Chapter 256: 221 Sorcerer’s Sanctuary (Requesting Monthly Pass)
As the big shots from all sides left the scene one after another, Lin An’s witchcraft was also being gradually constructed.
Home, a magical concept.
Here, Lin An could feel the wonderful harmony of his body, mind, and spirituality. It was a uniquely comforting sense of security, yes, this place provided each person who considered it home with a unique state of ‘peace of mind.’
The drizzle began to flutter down at some indeterminate time.
Landing on the face, it felt cool and icy.
The forest that had been destroyed seemed to be healing itself. Perhaps, by next year, new trees, vines, and flowers would grow here.
Everyone bathed in the drizzle, happiness blossomed on their faces.
Lin An, the young boss, Chen Shuyun, the old accountant, Lottery, Caidai, Caicai, Chen Jie, Chen Shen (the detective siblings).
Even including the head that had always been there on the side.
And also including the shadow of the red-dressed witch ‘Earth Whale’ that was, for some reason, floating behind Lin An, apparently three meters tall.
Although everyone was curious about who this phantom witch was, they could also feel the strange connection between the witch and the world.
Anyway, she was one of their own.
That was enough.
Without a word, without the desire to do anything, each person just wanted to bathe in the rain.
This rain seemed to gradually heal the distortions and voids in everyone’s heart, soothing the deep wounds within.
Wizards are emotional creatures. Who among those who had come this far, who had arrived here, was not already weary in both body and spirit?
“Where my heart feels at peace, there lies my home…” Lin An murmured with a joyful smile on his face, “Remember this, this is the first magical ability granted by this space, namely ‘providing a haven for the soul.’
“Second, it can provide shelter for souls that have lost their support.”
Seeing that everyone did not understand, Lin An thought for a moment and described in simpler words, “When your body dies, it can provide a place for your soul to rely on, like a common physical platform.”
“It’s like Lottery’s wife, who lives in Lottery’s soul.”
“After you die, you can also live forever in this space.”
“As long as you consider this place your home, that is the only condition. It is a sentiment, with no need for anyone’s judgment.”
“If you’re willing to stay here, then you can stay here properly. No one can drive you away unless this place is destroyed.”
“Third, its essence is ‘Coffin-Sealing’ sorcery, and its most powerful ability is to seal spirituality.”
“That is to say, whether you are affected by the Furnace Core, or your spirituality is eroded by the Spirit World Aura invades, you can find shelter here.”
“This space will suppress this eroding effect, allowing us to live like humans.”
“This is the meaning of home.”
“This is the Sorcerer’s Sanctuary!”
“Home… Sorcerer’s Sanctuary…” Chen Shuyun muttered, no, everyone was muttering these words.
Their voices gradually merged until little Caicai swung her arms mightily and shouted ‘Sorcerer’s Sanctuary,’ everyone followed suit and shouted together.
Howl~~
The Caidai Witch even knelt down, holding her daughter, letting out a piercing cry, “We have a home now, Caicai, we have a home!”
No one knew what this person had gone through in the past, what kind of pressure he had withstood.
But now, as if finally finding a place to belong, he burst into joyful tears.
Gently holding his dad’s head, Caicai softly patted her father’s shoulder, “Mm, dad, we have a home now!”
No one mocked Caidai; tears rimmed every eye.
The young boss, keen on ambiance, gathered various kinds of wood, wanting to light a bonfire, as there were destroyed trees everywhere.
But soon he started coughing as the wet wood and grass, coupled with the drizzle, made the fire pit emit nothing but thick smoke.
Chen Shuyun smiled slightly and, with a wave of her finger, suddenly a fervent flame fell into the wood, finally igniting the fire.
The detective siblings ran back to the stone house and brought chicken wings and vegetables, while the Caidai Witch and her daughter brought fruit to make a salad, the old accountant carried a box of wine, and Lottery brought a bunch of drinks.
They were prepared to celebrate properly.
Lin An didn’t help; he was studying the witch’s shadow that was drifting behind him.
Chen Shuyun looked up worriedly and asked quietly, “Will she bring danger to you?”
Having someone else’s shadow appear on one’s body is no trivial matter; witches have always strived for unity of the soul, resisting any imperfection.
“Not sure…” Lin An shook his head, “She seems to have formed a link with my witchcraft spirituality. This wasn’t in the theoretical framework of my previous studies, I can’t figure it out.”
He tried to raise his hand, and a white-gold tri-surface sphere floated in mid-air, which was quite interesting. In the perspective of spirituality, this sphere was dark gold, but in the real world, it was white-gold.
As the ‘Coffin-Sealing’ sorcery was cast, the three-meter shadow of the ‘Earth Whale’ witch suddenly moved, looked down at Lin An, gradually faded, and finally disappeared.
And on one side of the tri-surface sphere, there was a flicker in the portrait of Lin An and her, the witch’s figure.
“Look, her soul is resting in this sorcery.”
“There is too much about the ‘Heart to Heart’ sorcery that I do not understand.”
He withdrew it and turned his head to look at Chen Shuyun, “I’m very grateful that you gave this place to me.”
Chen Shuyun smiled and shook her head, tucking her hair behind her ear, “I should be thanking you. You’ve transformed this place into the state that suits me best.”
Home, healing of the soul’s wounds, post-mortem spiritual reliance, suppression of discord between body and spirituality…
Every ability of this magical space serves her well.
The same witchcraft, in the hands of different wizards with different minds, will exhibit its own unique variations.
