Chapter 75 Nature and the Labyrinth (Third Update) and (Fourth Update)

Chapter 75

Sonya didn't talk much with Lin En. The purpose of her trip was very clear: to sell all the items she left in the furnace, exchange the merits she gained for resources that could improve her combat power, and then return to the battlefield to continue to strive for more merits.

Lin En fell into deep thought, repeatedly pondering the feasibility of the military achievement.

He longed for military exploits, but did not want to go to the battlefield himself.

Lin En was very clear that his current spiritual realm was still restricted by the life seed, and 80% of his spiritual power could not be exerted at all.

To participate in the war and fight for military merit in this state is simply suicide.

Therefore, the best way is to accumulate military merits through other means - such as redemption or purchase.

Military merits are used to exchange for precious resources provided by the furnace. As long as you can obtain precious resources, you can naturally gain military merits indirectly.

But the only valuable resource that Lin En has on hand is probably the "Blue Sky Meditation Method".

But it was obviously impossible for him to exchange this meditation method.

After all, this was a one-time version of enlightenment taught to him by Rosalind, and only she, not Lynn, was qualified to sell or liquidate this meditation method.

For Lin En, even if he revealed the contents of the breathing method, he would be retaliated by the contract, let alone selling it...

"In addition to meditation, what about refining precious potions? No, that's obviously impossible. The potions I refine can be bought with magic stones or points. Who would exchange them for military merits..."

Lynn asked himself, if he couldn't even exchange his best potion for military merit, then what else could he offer?

"Magic props? I have a magical version of a space prop in my hand..."

This thought flashed through Lin En's mind, but he immediately shook his head. "But I studied alchemy hard some time ago and checked these magic items. Although there are some small exquisite items, they obviously cannot be exchanged for enough military merits."

After careful consideration, a feasible option finally emerged in Lynn's mind.

"This auxiliary potion for a wizard who wants to become a formal wizard is undoubtedly precious... but the one I have is not a complete version..."

Lin En didn't believe it, so he went to the furnace base not far from the furnace to check out the battle merit list...

However, after half a day, Lin En came back with a grim look on his face. Every achievement in battle was made at the cost of his life.

It is natural that those people would not sell these military exploits easily. At least the incomplete auxiliary potions could not be sold at a sufficient price.

"The plan is feasible, and military merit can indeed solve the contract problem."

Lin En thought about it and sighed softly, "However, there is a new problem now, that is how to gain military merits. It seems that I can only improve my level of potion learning and then use auxiliary potions to exchange for military merits..."

"This is exactly what I had planned. Besides, my level of potion science has improved a lot now... so it's quite feasible..."

After thinking about this, Lin En stood up again, walked towards the potion garden, and continued to improve his potion master level.

…………………………

The furnace, the living quarters, and Rosalind's room.

She stood by the window, her beautiful blue-green eyes staring at the core tower in the distance, a hint of uneasiness between her brows.

Her expression seemed a little complicated.

"If I'm not mistaken, that person should be a Morning Star Wizard of the Broken Star..."

A hint of doubt appeared on Rosalind's face and her brows furrowed slightly.

Like other official wizards, Rosalind was not too worried about the current situation.

Even if the black dragon witch Astrid is arrested, the furnace still exists and the Morning Star Wizard is still there. As long as he is there, the furnace will not collapse.

However, things seem to be changing.

The pillar of the furnace, the master of the furnace, has been shattered.

All this was becoming unusual, and Rosalind had an uneasy feeling in her heart.

"As a rational Morning Star wizard, how could he lose the protection of the wizarding world for his own daughter? Astrid did fall into the Great Forest of the Emerald Isle, but did the Master of the Forge really go there just for her?"

The shattered star is almost irreversible, and the Master of the Forge is a selfish dark wizard.

Would he give up the protection of the wizarding world for his loved ones? Obviously not! Rosalind realized that there seemed to be some hidden story behind the incident.

The Master of the Forge seemed to be deceiving everyone. As a Morning Star Wizard, why would he lie to the "weaklings" like them? There must be some hidden reason.

