Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience - Chapter 448 - 13: How Should I Address You...
Chapter 448: Chapter 13: How Should I Address You…
In the room, the fire was roaring, and the crackling sound of burning wood echoed continuously.
The table, which was empty just moments ago, was now filled with an assortment of delicacies: Magic Spring Soup, Moonlight Silverfish Sashimi, Star-roasted Pigeon, Phantom Frost Snow Fruit, Floating Cheese… All were rare delicacies, even in the Wizard World, filling the air with a captivating aroma.
Lynch picked up the Silver Wine Glass, filled it with the hot wine from the stove, and offered it to the old man across from him: “This is a specialty fruit wine from our Feiyan City, please try it.”
Throughout the years of interaction, Seren had repeatedly mentioned to him that his teacher, the dean of the Star Sky Wizard Academy, was interested in him, wanted to meet him, and had repeatedly invited him to visit Fran.
However, due to his real identity and the warrant he was bearing, Lynch had always politely declined.
Still, for some unknown reason, this distinguished figure seemed particularly focused on him and had even sent word through Seren a while ago, stating that he would personally visit.
Lynch didn’t quite understand what had caught the other’s attention, but since the host had spoken to this degree, not entertaining him would indeed be unreasonable.
In the Transcendent World, where power belonged to oneself, power was undoubtedly the most crucial factor, directly determining a person’s status and position.
However, the process of accumulating power was slow, and many problems could arise during the period of escalating power. Thus, having some backings would provide external aid when facing unsolvable issues.
Abbas took a sip from the wine glass, nodded, and approvingly said: “Not bad, not bad, moonlight at three thirty in the morning combined with misty morning dew, and specifically brewed by Forest Fairy, a very unique concept and a unique taste.”
Lynch twitched his mouth.
This Moonlight Honey Brew was something Flora and her people had researched for a long time to create, one of the unique formulas of his Wizard Power, capable of being traded as top-tier Magic Knowledge in the wizard markets.
Yet, unexpectedly, the ingredients and proportions were recognized instantly by others.
How exactly was this achieved…
Lynch felt deeply puzzled.
He couldn’t help but express awe: “Your strength and wisdom are truly beyond my imagination.”
Abbas casually shook his head: “It’s not something worth boasting about. Once you reach the Fourth Level, you basically have insight into the rules of the Wizard World, and the workings of all things are under your control, making some shallow contents easily visible.”
Insight into all things…
Is this the advancement of the Rules?
Lynch silently noted Abbas’s words.
Abbas took a few more sips of wine and then initiated the main topic: “The reason I am visiting you late at night today is firstly to meet you. My student Seren has told me many stories about you… I have also learned a lot through other channels.”
“I must say, you are indeed quite outstanding. After Felvin, talents like you have not emerged on this land for a long time.”
Lynch said: “Thank you for the compliment.”
Abbas shook his head: “I am merely stating a fact.”
Pausing momentarily, he continued: “Another reason for my visit is due to official matters.”
He paused briefly at this point.
Then, suddenly, he said: “This is for our Star Sky Wizard Academy, and also for the Land of Fran. In a broader sense, it can be said to be for the entire Wizard World.”
Lynch was stunned.
What the heck?
It didn’t take long for Abbas to relieve Lynch’s confusion, soon providing him with an answer.
He then spoke, asking: “You have deciphered from those imprisoned Soul Fragments in the Underground City, the carriers of knowledge from Acadica, haven’t you?”
Abbas looked at Lynch: “That knowledge buried by time?”
So, it was about this!
Lynch suddenly became tense, and his spiritual power unfolded instantly, ready to relocate through space coordinates at any moment.
Abbas shook his head: “Relax.”
“I am not coming with malicious intentions; otherwise, I wouldn’t specifically come here to meet with you.”
Reaching his level, if he wanted to force anything, there was no need to come personally. He had fostered more than one individual up to the Third Tier, and the resources he could mobilize behind him had even reached the legendary Fifth Rank.
Lynch did not relax; he remained tense, warily asking: “What are you trying to say?”
Against the Fourth Tier, he certainly couldn’t contend, but he was confident that his trump card was unknown to them. After all, space transfer was a lost Spell, mastered only by himself.
Abbas said: “Cooperation.”
Lynch asked, puzzled: “Cooperation?”
Abbas nodded and then explained in specific detail: “Long ago, we had known what was going on with those Soul Fragments inside the Underground City ruins and had organized manpower more than once to attempt excavation here.”
“However, none of the excavations progressed in the end. Do you know why?”
Lynch remained silent.
This was essentially a public secret; the excavation couldn’t progress because people couldn’t decipher the ancient knowledge within the Soul Fragments, so without being able to understand these knowledge fragments, the excavation wasn’t meaningful.
Simply put, the input didn’t yield output, so naturally, no one pursued the excavation.
Abbas nodded, speaking in a self-answering manner: “Indeed, like countless predecessors who showed interest in this place, we were also greatly troubled by these knowledge fragments. We tried many methods, but the deciphering progress was very slow, unable to obtain valuable content from them.”
Pausing afterward, Abbas continued: “Yet we all know what is buried inside these ruins, the most refined existence from the Acadica Era, countless predecessors’ research into Space Magic, countless eras ahead of our current Space Magic.”
Abbas’s gaze deepened, seemingly holding a galaxy within.
He said in a deep tone: “We Wizards have been trapped in this world for too long, unable to remain perpetually confined here. The world is vast, besides here, there are countless other planes, which are places we will ultimately explore.”
Abbas looked at him: “And the knowledge fragments you possess might just be the last piece of the puzzle for us to venture to other planes, possibly propelling the development of the entire Wizard World and ushering in a new era for us.”
Lynch still remained silent.
Call it selfishness or lacking a broader vision, Abbas’s eloquent words hardly moved him to sacrifice the hard-earned knowledge. How could that be possible?
This was how Lynch felt at the moment…
But when Abbas’s next words came, he realized he might have to reconsider…
Abbas looked at him and said: “Am I right, Mr. Saphiro?”
Pausing, he then added: “No.”
“Or should I call you Mr. Lynch Valen?”
