A Return to the Spirit Realm

This day was the day Fran and Nora made an appointment to go to the Spirit Realm. When Nora rushed to the agreed place, she saw Fran sitting on a chair waiting.

The first thing that attracted her was the characteristic of Fran. She could feel the comfort that obsessive-compulsive disorder patients feel when seeing neat and defect-free graphics.

It's as if Fran blends into the surrounding environment, making her feel nothing out of the ordinary.

This made her touch her chin, wondering why Fran's body had changed after these days. This was strange.

So Nora asked directly:

"What's wrong with you? Why do I think you feel different?"

Fran showed a helpless expression, as if he had already known that Nora would ask such a question.

As early as when she was promoted to the second level, many people she knew or didn't know but were curious came up to ask her this question.

She knew that this was the result of drawing those spell models that were too standard when she was promoted, and it was her trait [Perfect Mage] at work.

Later, she carefully explored the origin of this feeling and found that it was because her Mental Power's energy efficiency was much higher than that of a normal mage.

This difference in energy efficiency makes the external performance of her Mental Power different from that of ordinary people. Her Mental Power seems to be of better quality, which is particularly obvious in the mage's Profession, whose length is Mental Power.

Fran said the same thing she had said a dozen times before.

"I'm currently trying to do a special experiment. This is the effect of the special substance extracted from this experiment."

After saying this, the mages all showed expressions of sudden realization, and then they stopped asking questions.

After all, it is normal for you to meet a mage on the road who is affected by the experiments you have done. Many mages will suffer injuries due to improper operation.

A mage's personal experiment is a very private matter, and normal mages know that they cannot discuss the contents of other people's experiments at will.

Perhaps those curious mages knew that they would get such an answer, but they wanted Fran to give this vague but somewhat relevant answer to satisfy their curiosity.

After Nora heard such an answer, he also put aside his curiosity and stopped asking questions. He put his hand under his head, coughed twice with his mouth, and said:

"Since you are here, let's go. I have made preparations to go to the Spirit Realm, which is in a house nearby."

Fran stood up and followed Nora to a house at the end of the street. However, after entering the house, Nora did not stop at all. Instead, he led Fran along the passage to a door.

She turned the door handle and revealed a scene behind the door that surprised Fran.

This door connects to the outside of the house, which means they passed through the house and came to a new place.

Fran couldn't help but said:

"The house you rent is a bit remote!"

Nora turned his head slightly and replied:

"What can I do about this? It's because the people in Northern Lands Society who planned this place didn't plan the streets here. As a result, you can only enter through other people's houses, and other access roads are blocked."

"As for why you want to rent a house here, you know, the houses here are cheaper."

Just like Fran does not have the money given by her mentor, Nora is in the same situation, and it is more difficult. She does not have the skills of Fran to make money casually, and can easily make a lot of money.

The reason why Fran was brought to the Spirit Realm in a temporary rented house was because the house assigned to Nora also had her own experiments.

Mages have an obsession with their achievements and believe that they should not be seen by others.

Most mages will not allow partners or relatives to enter their laboratories.

Instead, they will allow some good friends, mentors or disciples to enter their laboratories.

Obviously, the relationship between Fran and Nora has not reached a very good level. Even Nora himself does not want to bring Fran into his laboratory.

In order to build a good relationship with Fran, she even rented a house in a safer place to take Fran to the Spirit Realm.

Under the leadership of Nora, the two people soon came to a house covered in black. Compared with the neighboring houses, this house looked out of place.

This is a house specially prepared for mages. Its black exterior can isolate most external interference, maintain internal stability, and also has certain defensive capabilities.

The only drawback of this house is that its location is a bit poor, as it is among the residences of people who have moved into the city.

Fran looked at the curious eyes of the people on the side, and a young man wearing a Magic Academy robe looked at this place with envious eyes.

It seems that there are always some mages who have to come here because of financial constraints. She can see from the reactions of the surrounding people that they are used to having mages passing by here at any time.

The two walked in and immediately checked the inside of the house. Although no one in Northern Lands Society should dare to attack the mage, they still have to be vigilant. Besides, the geographical location here is somewhat special and there is no room for Fran to be careless.

