Chapter 81 Low-Level Luck, Periodic Lamp
The Maple Leaf Breathing Technique given to him was a rubbing, but Lin Wei didn't care. He gently flipped through the rubbing in his hand, as long as he could practice it.
"If I can come back, I will. My real name is Lin Wei. Your Highness, thank you for your care. Farewell." After saying that, Lin Wei pushed off with his legs and, as swift as a swallow, disappeared into Maple Leaf Castle in a few leaps, turning into a small black dot in the distance.
"Lin Wei?" Watching the departing figure, the maple leaf Prince was toying with fell from his hand. He tilted his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh, "The master's true name must be recorded in the family genealogy. I now have a friend who is a genius knight. Perhaps he really will become a wizard in the future! I have no regrets in this life..."
……
At this moment, Lin Wei was cultivating in his carriage, dust billowing and wheels rolling outside. He had paid for a safe route and hired some mercenaries to help him maintain order and prevent harassment from bandits.
"There are still two months until we reach Misty Hidden City. I'll focus on mastering the Koi Breathing Technique that Prince Koi gave me. Let's see what's so special about it," Lin Wei muttered to himself, closing his eyes and concentrating.
A week later, Lin Wei successfully learned the Koi Breathing Technique. He slowly opened his eyes, a look of surprise flashing in them.
"It's much faster now. With the support of three sixth-level breathing techniques, practicing new breathing techniques is much easier."
Two months later, Lin Wei's carriage stopped in front of a gray city. A thin layer of mist surrounded the city, and there were not many pedestrians. Most of them wore gray robes to cover their bodies, only revealing pairs of wary eyes.
"Sir, we've arrived at Mist-Hidden City," the leading mercenary said, reining in his horse.
The journey was relatively smooth. The mercenaries dealt with the several groups of bandits they encountered on their own. The adults in the carriage only appeared when eating; otherwise, they spent the rest of their time cultivating, which made the mercenaries find them very mysterious.
[Koi Breathing Technique experience points +45, after being tripled by Deep Blue Face experience points +135]
[Koi Breathing Technique: Tier 3 → Tier 4 (13/10000), Effect: Low-level Luck]
[Low-level luck: You occasionally avoid disasters and slightly increase the probability of daily gains]
A series of prompts appeared in Lin Wei's mind, and he knew that he had broken through in the Koi Breathing Technique.
"Low-level luck? That's an unexpected bonus." Lin Wei's eyes widened in surprise, his mouth slightly agape. "Luck seems to be a bit of a mystery. Nobody knows how accurate it is. I need to keep practicing."
Despite saying that, Lin Wei was in a great mood. He lifted the carriage curtain, his face beaming with delight, and threw down a handful of gold vouchers.
"You've worked hard. Share these with the brothers; it's an extra gift from me. These horses are also a reward for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wei appeared at the city gate of Misty Hidden City in a few leaps, and followed the example of others to merge into the crowd and disappear.
Things happened very quickly. The group of mercenaries were dumbfounded. The mercenary captain, as if waking from a dream, stared wide-eyed and gaped, saying, "With that skill, our lord must be a great knight, and a very strong one at that. Brothers, let's go back. Our lord is very generous; we're going to have a good New Year this year."
"If I could become a knight in my lifetime, it would bring honor to my family. Not to mention a great knight," a mercenary exclaimed with longing in his eyes.
"Stop dreaming, let's go. This Misty City is a bit eerie, the streets are gloomy, let's hurry up and leave." A mercenary rubbed his arms and urged nervously.
……
Lin Wei carefully followed the address given by Moro, navigating the winding streets of Misty City until he found an underground bar. A dilapidated sign hung outside the bar, swaying precariously in the wind.
"Everyone I've met along the way has been very mysterious. I never imagined there was such a city on the continent. But they all seem to be involved in underground businesses. Their cultivation levels are about the same as in ordinary cities, and there aren't many knights." Lin Wei frowned, pausing as he walked. "I'm probably the strongest person in the entire city."
Lin Wei entered the bar without any trouble. The bar was filled with a pungent smell of alcohol and sweat. Apart from the scantily clad women dancing on the dance floor, the bar was full of people who were completely drunk, some lying on the tables and others slumped on the floor.
"As Moro said, there is a unique pentagonal lamp placed in front of the person holding the lamp," Lin Wei said, wrinkling his nose as he searched for it with difficulty in the crowd.
Lin Wei searched for a long time before finally finding the small lamp in a corner. Behind the lamp, an elegant old nobleman was slowly sipping his wine, completely out of place with the chaotic surroundings. His fingers were gently stroking the wine glass.
"Found it." Lin Wei's eyes lit up, and he sat down opposite him with a smile, saying, "Are you waiting for someone?"
He could sense that the other party was just a standard knight, with average strength, the kind of extraordinary power that begins to decline with age, posing no threat to him, and his aura was somewhat disordered.
As soon as I sat down, a pale blue light suddenly appeared on the small lamp, turning the orange light into a pale blue, which was quite mysterious and stood out conspicuously in the dimly lit bar.
"Huh? Water element affinity?" The old nobleman suddenly became excited, his eyes gleaming. He hurriedly took out a black cloth to cover the small lamp and said in a low voice, "Please come with me to the private room. There are too many people here, it's not suitable to talk business."
"No problem." Lin Wei was in a great mood, relieved that he had found the right place. He stood up and dusted himself off.
He couldn't create such a color-changing lamp; it must be something extraordinary and definitely related to a wizard.
Soon, the two arrived at a quiet private room one after the other. The room was simply furnished with only a table and a few chairs.
"Your Excellency, please have a seat." The middle-aged nobleman introduced himself with a broad smile, saying warmly, "My name is Munger, and I am the Lamplighter of the Mungikant family in this generation. My mission as Lamplighter is to search among the mortals for potential wizards."
"Hello, my name is Lin Wei," Lin Wei said politely, nodding slightly.
"Lord Lin Wei, do you wish to inquire about matters related to wizards?"
"Yes, I want to become a wizard." Lin Wei nodded, his eyes resolute.
"You have a talent for the water element, so you can definitely practice meditation, which means you can become a wizard apprentice," Monger said with a smile. "However, I need to test you again to find out your affinity for the other elements."
"No problem." Although Lin Wei didn't understand, he saw that Monger's attitude was very friendly and amiable, so he relaxed.
"Please take a drop of your blood and inject it into this periodic lamp," Monger said solemnly, pointing to the periodic lamp on the table.
