Chapter 220: The Treasure House of the Spirit Eyed Wizard
Chapter 220: At the end of the skyline, a giant black dragon soared in the blue sky, sometimes flying between the white clouds, sometimes passing through the rolling thick clouds, like a black sharp blade cutting through the sky.
Lin En stood on the dragon's back, wearing a black wizard robe, overlooking the ground beneath his feet.
In his vision, a huge green island quietly spread out between heaven and earth.
That is the Cuidao Forest, which is made up of countless lush ancient trees. The treetops are endless and green like the sea, like a floating island born on the earth, forming a very sharp contrast with the surrounding land landscape.
This place is the legendary Green Island Forest.
Coming from the border of the three kingdoms, Lin En rode the black dragon smoothly all the way with almost no obstacles.
Now in the Three Kingdoms region, apart from him, there is no one else who is above the level of Level 3 Great Wizard, so naturally there is nothing that can cause him trouble.
However, after approaching the edge of the Great Forest of Green Island, Lin En stopped being so high-profile.
He took the black dragon back to the balance space, landed alone in this ancient and mysterious forest, and stepped into the shadowy woodland.
The surrounding trees were tall, blocking out the sun. The mottled light and shadows between the branches and leaves fell on Lin En, making his dark wizard robe look even more solemn and dignified.
The forest was dark and damp, with occasional low growls of magical beasts, accompanied by the chirping of insects and the movement of snakes.
Lin En stood quietly for a moment, his eyes fixed, and whispered, "The direction of the furnace... is over there."
He set off without hesitation.
The Great Forest of the Emerald Island is enormous, but to Lynn today, this area no longer poses any real threat.
Although there are occasional magical beasts in the forest, mostly snakes and insects, they are unable to penetrate the permanent witchcraft defense mark on his body.
Lin En traveled along the way, as fast as the wind, easily crossing several miles of dense forest.
Soon, the endless shadows of trees in front gradually became sparse, and the view finally opened up.
What appeared before him was a huge open space, on which stood two completely different building complexes, one large and one small.
The smaller area was obviously the outpost set up by the former Spirit Eye Furnace. It was filled with simple wooden houses, tents and defensive structures, and had long been abandoned.
The more grand building complex is huge, profound and imposing.
Countless wizard towers stand in an orderly manner in it, like sleeping giants standing at the end of the forest, revealing a coldness and solemnity isolated from nature.
This is the ruins of the Spirit Eye Furnace in its complete form.
Lin En did not step in immediately, but stood quietly there, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar ruins in the distance.
The memories in his mind went back to his mind, and he sketched those familiar structures in his mind: "That is the beast pen, which was once used to raise magical beasts... Further in, it is the magic potion garden... A little deeper, it is the living area... And at the deepest point, it is the wizard tower that belongs to the truly powerful wizards."
It's a pity that the Spirit Eye Furnace has been teleported here by the Spirit Eye Wizard, otherwise Lin En would not mind making the Spirit Eye Furnace his own power instead of building another Temple of Life.
After all, the wizard tower, the core of the Spirit Eye Furnace, belongs to the Morning Star Wizard, and it is not something that the three great wizards Helen can replicate.
"But... it seems that the Spirit Eye Furnace now has a new 'master'."
Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly, and he observed the situation in front of him calmly.
The Spirit Eye Furnace is in stark contrast to the outpost on the other side.
The stronghold was overgrown with weeds and looked lifeless. It was obvious that no one had set foot there for many years. Even the weeds had spread to the roof.
But the situation on the Lingmou Furnace side is obviously different.
The grass was trampled with traces, full of signs of life.
Lin En turned his head and looked at the deep forest path leading to the interior of the [Landscape].
It was a secret passage that passed through the great forest of Cuidao. At the end was the "landscape" that he had visited many times before.
He whispered to himself: "The information provided by Sirius is correct. Although Aquila himself is no longer concerned about this place, he still sent people to stay behind..."
Looking at the familiar wizard ruins again, a hint of coldness appeared in Lin En's eyes.
"If nothing unexpected happens, those minions of the Aquila constellation may have already regarded the Spirit Eye Furnace as their own 'territory'."
He pondered for a moment, then turned his eyes away and disappeared quietly.
"Well... go in and take a look first."
Lin En quietly circled around the outside of the Spirit Eye Furnace and sneaked in with ease.
