The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Chapter 221 Level 3 Witchcraft Template
Chapter 221

"fine……"

After scanning the contents of the third spatial ring with his mental energy, Lynn finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart subsided.

This ring contains exactly what he needs most.

"I remember that back then, the Spirit Eye Forge invested heavily in resources. As long as you contributed enough battle merits, you could even exchange it for the complete inheritance of a third-level Grand Wizard..."

Lynn's gaze fell on the inside of the ring, and the information of the sorcery inheritance appeared in his mind like flowing light.

He was almost certain that all the legacy information of the third-level archmages in the furnace was concentrated in this ring.

"Moreover, the divisions are clear, with elemental schools, bloodline wizards, and even the rare mechanical wizard system..."

Lynn's horizons were broadened once again, giving him a sense of exhilaration as he glimpsed the true, deep structure of the wizarding world.

After all, the Spirit Eye Wizard had already been promoted to Morning Star Wizard for many years and had an extremely profound foundation.

It is not surprising to find such a rich and complete three-tiered heritage in his private treasury.

For most wizards, once a path of practice is chosen, the future development of witchcraft will revolve around and evolve around a certain system.

This "combination" does not mean that one must practice a specific type of witchcraft, but rather that a certain type of witchcraft template will have a high degree of compatibility with its main system.

For example, the "Twilight Rain Wizard" whom Lynn personally dealt with was a powerful elementalist specializing in water.

Most of the witchcraft he practiced, and even the templates for his advancement and breakthroughs, revolved around the "water element."

Wizards with clear paths and stable structures make up the mainstream of the entire wizarding world.

But Lynn did not belong to the "majority".

He is a nature wizard.

Just as bloodline wizards use the power of their bloodline as their core and witchcraft as a means, Lynn's cultivation system also takes nature as its main axis, with witchcraft as a means and extension.

This is why Lynn has far more freedom than ordinary people when choosing a witchcraft template.

You can flexibly choose the template type according to your own growth pace and desired direction, instead of being rigidly bound to a certain path.

"My first-tier sorcery template is the defensive type 'Silence and Tranquility'."

"The second-tier sorcery template is the domain-type 'Falling Forest'."

While perusing the heritage, Lynn silently analyzed his own system of construction.

Although wizards can learn a wide range of other systems of witchcraft to enhance their overall abilities, the choice of a "witchcraft template" is exceptionally crucial.

It will be engraved in the spiritual realm, bringing many special blessings to wizards.

Among them, the most prominent is the ability to "instantly" activate.

This ability allows wizards to unleash spells almost without chanting at crucial moments, greatly enhancing their survivability and counter-attack capabilities in battle.

This is why choosing the right type of sorcery template is a top priority that almost every wizard considers repeatedly before advancing in their career.

"At the level of a third-level archmage, the effectiveness of a first-level defensive spell is greatly reduced. If it were someone else, they would most likely choose a new defensive spell template at this point..."

Lynn muttered to himself, his gaze slightly lowered, a thought flashing through his mind.

The next moment, a green light emerged from his body, rippling like water, as if endless life force was pulsating around him.

That was the permanent magical mark engraved in his body, originating from Ifgrid's symbiotic magic: "Echo of Life".

However, the "echoes of life" at this moment are no longer the same as in the past.

It has become more magnificent and more complex.

Intricate and complex magical runes naturally appeared on his body, densely packed, as if forming an invisible protective shield.

The complexity of this structure far exceeds that of first-level witchcraft, and even surpasses that of most second-level witchcraft!
That's right!

As Ifgrid grew up, this symbiotic magic underwent a fundamental transformation.

Lynn originally thought that Ifgrid would develop new companion magic with each advancement.

But the reality was unexpected.

It does not create new witchcraft, but rather continuously elevates and strengthens the existing "echoes of life".

The current "Echo of Life" is a defensive spell comparable to or even surpassing the level of a third-tier archmage, possessing not only basic effects such as self-repair and shock absorption.

It also contains a continuous "flow of life force" that can actively repair injuries and maintain the stability of the wizard's state.

