The Magician's Journey

  Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. I reckon that Terry should be coming to pick me up soon. In these three months, my magical abilities have made tremendous progress under Nant's guidance, and my spiritual power has also expanded greatly. What excites me the most is that I've learned spatial magic, although it has many limitations and dangers. As long as I'm careful, it shouldn't be a problem. Breaking the rules of magic is truly dazzling. With this magic, I have the confidence to confront the undead grand magician, Shude, head-on. Now, I'm not too afraid of his pursuit, and I even have a faint sense of anticipation in my heart - if Shude could find me now, that would be great. In a direct confrontation with him, I have a 70% chance of defeating him, and at the very least, I can severely injure him.

  The magical effect of this elixir has almost doubled, and the magical power of ordinary magicians is already beyond my reach. Now, if I go to the Floating City for appraisal, I can easily obtain the certification of a high-level magician, and even as a great magician, I have hope to pass through.

  I sat in the corner of the wall alone, lost in thought, thinking about these things, and then flipping through the things in my ring out of boredom. Those things were all left to me by Teacher Ankala. I took out the "Staff of the Gods" and played with it in my hand, missing the way Teacher Ankala used to hold this staff. Now, although I think the teacher's magic is no longer a secret, the teacher was the one who led me into the magical hall of wonders, and I still miss him to this day. Those days have passed, and now I even have the confidence to cast the magic that Teacher taught me faster and more powerfully. This is thanks to the elven mage Soaile, as well as Nante's teachings - they helped my magic reach a new level, no, several new levels.

  As I thought of this, I glanced at Nante's soul, which was quietly waiting for me to recover my energy. This great and pitiful magician had taught me and opened a new door for me, raising the peak that I had originally thought was the highest by several levels. The lost spatial magic allowed the survival ability of magicians to take another big step forward. Now, even when facing assassins and archers, I am fearless. I thanked Nante from the bottom of my heart and became more determined to help him escape this prison.

  "Where did you get that magic wand in your hand?" Nante asked suddenly.

  I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I remembered the mural in which Nantes was holding that magic wand. I said: "This magic wand was left to me by my teacher, and my teacher said it's called the Wand of the Gods. I saw the magic wand you used before in the fresco of the Yongdao, and it looks very similar to this one."

  Nanter hesitated for a moment, then said: "This is indeed the magic wand I used before. I later gave it to one of my students. It seems that you are probably the nth disciple of my student."

  Nantes paused for a moment and continued: "This magic wand can not only greatly amplify the power of magic, but also has a secret, do you know?"

  Nantes' words piqued my interest, and I curiously asked: "When my teacher handed it over to me, he did say that this magic wand had a secret, but he didn't know what it was either. Can you tell me?"

  Nante said, "Alright, since you have so much to do with me, it's no problem telling you. Besides, you've already learned space magic, and this magic wand will be even more useful for you. Actually, this magic wand is a spatial transmission tool. Use my method to sink your consciousness into its center and tell me what you see."

  I followed Nante's words and inserted my perception into the magic wand, I clearly saw a panoramic view of the Yajin continent rotating inside the magic wand. On the map, there were many white light spots shining. I told Nante what I saw.

  "Nantes said: 'Those white light spots are the spatial coordinates I left behind. As long as you follow these coordinates, you can use long-distance transmission, and the magic wand can reduce your consumption by half when using space transmission.'"

  I was thrilled and delighted to hold the magic wand, looking at it over and over again. What a great thing! With this, I can almost use space transmission once in a while, and go to any place on the continent of Aqin with incredible speed. Looking at the magic wand, my heart is blooming with joy.

  After a long time, I put the Staff of the Gods into the storage ring. At the moment when the magic staff was put in, I suddenly remembered the box that the high-level undead magician who killed Shude's student got. I took out the box and asked Natri: "By the way, I accidentally obtained this thing when I killed an undead magician last time. You are knowledgeable, help me see what this is?"

  "Nanter said: 'What's in this box? You open it and let me see, my perception can't penetrate this box. What important thing needs to be packed in such a delicate box?'"

  I opened the box, and suddenly I felt a violent fluctuation of Nante's soul coming over. Nante's voice rose again, and I clearly heard his voice trembling: "This... this is the Soul Pearl you helped me find! You've had it all along! Well done!"

  I stared at the black bead in surprise and said, "So this is the Soul-Hosting Bead you were talking about. I thought it was something else."

  "Nanter excitedly said: 'Quick, according to my method, guide me into this bead. Once my soul enters inside, you cover the box and take me out. When we get outside, you reverse the method and put me out again, then I can re-enter reincarnation!'"

  I nodded and said: "Okay, Professor Nante, so you're leaving now?"

  "Nantes said, 'Yes, thank you, Yalik. Although I've taught you for so long, compared to your rescue of me, all this is nothing. I have nothing else to give you, only a word of thanks.'"

  I shook my head and said, "No, it's me who should be saying thank you. Thank you, Professor Nante. I will never forget your teachings. Let me take you out of here now, and you'll be free soon."

  I sat down in front of the Soul Orb, released my senses according to Natt's method, and guided Natt's soul into the Soul Orb. When Natt's soul entered, I opened my eyes, and the Soul Orb emitted a dark, misty glow. I carefully covered the box with the lid. Then, I collected Natt's magical equipment and put it in the storage ring. After that, I went to several other tomb chambers and took as many magical materials and treasures as possible. My ring space was too small to hold so many things, so I could only take a portion of them. Anyway, with spatial magic, I made a mark on this island, so I can come back and retrieve them at any time, so there's no rush.

  After doing all this, I stood up and silently said in my heart: "Mr. Nantes, I'll take you out now."
