Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Far from the palace, Harin led Lynn to a clearing on the edge of the mountain summit, extending his five fingers towards the open space. With a flash of his ring, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and in the next moment, a massive oval-shaped airship appeared before Lynn.

This airship, measuring over a hundred meters in length, looked extremely eerie, adorned with many demon patterns painted in red and black hues on its surface. The most striking feature was the strange tree growing on its gas bag.

Tree branches, resembling python coils, entwined the surface of the gas bag, while the dark green semi-transparent gas bag resembled a massive blister.

Harin boarded the airship with Lynn. As Lynn approached the airship, he noticed that the roots entwined around the gas bag at the top were alive!

Branches thicker than waistlines seemed to pulsate with life.

Seeing Lynn approach, the brown bark of the branches suddenly split open, revealing a large mouth full of sharp teeth underneath.

Dont be afraid, its just a bit mischievous. Its mentality is similar to that of a four or five-year-old girl. It loves being touched by others the most, Harin shrugged, patting Lynns shoulder to reassure him.

A faint smile appeared on Lynns indifferent face as he gently stroked the deeply cracked bark of the tree.

Squeak

The touched branches trembled slightly, emitting a low squeak like that of a mouse.

What a cute little fellow, Lynn chuckled softly.

One of the branches entwined around the gas bag loosened, then slowly moved towards Lynn, gently wrapping around his arm and chest.

It seems it doesnt dislike you, Harin remarked from the side.

Who could resist such a little cutie? Lynn exchanged a glance with Harin, and they both smiled at each other.

As they boarded the airship, Lynns goblin followers were arranged in a specially designated accommodation compartment, which was spacious enough to accommodate them comfortably.

Take a seat. The airship is quite fast; we should reach our destination in about half a year, Harin invited Lynn to sit down, pouring him a glass of water.

The airship was fast? And it would take half a year to reach their destination?

Lynn suddenly became curious about the size of the wizarding world he was in.

Harin noticed Lynns confusion. The world where we wizards reside is known outwardly as the Continent of Vanquished Gods.

Vanquished? Lynn thought the name seemed fitting, considering the pitiful state of the gods in the Wizard civilization.

The Continent of Vanquished Gods is vast. The island chain where you grew up in the Erdolu Kingdom is referred to academically as the Third Island Chain in the Sixth District of the Eastern Outer Ring of the continent.

Teacher, does that mean the island we just left belongs to the Continent of Vanquished Gods? Lynn inquired.

Not exactly, Harin explained. Thats just a large island in the First District of the Eastern Outer Ring, relatively close to the Continent of Vanquished Gods. When we reach the Continent of Vanquished Gods, youll be able to sense the difference between it and the outer ring.

Our Abyss Wizard Academy is located near the Abyss Crossing Great Rift Valley in the eastern part of the Continent of Vanquished Gods. Do you know why its called Abyss Crossing?

Lynn allocated all the general experience points he gained during this time to alchemical studies.

In the subject of alchemical studies, Lynn made remarkable progress. As he advanced, Lynn discovered that alchemical studies truly lived up to its name with the inclusion of gold in its title. He found that mastering this field could be very convenient for earning extra income.

Moreover, the essence of alchemical studies lay in material creation, which, in a sense, was quite similar to material science.

Many of a wizards imagination and creativity relied on alchemical materials to manifest.

Lynn didnt want to be restricted in this regard in the future; therefore, he needed to master it himself.

However, the greatest achievement during this period was Lynns successful improvement of the Iron Earthworms.

This also counted as Lynns first achievement in alchemical studies.

Now, the name Iron Earthworm was no longer appropriate; Lynn renamed it Iron Serpent No. 1.

The Iron Serpent No. 1 had a diameter barely half that of an Iron Earthworm.

Yet its length stretched to twice its original size.

In terms of flexibility and hardness, it surpassed the Iron Earthworm by more than ten times, as tested. Additionally, it could freely move in soil with low-energy concentration and had a broader perception of ground vibrations. During the manufacturing process, Lynn added certain elements of mutation studies.

With Harins consent, Lynn transplanted the invisibility gene from the lizard-men into the Iron Serpent.

This further increased its danger and lethality.

According to Harins evaluation, the Iron Serpent created by Lynn was somewhat interesting among the alchemical creatures made by apprentices. Harin particularly appreciated Lynns application of mutation studies to alchemical creatures.

Were almost there; thats the Abyss Wizard Academy ahead. What youre seeing now is the outer court; the inner court isnt visible to the naked eye.

Standing side by side in front of the window at the front of the airship, Harin pointed towards the continuous array of buildings ahead.

Looking out, Lynn saw the vast expanse of buildings ahead, extending from one end of the plain to the other, resembling a gigantic city looming over the plain.

Within the city, there were even mountains and rivers, with buildings of various styles coexisting.

In reality, over the past few days, Lynn had the feeling that he had arrived in the territory of some power.

At night, he noticed several giant objects floating in the sky like compasses, each with a diameter of at least a thousand meters. They resembled colossal bronze statues of sun coronas suspended in the sky, emitting a faint purple glow under the moonlight.

As the airship crossed the city boundary, it finally descended slowly onto a square in the central area.

Ever since Lynn approached the land four months ago after crossing the ocean, he knew why Harin had said he would naturally sense it when they reached the Continent of Vanquished Gods.

Upon entering the Continent of Vanquished Gods, Lynn found that the surrounding energy became milder and more orderly. This gentle and orderly energy was more conducive for wizards or magical creatures to perceive and utilize the energies of nature, fostering the development of extraordinary civilizations.

Upon arriving at the Abyss Wizard Academy, Lynn found that the surrounding energy became even more orderly, and the energy density in the surrounding air was more than double that of the outside world. In this abundant environment, even experiments would be more stable.
