Chapter 746: Elf Spring Water

“Have I gone mad?” He didn’t converse with the figure claiming to be a half-elf, but muttered to himself. “Although I’ve long noticed some mental problems, I didn’t expect to go crazy so quickly. Going crazy to this extent should mean mutation. But does a person’s consciousness remain clear after mutation? Or is it that after I mutate, my spirit consciousness is actually trapped in a closed space within my brain? Hmm, I really want to record all of this!”

Half-Elf: “…”

The half-elf was encountering someone who gave up on treatment the moment they saw him for the first time.

“You haven’t mutated yet, though you already have tendencies in that direction.” The half-elf waited for Byron to stop talking to himself before speaking. “I’m not dangerous enough to cause an ordinary wizard to instantly mutate.”

“I’m not an ordinary wizard.” Byron said with certainty. “I’m using your Elf King’s head.”

“…It’s precisely because of this that I can communicate with you directly.”

“You said you’re a half-elf, right? Why isn’t an elf coming to communicate with me?” Byron immediately asked. “I’m not looking down on your bloodline, but in elf society, the Elf King shouldn’t think much of half-elves, right? How could there be you hidden in his skull?”

This time, the colorful phantom took a while before speaking. “Have I not communicated with people for too long?”

“I’m not within the Elf King’s skull, just communicating with you through this medium. As for why it’s me… because now, only I still remember how to communicate with people.”

“It seems the elves are really all having a hard time. You’ve appeared in my dreams many times, and this is the first time you’ve spoken. Is there something you need?”

“We just discovered the aura of elf spring water. This is very important for both you and us.”

“Elf spring water?” Byron became serious. Ever since he started using the Elf King’s head as his new locator, he had been paying attention to elf legends.

Among them, although elf spring water wasn’t the most frequently mentioned item in legends, it was a very important thing.

It was said that in the most prosperous places of the elves, with elf spring water, the elves were equivalent to having a second life.

However, before the Lunar Calendar, elf spring water had gradually begun to dry up, eventually becoming a legendary item.

Elf spring water had many functions, and one of the functions Byron valued most was its calming effect on elf mental power.

Using the Elf King’s head as a new locator was an extremely risky move, but Byron, who had lost his original locator and body at the time, had no choice.

After obtaining the Elf King’s head, although Byron successfully advanced to true wizard, due to the side effects brought by the elves, he had never dared to continue advancing.

If he could obtain elf spring water, at least he would dare to continue trying.

So upon hearing news of elf spring water, even Byron became excited.

No wizard didn’t want to continue advancing, and many wizards were willing to risk their lives for it.

Byron was one of them.

“Where is it? Is it in the Borderland?”

“I don’t know.”

Byron frowned. “Then how do you sense that elf spring water has appeared?”

“We just know.”

“You’re being unreasonable.”

The half-elf saw that Byron was angry and had to explain to him. “Before the elves’ incident, there wasn’t a single drop of elf spring water left in this world. So when new elf spring water appears, we can sense it immediately. The spring water that appeared this time is very likely to have been sealed away or may not even be from this world.”

“Then what does elf spring water look like, and how should I find it?”

“Elf spring water looks just like ordinary spring water, but when it appears near you, you’ll definitely be able to recognize it.”

“Mental sensing again. It’s always like this. You elves always live so dependently on intuition.”

The half-elf stopped talking.

His energy seemed to no longer allow him to have much more communication with Byron.

Being able to explain so much to him was already the half-elf’s current limit.

Byron opened his eyes and got up from the table.

Looking at the mess before him, he silently organized everything, then randomly piled materials he didn’t need for now in a corner of the room.

“I need to go out too,” Byron said as soon as he left his room, going to find the busy steward Hope.

“Very well, Lord Byron. Where are you going? Do you need a vehicle? Or do you need me to send a few apprentices with you? If Tower Master returns, do you need me to leave him a message?” The steward asked a series of questions.

But Byron just stared at Hope without speaking.

Hope took a deep breath. “Alright, when are you departing?”

“Now.”

Hope immediately turned and pulled over a passing wizard apprentice. “Camila, go lead the magic wolf to the exit. When you pass the first floor, have Mins prepare two hundred magic crystals.”

After doing this, Hope turned back to smile at Byron.

Byron nodded. “Thank you.”

He returned to his laboratory to pack some necessities, then put on his cloak and went directly downstairs to the first-floor exit.

At this time, the magic wolf was already lying at the door, while a thin boy nearby was holding a bag of magic crystals with a pained expression.

Byron didn’t know who he was.

There were now many more people in the wizard tower, and Byron only recognized the two wizard apprentices who served as his assistants.

He stepped forward to take the magic crystals, mounted the magic wolf, and prepared to depart.

However, before he could urge the magic wolf to rise, he suddenly heard familiar bird calls from overhead.

Just as he looked up, his vision blurred, and Saul actually teleported in front of him.

“Senior Byron, I’m back. What’s this, you’re going out?” Saul was still carrying an unconscious orange cat.

“Yes, I’m going to…”

Byron was about to tell Saul through secret speech that he was going to search for elf spring water when he suddenly sensed a peculiar aura on Saul.

The half-elf had said that as long as elf spring water appeared near Byron, he would be able to sense it.

And now, how was Byron sensing the aura of spring water on Saul?

“Senior Byron!” The familiar voice came from overhead again.

Byron instinctively looked up. The sunlight overhead was somewhat dazzling, and he could only see the silhouette of a large bird and a person on it.

That person’s red hair was quite striking, like a ball of flame.

The giant bird quickly landed beside Byron and Saul. The red-haired girl he hadn’t seen in years was riding on the bird’s back, excitedly waving her arms at him.

“Ah, brought back.”

For a moment, Byron didn’t know which matter to ask Saul about first.

…

Inside the Purity Wizard Tower, Steward Hope was reconciling accounts with Mins, the second-level wizard apprentice responsible for financial bookkeeping.

The Purity Wizard Tower was now the strongest force within the Borderland. The tower had more and more personnel, and Rhine City outside was also rapidly developing and expanding. Although the wizard tower now owned many more properties and magical resources, they had to be even more careful and cautious with spending.

Just halfway through reconciling, Hope suddenly felt a familiar mental power fluctuation from behind.

He turned around in surprise and saw Byron walking quickly upstairs.

“Uh, Lord Byron, did you forget to bring something?”

Byron walked to Hope’s side and paused. “No… I’ve returned from my trip.”

Hope opened his mouth and could only say, “Welcome back.”

Byron continued upstairs with hurried steps.

Mins on the side quietly asked Hope, “Steward, may I go ask Lord Byron for those two hundred magic crystals back?”
