Wizard's Journey

Chapter 696 Moving Forward Steadily!

This was an unfamiliar, first-level old wizard, with pale hair, a weakened soul fire, and dry, wrinkled skin.

"It must be over six thousand years old..."

Looking at the old wizard in the underground chamber of the city lord's mansion, Green had this perception.

The old wizard, however, was unaware of Green's arrival and was still engrossed in studying the unknown powder on the experimental table.

The bookshelves are filled with ancient books, some with yellowed paper protected by wax, some with hides of unknown animals, some with damaged fragments, and some even with ancient wizarding script carved on wooden boards and stone slabs.

The bluestone altar had a musty smell, as if it hadn't been used for many years.

As Green strolled through the enormous underground laboratory, he naturally began flipping through the books on magic and sorcery on the shelves. At first, Green was simply curious, but after only a short while, his expression gradually became solemn and serious!

"Reflections on the Qualitative Change Rules of Triassic Impact Elements", "Study on Nuclear Implosion Reactions After Element Arrangement Leverages the Twenty-Five-Time Rule", "Relative Calculation of the Thread of Time and Spatial Distance", "The Power of Void on the Order Rules of the Endless World", "On the Proof of the Three-Dimensional Dimensions of the Endless World"...

This knowledge of wizardry is extremely advanced theoretical research knowledge, not to mention a mere first-level wizard, even for a third-level great wizard like Grimm, or even a typical holy mark wizard.

But these witchcraft books actually appeared in the laboratory of a mere first-level old wizard!

Green's first thought was that the old wizard had discovered some ancient high-level wizard's secret laboratory.

"We finally succeeded!"

Just then, the old wizard, who was carefully studying the mysterious powder on the experimental table, let out a joyful exclamation. He then carefully used an exquisite metal spoon to collect the powder into a crystal bottle, his cloudy but wise eyes shining with anticipation.

"Using the Butterfly Rain Powder for mystical guidance, one gram of essence extracted from 120 kilograms of Odom Bone Demon marrow should be the Bone Demon Essence mentioned by the ancient wizards. Let's see if we can communicate with that great world that even the ancient wizards marveled at."

The old wizard muttered to himself, clearly having achieved some significant experimental results, and in terms of the depth of his knowledge alone, he had far surpassed the level of ordinary wizards.

One crystal after another was inlaid into the altar according to certain energy rules. After the old wizard checked it for a while and confirmed that there was no problem with the altar, he took out the crystal ball. The crystal ball reflected the face of the little girl that Green had seen before.

"Cappuccino, come to me."

"oh."

The girl, covered in sweat, agreed and turned off the crystal ball.

A moment later, as the magic circle door to the secret chamber opened, the girl rushed into the underground laboratory, muttering, "Grandpa, what's wrong now?"

Grandpa?

This old wizard must have realized that his life was coming to an end and began to consciously spread his life force, intending to pass on his knowledge.

Such behavior is common in the wizarding world.

As far as Green knew, his second uncle, D'Artagnan, had already begun such follow-up preparations during the Institute Wars.

"You really don't know how to cherish your talent. You just play around like crazy every day. When will this ever end?"

The old wizard tapped the girl's forehead in exasperation.

"The path of a wizard is endless. With your innate talent of twenty-six points of spiritual power in the world's will, once you advance to become a formal wizard, you will be able to mobilize the power of the world. In the wizarding world, you will be a great being comparable to a level three grand wizard, and you will be able to freely enter and leave the wizarding world, possessing a dual path of evolution: wizarding knowledge and world guardian. Once those wizarding academies find out, countless holy-marked wizards will personally descend to vie for your disciples and students, and perhaps even true spirit wizards will be very interested..."

A talent for the will of the world!?

Beside the bookshelf, beneath the Mask of Truth, Grimm's breath quickened, and his gaze toward the girl became increasingly intense.

Aside from the talent of natural power, which is considered the highest talent for wizards in the wizarding world, almost all other talents among wizarding apprentices that include the word "world" are excellent talents second only to natural power.

The Black Wizard Hattori Mizo's World Blood talent grants him the ability to disappear into any natural substance in the world, making him unpredictable and ever-changing. It is even possible that Hattori Mizo's control of Raffi's 'mutated mother-child symbiotic worm' was based on this talent, which led to the terrifying Black magic that terrified the lower-level wizards of District 12 back then.

Besides his ability to bear the power of annihilation with his physical body, Green guessed that the greatest potential for the development of his World Garment talent lay in forcibly descending into other worlds.

The two strongest forces preventing advanced life forms from entering the world are the World Garment and the Balance Rules.

But now, the little girl in front of Green is actually a talent of world will...

Of course, it should be described as a talent of will in the wizarding world. Wizards with such talents will have the ability to mobilize the power of the world like world guardians, and will be able to freely enter and leave the wizarding world without the flaw of world guardians being bound to the world itself.

"What a lucky little girl..."

Green sighed.

Although intelligence determines a wizard's achievements, as the wizard Dila once said in the port of Zerato, good talent does not hinder a wizard's research into knowledge; on the contrary, it helps a wizard advance on the path of wizardry.

On the other side, the little girl pouted, clearly not enjoying her grandfather's lecture.

The old wizard sighed, half-coaxing his granddaughter, "Alright, alright, come on, let's see if the communication materials for the Bone Demon World that Grandpa just prepared today have worked. As long as we successfully communicate with this otherworldly realm this time, I can announce to Dawn Wisdom that the research has succeeded, and then hahahaha..."

Laughing loudly, the old wizard led his granddaughter to the altar. After activating the altar's energy crystal, the old wizard casually sprinkled bone demon powder into the air.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

The hall was shaking violently.

However, after a while, there was no unusual activity on the altar. Abchino, who had initially been somewhat hopeful, grumbled, "Looks like you've failed again, Grandpa."

After saying that, the little girl sighed and left the laboratory, muttering as she walked, "Grandpa, Father told you not to always study those advanced knowledge. The path of a wizard should be taken step by step, gradually expanding and progressing from the shallow to the deep. Otherwise, with your wisdom, you might have already become a level three great wizard."

The old wizard looked at the empty altar, shook his head, and seemed equally disappointed before following the girl away.

fail!?

Beneath the surface of truth, Green, through his three-eighteenths of a second of time perception, saw an anomaly in one-eighteenth of a time jump!

Beneath the constantly flickering spatial rift on the altar in front of him, a pair of skeletal hands were struggling to open the rift, and a powerful creature was sensing its way toward the altar.