To him, this huge wizard stronghold had no secrets at all.
He had been a part of the Crucible and was familiar with it. Moreover, he had read a large number of memories of Spirit Eye Wizards and had a deep understanding of this place.
Therefore, his stealth was extremely smooth. He shuttled between buildings and shadows like a ghost without alarming anyone.
Every brick and tile, every tower and wall around is as familiar as ever.
Lin En's steps were steady and swift as he headed straight towards the deepest part of the furnace.
The further you go inside, the more you can see signs of human activity, and even some signs of looting and burning.
Obviously, those subordinates of Aquila were not setting up defenses here, but regarded the Spirit Eye Furnace as a "relic" that had not yet been fully developed, and were plundering resources and fighting for treasures in it.
Lynn's figure finally stopped at the edge of the living area.
One step further is the core area of the wizard tower where the Spirit Eye Wizard lives.
He stood in the shadows, his eyes dark.
"Those guys... moved into the wizard tower that Spirit Eye Wizard used to live in..."
The relationship between Lin En and Aquila can be said to be mortal enemies, and if possible, he will naturally not let go of Aquila's subordinates.
However, now is not the time to take action.
Not to mention whether we can catch them all and kill them all, even if we kill them, it might attract the attention of Aquila and cause a stir.
"This group of people have lived inside the Spirit Eye Furnace for a long time. Although they have supervision over the [landscape], it is in name only. Obviously, they don't think anyone will enter the [landscape]..."
Lin En's heart moved. If that was the case, it would be good news for him.
If that were the case, he wouldn't have to worry about entering the [Landscape] and getting in trouble with Aquila's men.
"However, the most important thing is the precious collection of books here..."
Although Aquila's men occupied the Spirit Eye Furnace and wantonly plundered, destroyed, and looted treasures within it.
But what Lin En really wanted, the secret techniques, inheritance, treasures, etc., were not something they could easily get their hands on.
Those vital resources are all hidden in the private treasury of the Spirit Eye Wizard.
According to the information Lin En learned from the Spirit Eyes Wizard's memory, if the Spirit Eyes Wizard himself had not come, even a powerful wizard of the Morning Star level would have found it difficult to discover the true location of the treasure house.
Ling'en's figure flashed and he quietly sneaked into a secret and deserted basement.
He raised his hand and waved it, and golden light flashed.
A moment later, the figure of the Spirit Eye Wizard appeared beside him.
"Contact that part of your soul," Lynn whispered.
The Spirit Eyed Wizard responded mechanically, then closed his eyes and concentrated, beginning to contact the fragment of his soul that remained deep in the furnace.
That was the residual soul left after he failed in practicing the "Art of Deceiving Heaven and Dividing Souls", and he did not destroy it that year.
Instead, he refined it and injected it into the Spirit Eye Furnace, making it the furnace spirit of this huge witchcraft building complex.
Because of this, this soul fragment is not only closely connected to the protective formation of the entire Soul Eye Furnace, but also controls all the authority of the core wizard tower.
As long as Lin En is willing, he can even activate the formation through the spirit of the furnace, catch all the Aquila men lurking here, and completely seal them to death.
The Spirit Eye Wizard quickly completed the soul connection.
"These are the images of those people." He said, and with a wave of his hand, a light golden light condensed in the air, gradually constructing clear projection images.
Lynn looked intently.
In the picture, a wizard in a black wizard robe is busy in the laboratory, seemingly mixing potions or operating some kind of instrument.
In another library, someone was sitting in front of a thick book, flipping through an ancient scroll intently.
In another quiet room, a wizard was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with subtle fluctuations of laws surrounding him, and he seemed to be in a state of cultivation.
The screen keeps switching.
Suddenly, Lynn's gaze stopped on an image on the top floor of a wizard tower.
There, a figure stood alone on the edge of the tower, overlooking the entire furnace.
He was wearing a black wizard robe, but his exposed face and neck were made entirely of metal, shiny black, with smooth and mellow lines, like a "metal man" created by alchemy.
Lin En's eyes narrowed and he snorted coldly.
"If I remember correctly... this guy is the Great Wizard Silver-Ash."
He remembered this man very clearly. He had been ordered to hunt him down and had almost killed him.
The murderous intent surged in his heart, but Lin En forced himself to suppress it.
Now is not the time to take action.
He browsed through all the images displayed by the Spirit of the Furnace one by one.
