The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 21 Thoughts
Facing Ant's questioning, Lynn remained calm.

He had actually anticipated that this day would come.

After a pause, Lin En replied with a smile according to the reason he had prepared long ago:

"I just didn't go to the Wuhuan rally, Ante. But that doesn't mean I haven't worked hard to pay off my debts.

"Remember the book that nearly got me strangled to death by Lord Ushmiul?"

"The book about making crystal tablets? I remember you and Ailian...well, you bought it before, didn't you?"

Jigos coughed and quickly changed his words to avoid hurting Lin En's feelings.

"Yes, I am currently learning how to make crystal pieces."

Lynn nodded in response, ignoring Jigos' cough.

Being abandoned by Elena, that was the original owner, and had nothing to do with him...

"It's not that easy to learn how to make crystal flakes." Leot shook his head, his expression no longer puzzled.

For ordinary people, if they want to make a profit by making crystal pieces from scratch, they will need to persist for several years at least, not counting the learning investment.

This is also the reason why these apprentices generally do not have any special skills.

In the past 9 years of study, until the last moment, none of them felt that they had no hope of being promoted to wizard apprentice, and instead spent a lot of time and energy learning a craft to make a living.

What if all it takes is the time and energy wasted on learning other skills to be promoted to a wizard apprentice?

He is a wizard apprentice. If he can be promoted, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he will reach heaven in one step.

So, until the last moment, no one dared to bet on this possibility.

But when they waited until the last moment, it was too late.

At most, you can buy some useful knowledge like Lin En and Elena did.

“But at least it’s safe, isn’t it? Besides, I found that I seem to have some talent in this area.” Lynn replied.

His expression was extremely calm.

After all, what he said was basically true and could stand up to scrutiny by anyone.

"No matter what, I wish you success, Lin." Jigos no longer had any doubts, but instead gave his blessing.

"Thank you."

After chatting for a while, Lynn said goodbye to the boys and returned to his shed.

All in all, five days have passed since the last time I spied on him.

He just checked during the conversation and found that his energy had been fully restored.

It's time to take another peek.

……

In the hut of Gigos.

Three young men gathered here.

After sitting down, Ant frowned slightly, still feeling somewhat confused, and said:
"Do you really believe that Lynn has only been in the shed learning how to make crystal pieces?"

"So... you mean Lynn is lying to us?" Leona pouted, "Ante, look at what you are saying and use your brain, okay?"

"I don't mean that. I just find it weird... Look, he's not even afraid of those two thugs now." Ant explained.

"People change, Ant." Gigos said solemnly, "Lin has been with us for nine years, we know each other inside out, there's no need for him to lie.

"Besides, you were the one who told him about the crystal making book, weren't you?"

"That's right, Ant, but you—" Leona said sarcastically, "You haven't explained to me clearly, this afternoon, you clearly chose potion No. 6, why did you insist on snatching potion No. 8 from me?
"Do you think the potion in my hand has less side effects, wimp?"

"I didn't..." Ant's face flushed, but he couldn't refute. Finally, he coughed in anger.

"Nothing. Didn't you expect that the side effects of potion No. 8 would be worse in the end?" Leona sneered.

“Cough…cough cough——”

"Okay, we are all old friends now." Gigos stopped the quarrel and stepped forward to pat Ant on the back.
"Ante, you are wrong about this matter. Apologize to Leona."

Ant took a breath and was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, Leona, I was just... I was just too scared."

Leona curled her lips, and Jigos looked at him and said:

"Leona, although Ant stole your potion, in the end it was the one in your hand that had the greater side effects... For my sake, please forgive him."

Leona snorted coldly, and finally sighed:
"For the sake of Gigos, I forgive you, Ant. But remember, there will never be a next time."

pop-

"Alright—" Jigos clapped his hands, attracted the two people's attention, and said in a deep voice,
"The conflict has been resolved. Next, we will draw lots. "... Everyone, come closer. It's time to choose who will receive the extraordinary transformation."

The three young men moved closer to each other and sat around the candlelight.

The orange flames flickered, and black shadows danced quietly behind them.

……

the other side.

Lin En has finished his second glimpse into the White Crow swordsmanship.

Lin En casually threw away the secondary magic stone that had turned into gravel in his hand and carefully felt the changes brought about by this peeping.

This was not his first time to peek into the truth, and he thought he would not be so excited anymore, but the gains from this peek still made him overjoyed.

Perhaps the last time I peeped into the truth, I solved the most difficult problem. This time, the improvement brought by peeping into the truth is huge!

First, the half-part White Crow Swordsmanship was directly expanded into three complete parts, leaving only the originally incomplete chest and back and the second layer unfinished.

Secondly, his mastery of the White Crow swordsmanship also improved from entry level to proficient!
Lin En looked at himself again, and the golden light gathered into a curtain of light——

[Name: Lynn Kent]

【Age: 16】

[Realm: White Crow Swordsmanship·Dual Arms (21/100)]

[Skills: Preparation of Spiritual Shock Crystal Slices (Proficient); White Crow Swordsmanship: Remnant (Proficient)]

[Source energy: 0 (self); 0 (world)]

After the White Crow Swordsmanship became more complete, the progress limit of the White Crow Swordsmanship·Dual Arms in the Realm column also changed from 50 to 100.

'I don't know how much the White Crow Swordsmanship at the proficient level can be improved by practicing it once.'

Do it when you think of it.

Lin En immediately stood up and practiced the White Crow Sword Technique with both arms.

This time he did not practice with the short sword he had bought, but instead used the long sword he got from Chidi.

The sword was slender and straight, with a sharp blade that gleamed with cold light. It was forged from fine steel, and its surface was finely polished, giving it a deep silver-gray luster.

The most important thing is that it is roughly one meter long, while the previous dagger was only as long as the forearm.

The length difference between the two is almost 3 times, and the feeling when practicing is obviously different.

But it's just a different feeling, there will be no difference in the effect of cultivation.

The reason why one needs to hold the sword when practicing White Crow Swordsmanship is to practice sword-fighting techniques at the same time, which does not affect the effect of strengthening oneself with magic power.

Not long after, Lin En finished practicing the White Crow Sword Technique.

He opened the light curtain again, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up uncontrollably.

After just one practice, the progress of White Crow Sword Art·Dual Arms increased by 2 points!
If you can increase two points each time, and practice 10 times a day -

It only takes 4 days for him to perfect the double-arm portion of the White Crow Sword Technique, and with another 10 days, he will be able to perfect the first three parts!

You should know that the complete White Crow swordsmanship can roughly have the power of an ordinary second-class apprentice!
Although the second level is a qualitative change, the perfection of the first three parts is enough to make him not afraid of most threats in the shantytown.

Unfortunately……

Reality is not a game, and growth from practice cannot be calculated that way.

In reality, the improvement that Lin En gets every time he practices White Crow Swordsmanship is not a fixed value.

And generally speaking, the later the game progresses, the harder it is, and the improvement that can be brought by practice will be reduced.

"But even if it's slower, it won't be that slow..."

Lin En sat on the bed again, took out the six secondary magic stones from his body, and made a decision silently.

'The White Crow swordsmanship is sufficient for now. Next, it's time to start the next plan -

'A glimpse into the meditation method of the Horsens apprentice!'

"But before that, we have to wait another 5 days..." Lin En looked at the light screen and sighed slightly.
'I don't know if there is any way to speed up the recovery of my own energy...'

'Remember that there are things in this world that can relieve physical fatigue or restore mental fatigue.

'Will they help?

"...Let's go to the market tomorrow and sell the crystal pieces we made."
