Lord Wizard: Starting your studies with infinite magic crystals!

Upon hearing this...

Wayne raised an eyebrow slightly.

"So you transferred the Compass of Desire for your grandson's sake?"

The old man nodded slightly, then looked at Wayne expectantly. Wayne chuckled softly at this.

He asked in return.

"Ask your grandson if he's interested in becoming a member of my Dragon Knights."

"The Dragon Knights?"

"My name is Wayne, and I come from the Lord's Wizard Academy in the Imperial Capital. I currently have a reserve dragon knight order under my command. If you're interested, we can make a deal."

The old man was somewhat agitated.

"Of course, of course."

"Why don't you ask your grandson?"

"No need, I've made the decision. It's such a great opportunity, even a fool would know which one to choose."

Wayne nodded upon seeing this.

With a thought, the badge on his chest flashed with light.

After a while.

General Derry's projection appeared next to Wayne.

"Long time no see, young master."

"Uncle, it's been a long time."

"Father!"

After speaking, General Derry nodded to Wayne, then turned to look at Aurora. Sensing her level and the special aura emanating from her, General Derry smiled.

"Aurora, it seems you've had a good year."

"Yes, Father, I'm fine."

After catching up, General Derry looked at Wayne.

"Young Master, is there something you need?"

Wayne nodded.

"This old man has a grandson who happens to have something that I've taken a liking to, and what he needs is a dragon egg."

"I plan to enroll his grandson as a member of the Dragon Knights. When they go to the capital, they will need your help to make arrangements."

General Delhi chuckled upon hearing this. "I thought it was something serious. This is simple. Once we get to the capital, just have them go to Delhi's house to find me."

He paused for a moment as he spoke.

"Should we give you the dragon egg now, or how?"

Upon hearing this...

Wayne chuckled. "Of course I can't give it to them now. After they arrive in the capital, if they can't wait, I'll take them to the academy's exchange office to exchange one. I've already left some magic crystals with your aunt."

"If you're willing to wait, then wait until I go back and choose a contract from the dragon eggs in my secret realm."

After making the arrangements, Wayne looked at the old man.

"This is General Deli, a seventh-level Holy Dragon Knight. You can find out where he lives when you get to the capital."

"How about this deal?"

The old man nodded excitedly. "Satisfied, very satisfied. Thank you on behalf of my grandson."

Then, they steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"Let's transfer it now."

"Aren't you afraid I'll change my mind?"

The old man chuckled softly. "Someone as important as you, whose words are law, has no need to deceive us insignificant people."

"Of course, I have also prepared a Holy Domain Contract."

Upon hearing this...

Wayne rolled his eyes.

"You say far more flattering things than anything else."

"Never mind, what's required for the transfer?"

The old man waved his hand.

"Just one drop of blood will do, please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he gently raised his hand, and a flash of cyan light appeared, while a black-gold compass emerged from his body.

Clearly, this is the "Compass of Desire".

At this moment, the old man's face suddenly turned ashen, and the compass lost its light and fell silently to the ground.

"Are you alright?"

The old man waved his hand, handed over the compass, and then spoke.

"It's alright, please excuse the guests."

"The bloodline imprint within the Compass of Desire has been erased by me. After you return home, you can use it after you have sworn an oath of allegiance with your own blood."

Seeing this, Wayne reached out and took it, while casually tossing the top-grade magic crystal he had taken out to the old man.

"What brings you here, guest?"

"Don't overthink it. This is for your medical expenses and the travel expenses for you and your grandson to go to the capital."

Upon hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly, without mentioning the Holy Domain Contract again.

He got up to say goodbye and was about to leave.

But Wayne stopped the old man. "Bring out the Sanctuary Contract, sign it before you leave."

"How could I trouble my guests?"

Wayne rolled his eyes. "You're not afraid I'll run away, I'm more afraid you'll run away."

of course.

There was something Wayne didn't say: he wanted to use the will of the Sanctuary to test this so-called Compass of Desire.

He then looked at Aurora.

"Aurora, take out a blank Sanctuary scroll. I'll tell you what to write."

Aurora nodded.

He then took out a scroll and a pen, and Wayne's voice rang out.

"Firstly, I obtained the Compass of Desire, and in return, I gave a dragon egg to the grandson of the signatory."

"Secondly, the trader has clearly stated that he knows the information about the Desire Compass."

Thirdly, is the compass of desire ownerless?

The words fell.

Aurora finished writing that as well.

"Young Master, that's enough."

Wayne nodded, then casually bit his finger and flicked a drop of blood onto the Sanctuary scroll.

Then his gaze fell on the old man.

"It's your turn."

The old man wasn't angry at all; instead, he did the same thing as Wayne.

As the Holy Domain Contract burned, that unseen gaze descended, and Wayne smiled inwardly.

But it didn't show.

"The transaction is complete. Goodbye, sir."

The old man nodded slightly and bowed.

Thank you again for your generosity.

Wayne didn't reply, he just waved his hand and turned to look at Aurora and the others.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first, then we'll talk about other things."

As he spoke, he walked towards the city.

.........

An hour later.

In an open-air barbecue terrace on the upper floor of a hotel in the city, Wayne and his group had the entire place to themselves and sat around.

They're having a barbecue right now.

At this moment, Athena, unable to contain her curiosity, looked at the servant who was walking away and spoke up.

"Wayne, what's so special about this Compass of Desire?"

"You insist on making a deal?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Wayne, who was playing with and studying the Compass of Desire beside Athena.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Wayne averted his eyes from the Compass of Desire and then explained.

"Of course it's special."

"There are two special features. First, the Desire Compass is like a bloodline alchemy item that can be stored in the body, but it is not specific; rather, it can be transferred to another owner."

"Secondly, He has no master."

Upon hearing this...

Athena still worriedly said, "What's so special about this? It's just a bloodline alchemy item, and it's been debonded from its bloodline bond, so of course it doesn't have a master."

"I'll say it again, this thing is too sinister, I don't recommend you do the blood oath."

Wayne chuckled softly.

"But bloodline alchemy items cannot have their bloodline binding changed without alchemy techniques being performed, which is what makes them so special."

"Secondly, when the Sanctuary Contract was signed, the last part I wrote was very vague. Do you guys remember what it was?"

"The compass of desire is masterless."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wayne snapped his fingers at Aurora.

"That's right, the scope is too broad, but the Sanctuary Contract was still successfully signed."

"Then there are two possible outcomes."

"Or, the so-called 'compass of desire is ownerless' refers to the fact that the compass of desire in my hand is ownerless."

"Or it refers to the ancestral artifact of the Desire Compass, that is, the source of the Desire Compass which is now ownerless."

The words fell.

Lei Shi's voice rang out.

"So what does this tell us?"

Wayne rolled his eyes at Lei Shi. "You'd better swallow the meat in your mouth first."

He explained.

"This excludes human manipulation and also indirectly proves that this so-called ancestral artifact really exists."

Following Wayne's train of thought, Aurora finally asked the question that concerned her.

"Young master, but that can't hide its sinister nature, though I don't care about that."

"What I care about is how the young master plans to use it, so that we can minimize the danger and, ideally, kill the so-called cause with a single sword strike. That way, if the cause is gone, there will naturally be no effect."
