Chapter 63

How do you feel now? Lynn noticed Laurens unusual state and inquired.

I dont know, but this crystal has a strong attraction to me. I feel like my entire body is calling out, Lauren said breathlessly.

Well, let me study this thing thoroughly first, Lynn replied.

Lauren closed his eyes, suppressing the inner craving.

Lynn turned his head, observing the scales on Laurens chest that slightly raised. It seemed that this crystal, filled with divinity, had a strong attraction to beings with bloodlines like Lauren.

But why didnt he feel that attraction himself?

His slender fingers casually played with the crystal of divinity. In the candlelight, the divine crystal reflected a deep gold in Lynns dark eyes.

Divinity was a rare material, and even though Lynn currently lacked the qualifications to research it, it didnt mean he wouldnt in the future.

Although his understanding was limited, Lynn knew that directly bestowing divinity upon someone was the most rudimentary use.

Five fingers closed, and a silver glow emanated from the silver-gray ring on Lynns index finger, causing the crystal of divinity to disappear into his palm.

In the following days, Lynn, aboard the ship, entered Wizard Harins room daily to collaborate on experiments. Perhaps intentionally cultivated by Harin, Lynn sometimes assisted in minor auxiliary steps, such as peeling off certain materials.

Unfortunately, this level of participation in experiments didnt count as part of his daily tasks, which Lynn found regrettable. It seemed that only experiments he personally led would be considered daily tasks.

Upon learning that Lynn had become Wizard Harins assistant, many wizards on the ship bombarded him with temptations, invitations, and even threats.

However, the temptations from these people were too low-level, and Lynn expressed that any seasoned public servants wouldnt succumb to such tests.

Bringing Lauren and Bowa along had been somewhat accidental, but Lynn considered it a stroke of luck. Trust, after all, was elusive and ephemeral. Lynn never believed in love-at-first-sight loyalty, he believed that time alone could prove everything.

Through the months of interaction with Lauren, Lynn felt that, for the time being, Lauren was worthy of a certain degree of trust. A person who treated his wife with such kindness couldnt be all bad. Lynn also understood why he saw many noble wizard apprentices accompanied by their own entourages.

These attendants were likely to become the backbone or confidants of these wizard apprentices in the future. Many of them were professionals, nurtured from a young age, wielding extraordinary abilities. Before the wizard apprentices matured, they might even serve as bodyguards or sworn protectors.

Granting power wasnt difficult, considering potential and lifespan werent taken into account. This was Lynns insight after continuous learning and research. What was challenging was how the beings wielding that power would remain loyal to the wizard who bestowed it upon them.

Thus, wizards devised master-servant contracts and other similar abilities to address this issue.

The ship is about to arrive. We have at most two days before reaching our destination, Harin remarked, gazing out of the window.

Lynn nodded, his eyes flickering subtly.

He thought about the deal he made with Angley. I understand.

Over these past few months, Lynn persisted in daily meditation, making significant progress in the Hellfire Meditation technique. Unlike the straightforward progress of the Earth Ring Meditation, the Hellfire Meditation didnt manifest its advancement as directly. However, this wasnt a major issue for Lynnhe could visually observe the specific progress through his attribute panel.

In his mind, the vague outline of a greenish mountain range gradually took shape.

Actually, I wasnt planning to reveal my identity at the beginning, Harin suddenly said, still gazing out the window.

Lynn stood in place, listening to Harins soliloquy.

But your talents and intelligence showed me more possibilities. So, I marked the subsequent price for this gift of destiny, Harin murmured to himself. Sometimes, choices are more crucial than efforts. Good luck. I hope to see you at the Abyss Wizard Academy.
