The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 56 Old Enemy
"Amber or ordinary crystal stores magic energy, black gold is used to carve the structure... The main body can be made of any metal you like, with silver being the best..."

In the study, Lynn was quietly compiling the list of materials needed to make the Dulan Defense Ring.

After a rough calculation, he came up with an approximate cost: 20-25 primary magic stones.

Compared with the medium strength of the 0 ring, and its characteristics of being able to be charged for a long time and instantly released, the cost is not expensive at all, and can even be said to be extremely cheap.

"I don't know how much the magic tools that can achieve this effect cost on the market." Lin En put away the list and thought silently.

Although he has now officially started learning the subject of witchcraft arrays, he still needs a long time of study to make such a ring.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

At this time, accompanied by a knock on the door, Carter's voice came from outside:

"Master, Jigos has arrived."

"Let him in." Lynn replied.

After a while, the study door opened and Jigos, who looked obviously different, walked in.

After the extraordinary transformation, the boy is still tall and thin, but his brown hair has turned into dark green, and his personality is no longer as impatient as before, but has become gentle and steady.

The extraordinary transformation performed by Jigos is the most common bloodline transformation.

The blood used came from some kind of tree demon. The second-class apprentice did not specify which tree demon it was, but the apprentice from the Golden Shadow Society usually made money by blood transformation and was well-known, so Jigos was not worried.

In addition to giving Jigos dark green hair and a more stable temperament after the transformation, the tree demon also gave him a theoretical lifespan of 130 years, powerful self-healing ability, and a witchcraft strength equivalent to the lower level of the 0 ring, which is the innate ability to control vines.

"Boss, this is this month's account book. The total profit is 28 primary magic stones."

"28 primary magic stones?" Lin En was a little surprised. "Wasn't there only 12 primary magic stones last month? How come this month is more than double that?"

"Because this month, I finally found the people who used to work for Cosey, and based on the information they provided, I discovered several new temporary needs."

Gigos answered, and added,
"I remember asking Maid Carter to report this to you before..."

Lin En frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "It seems that there is such a thing."

During this period of time, he was obsessed with studying the witchcraft array and had no energy to pay attention to other things.

"Well done, Gigos." Lynn couldn't help but praise him, feeling excited.

With the magic stones that Jigos brought now, plus last month's income and the salary from the association, his assets now once again exceeded the mark of 30 primary magic stones.

'It seems that it is time to choose a magic tool for myself... After choosing, I will go to the association library to apply for the magic array knowledge assessment.

"Anyway, the restrictions set by Farruga have been completely broken, so we won't go to Cuiman Restaurant today."

Thinking of this, Lin En stood up decisively and asked Jigos:
"Where are you going next? I'm planning to go to Redthorn Street. I can give you a ride if it's on the way."

"On my way, I'm going to the Black Alley Market." Jigos replied.

……

The two of them got into Lynn's carriage together.

inside the carriage.

Jigos felt a little dazed as he looked at Lin En, who was wearing a wizard robe and resting with his eyes closed in front of him.

After a while, he suddenly said, "Once I pay off my school's debts, I plan to move to the Mortal Kingdom."

Lin En opened his eyes, feeling somewhat surprised, and after a pause asked:
"If you have any questions about meditation, you can ask me. I will help you as long as I am free."

Gigos shook his head and said, “That’s not what I meant.

"I just... don't plan to continue climbing the path of a wizard."

His expression was exceptionally calm, like a calm pond on an autumn day.

Lin En was silent, recalling the time when Jigos first came down the mountain and roared unwillingly outside the school's base.

Said that he would become a wizard's apprentice one day. Now...

Nodding silently, Lynn said:
"It's not bad to go to the Mortal Kingdom. Although the magic energy there is thin, there are fewer dangers... With the extraordinary power you have now, you should be able to live a comfortable life."

Jigos nodded slightly, with some expectation in his eyes, but he also promised:

"Before that day comes, I will find a good successor to your business."

But Lin En shook his head gently: “No, I don’t trust others.

"Besides, when that day comes, I'm afraid I won't need this business anymore."

Jigos was slightly stunned, and there was still some envy and loneliness in his eyes when he looked at Lin En. He took a deep breath and blessed:

"May you proceed smoothly on the path of wizards until the end of truth!"

"Until the end of truth." Lynn nodded in thanks.

At this moment, the carriage they were riding in suddenly stopped.

"Master Lin En..." The groom's slightly panicked voice came from the front.

"what happened?"

Lynn frowned and pulled down the front window.

Looking over the coachman's shoulder, he could see a black carriage engraved with the Bloodmark Society's emblem blocking the way ahead.

"Lynn Kent?"

The side window of the black carriage was gently pulled down, and a man with thin lips and a hooked nose looked over.

There were intricate blood-red lines on his exposed neck.

"I wonder why you stopped me?" Lin En asked in a deep voice.

When Jigos saw the man's face, his pupils suddenly shrank and his whole body began to tremble.

"You don't know me?" the man whispered, then smiled coldly.
"You must know Russo Max. He is my closest friend."

"Your Excellency may have some misunderstandings about me. The school guards came to me that day just to ask about the Green Shadow incident. I did not..."

Without giving Lin En a chance to explain, the man snorted coldly.
"The autumn hunt is coming soon. I am looking forward to the day when I will see you in the Green Shadow Forest."

Then the man rolled down the side window, and the black carriage continued to move forward, soon disappearing around the corner.

Lynn told the groom to keep going, his face very gloomy.

After Landry reminded him that day that he might be misunderstood by the Bloodmark Society, he took the initiative to participate in several gatherings and spread the information that he did not guide the Guard Office.

I thought this was enough to solve the problem, but now it seems that some people still suspect that he took the initiative to guide the guards, resulting in the killing of the second-class member of the Blood Mark Society named Russo...

Lin En couldn't help but wonder what happened that night that made the man believe that he was the one who led the guards.

Or maybe it's all just an excuse.

After all, the Blood Mark Society and the Golden Shadow Society don't get along well with each other, so it's entirely possible that they are taking advantage of the situation.

In this way, the Blood Mark Society can not only define this as a conspiracy of the Golden Shadow Society, occupying a high moral ground, but also avoid conflict with the school and dilute the negative impact of this matter...

Lin En's mind was full of thoughts. Finally, he sighed and raised his head. At this time, he finally noticed that something was wrong with Jigos.

"What's wrong, Gigos?"

This is the flaw of White Crow Swordsmanship, it only greatly improves agility and burst, but does not improve other aspects like the five senses.

Cold sweat broke out on Jigos's forehead. He took a deep breath and murmured:
“Somlei, the wizard apprentice just now was called Somlei… Do you remember when we pooled money to transform him?

"He is the second-class wizard apprentice who was transformed by Leona, Somlai."
