I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 63 Landing on the Island (Part 1)

"How are you feeling right now?" Lynn noticed Lauren's unusual behavior and asked.

"I don't know, but this crystal has a strong attraction for me. I feel like my whole body is calling out to it," Lauren said, her breathing rapid.

"Well, I'll take a good look at this first," Lynn said.

Lauren closed her eyes, suppressing her inner desire.

Lynn turned his head to look at the scales that were slightly raised on Lauren's chest. It seemed that the crystal containing divinity was really attractive to Lauren, a life form with bloodline.

But why didn't I feel that attraction?

Slender fingers casually toyed with the divine crystal, which, illuminated by the candlelight, reflected a deep gold hue in Lynn's dark eyes.

Divinity is a rare and precious resource. Even if I am not qualified to study it now, it doesn't mean I can't in the future.

Although he didn't know much about it, Lynn knew that directly bestowing divinity upon a unit was the crudest way to use it.

He brought his five fingers together, and the silver-gray ring on his right index finger emitted a silvery light as the Swiftness Crystal disappeared from his palm.

For the next period of time, Lynn, who was on the ship, went into the wizard Harlin's room every day to cooperate with Harlin in conducting experiments.

Perhaps it was Harlem Wizard's intentional training, but Lynn could sometimes help him with some unimportant auxiliary steps, such as peeling off certain materials.

Unfortunately, experiments involving this level of participation are not considered routine tasks, which Lynn finds quite regrettable. It seems that only experiments he personally leads can be considered routine tasks.

Since learning that Lynn had become Harlin Wizard's assistant, many wizards on the ship have been bombarded with temptations, invitations, and even threats and inducements.

However, these people's temptations were too low-level, and Lynn said that no cadre could resist such a test.

He neither explicitly rejected anyone nor explicitly accepted any attempt to win him over.

With the powerful wizard Harlem by his side, Lynn doesn't need to worry about anyone else.

This rhythm made Lynn feel quite comfortable.

Lynn, who was cooperating with Harlin's experiments, discovered that Harlin was researching an experiment on a bloodline mutation drug for lizardmen.

This bloodline mutation drug can be taken directly, and after taking it, it will cause the body to mutate, thus transforming into a lizardman.

It's similar to the lizardman potion that caused Lauren's mutation, but Harlin is currently researching an advanced version.

Based on the potion used to create Lauren, more adaptable mutant lizardmen were created.

For example, the aquatic lizard people can breathe underwater and can also lurk at depths of hundreds of meters.

Or perhaps they are gliding lizardmen, with a thin, bat-like wing between their arms and body, allowing them to glide down from great heights.

In addition, there are Stone-skinned Lizardmen with tough skin and good resistance to low-level spells, and Invisible Lizardmen who can perform simple optical invisibility, etc.

These diverse variants of lizardmen, along with their low production cost, gave Lynn the impression that Harlin was not merely creating a cheap weapon of war, but rather attempting to create a diverse and multifaceted race.

However, none of this concerned Lynn, and he did not investigate Harlin's purpose in creating the mutant lizardmen.

He's just an assistant; he should just do his job.

During the experiment, Harlin did not hide anything from Lynn. Lynn, who cooperated with Harlin in the experiment, also inadvertently learned the method of making this lizardman thoroughly.

Harlin was full of praise for Lynn's talent in mutation studies.

"I have to admit there really are geniuses. Your talent in mutation studies has exceeded my expectations. Talented students can thrive anywhere. If you can specialize in a certain area, you'll earn magic stones much more easily than the average person after entering the academy," Harlin said. "Magic stones are needed in many places within the academy. You'll need them to learn advanced courses, purchase experimental materials, train your followers, and obtain opportunities to explore other dimensions. Don't underestimate the importance of magic stones."

"Train up a family?" Lynn asked, puzzled.

“Yes, you need a large retinue to cultivate followers, whether you're developing or conquering other planes,” Harlin said. “Are you prepared to manage a country or even a world all by yourself?”

Lynn understood what Harlin meant.

Wizards are always on the path of learning and research. Even if they have the ability, they don't have that much time to manage their subordinates' territories or resources. That's when they need trustworthy subordinates to help them manage.

For wizards who study the truth, training subordinates is not a difficult task. Sometimes, some incidental experimental results can create power that others dream of.

So bringing Lauren and Polona was a complete accident.

After all, trust is a elusive thing. Lynn never believed in loyalty based on love at first sight; he only believed that time would prove everything.

Through her interactions with Lauren over the past few months, Lynn felt that Lauren was worthy of some trust. A person who could be so kind to his wife couldn't be that bad, no matter how bad he was.

Lynn understood why he saw many noble wizard apprentices accompanied by servants.

It is estimated that these servants are the future core group or confidants of these wizarding apprentices. Many of them are professionals, trained from childhood and possessing extraordinary abilities. Before the wizarding apprentices mature, they may also serve as bodyguards and assassins.

Giving power is not difficult—if you don't consider potential and lifespan. This is Lynn's insight after continuous learning and research.

The difficulty lies in how the being who wields this power remains loyal to the wizard who granted it.

Therefore, wizards developed the Master-Servant Contract and some abilities similar to it.

"The ship is almost here. We'll reach our destination in two days at most," Harlin said, looking out the window.

Lynn nodded, his eyes flickering slightly.

He thought of the deal he had made with Anglie. "I understand."

Over the past few months, Lynn has persisted in daily meditation and has made significant progress in the Hellfire Meditation Method.

The Hellfire Meditation Technique doesn't show progress as directly as the Earth Ring Meditation Technique, but that's not a big problem for Lynn, as he can visually observe the progress through the attribute panel.

In his mind, the vague outline of a verdant mountain range was gradually taking shape.

"Actually, I wasn't prepared to reveal my identity at first," Harlin said suddenly, looking out the window.

Lynn stood there, listening to Harlin's self-talk.

"But your talent and intelligence have shown me even more possibilities, so I've put a price tag on this gift of fate," Harlin murmured, almost to himself. "Sometimes choices are more important than effort. Keep going, and I hope to see you at the Abyss Wizarding Academy."
