Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

Time passed.

The sixth academic year passed in the blink of an eye, and the seventh academic year began. A year had passed since Wayne and his group left the capital.

This day.

Tens of thousands of miles away in the western part of the empire, a blue whale airship is slowly flying.

Inside the control room.

Wayne sat cross-legged on the sofa, while Aurora and the others sat quietly around him, protecting him.

Suddenly, golden elemental magic manifested around Wayne and surged into his body.

This is the end.

Aurora and the others exchanged glances, seeing the understanding in each other's eyes, and realized that Wayne's second array inscription combination at level three had been successfully completed.

After half an hour.

Wayne opened his eyes, a golden light flashing within them—the outward manifestation of the golden elemental magic power strengthening his physical body.

"How is it?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne looked at Athena and nodded with a smile.

"not bad."

"The breakthrough has been successful."

Then, changing the subject, he asked a question.

"Oh, right."

Where are we now?

"Young Master, we are currently thousands of miles away from the western border. If we fly at full speed, we can reach the interior of the western region in about seven days."

Wayne nodded, stood up to stretch his body, and then said, "We can land on the western border. This time we'll travel slowly, and the original plan was to stay for two to three years."

"But plans can't keep up with changes. Since we've come to the West this time, we might as well take our time to travel around."

Everyone nodded in agreement, at which point Lei Shi suddenly spoke up, asking, "Wayne, what is your ice elemental talent?"

Upon hearing this...

Everyone looked at Wayne curiously. After resting for a few days after coming out of the Cold Spring, Wayne went into seclusion to cultivate, so no one knew what his awakened talent was.

Seeing everyone's curiosity, Wayne didn't hide anything and said in a somewhat regretful voice.

"Something is neither here nor there."

"My awakened ice element talent is called 'Ice Finger,' which allows me to condense ice elemental magic energy into spells on my fingers, ready to be used at any time."

"If I were an elemental wizard, or had the talent of ice element affinity, then this talent would be quite good. Unfortunately, I am neither. I can neither learn ice elemental spells nor have the talent of ice element affinity, so this talent is somewhat useless to me."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Seeing this, Wayne didn't seem to share their worries. For him, one more or one less wouldn't make a difference, so there was nothing to be sad about.

Therefore, we changed the subject and focused our attention on Lei Shi.

"As for you, you're covered in an indestructible light, which looks quite intimidating. Are you planning to mutate into a member of the Light Lion race?"

These words were spoken.

Lei Shi rolled his eyes. "It's all unnecessary for me to try and comfort you."

However, Lei Shi then shared his own thoughts.

"This light and flame looks intimidating. Even Senior Dragon Soul was frightened into taking a step back. We'll need it sometime when we travel the continent."

"I'm doing this for our own good."

The words fell.

Wayne glanced at Lei Shi in surprise. "I didn't realize you had such thoughts!"

At that moment, Aurora and the others burst into laughter.

"Haha, young master."

"Don't listen to Lei Shi's bragging. He just thinks this thing looks cool and wants to use that immortal aura to act like a senior."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne looked at Lei Shi and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"I knew you were unreliable."

.........

Five days later.

There is a small city in the western part of the empire near the border called "Western Weapon City". This city is inhabited by blacksmiths, even ordinary people, regardless of age or gender.

This is also the central city for the trade of tools and implements within a radius of thousands of miles.

Inside the city.

Wayne and his group were strolling around when Wayne noticed that the children on the street were all running around with miniature hammers.

I can't help but sigh.

"West City truly lives up to its reputation; even the children are carrying forging hammers."

The words fell.

Athena nodded in agreement, but then seemed to see something and spoke up.

"Look what that is?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne followed Athena's gaze and saw an old man setting up a stall not far away.

This is certainly not a strange place.

The strange thing is that there are many people watching from a distance. At least Wayne can tell that these people want it, but for some possible reason they don't get close and can only stay at a distance and watch.

Furthermore, a sign next to the old man's stall read, "Ancestral Artifact - Sub-artifact 'Compass of Desire' for Sale."

"The Compass of Desire?"

Have you heard of this?

Athena shook her head. "No, shall we go and see what happens?"

Wayne nodded.

"Of course, just from the name, you can tell it's interesting. Something this interesting is definitely worth seeing."

The two then walked forward.

After a while.

Wayne and Athena arrived at the stall, but before they could speak, the old man's voice rang out.

"Do you possess any level seven treasures?"

"Or perhaps she's carrying a dragon egg?"

"At the very least, you should have ten top-grade magic crystals; otherwise, please leave my stall."

These words were spoken.

Wayne raised an eyebrow, realizing why those people were watching so intently from afar.

Every single sentence the old man uttered was a resource, and a high-level one at that. How could an ordinary person possibly have such a resource?

Thinking this, Wayne glanced at the cards again. He was able to offer such a stake, and those people were only observing because they didn't have any.

That means this Compass of Desire is indeed worth these resources. With this thought, Wayne raised his hand and took out a top-grade magic crystal with no attributes.

"I do have top-grade magic crystals, but that depends on whether you can obtain them."

See here.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand, causing two stools to float to the front of the two people.

"Please have a seat, distinguished guests."

At that moment, Athena's voice rang out.

"The old man is quite the expert; a level four wizard, setting up a stall in this border town."

"You flatter me, senior."

"Reaching this point is already my limit. Places like the Great City, where Level 3 is as common as hairs on a cow and Level 4 is everywhere, are not places I can go."

"As for setting up a stall?"

"It's just a temporary measure; it won't last."

At this moment, Aurora and the others walked over, carrying various kinds of food.

"Young master, would you like some?"

Wayne turned to Aurora and shook his head, then turned to the old man. "These are all my companions."

He then steered the conversation back on track.

"Senior, please tell me about this Desire Compass. I'm more curious about it. We can talk about the rest after I've learned more about it."

Seeing this, the old man said no more and steered the conversation back on track.

"Can."

"The Desire Compass can point to the desired object based on the desires in its owner's heart."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne just pursed his lips, not thinking much of it, and instead questioned him.

"If you're that powerful, why did you even bother?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just follow them and go find them directly?"

The words fell.

The old man gave a wry smile. "Honorable guest, you may not know this, but if it were a level four item, then I would naturally do the same."

"But what I seek is a level seven item, therefore, I cannot afford the price of the Desire Compass."

"Secondly, level seven items definitely have guardian beasts. For me, with my level four strength, to go looking for them would be tantamount to suicide."
