The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 88 Return to Gunn (11)

"After thirty-five thousand years, I finally waited for the descendants of the academy to arrive!"

The tower spirit room that Lin En entered was not big. In the center of the square space stood a gray-black cylindrical platform. On the platform, a silver-white figure whose gender could not be determined was looking at him excitedly.

Strictly speaking, this is not the main office of the Tower Spirit, but just a management point where one can interact with the Tower Spirit.

Lin En didn't respond for the time being, so as not to reveal his true identity.

He knew that he was not a descendant of the Black Moon Academy, and all this was just a misunderstanding.

If Talling discovered this, his fate would not be much better than Elena's.

Ta Ling did not notice anything unusual, but continued to ask anxiously:
"What happened 35,000 years ago? Why did the academy completely collapse in just a few months? I can't even contact any survivors?
“Also, why didn’t you reveal your identity right from the start… If you had let me know from the beginning that you were a descendant of the Black Moon Academy, I wouldn’t have started the bloody trial.

“You almost died... I thought you couldn’t handle the female apprentice who had merged with the life from another world.

"The power she possesses is so precious and rare that it ranks among the best even in the Black Moon Academy back then!"

As Ta Ling spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand, as if calling for something.

Lynn noticed a slight noise coming from the hall outside.

After a moment, a ray of light flashed on the platform.

A ball of light blue and golden energy appeared, trapped in a spherical cage composed of silver-white light, floating quietly.

"This is the spirit of the life form from another world. Its consciousness has been wiped out. You can try to see if you can absorb and master it."

As the tower spirit finished speaking, the silver-white cage gradually tightened, and the cyan gold energy also continued to shrink.

Finally, the lapis lazuli energy condensed into an amber-like solid, and the silver-white cage also weaved a crescent shape, wrapping and enveloping it.

Ta Ling reached out and added a silver chain to it, forming a crescent pendant, and threw it to Lin En.

Lin En quickly reached out to take it, still a little unresponsive.

"Green Shadow's ability... is it the ability to transform followers?"

“The method of use is very simple, just use mental power to contact it.

“However, due to the purification process, only the pure spirituality remains.

"So the specific effect of mastering the ability and the degree to which you can master it ultimately depends on yourself."

Lin En was delighted: "Thank you, Lord Ta Ling."

"You're welcome. Now answer the question I just asked."

Lin En pondered for a moment and said:
“I don’t know… although my father taught me writing, he didn’t tell me much else.

“He always said the enemy was powerful, but he never said who the enemy was or where the enemy was.

"I learned this language, but I only understood its meaning, but I couldn't pronounce it... We never dared to use this language to communicate."

Ta Ling nodded, and quickly sighed:
"Your father's decision is correct. The enemy is very powerful. The Black Moon Language has a unique magic that not everyone can learn. If you recite it rashly, you will most likely be discovered.

"But how did you find this place and how did you teleport here?"

“Because of an accident… In fact, I didn’t expect to be teleported here.

"I just followed the teachings of my parents and have been living here forever."

Lynn replied, briefly explaining to Taring the war between the Horsense and Holland schools.

Taring thought for a while, as if thinking of something unpleasant, and said gloomily:
"Hosens...I'm afraid he is the descendant of the thief from a thousand years ago!"

Taring soon started laughing again:
“However, the thief’s descendants did a good thing by sending you here.

"See the crystal ball over there, Lynn?"

Lin En moved his gaze and looked at the crystal ball embedded in the center of the platform.

“This is the Tower Spirit Control Center. Now that there is no managing wizard, many of my rights are restricted.

“But with you here who knows the Black Moon Language, there is hope for everything.

“In the coming period, I need you to gradually repair the fortress and obtain sufficient management authority.

"It is calculated that this time will take about 80-130 years.

“Once you have repaired the search module, I will begin trying to find a remote but suitable world, and once the fortress is fully repaired, I will jump over there.

“If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to find a suitable world before you finish repairing the fortress. If I’m unlucky, this process may take hundreds or even thousands of years.

