The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 116: Association and Relics (11)

Due to the long distance, Lin En's connection with Good Luck was not close, and the information he could receive was somewhat vague.

All Lynn could tell was that Wilfer seemed to have done something abnormal.

After pondering for a moment, Lin En changed direction and began to move closer to good luck.

Although he had a hunch that Wilfer was not the real mastermind behind the scenes.

But intuition is just intuition. Logically speaking, Wilfer is still the most suspicious person, and he cannot ignore this possibility.

As Lin En got closer to Good Luck, the information he received became clearer and clearer.

Good Luck seemed to see Wilfer changed into a concealed set of clothes, left the house in a hurry, and was walking towards somewhere.

Good luck is quietly following behind you at this moment.

Wilfer's pace was not slow, and in order to maintain contact with Good Luck, Lynn subconsciously quickened his pace.

"Be careful, you're going too fast!" a pedestrian shouted on the side of the road.

Lin En was startled, slowed down his pace, looked around, and walked towards the public shuttle platform next to him. There was a shuttle arriving at the platform, and the destination displayed on the shuttle was just on the way.

Wilfer was still walking, perhaps to hide his whereabouts. With the help of the shuttle, Lynn approached him quickly.

The shuttle slowly stopped at a platform. Lin En sensed the location of Good Luck and chose to get off the shuttle and walk towards a slightly old street.

This was already the edge of the middle city, and in front of us was the lower city. The streets were becoming crowded, and there were more pedestrians. Not far away, someone was arguing, and was about to fight. The wizards of the law enforcement team were flying over the sky in a shuttle, but there was no reaction.

The power of public security has become weak here, and petty fights and thefts are no longer taken seriously.

Lin En's heart trembled, and he became more alert. Following the sensation, he walked forward quickly.

About ten minutes later, in a narrow alley, Lynn saw Good Luck and Wilfer, who was wearing a gray-black wizard robe, a hood on his head, and wrapped himself tightly, not far in front of it.

Lynn slowed down his pace, letting Wilfer disappear from his sight, then returned to normal speed and continued forward with Good Luck.

He didn't need to see Wilfer, it was too dangerous.

At such a close distance, Lin En could already share Good Luck's vision. So letting Good Luck follow Wilfer closely, while Lin En followed further behind, was the safest option.

After a while, from the perspective of good luck, Wilfer turned into a residential area, and then after a few steps, he stopped in front of a residential tower.

A moment later, a woman walked out of the tower gate and greeted Wilfer with a happy face.

Lin En let Good Luck get closer and clearly heard the woman complaining:

"Why didn't you contact me for so long? I thought you had forgotten me."

"How is that possible, Windsor? I'm just unlucky. I had a setback in Cuilin City. I've been receiving punishment from the academy for some time and have been unable to contact the outside world. I just came back these two days."

Wilfer explained, stepping forward and hugging the woman, kissing her.

"Is it really impossible to contact the outside world, or do you not want to contact me?" The woman smiled but still asked relentlessly.

"I knew you were going to ask this. Here, this is the official punishment notice issued by the academy. It clearly states that your magic power is banned during the punishment period. You are not allowed to use any magic tools, and you are not allowed to have any contact with the outside world."

Wilfer took off his silver ring badge and handed it to Windsor, saying with a little grievance,

"I came to see you as soon as I finished my work."

"Well, I was wrong about you." Windsor just glanced at him and smiled, responding to Wilfer.

"I have earned another 1000 magic stones during this period. I will give them all to you later. You must do your best in this Holy Mi Ring Meeting.

"If you can become a first-level wizard, then we don't have to be like this anymore."

"…Thank you, Windsor."

Wilfer took Windsor in his arms and walked into the tower. The door closed and the two of them disappeared.

Good Luck appeared on the roof and landed lightly on the street. Lynn walked out from the corner and stared at the tall tower not far ahead with shining eyes.

He originally thought that Wilfer's mysterious departure was a sign of some new conspiracy.

But I didn't expect that I was just here to meet a woman.

"Besides, we can't contact the outside world..."

If Wilfer did not lie, it means that he was not the one who hired the murderer.

Lin En thought quietly for a moment, then turned and left.

After this investigation, most of the suspicion on Wilfer has been eliminated, but the doubts in his heart have become stronger.

Lynn walked slowly towards the nearest public shuttle platform.

When passing through an alley, several masked wizard apprentices suddenly surrounded them.

"500 magic stones will ensure your safe passage here." The leading man said coldly.

Lin En paused for a moment, frowned, and patiently showed his silver ring badge, saying calmly:
"roll."

