Chapter 514: Chapter 9: Invitation and Careful Consideration

Arriving at a secluded pool nearby, Seren began to delve into the topic and asked, “I’ve reported your request to my teacher, and you’re asking for books on rune structures, at the secret skill level, right?”

Lynch nodded, “That’s correct.”

Seren looked at him and asked, “My teacher wants me to ask you, what is the purpose of your request for this knowledge? This type of knowledge doesn’t seem to have much to do with your cultivation path, does it?”

Lynch hesitated for a moment.

After thinking for a while, he started to explain, “It’s like this, you’re aware of the Adventurer Guild here with me, right? Some time ago, I built an altar…”

This kind of thing is definitely not something that can be kept secret, because once the research yields results, it will be publicly endowed with extraordinary power to adventurers.

“That’s roughly it.”

Lynch briefly described the ins and outs of the matter.

After hearing the account, Seren frowned.

Lynch raised an eyebrow, “What’s wrong?”

“So that’s what it is…”

Seren shook his head and then explained, “It’s nothing. Actually, my teacher already guessed your purpose before this, and it aligns well with what you’ve said.”

Lynch said, “It seems that I am quite a focus of attention for you all.”

In fact, Lynch also knew that there were surely informants from Fran in his territory. After all, his Adventurer Guild currently consumes a vast amount of resources daily, all of which are borne by Fran. Given such a significant cost, they must be monitoring him closely to ensure he is not slacking, right?

Seren rolled his eyes, “What do you think?”

He paused and then explained, “To be honest with you, you’re somewhat of a celebrity in our upper circles, though not exceedingly famous. Your name does appear frequently in the field of space magic.”

He paused again, half-jokingly adding, “And there are a few old folks who have mentioned more than once about abducting you.”

Lynch was startled and immediately became vigilant.

Seeing his expression, the Fatty added, “I’m just joking, don’t worry. We are Fran, bearing the responsibility of the entire Wizard World. We cannot ignore the consequences and impacts when doing things, even if we wanted to do such a thing, there’s no way to do it.”

“Many people don’t understand; they think that having power means they can act recklessly without regard for order. In reality, it is precisely because there is order that there is power. Power is granted by order, not the other way around.”

Lynch did not respond but instead asked back, “Are there many people who know about space runes? Wasn’t it agreed initially to keep it a secret?”

“Not many.”

The Fatty shook his head and continued, “After the information about space runes was sent back, a special Wizard Tower was established, and a team of space-magic wizards was recruited for research. Only a very few know the origin of these space runes, and the confidentiality level is top-notch.”

Pausing for a moment, the Fatty continued, “However, my mentor still asked me to extend an invitation to you to develop at Fran.”

“It seems after your data was submitted, there has been significant progress in the field of space magic, with various achievements already made.”

“In our place, countless eyes from around the world are watching. This field of space magic, which has been stagnant for many years, suddenly showing marked improvement, even a fool would know there’s definitely something amiss, tracing it back sooner or later will lead to you.”

The Fatty earnestly said, “In our place, Fran can guarantee your absolute personal safety, no force, no matter how powerful, nor any wizard, regardless of their might, could harm a single hair of yours.”

“Additionally…”

“You don’t need to worry about the forces you’ve established here, we will take over them entirely, all resources gained will still belong to you. We will only send people to manage them for you, there will be no impact on your will. How about it?”

Lynch furrowed his brow.

The Fatty’s sudden invitation indeed caught him off guard, leaving him momentarily unsure of how to respond.

However, what he said was indeed not without reason.

Analyzing space runes is a unique skill of his. The space documents excavated from the vast underground city from the Acadica Era can only be deciphered by piecing these knowledge fragments from those souls.

It indeed is an incredible feat, something of tremendous research value for those wizards whose curiosity overrides all else.

In fact, most wizards in this world are quite unreasonable. For those wizards with a very direct style, they won’t waste words. As long as they’re interested and capable, they would directly take action.

For now, his deeds regarding space runes have not been leaked, within the Witch Domain, he seldom displays space power. The only large-scale use of space power was crafting a teleportation scroll using relatively basic knowledge of space, making it hard to suspect the underground city’s Acadica space knowledge. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelꜰire.net

But if word were to get out massively that he possesses the Acadica’s space knowledge and the capability to decipher it, then predicting what might happen becomes uncertain.

Lynch hesitated for a moment, “Your invitation is too sudden, I need to go back and think about it in detail.”

The Fatty nodded, “Alright, give it some serious thought.”

“My teacher wants me to convey that there are very few Wizard Powers in the world capable and willing to support your current research. Among these few, there isn’t anyone who can provide you with more ample resources and a better research environment than us.”

Lynch nodded, “Understood.”

The Fatty said, “Well, back to the matter of rune structures then.”

He spoke as he took out a Space Ring and handed it to Lynch, “The materials you requested have already been prepared by my teacher.”

Hmm? So straightforward?

This had greatly exceeded Lynch’s expectations.

He reached out to take it, but the Fatty withdrew his hand first.

Lynch looked over in confusion, just in time to see Seren staring steadily at him, looking quite serious.

Seren said, “My teacher wants me to convey to you, when you’re doing these things, have you seriously thought about the consequences after thoroughly considering them?”

Lynch asked, “What do you mean?”

Seren said, “Wizards originate from humans; humans themselves are wizards, both are of the same origin and kind whether from a physiological or soul standpoint, even existing with no reproductive isolation, able to breed with one another.”

“Desires that wizards possess are likewise desires humans possess. Wizards fear death and pursue immortality, wouldn’t humans be the same?”

“The difference is wizards possess power, thus having the strength to pursue this path, but you’ve seen what kind of things we’ve wizards done in pursuit of eternal knowledge?”

Seren said, with a bit of a self-deprecating tone, “No matter how you place it in storybooks, our group probably wouldn’t be considered a positive role, right?”

Lynch remained silent.

Indeed, no matter what claims of research and knowledge are made, wizards’ hands are always stained with the blood of countless horrific experiments behind every piece of knowledge.

Seren continued, “And now another group possessing the same desires as us, once power is handed to them… are you certain they will still be willing to accept the natural cycle, accepting life, aging, sickness, and death at peace? Will they still willingly accept the rule of us wizards?”

Seren placed the ring into Lynch’s hand, “My teacher wants me to tell you to think carefully, his meaning is not to dissuade you from doing these things, but to be fully prepared, always ensuring the situation is under your control.”