“But it doesn’t matter. You may be dead, but the Black Moon Academy will be revived in that world.

"Do you understand me, Lynn?"

Lynn's heart gradually sank.

"Do you understand, Lin En?" Talling asked again in a deep voice.

Thoughts in his mind turned rapidly, and Lin En said in a deep voice:
"Sir Ta Ling, you may have forgotten that I was teleported here by accident. This means that this fortress is no longer safe and may be discovered by the enemy at any time."

"I have considered this possibility, so what you need to do next is to destroy all the teleportation anchors..."

Before Ta Ling finished speaking, he suddenly frowned, and a red light suddenly lit up at a certain spot on the holographic projection of the Black Moon Fortress behind him.

"what happened?"

"The small teleportation array in the south area has been activated, and a... third-level wizard has been teleported here?!"

"A third-level wizard?" Lin En's tone was a little surprised.

"Damn it, he knows the fortress's defense loopholes. He must be the descendant of that thief." Ta Ling suddenly cursed.

'The descendant of the thief... the wizard Horsens?

'He advanced to become a third-level wizard?!'

The tower spirit's body kept flickering, as if it was controlling something.

Lin En's eyes flickered, and suddenly he said with horror:

"Sir Ta Ling, that might be one of the enemies of the academy. I can't be discovered by him. I have to return to the Gunn World!"

The tower spirit paused for a moment, and a light flashed all over his body. After a moment, he said in a deep voice:

"You have a point. You are the hope of Black Moon Academy. You can't be discovered by him!"

Lin En was slightly happy in his heart, but his face remained panicked.

After Ta Ling finished speaking, his whole body lit up with red light, and alarms continued to be heard from the platform.

After a moment, it said in a deep voice: "Come here, Lin En, I want to teach you the most precious inheritance of Black Moon Academy!"

Lin En's face was slightly stunned and hesitant in his heart, but he knew that he must not show any abnormality at this time. With surprise in his eyes, he stepped forward.

Taring raised his hand, and the soft moonlight shone on Lin En.

The latter tensed up, and gradually some unique knowledge came into his mind——

"Black Moon Spirit Body".

At the same time, a sphere containing the Tower Spirit's clone also fell into Lin En's hands.

“Without a managing wizard, there’s not much I can do.

“The best plan now is for you to return to the Gunn world with my clone.

“I will clean up all traces outside, hide your existence, and finally completely delete this record from the fortress.

"I've marked the route to the nearest teleportation array on the map for you, so go quickly!"

Lin En suppressed his joy and nodded.

Wizard Horsens, you came just in time!

With the guidance of the tower spirit, he soon arrived at the location of the teleportation array.

“To ensure safety, I set the teleportation anchor point to the location you teleported from previously.

"Are you ready to teleport, Lin?" asked the tower spirit clone in his hand.

Lynn nodded.

The next moment, the teleportation array lit up and his figure suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, in the center of the fortress, the tower spirit had used the fortress cleaning module to deal with all traces and chose to restart itself.

The faint light went out and then lit up again, and the figure of the tower spirit reappeared.

It sensed the intruder and an annoyed look appeared on its face.

The wizard leader of Hosens.

The war is over, but the chaos has not stopped.

Flames were burning on the collapsed houses. Some people were fleeing, some were taking advantage of the fire to loot, some were hiding at home, and some were trying to put out the fire.

In the Cuiying Forest on the northeast side of Cuilin City, Lin En's figure appeared out of thin air.

He looked around vigilantly, the pagoda spirit clone in his hand glowed silver, and he said:
"Finally, I'm back to the world of Gunn."

Lin En said nothing. After making sure that there was no one around, he said:
"Sir Ta Ling, I have some questions for you."

"You said."

"Can you still contact the Black Moon Fortress?"

“Of course not, I am an independent tower spirit clone. Strictly speaking, I am two different consciousnesses from the previous tower spirit.

