Chapter 68 -64: The Journey

After the trio had finalized their plans, the alchemy airship continued on its original course, speeding towards Kosai Island.

Having turned down Bennett’s “academic salon,” Lucien headed straight back to his cabin, ready to make use of the time aboard the airship to continue his studies on alchemy.

“Lucien, Mentor!” Just then, Carly came looking for him and discussed with Lucien how a few Second-level Wizard Apprentices were planning to form a self-preservation group.

“Self-preservation?” Lucien couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. However, seeing Carly’s expression of having accomplished something significant, he smiled but said no more.

Seeing Lucien’s somewhat perfunctory attitude, Carly felt a bit dejected, sensing that things were not going quite as she had imagined.

“Carly, you need to understand something,” Lucien said, his expression turning serious, “Those Second-level Wizard Apprentices’ mentors probably already know about their little schemes, and they’re just not being pursued by Bennett and Lilia for now.”

“Just like us Third-level Wizard Apprentices being sent on this mission, how could the formal wizards of the academy committee possibly be unaware of our dissatisfaction?” Lucien sighed softly, “But they don’t care. As far as they’re concerned, as long as we do their bidding, that’s enough.”

“Then… what about those Second-level Wizard Apprentices?” Carly asked, her voice trembling slightly with a hunch forming in her mind.

“To their mentors, they are still useful for now,” Lucien shook his head and said no more.

Carly’s face turned somewhat pale.

“Don’t think too much,” Lucien glanced at Carly, “You should know that this mission holds a very high risk of death for us Third-level Wizard Apprentices. And for weaker Wizard Apprentices like you, the chances of survival are even slimmer.”

“Instead of worrying about the fates of others, you’d better use this time to improve your own strength.” Lucien muttered lowly, causing Carly to shudder.

“I understand, Mentor Lucien.” Carly’s eyes gradually became resolute, and then she took out a notebook from her backpack and started to review some unresolved issues in witchcraft.

Lucien watched Carly, now focused, and his lips curved slightly.

He then took out pen and paper from his Space Ring and started sketching on rough paper, designing the Witch Tools he would use later.

In the time spent studying and teaching, the journey passed quickly.

Bang—

The airship landed on the ground, and despite the shock-absorbing design, the cabin still shook violently upon contact with the ground.

“Ah.” Lucien looked at the design sketch now smeared with ink, somewhat helplessly destroying this spoiled draft.

Over the past few days, he had drawn at least ten different conceptual sketches, but Lucien felt that none of the designs were particularly well-suited to him.

After all, compared to other Wizards, Lucien didn’t seem to have a specialized direction in witchcraft. This undoubtedly posed significant difficulties in designing his Witch Tools.

For other Wizards who specialized in a particular aspect, when it came to designing Witch Tools, they didn’t need to consider too much. The Witch Tools they required only needed to enhance their strengths or compensate for their weaknesses.

For example, a Wizard who was good at Thunder witchcraft would need Witch Tools that either enhanced the power of their Thunder witchcraft or offered a way to counteract witchcraft like earth walls and ice shields, which are good defenses against Thunder witchcraft.

But it was indeed a bit troublesome for Lucien. Since ordinary types of Witch Tools didn’t quite fit him perfectly.

For instance, the Zero-order Witch Tools recorded in the Alchemy Note included some that could enhance the power of the Torch Fire Technique and others that could improve the effectiveness of Shadow Stealth. However, on a holistic level, they couldn’t bring a qualitative improvement for Lucian or optimize the use of the Crystal Stone.

“If nothing else works, just follow the blueprint from the Alchemy Note and craft the ‘Cooks’s Magic Mirror’. Although this Witch Tool isn’t a perfect fit for me either, its ability to absorb or even transfer damage is still very useful,” Lucien said, packing his things and leaving the cabin.

“Is this really the gathering place for Wizards? If one were just passing by, they might think this place is just an abandoned wasteland.” Lucien stepped off the airship and took a look at the surroundings.

At this time, Bennett and Lilia also led their students and followers off the airship, nodded to each other, and, according to the plan previously discussed, divided into two teams to head to Kosai Island in batches.

Lucien and Lilia, being on the team with fewer people, were naturally grouped together. They would head to Kosai Island under the guise of adventurers. When they passed a small town nearby, they spent a few silver coins to hire a guide, publicly claiming they were a team that planned to gather Moonlight Moss on Kosai Island.

“You’re among the earlier adventurers this year.” The hired guide, named Martin, was a very talkative young man. He was leading the group and seemed to know the conditions of the Kosai path very well.

“Usually, adventurers don’t start heading to Kosai Island until June or July. After all, you know, aside from its ease of making money, the island life isn’t as carefree as it is here,” he continued.

“Moreover, it seems that some incidents have occurred on Kosai Island recently. I heard from some friends that several resource gathering spots there have been temporarily closed…”

Lucien and Lilia glanced at each other, then Lilia spoke softly. “Then, Martin, do you know some specific details? We’ve also heard about some incidents on Kosai Island on our journey…”

“Of course, I am Martin Luther Saldoray, a man who will surely become the king of adventurers!” Perhaps it was the face-saving question from a beauty like Lilia that made Martin rather excited, and he even interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

Lilia looked at Martin, who was somewhat giddy at the moment, her eyes flashing a subtle hint of murderous intent.

Meanwhile, Lucien frowned slightly.

For some reason, from the moment they left that human town, he had a mysterious unease, as if something bad was about to happen.

“Carly, be careful,” Lucien said, while subtly performing a detection spell.

Because the intense unease in his heart seemed to be getting stronger.
