The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 111 Arrival (11)

Not long after Lin En returned, the first-level wizard of the Root School flew out in a rage.

Several magical lights flashed quickly in his hands and spread out in all directions.

Lynn understood that this first-level wizard was detecting the murderer.

He stood on the roadside with several affected passers-by, appearing harmless, while observing the results of the first-level wizard's investigation.

The first-level wizard just glanced at them and ignored them. Instead, he looked around with a gloomy and ugly expression.

"Even a first-level wizard couldn't find the murderer? Is his concealment ability so strong?"

Lin En's heart sank, but he quickly thought that in this situation, it was more likely that the murderer had some means of killing the enemy remotely and was not nearby!

"If it is some kind of remote means, then it will most likely require some kind of medium, and that medium is likely to be... the tiny invisible substance from before?"

Thinking of this, Lin En quietly cast the snake sense spell on himself. In the thermal vision, the cold Black Stone City was glowing blue at night, and only a few wizards around him and some rooms were glowing orange and yellow.

Lynn turned his head and observed the surroundings of Gilt Inn calmly.

The first-level wizard Moore made quite a noise, and in the darkness in the distance, the silhouette of a security wizard could be vaguely seen flying over.

Lynn searched carefully but found no trace of invisible matter.

'Could it be that I missed it when I was walking away just now, and it has already left the Gilt Inn?'

Lin En looked around and walked to a bell tower not far away.

Standing at the highest point, you can have a panoramic view of the nearby scenery.

Moore returned to the inn at this time, apparently to rescue the second apprentice of the Root School. The security wizard in the distance had not yet arrived at the scene, and passers-by also hurried away.

It was cold and quiet all around, and Lynn observed patiently.

Finally, he found a faint red spot above a street on the south side of Gilt Hotel!

Lin En half-closed his eyes and quickly went down the bell tower.

……

"Damn it, the intelligence was wrong. It said there was no first-level wizard accompanying them, but now there is clearly a first-level wizard secretly protecting them!"

On a remote street corner somewhere, the strange wizard Tammy, who had changed into a white robe commonly seen in Black Rock City, was walking slowly on the street.

Originally, after injecting the toxin through the "aphid disc", Tammy planned to control the "bug" in her hand to search for Lynn Kent's inheritance, but she never expected that just a moment later, the apprentice was found unconscious by a first-level wizard.

So Tammy, who had originally planned to collect the aphids, decisively chose to escape and is now waiting for the precious aphid discs to return.

When passing an alley, Tammy paused and turned to glance at the sky not far away.

There was nothing there, but because of her connection to the aphid disk, Tammy knew that the aphid disk was there and would return soon.

He turned and walked into the alley.

Swish!
The next moment, without any warning, a figure quietly emerged from the air behind Tammy.

Tammy reacted quickly, but the figure was too close and even faster!

Click, click! !

"what!!"

Two arms surrounded by sharp air currents attacked from the left and right, and with terrifying force, tore Tammy's left and right arms into pieces in the blink of an eye!

Blood gushed out immediately and Tammy wailed miserably.

The stump was thrown to the ground by Lynn. He raised his right foot, grabbed Tammy's broken shoulders, and continued to kick at his calves!

Tammy is also a tough guy. Despite the pain of his torn arm, he still tried his best to cast defensive magic.

The light red shield blocked Lynn's kick, and Tammy had a precious moment to catch her breath. Just as she was about to cast a spell to counterattack, she heard a dull cracking sound from the shield at her foot.

Click, click!
The next moment, the same pain came from her calf, and Tammy found that she had suddenly become shorter!
The White Crow sword energy that can be released with hands and feet, combined with Lin En's current physical strength, makes it like a violent chainsaw when he punches or kicks, with terrifying power.

In contrast, Tammy's skills are all on insects, and the defensive magic she masters is just barely useful. At close range, she can't stop Lynn's fierce attack at all!

rustling—

Light green vines grew out from under Tammy's body, tightly binding him while he was unable to move.

Finally, Lin En came to Tammy, put his hand on her lower abdomen, called on his own magic power, temporarily dispersed the magic power in Tammy's body, and made her unable to release witchcraft for a short time. Only then did he finally stop.