"Mother Nature, may I find something like that soon..."

Rosalind gently closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and prayed softly.

Her face looked particularly pious at this moment, but the depth and calmness in her eyes were very different from the image of a natural wizard who grew up in the dark wizard territory.

And this is indeed the case.

The so-called "coming out of the mud without getting stained" is ultimately just a fantasy. A successful natural wizard must have suitable soil.

In the territory of dark wizards, the 80% limitation of mental power during the apprenticeship stage inherently prevents the growth of natural wizards.

Rosalind came from the territory of the White Wizard. She came to the Crucible because she was looking for something, something very important...

"According to Mother Nature's guidance, it should be near the furnace. I have been looking for it for a long time, but I still can't find it. Could it be that..."

She was silent for a moment, and a bold guess emerged in her mind.

Rosalind's status in the Crucible is high enough to participate in the cross-border expedition, which speaks volumes.

She did use the power of the furnace, but no matter how she searched, the surrounding kingdoms and principalities failed to bring her any useful clues.

“Could it be that it is in that forest?”

Rosalind's gaze involuntarily turned to the Great Forest of Emerald Island. Her gaze became deep and distant, as if penetrating through layers of fog and reaching the depths of the mysterious and dangerous forest.

…………………………

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

The furnace broke through the formation outside the Green Island Forest, and then the army advanced into the depths like a tide.

Although the deep forests are less dangerous than before, they still pose considerable threats.

As a result, the number of injured, sick and disabled soldiers continued to rise, and the pressure on the logistics department also increased dramatically.

In accordance with the previous promise of the Lord of the Forge, the logistics department must ensure that every surviving soldier can receive timely and effective treatment, which makes the already tense working environment even more difficult.

As a member of the Potion Garden, Lin En has undoubtedly become a part of the logistics system.

His work pressure increased as he not only had to complete the daily potion-making tasks on time, but also had to take on more responsibilities.

Taking into account that every potion master has his own strengths, the furnace did not allow those potion masters to easily change the direction of refining, but instead let them be responsible for the early stage processing of potions.

The process of potion making is relatively complicated, especially the production of the final medicine is the most tedious and difficult.

The processing of potion materials in the early stages is relatively simple and can be handed over to other potion masters.

Therefore, in addition to his work, Lin En also needs to be responsible for a lot of material processing work.

The work of the logistics department was already very heavy, and with the additional tasks, many apprentices complained.

However, Lynn's eyes were shining with excitement and he was immersed in it with great interest.

For him, being exposed to a variety of different potions and refining different materials will undoubtedly accelerate his growth as an apprentice potion master.

After all, a formal potion master must master the methods of refining many potions, and the number of potion materials that can be handled skillfully is countless.

Lin En originally planned to improve his refining progress by purchasing potion materials, but now the furnace provides him with a great opportunity:

As long as he needs it, he can apply for various potion materials at any time. The only restriction is that the scrap rate cannot be too high, otherwise he will have to bear the difference himself.

Although the working hours increased further and Lynn had no time to do other things, this new task saved him a lot of points for purchasing potion materials.

He can use these points to purchase important resources such as witchcraft templates and extraordinary knowledge, all of which greatly promote his progress.

More than a month seemed both long and short to Lin En.

With the help of the resources and opportunities provided by the furnace, he has almost completely mastered the potion materials needed for the apprenticeship stage.

Although he couldn't say that he could handle all the potion materials, he was already quite proficient in more than 80% of them.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Thanks to this, his apprentice potion master's progress has also been rapid, and he has already reached a fairly high level.

In Lin En's mind, progress bars appeared one by one. These were the fruitful results he had obtained through diligent practice.

…………………………

"Of course, for a wizard, the most important thing is still the origin - spirit and soul."

Lin En whispered, "And my current total mental strength should be... 28 points!"

He began to calculate carefully and realized that it had been five months since he was promoted to a third-level apprentice.

During this period of time, he had digested and absorbed all the resources harvested from the Night Shadow Bunker.