These masked apprentices were decisive. When they saw Lin En showing his badge, they disappeared quickly before he could even say the word "get out".

The Silver Ring Apprentice was not completely safe in the Lower City, but at least he was not someone that these petty thieves who blocked the road could mess with.

Lynn continued to move forward, but a familiar voice came from the side.

"Long time no see, Lynn." Daphne walked out from the street behind Lynn with a smile on her face.
"It's really not easy to find you."

Lynn turned around, frowned, and asked, "What does Lady Daphne want to talk to me about?"

Daphne did not answer, but just looked at the tower in the distance where Wilfer and the woman entered, and said slowly:

"You are a smart person to think of Wilfer, Lin En."

Lin En seemed to realize something, and his expression suddenly darkened:
"Is he the killer you hired?"

It is certain that the person who hired the killer knew that Lin En possessed powerful hiding abilities.

Besides Wilfer, the others who knew that Lynn had powerful hiding abilities included Clifford who was on the mission with him at the time, and... Daphne!

"It's me, and it's not me." Daphne still had that smiling look on her face, and said something that made Lin En a little confused.

Lynn stared at Daphne, lingering on her witch robe for a moment.

He was impressed by the powerful equipment of the female wizard apprentice.

In terms of strength, he is currently no match for Daphne who has powerful equipment.

Moreover, this is the downtown area with weak public security... The atmosphere between the two gradually became tense.

Daphne seemed unaware of it. After casting a soundproof spell on the place, she continued:

"That was a testing ceremony arranged by the association according to traditional rules. I was just a person who provided information."

"Association...what association?"

"Black Moon Academy Exploration Association."

Daphne said something that made Lynn's pupils shrink.

Black Moon Academy Exploration Association...Black Moon Academy?
Lin En was feeling uncertain, and Good Luck, who was standing next to him, sensed his emotions and grinned, revealing his cold fangs.

"Don't be nervous." Daphne said again, "Since you have passed the test, you are already one of us. I will not attack you again, Lin En."

Daphne said this, glanced at Lynn, and added meaningfully:

"Of course, the prerequisite is that you are willing to join the association."

She didn't move much, but her witch robe moved with the wind. She smiled and said,

"However, I believe you will not reject joining the association. It will only benefit you, not harm you.

"Don't worry, you can keep the Black Moon Academy relics on you. The association will not ask you to hand them over."

Black Moon Academy relics... I don't have any Black Moon Academy relics on me...

Lynn thought in his heart, vaguely realizing that Daphne in front of him and the Black Moon Exploration Association behind her seemed to have made some mistakes.

"How did you find me?" Lin En thought for a moment and asked slowly.

"Of course, it was through the Black Moon Relic in your body." Daphne answered without hesitation, "Although the fluctuations of the relic in your body were weak, you were not careful when using it.

"On July 7, I was going to visit you before returning to Silver Ring College, but I accidentally discovered the Black Moon vibration on you outside your residence."

July 7st, that was... the second day since I entered the Black Moon Spirit Body.

Lin En's doubts were finally resolved.

Although the specific principle is unknown, the current situation is obviously that when the Black Moon Spirit Body was just promoted, it produced some kind of fluctuation similar to the Black Moon Relic mentioned by Daphne.

Daphne therefore thought that he possessed the Black Moon Relic, and then the killer appeared, and then, Daphne came to him.

"I had planned to come find you when you arrived at Silver Ring City.

"But it seems that you settled down too late that day because of the accidental death of the apprentice you received. I had other things to do, so I planned to come to you the next day... But I didn't expect you to accept the mission so quickly, and you stayed in Felicity's villa the whole time."

Daphne continued, moving a little closer.

"But it's not too late to find you now."

She looked up at Lin En with a smile on her pretty face.

"I think you are now very curious about the fluctuations of the Black Moon Relic?"

Lynn remained silent, just took two steps back and kept a safe distance.

What Daphne said now was just her unilateral statement, and it was unknown whether it was true or false.

"I like your vigilance." Daphne saw his actions and instead of getting angry, she praised him and began to tell the story.
"Since you have the Black Moon Relic, you must know something about the Black Moon Academy." "The Black Moon Academy is an extremely large academy. At its peak, it was ranked among the best in the entire wizard civilization."

"Even the smallest branch is as powerful as Silver Ring College."

Daphne's face showed some emotion and enthusiasm. She continued:
“In addition to being extremely large, Black Moon Academy is also an extremely exclusive academy. They have mastered a unique and magical writing system. No one can learn this writing system except those recognized by Black Moon Academy.

