The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 117: Goodwill and Indifference (12)

Daphne led Lynn out of the alley and into a shuttle.

Lynn sat quietly in the back seat, not saying a word.

He did not exit the sensing state. At this moment, he noticed that the fluctuations of the Black Moon Relic on Daphne's body had completely disappeared. He could no longer feel it, and he had lost that sense of control.

A question suddenly popped up in Lin En's mind, and he asked:

"Sir Daphne, I would like to know the sensing state of the Black Moon Relic. Besides being able to detect the Black Moon Relics around, does it have any other functions?"

"No." Daphne answered without thinking. She turned around and looked at Lynn.

"I know your doubts. It's just that you think this state of induction may have other uses.

"I can only say that you are not the only one who has had this feeling, but at least no one has discovered more uses for the induction state yet.

"If it weren't so, it wouldn't be called an induction state."

Lin En nodded silently, but he felt more and more strange in his heart.

However, the information he had was too little, and he didn't even have a real Black Moon relic in his hands, so he couldn't come up with any useful conclusions.

Lin En then relaxed his brows and turned to observe the shuttle in front of him.

He actually had a shuttle, but he left it in his residence in Cuilin City.

On the one hand, it was because they had taken a teleportation array when they came here, and the cost of carrying the shuttle was too high. On the other hand, even if Lin En could be transported here, he would still need to go through various complicated procedures to legally drive the shuttle within the scope of Silver Ring City, which would also cost a lot.

The combined cost of the two parts is enough to build a new shuttle.

The interior of Daphne's shuttle in front of him was much more exquisite and refined than his previous shuttle which didn't even have seats. It also flew more smoothly and was obviously more advanced and expensive.

"Where are you taking me?"

"You'll know when you get there. It's a contact point for the association."

Lin En looked out the window and noticed that the direction of the flight was towards Midtown, which made him feel a little more at ease.

……

The shuttle finally landed in front of a bustling high tower, and Daphne took Lynn to a witch robe shop on the 13th floor.

This witch robe shop is not big, with many shelves inside, and it is dark and cramped.

There were no customers at the moment, only an old woman sitting behind the counter at the door.

Daphne ignored the woman and walked straight into the store with Lynn.

The two of them bypassed the hanging witch robes, passed through the crowded alley, and stopped at the innermost corner of the wall. Daphne took out a plain black disc and stuck it on a pattern on the wall.

The disc is about the size of a thumb, hollow in the middle, and strung together by Daphne with a thin rope, like an inconspicuous ornament.

But when it was pasted on the wall, a faint light appeared.

After a while, a hidden door opened in the wall.

"Let's go." Daphne said and led the way in.

Lynn had some anticipation on her face, but was greatly disappointed when she entered.

Behind the door was just a cramped little room with a long black table against the wall and a square black box on the table. Apart from that, there was only a crystal chandelier for lighting.

"Sign this, and then come up with a code name for yourself, and I'll apply for an identification badge for you."

Daphne came to the black box and placed the nameplate on it. A crystal control hub suddenly rose in the center of the black box.

She put her hand on it, took out a membership contract and handed it to Lin En.

"By the way, the style of the ID badge can also be customized. Try to choose a style that is easy to carry and inconspicuous."

Lin En frowned inwardly, took the contract and read it carefully. After a moment, his expression looked better.

This membership contract does not contain any overly harsh terms, and most of the terms are kept confidential.

At this time, Lin En suddenly thought of another question. He did not rush to sign the contract. He raised his head and asked again: "Mr. Daphne, the contract is full of confidentiality clauses... Black Moon Academy has been destroyed for tens of thousands of years. If it is just to explore it, why does the association pursue such a high degree of secrecy?"

Daphne stared at him and asked back:
"Do you know how Black Moon Academy perished?"

"I don't know." Lynn shook his head.

"We don't know either." Daphne replied, "But we know that the dark hand behind this may still exist.

“It’s nothing for a person to accidentally obtain one or two Black Moon relics, and no one will care.

"But a group of people who possess the Black Moon Relic and are dedicated to exploring this ancient academy have gathered together... Then, concealment is the top priority and the most important thing."

Lynn was still a little confused, but Daphne added:

“Let’s take a step back and say that even if the dark hand that destroyed the Black Moon Academy no longer exists, there are still many more organizations and individuals in this world who are pursuing that ancient and powerful school.

"In front of such a huge treasure, everyone is a competitor."

"So, the association not only keeps a secret from the outside world, but also from the inside. Your identity is only known to me, the guide, and some of the association's top leaders... Have you thought of your code name?"

Lin En pondered for a moment and said, "Gao Feng."

Perhaps only people from his previous life can understand the meaning of "Dark Moon and Strong Wind" behind his code name.

"Gao Feng..." Daphne turned around and applied for Lin En on the black box. She seemed to have thought of something and turned back to say,
“By the way, my code name is Rose. Next time if there are any association members present, remember to call me by my code name.

"In fact, I could have kept my true identity from you, but I chose to do so anyway... You are the only person in the association who knows my true identity, and I hope we can help each other in the future."

"It seems... there is no harmony within this association." Lin En looked at Daphne calmly, signed the contract, and said slowly:

"I will."

……

……

At noon, Lynn returned to the dormitory in Sobi Tower.

He sat on the sofa by the window, playing with a brown button in his hand.

This was the identity badge of the Black Moon Exploration Association that Lin En received. After Daphne helped him do these things, she left alone.

When he left, Daphne told him that the association would occasionally hold meetings and he could attend if he had time.

But other than that, Daphne didn't say anything else.

No requests, no instructions.

It was as if she did all this just to get Lynn to join this weird Black Moon Academy Exploration Society.

The rest... nothing else to ask for.

After putting away the identity badge, Lin En's expression was calm and indifferent.

No matter how nicely Daphne said it, it couldn't change the fact that she almost killed him.

Lin En speculated that if he was just an ordinary wizard apprentice, he would be killed by Daphne and the Black Moon relic would be taken away before he could even pass the association's entrance examination.

That didn't happen, simply because Daphne thought that the Black Moon Relic on him was not of high rank, and he was an apprentice of Goldthorn, so it was not worth taking action.

As for taking the initiative to help him apply to join the association... Daphne must have some other plan.

Maybe it was to have an extra helper to fight against the hostile existence in the association, or maybe it was for something else...

Lin En gathered his thoughts and walked into the meditation room, intending to observe the blank electricity in the void.

No matter what Daphne planned to do, no matter what conspiracy there was outside, his best course of action was always to improve himself.

After closing the door, Lynn sat cross-legged on the cushion.

After making all the adjustments, he selected the front part of the void of electricity and began to peek!
