Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 524 - 31 The Guidance of Fate
City of Death.
With the blessings of the God of Agriculture’s Divine’s Favored, the city had become increasingly prosperous in just a few short months.
Valentine was not powerful, but his planting techniques were beyond imagination, capable of turning barren fields into fertile land.
By using Divine Arts, he could achieve a yield of 10,000 pounds per acre in three days, or grow 1,000 fruits on a peach tree in one day, like a miracle!
No, it was a miracle.
This method of directly increasing agricultural yields with Divine Power was different from witchcraft and could not be learned overnight.
Under the enthusiastic promotion of several Divine’s Favored, more and more common folk flocked from all directions.
And the more believers there were, the stronger the Divine’s Favored became.
Even Mei, who had been backstabbed, had already completely recovered and once again received the Divine’s favor.
In a few years, perhaps she could advance to become an Upper-level Vassal.
On the other hand, Mei Weiya informed Carl of her new research progress.
"In another world, there is the concept of the three disasters, six calamities, and nine tribulations, where people practice various Spells to avoid these fates."
"By coincidence, I’ve obtained an ancient Great Witch’s Three Disks Skill, which can perform transformation arts to evade disasters."
Mei Weiya briefly introduced her Cultivation Technique, saying, "The mark on your body can also be concealed using the methods in it, but I cannot teach you the Three Disks Skill."
Carl nodded, indicating his understanding.
Such fundamental cultivation Magic Doors related to one’s own practices were definitely not to be taught to outsiders, to prevent being targeted.
"I can’t teach the Cultivation Technique, but I can share some convenient Magic Doors from it." Mei Weiya took out a thick book and handed it over. "Everything I can teach is in there."
"Furthermore..."
"According to the Magic Doors recorded in the book, I’ve re-refined a Third-tier Linglong Pearl that I once obtained. I reckon the energy within it should last five or six days, and when the energy is exhausted, find a concealed place to recharge."
Carl’s eyes lit up.
Leaving the City of Death, Carl returned to the volcano where his residence was now located.
Halfway up the volcano, there was an inconspicuous cave entrance. Entering the cave and following the passageway, one could see a grand hall.
The entire hall was built from flame spiritual stones, containing a frightening amount of fire elements. Unless made of special materials, anything that came here would be burnt to ash, including even the hardest rocks.
Passing through the grand hall, a familiar scene emerged.
Tortuga Island!
A Wizard Tower stood tall on the remnants of Tortuga Island, with a few scattered buildings situated around it.
Continuing forward.
A misty hotspring caught his eye.
Carl strolled in, his body slowly sinking to the bottom of the hotspring, arriving at a specially constructed quiet room.
Three Disks Skill!
Linglong Pearl!
Looking at the items before him, Carl’s gaze flickered.
Mei Weiya, cold and ruthless in nature, selfish and profit-driven, has killed who knows how many thousands over the centuries to preserve her Cultivation. To be so generous with me, her demands must not be small!
Dealing with one person...
Who could it be that makes her so willing to spend such resources?
Shaking his head, he put these thoughts aside for later and focused on the two items he had acquired.
"Detailed Annotations of the Three Disks Skill."
He casually flipped it open, and Carl’s eyes shone brightly.
Bloodline Magic?
Similar in some ways, but not exactly the same.
The Three Disks Skill was known for its ability to change in a thousand ways, but at its core, the changes were still of one’s own flesh.
That is, even if you transform into a bird, this bird is anything but frail, still possessing most of the abilities of the person performing the transformation.
Witchcraft is different.
After a Wizard transforms into a Stone Statue Ghost, the original physical traits no longer exist, and there are limitations to casting Spells.
One can learn from others’ methods. Although it’s not quite the same and lacks the fundamental Magic Door, it greatly helps in the study of the Bloodline path, Carl mused.
Compared to that, the Three Disks Skill is much more sophisticated than the Bloodline Magic I currently have. It can directly perform transformations without the need for the Essence Blood or genetic blueprints of other creatures. And as one advances in Cultivation Level, the transformations become stronger, which is much more convenient than Bloodline Magic.
Another top-tier Divine Skill, it’s a shame there isn’t a fundamental Magic Door.
