The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 44 Can't Go Back

"Yes...you are?" Lynn asked politely.

"Call me Senior..." the middle-aged man yelled, taking a bottle of wine from his waist and throwing it to Lin En, "A gift for you... Remember to call me Senior Martin."

Martin glanced at the empty hall and shook his head:

"It seems that I am late, but it doesn't matter. Come on, junior! Senior will take you to the Red Oriole Tavern to have some fun."

Lin En also roughly understood the identity of the visitor.

Blue had told him before that there were two members in the Golden Shadow Society who had the same status as him, both of whom were prospective apprentices who had been eliminated from the school.

Now it seems that Martin in front of him is one of them.

“Martin…Senior.” Lin En thought for a moment and said, “Thank you for your invitation and gift, but it’s getting late now, and I still have to go to the association library to buy witchcraft.

"At the same time, I have been studying witchcraft recently, so I may not have much time to relax."

Martin frowned, glanced at him, and muttered:
"Boring, another idiot like Lucas... He's been kicked out of the school, but he still doesn't know what kind of person he is... Boring, really boring!"

Lin En smiled without saying anything, and just continued:
"If there's nothing else, I'll just..."

"Wait, considering the time, you live in the ninth preparatory apprentice dormitory area?" Martin suddenly asked again.

"That's right." Lynn nodded slightly.

"I came down the mountain 18 years ago, just two rounds earlier than you." Martin drank a sip of wine, sat on the wooden table at the door, and asked casually,

"Is the tall silverthorn tree in the center of the dormitory area still there?"

"Still."

"Have you ever climbed up there?"

"No." Lin En thought about it carefully and shook his head, "The instructor has expressly forbidden climbing trees."

Martin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter:

"It's probably because of the incident when Lucas almost fell to his death while climbing a tree that the school added a new rule!"

He laughed for a long time, until tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
“Unfortunately, you didn’t climb up, so you can’t see the names we carved on it.

"It's been 18 years... I don't know if those traces are still there."

After taking a big gulp of wine, Martin stood up drunkenly, staggered out, and soon disappeared.

All in all, he hasn't returned to his childhood house for 18 years.

After all, there's no going back.

……

……

"Here is a detailed list of library knowledge that third-class members can exchange for. Please take a look."

The Golden Shadow Society headquarters, underground floor.

Lin En took the crystal of knowledge from the wizard apprentice at the front desk and placed it on his forehead.

Now that the induction ceremony has ended, he has officially obtained the third-class member badge, which also means that he can come to the Golden Shadow Society's library to purchase knowledge.

This matter was so important that Lynn came here right after his initiation ceremony.

He is now only at the level of a third-class apprentice, but has not mastered any witchcraft. This is obviously not good enough.

"I currently have the White Crow Sword Skill for close combat, but what I lack most is long-range attack magic, followed by body movement magic..."

With this goal in mind, Lin En quickly found several suitable targets.

There were not many choices of body movement witchcraft at the third-level apprentice stage. After weighing the pros and cons, Lin En chose a witchcraft called "Secondary Tailwind Spell".

Tailwind magic is a classic witchcraft, and its shadow can be seen in many flying witchcrafts.

The main effect is to greatly reduce air resistance, making one's movements faster.

Of course, due to his realm, Lin En could only use its weakened version, 'Secondary Tailwind'.

As for the price, it is 12 primary magic stones.

Compared with body movement witchcraft, the choices of long-range attack witchcraft are much richer.

Considering the existence of the White Crow Magic Group, Lin En originally wanted to choose witchcraft that tends to control airflow as much as possible.

However, witchcraft related to airflow or water flow is more suitable for auxiliary use. With the same complexity and the same magic power consumption, its power is relatively weaker.

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Lin En finally chose the most versatile and the first choice of offensive magic for most third-rate wizard apprentices - "Secondary Fireball".

The price of this witchcraft is 15 primary magic stones.

"It's like going back to the time before liberation overnight."