"At least as far as I know, up to now, no wizard in the entire Aurora Region has been able to understand the Black Moon script!"

"Is that so?" Lynn agreed softly with a calm expression on his face.

Lynn had also heard the term Aurora Domain from Felicity.

It refers to the large area where Yinhuan College is located. The southwest border is Cuiying Forest, but the northeast border is not Yinhuan College.

Silver Ring Academy is just a larger force in the Aurora Domain, located in the southwest direction.

To the west, east, and even further to the north, there are many forces of equal size or even more powerful than Silver Ring Academy!
Daphne naturally couldn't see anything unusual about Lin En, she nodded and continued:

“It is precisely because of the characters that some of the more precious items from the Black Moon Academy, which are engraved with the original Black Moon characters, will produce a unique fluctuation.

“And this kind of thing is also called the Black Moon Relic by us.”

“So, the fluctuation of the Black Moon Relic is actually the fluctuation of the Black Moon text?” Lynn understood what Daphne meant and confirmed.

"Your understanding is correct, but the Black Moon text alone does not have this kind of fluctuation. Only the Black Moon text on some precious objects will produce this kind of fluctuation." Daphne nodded.

Lin En's face was grim. There was no way that there was any Black Moon text on his body.

Then there is only one possibility——

The Black Moon Spirit Body can produce some kind of fluctuations similar to the Black Moon text!

"It seems that this precious secret method of the Black Moon Academy is closely related to the strange Black Moon characters..."

Lynn looked at Daphne in front of him and had many questions to ask.

He wanted to ask Daphne how she detected the fluctuations of the Black Moon text.

He also wanted to know if he still had this kind of fluctuation, and how to cover it up...

Daphne looked at Lin En, seemed to see his confusion, and said with a smile,
“Join the association and you will know more.

"For example, how to detect the Black Moon fluctuations, or how to cover up the Black Moon fluctuations on your body."

Lin En was silent for a moment and asked:
"If I can't fight that killer..."

"If you can't resist, then death will surely await you." Daphne replied as a matter of course, "Not everyone can possess the Black Moon Relic."

Lynn was silent, and finally understood why Daphne called the assassination a testing ritual.

"What is the purpose of the Black Moon Academy Exploration Association? Why do they need me to join?" Lin En continued to ask, his heart beginning to relax.

If there really was a huge association behind Daphne, then he had no more choice.

"The purpose of the association is simple, which is to jointly explore everything about Black Moon Academy and share what we have." Daphne explained.

Lin En listened to her words, but always felt that it was not that simple. If this was the purpose, why would they set up such a cruel entry test?
Daphne said that this was a tradition, and it was to test whether one was qualified to possess the Black Moon Relic... It did make sense, and there was nothing wrong with the logic, but Lin En always felt it was a little strange.

Daphne continued:
"As for why I need you to join... On the one hand, it's because I had a good impression of you and submitted an application. On the other hand, in the other world discovered in the Green Shadow Forest, there is a world invasion fortress of the Black Moon Academy.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have obtained the Black Moon Relic by luck somewhere in the Green Shadow Forest."

Lynn nodded slowly, showing an appropriate look of surprise.

Daphne smiled faintly:
“Don’t be surprised. There is actually another member in the association who is as lucky as you. He also accidentally picked up a relic in the Green Shadow Forest.

"The Black Moon relics on you are probably accidentally spread out from the Blood Red World in the past thousands of years... This is why I went to the Green Shadow Forest."

Lynn watched Daphne carefully, realizing that she had not thought of herself as a survivor of the blood-red world.

Or rather, I thought about it, but ruled out this possibility.

The teleportation that took place during the war was no secret in Cuilin City, and the fact that none of the teleported apprentices survived was the result of an investigation by high-level wizards and the consensus of everyone.

"If it were just an ordinary exploration association, I could certainly join."

Lynn made up his mind and looked at Daphne and said.

If the association really existed, then even if he could kill Daphne or escape from her, it would be in vain because there would always be people who believed that he possessed the Black Moon relic.

And when those people found out that he didn't actually have the Black Moon Relic, he would undoubtedly face even greater trouble...

What's more, Lin En really wanted to know how to cover up his own Black Moon fluctuations.

"A wise choice." Daphne smiled and came to Lynn's side.

This time, Lin En did not retreat, but just asked:
"Now, can you tell me how to cover up the fluctuations of the Black Moon Relic?"

Daphne suddenly smiled brightly and said:

"There are two methods. One is to close the relic, and the other is to open the relic and imprint it with your spirit, so that you can fully master it... In fact, you have already done this, right?

