Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

Ten days later.

In a remote mountain range thousands of miles north of the Atlantis Empire.

A blue whale-shaped airship descended from the sky, and the control room door opened automatically.

Wayne was the first to step out, walk to the railing, and place his hand on it before taking in the scene before him.

Below the airship was a spring, the size of a millstone and the color of dark ice, from which water gushed forth and flowed down the only entrance stream that surrounded the mountains on three sides.

At the same time, the icy blue elemental magic manifested, making this remote valley even more dazzling and adding a touch of mystery.

"It's a nice place."

"No wonder the World's Divine Deer appeared here."

Upon hearing this...

Aurora asked a question instinctively.

"Young master, what's so nice about this place?"

Wayne was caught off guard by the question, then replied seriously, "Is that even a question?"

"Just by looking at the scenery here, you can tell it's extraordinary."

At this point, Athena took over the conversation, or rather, started explaining.

"That icy spring was created from some kind of ice-attribute rare and precious material, and it was of a very high level, because I felt a thirst for ice elements within my body."

Wayne nodded.

"Once the matter of the World Deer is resolved, we can explore it. For now, let's leave it alone."

After Athena nodded in agreement, Wayne turned his gaze to Sylvia.

"Are you sure this is the place?"

Sylvia didn't answer immediately. After sensing it again, she nodded.

"It's here."

"The divine deer will arrive here at noon two days from now."

See here.

Wayne nodded slightly.

"Then let's go down and find a place to set things up, and then find a place to wait."

He spoke lightly into the void.

The flying formation unfolded, enveloping the group and the lion, then hovered in the air and descended towards the open space below.

After a while.

As the lion and its companions landed, everyone except Athena shivered involuntarily. The next moment...

Aside from Athena, the others all activated a protective shield to shield themselves from the cold.

After doing all this, Aurora glanced in the direction of the Cold Spring and then said with some surprise.

"It seems that the ice-attribute treasure below is indeed of a very high level, otherwise, with my physical strength, I wouldn't have been affected by the overflowing cold air as soon as I got close."

Wayne nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the sheer chill is astonishing. I wonder what treasure lies beneath."

With that, Wayne withdrew his gaze, looked at the airship, and with a wave of his hand, the airship descended downwards, shrinking continuously until it finally transformed into a streak of light.

It hung on Wayne's ear.

After doing all that, Wayne turned his gaze to Sylvia.

"I'll place the array plate elsewhere to prevent the World Deer from noticing which direction it's coming from and which places it will pass through."

Sylvia explained the route while reminding Wayne.

"The divine deer has the ability to rewind time!"

Upon hearing this...

Wayne smiled wryly.

"Of course I know, and I've considered it. The reason I asked you about the route is because I wanted to place more array plates."

"By spacing out the time intervals, we can trap the divine deer. Don't worry."

Sylvia nodded.

"I see."

.........

Two days later.

That morning, Wayne and his group lay prone in the mountainside directly opposite the entrance.

The mountain was a temporary cave dwelling that Wayne and his group had carved out, located near the summit.

Since last night, no one has lit a fire, and they haven't slept all night, waiting for the appearance of the World Deer.

Through the pre-drilled hole, Wayne and the others stared intently at the entrance, eager to catch a glimpse of the World Deer.

---

outside world.

At the entrance to the valley, a deep blue spatial fluctuation slowly spread out, and a divine deer about ten meters long and six meters high appeared there.

Its entire body was blue-green, with a pair of huge ice-blue antlers on its head, and its hooves were supported by four pale blue lotus flowers.

Its bright, deer-like eyes were curiously surveying its surroundings. Finally, it sniffed the air and fixed its gaze on the ice spring.

Once it found its target, the divine deer leisurely walked towards it.

.........

Inside the mountain.

Wayne murmured, "This price tag is truly exceptional, but didn't the Divine Deer have no attributes?"

"Why does its overall color and those antlers give it such an icy feel?"

Upon hearing this, Sylvia explained.

"The divine deer did not have any attributes, but that was when they were being punished. Later, after their clan replenished the World Tree Tree, their attributes naturally returned. However, although their attributes returned, they could only cultivate and could not unleash attacks."

Wayne nodded knowingly.

As the group was talking, the divine deer arrived at the edge of the cold spring, and just then, a mature woman's voice echoed through the valley.

"Secret Technique: Freeze Heaven and Earth"

The words fell.

Athena descended from the sky and hovered above the center of the valley, simultaneously casting her innate spell model.

Countless dense ice elemental magic manifested, constantly freezing into ice and spreading throughout the valley.

Soon the icy pool at the center was also frozen, and the ice spread toward the World Deer on the side.

The divine deer panicked for a moment, then took a sudden step backward, retreating three meters away.

At the same time, he looked up at the sky and sang a long song.

A clear, ethereal deer cry echoed through the empty valley and among the mountains.

at the same time.

Wayne and the others watched as if they were watching a rewind, as the spreading ice elemental magic continuously degenerated from ice into ice elemental magic, and Athena gradually rose into the air.

See here.

The world's divine deer, already panting, still lightly treads the ground with its hooves, causing spatial ripples to unfold.

They tried to flee upon seeing the divine deer.

Without further ado, Wayne activated a level seven array plate located not far from the Divine Deer.

A massive energy shield silently rose up, while an energy projectile was fired at the divine deer.

The intention was to interrupt their departure.

Inside the valley, Aurora kicked a boulder, which flew out and shot outwards.

A loud bang was heard very soon.

At this moment, Wayne and the others came out and looked at the only entrance, which was blocked by a boulder kicked away by Aurora.

Lei Shi's voice rang out.

"The knight is really strong. Look at that silly deer, still looking over there, wasting a few more seconds of his time."

The words fell.

The divine deer, its spellcasting interrupted, withdrew its gaze and looked up at the spot where Wayne and the others were standing.

Who are you?

"How dare you treat the World Tree's subordinate races like this? Aren't you afraid of incurring the World Tree's wrath?"

At this moment, Athena's figure silently descended from the sky, and a reprimanding voice rang out again.

"Secret Technique: Freeze Heaven and Earth"

The words fell.

The game begins here, but this time it's different from before. It only reverses halfway, and before even Athena can be affected, it ends abruptly.

See here.

The melting ice spread here, but this time the divine deer had no power to resist and its entire body was frozen, leaving only its head outside.

See here.

Athena clapped her hands and looked at Wayne.

"Done."

As he spoke, he landed beside Wayne.

Looking down from his vantage point at the frozen World Deer, Wayne couldn't help but sigh.

"Judging by its strength, it is only a level 5 magical beast, but it can even affect level 7 experts. No wonder it is known as the World Divine Deer."

"It lives up to its reputation."