After purchasing the school of meditation, all his assets were only about 30 primary magic stones left. Now, just to buy these two witchcrafts, he had to spend 27 primary magic stones... "I still have to work hard to make money."

Lin En shook his head, suddenly remembered something, and looked at how much it cost to buy the Golden Shadow Society's meditation method.

The Golden Shadow Society offers five types of meditation methods for apprentices, but only two of them have the parts for subsequent formal wizards. The cheapest one, called the Circle Meditation Method, costs 650 primary magic stones.

In contrast, he only needed 260 primary magic stones to purchase the Horsens Apprentice Meditation Method at the school.

Still, the school is worth it...

Lin En shook his head, but then he thought that if he stayed in the mountains, the subsequent meditation method would be free of charge, and he suddenly felt depressed.

He took another look at the basic knowledge of witchcraft formations.

The price of complete basic knowledge is 500 primary magic stones...

The corners of Lin En's mouth curled up slightly. Although he didn't know how much knowledge the association provided him, since it could give people the ability to maintain the witch formation, it should be worth at least 300 primary magic stones.

Without looking any further, Lynn paid the magic stone and turned back home.

I'm looking forward to getting it for free the day after tomorrow... ahem, work.

……

……

No. 74, Lanqiao Street, in the study.

"…There are 278 gifts for third-class members and 3 gifts for second-class members. The lists have been sorted out. Please review them, Master."

Carter handed the list to Lynn with both hands and said respectfully.

"Well... just call me Lynn, Carter." Lynn took the list and said casually.

"I'm sorry, Master. It was the past, but now that I'm your maid, I have to follow a lot of rules."

Carter stood straight in front of Lynn, her silver hair combed neatly and she was wearing a proper maid outfit. Behind her stood two young maids who had just been bought.

Lynn paused briefly and nodded slightly, "You're right."

He continued looking at the list Carter had compiled.

The Golden Shadow Society has a large number of members, with hundreds of third-class members alone.

Of course, it was impossible for everyone to attend yesterday's welcome party. Only 7 or 80 people showed up, and the rest just showed up but didn't show up.

However, although there are many gifts, it is customary that most of them are worthless little things, with values ​​ranging from a few silver wolves to dozens of silver wolves, and they are just symbols of goodwill.

However, it is worth mentioning that the gift Franky left behind before leaving was a piece of mental shock witchcraft crystal, which has a market price of about a secondary magic stone and is considered the most valuable gift among the third-class members.

As for the second-class members...

'Moro gave me a bottle of Twin Flower Potion, which has the effect of beautifying the skin and improving star power...

"Joey gave me a bottle of awakening potion, which can remove worries and make the body and mind reach a state of emptiness..."

What are these things... Lin En was speechless and continued to look at the third one.

'Lucas Morn gives the spell "Psychic Shock".'

"Carter, are you sure you remembered this correctly?" Lynn was stunned.

"No, Master. I carefully kept the gift in your drawer."

Lynn opened the drawer and saw a crystal in a wooden box.

It was like a pillow being given to someone when they were sleepy. Lin En's eyes lit up and he felt somewhat fortunate that he didn't have enough magic stones.

You know, mental shock is a magical skill that wizards must learn besides fireball!

Except for some races with strong innate mental resistance, any existence that has not crossed the extraordinary barrier will not have much resistance when facing this witchcraft.

Take the White Crow Swordsmanship for example. Even if the person being attacked has practiced the White Crow Swordsmanship to the pinnacle, since it is the body that is strengthened more, the spirit is only slightly improved.

Therefore, when facing this witchcraft, they are not much stronger than ordinary people.

At most, it’s just the difference between resisting once and resisting half of it!
'Lucas Moen...' Lin En silently said a few times, 'Lucas...'

This is probably the idiot that Senior Martin mentioned... another eliminated apprentice in the Golden Shadow Society.

Keeping this generous senior in mind, Lynn signaled Carter to step aside.

Gigos came in from outside.

"Everything going well, Gigos?"

Lynn looked at him and asked.
