I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 87 Abyss Wizard Academy (Part Two)

After leaving the palace, Harlin led Lynn to a clearing at the edge of the mountain. Harlin spread his five fingers and pointed them at the clearing in front of him. A ring flashed in Harlin's hand.

Spatial fluctuations arose, and the next moment a huge oval-shaped airship appeared in front of Lynn.

This airship is about a hundred meters long and looks extremely strange. Its surface is painted with many demonic patterns in red and black paint, and the most eye-catching thing is the strange tree growing on the air bladder.

Like a python's branches wrapped around the surface of the air bladder, the dark green, translucent air bladder resembles a giant cystic blister.

Harlin led Lynn onto the airship, and as Lynn approached, he discovered that the tree roots wrapped around the airbag at the top were actually alive!

The branches, thicker than a waist, swayed slightly as if they were alive.

As Lynn approached, the brown bark of the tree branch suddenly split open, revealing a large mouth full of sharp teeth.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a little naughty. Actually, its mind is about the same as a four or five-year-old girl. It loves being touched." Harlin shrugged and patted Lynn on the shoulder, signaling him not to be nervous.

A smile appeared on Lynn's indifferent face as he reached out his right hand and gently stroked the dark, cracked bark of the tree.

"Squeak~" The branch being stroked trembled slightly and made a low squeak like a mouse.

"What a cute little darling," Lynn chuckled.

One of the branches wrapped around the airbag loosened and then slowly swam to Lynn's front, gently wrapping around his arms and chest.

"It's obvious it doesn't dislike you," Harlin said from the side.

"Who could resist such a cutie?" Lynn and Harlin exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

Once aboard the airship, Lynn's goblin followers were placed in a special accommodation cabin, which was spacious enough to accommodate them.

"Have a seat. The airship is very fast; it should take about six months to reach our destination." Harlin gestured for Lynn to sit down and poured him a glass of water.

The airship is fast? And we still have to wait another six months?

Lynn suddenly became curious about just how big the wizarding world he was in really was.

Harlin noticed Lynn's confusion. "The world we wizards live in is known to the outside world as the Continent of Annihilation."

"Gods annihilated?" Thinking of the tragic plight of these gods in the wizarding civilization, this title seemed quite fitting.

"The Divine Annihilation Continent is very large. The island chain where you grew up in the Kingdom of Erdoru is called the Third Island Chain of the Sixth District of the Eastern Outer Ring in the academic terminology of the Divine Annihilation Continent."

"Teacher, does that mean that island we just saw is now part of the Divine Annihilation Continent?"

"No," Harlin said. "That's just a large island in the first district of the eastern outer ring, which is relatively close to the Divine Annihilation Continent. Once you reach the Divine Annihilation Continent, you'll be able to sense the difference between it and the outer ring."

"Our Abyss Wizard Academy is located next to the Tongyuan Great Rift Valley in the eastern part of the Divine Annihilation Continent. Do you know why it's called Tongyuan?"

"have no idea."

"Because it is said that as long as you reach the bottom of the Great Rift Valley, you can reach the Abyss. This place was the bridgehead for the Abyss's invasion of the God Annihilation Continent."

Lynn understood. What started as a bridgehead had now become a demon technology academy for training wizards. It sounded quite interesting.

There is only one reason why two rogue civilizations can shake hands and make peace: their strengths are roughly equal, or rather, destroying the other is not worth the cost to themselves.

"Actually, a large number of demons are kept in the Great Rift Valley. It simulates the environment of the abyss. You should have the opportunity to go inside and see it. However, you cannot hunt in the Great Rift Valley at will. The demons inside are the private property of the academy. You can only hunt them if you have the academy's permission," Harlin said.

"Is this considered a demon protection law?" Lynn asked.

Harlin was taken aback when he first heard this, and a smile appeared on his cold face. "That makes sense, but every year some wizards sneak into the academy to capture some demons as experimental subjects. If they are discovered, they are publicly criticized throughout the academy."

Looking at Harlin's smile, Lynn felt that he might have done such a thing.

These wizards' thinking is indeed beyond the comprehension of normal people. Fortunately, he is relatively normal, Lynn thought with some relief.

"Teacher, I remember that the white-robed wizard had many metal bats inside his body. Could it be that he modified spatial technology inside his body?" Lynn asked.

"Yes and no." Harlin shook his head.

"I don't understand the specifics of how it works. I don't know much about alchemy, but it probably involves modifying an organ, expanding the space within the modified organ, and then keeping these metal bats inside. It's like opening a box inside the body," Harlin said.

"Actually, this kind of modification has great limitations in the later stages, and it will be more difficult to advance to a higher level of wizard. In the later stages, each wizard's path is unique. The early paths may be repeated, but the companions on the later paths will become fewer and fewer." Harlin did not forget to continue promoting his mutation theory, "That's why I say mutation theory is the most promising."

