Wizard, I Have Another World

Chapter 331 Preparation

Upon closer inspection, it had been half a year since Lynn left the academy; it was unexpected that he would be able to return so soon.

Viper Academy is alive and well in the mountains.

A narrow path leads through the dense forest; follow the path straight to the academy gates.

This seemingly ordinary mountain road is actually fraught with danger; a slight misstep could lead to certain death.

Even a certified wizard cannot enter the academy without permission.

"call……"

A fierce wind was howling overhead.

A dark golden gargoyle descended from the sky and landed in front of the two:

"Little wooden puppet, we meet again."

"Lord Naner." Doreen (a middle-aged woman) bowed respectfully to the gargoyle.

"Could you please open the academy gate?"

"Hehe..." The gargoyle turned its fist-sized eyes and looked at Lynn behind it:

"So you're Kitto's new disciple?"

"Yes," Lynn replied.

This academy's "gatekeeper" is a second-tier golden gargoyle, said to be strong enough to withstand a third-circle wizard near the academy.

It can be said to be one of the most powerful beings in Viper Academy.

Unlike the others, this one is the most easily accessible powerful figure for ordinary apprentices within the academy. If you're lucky, you might even get something good from him; if you're unlucky...

It swallowed up even more apprentices!

"Hehe..." the gargoyle chuckled softly.

"Do you know where Kitto's former apprentices went?"

"I don't know." Lynn's eyes flickered slightly.

"Senior, can you..."

"Magic stone." The gargoyle rubbed his arm-thick fingers together, a greedy smile spreading across his face.

"Two magic crystals, and I'll help you get rid of your troubles."

One magic crystal can be exchanged for one hundred magic stones; this is the market price, but in reality, it can often be exchanged for more.

Two pieces,

That means at least two hundred magic stones!

Lynn's face darkened.

Doreen's tense expression relaxed slightly; she knew, of course, that Lynn couldn't come up with the money.

"It doesn't matter if there are no magic stones." The gargoyle chuckled.

"If you sign a contract with me and do a few experiments for me, I can also help you regain your freedom."

It licked its lips:

"The bloodline modification in your body is practically perfect. It would be wonderful if it could be replicated."

Lin Enqian smiled.

"I'm sorry." He shook his head.

"I don't intend to continue using my body for experiments."

"Lord Naner." Doreen stepped forward, interrupting their conversation at the opportune moment:

"Could you please open the academy gate?"

The gargoyle stared intently at Lynn, its smile turning into a chilling, murderous glint.

However, considering the consequences of arbitrarily killing a formal apprentice of the academy, it snorted coldly and spread its wings to fly into the sky.

"Buzz..."

The academy gate trembled slightly, revealing a narrow gap, and the two hurriedly squeezed through it to enter.

A glimmer of hope appears after a period of despair!

The gate we just saw was actually a magical artifact involving spatial transformation, which transported people directly into the academy.

"Um!"

Doreen groaned, staggered forward a few steps, and looked at her knee joints in astonishment.

However, at some point, rust appeared on the surface of its legs, and it started to spread upwards.

"It's Naner, still with its usual wicked sense of humor."

Lynn stepped forward and tapped the wooden legs with his staff:

"This is a petrification-like witchcraft that will cause your puppet's body to rust and decay rapidly."

"Fortunately, your body is made of a special kind of wood that has a certain degree of resistance to witchcraft, otherwise it would probably have fallen apart by now."

"Hmph!" Doreen snorted coldly.

"My mentor will help me get rid of it."

"That would be best," Lynn said with a faint smile.

"If it can't be removed, you probably won't live much longer, and replacing the wood isn't cheap."

Doreen didn't answer, she just stared at him fiercely.

Don't look at me.

Lynn shrugged:

"I am a formal apprentice of the academy, and the gatekeeper will eventually have some reservations. You are just a puppet."

"Do I still need to see my advisor?"

"Go!" Doreen gritted her teeth.

"Let's go now!"

As a formal wizard, Kitto has a separate courtyard in the academy, and the meeting place is his study.

For a wizard, the importance of the study is irreplaceable.

The bookshelves, densely packed with books, are also a symbol of a wizard's vast knowledge.

"Come."

Kitto's illustration:

"Let me see how your cultivation is progressing."

