Chapter 116
“Master, Wizard Ido is here.”
Lynn glanced upstairs. Ido was likely drawn by the brute force demon’s breakthrough.
For Lynn, he knew about Ido’s changes, but these goblins didn’t. They still thought of Ido as she was before. So their attitude towards her remained friendly. Over the past six months, Lynn and Ido had grown closer.
Lynn asked Ido if she remembered anything before coming to Demon City, but she shook her head each time, claiming she didn’t.
Eventually, Lynn stopped asking.
“Ask her to wait outside,” Lynn instructed, heading to the ground floor reception room.
Ido greeted Lynn but her gaze kept drifting behind him.
“What are you looking at?” Lynn found it amusing.
“Oh, nothing,” Ido quickly averted her gaze.
“Looking for the brute force demon?” Ido had been coming over frequently lately. There were hardly any residents nearby, and since they lived close to each other, she often came over to hang out when she had nothing else to do. As a result, she had become quite familiar with the brute force demon, and Lynn doesn’t see her meditating much these days.“Don’t you meditate?” Lynn asked.
“I do. I meditate every night before sleeping,” Ido replied.
Knowing some of the inside story, Lynn felt a bit regretful. He’d heard Ido had great talent. If there hadn’t been any accidents, the young girl before him might have become a great wizard by now.
The mental strength acquired from nearly three thousand years of meditation must be incredibly high.
“The brute force demon just broke through. It still needs to adapt to its new strength. Let’s give it a few days,” Lynn told Ido.
“No need for that trouble. Come to my place!” Ido suggested.
“I have a training room specifically for testing magic and physical attacks,” she explained.
It was the first time Lynn heard about this secret.
“I’ll have the brute force demon accompany you,” Lynn decided.
“What about you? Aren’t you coming to see?” Ido asked.
“I have an experiment to conduct. I won’t accompany you this time,” Lynn replied.
Then Lynn called for the brute force demon. Ido looked at the extra pair of arms on the brute force demon with curiosity.
“Master, here are the expenses that Bowa organized,” Lauren approached, handing Lynn a ledger detailing the laboratory expenses.
Lynn casually flipped through a few pages before closing it and tossing it back to Lauren, who caught it awkwardly.
“That’s enough, I don’t suspect you guys,” Lynn reassured them.
He knew Lauren hurriedly handed over the expense records because he had just shown some concern about the living expenses.
“It’s because recently many goblins have had nothing to do besides training, and many female goblins have become pregnant and given birth to lots of little goblins,” Lauren explained.
Little goblins? Lynn became interested.
Previously, he had been focused on experiments and hadn’t paid much attention to such matters, but now he was taking a rare break. “Take me to see.”
In the room, the floor was covered with a lot of dry straw and pebbles. Many little goblins, barely half a meter tall with skin that was a tender yellow tinged with a hint of green, chased each other around. Their laughter echoed throughout the room.
“Lord emissary of the gods!” An adult goblin guard spotted Lynn’s arrival and quickly bowed respectfully.
The adult goblins in the room all stood up, placing their hands on either side of their waists.
The playful little goblins noticed the seriousness of the adults and gradually slowed their footsteps, looking cautiously at the unfamiliar human who entered the room.
There were over a hundred little goblins in the room. As Lynn walked, he heard similar sounds coming from the adjacent room. “How many new goblins are there?” Lynn asked.
“Over five hundred.”
So many. It seemed goblins did indeed have strong reproductive abilities. In just two years, the number had doubled.
“No problem, let the goblins reproduce freely. But these new goblins shouldn’t just play around. Give them some lessons in ideology, some basic training, mainly to cultivate their combat qualities so they can truly enter the battlefield,” Lynn casually remarked.
“Yes!” Lauren agreed.
The other goblins, upon hearing that they were free to have children, cheered with joy. As for the idea of the children going to the battlefield, they didn’t care at all because that’s how they themselves had come into the world.
“Wizard Lynn.” After descending the stairs, Lynn went to Liszt’s laboratory.
The building was quite large. Lynn had built Liszt a separate magic potion laboratory on the second underground floor, and he also had a bedroom next door.
Walking to and from work every day takes up too much time. Why not just live here? After finishing work, he could sleep right away and continue working after waking up. That was called being considerate.
This went on for over six months. During this time, the Meditation Acceleration Mutation potion that Lynn had Liszt create sold very well in the market, earning Lynn a considerable amount of magic stones.
Lynn’s pricing was quite reasonable: two bottles for one magic stone, while the cost of production was only one magic stone for ten bottles.
Looking at the tired-looking Liszt—with his dark circles under his eyes and scruffy beard, he appeared worn out, looking almost ten years older than he actually was—Lynn reflected on the more than 3,000 magic stones he had earned in the past half-year.
Lynn also recognized Liszt’s efforts.
“You won’t have to work on this potion all day anymore,” Lynn said.
Liszt’s eyes brightened with surprise.
“You’ll only have to work on it half a day from now on,” Lynn added.
Liszt’s smile froze.
“The remaining time, you can use it for studying. You’ll assist me first,” Lynn said.
Liszt blinked, carefully recalling what Lynn had just said.
Making sure he hadn’t misheard, he was asking him to be his assistant?
But didn’t Wizard Lynn just start learning magic potion studies?
Liszt slandered inwardly, but he didn’t dare say it aloud. He wasn’t foolish.
But soon Liszt realized he was wrong! Very wrong!
In the laboratory, Liszt watched as Wizard Lynn skillfully handled the production of magic potions. His mind went blank. With this level of proficiency, you’re telling me you’ve only been learning magic potion studies for just over half a year?
Even he might not be able to achieve such proficiency.
Moreover, Lynn demonstrated a profound understanding of the properties of various plants and minerals, indicating that he had thoroughly mastered them.
In fact, memorization wasn’t difficult; for many wizard apprentices, it was a common task. They have been taught to memorize the knowledge of various wizards from a young age. Although Liszt was surprised by Lynn’s ability to memorize all the contents of the books in just half a year, he attributed it to Lynn having a good memory.
But now Lynn wasn’t just memorizing the contents of the books; he was also comprehending and integrating them, which left Liszt stunned.
This can only mean that Lynn has a remarkable talent in this area.
Liszt believed that Wizard Lynn was a genius in potion studies, far superior to himself.
Thinking about this, Liszt felt a mixture of envy and loneliness.
Back in the original wizarding academy, he wasn’t considered the worst among his cohort. In fact, his talent was quite decent. However, after coming to the demon wizard academy, Liszt realized that there were increasingly more formidable wizards.
No wonder Lynn was selected to join the demon wizard academy.
“This is my improved Meditation Acceleration Mutation potion. It enhances meditation efficiency by approximately 20-30%. I’ve added some dried aura powder, which amplifies perception and has a mild addictive effect. Plus, the price of aura powder isn’t too expensive. From now on, this potion will be called Meditation Treasure 2.0, and the original one will be renamed as Meditation Treasure 1.0,” Lynn explained.
Liszt had no objections to the names Lynn chose. In fact, there were many among the wizards who were not quite normal in their minds, and often they came up with all kinds of strange names.
At least Wizard Lynn’s choice of names was relatively normal.