On average, Lin En's mental strength improves almost every month.

But some things cannot be calculated using averages.

Lin En noticed that in the first month, his mental strength increased a little bit, but as time went on, the rate of improvement gradually slowed down.

Lin En knew that this was not his problem, and there was nothing wrong with meditation. The key lay in the potion.

When he was in Nightshade Bunker, most of the potions he obtained were suitable for second-level apprentices. Among them, "Tears of the Day" and "Mindy's Love" were potions designed specifically for second-level apprentices.

The "Secret of the Ocean" has a certain effect on both level 2 and level 3 apprentices, but compared to potions that are completely targeted at level 3 apprentices, its effect will inevitably weaken as mental strength increases.

“If you want to improve quickly, you still have to rely on resources…” Lin En said to himself.

Lin En planned to sell the magic items in his space props to exchange for points, and then buy magic potions suitable for himself to enhance his mental strength.

However, potions are now extremely expensive, with wars ongoing and precious resources in short supply, causing the price of potions to soar.

The points or magic stones that were originally worth one potion can now be exchanged for less than half of it.

"It's a bit of a loss to buy it now..." Lin En gently rubbed his brows, but then he felt a little comforted, "But there is also good news, that is, thanks to this war, the value of the magic items in my hands has also increased. Comparing the two, the loss should not be too big."

"What should I choose? I'd better think about it again..."

…………………………

The Lord of the Forge and the Lord of the White Heart Tower are currently processing a large amount of data, which records the circumstances of wizards who have successfully survived after entering the Green Island Forest over the past month.

"Not one of them can make it to the fourth level! They can't even make it to the third level. What a bunch of rubbish!"

The Master of the Furnace slammed the table, his angry voice full of oppression.

The White Heart Tower Master stared at the Master of the Furnace with a deep gaze, knowing clearly in his heart that if there was anyone who knew the [Landscape] best, it must be the Master of the Furnace.

According to the Lord of the Furnace, the [Landscape] is like a maze with layers upon layers, unfathomable.

The same person who enters at different times will encounter very different situations; the same is true for different people who enter at the same time.

The deeper the maze goes, each level is filled with countless dangers.

If you can't even get out of the first level of the maze, you will die in it.

In the second level maze, only half-dead wizards will be kicked out.

Only after clearing the third level of the maze can you exit safely.

As for the deeper levels, if you encounter life-threatening situations, you can choose to exit at any time, but once you re-enter, you must start over from the initial level.

More importantly, after the third level, you will receive a clearance reward for each level you pass.

It was during that stage that the Master of the Furnace gained the opportunity to reach the Morning Star.

Of course, he had gone very deep.

"The data shows that third-level apprentices account for 90%, second-level apprentices account for 3%, first-level apprentices account for 4%, and formal wizards account for only 3%..."

The White Heart Tower Master paused, looked at the Master of the Furnace, and continued: "Does this have anything to do with strength? There are almost no official wizards entering...?"

The Master of the Furnace sneered and shook his head:

"It has nothing to do with strength. I remember when I broke through the fourth level, I actually met a first-level apprentice. Haha, these wizards are really useless. They can't even beat a first-level apprentice..."

"In the Landscape, don't use the rules of the wizarding world to measure and understand everything. The mysteries there are completely different from the wizarding world, and are not even within the scope of the worlds we have glimpsed. After all, this belongs to another..."

The Master of the Furnace sighed and spoke slowly.

The White Heart Tower Master nodded thoughtfully, tapping his fingers on the table. After a moment's silence, he sighed and said, "It seems that we can only increase our investment. Unfortunately, mortals and knights with weak mental strength cannot enter to serve as our data. They must be at least first-level apprentices, which is too limited."

The Master of the Forge looked cold and said, "My forge apprentices have only entered half of them, and the other half have not tried yet. Let them all go in and try... With more people, there will always be one or two who can enter the deeper maze."

The Master of the Furnace spoke coldly. He could not forcibly control the formal wizards, but the Furnace Apprentices did not have these problems.