"With 'Echo of Life' in place, my defense system is already quite comprehensive, so there's really no need to waste another spell template..."

Lynn made a decision and decisively removed all the defensive spell templates from the spatial ring.

He then began to re-examine the remaining template categories.

"Besides defensive techniques, there are also movement and escape techniques, offensive techniques, burst enhancement techniques, and domain techniques..."

He quickly filtered the options, first eliminating domain-related witchcraft.

His second-level permanent sorcery mark, "Falling Forest," is an area-of-effect spell, so there's no need to repeat it.

He then ruled out any burst-enhancing techniques.

The reason is simple: although the Spirit Eye Wizard's collection is extensive, most of the secret arts within it are incompatible with Lynn's system and are not suitable for his current framework.

Ultimately, Lynn was left with only two options: magic that allowed him to move and escape, and magic that allowed him to attack.

"Offensive methods... The reason I was able to treat those level three archmages as nothing and kill them easily wasn't because of my sorcery, but because of Ifgrid..."

Lynn knew very well that Ifgrid's level had already surpassed that of an ordinary level three archmage, and was somewhere between a level three archmage and a Morning Star wizard.

Its attack was almost as powerful as a third-level archmage's all-out strike!
Under these circumstances, adding offensive magic would be too inefficient.

After thinking it over, Lynn's choice became clear.

The only thing he needs to improve is his ability to move and escape!

Thinking of this, Lynn's gaze unconsciously fell on his feet, on the shoes he still wore.

Although after leaving the Mechanical City, he immediately put down all things related to mechanical wizards, such as mechanical puppets, exoskeletons, and so on.

However, Lynn kept one thing in mind: the shoes he was wearing.

Starfall Boots.

These are a pair of extraordinary objects born in the mechanical city, capable of releasing "Starfall Power" three times. Each time, they can instantly create a high-speed trajectory like a starfall, making them the "fastest escapers".

Furthermore, after three uses, it can be recharged by absorbing the power of the stars.

This treasure did indeed help him escape danger on many occasions, especially during the interdimensional expedition.

When he was still a first-level wizard, the Starfall Boots were impeccable, serving both to save his life and to launch surprise attacks.

But now... the situation is very different.

He is already a level two wizard, and his overall strength is enough to crush ordinary level three wizards.

For Lynn now, the Starfall Boots are no longer a good match for his current speed needs and fighting rhythm.

However, during this period of time, most of his opponents were ordinary level three archmages, and he defeated them all by using Ifgrid's surprise attack methods.

The goal is to resolve the issue before the opponent can react, thus preventing the weakness in speed from being exposed.

But Lynn knew in his heart that it was only temporary. Once he faced an opponent who was a Morning Star Wizard, or a powerful figure skilled in teleportation and escape.

So relying solely on Ifgrid's firepower to suppress the enemy, it's very likely that they won't even be able to touch anyone, let alone cause any damage.

"Then it's settled. For my level 3 sorcery template, I'll choose a displacement-type sorcery."

Lynn made up his mind and then continued to browse through the vast amount of witchcraft data in his spatial ring.

After multiple rounds of screening and comparison, Lynn finally selected several displacement spells that met his needs from the large number of templates left by the Spirit Eye Wizard.

If he could, he would naturally prefer witchcraft involving spatial power, as the ability to teleport instantly and disregard the rules of physics is the ultimate escape ability.

Unfortunately, spatial magic is not in the collection.

Given this, Lynn had no choice but to settle for other types of displacement methods.

His primary selection criterion was speed!

In terms of speed, those who excel at controlling wind and lightning are naturally the elementalists.

Ultimately, from among the many candidates, he chose a spell from the wind element system:
"Level Three Sorcery: Skyward Chasing Flash!"

Relying on the properties of the wind element, this technique allows for swift movement in the air, and under high-intensity control, it can even achieve an effect similar to "teleportation".

This perfectly matches Lynn's current needs.

Thus, Lynn's purpose in going to the Spirit Eye Forge was successfully achieved.

He not only obtained a level 3 permanent sorcery template, but also completed a crucial addition to the combat system.

