Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

The words fell.

Athena also looked at Aurora, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Is it possible that during our journey through the eastern part of the empire, we purchased something that attracted the attention of some being in this forest?"

Wayne shook his head.

"The attraction between the two items is possible, but the attraction of one of their existences is uncertain."

"After all, given the current situation of the Myriad Races Continent, there are no creatures that can actively and suddenly attract a person's inner feelings from tens of thousands of meters in the air."

He then looked at Aurora.

"I think that perhaps some kind of opportunity attracted Aurora herself, and such an opportunity may require some specific conditions. Among the three of us, only Aurora met these conditions, so only Aurora felt that attraction."

"What was that opportunity?"

Wayne rolled his eyes at Athena's casual remark.

"Do you think I'm an omniscient wizard who knows everything?"

"That's just my guess."

He then turned to look at Aurora.

"That feeling helps you discern direction, or rather, which way you go, and that makes your attraction stronger. Can you feel it?"

Aurora nodded.

He turned and glanced towards the center of the forest, finally nodding.

"Can."

"I can feel that I'm heading towards the center of the forest."

Then Aurora said with some concern, "Young Master, why don't we leave? After all, this is the eastern border of the Empire, it's too dangerous."

Wayne shook his head.

"Danger?"

"How dangerous could it be?"

"In this place where level eight rule experts don't exist, we have your sister Athena, a level seven expert, and me, a pseudo-level seven expert wielding a level seven array plate."

"I don't think anyone can make a move against us. Besides, I'll eventually become a lord and face all races. Now that I have the opportunity to see things, let's see as much as we can and accumulate experience. Don't worry too much."

Upon hearing this, Aurora nodded, but didn't join in trying to persuade Wayne.

At this moment, Lei Shi suddenly spoke.

"Perhaps it's due to elemental attraction."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lei Shi, who was lying to the side, and Wayne teased him with a playful tone.

"It's amazing that you, an illiterate lion, can answer our questions. It's truly a blessing from heaven that we've broadened our horizons."

"Hahaha."

"Ha ha."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Am I not allowed to improve?"

Seeing Lei Shi's anxious look, Wayne waved his hand.

"I'm not joking anymore."

"Why do you think it's due to elemental properties?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Shi strode over to the three of them with his short legs before speaking, "If it's not the object that's attracting you, then it can only be yourself."

"And the attraction of itself is most likely the attraction of elemental attributes. The reason why I think this is just like when I sense a lightning-attribute magical plant, it will attract me."

After hearing this, the three thought about it for a moment and felt that Lei Shi was right this time, so Aurora spoke up.

"So, there's something of light in this forest that's attracting me, isn't there?"

Lei Shi nodded.

"That's most likely the case."

"However, I'm not entirely sure. After all, I was drawn there because I sensed the magical plant with the lightning element, and my instincts drew me there."

"But for someone like you, who is thousands of meters in the air and has the energy shield of an airship protecting them, to still be sensed by something that attracts them is just too outrageous."

"If your talent were fixed, I'm afraid there would be no place for the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan to survive on this Myriad Races Continent."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne asked with some curiosity, "Treasure-hunting rat?"

"Could we be finding treasure?"

Lei Shi rolled his eyes at Wayne with his purple eyes.

"Are you stupid?"

"Does the magic crystal cookie really contain magic crystals?"

He paused for a moment as he spoke.

"The term 'treasure-hunting rat' refers to their ability to find magical plants with corresponding attributes. For example, if the treasure-hunting rat is of the lightning attribute, then it has a keen sense for rare and precious materials with the lightning element."

He drooled as he spoke.

"Back when I was at level two, I encountered a fire elemental treasure-hunting rat. It was incredibly rich. After robbing it, I used those rare and precious materials to exchange for resources within the clan, and within just a few decades, I directly advanced to level five."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne chimed in. "And then, full of pride, you left the mountain, only to fall into the hands of the Snow Ape clan, right?"

"Hey, Wayne kid!"

"Don't you know that you shouldn't expose a lion's weaknesses?"

Wayne smiled.

"So I guessed right?"

"You... never mind."

"You guessed right. I had a smooth journey all the way, but when I got to the Snow Ginseng, I was completely knocked down and haven't recovered yet."

Wayne simply smiled faintly, but in his heart he felt that this was like a clash of chosen ones in a novel he had read in his previous life, where the one with stronger luck won.

Lei Shi wanted the Snow Ginseng, and so did he; the outcome was self-evident.

They then changed the subject.

"Tell me about the treasure-hunting rats you encountered, and where do they live?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Shi became quite excited.

"Let me tell you, I'm not bragging, but back then a level 2 treasure-hunting rat had quite a few level 6 rare and precious materials on it, and even a piece of level 7 fire element ore."

Then he said with a hint of regret.

"It's a pity I didn't encounter the Thunder Element Treasure Rat back then, otherwise I would have become rich."

Wayne rolled his eyes.

"Could you please stop bringing your own opinions into your speech? And you still haven't answered where treasure-hunting rats typically live."

Lei Shi rolled his eyes at Wayne, and finally said with a distinctly lewd tone, "If I had known, would it have been your turn?"

"They were all wiped out long ago."

"The Treasure-Hunting Rat clan generally lives alone after reaching adulthood. They can be found in various places across the Holy Domain Continent, which means they do not have the habit of living in groups."

Wayne nodded upon hearing this.

At this moment, Athena suddenly spoke:

"I just remembered something!"

"What is it?" Wayne asked.

Athena collected her thoughts before continuing:

"About three hundred years ago, the Dragon Empire issued a notice that appointed a three-element treasure-hunting rat from the treasure-hunting rat clan as a minister of the empire."

"so what?"

Upon hearing this, Athena continued, "So if you're asking where the treasure-hunting rats are in the entire Holy Land, I'm afraid the only place with clearly defined treasure-hunting rat populations is the Dragon Empire."

The words fell.

Wayne stroked his chin.

"That's interesting. Treasure-hunting rats sound like a perfect match for me. When I go to the Dragon Continent to contract a dragon after the academy's final exams, I can pay a visit to the Treasure-hunting rat clan."

"visit?"

"I think it's more like human trafficking!"

Wayne glared at Lei Shi in annoyance at his words.

"You damned Lei Shi, every time we leave the city, you contradict me, but the moment we get close, you turn into a lapdog. Are you an actor?"

"What do you mean, kid?"

"Such a quick change of expression."

"Hahaha."

"Giggle."

The two women couldn't help but laugh as they listened to their conversation.
