Chapter 95 Tornado and Wind Magic Stone
Dear Townspeople:
A tornado will hit tonight around 9:54 PM. Unless it's an emergency, please stay at home. Stay safe and take precautions. Stay safe!
——Delivered by Lord Lin Muqiu]
At night, under the dim candlelight, Lin Muqiu leaned sideways and slowly edited the words on the Lord System.
She supported the back of her neck with her hands, rubbed her sore muscles, and looked out the window. There were no stars tonight, only dim sand and dust, but it also had a unique flavor.
Thinking back to when she was young, she studied in such an environment.
The old house awaited renovation, its crumbling earthen walls teetering on the brink of collapse from the wind. The stench of dust choked her, making her cough. But her memories contained no fear of peeling gray walls, no heart-pounding gusts, no creaking of trees snapping in the wind. Instead, she remembered her grandfather smiling at her, telling her not to be afraid.
It seemed like just a moment, and she grew up, tall enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with her hunched grandfather.
Grandpa has been dead for many years.
Now she also has someone to protect.
She turned on the Lord System, increased the protective shield, then picked up her coat and put it on, teleporting out of the city.
The wind was so strong that it could no longer hurt her.
She braved the howling storm and used wind magic to survey the location of the tornado. Then she released the spell and sent the [Magic Stone] and [Location Stone] that she had prepared long ago towards the location of the tornado.
She raised her eyes and observed everything with space magic.
Inside the tornado, there were many magic stones emitting a faint golden light, so bright that it made people tremble.
[Wind Magic Stone: Level 99 (Gold Level)
Note: You must use it with caution. This magic stone has absorbed the terror of the wind disaster and is extremely powerful! It is extremely terrifying. Unless you are a max-level expert, do not use it lightly!
Her heart trembled, and she understood in an instant:
The wind magic stone is done!

"Ha~ How boring." Saiden yawned. "Sir, let's go back. There are so many people guarding here, and Lord Lin has put up a protective shield, so nothing will happen."
Augustine shook his head, his eyes firm, "No, this is the only thing I can do for her."
Saiden rolled his eyes and fell silent.
Who are you showing off to? No one can see you!
Saiden couldn't help but yawn again. Half asleep, he opened his eyes and suddenly woke up. "Wait, sir, look, why is there a person over there?"
Following the direction of Seiden's finger, Augustine's heart trembled. He pushed himself up with his hands and was about to jump off the city wall to save people, but when the girl turned around, her gentle face and peach-like eyes made his heart skip a beat.
It’s Lin Muqiu.
He suddenly retracted his hand and was silent for a while. "Looks like I don't need to save her anymore."
"Go if you want to," Saiden couldn't help but mutter, pointing again, "Look at her, she's been secretly accompanying Master Lin."
Augustine looked in that direction again and saw Yun Yi squatting with the dragon cub not far away, waiting silently.
"Then you have even less use for me." Augustine fell silent suddenly, his fingers gripping the wall couldn't help but tighten, his fingertips turning pale.
"Tsk." Rather than caring about his own adults' feelings, Saiden would rather continue sleeping.
Just as he yawned, he was suddenly woken up again, "Sedden, Sedden, look, what's that over there!"
Saiden was suddenly startled and looked into the distance. He saw a tornado roaring through the jungle, breaking many trees, and then heading towards the protective shield of Ankang Town. The momentum was like a galloping horse, unstoppable!
Everyone was shocked and felt a chill in their bones.
This is unbelievable! This is a disaster! If a tree hits this protective shield, how much money will Master Lin Muqiu have to spend to repair it?
The guards present immediately became alarmed, and Augustine's heart was pounding like a drum. He subconsciously directed the wind mage guards to cast spells in one direction.
The guards swung their robes, and the wind blew hard, trying to move the trees to the right a dozen meters and hit them somewhere else.
However, before it was completed, the trees came to a stop and lay across the city gate, stacked one after another in neat rows, like a pile of firewood for winter.
Augustine was sweating profusely and panting, secretly cursing himself for being such a fool. Lord Lin was still here, how could anything possibly happen?!
Sure enough, the next second, Lin Muqiu turned around. The dim moonlight made her graceful figure unclear, but her smile was always like a bright lamp, burning Augustine's heart.
Her voice was clear and melodious. "Don't worry. I'm just stockpiling some wood. If the townspeople don't have enough, I'll have more to sell."
Augustine looked at the rows of trees stacked like mountains, then looked at Lin Muqiu, and couldn't help but curl his eyebrows.
Why does Lin Muqiu always have so many wonderful ideas!
Who would have thought that a tornado could be used like this! Save manpower and time, and you won’t have to worry about winter anymore!
Being a mage is so convenient. How great would it be if all townspeople had this skill?
"Lord Lin is wise!" The other guards shouted in unison with smiles on their faces.
It really makes me feel at ease to have Lord Lin Muqiu around.
Lin Muqiu raised the corners of his lips.
What's so smart about that? She's selling it, not giving it away for free.
Besides, isn't this all about promoting the Philosopher's Stone?
Looking at Tornado again, her eyes lit up.
Now that we have the Wind Magic Stone, is the Electric Magic Stone far behind?
