Free Web NovelChapter 21: Chapter 21: Magic Organ
"Truth, truth, what is truth?"
Andre returned to his room with the book, pondering this question.
’Should I try it?’ The thought occurred to Andre. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Since he couldn’t imagine it and couldn’t get any useful information from the book, why not just give it a try?
Andre placed the book on the table. Following the instructions of the Meditation Technique, he mobilized his Magic Power and channeled it into his eyes.
As the Magic Power flowed into his eyes, something magical happened before him.
All sorts of lights appeared in his vision.
"Is this truth?"
Andre didn’t quite understand. How could these lights represent truth?
’Within the world, energy flows... Are these lights energy?’
Andre recalled the book’s description of the Eye of Truth and looked around.
The furniture in the room had almost no light, but the light was most intense from the book on the table and the Potions in the wooden box.
The light from the Potions was the most dazzling, while the light from the book was the most mellow and rich.
Andre turned to look at the Wizard Inheritance Hall, and instantly, a world of light exploded before his eyes.
Countless lights roamed within the Wizard Inheritance Hall, and some areas even had specific patterns.
’Those are the areas only Official Wizards can go to!’
Relying on his memory, Andre distinguished the locations of the different lights.
After a short while, this strange world vanished from his sight.
’The amount of Magic Power I get from the System is just too little!’
Andre blinked. A feeling of emptiness spread from his chest throughout his body.
’Next, I need to construct a Magic Vortex or a Magic Heart!’
Andre took out the Beast Hide Scroll and looked at the cultivation goal for the next stage.
The Magic Vortex and the Magic Heart represented a crucial stage for a Wizard, and they were also the standard that separated Elementary Wizard Apprentices from High Level Wizard Apprentices.
When constructing their own Magic Organ, the vast majority of Wizard Apprentices usually chose the Magic Vortex because it was less expensive and had a higher success rate.
Very few people attempted to construct a Magic Heart. Besides being more expensive, it was also extremely dangerous. In the final step of its construction, it needed to fuse with one’s original heart, turning the organ into a state that was half flesh and half energy.
The slightest mistake, and the heart would explode.
Although an exploding heart wasn’t a huge problem for a Wizard, without anyone to look after him and provide timely treatment, only the Death God would await him.
’Should I construct a Magic Vortex, or a Magic Heart?’
Andre looked at the two types of Magic Organs, feeling hesitant.
He was confident he could construct the Magic Vortex on his own, but he had no confidence in constructing the Magic Heart. Besides the higher cost, it was just too dangerous.
But he couldn’t bear to give up the benefits of the Magic Heart.
Once the Magic Heart was successfully constructed, Magic Power would flow through the entire body via the bloodstream, gradually transforming all the organs.
The benefit of having all one’s organs become half flesh and half energy was that recovery from injuries would be much easier. Furthermore, one’s Life Energy would be greatly enhanced, and their lifespan would be extended considerably.
And the most important benefit was Magic Power recovery. Compared to a Magic Vortex, a Magic Heart recovered Magic Power at three times the Speed.
’Should I take advantage of the Secret Realm’s opening to sell these three Potions?’
Andre looked at the three remaining Potions in the wooden box. After a moment’s hesitation, he decided to keep them.
When he used the System yesterday, if he hadn’t taken a Potion to stimulate his Spiritual Power, the flood of information from the System would have already burst his head.
’Everything has risks. You could get hit by a carriage walking down the street, choke on water, or choke on your food. Should I shrink back because of a little danger?’
’I can’t be this timid anymore. An attacker only needs to succeed once, but a defender must succeed every time. If I just hide here and never go out, people will only become more suspicious.’
’If I don’t go out, where will I get the materials to construct my Truth? Where will my confidence come from? I can explain away my current rate of progress as being due to the low difficulty. But if someone with ill intent starts watching me, there’s no way I can avoid making a mistake forever.’
’When that happens, disaster will strike even faster!’ frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Andre’s gaze became resolute. He decided to change his approach and prepare to construct the Magic Heart!
’For a Magic Heart, the most important thing is...’
Andre went to the Wizard Inheritance Hall and found several books on constructing Magic Organs.
He opened the first page. It was all about Magical Beast Hearts.
"The higher the Level of the Magical Beast Heart, the better the effect, but also the more dangerous."
"The price of a Level 0 Magical Beast Heart is usually between 1 to 3 Magic Stones. Depending on the Bloodline, the heart of a powerful Giant Dragon or Giant can cost anywhere from 100 to 500 Magic Stones."
’You can buy a Giant Dragon or Giant’s heart for that price?’
Andre’s mouth twitched as he looked at the prices described in the book. ’At that price, the most you could buy is something vaguely related, and probably only by name.’
In any world, a Pure-blooded Giant Dragon or a pure-blooded Giant was at the Official Wizard Level from birth.
For 500 Magic Stones? You might not even be able to buy one for 50,000 Magic Stones.
’The other good ones also cost tens of thousands of Magic Stones?’
Andre flipped through the book. Besides Giant Dragons and Giants, it listed Magical Beasts like the Raging Burst Tiger and the Swift Terror Wolf.
Just by looking at the names, he knew the hearts of these Magical Beasts wouldn’t be cheap.
’Tens of thousands of Magic Stones... I’d have to leave the Secret Realm and sell everything I find inside to have a chance at earning that much.’
Andre had thought about his teacher, Radak, but even an Official Wizard would find it difficult to produce tens of thousands of Magic Stones on short notice.
Just as Andre was hesitating, wondering if he should settle for the heart of a top-tier Magical Beast among the Wizard Apprentice level, his entire body began to grow strangely hot.
The Token that Radak had thrown him also flew into the air, emitting a constant glow. As the light washed over him, the Chain of Hatred trembled once more, and a massive amount of knowledge poured into Andre’s mind.
"Secret Realm No. 1 is a Divine Kingdom Fragment from my ancestor?"
After digesting this knowledge, Andre’s face showed his astonishment, and then his entire body went rigid.
The Chain of Hatred was supposed to be blocking his inherited Bloodline knowledge, so what was going on with the Token his teacher had given him?
How could there be records of his ancestor on it?
’Has my identity as a Divine Descendant been exposed? That can’t be right. If it were, I’d probably be strapped to an experiment table right now, having my blood drawn.’
’My blood is useless to Great Wizards of Level 4 and above, but it still has some use for Wizards below Level 4, especially since my ancestor left behind an inheritance in other places.’
’Could it be... that this Token was forged from a Divine Kingdom Fragment?’
Andre stared at the Token in his hand, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts and his expression constantly changing.
The reason the Chain of Hatred on his body had loosened was entirely because of the light emanating from this Token shining on him.
’Did the aura on my body automatically activate this Token?’
’But this Token has already been refined with Witchcraft... That’s it! Its essence remains. The Token’s fundamental nature wasn’t erased during the Witchcraft refinement, otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to open the Secret Realm!’
Andre’s heart calmed down, but he still felt a lingering sense of worry.
