Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 462 - 021 Godly Item

Centered around the mine, an invisible force field expanded in all directions, acting like a colossal protective shield, safeguarding the Void City within from the invasion of malefic entities.

Little John watched Carl cross the barrier before he finally relaxed.

It’s a human!

Only humans and non-harmful beings could receive ’God’s’ permission to enter the Void City.

He had been on tenterhooks the entire way, fearing Carl was some kind of special malefic creature, but that clearly wasn’t the case now.

Carl was also observing the village-like ’Void City’ before him.

Suppression!

A force similar to that of the Dream Market’s rules descended upon him the moment he entered.

Under this rule’s suppression, he could not fly above ground, and his strength was also limited to below the First Order.

The force of the rules contained here is clearly stronger than the Dream Market, and by a lot.

Fortunately, this restriction applies to everyone equally, so I don’t need to worry about the people in the Void City using it against me.

"John!"

A crisp female voice rang out, "You’re back."

"Mhm." Upon hearing the voice, John turned around with a radiant smile, lifting high what he held in his hands, "Sister Lulu, look what I found!"

"Meat bugs!" Lulu’s eyes brightened. "It’s a breeding nest!"

"John, you’re amazing! I knew you would make it. Now you can learn breeding techniques from Uncle Wubi. Once you master it, you won’t have to go on adventures outside anymore."

"I... I can’t." John hesitated, a struggle visible in his eyes, then he shoved the breeding nest into her hands. "Sister Lulu, you are smarter than me. You should learn the breeding techniques. Then I can eat the bugs you cultivate."

"This... How could I?" Lulu immediately refused. "You risked your life to find this nest outside. Of course, you should be the one to learn. I can’t take your stuff."

"It’s fine." John’s smile was brilliant. "Without you, Sister Lulu, I would have died out there long ago. Besides, I’m too dumb. I can’t learn the breeding techniques."

"Just take it! I’m busy with other things!"

"Oh, right..."

"Even if I don’t master the breeding techniques, the meat bugs inside will be enough for a while. And with the queen bug, there’s no need to go out for several months."

Having said that, he stuffed the breeding nest into her arms and, turning around, grabbed Carl’s arm, rushing forward.

When they were far away, Carl finally spoke, "Breeding techniques?"

"You must have that nest to learn them?"

"Of course." Used to Carl’s lack of common knowledge, John nodded and explained, "Breeding techniques need a queen bug because only the queen bug can hatch meat bugs."

"If Sister Lulu masters the breeding techniques, she won’t have to venture outside and can survive on the hatched meat bugs."

"To survive here, apart from venturing outside, one must master a skill."

He looked back at Lulu, who was hugging the breeding nest tightly, and continued, "Breeding expert, miner, Pharmacist..."

"Those with skills can trade for food from others, so they don’t have to risk going out."

Carl understood and chuckled, "You’re quite a kind-hearted boy, preferring to suffer yourself rather than deprive others of the chance."

John flashed a toothy grin.

Carl shook his head. What a pity! Too naive.

John had just returned and encountered Lulu. This was no coincidence; she had clearly been waiting for him.

The Void City was in decay.

The clothes of its people were mostly tattered, their bodies covered in dirt.

Yet, Lulu was among the rare few who had combed her hair and cleaned her face, even applying a hint of makeup.

Although her makeup was modest, compared to others in the Void City, she stood out as bright and beautiful.

Just now, many people had their eyes on her.

"Sister Lulu is very smart. She will definitely learn the breeding techniques. After she gets married and has children, she can go to the inner city..."

John muttered softly, "She can surely live a long time."

"Marry?" Carl glanced at him. "Don’t you plan to pursue her?"

"..." John opened his mouth, looking downcast. "I’m not worthy."

"Heh..." Carl laughed softly, not prying further, but pointed ahead. "What’s the difference between the inner and outer city?"

He had noticed that the Void City was divided into inner and outer areas, separated by a stone wall that was neither high nor low.

"Only children under seven, pregnant women, and those who have made special contributions to the Void City can enter the inner city."

John’s face glowed with envy. "I haven’t been in there since I came out five years ago."

"Oh!"

"The Divine Envoy also lives in the inner city."

He was only twelve years old but resembled a teenager of sixteen or seventeen, exuding both maturity and innocence.