Chen Shuyun could feel the characteristics of Lin An’s soul in the witchcraft he had cast—it was so interesting, yearning for a home, yearning for a haven for the soul…
It turned out that this man, who often acted tough, was just like her, feeling so insecure.
“Although you gave it to me, I actually made some modifications to this space,” Lin An said.
Seeing Chen Shuyun’s curiosity, Lin An picked up a stick and drew a shape close to a rectangle on the ground.
His drawing skills had improved greatly. With a casual stroke, he outlined the general topography of the forest space.
Then, on both sides of the rectangle, he drew three long lines, slicing out several triangles with irregular edges.
“These three long lines represent three steep mountain ranges.”
“The biggest one over here is the grave of Master Axiu, and it’s also where we’ve been building stone houses recently,” he shared.
Chen Shuyun looked down curiously, listening to Lin An’s descriptions.
“On the other side of the rectangle, each of the two mountain ranges cuts off a corner. I used one of them to place a coffin; um, some important things I am also planning to secure here.”
After all, the ‘Wolf Head Spatial Ring’ that Chen Xinmi had helped him with was not stable, especially in the Purgatory World, where it could explode from too intense a collision at any time.
“This slightly larger corner is a private secret base I’ve set aside especially for you,” Lin An said, looking at Chen Shuyun.
“After all, ‘Sorcerer’s Shelter’ is an organization with many people and opinions, and you might want a space that’s completely your own. It’s not very big, just a sunny hillside, a plain, and a small stream,” he explained.
But Chen Shuyun’s eyes lit up as she looked at the corner, squatted down to inspect it closely, and looked up at Lin An, “Can I build a small house there?”
Lin An shrugged, “It’s yours, and no one will interfere with your decisions.”
“Mmm!”
Chen Shuyun was extremely pleased.
She was already imagining planting rows of flowers in front of the small house on the plain, and waking up to a view of blooming flowers when she opened the window.
Although she used to own this forest space, it was so vast that she felt overwhelmed. Now that she had given it away and Lin An had returned a small part to her, she found it particularly delightful.
“You two!” the young boss called out from a distance, “What are you whispering about over there?”
With a flick of her finger, Chen Shuyun made the drawing on the ground change instantly, with the corners belonging to her and Lin An vanishing from the map.
Lin An’s expression flickered, and he smiled slightly, “I was just explaining the changes in the landscape of the forest to her.”
The young boss came over, looked down, and his eyes immediately lit up, “Hey, if it’s divided this way, can we accommodate more wizards on the bigger side?”
Seeing their puzzled looks, he gestured with his hands, “Look, Master Axiu’s ‘Coffin-Sealing’ site and our houses take up one-third. We can design it as the ‘Inner Gate’. Then, the ‘Outer Gate’ where the wizards we shelter will enter.”
“We could then select any worthy wizards from the Outer Gate to join the Inner Gate,” he suggested.
As he spoke, other wizards also gathered around, and at his words, they fell into deep thought.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
“What do you think?” he asked.
He first looked to Lin An, but Lin An just frowned and looked down in thought.
So, he turned to Chen Shuyun, since the land originally belonged to her.
Chen Shuyun appeared quite supportive, “Can I invite my sisters over? My older sister seems to have run into a problem, and I’m worried she might catch other sisters for her research.”
“And their families, if they want to come in for shelter,” she added.
She counted on her fingers, trying to figure out how many people that would be.
Caidai, the older accountant, and the lottery were even more in favor; ‘Crazy Male Witch’s Tree Hole’ was destroyed, and they had been eager to establish a sanctuary in Shenhou City to shelter other wizards.
But after Lin An approached them, they hadn’t continued to look for others, so they could only keep this hope to themselves.
Chen Jie, the detective siblings’ older sister, also agreed. Being a student of administrative management, she naturally knew the strength that could come from people gathering. Not to mention, Lin An had just demonstrated his ability to mobilize members of their organization to cast spells together, which was nothing short of miraculous.
Moreover, she hoped that more like-minded wizards would accompany her high school brother to grow up properly.
Hiding alone in a corner of the world would not help her brother develop a well-rounded personality.
Thus, they all looked to Lin An for his opinion.
Lin An was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly, “Okay, but I should say in advance, I won’t have much time, so you’ll need to take care of it.”
“No time?” the young boss was taken aback, “What are you going to do?”
Lin An helplessly spread his hands, “Researching witchcraft and the Furnace, of course. And most likely, I’ll need to focus most of my energy on game development next.”
“!!!” The young boss was stunned.
“An… you…”
He cleared his throat forcefully, not wanting his voice to reveal a weak choke, as it would undermine the tough image of his identities as the boss and the Deputy Commander.
Lin An too had his personal motives. At the moment, his coffin still contained three bizarre items.
He didn’t know how to deal with them, and the only approach he could think of was from the angle of spirituality.
This perspective had always offered him opportunities.
Spirit Drawing, perhaps, would provide a new direction.
Therefore, the drawing of Mr. Liu’s spiritual tree roots, Chen Shuyun’s Spirituality White Snake, Chen Xinmi’s entwined heart and body red string, and Professor Cao’s Antler Furnace Core drawing, these four tasks, would be his most important undertakings in the near future.
None of them was simple.
Mr. Liu’s spirituality was a wizard’s willpower, Chen Shuyun’s spirituality was the suppressed Sorcerer Zombie, and Professor Cao’s spirituality was the pinnacle Antler Furnace Core (the regular kind).
Chen Xinmi, needless to say, was an outlier, a blend of mind and body, the opposite of spirituality that required inverse drawing.
