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

Chapter 227 Nature Wizard?

Chapter 227

Although Five Star City is nominally a wizard city jointly established by the Five Nations Alliance, there are very few "locals" actually living there.

Most of the people coming and going are wizards from neighboring countries. Some use the teleportation array here to travel to distant places, while others come specifically to purchase various extraordinary resources.

"Lord Qinglin, our teleportation service will vary in price and service content depending on the destination."

The alluring witch named Jessie explained considerately, her tone gentle yet slightly probing.

Lynn nodded slightly, clearly already aware of this, and immediately said:

"Book me a teleportation ticket to 'Liuyun Tower'."

"Liuyun Tower" is one of the farthest extraordinary forces that the Five Star City teleportation array can reach, and it has stable spatial coordinates for receiving teleportation.

Jessie nodded after hearing this, a faint glint in her beautiful eyes, clearly indicating that she was making remote contact and searching.

A moment later, she smiled sweetly, her tone respectful and gentle:
"Lord Qinglin, the next teleportation to Liuyun Tower will open in five days. I have already reserved a ticket for you, which costs five thousand magic stones."

Lynn remained expressionless, raised his hand and waved it, and a deep, glowing magic stone floated out and landed in Jessie's palm.

It was a superior magic stone, with pure crystals and abundant spiritual energy.

In the Wizarding World, magic stones are divided into three categories: superior, medium, and inferior, with an exchange rate of one to one hundred.

One superior magic stone is equivalent to ten thousand inferior magic stones, far exceeding the amount needed for this teleportation.

Of course, Lynn was not a spendthrift.

This stone was something he had previously obtained from the Spirit Eye Wizard's treasury. While it wasn't exactly scarce, it wasn't a gift given casually either.

“I’ll be staying in Five Star City for the next five days,” Lynn said calmly. “Arrange my accommodations and give me a thorough introduction to the city’s unique features. You’ll get your share of the benefits.”

Upon hearing this, Jessie's beautiful eyes shone brightly, and she thought to herself: "As expected, his skill is extraordinary, far beyond that of an ordinary wizard."

"Lord Qinglin..." Her voice grew softer and more alluring, as if she had remembered something. Suddenly, she took half a step forward and whispered:
"Three days from now, the Five Star Auction House will be holding an underground auction, open to invitees only. I wonder if you, sir, would be interested?"

"Oh? I'm new here, so I can be considered an 'invitee'?" Lynn asked with a half-smile.

Jessie covered her mouth and chuckled softly, offering a graceful bow, her tone light yet revealing a hint of confidence:
"We at Five Star City would be extremely grateful to have such an honored guest as Lord Qinglin."

………………

In the heart of Five Star City stands a towering Star Tower, considered one of the most luxurious hotels in the city.

The entire tower shimmered like starlight, its surface radiating a faint magical glow. Each floor was an independent and exclusive space, private and prestigious.

The interior of the Star Tower is extremely luxurious and well-planned, featuring not only energy pools and magic laboratories, but also a floating garden for relaxation.

The price for a single night's stay is a whopping 1,000 magic stones, making it an incredibly luxurious experience.

Lynn had already checked into one of the high-floor guest rooms.

He chuckled softly, and as the door slowly closed, a faint, wistful gaze lingered outside:
That's Jessie.

She never expected that Lord Qinglin, who had been watching her closely and speaking gently on the road, would ultimately not even give her a chance to invite him out.

That aloof attitude only made her more unpredictable.

Inside the room, Lynn stretched and looked relaxed.

He doesn't reject the occasional romantic encounter during his travels, but he's not the type to just play along.

Especially in this unfamiliar city, caution always takes precedence over impulsiveness.

What's more, he had just "lost money".

If there is a real need, he can easily recall Astrid, his nominal wife, through the scales.

As the daughter of the Morning Star Wizard, Astrid far surpasses Jessie in both appearance and temperament. Moreover, she is loyal and well-known, which is far superior to a witch she has just met.
During the day, accompanied by Jessie, Lynn had basically explored the entire Five Star City, which was not very large.

While there were some interesting places, what truly interested him was the underground auction that would take place a few days later.

Before that, he decided to quietly cultivate himself.

He didn't waste any time, but instead took out the batch of witchcraft materials that he had taken from the Spirit Eye Furnace and began to carefully examine them.

