Chương 15: Chapter 12 Lynn: I Know This One! (Request for Continued Reading)

After a whole night of rushing, everyone present was exhausted. Once Johnny finished speaking, they each went to rest.

Of course, Lynn was no exception. He chose a room that looked somewhat decent, pushed the broken door closed, and lay down on the dusty wooden bed without caring.

For the past week since he crossed over, Lynn's nerves had been tense. He had slept with one eye open, fearing that soldiers might rush in at any moment and kill him. Now, he could finally relax a bit.

"Greenriel..."

Lynn murmured about the Wizard Land that Johnny had mentioned. Unlike Will and the others, who were suspicious, he didn't find it strange that a group of wizards who knew magic would band together to occupy a piece of land and immerse themselves in the study of magic.

Or rather, he thought it was completely normal. On the contrary, the church, with its religious theology, seemed incredibly strange to him.

For Lynn, going to the Wizard Land was undoubtedly an excellent choice. In a place that valued magic and knowledge, he could better utilize his advantages without worrying about being captured one day.

Within the Sekas Empire, which was controlled by the church, he probably couldn't even find a place to peacefully farm and advance technology.

If God really descended, there'd be nowhere to appeal, even creating anti-matter weapons might not solve anything...

Weighing the pros and cons, Lynn temporarily gave up the idea of going alone, but a lingering concern still loomed over his mind.

He didn't think that the sense of danger he had felt in the dense forest earlier was an illusion.

Johnny, Bai Ge, Will, Buck, Barton... One by one, their figures flashed through Lynn's mind.

In the six months since he became a wizard apprentice, his relationships with these people had been shallow, and there were no grudges, so he could basically rule out the possibility of personal vendettas.

As for who the attacker was?

Lynn thought about it and first ruled out Johnny.

It wasn't because of some lingering goodwill from his original self but because she was the least suspicious.

As the apparent leader of the apprentices and the proposer of the escape plan, if she surrendered, he might as well run away.

Next was Bai Ge. Her ability to control animals was crucial, acting as the team's eyes and ears. If someone like that changed sides, it would be a nightmare.

The parchment that had warned him earlier was written by Johnny and delivered by Bai Ge controlling a gray crow. If either of them had problems, Carl would probably have died before Lynn crossed over.

Lynn hesitated over the remaining three. Buck and Barton were twin brothers; they could cover for each other and deceive Johnny and the others easily.

At least, the taciturn Will was someone he knew even less about, only that he was the offspring of an earl in the Sekas Empire.

Lynn closed his eyes and recalled every detail of his interactions with the other wizard apprentices, then thought of the secret passage in the [Drunkard's] tavern, old York, Wizard Land, and the crippled Laud...

Vaguely, a guess flashed through his mind. Lynn suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, a cold feeling slowly rising in his heart.

Click~

Just at that moment, the creaking sound of a door hinge turning came, and the slightly ajar door was pushed open.

Already on guard, Lynn instinctively drew his longsword from his waist and slashed towards the door.

Seeing the person clearly, Lynn's hand movement suddenly stopped, the sharp blade hovering in front of the girl.

"Johnny?" Lynn was a bit surprised.

The silver-gray-haired witch raised her right hand to block the sword edge. It was then that Lynn noticed she was wearing a pure black leather glove on her right hand, inscribed with complex and mysterious symbols.

It seemed to be some kind of alchemy tool.

"Had a nightmare?" The silver-gray-haired witch frowned slightly, not understanding why Lynn reacted so violently. She paused before explaining again. "I knocked on the door just now, but you didn't respond."

Lynn nodded, sheathed his sword, and asked puzzledly, "It's so late, is something wrong?"

"My teacher mentioned earlier that once you mastered the one-ring spell [Frost Blade], I should give this to you." Johnny said dejectedly, taking a two-finger-thick book from her bosom and handing it to Lynn. The cover had the words [Basic Magic Compendium] scrawled in common language.

