The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 89 Opportunity and Green Shadow Talent

"Adeline, do you know where my blue uniform is?"

Lynn pushed open the bedroom door and looked outside to ask the maid with odd eyes who was directing the servants to move.

"Is it the vest and trousers?" Adeline walked over quickly.

"Yes." Lynn nodded and made way.

"Let me help you find it. I think they haven't packed it out yet. I asked them to clean up the meditation room first... Are other casual clothes okay?"

"Sure, I'm just planning on going out for a walk, casual clothes will be fine." Lynn nodded.

The Horsens School was very efficient and made a school badge for him and allocated housing for him on the same day.

——A three-story villa with a courtyard originally provided by the Snake Society for first-class members.

The Serpent Order has perished, and the School has taken over the properties.

Of course, strictly speaking, this land originally belonged to the Horsens School, and it is just being reclaimed now.

And Lynn is moving now.

Of course, he was mainly responsible for watching, and Adeline was mainly responsible for the moving work.

After seeing off Jigos, Lin En also asked the girl with heterochromia what her future plans were.

The latter thought about it carefully, but asked Lynn if he still needed a housekeeper's maid.

Adeline was different from Jigos. She was born in Cuilin City and had no yearning for the backward mortal world. Instead, she was more accustomed to staying in the wizarding world.

In addition, she always felt that she was very happy to get along with Lynn, and the job of a maid was much more stable and comfortable than her previous job as a waiter in the restaurant.

That's why she asked.

As for Lynn, since Adeline was willing, he had no objection and readily agreed and took her back to Cuilin City.

"Found it, master." Adeline came out with a set of casual clothes.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Lin En reached out and took the uniform.

"Master, do we need to keep the original decorations in the house?" Adeline asked again.

"Just deal with the bloody specimens that don't look good, and you can handle the rest. After two or three months, when the reconstruction of the school's headquarters is completed, we will have to move."

"Okay, master."

Lynn nodded and closed the bedroom door.

The Horsoms School was still being rebuilt, so the magical energy supply to this residential meditation room had not yet been restored.

But the good news is that according to the school, it is expected that the supply of magic energy will be restored in half a month.

By then, according to the school's regulations, the concentration of magic energy he provides for free should reach the level of intermediate level 1, which is just one major level higher than his own realm.

This is much better than the treatment I received in the Golden Shadow Society before.

Although Lin En was already a first-class member at that time, the magic energy concentration in the meditation room was only advanced level 0, and he had to pay for it.

……

A month has passed, and Cuilin City has not fully recovered from the impact of the war.

Walking on the streets, you can see ruins everywhere. Patrolling wizards pass by from time to time, and occasionally you can see them dealing with a few mortal corpses.

Occasionally, pedestrians passed by, but they were in a hurry.

After the war, many wizards in Cuilin City died, and various forces and associations basically disappeared.

But in terms of the number of casualties, ordinary people still accounted for the majority.

They were too fragile. Falling rocks, building debris, and the aftermath of battles could easily take their lives.

Even if they avoid these, they still have a lot to face.

If the Hosens School had not sent personnel in time to take over order and ensure the supply of food, more ordinary people would have been killed or injured.

Lin En was wearing casual clothes, thinking aimlessly on the road, walking aimlessly, enjoying this rare short period of peace.

Before he knew it, he arrived at Bauhinia Street.

This is almost the place in Cuilin City most affected by the war.

In the chaos brought about by the war, many wizards took advantage of the situation to loot. The shops on Bauhinia Street were the easiest targets, and the losses were particularly heavy.

On the other hand, the gangs and associations in Cuilin City were almost wiped out in the war. Although the school took over the place, it did not have enough manpower to operate it.

So, Bauhinia Street now looks very deserted, and many shops are closed.

'The Cui Man Restaurant is still there?!'

Lin En took two more steps, but was suddenly stunned.

That familiar restaurant not only basically maintains its original appearance, but is also open for business!