While the number of third-level spells was small, the number of first- and second-level spells was extremely abundant, enough to keep him occupied for several days.

Lynn leaned back on the soft velvet sofa in the living room, holding a slightly worn-out witchcraft tome in her hands:

Complete Guide to Level One Sorcery: Selected Chapters on Elements

He turned the pages of the book and murmured to himself:

"When I was a level two wizard, I hardly had time to really learn any level two wizardry... Now that I've broken through to level three, I have a chance to go back and make up for it."

"But since we're going to make up for it, let's start with the basics. Anyway, I have talent. Even the most difficult witchcraft, given enough time, I can learn it."

A slight smile played on his lips, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

As Lynn flipped through the books, his mental energy also quietly began to circulate, slowly outlining the structure and release model of each first-level spell in the mental realm of his mind.

And all of this was immediately reflected on his panel:
[Level 1 Sorcery - Fire Control, Proficiency +1]

[Level 1 Spell - Firebird Spell, Proficiency +1]

[Level 1 Sorcery - Fire Wall, Proficiency +1]

……

The wizarding world has a vast and profound system of magic, and even the fire element branch of first-level magic has a dazzling array of types.

But a truly knowledgeable wizard would understand.

These seemingly different level-one fire spells actually mostly originate from the same source: fireball spells.

Fire control, firebird, fire wall... are all essentially derivatives and variations of fireball.

They are “branch witchcraft” that are born from the addition of new ideas, structures and release methods to the original framework.

This dismantling, reconstruction, refinement, and evolution of old witchcraft is the fundamental driving force for the extension and innovation of the witchcraft system.

Only those wizards who have truly entered the halls of academia can use this as a path to create entirely new schools of witchcraft.

These innovative explorations and experiments all require a specific place: a witchcraft laboratory.

Thinking of this, Lynn's gaze narrowed slightly.

The image of the sorcery laboratory located in the Spirit Eye Forge involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

He had been inside before, but at the time, he only used it to simply test the power of witchcraft.

Looking back now, the layout and function of that witchcraft laboratory were clearly not just for testing.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered a sentence his mentor, Rosalind, had once said.

When he first mentioned the laboratory, Rosalind simply smiled and said, "You'll find out the true purpose of the witchcraft laboratory later."

Looking back now, that smile was full of meaning.

Lynn shook his head gently, the image of his teacher appearing in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of the maple tree and the spirit of the blue sky.

Unfortunately, the maple tree is still slumbering in the spirit of the blue sky, and it seems that even waking the maple tree is a long way off, let alone rescuing the teacher.

He turned his attention back to the book in front of him.

Although he was not like those true masters of witchcraft, he was able to deduce changes and create entirely new systems of witchcraft.

But he possessed a talent that even the masters could hardly match, mastering all the witchcraft one by one!

The saying goes, "If you can read three hundred Tang poems by heart, you can recite them even if you can't compose them." At this moment, Lynn is in such a process of accumulating knowledge and experience before finally unleashing his potential.

With the mastery and understanding of one spell after another, he gained an unprecedented understanding and insight into the structure of the entire witchcraft system.

....................................

Time slipped away quietly, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

As night fell, Jessie appeared at Lynn's door again. But unlike before, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Although Lynn had given her a very generous tip earlier, his cold "rejection" at the door seemed to have hurt her self-esteem as a woman.

This sense of loss is harder to soothe than money.

Despite a slight resentment in her heart, Jessie still adhered to her duties as a wizard's assistant, leading Lynn towards the core area of ​​Five Star City.

If you look down at the entire Five Star City from the air, you will find that its layout resembles a five-pointed star.

The crisscrossing streets form the outline of a star, and the intersection of all the streets is the heart of the city: the Five Star Auction House.

Although tonight's auction is called an "underground auction," all those who received invitations are important figures highly regarded by Five Star City.

Therefore, this auction was naturally not hidden in a dark corner like a real underground transaction.

Instead, it was arranged to be held in the most luxurious hall of the five-star auction house.

Led by Jessie, Lynn successfully passed through numerous security checks and verifications, finally arriving at the top floor of the auction house.

However, what he saw was not the auction scene with clearly defined seats and bidding paddles that he had imagined.

It was more like a private cocktail party for nobles.

The hall was spacious and bright, with luxurious decor. Golden chandeliers hung down, reflecting glittering light on the crystal-like walls.

