The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 226 Wanted
As the black falcon slowly took off, the entire Silver Ring City gradually came into Lynn's view.

Under the gray sky, the city of Silver Ring outside the porthole looked like the rotten skeleton of a giant beast. The gray towers and castles in the central district stood like a forest of bone spurs, while the low buildings in the distant lower district looked like rotten fur.

The black falcon silently entered its predetermined orbit, and Lynn withdrew his gaze and activated autopilot.

Lynn actually valued this shuttle far more than he outwardly showed.

For a wizard capable of flight, a means of transportation is not as important as it was in his previous life, but the flying shuttle is more than just a means of transportation.

It's more than just a place to live; it's a mobile home!

Such mobile dwellings are not very useful in today's stable life, but they are extremely useful when Lynn travels long distances.

Daphne went to the window, admiring the entire city of Silver Ring, and suddenly paused, exclaiming in surprise:
"what is that?"

Lynn followed her gaze and looked outside. A law enforcement shuttle was slowly passing by the two of them, and wanted posters were scrolling across the gray-blue exterior wall.

Name: Baldr Iverson. Status: Level 3 member of the Black Moon Exploration Association, First-Tier Intermediate Wizard. Crime: Stealing assets from the Black Moon Ruins belonging to Silver Ring Academy.

Name: Phoenix Booker. Status: Level 4 member of the Black Moon Exploration Association, First-Tier High-Level Wizard. Crime: Stealing from…

"Name: Joyce Márquez..."

"..."

One after another, half-body portraits and simple information flashed by, like a beam of cold light suddenly shining on Lynn and Daphne.

A chill crept up from their feet, and the two stood frozen by the window, their faces grim.

zizi——

The flight control announcement that had been activated in the shuttle also started playing at this moment:
"An urgent announcement from the Silver Ring: a wanted notice for members of the Black Moon Exploration Association. The list is below. You can click on the names to view more information such as appearance and strength."

The broadcast then announced the names one by one, and Lynn and Daphne turned around and listened quietly.

After a long while, the broadcast ended.

The two exchanged a glance and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, we weren't on the list." Daphne patted her chest, still somewhat shaken.

In that brief moment, she had already rehearsed in her mind how to escape Silver Ring Academy with Lynn!
"Hmm." Lynn nodded, feeling quite relieved. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It seems that the higher-ups of the Exploration Association have not yet been captured by the Academy. The Academy does not yet know the complete list of the Association's members."

"I hope they will never be caught by the Academy," Daphne sincerely wished.

Lynn didn't speak, but simply watched the law enforcement shuttle gradually disappear into the distance in another direction.

After a long pause, he turned around and asked, "Don't you think that Silver Ring Academy's crackdown on Black Moon Exploration Association members is a bit too aggressive, far exceeding my expectations?"

Daphne nodded in agreement, raising an eyebrow. "Could it be that the Exploration Association's operation was truly successful? Did they really obtain something from that Black Moon Ruins?"

“That is indeed possible.” Lynn nodded, then shook his head. “But I always feel that if the Exploration Association really gained some kind of significant benefit, the Academy’s search efforts would be much more extensive.”

"After all, that is the legacy of the Black Moon."

"Perhaps the Exploration Association benefited, but not by much?"

"Perhaps." Lynn sighed, still feeling that things weren't so simple.

Objectively speaking, it's difficult for Silver Ring Academy to determine the exact extent of the benefits received by the Exploration Society. If any wizards in the Exploration Society were to gain any benefits, it would undoubtedly be the higher-ups, and currently, Silver Ring Academy likely hasn't captured any of the Exploration Society's higher-ups. Therefore, relying solely on snippets of information from other ordinary members makes it difficult to ascertain the true extent of the benefits received by the Exploration Society's higher-ups.

Of course, it's also possible that although Silver Ring Academy didn't obtain specific information, its strength made it indifferent to whether the pursuit was worthwhile.

It doesn't matter if the exploration association doesn't gain any valuable benefits; it would be even better if they obtained some rare inheritance.

"Faced with the behemoth that is the Academy, let alone us wizards, even the Exploration Association has no power to resist."

Daphne gazed out the window and couldn't help but sigh.

With the academy making the Exploration Association's arrest warrants public, members of the Black Moon Exploration Association will be coveted by others throughout the entire Silver Ring Academy's sphere of influence.

There's an undercurrent of tension.

……

……

"So it turns out that 'Floating' underwent such a transformation before becoming part of the core runes of the second generation of the Traceless series."

In the meditation room, Lynn carefully held a small, black-gold, constantly pulsating energy ball for a final test.

He carefully compared this cluster of "sub-runes" with the "floating" rune extracted from the core rune of the second generation of the Wuji.

After comparing the samples for a full ten minutes and confirming that everything was correct, Lynn's face lit up with a smile. He straightened up, took a long breath, and his eyes were full of excitement.

After many days, he finally took another step forward in his research on the Black Moon Rune!
Although this step is not significant, and there is still a long way to go before fully understanding the Black Moon Rune, it is still a breakthrough.

Next, Lynn only needs to repeat the current steps—first, extract the Black Moon script from the runes, and then study how the corresponding Black Moon script transforms into the extracted Black Moon script—to gradually figure out the core runes of the second generation of the Untraceable.

It can even summarize some general knowledge about the Black Moon rune!

Thinking of this, Lynn felt full of energy and picked up the disassembled Wuji II to activate the Insight of Truth.

The Black Moon Rune was far more difficult than Lynn had imagined, even more difficult than the Black Moon Spirit Body.

It is only because Lynn has a talent for understanding principles that he has achieved this level of progress. Otherwise, if he had buried himself in research, it would have taken him many years to make the progress he has today.

There is even a high probability that it will be a waste of time without any progress.

After all, Lynn had been overlooking one thing—

Although Black Moon relics are rare, they are not too difficult for high-level wizards to obtain with a little effort.

While masters of witchcraft arrays are rare, Silver Ring Academy has at least several dozen.

Therefore, over the long course of time, someone must have studied the Black Moon relics, but no results have appeared on the market yet.

This is partly due to the obstacle of the Black Moon script, but it also proves the difficulty of this knowledge.

I hope the final result won't disappoint me.

Before fully immersing himself, Lynn glanced at the dwindling secondary hybrid energy remaining on the Vision Light Screen and murmured to himself.