"What's more, the tower spirit of Black Moon Fortress has erased all traces and restarted.

"In its recorded archives, our existence no longer exists."

Lin En nodded and continued to ask:
"Mr. Tower Spirit, what is the Black Moon Spirit Body that you just taught me? Do I need to pay any price?"

“As for the cost, directly instilling knowledge does have some negative effects, but the technology is already very mature. For wizard apprentices, all they need to do is get a good night’s sleep. There is no cost.

"As for the Black Moon Spirit Body, it is the most core inheritance of the Black Moon Academy. It is a powerful secret method to coordinate the soul and the body."

"Harmonizing soul and body?"

"Yes, you should know that the source of a wizard's power is the spirit. The wizard's practice path is actually a process of strengthening the spirit." But in long-term practice, wizards have discovered that although the body seems to have no effect, it can actually bring some unique bonuses to the spirit.

“Wizards who cultivate their bodies are always more powerful than those who cultivate their spirits. Their spirits are easier to recover and less susceptible to permanent damage… These are all benefits brought by the body.

“At first, the effects of these additions are not very obvious, but when you become a fourth-level wizard, if you still cultivate your physical body.

"Then the will born from the flesh will merge with the spirit generated by the soul to form the 'God's Will'!
“By then, the power of wizards will be greatly enhanced. At the same level, a wizard who only practices spiritual cultivation will basically not be able to compete with a wizard who also practices physical cultivation.

“However, while cultivating the body is good, it is not all advantages.

“First of all, the human body has its limits. To some extent, it is even more difficult to cultivate than the spirit, so many people simply cannot continue on the path of physical cultivation.

“Secondly, practicing multiple disciplines will inevitably lead to distraction, especially when physical practice is so difficult.

"So, it's hard to say whether improving combat power is more important or advancing quickly is more important."

“However, wizard civilization has found a solution during its long development. That solution is a secret method like the Black Moon Spirit Body that is used to coordinate the spirit and the body.

“This secret method is one of the most precious secrets of every academy. The effects are similar, which is to improve the efficiency of cultivating both the body and the soul, but the principles behind it are different.

“The principle of this secret technique of the Black Moon Academy is to transform the physical body into a special Black Moon spirit body, while retaining the physical characteristics, allowing it to establish a special cycle with the spirit.

“This cycle can keep the body and spirit in balance.

"At that time, the strength of the body will nourish the growth of the spirit, and the strength of the spirit will also drive the strengthening of the body. Whether it is strengthening the spirit or strengthening the body, in the end they will be able to strengthen each other!

"The physical training barrier no longer exists. Wizards only need to practice the spirit to continuously grow their bodies!

“And theoretically speaking, after you have fully mastered the Black Moon Spirit Body, the efficiency of your original practice will not be affected at all.

“This means that just by practicing spiritual cultivation normally, one can gain spiritual and physical growth at the same time!

"Of course, this growth did not come out of thin air. Resource consumption will be more than twice the original amount." Talling's voice was filled with indescribable pride.
"This kind of effect can be ranked among the best among all the secret methods of that era!"

Lin En was slightly stunned and couldn't utter a word of rebuttal.

If this secret technique is really as Tower Spirit said, then it is indeed an incredibly powerful secret technique!
As long as the resources are sufficient and the Black Moon Spirit Body is fully mastered, there is almost no extra cost to cultivate the physical body as well.

However, he also noticed that what Talling said was only in theory, which means that in reality it would most likely affect the efficiency of practice a little.

But even if it has a slight impact, the benefits it can bring far outweigh the cost!

Lin En originally thought that Green Shadow’s spirituality was the biggest gain this time, but now it seems that the biggest gain is clearly this secret method!
"Are there any other questions?" Talling continued to ask, "If not, let's go quickly. There is a shuttle next to us that seems to be barely intact. We may be able to use it to go to a suitable place.

"Thirty thousand years have passed. If you want to restore Black Moon Academy, you still have a lot to do."

