The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 227 Zijun and the Beginning

Central Square, the headquarters of the Horsens School.

The gray-black shuttle was quietly moored, like a beast lying in wait.

At the bottom of the cabin, Lynn floated in mid-air, holding various materials in his hand, putting the finishing touches on his latest idea.

A moment later, the glow of the magic dimmed, allowing onlookers to see the whole picture. Inside the disassembled shuttle cabin, there were two disc-shaped, gray-black objects, thin at the edges and thick in the middle, resembling flattened steamed buns.

"Lia, you can take a test flight now," Lynn telepathically transmitted to the female apprentice in the flying shuttle.

"Ok."

As Leah responded, a silvery-white light suddenly shone from the center of the disc in the lower deck, emitting a short buzzing sound. The light then dissipated, the buzzing ceased, and the disc silently detached from the shuttle's lower deck, hovering beside Lynn.

"How is it, Leah?" Lynn asked as he flew toward the cockpit.

“Everything seems normal. The images transmitted back by ‘Falcon 1’ are very clear, and there’s no lag when controlling it like before,” Leah replied.

By the time she finished speaking, Lynn had already entered the cockpit.

The crystal projector on the control panel is displaying live footage observed by Falcon 1.

Lynn walked toward the cockpit, and Leah quickly moved aside so he could see better.

'At close range, there's almost no latency in image transmission, which is good.'

After maneuvering Falcon No. 1 and No. 2 around the entire Silver Ring Garrison of Horsens Academy several times and carefully observing the area, Lynn revealed a satisfied smile.

'However, the effective distance for direct transmission is at most twenty kilometers, and that's only in open areas. I wonder if the effect will still be so good once we switch to the Silver Ring Communication Array relay at a longer distance... But as long as it reaches 80%, it's perfectly acceptable.'

It has been a week since Lynn returned to the Black Falcon.

During this week, Lynn spent most of his time engrossed in the study of the Black Moon Runes, and as he continued to delve into the principles, his skill in witchcraft arrays also improved.

Yesterday, he even broke through the first stage of perfection and touched the threshold of the second stage!

For this reason, when Lynn looked at the Black Falcon again, many new ideas naturally popped into his mind. He also felt that some of the parts he was originally satisfied with were flawed, and he couldn't help but want to modify them.

The newly added Falcon module is Lynn's latest idea.

The main function of the Falcon module is reconnaissance, making it essentially the Black Falcon's most loyal sentinel.

It can scout out the situation ahead for Lynn in advance, and the Black Falcon is 15 meters long, a real behemoth, which makes it somewhat inconvenient to enter and exit some narrow places.

The smaller falcon, less than two meters in size, perfectly compensates for this shortcoming of the Black Falcon.

In addition, Lynn installed self-destruct modules on both Falcons, with a power equivalent to a powerful first-level high-level sorcery. Given the Falcons' mobility, even a first-level high-level wizard would likely be in serious trouble if they encountered them.

"Thank you for testing it for me, Leah." Lynn thanked the female apprentice beside him as he piloted the two falcons back into the cabin.

"You're welcome. It's my pleasure to help you, Lord Lynn!" Leah replied energetically.

“Just call me senior.” Lynn smiled and flew back to the bottom of the shuttle to install the last falcon hatch.

“Okay, Senior Lynn.” Leah followed behind and asked, “Are you going to today’s discussion later?”

“That makes sense, it’s time for another discussion today… no wonder you came to the academy’s headquarters.” Lynn said suddenly, then thought for a moment and said, “Go ahead, I should go and take a look.”

The research on the Black Moon Rune has been exhausting lately. Lynn discovered that simply increasing the duration doesn't improve efficiency; in fact, it reduces it. That's why he came to modify the Black Falcon and give it a fresh start.

Since we're already here, why not join a discussion?

“That’s great, I just happen to have some questions about meditation that I’d like to ask you for help.” “Hmm… actually, you don’t have to wait until the seminar, Leah. You can just message me with simple questions, and I’ll reply when I have time.”

"Okay, senior!"

……

In the lecture hall, the Golden Thorn apprentices sat quietly.

Jin Jiwei stood at the front, holding the issues he had just collected, and announced them one by one, letting the apprentices vote.

Neither Lynn nor Samuel came back after the discussion was scheduled.

But this meeting, which was not mandatory to attend, did not gradually become deserted; on the contrary, it became more and more popular.

The Golden Thorn apprentices not only maintained an almost 100% attendance rate, but also spontaneously improved the discussion group and formulated many new rules.

For example, rotating meeting chairpersons, voting on agenda items, etc.

This vibrant scene moved Lynn, who was standing outside the window, so much that she stopped in her tracks, unwilling to interrupt the apprentices' process.

However, the host, Jin Jiwei, saw him, paused slightly, and was about to invite him in when Lynn quickly waved his hand, signaling him to continue.

“Ahem… The next topic is also related to the Black Moon Ruins. The topic is—” Vic coughed lightly and continued to chair the meeting, “What kind of organization is the Black Moon Exploration Association, the biggest victim after the appearance of the Black Moon Ruins?”

Lynn's expression remained unchanged; he simply continued to listen silently.

During this period, with Silver Ring Academy issuing numerous arrest warrants for members of the Exploration Association, the Black Moon Exploration Association has become a well-known entity throughout Silver Ring City.

Discussions about the Exploration Association are rampant, and covetous and spying eyes are constantly watching.

A few minutes later, Vic finished reading all the topics and finally chose the three topics with the most votes to announce:

"Three themes have been determined for this discussion. The first is 'Information Sharing from Black Moon Academy.'"

"The second question is, 'Will Silver Ring Academy make the Black Moon Ruins public?'"

The third question is, 'What exactly is the Black Moon Exploration Association?'

After saying this, Vic went to the door and opened it for Lynn.

"Lord Lynn!"

Good morning, Mr. Lynn!

Some of the slower-witted apprentices only then noticed Lynn's arrival, and then a chorus of warm greetings rang out.

Lynn raised his hand in a gesture of apology and smiled, "You can proceed as usual. I just came to take a look."

After saying that, he gestured for Daphne to sit down, and then went to sit in the last row himself.

"Regarding the first topic, would any student like to speak first?" Vic continued, speaking loudly.

"I!"

"I come!"

Perhaps because of Lynn's arrival, the apprentices were all very enthusiastic.

However, Vic was cunning. He glanced around, then suddenly looked at Lynn and respectfully asked:
"Mr. Lynn, why don't you take the lead?"
