The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 59: Many Helpers
Although Moria had expected this result, he couldn't help laughing when he saw that Lin En had successfully repaired the magic circle.

He walked up, patted Lynn on the shoulder and said:

"Congratulations, Lin En. From today on, you are a second-class member of the Golden Shadow Society."

As if remembering something, Moria waved his hand gently.

The vines that had bound Faruga for half a day finally loosened.

He fell down with weak legs and feet, and without thinking too much, he staggered towards Moria and said in a hurried tone:
"Sir Moria, I have realized my mistake. I am willing to bear all the losses of the association and accept the punishment of the association."

Moria turned his head, looked at him playfully, and said:
"Are you sure you want to accept the punishment of the association?"

Faruga's heart sank, realizing that the association's punishment this time might not be that simple.

His brain raced, and he quickly added:
"Mr. Moria, I have realized my own stupidity. From now on, I am willing to work with Mr. Lin En to manage the association's witch formation.

"Now the association finally has two apprentices who know how to use witchcraft arrays. From now on, we are no longer inferior to the Blood Mark and Snake Associations in this regard. This is a great thing!"

Moriah did not answer.

Farruga looked at Lin En hurriedly again and said sincerely:

"Mr. Lin En, can you let me talk to you alone?"

Lynn stared at him, silent.

He did not forget that if the society did not realize that the accident was caused by Faruga.

Then Adeline would certainly die, and he would face a large amount of compensation, and might even be expelled from the association.

How could he let go of this kind of hatred so easily?

"That's enough, Farruga. Stop struggling in vain."

Moriah spoke at the right time.

From the perspective of the association, having two apprentices who understand witchcraft is indeed a good thing.

But Moriah, apart from being a member of the society, is also a loyal subordinate of the adult behind him.

And that adult did not like Faruja's past behavior.

Farruga still wanted to struggle. He looked at Lin En with pleading eyes:

"Mr. Lin, can we talk alone? The maintenance of the witch formation has many benefits that you don't know..."

pat.

Before Faruja could finish his words, he suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from the ground under his feet.

A badge of the Golden Shadow Society fell to the ground, trembling slightly.

The voice of young Ide came slowly:
"Mr. Moria, I would like to apply for a duel with the second-class member Faruga, and I hope you can be a witness."

Throwing down the badge that represents one's identity and initiating a duel is an ancient custom in wizard civilization.

Usually occurs between members of the same faction.

The rules are pretty much the same.

For example, a stronger person is needed to provide fair witness.

Or maybe, after acceptance, it will only end when one party dies...

Anyway, when Farruga saw the badge on the sole of his foot, he was obviously shocked.

He glared at Ide and lowered his voice in confusion:

"What are you doing, Id?"

"13 times. Ever since the Red Moon Tower's witch formation was damaged, I have begged you 13 times in total. I offered you magic stones every time. But no matter how much I begged, you just told me to wait every time..."

Ide looked at Faruga's embarrassed appearance, and felt very happy. He looked at Moria and continued,

"Sir Moria, can you be a witness to our duel?"

Moria raised his eyebrows and nodded:
"of course can."

Farruga finally realized that Ide was serious. His expression changed and he admitted his mistake decisively:

"I refuse this duel, and I am willing to compensate Ide."

According to tradition, when the challenger is weaker in strength and status than the challenged,

The challenged person can either accept the challenge or pay a certain price.

For example, someone like Farruga chose to pay compensation.

Only in certain special circumstances can a request be refused without paying any price.

Although Faruga and Ide are both third-class wizard apprentices, Faruga is a second-class member, so the same rule applies to him.

Lin En felt a little regretful. If Faruga agreed to Ide's duel and died here at the same time, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for him.

Moria smacked his lips, feeling a little sorry. Anyway, this farce finally came to an end.

Lin En originally thought that Farruga would simply be demoted to a third-class member and transferred elsewhere.

However, during the investigation of the association, Farruga was found to have committed crimes such as embezzling the association's supplies.

As a result of the combined effects of multiple charges, not only was all of Farruga's property taken away by the association, but he was also expelled from the association, signed a debt contract, and became a wild wizard.

It is worth mentioning that the wizard array maintenance worker named Bano was also transferred elsewhere by Moria on the grounds that his professional ability was not up to standard.

As for Lin En, he was successfully promoted to the second-class member of the Golden Shadow Society.

We also succeeded in exempting this year’s autumn hunting from compulsory labor.

At the same time, the monthly salary increased by 5 primary magic stones to 10 primary magic stones per month.

However, other than that, not much has changed.

For example, as for housing, since the house he chose at the beginning was a property that only second-class members could choose, he still lived in the original place.

A week passed like this.

Early that morning, Lin En received Ide, a third-class member, who came to visit him in his study.

"Good morning, Lord Ide, are you having any problems with the witch formation?"

Lynn inquired.

These days, in accordance with the agreement with the association, he would take out one or two hours every day to teach the other two wizard array maintenance personnel wizard array knowledge.

The other old man, Fulan, was too old, so even though he did not hide his knowledge and taught patiently, it was still difficult for him to learn.

In comparison, although Ide in front of him is of average talent, he is still much stronger than Fulan.

Ide shook his head slightly, just holding the tea on the table and looking at Lin En.

After a while, he suddenly said:

"I stole a book about witchcraft arrays from someone and wanted to give it to you. I hope you can give me some pointers after you learn it."

After saying that, Ide took out a brown box the size of an egg, which was faintly stained with blood and made of unknown material, from the package he was carrying and handed it to Lynn.

For some reason, as Lin En watched Ide hand over the blood-stained brown box, he suddenly thought of Faruga who was expelled from the society.

As he took the brown box, he said indirectly:

"Come to think of it, I haven't heard from Farruga for a long time... I don't know where he is now?"

Ide glanced at him, smiled and said, "Who knows, but I have a feeling we may never hear from Farruga again."

Lin En immediately understood and said with a smile:
"That's a good thing."

As if remembering something, Ide took out another palm-sized wooden box and handed it to Lin En.

He opened the lid of the box and inside was a silver bracelet.

“This is a cheap wizard tool I happened to see in the market yesterday, the Silver Wrist Sword.

"It is made of some kind of malleable metal. It instantly transforms into a long sword with constant solidity and sharpness."

Lin En was startled and declined:
"This is too expensive, Ide."

In fact, after Lin En began to teach the knowledge of witchcraft without reservation, both Ide and the old man Fulan would give him gifts from time to time to express their gratitude.

In some ways, their spending is actually not much less than when Farruga was here.

But the essence behind this is completely different.

"Take it, Lord Lin En. After all, it's just a wizard tool that can be transformed into a sword. It's not expensive." Ide insisted.

Lin En refused a few more times, but seeing that he couldn't refuse, he had no choice but to accept it.

"I wonder what Faruja would think when he sees this..."

Shaking his head, Lin En picked up the Silver Wrist Sword and tried it at Ide's reminder.

Use mental power to activate magic tools.

After a barely perceptible sound, the silver bracelet suddenly turned into a straight sword!

Lynn tried to wave it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is much better than the ordinary fine steel sword he has been using!
Ide's gift was just perfect.

The one-meter-long sword in the past was made of just average material and was inconvenient to carry, but these problems have now been solved by the silver wrist sword in his hand!

Putting away the silver wrist sword, Lin En continued to look at the blood-stained brown box in his hand.

At this time, Lin En saw a line of neat black words engraved in Guen language:
"Detailed Construction of the Second Module of the 'Black Moon' Wizard Tower, 'The Moon is Hidden in the Clouds' (Part 1)".
