The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 71 The Autumn Hunt Begins
The next day, Lynn got up before dawn.

He walked quietly to the roof alone, looking out at the dark Cuilin City, his breath forming a faint white mist in the cold air.

Perhaps it was time. Lin En clearly felt that the temperature in Cuilin City had dropped a lot today.

The thin ordinary wizard robe is not enough to keep out the cold, and a plush lining must be added inside.

However, this is only for apprentices who have not undergone physical strengthening.

For Lin En, this temperature change should not be enough to make him feel cold.

But perhaps it was a psychological effect, he always felt a little cold, so he went back to the house to find a shawl to put on, and then went back to the roof.

Dawn was still some time away, and Cuilin City had not yet woken up, remaining completely dark.

'The sudden drop in temperature heralds the arrival of late autumn.'

"In my previous life, it would have been called Cold Dew or Frost Descent..."

As far as I can remember, the autumn hunt in the wizarding territory of Horsens is held at this time every year.

The beasts in the Green Shadow Forest sense that winter is approaching and become extra active in order to store food for the winter.

Hunting during this period not only makes it easier to find prey, but also greatly reduces the probability of wild beasts attacking Cuilin City in winter, while ensuring the smooth progress of the subsequent autumn ploughing.

Autumn ploughing is an important event in Cuilin City every year, and the grain industry is also one of the few industries that is completely controlled by the school.

Eating is a necessity for most wizards until they reach the second level.

Therefore, almost all schools and even colleges have their own land under their full control to ensure self-sufficiency in food.

When the Hosens School moved here, the first place they opened up, apart from the school headquarters, was the fields on the east and west sides of Cuilin City.

In the wizarding society of Gunn's world, there is no concept of a country, or rather, schools and colleges are independent countries.

Lin En stood on the roof, thinking aimlessly.

The eastern sky gradually faded from darkness to reveal brilliant colors, first dark blue, then light blue, and when the morning sun appeared a little, it was an indescribable psychedelic color of pink and purple.

The sky was just getting brighter, and wizards from the school began to fly through the sky from time to time.

Lin En knew that the school members were rushing to the major associations to urge the autumn hunting personnel to take action.

Those participating in the autumn hunt will be divided into two groups in the next half day, and will go to the Cuiying Forest on the east and west sides of Cuilin City for hunting and raiding.

They will continue to go deeper and deeper until 5 days later when they return to Cuilin City.

Stand for a while longer.

Guessing that it was time to exchange meditation apprentices for duty, Lynn retracted his gaze, refused the breakfast brought by Carter, and rushed to the base next to the school headquarters.

Not long after he arrived, the second-class apprentice in charge of exchanging meditation methods also arrived.

"Are you sure you want to exchange for all the remaining parts of the Horsins Apprentice Meditation Method, not the second part?"

The second-class apprentice was very surprised when he learned the purpose of Lin En's visit.

Lynn nodded calmly, smiled simply and explained, "I made some money recently."

"This is not a small amount of money." The second-class apprentice sighed, but did not ask any more questions. He handed the meditation method to Lin En according to the procedure.

After all, although more than 200 primary magic stones are a lot, for him who comes from a school, it is actually just that.

Lynn felt slightly relieved after receiving the meditation method.

In fact, he had not intended to be so high-profile. He only planned to exchange for the meditation method for the second-class wizard apprentice.

But things are unpredictable, and he was worried that something might happen during the autumn hunt, so he didn't care too much and decided to exchange the remaining meditation methods first.

At least in this way, he wouldn't have to worry about meditation for a long time.

After exchanging the meditation method, Lin En turned around and left the base.

Sitting in the carriage, he rolled down the window and looked out at the street. Because of the autumn hunt, the street was very deserted, with few pedestrians and many shops closed.

In some remote sections of the road, there is no one to be seen.

Only the rumbling sound of his carriage continued to echo in the empty streets.

Occasionally, Lin En would see temporary patrol teams composed of members of schools and associations passing by.

They patrolled in groups of three or five, most of them with serious faces and no smiles.

Lin En looked up at the sky. The sky was clear and white clouds were floating leisurely.

He closed the car window and closed his eyes.

When they got home, Adeline came over excitedly and happily shared the good news with him:
Somle is dead!
Lin En cooperated with a surprised smile, then came to the meditation room alone.

After sitting quietly for a while, he let out a long breath and slowly calmed down.

Start your daily meditation practice as usual.

The world is in chaos, and only by constantly increasing his strength can he feel at peace.

In the afternoon, before practicing White Crow Swordsmanship, Lin En sorted out his things first.

He is no longer the poor mortal he used to be, and now has considerable assets.

There are 3 pieces of witchcraft tools alone.

It was a pity that after exchanging for the meditation method, his wealth suddenly shrank and fell back to double digits, with only 87 primary magic stones left.

"Oh, and this..."

Lynn seemed to have thought of something. After searching for a while, he took out the light red ball that Somley had carefully stored on the top shelf of the locker.

'What on earth is this?'

Lynn took it in his hand and examined it carefully.

The red ball is not big, only the size of a thumb, and its surface is smooth without any cracks, as if it is an opaque natural gem.

"Is it some kind of magic tool?" Lin En looked at the red ball and tried to touch it with his mental power.

However, the next moment, a line of pale golden characters suddenly appeared:

[Do you want to absorb the secondary mixed source energy? ]

Lin En opened his eyes slightly, his heart was filled with astonishment, and he murmured in disbelief:
"The red ball in front of me, what kind of secondary mixed source energy is it?"

Lin En thought hard for a long time, and finally found a relevant information from the corner of his memory.

Legend has it that when a world is on the verge of destruction, the world's will will actively consume the origin of the world and create a strange substance called "World Blessing".

This substance, as its name suggests, can enhance the strength of living beings and even give them some strange abilities.

It’s a pity that it can only be absorbed by the creatures in this world, so its value is not high, but its quantity is extremely rare.

'I didn't expect that the world's blessing is equivalent to secondary mixed source energy.'

Taking a deep breath, Lin En suppressed the joy in his heart and chose to absorb it.

A moment later, the red ball disappeared out of thin air in his hand.

Lin En didn't care and focused on himself.

At the end of the source energy column, new characters for secondary mixed source energy were added, and the number at the end was as high as 82!

Although the secondary mixed source energy sounds less effective than the ordinary mixed source energy, such a large amount should be equivalent to several months of treatment!
Lynn was excited, but soon shook his head.

"We'll have to try it to know the details."
