The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 110 Pendant and Night (11)

Blackrock City was indeed prosperous, and it was easy to find an inn that could accommodate at least a hundred people.

Not long after leaving the Gilt Inn, Morrison took them to find a new hotel to stay in, which had a similar price and was not far from the teleportation array.

in the room.

Lin En put down his luggage and looked at the slightly cramped guest room in front of him with Good Luck.

The guest room is not very large. It is a single room with a bathroom. The walls are all black with clear stone textures.

Black Rock City has high temperatures during the day and low temperatures at night, and the difference between the two is huge.

It was noon now, the hottest time of the day, but the narrow room in front of him, although there was no temperature-controlling magic array, still maintained a suitable temperature.

This is possible only because of the materials it is made of.

These are special stones scattered throughout the desert where Black Rock City is located.

This black stone is the origin of the name of Black Rock City. It is widely distributed in the desert where Black Rock City is located. It is light in weight but has extremely strong heat insulation capabilities.

Buildings built with it are less likely to heat up during the day and less likely to cool down at night.

After a careful inspection and confirmation that there was nothing strange in the room, Lynn sat on the single sofa by the window and carefully looked at the invisible substance he had just found in his hand.

This substance is extremely concealed. If it hadn't fluctuated briefly at the Gilt Hotel, it would have been difficult for Lynn to detect it on the skin of his neck.

'When did this substance attach itself to my skin? ' Lynn frowned, puzzled.

After his physical body was upgraded to the first level, his perception ability was further enhanced, even though it was difficult to detect when this particle of matter was attached to him.

But logically speaking, he should have felt something the moment the substance attached to his skin.

'My perception was only weakened when I stepped onto the viewing balcony to resist the cold wind, but I maintained full perception ability afterwards.

"Could it be that I was tricked at that time?" Lin En thought to himself.

Black Moon Blood is the energy flowing in the body, and when forming armor it is attached to the membrane.

To the outside world, it looked more like Lynn's skin had become tough rather than being protected by some kind of shield.

Precisely because the defensive layer is essentially reinforced skin, Lin En can choose to control the blood armor to weaken physical perception and thus reduce pain, just like when he faced the cold blade and frost wind.

At the same time, Lin En can also choose to let go of all perceptions... In either case, it will not affect the defensive capabilities of the blood armor, it is just a difference in perception.

This may seem insignificant, but in fact, most common defensive witchcraft cannot do this.

While they enhance physical defense, they usually come with a weakening of perception.

"That is to say, this invisible substance was left behind by the strange wizard who spoke to me... It looks like some kind of positioning method." Lin En stroked the invisible substance and understood.

"Why did you choose me?" Lin En thought to himself as he activated his snake sniffing technique.

In the infrared vision, the invisible substance in front of him was clearly visible, roughly in the shape of a mini disc. At the same time, Lynn also sensed a unique smell.

This smell is beyond the range of human smell, and even snake sniffing is difficult to detect. You need to get very close to smell a faint fragrance.

Even if you are just a few centimeters away, you will not be able to detect the smell.

hum-

At this time, the school badge on Lin En lit up.

Morrison sent a message to organize the Golden Thorn apprentices to go out for an afternoon tour.

Lin En raised his brows slightly, examined the invisible substance in his hand, and finally kept it.

……

“I reiterate once again, second-class apprentices should follow the corresponding first-class apprentices closely when shopping.

"First-class apprentice leading the team, please pay attention to the position of your team. Don't stray too far from the three of us Golden Thorns. Stay within the communication range of the school badge!"

In front of the hotel, Morrison gave the order in a deep voice.

The next transmission will be tomorrow at noon.

Morrison knew that it was not realistic to keep these wizard apprentices locked up in the room for a whole day.

Faced with such a prosperous and beautiful city, it is inevitable that some apprentices will not be able to resist coming out to wander around.

So, instead of letting them wander around alone, it would be better to organize them to visit Black Rock City together, which is at least safer.

After repeated instructions, Morrison led the team forward.

The streets and alleys of Black Rock City are very open, and there are not many high-rise buildings. From some higher places, you can clearly see the vast desert outside the city, which is inlaid with large and small black stones.