Curious, Lynn took it. The book was made of rough papyrus. Opening the first page, the first spell recorded was [Magic Missiles].

Similar to [Elementary Material Decompilation Skill], [Magic Missiles] was a special category of zero-ring magic, with lesser power than [Frost Blade] and [Fireball Technique]. The benefit was that [Magic Missiles] were purely magical constructs, requiring no pre-prepared casting materials and having no control limit.

Theoretically, as long as there was enough magic power, creating hundreds of [Magic Missiles] at once was not impossible.

Of course, sheer quantity was useless. Any wizard's focus was limited. Wizard apprentices managing to create and control two or three missiles for attack was already their limit; otherwise, they'd easily get distracted in battle.

But there was a solution.

Flipping through the book, Lynn found the second page of the [Basic Magic Compendium] filled with numerous curve diagrams along with many Helram-like symbols below.

After some detailed research, Lynn understood roughly what it was trying to convey.

To break the control limit of [Magic Missiles], one needed to construct a three-dimensional coordinate system centered on oneself in the mind and pre-set the flight paths of the [Magic Missiles].

The flight paths could be straight lines or curves, meaning a spellcaster could create numerous [Magic Missiles], forming overwhelming, hard-to-resist barrages from different directions and angles.

This required the use of straight-line and curve equations in three-dimensional space...

Lynn stroked his chin, this problem didn't seem too difficult...

Since [Magic Missiles] were pure magical constructs, they were minimally affected by gravity, needing consideration of only inertial force and wind speed.

Seeing Lynn's deep interest in the pages, Johnny couldn't help but remind him. "This is a spell formula created by Grand Wizard Helram, further enhancing the power of [Magic Missiles]. However, it's too difficult for us right now. You shouldn't waste too much energy on it."

"I'll be careful." Lynn responded fluently, closing the book after confirming his thoughts were correct.

Johnny saw Lynn's dismissive attitude and helplessly shook her head. When she first encountered magic, she too loved studying these complex formulas until she hit a wall and became more self-aware...

(PS: A new week, asking for recommendations, monthly tickets, and continued reading.)

Chương 16: Chapter 13: The Time is Tonight!

"You should get some rest early tonight. It will take us many days to get to the Wizard City by boat. There's plenty of time to learn new magic," Johnny said, seeing that he couldn't persuade Lynn. He gave a final reminder before turning to leave.

"Wait... Johnny!" Lynn tucked the "Basic Magic Manual" into his coat and, recalling his earlier suspicion, stopped her.

"What is it? Is there something else?" The silver-haired witch halted her steps.

"Are you sure that no one else knows about our hideout, aside from us?" Lynn asked once more.

"You suspect that someone among us might have sided with the Church?" Johnny's expression became serious. She naturally understood Lynn's implication and had the same suspicion. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head. "That's impossible!"

"Before you arrived in Wuer Town, we had already been in this village for an entire week... The dangerous tasks of gathering intelligence and purchasing supplies were all drawn by lots,"

She had also used these opportunities to test everyone. The fact that they had not encountered any pursuit from the Church so far was the best proof!

This did not surprise Lynn. He directly and unequivocally retorted,

"Have you considered that the Church's primary target might not be us?"

Lynn knew very well that if there was an insider, the only reason they hadn't acted yet was to gain a larger benefit...

Johnny was taken aback, her face full of confusion.

"Lame Laud... The route to Greenreel, this is the Church's true objective!" Lynn stated each word with precision.

He didn't know what kind of relationship the old York from the Drunken Tavern and Kro had, that made them willing to help these wizard apprentices, but one thing was certain!

Such a hidden passage, directly leading out of the city, could not have been specifically created for them!

In other words, old York was highly likely a spy planted by the Wizard Land in the Nordland Territory, and helping them to set sail, Laud was undoubtedly a more important figure.