"Alchemy has too many limitations; many paths have already been explored to great heights. Mutation studies the essence of biological variation and evolution. Everything is constantly mutating in the process of evolution. We are constantly discovering new dimensions and new creatures, which means we are constantly discovering new paths. Therefore, the field of mutation studies is full of vitality."

Lynn listened to Harlin's teachings. He realized that he was still in the foundation-laying stage and could learn from the advice of those who had gone before him, since they were experienced. However, he couldn't blindly obey; some things he had to try himself.

The airship began to take off, and Lynn, sitting by the window, looked down as the island below shrank continuously.

The scenery outside the window kept rising higher and higher, and the speed of the airship was faster than expected, with the scenery rushing past the window.

"When you become a full-fledged wizard in the future, you can also apply to become a recruitment mentor and take a recruitment ship to travel around the third island chain of the sixth district of the eastern outer ring," Harlin said.

"Admissions mentors all receive subsidies, and it's also a rare break. Sometimes when you're too stressed, it's good to give yourself a break." Harlin poured himself a glass of water.

"As a recruitment mentor, you do have some minor privileges. For example, when you arrive at a certain port, you can let the ship dock there for a few days. If you get tired of traveling, it's nice to go home and visit your hometown occasionally," Harlin said.

Harlin, who was sitting opposite Lynn, turned his head to look out the window. It was the first time he had seen this feeling of remembrance in Harlin's eyes, but it was fleeting.

"Alright, there's a simple laboratory on the airship. You can find any empty room to stay in. The big room at the end of the corridor is mine; just knock if you need anything."

"You can manage your own time during this period," Harlin waved his hand.

Lynn spent a peaceful period of time on Harlem's airship.

Aside from meditation and spellcasting practice, he spends the rest of his time researching and improving the Iron Earthworm.

Lynn added all the general experience points he had gained during this period to alchemy.

Lynn made rapid progress in his alchemy skills. As his alchemy skills improved, Lynn discovered that alchemy truly lived up to its name, as it was a very convenient way to earn extra money if one mastered the subject.

More importantly, the essence of alchemy is the creation of materials; in layman's terms, alchemy and materials science are very similar in some respects.

Wizards rely heavily on alchemical materials to realize their imagination and creativity.

Lynn didn't want to be controlled by others in this area in the future, so he had to take control of it himself.

The biggest achievement during this period was Lynn's successful improvement of the Iron Earth.

This can be considered Lynn's first alchemical achievement.

It is no longer appropriate to name it Iron Earthworm, so Lynn renamed it Iron Serpent No. 1.

Iron Serpent No. 1 is less than half the diameter of Iron Earthworm.

However, its body length has reached twice its original length.

In terms of flexibility and hardness, it has been tested to be more than ten times that of the iron earthworm. It can move freely in soil containing low-energy concentrations and has a wider range of sensitivity to ground vibrations. In addition, Lynn added certain mutant elements during the manufacturing process.

With Harlin's consent, Lynn transplanted the invisible gene from the Invisible Lizardman into Iron Serpent.

This further enhances its danger and lethality.

According to Harlin's assessment, the iron snake Lynn created was somewhat interesting among the alchemical creatures made during his apprenticeship. Harlin especially praised Lynn's application of mutation theory to alchemical creatures.

"We're almost there. The Abyss Wizard Academy is just ahead. What you see now is the outer courtyard; the inner courtyard is invisible to the naked eye."

Harlin and Lynn stood side by side in front of the windshield of the airship.

Harlin pointed to the continuous cluster of buildings in front of the airship.

Looking ahead, the sprawling cluster of buildings stretched far and wide, from one end of the plain to the other, resembling a giant city perched on the plain.

The city even has mountains and rivers, and buildings of all styles exist.

In fact, Lynn had a feeling over the past few days that they had arrived in the territory of some powerful force.

At night, he noticed several giant, compass-like objects floating in the sky outside his window. These objects were at least a thousand meters in diameter, resembling bronze statues of a sun crown suspended in the heavens, gleaming with a faint purple light under the moonlight.

The airship crossed the city boundary and finally landed slowly in a square in the central area.

Since crossing the ocean and approaching the land four months ago, Lynn has known why Harlin said he would naturally sense it when they reached the Divine Annihilation Continent.

Upon entering the Divine Annihilation Continent, Lynn discovered that the surrounding energy had become gentle and orderly. Gentle and orderly energy is more conducive to wizards or magical creatures perceiving and utilizing the energy in nature, and this environment is more conducive to the development of extraordinary civilizations.

Upon arriving at the Abyss Wizard Academy, Lynn discovered that the surrounding energy had become more orderly, and the energy concentration in the surrounding air was also higher, more than twice that of the outside world. In this rich environment, even conducting experiments would be more stable.