The streets of the Void City were muddy, flanked by houses made of piled stones, with listless people sitting or lying around.

Very few had a sparkle in their eyes.

Arriving in front of a building, John said, "Sir Divine Envoy, this is where Uncle Makin lives. He’s a disciple of Divine Envoy Bo Wen, who is one of the two Divine Envoys of our Void City. To enter the inner city, you must get Uncle Makin’s consent."

Carl nodded, indicating his understanding.

"KNOCK!"

"KNOCK KNOCK!"

"Uncle Makin!"

John knocked on the door. "Are you home?"

"Who is it?" A burly man with a full beard impatiently opened the door, asking, "What’s the matter?"

"Hm!"

No sooner had he spoken than his gaze fell on Carl, a hint of suspicion flickering in his eyes. "A stranger?"

This Void City had just a few hundred people; even if he didn’t know their names, he knew their faces, yet he had never seen Carl.

John quickly said, "Uncle Makin, this is Carl, a Divine Envoy from another place. His Void City is gone, and he just saved me outside."

"A Divine Envoy?" The Big Man, Makin, his expression changing slightly, quickly gestured with his hand. "Please, come in and sit."

The space inside the house wasn’t large. A stone table was set in the middle, with some miscellaneous items and a stele on it.

Carl scanned the interior of the house, his gaze imperceptibly shifting, then sat down on a stone stool at the other’s invitation.

"Mr. Karl," Makin rubbed his hands together, chuckling dryly. "These past few days my tutor has been away from the Void City on business. You... you can find a place to stay in the outer city first."

"I’ll tell him as soon as he gets back."

"Hm." Carl nodded, seemingly casually picking up a stone from the table. "This Divine Stone seems a bit special?"

Divine Stones are essential for Void City dwellers when venturing out. They can be used to suppress one’s own aura and fight against evil beings.

They’re also used to craft various equipment.

Like the grey blanket John carried with him, which had many pieces of Divine Stone sewn into it—a lifeline for him.

"This one is divine essence, containing Divine Power, but I’ve used quite a bit of it for cultivation." Makin sighed. "Speaking of which, the recent output of divine essence from the mines has been dwindling. It’s been a while since we dug up any divine essence, only ordinary Divine Stones."

Divine essence? A product of the mines.

Carl’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart stirred. He sensed something familiar in this divine essence.

Source Material!

Source Material that could be directly used to add points!

"Makin," Carl asked, "may I enter the mine?"

"That..." Makin’s expression shifted. "I need to ask my tutor."

"As you know, the mine is fundamental to the existence of the Void City. Outsiders are not allowed to enter freely."

"Yes." Carl nodded. "The other Divine Envoy is also not in the Void City?"

"He is," Makin said cautiously. "But he is currently unavailable to meet people."

"Alright then!"

Carl sighed.

He could hear the caution in the other’s voice, most likely due to insufficient trust in him, whose origins were unclear.

Both Divine Envoys might not be in the Void City.

But Makin did not dare say it outright, fearing Carl might do something unstoppable. After all, even with constraints, a Divine Envoy was far more powerful than others.

"Then..." Carl’s gaze shifted towards the stele on the table. "May I have a look at this object?"

"Of course," Makin did not refuse this time, extending his hand to indicate. "This is the Divine Gift that came into being with our Void City. Several Divine Envoys have comprehended cultivation Magic Doors from it."

"You can look at it as long as you like."

"Hmm... Divine Envoy Carl, your Void City must have also had a Divine Gift, right? I wonder if it has been preserved?"

"No." Carl shook his head. "I am the only one left."

"Then it must have been a Desolation-level malefic entity," Makin nodded. "Only a Desolation-level malefic entity could breach the mine’s force of rules, extinguishing the Divine Fire of the Void City."

"Fortunately, our Void City’s Divine Fire is still burning, so you, Divine Envoy Carl, can stay and make a good life here."

He was hopeful; having an additional Divine Envoy in his own Void City meant that they would have the power to face any troubles.

Little did he know that Carl was not from another Void City, and he knew nothing about the various terms Makin mentioned.

Divine Gift...

Looking at the stele in front of him, with its entwined, root-like patterns that seemed to hold some secret,

Carl gently touched it.

Instantly, BOOM! The Spiritual Inner Sea suddenly burst forth with a flash of lightning.
