Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146: 021: Worth it or not

Shadow Land, Lynch Mansion.

"Crackle!"

The fireplace was ablaze, the wood inside crackling as it burned, and the dancing fire elements transformed into tiny figures that held hands and danced in circles within the fireplace, bringing a touch of warmth to this cold winter day.

Beside the fireplace was a delicate carved wooden shelf, displaying some quirky alchemical gadgets, like mechanical puppets, intricately crafted music boxes, and ships in bottles.

Nearby were several tall oak bookshelves leaning against the wall, filled with yellowed parchment books and manuscripts, exuding an aura of ancient knowledge.

Simple yet exquisite, with a strong scholarly atmosphere.

This was Avery’s first impression of the mansion, as if she were a mortal who had just arrived in the Magic World, full of curiosity about everything around her.

"Click!"

At this moment, there was a soft sound, the door of the laboratory opened, and Lynch walked out holding a small bear by the scruff of its neck.

The bear’s originally brown fur had now turned somewhat fiery red, and as it moved, faint sparks could even be seen.

Flame Bear bloodline.

This extraordinary demon bloodline, belonging to the bear family, had a relatively high compatibility, and being just an Apprentice Level low-level demon, the host body easily accepted it without collapsing under the strength and dying violently.

Of course, the downside was its cost—although the Flame Bear’s bloodline itself was not valuable, the materials used for fusion were exceedingly expensive, easily costing over ten thousand magic stones.

Spending over ten thousand magic stones on a low-level apprentice magic beast was not a matter of worth but rather a foolish act.

Avery turned her head: "How’s it going?"

Lynch placed the small bear on the ground, and the little creature instantly scrambled towards Avery and dove into her arms, where a large number of sparks hovered around, reacting to its emotional changes.

Feeling the warmth in her arms, even before Lynch answered, Avery’s mouth curved into a crescent: "You really didn’t let me down."

Lynch said, "Twenty thousand magic stones, thank you for your patronage."

Avery pouted and grumbled, "Don’t worry, I won’t disgrace Tavendish’s reputation over such a trivial amount of magic stones."

Alright...

The bloodline transformation was complete, yet Avery showed no intention of leaving. Instead, she wandered around Lynch’s house, occasionally picking up an alchemical ornament from the shelf or fiddling with the magic plants by the windowsill.

She asked, "Did you create all these yourself?"

Lynch nodded, tidying the items that Avery had disturbed: "Sometimes, when I’m bored, I improve my skills and learn some new knowledge along the way."

Avery said, "I almost forgot, your interests are broad."

Lynch didn’t pick up the conversation but busied himself organizing the shelf.

Avery frowned subconsciously but quickly broached a new topic: "Why not move into the Tower?"

Lynch said, "I’m used to living here."

The major benefit for a Netta Apprentice to live in the Tower was proximity to their mentor, making it convenient to find answers when faced with doubts. But Lynch never saw his mentor, so he was too lazy to move in.

Others asked questions; Lynch answered, feeling he had been nothing but polite, yet for some reason, Avery frowned.

She suddenly asked, puzzled, "Are you angry?"

Lynch was at a loss: "Angry?"

Avery continued on her own: "Assigning Wizard Somda as your mentor wasn’t my intention; it was a decision made privately by two apprentices from the Inheritance Corridor. I wasn’t in the Tower at that time and knew nothing of it."

"And when I returned, the ship was already built, the rules were thus, and I couldn’t change it."

After a pause, she apologized: "Sorry, that was my oversight."