Lin En suddenly became interested and was about to walk in when a familiar voice came from behind.

"Lynn?"

He turned around and saw Martin and Lucas standing behind him, wearing the standard wizard robes of the Horsens School.

"It's really you, Lin En. I didn't expect you to be still alive."

Martin's tone was full of surprise. That day, he and Lucas rushed to the school's headquarters, but by accident they avoided the teleportation and survived.

"Mr. Martin, Mr. Lucas." Lynn showed a surprised expression.

It is really a happy thing to meet old acquaintances in old places.

"Did you just come back? I have good news for you. The school is expanding and we are short of staff, so we are eliminating apprentices..."

Lynn took out his school badge and interrupted Lucas with a smile: "Thank you, Sir Lucas, but I already know."

Martin looked at the silver badge in his hand with a slightly envious look:

"You and Lucas are fine now. You have become students of the school again... If I had known, I would have worked hard to practice. Now I am almost there, and I can only become a peripheral member."

"Senior Martin, it's not too late for you to practice now. When you are promoted one day, you can also become a student of the school again."

Martin shook his head, but smiled:
“I know I’m not cut out for that. I’m already satisfied that I can stay in the academy and help with some chores.

"It's a pity that the silver thorn tree was destroyed in the war... Alas, the Holland School is really hateful. Not only did they destroy the school's mountain, but they also opened a teleportation array and killed most of the wizards in Cuilin City, making a mess."

Lin En looked calm. He knew that the teleportation array was the work of wizard Hosens, but in the general perception of the outside world, the culprit was the Holland School.

History is always written by the victors, always.

With a smile, Lin En extended an invitation:
"It's almost noon now, and Cui Man Restaurant is just behind us. Why don't we eat and talk at the same time?"

Lucas and Martin readily agreed.

But when the three of them walked into Cuiman Restaurant, they were told that the private rooms were full, so they had to sit in the hall.

"Most of them are the wealthy people from Yinhuan College. They come to Cuiman Restaurant every day to eat and drink. They are really rich." Martin said with emotion after sitting down.

"Apprentices from the academy are naturally richer than apprentices like me from remote areas." Lucas echoed.

Lin En also became interested and asked:
"I just returned to the Horsoms Wizard Territory, and I don't understand a lot of things yet. From what you said, the Silver Ring Academy brought wizard apprentices here this time?"

"Yes, on the one hand, they are here to develop the Blood Red World, and on the other hand, they are here to support us in building the Horsense Wizard Territory." Martin answered, emphasizing,
"Now that Teacher Huosens has successfully been promoted to the third level, the members of our Huosens School are not much worse in status than the members of the Silver Ring Academy!"

"It's still a little bit worse. Strictly speaking, we are only a subsidiary school of Silver Ring College, and our status is one level lower." Lucas said frankly.

Martin raised his eyebrows and retorted, "Teacher Huosens is a third-level wizard. There are not many of them in the entire Silver Ring Academy. We...you are his students, so you are not much different."

"Of course we are students of the teacher, but we are just students of the school," Lucas said bluntly.

"You two, I don't quite understand why we need Silver Ring Apprentices to build the Hosens Wizard Territory?"

Lynn interrupted their argument and continued to ask.

He was not very interested in these disputes over status.

After all, Silver Ring Academy is an academy after all. The treatment of wizard apprentices alone is obviously much higher than theirs, so there is no comparison.

He was more curious about the purpose of these Silver Ring Apprentices coming here.

If we just want to build the Hosens Wizarding Territory, we don't need them at all.

"It seems that it is because they want to build a safe road directly from the Horsens Wizarding Territory to the outside world." Martin replied.

"Now that the Black Rose School has perished, we are the only third-level force left in this area. The Silver Ring Academy seems to want to use this to expand its influence." Lucas added.

“Of course, on the other hand, it’s also because the transmission anchor point of the Blood Red World is here.