However, Lynn did not immediately set off to return to the Temple of Life.

He originally planned to return to the Temple of Life after obtaining the sorcery template, quickly master the sorcery through his talent, and then explore and search for opportunities in the [Landscape].

After all, he had always been wary of the movements of the Aquila group, worried that they would guard the landscape closely and take over.

But things are different now.

Deep within the Spirit Eye Forge, Lynn was able to confirm, through the forge's spirit, that the Aquila's minions were not paying attention to the landscape at all.

They all remained inside the furnace, clearly having no intention of heading to the landscape immediately.

Given this, Lynn naturally wouldn't waste this unique opportunity.

Moreover, he now controls the spirit of the furnace, so he can know immediately if those people make any unusual moves.

The right timing, the right location, and the right people are all in my hands.

Lynn smiled calmly and then gave the order:

"Have the Spirit of the Furnace monitor those people in Aquila from the very beginning, and notify me immediately if there is any movement."

After receiving his orders, the Spirit-Eyed Wizard was stationed inside the furnace to oversee the overall situation.

Lynn himself quietly left the furnace and sped off along the same route towards the Emerald Isle Forest...

………………

In the vast forest of Emerald Island, towering trees and lush foliage form a canopy.

All around were ancient trees that towered into the clouds, like sleeping giants, standing silently.

An ancient and secluded road winds its way through the forest, leading to its deepest part.

Lynn was walking slowly on it.

There was a time when he walked this road with a heart full of unease, filled with awe and vigilance towards the unknown;

But now, his eyes hold a hint of composure and anticipation.

"Ok?"

The deeper Lynn went, the more a strange resonance suddenly surfaced in his heart.

It was a calling from the unseen world, as if something was guiding him forward.

He immediately understood that the guidance came from the golden scales.

“As expected…” Lynn’s gaze narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice, “There is a profound connection between the golden scales and the [Landscape]. You could even say that it is the key to unlocking the [Landscape]… or even its core.”

He clearly remembered that in the past, "Qi" was like a god in the landscape, dominating everything, precisely because of the control of the golden scales.

And now, this treasure belongs to him.

"Enter."

With a thought, Lynn activated the golden scales.

In an instant, a blazing golden light burst forth from the scales, completely enveloping his entire body.

call out!
The space rippled like water, and Lynn's figure disappeared from the spot.

Apart from the faint footprint on the ground, there was no other trace, as if nothing had ever happened.

……

[Landscape] Interior.

This is a vast and transcendent space, like a giant tower standing in the void, divided into layer upon layer, stacked and extended like steps.

If an ordinary person is drawn in, they can only follow the rules of the landscape itself, climbing step by step from the bottom, undergoing trials, and exploring forward.

But Lynn does not fall into this category.

He hovered in mid-air, surrounded by a bubble of golden light, like a protective pod, carrying him above the rules.

Lynn looked down at his feet, and the world, layer upon layer, was like the pages of an open book, each page carrying a complete vision and mystery.

This is the landscape.

In the past, he could only follow the steps and "climb the stairs";
Today, with the slightest thought, he can traverse different realms, like a celestial being on patrol.

The light bubble began to accelerate, and amidst the flowing golden light, Lynn flew straight towards the deepest part of the [landscape].

That place is the central core of this strange space.

Before long, he arrived here.

[Landscape] At the deepest part, a magnificent platform stands quietly, covered with golden runes, like an altar for ancient rituals.

In the center of the altar stood a statue of scales, its design exactly the same as the golden scales in Lynn's hand.

Lynn slowly extended his right hand, and in his palm, a miniature, shimmering golden scale floated up, as if echoing and resonating with the statue.

The golden light grew even more intense, and the heavens and earth above the platform seemed to tremble slightly...

Amidst the dazzling golden light, the two scales, one large and one small, seemed to resonate with each other.

call out!
A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from the scale sculpture, and then the golden light converged into a golden gate that appeared on the platform.

Even through the golden portal, Lynn could still vaguely see numerous treasures floating inside...

Seeing this, Lynn licked his lips and eagerly walked towards the portal.