Tammy was still screaming, hoping to attract the attention of those around her.

But while attacking, Lynn also cast a soundproofing spell on this place, and Tammy's voice was completely eliminated after only one meter of transmission.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for a wizard apprentice to cast two or more witchcrafts at the same time. This is because the spirit can only build one witchcraft model at the same time.

Lin En couldn't do it either. The reason why he was able to use the soundproofing spell at the same time was because he only cast this one spell.

The previous attack was essentially a combination of White Crow swordsmanship and ordinary fighting. One of the two was cast through the White Crow magic energy group, and the other came from physical strength. Neither of them was witchcraft.

During the entire battle, Lynn only used two witchcrafts, one was the soundproofing spell used in the initial attack, and the other was the green vine spell used to bind Tammy.

"Sir, I have no grudge against you. Why did you suddenly attack me? If you want the magic stone, take it. I only ask you to spare my life..."

Tammy noticed the existence of the soundproofing technique, and felt her own magic cyclone collapsing. She felt a surge of despair in her heart, and pleaded decisively.

"Who sent you to deal with me?" Lin En asked slowly, controlling his face to temporarily return to its original appearance.

Tammy was startled for a moment, slowly raised her head, and then her pupils suddenly shrank!
"Lynn Kent...?!"

He never expected that the person in front of him would be Lin En!
The aphid disc is tiny in size and has few functions, only the functions of adsorption, concealment, poison injection and recycling, and cannot identify the specific host to which it is attached.

So Tammy thought she had successfully poisoned Lynn until just now...

"You found aphid discs? How is that possible?

"Moreover, you were able to break free from its grip. This is impossible!"

Tammy muttered in disbelief.

Lin En was a little confused by his next sentence, because he didn't feel that the aphid disk was difficult to break free.

"When the aphid discs come into contact with human skin, they become fixed and blend into the skin silently over the next hour, making them almost impossible to detect.

"If I want to remove it, I can only cut off the skin..."

Tammy continued to mutter, not knowing if she was stalling for time.

But Lin En also understood the whole story. He smiled faintly at Tammy and said:

"My skin is different from that of ordinary people."

After his physical body was upgraded to the first level, Lin En always maintained the blood armor.

Although the defensive power of this armor is only equivalent to that of ordinary 0-level medium witchcraft, its consumption is extremely low when not attacked.

Even if Lin En turned it on all the time, he would just have to eat a few more bowls of rice every day, which is not a burden at all.

Therefore, Lin En always maintained the blood armor, which meant that the aphid disc was unable to integrate into his skin at all.

"Who sent you?" Lin En continued to ask in a deep voice. Tammy's eyes flickered: "After I tell you, will you let me go?"

Lynn snorted coldly and kicked Tammy's lower abdomen with his toes again, dispersing the magic power that the latter had quietly gathered.

Tammy groaned, looking at the grim-looking boy in front of her, and couldn't help feeling a little desperate.

When Lin En launched his attack, he was already close, but the methods he was good at were mostly long-range. In a split second, he only had time to use a defensive spell before he was completely defeated.

"Such powerful concealment capabilities, such powerful reconnaissance capabilities, and those powerful attacks..."

Tammy suddenly regretted accepting this task. He smiled bitterly:
"I am from the Scarlet Society and I am a killer. I just accepted a mission this time and I don't know who the employer behind this is."

Lin En frowned. He knew the Scarlet Society. Anderson had mentioned this society during his last class for them. It was a large killer society and very mysterious.

Lynn continued to interrogate her for a few more sentences. Tammy looked very painful, but her answers did not provide much information.

It seems that he is just a killer who accepted a commission and has no idea who is the mastermind behind it!

The clue suddenly stopped here. Lin En frowned deeply, wondering who would hire a killer to deal with him.

After a moment's silence, Lin En continued to ask:

"Tell me the details of the mission you accepted!"

Tammy in front of him really doesn't know who the employer behind him is, but he may be able to infer the employer's true identity through the task information given by the employer!

"The details of the mission..." Tammy's face was pale, and her voice was a little weak due to excessive blood loss.

But he still stumbled over the details of the mission.

Lynn keenly captured a key point:

"In the mission details, it was mentioned that I possess powerful hidden magic?"