"Before the academy fixes a new anchor point and builds a new teleportation array, this is the only place where the Blood Red World can be developed."

“So that’s how it is…” Lin En was slightly shocked. He seemed to be able to foresee the great changes in the Horsens Wizarding Territory in the future.

This place will replace the original Black Rose Wizard Territory and become the most prosperous area nearby.

"But hasn't the magic energy vein been destroyed?" Lin En suddenly thought of it and asked.

"Only the surface is damaged. The actual damage is not serious. I heard that the Silver Ring Academy will send a fourth-level wizard to deal with the magic energy veins in a while." Lucas said.

"Dealing with magical energy veins?"

"It seems that we need to use the unique technology of large academies to connect the magic energy veins nearby with the magic energy veins in the Horsuns Wizard Territory, so that the latter can absorb the energy of the nearby magic energy veins and exist for a long time, and even improve its quality."

“It’s worthy of being a college.” Lin En was a little emotional.

“By the way, speaking of the Silver Ring Apprentice.

"I heard that Mr. Huo Sens will take a group of outstanding first-class apprentices to study abroad at Yinhuan College.
"It is said that this study abroad is different from the previous ones. Not only can I enjoy the same treatment and opportunities as the apprentices of Yinhuan College, but if I perform well enough, I will be accepted as a formal student by Mr. Huosens!"

"In addition to Mr. Huo Sensi, there is also a chance to be selected by other instructors of the Silver Ring Academy... But even if you are not selected by any instructor, you can go to the Silver Ring Academy to gain some experience, and the probability of being promoted to a first-level wizard will be greatly increased."

Lucas interrupted again, with some envy in his eyes.

Lin En drank a sip of green vine juice, feeling a little emotional and expectant.

The current Horsens Wizarding Territory is a bit like the sky after a storm, a rainbow may appear at any time... It is really full of opportunities!

……

……

In the meditation room.

Lynn opened his eyes, threw the magic stone fragments in his hand into the trash can, and sighed slightly.

He had just finished spying on the 'Black Moon Spirit Body'.

In fact, he had used all his opportunities in the past month to study this knowledge.

But until today, he still hadn't gotten started with the Black Moon Spirit Body. This precious knowledge was the most difficult knowledge he had ever seen.

The light displayed by Lian Kui Li was an unprecedented golden color.

On the one hand, this is because this knowledge is inherently difficult, and on the other hand, it is because Lin En’s current level of knowledge is not enough.

There was so much knowledge on it that he had never seen before.

If Talling were still alive, he could certainly answer his questions.

But now, Lin En can only slowly understand it by himself, and at the same time slowly hone his talent for peeping.

"But we can't use all our prying eyes on it."

Lin En pondered for a moment and decided to no longer use all his opportunities to spy on the Black Moon Spirit Body, but to spy on it at intervals.

Every time you glimpse the rest of the knowledge, you glimpse the Black Moon Spirit Body again.

Putting aside his thoughts, Lin En looked at himself.

Pale golden particles gathered together, and after a moment, a curtain of light appeared in front of them.

[Name: Lynn Kent]

【Age: 17】

【境界：二等巫师学徒（5/100）；白鸦剑术·一层（100/100）/二层（67/100）；】

[Kung Fu: White Crow Swordsmanship, Level 1 (Perfect)/Level 2 (Mastery); Huosens Apprentice Meditation Method, Level 2 (Mastery)]]

【witchcraft:
[0-level: Lesser Fireball (mastered); Lesser Tailwind (mastered); Psychic Shock (mastered);

[0-level intermediate: Wind Shield (beginner); Tailwind (beginner);]

[Skills: Preparation of Spiritual Shock Crystal Spell Tablets (Proficient); Witchcraft Array Basics (Proficient); Lanbir Shuttle Production (Mastered)]

[Source Energy: 1 (self); 0 (world); Secondary Mixed Source Energy: 0]

Looking at the entire light curtain, it can be said that apart from the White Crow Swordsmanship, Lin En has no other power to show off.

