I am a mage, with an infinite mana bar!

【Darkness Spell】, a transformation spell, creates a dark area that cannot be dispelled by natural light.

This magic was also used when Rigel transformed into a swollen monster and teleported from the treetops to attack him.

Unfortunately, Lynn's knowledge of dark magic was only vague and he couldn't understand it no matter what he did.

When he forced his way in, he felt his spirit being suddenly stung.

It seems that I must study the magic books step by step and improve my understanding of magic before I can digest this knowledge.

This is also an essential path for spellcasters. In order to learn higher-level magic in a short period of time, one must first receive guidance from experienced predecessors, and spellbooks contain this important guiding knowledge.

Of course, depending on the quality, the amount of knowledge that can be written in a magic book varies greatly.

If one lacks comprehension or the person who created the magic book is technically incompetent, it will increase the difficulty of learning.

This is also a major reason why Lynn was willing to accept the commission from old man Barton.

After all, it was a spellbook made by an experienced old mage, and it must contain profound magical knowledge!

This has nothing to do with job rank. If Lynn had to choose between a spellbook of the same ring created by a young elite mage and one created by an old, senior mage, he would definitely choose the latter.

Because the former are necessarily more talented, but not necessarily good at passing on their experience to others. They can even make a simple first-level magic book so complex and profound that it's like a book written in heaven, making people feel depressed.

The latter has cultivated his expertise in the field of magic for many years and knows how to impart knowledge in a simple and easy-to-understand way. He has accumulated far more experience than the former.

Therefore, the magical world truly respects the elderly and cherishes the young, where both young geniuses and elderly mediocre individuals can shine in their respective fields.

Lynn's thoughts wandered.

At that moment, the "Root Codex" in front of him suddenly flipped open, revealing a line of distorted text.

[Fusion Magic - Illusory Aura Unlock Progress 3/4]

[Fusing Materials: Light Dance; Demonic Fire; Darkness; Day/Night Isolation]

[Effect: Allows for free manipulation of light within a certain range]

Lynn blinked, both surprised and delighted, and carefully read the contents of the text.

Fusion magic? What is that? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing!

Based on the original owner's memories, there was no information about "fusion magic". Could this be something exclusive to the "Root Magic Codex"?

Lynn suppressed his joy. He suddenly realized that the surprises hidden in this magical book were far greater than he had imagined!

As for the "unclear day and night" mentioned earlier, Lynn happens to know that it is a second-circle magic recorded in the book "Complete Record of Magic Below the Third Circle"!

He immediately decided that after reporting the findings of his investigation to Old Man Barton, he would ask him for a magic book that could change the day and night!

……

After daybreak, the group packed their belongings and set off back to the city.

With Charlotte's pack of wolves escorting them, they no longer needed to hide and proceed cautiously as they had on their way there. With Eli's "Big Steps" assistance, they returned to Colin Town in just half a day.

"Aren't you going to the Magic Association first?" Liam said to Lynn with narrowed eyes on Lucky Street. "I don't like those arrogant guys. Never mind, I'll leave the report to you. The three of us will go and take this girl home first."

He pointed to the blonde girl they had rescued, who was in a dazed state.

The three clearly didn't want to waste time reporting on such matters, and as he spoke, he looked at Eli with a smile.

"Huh?" Eli tilted his head, not understanding why this halfling was staring at him.

Lynn immediately whispered a reminder: "Um... the payment for this commission..."

Eli suddenly realized what was going on and quickly took out four exquisite little bags from his staff, distributing them to Lynn, Liam, and the others.

Lynn smiled and thanked him, calmly putting away his money pouch. Urshi, who was pale-faced, did the same.

The remaining two teammates weren't so dignified. They couldn't wait to open their money bags, and after confirming that there were indeed 10 gold coins inside, they were overjoyed.

This money is enough for them to live happily for a while.

After the three left, Charlotte gave her friend a meaningful look, sighed inwardly, and said nothing.

Eli hasn't inherited any of the family's wealth yet, so she's not exactly rich. It'll probably take her quite a while to save up those 40 gold coins.