"One last question, Lord Ta Ling. There is a battlefield next to you. Does your body have any defense? If a battle breaks out later...

“This is just a standard core for storing consciousness, made of common mithril and gemstones. It has no defensive capabilities.

"But you can put me on the shuttle next to you, and then I...what are you doing, Lin En?!" Ta Ling suddenly screamed.

Tsk-tsk-

Lin En's face was calm, holding the silver-white ball in both hands, and sharp airflow gushed out, cutting the silver-white ball in his hands!
The smooth outer shell of the sphere was soon covered with cracks, revealing the delicate structure inside. High concentrations of magical energy leaked out, forming a light blue mist.

Taring's voice soon became stuttered.

A moment later, accompanied by an explosion, the silver-white sphere suddenly burst, and the tower spirit's voice also stopped abruptly.

Lin En controlled the small wind shield technique to block all the fragments.

Then, a ball of fire appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around the fragments of the sphere.

Lin En continued to output magic power until all the mithril melted into a ball and the gems were completely shattered. Then he finally stopped and felt a little relieved.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought about taking on the mission of restoring the Black Moon Academy, and he was even more unwilling to bear inexplicable hatred and responsibility.

After collecting the remaining mithril and gems, Lin En quickly walked towards the shuttle.

'It has been almost two days since I traveled to the blood-red world, and I don't know if Jigos and Adeline are still alive.'

Lin En carefully observed the traces beside the shuttle, and his heart sank slightly.

There was an obvious scratch on the shuttle's hatch, which looked like it was left by some kind of bear.

But the good news is that the mark is still fresh and looks like it was left only a short time ago.

Lynn continued searching, hoping to find traces of Gigos and Adeline's escape.

At this moment, a scream came from the forest next to it, which seemed to be Adeline's voice!
Lin En's face turned grim and he hurried over.

A few minutes later.

On a big tree, he saw a huge black bear, and Adeline and Jigos were in danger above the bear.

boom!
The orange-yellow fireball shot towards the giant bear as Lin En wished!

"Roar!"

The giant bear was unable to dodge and was hit by the fireball on the back. Its black hair was immediately ignited. Although a faint yellow light emerged from its body the next moment and extinguished the flames, it still continued to howl miserably, using its hands and feet to quickly climb down from the tree and crawl away.

Lynn didn't chase it, but came under the tree.

"Sir Lin!" A look of excitement emerged on Adeline's pale face. Jigos beside her also showed surprise and was obviously relieved.

Jigos controlled the vines and slowly lowered himself and Adeline down from the tree.

It was at this time that Lin En discovered that Adeline's thighs were scratched by the giant bear's sharp front claws, leaving several deep wounds that could be seen to the bone, and were bleeding continuously.

The girl with heterochromia had sweat on her forehead, her lips were blue, and her eyes were a little dull.

Black Moon Academy...Black Moon Heritage...the danger hidden behind this is self-evident.

And now, the only people who knew that he was teleported to the blood-red world were Jigos and Adeline in front of him.

Lin En was silent for a moment, then took out the weak healing witchcraft crystal he had prepared before escaping and cast it on the girl with heterochromia.

After all, he and Elena were not the same kind of people.

As the magic flashed, Adeline's wound gradually stopped bleeding, and her complexion visibly improved. With slightly red eyes, she looked at Lin En with gratitude.

"Boss..." Jigos looked at Lin En and had a lot to ask.

But he was interrupted by Lin En just as he opened his mouth. Lin En said in a stern voice:
"I know you have a lot of questions, but don't ask. Just keep it to yourself. I'm not gone."

Lin En took out the contract, carefully drafted the terms, and handed it to Jigos and Adeline, saying:

"Do me a favor and sign it."

Although Jigos and Adeline were a little confused, they vaguely realized something and signed the confidentiality agreement without saying much.

As the two signed the contract, the will of Gunn's world descended briefly and confirmed the formation of the contract.