"No...that's right...please let me go, sir. I am willing to pay compensation in magic stones..." Tammy pleaded intermittently.

Blood was oozing out from the wounds on his arms and calves, and he was on the verge of death.

Lynn remained expressionless as she continued to interrogate Tammy until the latter could no longer speak and stood up.

Afterwards, he put an end to it completely with the silver wrist sword he carried with him.

'Not many people know that I possess powerful hidden magic.

'Only three, in fact.'

Lin En's eyes flickered, and the images of the three Silver Ring apprentices who were jointly carrying out the task of installing the witch array hub emerged in his mind.

"Wilfer..."

Lynn whispered to himself, put away his silver wrist sword, and began to search Tammy's body.

He discovered the "queen insect" living in Tammy's chest and the returning aphid disc, but after Tammy died, both of them quickly lost signs of life.

In the end, Lynn only found 5 intermediate magic stones, several primary magic stones and some miscellaneous worthless items from Tammy.

……

……

"Pay attention and follow closely. Don't fall behind."

Next to the teleportation array, Morrison said loudly.

The Golden Thorn apprentices were walking into the teleportation array in order.

Their next stop is the Thousand Lakes Wizard Territory. After arriving, they will not stay for too long and will be teleported to the Silver Ring Academy again.

Lin En stood on the teleportation array with a calm expression.

Since the Gilt Inn was not far from them, the apprentices nearby also heard about this and some were talking about it.

"Senior Lin En, I heard that the unlucky apprentice was one of the five apprentices we met yesterday. That's great!"

Caroline next to her came closer and said.

"Really? I slept soundly last night and didn't hear any unusual movements." Lin En replied with a smile.
"Based on the personalities of those wizards yesterday, I'm not surprised at all that they were attacked. It's just a pity that I didn't get to see the man's miserable appearance at the scene with my own eyes." Caroline continued, with a happy expression.

Lin En smiled and said, "Maybe they don't treat everyone like this..."

Caroline nodded. Leah next to her also wanted to join in the conversation, but Morrison in front reminded her:

"Stop chatting and go back to your seats. The teleportation array will be activated soon."

With a flash of white light, the figure of the Golden Thorn apprentice suddenly disappeared.

In the waiting room.

"...You mean, you suspect the murderer is the apprentice with the thorn badge who had a conflict with you yesterday?"

The first-level wizard Moore frowned and looked at Henant who had just woken up, and shook his head.
“It can’t be them. You’re wrong. The Black Rock City security wizard found the remains of a body in the streets near the Gilt Inn last night. I speculate that the murderer may be related to the body.

"It's a pity that we have to rush to Yinhuan College and don't have time to stop and investigate. This matter can only be left like this for the time being."

Henant wanted to say something, but Moore was no longer willing to listen and just said calmly:
"Recover well. Studying abroad at Yinhuan College is the most important thing for you."

Hernant's expression changed, and he finally nodded reluctantly.

……

……

This place is thousands of meters above the ground. Dark clouds are surging right above our heads, and a heavy rain is brewing.

The reflection of blue-purple lightning flickered on the surface of the silver-white transmission tower. This was one of the top high-rise buildings in the entire Yinhuan Academy, handling a large number of people all day long.

On the 89th floor of the tower, Lin En followed Morrison and slowly walked down the teleportation array, staring blankly out the window.

The cloudy Silver Ring Academy was very dark. On the plain, countless tall towers and castles were crowded together, and only the outlines and the faint lights shining through the windows could be seen.

This place has the crowdedness and prosperity of the previous cyberpunk world, with countless wizards shuttling between towers and castles, but without neon lights and with many strange buildings and creatures.

Click!

A flash of lightning split the clouds, briefly banishing the darkness.

Lin En's pupils shrank slightly, and in the bright light of lightning, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a corner of some huge monster.

Silver-gray, hanging high in the clouds...

Looking up, lightning struck again and Lin En finally saw clearly.

It was a huge circular fortress, suspended in the sky, surrounded by dark clouds and lightning, with only a small part of its silver-gray curved body exposed...

This is the iconic "Silver Ring Fortress" of Silver Ring College.

Silver Ring College...we're here.
