Chapter 94

Ten minutes later, Lin Yun stood at the entrance of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the blood-stained letter given to him by his mother.

Lin Yun did not touch the blood-stained letter, for he knew that in the Bone Plane, where the power of death was omnipresent, everything decayed ten times faster. The blood on the letter had already dried completely, and the degree of weathering was likely very severe. If Lin Yun were to touch it, he might only end up with a pile of ashes...

Lin Yun squatted down and carefully examined the dried bloodstains, then noticed that the bloodstains extended into the cave. This detail made Lin Yun frown. Could it be that this unknown human was injured outside and then fled into the cave?

If that were the case, then this cave might not be as simple as it seemed...

"It seems I really need to go in and take a look..." After some thought, Lin Yun waved his hand to cast a Light spell and lowered his head to enter the cave.

The cave was very narrow and extended downward. The steep slope made it difficult for Lin Yun to walk. After descending about several dozen meters, Lin Yun felt an abnormal magical fluctuation. Undoubtedly, this abnormal magical fluctuation was what interfered with the Wizard's Eye.

The cave was beneath the Nether Iron Mine vein. As Lin Yun walked down, he could clearly see that there were many exposed Nether Iron ores on the stone walls, and their quality was very high. In the hands of an excellent blacksmith, they could be refined into excellent materials for enchanted weapons and armor with just a little smelting.

It took Lin Yun a full ten minutes to walk down this narrow and steep slope to reach the bottom of the cave, where the path began to become flat and wide.

However, Lin Yun's eyes narrowed slightly...

Because Lin Yun clearly saw a skeleton lying ahead. The strange magical fluctuation was emanating from the skeleton...

"Indeed..." As soon as the skeleton came into view, Lin Yun knew that his earlier guess was correct. The unknown human had been injured outside and then fled into the cave.

This seemed like just a detail, but upon closer consideration, it didn't seem like the action of a normal person.

Imagine a normal human being injured in a place like the Bone Plane, not seeking treatment or trying to leave, but instead running into an underground cave. That didn't make much sense...

Unless there was something strange in the cave...

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so abnormal.

Lin Yun raised his alertness and squatted down in front of the skeleton. With a light flip, he found the source of the abnormal magical fluctuation—a staff.

"Really?" As soon as he picked up the staff, Lin Yun knew that things were serious. The level of this staff far exceeded his expectations. It was a true Spirit Magic Item, an existence that had developed its own consciousness.

To wield this staff, one had to be at least an Archmage, and not just any Archmage. It would take someone like Saruman, who was almost invincible among Archmages, to fully control the Spirit of the Magic Item within the staff and completely master it.

Fortunately, perhaps due to its age, the Spirit of the Magic Item within the staff was already in a deep sleep. When Lin Yun picked up the staff, he only felt a faint resistance. After infusing a bit of mana to suppress this faint resistance, the staff no longer reacted.

Only then did Lin Yun have the time to carefully examine this Spirit-level Magic Item. Once a Magic Item reached the Spirit level, it was almost a different entity, far surpassing even the best Legacy-level Magic Items. For example, the staff in Lin Yun's hand, the staff itself was made of Spiritwood, which was as valuable as Abyssal Demon Diamonds. Spiritwood was known as an inexhaustible source of mana. Even a small piece could provide a continuous supply of mana to a mage. Now, this staff was as long as an arm, and the amount of mana it could provide was truly massive.

But that wasn't the most important part. The most important part was the gemstone embedded at the top of the staff.

It was a fist-sized Elemental Amber...

"My goodness..." Just one glance left Lin Yun speechless. Lin Yun had an Elemental Amber as well, but compared to this one, his was inferior in both size and purity.

This Elemental Amber could store at least ten times the amount of mana compared to Lin Yun's!

Imagine it, ten times...

That would mean Lin Yun could use his mana ten times without worrying about replenishment.

Moreover, the most important function of Elemental Amber wasn't storing mana...

Storing spells was the most important function of Elemental Amber. Lin Yun estimated that this enormous Elemental Amber could allow him to store at least five Archmage-level spells. With these five Archmage-level spells at his disposal, even without awakening the Spirit of the Magic Item within the staff, Lin Yun had the confidence to fight the Bone Demon outside.

Of course, the source of Archmage-level spells was a problem...

After all, not every Archmage was willing to pay such a high price.

But this wasn't a problem for Lin Yun, as he now held the Sage's Chapter. Without Archmage-level spells, he could use Ultimate Spells as a substitute!

For Lin Yun, who held the Sage's Chapter, the significance of this staff was even greater than its Spirit level!

However, when Lin Yun's gaze shifted to the bottom of the staff, his brows furrowed again. He clearly saw a black lightning bolt symbol on the bottom of the staff...

"Damn, the Black Tower!" Lin Yun was immediately startled. Others might not recognize it, but Lin Yun, who came from 30,000 years in the future, knew this famous mark from the peak of the magical civilization.

The black lightning bolt symbol represented one of the strongest mage forces in the kingdom, the Black Tower, which had been in conflict with the Cloud Tower for thousands of years, always ending in a stalemate!

In other words, the one who fell here was an Archmage from the Black Tower!