Maids dressed in light uniforms moved gracefully among the crowd, their trays laden with various drinks and delicate snacks.

The tall, upright bartender held a silver tray and respectfully served cocktails to the guests, always maintaining a smile and proper demeanor.

A row of buffet tables was set up in the corner, the aroma filling the air, and the silverware under the candlelight reflected colorful light and shadow.

The red of the jam, the white of the cheese, the golden yellow of the Warcraft steak, and the dark green of the seasonings intertwine to create a sensory feast.

In the very center of the hall, a tall platform stood prominently, upon which were neatly arranged rare treasures to be auctioned. A faint magical aura rippled through the air, attracting the guests' gazes to scrutinize and discuss them from time to time.

Lynn casually took a glass of amber-colored cocktail, took a sip, and slowly walked towards the platform.

He glanced at the exhibits on the stage one by one, his eyes sparkling like a stream of light, as various treasures came into view.

The layout of Five Star City is exceptionally thoughtful. Each item has an exquisite nameplate attached to it, detailing its origin, grade, function, and suggestions for extended uses.

For example:

pearl stone

[Level]: Tier 3 Item
[Source]: Unique resources of deep-sea marine life
[Attribute]: Water Affinity
[Uses]: Can be used to forge water elemental enchanted items, such as the "Pearl Jade Ring" and the "Water Stone Crown," with relevant blueprints provided by Five Star City. It can also be refined into potion materials; when used with the blueprint "Water Heart Potion," it can improve the user's water elemental guidance constitution.

The Book of Byron

[Level]: Morning Star Wizard's Manuscript
[Author]: Byron, an expert in the field of negative energy research

[Content Overview]: This work delves into the patterns, resonances, guidance methods, and practical strategies of negative energy planes within the endless planes. Five-Star Tower Assessment: Possesses significant theoretical depth and research value; recommended for wizards specializing in negative energy research.

………………

Guardian Stone
[Level]: Tier 3 Magic Material
【Uses】: Widely used in various defensive enchanted items, it is an ideal core material for constructing shields, seals, magic circles and other structures.

Lynn's gaze slowly wandered among the dazzling array of treasures, and his evaluation of Five Star City rose once again.

Professional, detailed, and accurate, it not only includes the item's attributes but also thoughtfully notes its purpose, provides accompanying drawings, and even offers purchasing advice.

All of this broadened Lynn's horizons.

"If I come across something that really interests me, I might consider buying it..." he thought to himself.

In fact, he already had a goal.

That book, "The Book of Byron," greatly appealed to him.

Although he did not specialize in the negative energy school, the value of a Morning Star wizard's work has long transcended the limitations of a single school of thought.

Even just reading about it is enough to broaden one's horizons and inspire creativity.

The only thing that made him hesitate was that there were probably quite a few people interested in this kind of work, and if someone bid, the final price of "The Book of Byron" might be driven far beyond his expectations.

Although the study of negative energy is not mainstream, it is still the second largest category in the Black Wizarding system after the elemental schools.

Although the number of practitioners is less than that of elemental wizards such as fire, thunder, and water, they hold a pivotal position in the world of dark wizards.

With that thought in mind, Lynn took a small sip of his drink, his gaze calm, and gave Jessie, who was standing close beside him, a price.

He didn't want to get entangled in bidding wars with others, so he simply set a target price. As long as it didn't exceed that price, he would acquire "The Book of Byron".

If he exceeds the limit, he will miss out on this book.

Continuing forward, Lynn looked at the various items up for auction, while also glancing at the other participants out of the corner of his eye.

Those who come here are all prominent figures, either renowned individuals or wizards like Lynn who have demonstrated their abilities.

Therefore, the worst person to arrive here is a level three archmage. Lynn even saw several figures that made him feel immense pressure.

If he wasn't mistaken, those people were probably true Morning Star wizards, or perhaps third-level archmages who had embarked on their own Morning Star path...

Lynn quietly withdrew her gaze and looked at the auction items, then suddenly trembled slightly.

He noticed a woman with downcast eyes, dressed in a dark robe, among the items being auctioned.

Women are not a rarity in this corner; there are not only human women, but also elven women, sea creature women, and even goblin women.

But what made Lynn stop was that he felt his Ifgrid tremble slightly.

This woman seems to be a nature shaman?