The only intermediate witchcrafts of level 0 were Wind Shield and Tail Wind, which he was able to get started with because of his previous experience with Small Wind Shield and Minor Tail Wind.

Other skills, such as the accelerated healing skill that I exchanged before and the 0-level medium standard fireball skill, are not yet mastered.

After all, he had just been promoted to a second-class wizard apprentice for more than a month.

He has been on the go for the past month and it is difficult for him to find a stable environment to study.

"My application for witchcraft should be approved tomorrow. I'll go to the academy's library to get the new witchcraft and study it together."

Lynn shook his head and put away the light curtain.

As usual, he took out the green shadow spiritual pendant and prepared to absorb the spirituality in it.

After a month of continuous absorption, only a trace of spiritual energy remained in the crescent-shaped pendant.

I estimate that it will take one or two more times to completely absorb it.

'I don't know how much I will absorb in the end, and what kind of talent I will gain.'

Lin En closed his eyes and began to control his mental power to absorb spirituality.

The Tower Spirit had explained to him that Green Shadow's spirituality had been purified by the Black Moon Fortress, leaving only the most core and purest part.

The downside is that there will be a slight loss of spirituality, but there are many advantages. It is not only safer, but also will not have any negative impact on oneself.
At the same time, because only the most core essence is retained, these spiritualities will be easier to absorb.

Moreover, at the most critical moment, only the purest spirituality can be completely integrated with the absorber itself, giving birth to new power that truly belongs to the absorber.

At that time, Elena seemed to have obtained the power of Green Shadow, but her own essence had actually changed and she had become a part of Green Shadow.

……

The next morning.

In the library of the Horsens School, the first-class wizard apprentice on duty said to Lin En in a gentle tone:

"According to the school's rules, you can receive five 5-level lower-grade witchcrafts and three 0-level middle-grade witchcrafts for free."

These free witchcrafts are the benefits provided by the Horsens School to every wizard apprentice who successfully advances to the third or second class.

Now that Lin En has returned to the school, these benefits have not disappeared. He can receive them after applying.

This kind of treatment is much better than that of previous associations.

After thanking the first-class apprentice, Lin En thought carefully and finally selected the following 8 witchcrafts:
"0-ring medium: Explosive fireball, Lamp defensive force field, Green vine technique.

"0-ring inferior: Eagle Eyes, Wind Hearing, Sound Isolation, Water Condensation, Secondary Poison Removal."

Although the Exploding Fireball is of the same level of witchcraft as the 0-ring medium standard fireball spell that Lin En had exchanged from the Golden Shadow Society before, the Exploding Fireball is of higher quality and can be considered a superior substitute for the latter.

Anyway, Lin En had not had time to practice the previous standard fireball spell, so it was a good opportunity to switch to this more powerful fine witchcraft.

After all, human energy is limited, and so are wizards.

Similarly, the Lamp Defense Field is also a sorcery of excellent quality.

Its defensive ability ranks among the top among all 0-level medium-level defensive sorceries.

Moreover, its power limit is also relatively high. When you reach the first-class apprentice, you can continue to use it without being eliminated. This is the same as Explosive Fireball and Green Vine Technique.

As for Green Vine Magic, it makes up for the shortcoming of not having control-type witchcraft and is very useful in terrain like the Green Shadow Forest.

Correspondingly, the Eagle Eye Technique and the Wind Hearing Technique are used to make up for the lack of reconnaissance means.

Soundproofing may seem ordinary, but it is actually a very useful auxiliary witchcraft. It can be used to hide oneself, or it can be cast during a conversation to achieve the effect of confidentiality.

Water Condensation and Secondary Toxin Removal can enhance one's own survivability.

"However, there are eight witchcrafts, plus the three intermediate level 0 witchcrafts that I originally needed to learn, a total of eleven witchcrafts... It's really exciting to read it."

