The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 70 Unknown Red Ball
Somle Residence.

Swish!
As the silver sword light flashed.

In the living room, the butler who was waiting for Somle to return also followed in his master's footsteps and died quietly.

Lin En emerged from the darkness and called out to those behind him:

"Keep quiet and search quickly. We will leave in the evening."

After Somle's death, there was nothing in his residence that could stop the three of them from invading.

However, to be on the safe side, Lynn chose to invade secretly.

The housekeeper just now is the last obstacle in this house, and now it’s time to search!
The three of them discussed the places to search, and Lin En walked towards Somle's meditation room.

As soon as he opened the door, he frowned deeply.

It was bloody inside, with human bones piled up in the corners and several pools of blood.

In other words, the human bone bed in the center has the ability to absorb flesh and blood and store blood, otherwise the meditation room would definitely be stinking.

After searching around, Lynn easily found a locked storage cabinet in the corner.

The storage cabinet is made entirely of metal, and a reinforcement magic array is engraved on the surface.

But this could not stop Lin En. After studying it carefully for a while, he discovered the weak point of the witch formation. Then he used the White Crow Sword Technique and successfully opened it with a few strikes.

The locker has three layers in total. The first layer has a large number of primary magic stones. Without counting carefully, you can tell that there are at least hundreds of them.

The second layer contains 8 intermediate magic stones that are darker in color and slightly larger in appearance!

As for the third layer, it is an unknown reddish sphere with a smooth surface and soft texture, and its material cannot be seen.

Without thinking too much, Lynn put all the things into the backpack behind him and continued to search the rest of the place.

About half an hour later, Somle's residence was completely searched by them.

Before leaving, Maldo and Jigos took the initiative to hand over all the looted items to Lin En for distribution.

Lin En was not polite and took 80% of it, and the remaining 20% ​​was divided equally between Maldo and Gigos.

Just a rough calculation shows that Lin En also got nearly 300 primary magic stones.

A veteran second-class apprentice, he is indeed wealthy!

Night falls quickly.

Under the cover of night, the three men left the Somle residence.

Mardo said goodbye to them and left alone.

Lynn and Gigos went to the shantytown again.

In a mass grave on the west side, the two found the graves of Ant and Leona.

After Leona's death, Gigos buried her here.

Later, Ant died, and Gigos and Lynn buried him here.

"Leona, Somle is dead..."

Gigos stood in front of the tomb and whispered, his voice like the autumn breeze.

Looking at the grave of his former best friend, he said a lot.

Lin En stood aside, his black wizard robe fluttering in the autumn wind.

He didn't say anything, his eyes slightly absent-minded as he stared at the grave, his thoughts gradually drifting away in the sound of Jigos's words.

As summer goes and autumn comes, time always flies by without us noticing.

Fortunately... he did not let himself down.

After a long time, Jigos finished expressing his emotions. He looked back at Lin En with emotion.

"I'm planning to go to the school's base. Do you want to come with me, Jigos?" Lin En asked, and added,
"I plan to exchange for the school's subsequent meditation method, and by the way, I'll go and ask you about the one-time debt repayment.

"The money you have now is enough to pay off your debts in one go, right?"

"That's enough," Gigos replied.

Lin En nodded and sighed:

"It's a pity that due to the war at the Black Rose School, the traffic to the outside world of Cuilin City has not been restored yet. If you want to go to the Mortal Kingdom, you will probably have to wait for a while."

Cuilin City is located deep in the Cuiying Forest. Even if you take an airship, it usually takes half a month to get out of the forest.

If there is no suitable vehicle, the time will at least be several times longer.

The journey was filled with dangers, and even a first-class wizard apprentice could not guarantee that he would be able to leave safely. At least five first-class apprentices were needed to leave the Green Shadow Forest safely.

"It's okay, boss. I didn't want to leave so soon... Now that Somle is dead, it's time to restart the white shadow mushroom business." Jigos said.

Lin En thought about it, but shook his head slightly:
"There is no rush for the White Shadow Mushroom business. Let's wait for a while until after this year's autumn hunt."

Jigos nodded without objection.

Tomorrow is the day when the autumn hunt sets out, and the entire autumn hunt lasts for 5 days...so, we only need to wait five more days.

The two then came to the school's base.

……

It was only when Lin En arrived at the base that he realized he had missed the time.

The apprentice in charge of exchanging meditation methods has already gone off work, so he can only come back early tomorrow morning.

However, there is good news about Gigos.

Half a month ago, the school actually issued more detailed regulations on eliminating apprentices.

Not only can you now repay the loan in one lump sum in advance, but we have also added a new service similar to "employment guidance" to guide apprentices to make money.

While Jigos was delighted, he also felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but lament that his group of apprentices had not been lucky enough to encounter a good time.

……

The night was dark.

Lynn returned to her home on Bluebridge Street.

Maid Carter was still awake, awaiting his return.

Adeline was also awake, sitting on the sofa reading a book. When she saw Lin En coming back, she stood up and greeted him respectfully.

As for why this girl with heterochromatic eyes is here, it is mainly for safety reasons.

On that day, Somle came to threaten, and the Golden Shadow Society simply regarded it as a personal grudge.

Lynn reminded Adeline that it would be better for her to live with her uncle during this period, so as to prevent Somley from hating her and doing something to her.

After he emphasized the possible danger, Adeline did not hesitate and went back to find her uncle Landry.

But... Landry rejected Adeline on the grounds that it was inconvenient.

Her aunt didn't seem to say anything, but instead thought she was making a fuss and causing trouble for herself.

Lynn discovered this, and after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to let Carter invite Adeline to stay with her temporarily.

After the threat on his birthday that day, he had deeply realized Somle's crazy character... He didn't want Adeline to die because of his negligence.

Adeline also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she accepted Lynn's kindness without much hesitation.

"Are you getting used to living here, Adeline?" Lynn asked.

Adeline nodded with a smile on her face, but there was still a trace of imperceptible worry and annoyance in her eyes.

However, she was not blaming Lynn for what happened with Somle, or regretting being too close to Lynn.

When Adeline was little, she was teased maliciously and ended up breaking the belongings of a third-class wizard apprentice.

At that time, little Adeline was so scared that she even thought her mother would abandon her.

But her mother didn't even blame her. She just took the consequences with her and finally took the life of the prankster.

Adeline could no longer remember many of the details of the incident.

But she remembered her mother's words:

"Those who are weak and mean at heart always like to vent their anger on those close to them, but they are afraid of the real culprit... Adeline, don't be such a person."

Adeline didn’t become that person.

So she was just thinking about how to help herself and Lynn get through this difficult time.

Unfortunately, her power was weak and she couldn't think of any way to break the impasse.

That's why I'm worried.

Lynn didn't explain too much. He just comforted Adeline with a normal expression and went to the meditation room.

Somle is dead.

It won't be long before Adeline finds out.