Shaking his head, he turned to the section on how to use transformation arts to conceal one’s internal energy and avoid calamities.
Compared to the previous rough overview, Mei Weiya had been quite generous in recording this knowledge in detail.
「Several days later.」
Carl picked up the Linglong Pearl, holding it gently in his hands and began to refine it silently.
Although Mei Weiya possesses the Three Disks Skill, she is clearly not skilled in refining external objects. With my experience creating Wizard Towers and Inheritance Witch Artifacts, I can re-refine this object to increase its power.
Linglong Pearl: A Third-tier Curio.
Function: It can conceal one’s internal energy and enable stealth, and has certain acceleration and insight abilities.
In theory, Carl, holding the Linglong Pearl, walked through the crowd, and not a single person took notice of him.
Even if he beat someone up right there, it would not draw any attention.
This ability to erase one’s own presence clearly involved the power of rules, so it was a Third-tier Curio.
However, while this ability could fool ordinary people, it was much harder to deceive perceptive strong ones.
"HUFF..."
Putting away the Linglong Pearl, Carl pondered.
Mei Weiya probably estimated too optimistically. If I really want to conceal my aura, this thing could probably only support me for three or four days, and that’s with me actively using a Secret Technique.
So what?
A few days’ time, a quick trip back to the Magic Forest and then immediately returning... it’s doubtful I could do much.
Packing away the item, Carl looked up at the wall above, his gaze distant.
Leave?
He hadn’t forgotten the words Ayala said before her death.
No gods!
Leave!
...
Ayala, even if you did receive the legacy of the God of Fate, there was no need to speak in half-truths.
Is the arrangement of fate always this vague?
Sighing, Carl couldn’t help but rub his forehead.
In any world, the God of Fate is quite special. Although not high in Level, they possess an observational power even the Main Gods find hard to comprehend.
Ayala must have seen something in him, and her last few words were definitely not delirium.
She was trying to highlight something, but it was not convenient for her to be direct.
Hmm... Leave?
With a slight shift in his eyes, Carl quickly entered the Divine Domain Fragment.
Magic Forest.
Having not returned for a long time, the brisk and teeming vitality revitalized every cell in his body.
Without hesitation, Carl’s hands moved swiftly as he cast a Secret Technique on himself. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Seal!"
Instantly, his Cultivation plummeted from the Second-tier Late Stage, dropping all the way to the First Order Early Stage, and his spirit also became weary and listless.
He then took out the Linglong Pearl and hung it on his body.
"HUFF..."
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Carl summoned a Magic Flying Carpet and flew towards the direction of the Six Rings Tower.
「Before long.」
"Carl!"
Upon receiving the news, Daniel stepped out of the Wizard Tower, looking at Carl, who appeared spiritless with white at the temples. Daniel’s eyes revealed a touch of complexity as he said, "It’s been some years."
"Yes, it has." The Carl that appeared now was his true self. Not Conni, the master of the Dream Market wanted throughout the entire Magic Forest, but a disciple of the Six Rings Tower.
Even if only in name.
He sighed and bowed, "Wizard Daniel, I wish to see Elder Vulcan."
"Hmm..." Daniel didn’t immediately agree but asked, "You need him for something?"
"Yes," Carl thought for a moment, then said, "I want to use the Star Gate to return to the Eastern Kingdom Continent."
"Hm?" Daniel was taken aback. "Go back?"
The Eastern Kingdom Continent was a barren land for Wizards; going back meant that the path of witchcraft would hardly see any further progress.
However, seeing Carl’s current state, Daniel fell silent.
Indeed! Originally a disciple of the Six Rings Tower, Carl had become practically invisible after offending the Green family.
Never appearing within the Six Rings Tower’s domain for so many years, his appearance alone suggested how difficult his life had been. After all those years, there was hardly any advancement in his Cultivation.
"These past few years, the Green family’s matters may have nothing to do with me, but I had offended them before," Carl explained. "I heard that the next time the Star Gate opens, a powerful Third-tier individual from the Green family will come over, and I fear they may..."
"Target me."
"Perhaps not, but in my current state, there’s no future for me in the Magic Forest anyway, so it might be better to go back and retire."
Daniel understood and slowly nodded his head.
