The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 173 Halo
At Yinhuan College, "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" is not considered a serious crime, and the punishment is mainly a fine.

However, Charn had already arranged for law enforcement wizards.

With their cooperation, Lynn and his companion will be imprisoned for at least half a month.

Charn did this on Manuel's orders.

The third-tier wizard planned to imprison Lynn and his companion for at least half a month.

Therefore, Lynn and his companion would no longer be able to advance the handover process of the base.

This would give Manuel more room to maneuver in the struggle over the expropriation of his residence, allowing him to fight against the Minister of Construction, Leant, and prevent his property from being expropriated in vain.

After all, the formalities for the residence were indeed flawless on the surface. If a wizard from the Horsens School came to complain, and Leant used this as an excuse to exert his influence, then Manuel would really have no way to deal with it and could only let the property be expropriated.

After all, all the land here strictly belongs to Silver Ring Academy, and they are merely users.

Actually, to be honest, this six-story building is nothing to a third-tier wizard.

But face is very important.

If Manuel were to let Ryan take over his property, it would undoubtedly be a loss for him, and he was unwilling to do so.

“That’s about it.” Charn’s mind raced, and he amplified the effects of the magic.

In the nearby alley, the wizard apprentices surrounding Lynn and his companion felt a surge of intense anger rising within them!

The wizard apprentice who smashed the crystal ball, in particular, gritted his teeth and cursed again!
If he were to encounter an ordinary first-tier wizard, he would certainly choose to retaliate at this moment, giving the arrogant wizard apprentice in front of him a profound lesson.

Lynn sensed something was wrong but didn't react immediately. Samuel, the aloof wizard, was not an arrogant or reckless person. Although he was somewhat annoyed, he also didn't react for the time being and instead looked at Lynn.

"I have a feeling something's off," Lynn said telepathically, intending to explain further.

But the wizard apprentice in front of him could no longer tolerate it and was about to cast a spell!

Lynn frowned, his body sensing danger, and he instinctively released his armor of will.

But the next second, the wizard apprentice in front of him suddenly froze and gradually dispelled the magic in his hands.

Without him realizing it, the anger in his heart had vanished without a trace, replaced by dejection.

"Oh dear, I have such bad luck. I finally saved up enough money to buy the crystal ball and it just broke like that... I shouldn't have taken it out to check it while I was on the road."

"Ultimately, it's because I'm too poor. I can't afford storage magic tools, and I can't afford a flying boat... Sigh, I'm so useless..."

As the apprentice spoke, he squatted down beside the crystal shards and sighed repeatedly.

The wizard apprentices nearby also seemed to be thinking of something disheartening; their faces were all grim, and sighs rose and fell.

Some complained about life, some blamed themselves, and some lazily sat down on the spot, gazing absently into the distance.

“This is…” Samuel was taken aback, but then he heard Lynn beside him say, “This is not a safe place to stay. Let’s leave quickly.”

Lynn strode past the wizard apprentices.

The two law enforcement wizards who were watching from a distance exchanged a glance and quickly contacted Charn.

They were instructed to immediately seize the two first-tier wizards as soon as the fight broke out.

But what happened to the promised struggle?
"Lord Chain..."

"Don't just stand there, catch up with them first!"

"But what's the reason?"

"Forget about the reasons, catch up with them quickly and tell them that they are abusing witchcraft among their apprentices."

"……OK."

But by then, it was too late for the two law enforcement wizards to give chase.

While they were distracted, Lynn had already led Samuel onto a public shuttle and driven away from the area. In the shuttle, Samuel's gaze lingered on the streets they had just passed. The wizard apprentices, now back to normal, were looking at each other with bewildered expressions, lingering fear in their eyes.

"What was that just now...?"

"I learned a spell by chance that can 'calm down' people," Lynn explained casually, but he vaguely understood that this must be the effect of the Knight's Aura that he had not yet tested.

As the Willpower Armor is activated, the Knight's Aura also unfolds.

It seems that one's knightly aura can make people "dejected" and force them to calm down.

'It worked well for the apprentices, even suppressing their inexplicable anger. But it had little effect on first-tier wizards, and Samuel didn't seem to notice anything special about it.'

Overall, it's not bad; the description of the halo in the Black Moon Spirit Body is only mentioned briefly.

'The essence of an aura is the imprinting of will; in battles of equal level, it can only serve as a secondary function. However, it seems quite effective for crushing weaker opponents, requiring almost no effort.'

"So, someone used witchcraft to bewitch those apprentices and come to cause us trouble?"

Samuel, being a quick-witted man, realized what was happening and asked in surprise.

“Maybe.” Lynn nodded, his thoughts returning to their earlier encounter. “In any case, those apprentices came in a really strange way. It’s always better to leave quickly.”

“Indeed.” Samuel nodded, but inwardly he was somewhat impressed by Lynn’s keenness and caution.

He did sense something was amiss, but he didn't dwell on it. When the wizard apprentice launched his attack, he couldn't think of a better way to respond than to retaliate.

But Lynn not only noticed something was wrong before him, but also later dealt with the matter using appropriate witchcraft... truly impressive.

Samuel was unaware that luck played a large part in it, but then again, even without the knightly aura, Lynn had planned to ignore the group of wizard apprentices and leave with Samuel.

Caution has always been a principle this wizard adheres to, and he has never relaxed his adherence to it.

"Do you think it was the wizard from the Tower Construction Department or the managing wizard who was behind this?" Samuel continued to ask.

“I don’t know.” Lynn shook his head and said in a deep voice, “But if he can use a dirty trick once, he can do it again.”

"Let's not go back to our lodgings yet, let's go straight to Professor Horsens and report this matter."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Two hours later, Lynn and Samuel arrived at Silver Ring Prison.

After showing their identification to the wizard at the door and explaining their purpose, they were led to a small room near the entrance to wait.

Two full hours passed before they finally met Wizard Horsens.

Although it's just a clone, it's still reassuring.

After listening quietly to what the two had to say, Horsens slowly nodded:
"I understand. There's no need to worry about this. I'll handle it. Just wait for news."

The words were brief, but they truly relieved Lynn and Samuel.

Three days later, the wizard from the Tower Construction Department found Lynn and his companion again and successfully completed the handover of the base.

It's worth mentioning that the location of the base has not changed; it's still that six-story building belonging to Manuel.

This time, however, the handover process proceeded without any further complications.

In addition, after the successful handover of the post, Lynn and Samuel, as the wizards in charge of the post, also obtained a special identity called the "External Post Wizards" at Silver Ring Academy.

This role can be likened to that of an ambassador for Earth, but the rights and benefits vary in many ways.

What excited Lynn the most was—

With this identity, he can now travel freely to the most mysterious Upper City of Silver Ring Academy, the huge ring-shaped fortress that always hovers in the sky, without any censorship!