After receiving the witchcraft, Lin En couldn't help but complain, but his heart was full of joy.

He could already imagine what his strength would be like once he had learned these witchcrafts!
……

Two more days passed, and Lin En completely absorbed the green shadow spirituality.

In the meditation room, he could feel that as the last bit of spirituality was absorbed, the spirituality contained in his body was finally complete.

And at this moment, some strange power broke out from the ground!

Lin En opened his eyes instinctively, and his light grey eyes had turned completely black without him noticing.

There seemed to be some kind of vortex quietly turning in those bottomless black eyes, with a power that could captivate the heart.

After a long time, the abnormality disappeared.

Lynn closed his eyes again, feeling the talent he had gained.

'The original Green Shadow was a swarm life form. Its ability seemed to be to transform other lives into followers, but in fact, to be more precise, it was to transform other lives into parts of itself.

'Those followers can essentially be understood as Green Shadow's hands and feet, but they are hands and feet with miniature brains.

'They are connected to each other through the mental network they have established, controlled by the central brain, Green Shadow.

'But the Green Shadow ability that Elena obtained is actually different from the original Green Shadow ability.

'She can also control other lives, but they are more like followers rather than parts of her body.

'At the same time, the mental network is no longer a collective thinking, but a network used purely for command and communication.

'It is precisely because of this that Elena does not have the ability like Green Shadow to combine all her followers (parts of the body) to form a stronger whole.

'But it still retains the ability to 'revive' its followers.

"However, this resurrection is more like the awakening of a replica that was backed up in the follower early in the morning, rather than a true resurrection."

"Sure enough, under the influence of the green shadow, Elena's essence has become different from that of ordinary humans."

Lin En felt a little emotional. After completely absorbing the spirituality, he had a new understanding of the power of Green Shadow and Elena, and could see their essence more clearly.

Strictly speaking, the original Elena had already died in that restaurant, and those who fought with him later were just copies of her stored in his followers.

I don’t know whether those should be called Elena.

This is somewhat similar to the famous philosophical problem of "Ship of Theseus" in previous lives.

No one knows whether the Elena in the future is the same Elena as before.

However, each person's spiritual nature is unique.

It is impossible to back up the data in another body. What Elena backed up was probably a fragmented spirit with consciousness.

But this is not something that ordinary people can do.

This is also why Lin En said that under the influence of Green Shadow, Elena's essence has become different from that of humans.

But no matter what, whether it is Green Shadow or Elena, the power they possess will most likely have a certain impact on their continued climb to the wizard's path.

This influence is not necessarily bad, but it is not necessarily good either.

"However, the talent I have now obtained has abandoned these shortcomings and is a version that is more suitable for the human race of Gunn and will not be alienated."

Lynn stood up slowly, a look of joy on her face.

His abilities are basically similar to the powers Elena gained.

It also has the ability to transform followers, and can form commands and networks with followers.

The difference is that Lin En cannot back up his own "copy", and the number of followers he can control is also limited.

But on the other hand, he can gather the power of his followers through the spiritual network to bless himself, thereby greatly improving his own strength in a short period of time!

The reason why Lin En was able to do this was mainly because of his different way of controlling his followers.

He is not like Green Shadow who merges the spirit of his followers with himself, nor is he like Elena who is half-fused and half-parasitic.

He is planting a special mark in the spirit of his followers.

This mark can not only control the followers, but also purify and transform the followers' power, and then transmit it to Lin En through the mark network when necessary, so that he can temporarily gain powerful power!

'If I have enough followers, it might not be impossible for me to become a wizard as an apprentice!'

Lynn laughed silently, but soon calmed down.

'It's a pity that each time a mark is made, the recovery time required is very long, and it also takes time for the mark to accumulate spiritual energy, so it can only be used as a trump card.

'But then again, having loyal followers can be a great help.

'It seems that I need to think carefully about the choice of the first follower.'
