronomical.

The alchemical items made with Level 2 alchemy skills only allow Lynn to earn a little living expenses.

Fortunately, Mutation has been upgraded to level 3. However, Mutation is different from Alchemy. It's not that Mutation can't make money, but the efficiency of converting Mutation knowledge into wealth is not that fast.

His assistance in obtaining elemental marrow through the Owl Night experiment is the best example of this.

With knowledge, you can earn wealth anywhere; the only difference is the channels and efficiency.

If you really want to make money quickly, you have to study pharmacy.

Other disciplines produce things that last a long time, but pharmacy products are basically disposable, so the demand is naturally very large, and where there is demand, there is a market.

First, save up some magic stones and then go to the market to check the situation. If you don't have enough money this time, save it up and buy it next time.

The main purpose is to go and see what the situation is like, and whether there are any opportunities to make money.

Since I've heard that many people are making Abyss Forges, this material must not be unique. If it's not available this time, there will always be another time, it's just a matter of ten years.

For Lynn, ten years sounds like a long time.

Since I've only been exposed to wizards for two and a half years, ten years is four two-and-a-half-year periods.

Ten years have passed; my younger sister should have grown up by now, and my younger brother is probably married by now.

The very next day, there was a knock on Lynn's door.

Lynn went outside, and there stood a male apprentice with a somewhat aged face.

His face was somewhat unfamiliar.

"Is that Wizard Lynn?"

The other person was very polite.

"Um, what can I do for you?" Seeing the other party's politeness, Lynn also acted politely.

The other party was quite polite. Among apprentices, some apprentices would use the title of wizard to show respect for other apprentices. Of course, this title was usually used when no formal wizard was present, just like how the deputy director didn't like others adding the word "deputy" before his title.

"Hello, my name is Gadot. I've heard that the alchemical golems made by the wizard Lynn are very popular. I bought two before and they are indeed quite useful." The other party tried to build rapport.

"I also have a channel to sell alchemical golems to Wizard Lynn, and I won't charge you any intermediary fees. If Wizard Lynn is willing, he can sell them through me."

Lynn's expression remained unchanged. "So what do you want? To sell my work for free?"

He doesn't believe there's such a thing as a free lunch.

"Haha, I hope Wizard Lynn can let me know if he has any news about Jim," the other person said.

"When Jim, another friend, and I went on an adventure, we found two clay hearts. According to the rules, the highest bidder would win, but Jim just took both clay hearts and seriously injured my other friend."

The person in front of him had a different story from Jim's, but it had nothing to do with Lynn, so he couldn't be bothered to get involved.

"I can put my alchemical creations on your platform for sale, but we've never worked together before. Let me see how they perform first," Lynn said.

The other party smiled and said, "Of course, any cooperation should be like this. In fact, I have been in the City of Demons for fifty years and I know many apprentices. If you, Wizard Lynn, can make a name for yourself and open a shop, I can also use my connections to have my friends help you promote it."

"Thank you very much then." Lynn smiled and extended his right hand.

The other person also extended their right hand, and the two large hands clasped together.

His conflict with Jim was their business; Lynn just needed to expand his trading channels.

After Gato walked away, Lynn took out the communication shell, wanting to contact Jim, since he had worked with Jim for a year and had known him for even longer.

Of course, the main reason was that Lynn usually kept two Iron Serpent No. 1s with Jim for easy transactions.

To put it simply, it's like having inventory piled up at Jim's place.

But this time, when the communication cable was dialed, no one answered for a long time.

Lynn's face gradually darkened.