The three of them entered the Magic Association together and met Old Man Barton without any trouble.

As agreed beforehand, Lynn was responsible for recounting his previous experiences. He truthfully described the various anomalies he encountered in the Whispering Forest, but he did not mention that the dark elf Rigel and Charlotte seemed to have a closer relationship, as he was worried that this would bring unnecessary trouble to Charlotte.

Barton's expression grew increasingly grave. Finally, he looked at Charlotte with a strange expression and said, "You wouldn't happen to be that Farin's student, would you?"

Seeing Charlotte nod, he made a series of "crunching" sounds from his back teeth, paced around the room twice, and finally flicked his sleeve.

"Fine, since he sent you, it means this matter is quite related to your Green Tower," he pointed at Charlotte and emphasized twice, "Tell Farino that this matter must be handled properly and cannot affect the safety of Colin Town."

Lynn seemed thoughtful. Judging from the tone of old man Barton, it seemed that he wanted to leave the follow-up to Green Tower.

Indeed, Riegl is clearly connected to the Green Tower, and the cause of his mutation has not yet been determined...

But Barton, as a member of the Magic Association, had official authority and responsibility, and the speed of this change in attitude left Lynn somewhat bewildered.

Fortunately, Eli quietly pulled Lynn aside and whispered, "Ms. Charlotte has a terrible temper, no, I should say it's extremely terrible."

So, Patton didn't want to get involved in this mess and provoke Green Tower.

It seems that the work of the Magic Association is really not easy. If it's just a small matter, it's fine, but if it involves events related to the major mage towers, then it becomes quite troublesome to manage.

At this moment, Barton smiled and said to Lynn, "Lynn, you did a great job this time. Have you decided which spellbook you want?"

"Does this mean I've already completed my mission to investigate the corrupt cult?" Lynn was somewhat surprised.

Old man Patton, however, had his own thoughts.

The task of commissioning Lynn to investigate the Corruption Cult was already a test, but Lynn not only brought news, but also turned the tide and resolved a crisis that could have endangered the Whispering Forest and threatened Colin Town, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

But he didn't show much appreciation in front of a young member of Green Tower.

Besides his bad temper, Farino is also a fanatic about taking on apprentices. He tries to recruit anyone with decent potential he sees on the road. Luckily, he's always in Roan City... Barton thought to himself.

He had already planned that once Lynn learned second-circle magic, he would immediately arrange an entrance exam for him as a mage. With his talent, it would be a piece of cake for him, and then he could naturally bring him into the White Tower to learn.

Thinking this, Lynn said, "Mr. Barton, may I have a copy of 'Day and Night'?"

"'Day and Night Unknown'?" Barton's expression faltered slightly. "Mental magic? Heh, that's not exactly my area of ​​expertise. If you want protective magic, I can give you a high-quality second-circle spellbook."

But he didn't dwell on it and nodded easily, saying, "No problem, I'll send someone to let you know within a week."

Lynn immediately thanked him with a smile, and after chatting for a few minutes, the three of them left the Magic Association together.

Eli and Charlotte had booked a carriage as soon as they arrived in Colin, and the carriage was already waiting on the street.

The two of them were preparing to return to Luo'an City.

Eli smiled sweetly and said gracefully, "Lynn, I'll write to you. Will you still be staying at the Iris Inn for a while?"

"Yes," Lynn sighed inwardly. He still had more than ten days left on his lease. "I'll be staying until the end of this month."

"Okay, goodbye then." She blinked her green eyes, nodded gently, and then lightly jumped onto the carriage.

Charlotte followed behind her, her gaze shifting between the two of them. As they parted, she said to Lynn meaningfully:

"Lynn, I believe we'll see each other again soon."

Taking the opportunity, Lynn took out the letter that Carlisle had given him and handed it to Charlotte, saying, "Someone asked me to give this to you."

He didn't say much. He had no intention of getting involved in the matter between the two of them; he only agreed because of the reward of the "Potion of Destiny".

Charlotte glanced at it, accepted it without making a sound, nodded slightly to Lynn, and then climbed into the carriage.

Accompanied by the clatter of hooves, the carriage sped away.