As usual, Fran and Nora went to a relatively spacious room in the house after setting up Magic Trap outside.

The things used to enter Spirit Realm have been laid out here. What surprised Fran was that there were a bunch of transparent rod-shaped crystals placed in the room, and the ones inside were shining with light.

Seemingly aware of Fran's gaze, Nora smiled and explained:

"This is a currency commonly used in the Spirit Realm, called Spirit Crystal. In the Spirit Realm, this currency is used for transactions in most cases."

Fran looked at Spirit Crystal in front of her, and suddenly thought that when she first entered Spirit Realm, she went inside Trial and killed the person who sneaked up on her to get a small bag of crystal-like things.

Thinking about it now, this is Spirit Crystal. She didn't know the specific name and purpose of this thing until now.

Fran then had another question and asked:

"Spirit Realm's currency? Can't you use Material Realm's gold, silver and copper currency?"

Nora replied with a smile:

"No, because to bring things to the Spirit Realm for trading, each weight and volume requires the consumption of materials to bring them there."

"If you really use the currency of the Material Realm to trade, then you will lose money for every silver coin you bring in. For every Gold Coin you bring in, you will lose a part of the money first."

"So in this case, we use the currency of the Spirit Realm in the Spirit Realm transactions - Spirit Crystal."

"It is said that it is very valuable in the hands of those Spirit Realm lords, but for ordinary traders like us, it is just currency."

Fran frowned and then asked:

"Then do I have to go up and exchange things for some Spirit Crystal before I can go there to buy something?"

Fran looked at Nora and saw an expression on his face that almost said 'What if?', Fran then waved his hand and said:

"Then let's go up first. I'll look for some things later and see if I can sell them up there."

Fran didn't expect that the first thing she did when she went to the Spirit Realm was to make money. She thought she didn't have to worry about money for the time being, so she never started doing Spell Ring's job until Northern Lands Society.

But she doesn't have to worry, after all, she has a lot of good things on her now. Even if things don't work out, she can make a few temporary weapons and sell them in exchange for a lot of Spirit Crystal.

When Nora heard what Fran said, he handed a finger-long piece of Spirit Crystal to Fran's hand and said:

"This is the admission fee. Once you pay the fee once, you don't need to pay again while the market is still open. You will have to pay again the next time the market starts."

Then, Nora took out a purple ball and handed Fran a piece of paper, which clearly contained the formula to enter Spirit Realm.

"When I ask you to read it later, just read the above content and we can go in the Spirit Realm."

Then Nora checked it again, and then said to Fran:

"Okay, let's start reading."

Nora did not go up in a hurry, because if she went up directly, what if Fran was mispronounced or something unexpected happened?

So Nora planned to wait for the 'newbie' Fran to go to the Spirit Realm before she went up, so that she would not have to go down again after waiting for a long time without seeing Fran.

But what Nora didn't expect was that Fran recited the contents of the note with ease. Before she could react, she saw Fran's body becoming illusory, which was the signal to enter Spirit Realm.

"So fast?!" Although Nora was shocked, he quickly recited the mantra. His body also became illusory, his consciousness rose, and he went to the Spirit Realm.

Fran opened her eyes and felt that the piece of Spirit Crystal she was holding in her hand had disappeared. She looked at her palm and could only see her thin hand.

Wait... thin hands...

Fran raised his hands and groped around on his body, and then he was surprised to find that his body now was the same body he had in the Material Realm, not the body under the influence of Lord of Radiance before.

Fran saw that he was wearing a black robe. He rummaged around for a while but didn't see the book.

This made her wonder whether the book and the power of Lord of Radiance had followed her to the Material Realm, so she returned to her current appearance at the Spirit Realm.

"That's good, I don't have to explain to Nora why I look different from the Material Realm's body."

Fran was already ready to explain to Nora, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't need it after he came up.

Fran looked around her and saw an open space, and in front of her was a paved stone brick road. On the other side of the stone brick road, Fran could see a group of low buildings, with relatively crowded people flowing inside, and noisy exchanges.

At this time, next to Fran, a figure suddenly appeared from the void and slowly solidified. The figure looked exactly like Nora.
