Chapter 396: Chapter 33: The Void

This sweep of bone dragons has indeed yielded far more than Lynch expected.

Setting aside the bone dragons and knowledge, let’s just talk about the magical resources contained here.

The total amount of Magic Stones detected in the dungeon by Lynch is already over a billion. Lynch isn’t exactly sure of the precise number here, but conservatively estimates it should be at least several billion.

Although these Magic Stones are mixed within a sea of Gold Coins and scattered throughout the massive dungeon, it’s only a matter of time until adventurers dig them out with their efforts inside.

Billions of Magic Stone resources have really been a great boon for Lynch, who has been increasingly pressured by the scarcity of Magic Stones.

In recent years, Magic Stone resources have been produced from various dungeon excavations, but the quantities were so little that they’ve persistently run a deficit, barely sustained by the output of resource sites to maintain dungeon excavations.

This is really the first time an output of this quality has emerged from a dungeon.

“If every dungeon could yield so many Magic Stones, how great would that be!” Lynch couldn’t help but think.

If every dungeon was this rich in materials, he would have no worries about Magic Stones now, but alas, most dungeons are just ruins of city streets, devoid of anything besides ragged Dead Spirits.

The adventurers may be lucky to find a few pieces of Witchcraft from a raid, but most of the time they only find broken antiques to exchange for a few Magic Stones from the Fatty, barely anything worth mentioning for balancing income and expenditure.

If Lynch weren’t able to decipher knowledge fragments from the soul sparks of these Dead Spirits, he would’ve been crazy to engage in this money-losing venture with no return.

But then again, if excavating dungeons brought positive returns, he wouldn’t be the one doing the digging now. If every dungeon were as rich in resources as the Dragon Nest, the Four Great Witch Realms would’ve long started fighting over them, instead of them being neglected as they are now…

Night, Misty Forest, Guardian Tower.

“Tick-tock! Tick-tock!”

The sound of a clock ticking echoed in the room, as Lynch sat poised at the desk, reading a Magic Notebook brought back from the Dragon Nest.

The notebook was authored by York Arem, who was the owner of the laboratory and the Wizard who left the image behind.

The secret skill level of third-tier Spell knowledge was already astounding, but it was only when Lynch fully understood all the spell documentation left by Wizard York, finally grasping what research he was conducting, that he was all the more amazed.

In simple terms, Wizard York was attempting to combine Space Magic with Dragon Magic. More precisely, he wanted to apply Space Power onto a giant dragon.

By using the giant dragon’s own powerful physical attributes, combined with the power of Space Runes, he aimed to enable the giant dragon to break free from the material plane, soar through the void, and gain the ability to traverse it.

The Void!

This has been a subject of study since the existence of the Wizard Civilization.

According to mainstream views, the entire Wizard World is actually a vast void, and within this gigantic void exist countless planes, with the Wizard World they currently inhabit being merely one of them.

The resources of a single plane are extremely limited, like the precious Magic Stones that Wizards coveted and fought wars over numerous times to seize.

But in other worlds, Magic Stones might be as common as dirt, and according to Wizards’ speculations, some worlds might be entirely made of countless Magic Stones.

If they could reach such worlds, Wizards would no longer worry about Magic Stones.

Similarly, besides Magic Stones, there are various worlds rich in materials, where resources considered rare treasures in the Wizard World are merely commonplace.

In other words, the countless planes within the Void are like countless resource-rich treasure houses; mastering them means infinite resources for Wizards.

For this reason, ever since the Wizard Civilization began, Wizards have been researching how to cross the void to other planes.

Space Magic was initially developed to traverse planes.

During the Acadica Era, it was said that Wizards had already begun mastering the ability to traverse the void, and much of the knowledge about other planes was passed down from the Wizards of that era.

However, with the fall of Acadica, Space Magic was lost, and for some unknown reason, for thousands of years the progress in Space spells seemed to have ground to a standstill.

In these millennia, Wizards have made significant progress in various areas of spellcraft, with the Spirit, Element, and Bloodline triad of Magic Systems and their many subcategories having made remarkable advancements compared to the Acadica Era, and they’ve grasped far more truths than back then.

Yet in the realm of Space Magic, there has been hardly any development, and compared to the Acadica Era, it has even seemed to decline.

Nowadays, out of hundreds of Witch Domains in the entire Wizard World, fewer than ten are still conducting Space Magic research, and no one knows to what extent their research has progressed.

Wizards are like a group of primitive people trapped on a desolate island.

Everyone can see the world across the sea, brimming with abundant resources, sumptuous feasts, and precious materials.

But alas, no one knows how to cross the sea.

“Rustle, rustle…”

The sound of pages turning echoed, as Lynch’s fingertips gently caressed the ancient text on the yellowing pages.

One must admit that Wizard York was truly a person of great imagination, to think of combining Space spells with giant dragons.

Giant dragons themselves boast extremely robust physical traits, and in terms of body strength alone, their attributes are perhaps the highest among many species in the Wizard World.

With such formidable attributes combined with Space spells, it’s indeed possible for a giant dragon to soar in the void.

Such a method opens up the possibility of void traversal to other planes.

There are many approaches to research on traversing planes, and this is merely one of them.

“It’s quite a pity that this research wasn’t completed…”

It’s just unfortunate that Wizard York did not live in a peaceful era. His research seemed to be interrupted halfway by war, which led to his work being left unfinished.

However, fortunately, the crucial parameters and knowledge hurdles have already been overcome, and the entire research path is quite clear; the remaining content only needs to be progressed and verified step by step.

Is this path feasible…

Rubbing his chin, Lynch said with great interest, “Let me complete the verification for you!”