With the Electricity Magic Stone, it's like having electricity. With electricity, how long will it take for electric lights, electric machinery, and the widespread use of electric spells?!
She got it! She's prepared for the polar nights of winter!

A store called "Magic Stone Direct Sales" sprang up.
"Master Lin's new creation, Master Lin's new creation, the Wind Magic Stone, who can compete with it?" Lin Muqiu's newly hired shop assistant shouted enthusiastically:
"The Wind Magic Stone has many uses. It's essential for fighting monsters and protecting against wind. It's a treasure for all classes. It's available at any level, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and so on. Whether you're a swordsman or an assassin, you can quickly master it. It'll help you realize your dream of becoming a mage!"
"A powerful tool for mage upgrades! Are you still frustrated by the experience bottleneck? Get a Wind Magic Stone to help you get started faster!"
“…”
These words caused a huge uproar.
It has been a long time since Lin Muqiu last opened a new store.
Every time, she came with the attribute of restraining natural disasters, and the things she sold were so good and cheap.
Everyone started queuing up excitedly, crowding each other so tightly that it was foggy all around. They started grabbing the tickets without even asking how much it cost.
"I came first, I came first!"
"Last time, you were the first to grab the crayfish restaurant, but this time I'll go first!"
"Bah, weren't you afraid to eat crayfish at that time?"
“…”
The crowd was bustling around, and the clerk finally smiled and said, "A level 10 magic stone is 3 silver coins, a level 20 is 5 silver coins, a level 30 is 10 silver coins, a level 40 is 15 silver coins, a level 50 is 20 silver coins, and above level 50, you can rent it by the number of times."
Upon hearing this, everyone was frightened and took a few steps back.
This is more expensive than they imagined! In fact, it is more expensive than the Philosopher's Stone in other towns!
Some remained silent, some sighed silently, and some stared at it for a long time, wondering, "Does this really work? Why is it more expensive than others?"
"A mage's charge and stamina are short-lived. Will they become useless after a few uses?"
"Will there be any rejection reaction during use?"
“…”
"Please make way, please make way. Excuse me." Grace, one of the first to grab the magic stone, had several pear trees dragged along, nodding sheepishly at the crowd. "I just finished blowing the trees with the magic stone. Um, I'm going to move them to where I live. Next year, when the pears bear fruit, I can make pear jam."
Onlookers: “…”
Damn, do you have to show off so obviously?!
Is it so fast?
Everyone had complicated looks on their faces. Wow, to uproot the tree and carry it to the town would probably take several people and several days. But this guy could do it with just a magic stone, saving time and effort!
It's obvious that this person knows nothing about magic!
Moreover... they vaguely remembered that this guy had fished like this before. He had no skills at all, but he caught a grass carp weighing forty or fifty kilograms, which made them envious and jealous for several days!
Humph, if I can’t catch fish from her, then I guess I can’t snatch the Philosopher’s Stone from her either?
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Grace, how long can your Philosopher's Stone last?"
Grace scratched her head. "I bought a level 30 one, which is said to be usable 99 times."
Everyone gasped and took a long breath.
99 times, did they hear it wrong?
Crazy, crazy, this world is crazy!
They thought it was expensive before, but when they thought about the 99 uses, they felt it was not expensive anymore! After all, the level 30 wind magic stone in other towns could only be used a little over 20 times before breaking.
99 times, how is that possible? It would take a lot of endurance to create something this delicate and exquisite!
Could it be the work of Lord Lin?
Everyone's eyes flashed, and they suppressed their excitement: If they can't become a max-level boss, why can't they have the experience?
The clerk took the opportunity to say, "All magic stones have a durability of 99, and the quantity is really limited."
This sentence undoubtedly stuck in the heart of the collector.
The limited quantity means it has collection value and can appreciate in value!
Someone took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. "Last night, I saw Master Lin use the magic stone. Wow, he directly blew away trees as thick as waists. What do you think? Will we have no worries about firewood in winter then?"
This remark hit the spot, and everyone was moved. Even those who had questioned it stopped talking, fearing they would miss out if they were too slow. "Give me two level 30 ones! Oh no, give me four!"
"I, I'm level 40, two of you!"
"Expensive things have their reasons for being expensive! Give me a level 50 one!"
"How is the rental fee calculated?"
“…”
Facing the crowd's various expressions, the clerk smiled and handed them the packaged Philosopher's Stone. He patiently explained, "Because high-level Philosopher's Stones are too dangerous, they must be released on the spot with the assistance of a clerk, that is, me."
Everyone groaned, and a red-robed wizard sounded dissatisfied. "You're talking nonsense! We just want to get a high-level magic stone for self-defense, but you insist on having someone assist us and use it on the spot. This is like taking off your pants to fart, it's just too much trouble!"
"On-site assistance, then what other spells can I cast? I won't even need this Philosopher's Stone!"
The clerk just smiled and said, "You are safe, but others are in danger because of our actions. This does not conform to our principle of mutual benefit. I'm sorry."
The red-robed wizard's expression changed. "What do you mean?"
"It means you can't control such a powerful magic stone." Lin Muqiu walked out slowly, "High-level magic stones are very useful, but you haven't realized its effectiveness yet."
The red-robed wizard was unconvinced, "Why do you say I can't control it?"