From this moment on, if Jigos and Adeline reveal any information about Lin's disappearance, they will be punished by the world's will as stipulated in the contract.

The contract culture based on Gunn's will is an important part of wizard civilization. It has now developed to a very mature level. Almost every wizard carries some blank contracts in case of emergency.

After all, Gunn's world will solves the most difficult part of the contract's judgment. As long as the world is covered by Gunn's will, the fairness and effectiveness of the contract can be guaranteed.

"Let's go back to the shuttle." Lynn said, walking towards the shuttle.

"So, can you tell me what the current situation is in the Hosens Wizard Territory?"

"The war seems to be over." Jigos said uncertainly, "About half a day ago, I saw the Holland School's Sky Whale Fortress fall, and there were two streams of light chasing each other. The one behind seemed to be the wizard Huosens. I remember seeing that kind of blazing red light when I joined the school.

"However, that stream of light is much stronger than it looked at first..."

"Wizard Hosens should have been promoted to the third level." Lynn speculated.

"Level 3... No wonder it was so easy to destroy the stream of light in front." Jigos suddenly realized. He hesitated and asked again,

"Where are we going next, boss?"

Lin En stood beside the shuttle, and after careful consideration, he looked at the burning Cuilin City not far away and said, "Maybe I will return to the Horsens Wizard Territory.

"But, not now, and we need to see the situation again."

If my inference is correct, the wizarding territory of Horsens should be full of opportunities after the war.

He looked at Jigos and said, "You always wanted to go to the Mortal Kingdom, right? I'll take you there first."

Jigos was obviously stunned. After signing the contract, he had already silently given up this wish in his heart. He thought he would have to stay under Lin En's nose for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect...

"Lynn..." Jigos didn't know what to say. He made a silent decision in his heart that even if he experienced cruel torture, he would never reveal any information about Lin!
……

……

A month later, the Horsom Wizarding Territory had basically returned to normal order.

The hillside where the Horsens School was originally located had been razed to the ground in the battle, with huge rocks scattered everywhere. Not far away, the huge and dilapidated Sky Whale Fortress lay on the ground, like a real stranded whale.

But the most eye-catching thing is the huge circular fortress anchored in mid-air.

That is the flying fortress belonging to Silver Ring Academy.

'After being promoted to the third level and destroying the wizards of the Holland School, Wizard Hosens did not develop the Blood Red World on his own. Instead, he handed over its information to the Silver Ring Academy and exchanged it for a lot of benefits.

'Hosens is now a powerful instructor at the Silver Ring Academy, responsible for the development of the Blood Red World, and the Hosens School has become a subsidiary school of the Silver Ring Academy.'

"We have confirmed your identity. Welcome back to the school, Linn. The Hosens Wizarding Territory is in need of reconstruction, and you have come at a great time."

Retracting his gaze, Lynn looked at Coleman, the first-level wizard of the Horsens School in front of him, and smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Coleman. I didn't expect to be so lucky."

"You are indeed lucky. At that time, Wizard Huosens led thousands of wizard apprentices, but only less than 500 of them escaped the teleportation. Fortunately, you were riding on the shuttle, and the green shadow follower on it was only concerned with returning to Cuilin City and did not attack you.

"Otherwise, if the shuttle crashes and you touch the ground, you will probably be teleported to the blood-red world."

"However, if you ask me, you are most fortunate because you were once a member of the school." The first-level wizard patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "Although the school has now lowered the standards for eliminated apprentices like you, as long as you are promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice, you can return to the school.

"But that doesn't mean you can sit back and enjoy yourself, keep working hard, Lynn.

Lynn smiled and nodded, saying, "I will, Mr. Coleman."

Although he had only been wandering outside for a month, he had deeply experienced the difficulties of being a wild wizard. Now he came back to the Horsens Wizard Territory not for pleasure, but for better climbing!
"Very good, go report.

"Re-prepare the school badge... assign housing... assign tasks... There are many things you need to do."

Lynn nodded, thanked him again, and then turned to leave.
