I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 169 Deep Sea (1)

"Thank you for your help, Professor Harlin," Lynn said respectfully.

A slight smile appeared on Harlin's cold face. "It wasn't too much trouble. You did a great job, and I received some awards from the academy."

This is a mutually beneficial arrangement. Lynn was brought into the academy by him, and he also bears the mark of their faction. When outstanding talents emerge from the faction, Harlin, as the recommender, will naturally be rewarded.

After a pause, Harlin emphasized, "This is just a transaction; the academy has already paid your price."

"Okay, this is the deal." Lynn accepted Harlin's suggestion with a smile.

Harlin frowned slightly upon seeing this, glanced at Lynn, and said nothing. Then, as if by magic, a bag suddenly appeared in his hand, and he casually tossed the bag to Lynn.

"Take this."

Lynn took the bag. The bag was slightly heavy. He shook it gently, and a sound of crystals colliding came from inside.

Lynn was about to open the bag when Harlin stopped her, saying, "Look at it after you leave here. This isn't something I gave you."

If it wasn't Harlem who gave it to me, then who did?

Lynn was puzzled and didn't understand Harlin's move.

"Someone has already paid the price," Harlin said.

Lynn was puzzled, but she nodded and took the bag.

"Did Lynn break the academy's record for the youngest formal wizard at such a fast pace?" Serena, who was standing next to him, suddenly asked.

"No, the fastest breakthrough in the history of the Abyss Wizarding Academy is at eighteen," Harlin said. "Lyon is already an old man in his forties."

"But Lynn was quite old when he first came into contact with wizards, and he didn't have much time to actually learn how to be a wizard," Serena said.

"The speed of this is meaningless," Harlin shook his head.

"If we look at the entire wizarding world, or even go back to more ancient eras, there are quite a few formal wizards younger than Lynn."

"But that's all in the past. Now the standards for formal wizard breakthroughs are stricter and more difficult than before," Harlin said.

Some people break through to become formal wizards in a very short time but waste their lives at that level. Others spend many years breaking through to become wizards just before their time is up, but then break through several realms in one go.

Therefore, the speed of a breakthrough does not mean anything.

He didn't value Lynn because he broke through to become a formal wizard quickly, but because Lynn had talent and forged a new path.

Lynn looked at the bag in her hand, opened it, and found it filled with pink crystals.

It was the same kind of crystal that Toby had taken to the Abyss before. Lynn glanced at it and immediately knew the number—twenty-six.

"You go ahead and get busy, Serena and I are going out for a stroll," Harlin said to Lynn.

After Harlin left, Lynn went to the service hall.

Lynn handed the bag to Toby, who took it and his expression shifted slightly.

"You actually collected so much."

Toby gave Lynn a deep look. "But there probably isn't a chance. There are only seven years left until her next reincarnation. Even with these crystals, it's still not enough."

Toby shook his head; this was the most helpless aspect of the redemption from the abyss.

A minor cycle occurs every six years, and a major cycle occurs every three thousand years.

To collect the crystals needed to revive her, a total of five hundred crystals are required.

But finding all five hundred crystals in the vast abyss without missing a single one is no easy task.

"Uncle Toby, is there a mission to welcome the new students?" Lynn asked.

"Yes." Toby took out the mission book, then flipped through it to the page about welcoming new students.

The task issuer is marked as the Wizarding Council.

This is a quest for all wizarding factions, not just one faction. The reward is 100 merit points, which is neither a lot nor a little.

"If you want to go, you can leave now," Toby said.

"It will take more than half a year to travel to the meeting point, and then there will be a trip out and a return trip. This mission will take at least four years. If you want to set off, you can start now."

"Hmm," Lynn pondered, and more than four years passed between the two meetings.

By the time I return to Bangor, it will probably be close to thirty years.

Lynn was somewhat dazed, thinking about how old he was when he left Bangor Port, and looking at himself now, it seemed that time had not left any marks on him.

Lynn accepted the mission and then received the identity token from Toby.

Afterwards, Lynn rented an airship from a shop in the Demon City.

Traveling to the island by airship, Lynn spent the rest of the journey learning some first- and second-level spells he had purchased in Demon City, and conducting experiments.

Lynn stayed in the makeshift laboratory on the airship, with the humble and studious Lister beside him.

The once young Lister now looks older than Lynn.

Time left no trace on Lynn's face, but it left a deep scar on Lister's face.

"So this drug should ultimately be tested using this method," Lynn said.

Lister opened his eyes wide and watched the scene intently, his head shaking slightly from side to side before finally nodding hard.

"I understand! Thank you, teacher!" Lister said excitedly.

Under Lynn's guidance, his potion-making skills improved rapidly, much faster than when he tried to figure it out on his own.

"You don't need to call me teacher," Lynn waved her hand in refusal.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Lister's face, but he quickly rallied, "Yes, Mr. Lynn!"

The airship spent several months in the sky and was finally about to reach its destination.

Standing on the edge of the suspended pontoon, Lynn looked down at the island below. Looking at the familiar island, Lynn's mindset was completely different at this moment.

He was just a young apprentice entering the wizarding world, full of curiosity and longing for everything.

Now he is a mentor who recruits apprentices, and the change in his identity has a disorienting feel to it.

Some academies and wizarding factions have already arrived here ahead of time.

Many wizards gathered below, looking at the buildings. What they had once found mysterious now appeared to Lynn as nothing more than clumsy and simple houses.

Hearing the sounds below, Lynn remained calm and waved to the crew member operating the airship, "Get off."

An airship bearing the symbol of the Abyss Wizarding Academy descended slowly from the sky.

"These are wizards from the Abyss Wizard Academy. Be careful what you say and don't speak carelessly," a wizard instructed the apprentice behind him.

Listening to the words of their seniors and mentors, the wizard apprentices felt their hearts race, looking at the main entrance of the airship with a mixture of tension and awe.
