Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153: 028: More than just good luck

Bike sighed, "I’m afraid next time we meet, I’ll have to address you as Sir, won’t I?"

The High-level Apprentice tier in Shadow Tower already represents a group with potential status—after all, reaching this level means being just one step away from completing the ultimate transformation as an apprentice and joining those who truly wield power.

Lynch modestly smiled, "It’s just a matter of luck."

Bike shook his head, "It’s not just luck."

"As an Immortal Species, I’ve been here for countless years and have observed numerous apprentices. Some came from nobler backgrounds than you, some had exceptional talents greater than yours, and others were so much smarter."

"But to be honest, you’re the most persevering one I’ve ever seen."

Bike exclaimed, "Sometimes I even wonder whether you’re actually an alchemy machine disguised as a human, fueling yourself with a magic crystal to keep running endlessly. Don’t you ever get tired?"

Lynch was speechless: "That comparison is anything but friendly."

After a pause, he admitted frankly, "I’m simply interested in knowledge, and I love magic. That’s all."

This was the truth.

Others cultivate for powerful strength or to live longer. Lynch, of course, shared these motives, but beyond that, it was primarily out of love.

A pure love for understanding mysterious knowledge, a fondness for the wondrous magic built upon such mysteries.

Bike replied, "Wouldn’t that be considered a type of talent? No, more accurately... this is actually the most precious talent a wizard can possess."

"I hope you can hold onto it; it’s the key to traveling farther along the Wizard’s Road."

Lynch nodded, "Understood."

After a pause, Lynch continued, "Did they reassign you here again?"

Bike shook his head, "Not yet. Before the Blood Moon..."

At this point, Bike seemed to realize something and didn’t continue his sentence.

He added, "The Tower’s trial zone has been expanded, and I was sent back to recruit more manpower. Otherwise, it’s impossible to manage everything."

Lynch raised an eyebrow. Blood Moon? What is it?

Recently, this term seemed to surface frequently. Rumors surrounding it were stirring all sorts of speculation within the Tower.

Some said it foretold a disaster; others claimed it meant war with the Black Wizards; still, others suggested it was some kind of opportunity.

Almost everywhere, Tower apprentices discussed the term, but no one could offer a definitive explanation of what it really meant.

Lynch even tried researching it in the library but found nothing useful. Frankie told him outright that this part of the content had been erased from the Silver Key Library. To know more specifics, access to the Golden Key Library was necessary.

Golden Key Library...

That’s the Tower’s highest-level library, storing the Shadow Tower’s most critical knowledge, the most secretive materials—essentially, its core of cores.

Basic entry requirements include at least Wizard-level strength, and reportedly, a slew of other regulations. Even among wizards, hardly anyone has permission to enter...

Lynch asked, "The Blood Moon you mentioned earlier—is that the Crimson Moon? It seems to be a hot topic lately."