Lynn obeyed the order, stepped forward to the crystal ball the size of a human head, and placed his palms on it.

A faint light began to flicker.

"Well……"

Kitto's eyes flickered:

"Your mental strength has progressed so quickly; you're already showing signs of becoming a high-level wizard apprentice."

"Yes." Lynn nodded, his face beaming with excitement.

"I don't know why, but ever since I underwent that wizard's bloodline experiment, my mental strength has been steadily increasing, even when I'm not cultivating. Plus, there's the silencing potion I concocted..."

"That's a good thing," Kitto said thoughtfully, resting his chin on his hand.

"If the bloodline modification is successful, both physical and mental strength will experience rapid advancements over a period of time."

"Your bloodline modification is practically perfect, so it's normal for it to surge. In that case... I'm starting to fall behind."

His voice was weak, and no one but himself knew what he was saying.

"How about this!"

Kitto looked up, clapped his hands lightly, as if he had made a momentous decision:

"You will be training in my wizard tower during this period of time, and I will provide you with all the resources you need for your training."

"Within two months, I'll make you a high-level wizard apprentice!"

"This..." Lynn rubbed his hands together:

"Isn't that a bad idea?"

With his current spiritual power, becoming a high-level wizard apprentice in a short time would probably strain a wizard's resources, requiring many good items.

"What's wrong with it?" Kitto asked with a smile.

"There's a price to pay for what I'm doing. You'll sign a contract later, and all the resources you've used during this time will be considered a loan. You'll pay it back once you become a full-fledged wizard. Of course... there will be interest."

"rest assured!"

"The interest rate isn't high. I believe in your potential and that you'll become a full-fledged wizard someday. Compared to becoming a full-fledged wizard, what do these things matter?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, both very satisfied.

…………

Wizard Tower.

Lynn sat cross-legged on the second floor, feeling the astral energy flowing into his body through the wizard tower with every breath.

It's like being inside a potion of magic pills.

"This is... wonderful!"

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly, a look of contentment on her face:

"The Viper Academy is definitely located near the Astral Rift, which will maximize the effectiveness of the Wizard Tower."

"Although Kito is only a first-level wizard, the effect of this wizard tower is probably no worse than the original wizard tower."

"and……"

"He really did his best to activate the wizard tower to help me cultivate."

Looking down at the bottles of potions and some rare magical potions in front of him, Lynn's smile grew even brighter.

"nice one!"

"It's all great stuff!"

"Even wizards would have a hard time collecting these things. I guess Kitto got them from other wizards. This mentor really went to great lengths to help me with my training; it's truly touching!"

With these items, Lynn estimated that he could raise his mental strength to the peak of the advanced wizard apprentice level within two months.

"Da...da..."

Footsteps sounded.

Doreen carried a wooden tray up to the second floor. The tray contained several magical foods that could aid in cultivation.

"This was prepared for you by your tutor."

Lynn didn't respond, but instead looked at the other person's legs, which were gradually corroded by rust, and said with a faint smile:

"It seems your mentor doesn't intend to save you."

"..." Doreen's eyebrows drooped:

"My mentor is quite busy lately. He will help me break the curse once he finishes his work."

"Really?" Lynn shrugged.

"That'll probably be six months from now. Can your body hold up for that long?"

?

Doreen's hands tightened slightly.

"Give."

Lynn handed over his staff.

"What do you mean?" Doreen looked up, her face full of confusion.

"The materials I used for this staff are quite good. After you refine it, it can resist curses to some extent." Lynn shrugged.

"You don't want it?"

"Of course I want it." Doreen snatched the staff, a mocking smile on her face.

"But if you think that doing this will make me betray my mentor, you're wrong. I can't betray my mentor."

"No." Lynn gently shook her head:

"I'm just making you understand that I'm clearly more humane than you are loyal to Master Kitto, aren't I?"

"in addition……"

He pointed to the booklet beside him and said:

"This is a witchcraft technique my mentor showed me. Please take it down, and remember not to peek!"

"snort!"

Doreen snorted, picked up the booklet, turned around, and went downstairs.

It glanced down at the booklet, its eyes flickered, and after confirming that no one was around, it gently turned to a page.

He then caught his breath.
