Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience-Chapter 55 - 022: Commission

Is it really her?

After a brief moment of surprise, Lynch quickly regained his composure, put on his glasses, and politely said, "Hello, Miss Karina."

Beautiful women always subconsciously attract men’s attention, but that’s just a natural male instinct. Not to mention, Lynch wasn’t interested in this aspect, and even if he were, he wouldn’t set his sights on someone with such complicated status.

Avery Karina Tavendish, a young lady from the top wizard family, the Tavendish family.

How powerful is this family?

Let’s just say, among the three White Wizard Organizations dominating the Ancient Ruins, namely the Shadow Tower, Dawn Wizard Academy, and Starshine Castle, every high-ranking member of these wizard organizations has members from their family. The Green Wizard Calvin, one of the Seven Great Judges of the Shadow Tower, is from this family.

Their influence is deeply entrenched, with the family’s bloodline spread throughout the Ancient Ruins. It is said that even in the Black Tower Alliance, their bloodline exists, making them a genuinely top-tier noble family!

And the Avery Karina before him was one of the direct bloodline members and had a chance of becoming the family heir.

Avery nodded amicably, then got straight to the point: "Has Bike thoroughly explained our commission details to you?"

Lynch shook his head, "No, he hasn’t."

Avery explained, "Here’s the situation: someone has combined Elemental Coral with an Echo Seashell, and we need to separate them now."

"It’s not just a simple separation. While separating, we also need to ensure the mental link between the Echo Seashell and Elemental Coral remains intact until the Echo Seashell is extracted and replaced with a Moonlight Stone to seal the magic circuit."

Lynch furrowed his brows slightly, as this was indeed no easy task.

The Elemental Coral itself is a very sensitive magic creature, and although it is unknown how someone combined it with the Echo Seashell, they certainly did a very intricate transformation. Just separating them is already not easy.

Moreover, ensuring that the elemental link between them isn’t interrupted and transferring the Echo Seashell out to seal the magic circuit adds a workload that’s just daunting.

What makes it worse is that Elemental Coral falls under deep-sea magic creatures, unable to survive out of water, meaning all this work must be done underwater.

Lynch said, "This is not an easy job."

Avery shrugged slightly, "Bike told me you are the best Biological Transformation apprentice we have here."

This is true...

This complicated and delicate work requires extensive knowledge of biological transformation as a foundation, something not many apprentices can achieve.

Lynch asked, "Where is the location? When do we depart? For how long will we be there?"

Avery’s eyes brightened.

Elemental Coral is a very sensitive magic creature that, once removed from its natural environment, no longer produces Elemental Energy, losing its value when combined with an Echo Seashell, as it primarily provides the energy for the Echo Seashell.

Lynch, instead of asking her to bring the Elemental Coral to take a look, directly inquired about the location, indicating his solid foundational knowledge.

Avery nodded and said, "At the border between the Ramos Duchy and the Saladin Kingdom, near Crescent Bay. If you don’t have any issues on your end, we plan to leave in three days, for a period not exceeding three months."

A little long...

Lynch asked, "What about the remuneration?"

Avery said, "5000 Magic Stones, with an advance of 2000 Magic Stones. Regardless of success, the remaining 3000 will be paid to you upon completion."

Well, well...

This was an offer Lynch couldn’t refuse, 5000 Magic Stones!

You must know, it’s not every day he can score magic materials worth a few hundred Magic Stones like today. His average monthly earnings are around three to five hundred Magic Stones, so 5000 is certainly a very high number.

Is this the generosity of a top wizard family?

Lynch nodded, "Agreed."

After a brief pause, he continued to ask, "Will there be a preliminary test?"

Many employers, when cooperating for the first time, aren’t very confident in their partner’s skills, especially when dealing with such large sums, they’d conduct some tests to verify the person’s competency.

However, Avery shook her head, "It’s not necessary."

Before Lynch, she had already interviewed several apprentices, and Lynch was the only one who asked where the location was instead of asking her to bring the Coral over for inspection.

She smiled, "I trust Bike’s judgment. If he praises you highly, you must undoubtedly possess exceptional skills."

She really knows how to compliment...

Lynch nodded, "Alright, then, to a pleasant cooperation."

"To a pleasant cooperation."

...

After parting with Avery, Lynch first went to the material recycling area of the Tower, where apprentices could sell or trade the magic materials they gathered or hunted outside for Magic Stones. The prices are tied to the external market and have remained stable recently, so Lynch sold them for 350 Magic Stones.

No worry about exposing his identity here, as sales are confidential. Many apprentices sell Tree Demon’s Heart, so it’s no big deal.

Returning to his room, Lynch immediately began preparing for the upcoming journey. He was quite looking forward to it.

After all, it had been three years. Since the Inner Ring Apprentice assessment, Lynch hadn’t left the vicinity of the Tower, and this time the destination was the Human World, which, since he entered the Wizard World, amounted to six or seven years.

"Just in time to deliver the Glory Cross to Yuri’s hometown."

Yuri had passed away a long time ago, and Lynch felt quite bad for still not having fulfilled the promise made to him back then.

However, it wasn’t entirely his fault. The Tower had strict rules for apprentices in the Shadow Land, aside from those assigned outside and weren’t allowed to leave the Dark Forest freely. Technically, even for hunting, they required approval.

Of course, there were always apprentices who flouted the rules to sneak out and play, but it was up to them. If caught, they’d face punishment and possibly expulsion.

"Crescent Bay..."

"I recall there’s a Wizard Market nearby? Convenient to visit..."

In the past three years, Lynch spent most days taking on biological transformation tasks, hunting, gathering, and continually earning Magic Stones. Besides purchasing magic, he didn’t have many expenses and had saved up twenty thousand Magic Stones over the years.

It’s a significant amount, enough for him to browse the external market. The Tower’s selection is limited, while areas populated by wizards boast a variety of goods that can’t be found here.

"I’ll go once I receive the task payment!"

Lynch wasn’t worried about the assignment. Even though it sounded complicated, which indeed it was, Lynch still had full confidence in completing it.

Opening his system panel to check, there was a prominent marker below the first row of data fields.

Trait: Biological Transformation Expert.