The scenery here is completely different from that of Cuiying Forest. Yellow and black are the main tones. The green color that is extremely common in Cuilin City is extremely rare here.

Not only is the scenery unique, but the products here are also very unique, including the "black water" that can burn on the water surface, the giant arthropods... these are all eye-openers for the apprentices.

Lin En couldn't help but buy a few specialties to try. The taste was good and bad. The bad ones were not unpleasant at all, but instead left an interesting memory.

While passing by a market, a unique stall caught the attention of Lynn, Leah and Caroline who were following him.

This is a unique barbecue stall. The stall owner is actually a giant scorpion. At this moment, he is holding up huge black claws and grilling large skewers of meat.

No one knows what kind of creature the meat is from, but it smells delicious and customers come here in an endless stream.

Lin En was a little surprised, and Leah and Caroline beside him exclaimed in a low voice. Leah even subconsciously glanced at Good Luck at Lin En's feet.

"Hey, move aside. Don't stand here if you're not buying anything." A voice suddenly came from behind.

Lin En frowned and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a few "acquaintances".

The visitor was the wizard apprentice from the Root School whom he had met before in the Gilt Inn.

The apprentices ignored them and continued on their way, probably having forgotten about the "country wizards" they had met before.

Lin En watched the backs of the people leaving, feeling the invisible substance in his hands, but suddenly he narrowed his eyes.

But after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

Until, at the next stall, the three of them once again met the group of apprentices from the Root School and were stopped by these apprentices.

"Hey guys, we want to buy the scorpion heart pendant you just bought,"

The leader of the Root School was a young apprentice with yellow hair. He spoke in a relatively calm manner at this moment, but he kept staring at the yellow sapphire pendants in their hands.

"If you want, you can go to the stall and buy it yourself." Lin En protected Leah and the other person behind him, and replied lightly while notifying the nearest Golden Thorn Morrison.

"There are only two strings of pendants left on the stall. There are five of us in total, and with the pendants in your three hands, there are just enough to share." The yellow-haired apprentice said as a matter of course.
The so-called scorpion heart pendant was a precious item that Lin En and his companions accidentally discovered at a popular stall nearby.

Wearing the Scorpion Heart Pendant for a long time can slightly increase physical strength and improve resistance to toxins to a certain extent.

This effect is not special, nor is it powerful. After all, it is very easy for a wizard to increase his physical strength and resistance to toxins.

But if we add another premise, pure enhancement, it means that the purity of the wizard's body will not be affected after enhancement.

There are very few ways to do this, and most of them involve time-consuming and laborious practice.

Items like the Scorpion Heart Pendant, which can gradually strengthen the body and increase resistance to toxins simply by wearing it for a long time, are actually very rare.

The most important thing is that the price of the Scorpion Heart Pendant is not expensive, only 150 primary magic stones.

So after seeing them, Lin En and the other two immediately bought the three pendants.

"Sorry, we don't want to sell it." Lin En responded calmly.
"When we bought it earlier, there were still more than a dozen scorpion heart pendants on the stall, and many people bought the pendants. You should go find them."

The yellow-haired apprentice in the lead smiled and suddenly said, "I recognize you. We met at the Gilt Inn at noon, right?"

"I was wondering why their emblems looked familiar. They were from the wild wizards..."

"Hey, I'm willing to add 5 magic stones to each pendant. How about that?"

"Five intermediate magic stones?" Lin En smiled, the badge on his chest glowing faintly. Morrison and the rest of the Golden Thorn apprentices were about to arrive.

"Intermediate magic stone? Have you ever seen an intermediate magic stone?!" The apprentice who spoke later felt a little embarrassed and raised his voice!

The yellow-haired apprentice's expression also turned cold. His temper was actually not that bad.

But there is a type of people who will feel deeply offended by any disobedience from the weak.

In the eyes of the yellow-haired apprentice, these wizard apprentices who dared to leave in disgrace when facing their mentor were just small characters that they could manipulate at will.

Therefore, after discovering that there were not enough scorpion heart pendants, they prioritized finding Lin En and the other two.

But I never thought that the "weakling" in front of me would be so disrespectful!
The yellow-haired apprentice sneered and stepped forward, threatening gloomily: "The security in Black Rock City is not good..."