"After all, the Black Moon fluctuations on your body only appeared briefly that morning and then disappeared."

Lin En was stunned: "In other words, I have covered up the Black Moon fluctuations on my body?"

"That's right." Daphne comforted him, "Don't think I'm lying to you. Joining the association will only benefit you. I went through this myself."

Lynn nodded calmly, he roughly understood.

After successfully entering the Black Moon Spirit Body that night, he had a mysterious sensation. It was not until the next afternoon that he found a way to control the sensation and shut it off.

The timing corresponds exactly to the time when Daphne felt the fluctuations of the black moon.

In other words, the reason why the Black Moon fluctuations occurred was most likely because he had released the mysterious induction brought by the Black Moon Spirit Body.

"As for how I detected the Black Moon fluctuations in you." Daphne stretched out her hand in front of Lin En.

“Feel the frequency of this spiritual fluctuation, then control your spirit to maintain this frequency, enter the Black Moon Relic you possess, and you will be able to feel the Black Moon Relics around you.

“This method may seem simple, but it is one of the major achievements of the association’s research and is also a benefit of membership.”

Lynn nodded, feeling the mental fluctuations displayed by Daphne.

“It is worth noting that in this state, the Black Moon Relic you possess will also emit Black Moon fluctuations, which we call the induction state.

"By the way, the range and quantity of the induction depends on the level of the relic you possess."

"Quantity?" Lin En was a little confused. The range was easy to understand, but the quantity was... ?
“Black Moon relics are divided into different grades. Generally speaking, low-grade relics cannot sense high-grade relics.

“Judging from what I did that day, the relics on me should be higher in rank than yours, but you may not be able to sense it.

"But I still have a lower-grade relic. You can try to see if you can sense it." Daphne said.

"You don't need to take out the Black Moon Relic from you. This is the established rule of the association. I don't intend to show you the Black Moon Relic that I have."

Lynn's mind flashed as he simulated Professor Daphne's mental fluctuations, and then activated the Black Moon Spirit Body's sensing.

At this moment, Lin En suddenly discovered that there was some unique change in the perception of the Black Moon Spirit Body.

It seems to have become more precise... and easier to control, like an upgrade?

“I can’t sense the Black Moon fluctuations on you.

"It seems that the relic you have is of a higher grade than the lower grade relic I have." Daphne shook her head and asked again,
"Can you feel the black moon fluctuations coming from me? It should be a vague sensation."

“I can feel it.” Although Lin En answered calmly on the surface, he was actually upset.

What Lynn felt was completely different from what Daphne said!

His feelings were not vague, but very clear!
He could feel that the lower-grade Black Moon relic that Daphne possessed was a soft armor plate that was sewn in the center of Daphne's witch robe on her chest.

Moreover, not only that, Lin En discovered that in this state, he seemed to be able to forcibly control the armor piece on Daphne's chest, which was a relic of the Black Moon!
The spiritual fluctuations imparted by Daphne were like a key that enabled him to unlock the other side of the Black Moon Spirit Body!
"Have you exited the sensing state?" Daphne suddenly asked again.

At this time, Lynn discovered that the perception of the scales on Daphne's chest in his mind became blurred, and was replaced by a new perception.

It was a slightly broken pendant, buried deep in the center of Daphne's collarbone.

"Well, I just exited the sensing state." Lynn felt Daphne's puzzled look and quickly answered with a smile. At the same time, he actually exited the sensing state, retaining only the basic sensing of the Black Moon Spirit Body.

"What now, Lady Daphne?"

"Hmm... I can feel it again."

Lynn's eyes flickered as he understood everything.

The induction brought by the Black Moon Spirit Body is actually an extremely high-level authority.

It's just that he didn't know how to use the key before, so this sense has always been in the most basic state, and he can only feel the Silver Ring City under his feet.

The mental fluctuations brought by Daphne are the key to completely unlocking the authority!

After using it, Lynn could not only feel the Black Moon Relic, but also seemed to be able to control it by force.

Moreover, it now seems that without his permission, it is no longer possible to detect the Black Moon fluctuations on his body through the induction of the Black Moon Relic.

At least, neither of the two Black Moon relics on Daphne could do that.

Only when Lin En actively switches the sensing to its most original state can he be discovered by the sensing of the Black Moon Relic.

Daphne also gradually exited the sensing state and said, "Okay, exit the sensing state. Follow me. We still have a lot to do."

She removed the shielding spells around her and stepped forward.

Lin En suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and quickly followed.

There are still some doubts in his mind that have not been resolved.