"There aren't many of them, only about twenty in total." Lin En whispered, "But they are quite strong, almost all of them are level 2 wizards, and the great silver-gray wizard has already entered the level 3..."
Lin En's eyes sank slightly, and he decided to let these people live a few more days.
"What's the current situation of your treasure house?"
Lin En turned his gaze to the Spirit Eye Wizard beside him and asked in a low voice.
In fact, this is the core of his concern on this trip.
The Spirit Eye Wizard closed his eyes and communicated with the Spirit of the Furnace once again.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and said calmly, "The Aquila who controls the 'Furnace Stone' once personally searched my treasure house. In order to prevent the treasure from falling into his hands, the Furnace Spirit divided the entire treasure house into several parts and used concealment formations to hide them separately."
"However... Aquila's strength is extremely terrifying, and he still managed to forcibly break the seals of several treasure houses."
Lynn frowned when he heard this.
The Spirit Eye Wizard continued, "Fortunately, at the critical moment, those treasure houses activated the emergency teleportation array, which was activated by the spirit of the furnace and transferred the treasures out."
He paused for a moment, then added: "There are still several treasure troves that have not been discovered, and I can take them out directly."
When Lin En first heard that “the treasury was cracked” and “the treasures were transferred”, his heart tightened, but he soon heard an explanation that comforted him a little.
The final destination of those treasures was actually a certain plane world that the Spirit Eye Wizard had locked and arranged in his early years. In that plane, he built a secret base.
For Morning Star Wizards, conquering planes, building plane strongholds, and setting up life-saving measures are almost routine operations.
Once they successfully occupy a plane, they will "privatize" it and set up multiple teleportation, shelter, storage and other mechanisms.
One of the most common ways is to directly use the plane transmission channel to send yourself or important items to a safe plane in times of crisis.
The master of the White Heart Tower once used this method to escape certain death in the [Scenery].
Although the Spirit Eye Wizard has not yet completely swallowed up that plane of world, it is almost there.
In particular, that plane of the world made a foolish decision and gathered a huge amount of world power to allow the saint to counterattack the wizard world. As a result, the saint was destroyed and the world power was severely damaged.
Now, the native creatures of that plane of existence are probably already too busy to take care of themselves, let alone counterattack the places captured by the Spirit Eye Wizards...
Therefore, the treasures that were moved away should still be safe.
"The good news is that I have the precise coordinates of that plane and the authority to open it. The bad news is that only when I become a 'Morning Star Wizard' can I use the power of the origin to travel to that plane and retrieve those treasures."
Hearing this, Lin En took a deep breath.
The treasure is still there, it just takes time; this is a blessing in disguise.
Next, he issued the order:
"First, retrieve all the treasure houses that have not been discovered yet."
The Spirit Eyed Wizard nodded without hesitation.
With the cooperation of the spirit of the furnace, those treasures were hidden in a secret area of the Spirit Eye Furnace, covered by layers of mazes to isolate the breath.
However, as long as one controls the spirit of the furnace, it is almost equivalent to obtaining the "master key" of the entire furnace.
Lin En ordered the Spirit Eye Wizard to go there in person and cooperate with the Spirit of the Furnace to retrieve the remaining treasures.
The entire process did not attract anyone's attention, not even the Aquila men stationed outside the tower.
In the basement, Lin En looked at the returning Spirit Eye Wizard with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
I hope that these treasures contain what he needs, such as witchcraft templates, witchcraft information, magic potions, etc.
The Spirit Eye Wizard handed Lin En three space rings, representing that there were only three remaining treasure houses that had not been breached by Aquila.
"The first one..."
Lin En took the space ring, refined it directly and easily, then probed his mental power into it and began to scan.
"It's full of books, including witchcraft, classics, travel notes, and other various books..."
"But unfortunately, there is no witchcraft template that I want..."
Lin En took a deep breath and was not discouraged. Instead, he looked at the second space ring, took it and refined it.
"hiss……"
Inside the second space ring, there was something that made Lin En gasp. It was densely packed magic stones, like a pile of small hills. The total number would definitely not disappoint.
"Magic stones... they are neither good nor bad. If I don't have a magic template, I can just buy some from somewhere else... Although level 3 magic templates are very precious, these magic stones should be enough..."
Finally, Lin En took a space ring and slowly probed his spiritual power into it...