"Lynn, what's going on?"

Morrison suddenly appeared. This cautious middle-aged wizard apprentice was followed by a large group of Goldenthorn apprentices.

Those walking in front were all first-class wizard apprentices. At this moment, they followed Morrison to Lin En, and their momentum overwhelmed the Root apprentices.

Looking at the large group of Golden Thorn apprentices in front of him, a trace of panic clearly flashed across the face of the yellow-haired apprentice.

After all, the mentor is not around now, and the five of them alone cannot fight against so many first-class wizard apprentices. The yellow-haired apprentice looked at Lin En and others in front of him and felt a little caught in a dilemma.

Fortunately, when the two sides were confronting each other, the female stall owner who was selling scorpion heart pendants nearby silently called the security wizard.

Swah——

"Don't let me see you again!"

As the security wizard flew over quickly, the yellow-haired apprentice snorted coldly, said something harsh, and was about to leave with his companions.

"Let's go too." Morrison said in a deep voice, but he was not too worried.

Black Rock City is huge, and it is not easy to find them in such a big city.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Lin En nodded and shook his hands lightly.

The invisible substance that had been sucked on the back of the hand has disappeared.

……

……

After this setback, in order to avoid any accidents, Morrison took the Golden Thorn apprentice for a walk for a while, and then decisively returned to the inn.

In principle, the Golden Thorn apprentices would stay in the inn until noon the next day, and then go to the teleportation array together.

——If there are no special circumstances.

Lin En, who had put on a certain disguise, walked slowly to the window and gently pushed it open.

Thanks to his powerful control over his body, his movements were silent, just like the good luck that was following him silently at this moment.

Lin En lived on the second floor of the hotel, which was not very high. He glanced out the window, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he clambered down easily.

While falling, Lynn reached out and grabbed the wall to slow down, while activating the ring that Daphne gave him.

The traceless witchcraft worked very well. There was no sound when he landed, and not even the dust on the ground was raised.

Good Luck had already entered a hidden state, and even his figure disappeared.

Lynn glanced around, put on his hood, and quickly walked to the main road.

It looked like he had just changed his clothes and put on a hood, but with some tricks of body control, Lynn was completely different from before.

Even if a familiar person came in front of him, it would probably be difficult to recognize him.

After walking for a while along the route he remembered, Lynn soon arrived at the Gilt Inn again.

"All we have to do now is wait..."

Lynn came to a secluded corner and waited quietly.

The night quickly deepened, the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually decreased, the temperature in Black Rock City dropped rapidly, and some puddles even formed a thin layer of ice.

Such coldness couldn't hurt Lin En, but as he had learned his lesson and was always fully aware, he still felt a little cold.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the dragon blood in his body, he showed strong adaptability and did not feel any discomfort.

Time passed by minute by minute, but the Gilt Hotel remained quiet, without any abnormality.

"If that strange wizard was targeting me from the beginning, he would most likely attack me tonight..."

Lin En was very patient. In order not to miss any unusual movement, he always blessed himself with the snake sense technique, eagle eye technique, and wind hearing technique.

In order to maintain sufficient magic power, he even luxuriously activated the magic energy slow-release array to quickly restore his magic power.

Finally, around two o'clock in the morning, a loud noise was heard from the Gilt Hotel, and someone could be heard mumbling in fear:
“Hernand, what’s wrong with you?!

"He has fainted, call the instructor!"

But when Lin En heard such a noise, he not only did not feel happy at all, but frowned deeply!
Because, he had been monitoring the area around Gilt Hotel, but he didn't find any suspicious signs!
'Either the strange wizard didn't show up, or he showed up but he didn't notice it!'

Lynn's heart sank, and he immediately went into hiding, quickly moving away from the Gilt Hotel.

This hidden enemy's methods were even more covert and bizarre than he had imagined!
Lynn didn't walk too far. He came out of hiding in a corner not far from Gilt's Hotel, pretended to be a passerby, and came back to the side of Gilt's Hotel.

Of course he knew that such an action was dangerous, but allowing an unknown enemy to hide in the dark was an even more dangerous thing!
He needed to understand who that strange wizard was and why he was targeting him!