Lynn could imagine how many wizards had entered the Sekas Empire through this route over these years, and how many boats loaded with materials had sailed from the ports of the Nordland Territory to the Wizard City...

In comparison, capturing these few wizard apprentices was insignificant, merely to pacify the Nordland Duke's emotions. This might explain why they continually faced pursuit from the Church outside, yet were safe once they entered Wuer Town!

With Lynn's prompting, Johnny immediately understood the point, her complexion changed instantly.

As such, the Church had probably already been aware of their movements, simply holding back, waiting for them to act, and then capturing everyone in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this sent a chill down Johnny's spine. At this moment, they were like birds stepping into a trap, waiting for the hunter to raise his butcher's knife.

Johnny bit her lip and remained silent for a long time, unable to think of a way out.

"So what should we do?"

After putting forth the question, the young girl did not expect any answer from Lynn. In this situation where they were besieged from all sides, it was near despair.

How could a group of apprentices who couldn't even trust each other escape the Church's meticulously woven net?

However, Lynn spoke up.

"It's simple... Wait!"

"Wait?" Lynn's answer took Johnny by surprise.

"You just revealed the plan about the boat and the information about Laud to them, and we're preparing to set off tomorrow. At that time, everyone will be under mutual surveillance, so..." Lynn asserted decisively, "Tonight is the best opportunity to pass on the message!"

...

"Squeak, squeak——"

When the moonlight crossed the thirteenth star, Will woke up to the sound of mice. The dry straw on the hard wooden bed pricked his back like needles and razors.

Will struggled to sit up and saw a few mice gnawing on a half piece of black bread beside his discarded robe. Their long tongues hung from their mouths, and their black, grimy toes left marks on the blue robe.

"Damn it, you filthy vermin, scum!" Will kicked out in anger, sending the dirty black bread flying. He cursed venomously for minutes before calming down, then picked up his robe and cautiously pushed open the door.

The side hall was pitch-dark, devoid of any figures. At this time, everyone except the night watchman Bai Ge should have been resting.

Will did not dare to stay any longer. He hurriedly walked through the corridor and entered a secluded storage room, closing the door behind him.

The old wooden door creaked noisily. Thanks to the mercenaries who stormed in, all the locks in the manor had been violently broken. The entire storage room was in disarray, dusty wooden floors, chairs, and cabinets tipped over.

Will nervously crouched down and moved the piled-up debris in the corner, revealing a strange rhombic pattern etched on the dusty floor.

When the apprentices took the elective classes for advanced studies, Johnny chose elements, Bai Ge chose spiritual energy, and he mastered alchemy!

Sailing, port, Laud...

Will carved one character after another into the center of the array. Then, he placed magic stones within the four circles of the array. A faint glow gradually emerged, extending along the outline of the array...

Just as the glimmer was about to envelop the entire array, a sharp whistling sound pierced the quiet room. A Frost Blade embedded itself in the corner of the magic array, instantly dimming its radiant light.

"Who?" Will was startled, falling to the floor, terror filling his eyes as he looked towards the direction of the intruder.

The slightly ajar door had been fully opened without him noticing. Johnny's gaze was filled with disappointment and confusion.

"Why did you betray us, Will?" The hot-tempered Buck charged forward, grabbing Will by the collar and punching his face. "Answer me!"

"Why?" Will sneered, shoving Buck away, wiping the blood from his mouth, and said excitedly, "You ask me why?"

"I am Will Isk, the second son of the Imperial Earl!"

"If not for that idiot Kro, I should have been living in the manor of the Isk Territory, attending luxurious high-society gatherings, enjoying delicious food and servants' service. I would have inherited part of my father's territory and become a Baron Lord of the Sekas Empire!"

"But now? We can only gnaw on black bread that only peasants eat, sleep in filthy, rat-infested ruins." Will cursed hysterically, "I've had enough!"

"Kro is a madman, a demon! He taught us the knowledge of devils, turning us from noble aristocrats into a bunch of bugs hiding in dark corners..."
