Have I Become Illiterate?

Hearing this,

Linus chuckled. "You see things more clearly than the others. You know what your goal is.

Every year, there were always some people

foolish enough not to know what they were after."

Wayne did not respond. Instead, he turned and asked curiously, "If array disks can be made so easily,

wouldn't array disks

be very cheap?"

Linus shook his head. "Of course not.

Their prices remain the same.

After all, no one would smash their own rice bowl, and the prices of array disks are set by the Formation Association.

Whoever refused to follow the rules

and privately changed array prices would pay a price no one could bear, because that would not merely harm one person's interests,

but the interests of all array makers."

Hearing this,

Wayne nodded slightly. "I see.

I was worried arrays might become worthless."

Linus spoke calmly. "That will never happen.

Not just anyone can become a lord wizard. And compared to lord wizards, the more numerous ones

are still wizards and knights."

Hearing this,

Wayne nodded and did not dwell on it further. With another light tap of his finger,

the Flight Array flashed into existence,

taking over control of all the array disks. Linus did not fight for control and instead quickly withdrew.

Wayne controlled the array disks, floating them before him. As one of the two spatial rings on his hand flashed,

all the array disks were stored inside the spatial ring.

After finishing this,

Wayne looked at Linus. Linus naturally understood,

then raised his hand.

A booklet appeared in his hand.

"This is the array diagram for the Miracle Array.

But do not spread it around, or the Sanctuary Network will mark your name red."

Hearing this,

Wayne nodded slightly. "Of course. The rules

already stipulated that long ago."

As he spoke,

he gave a slight bow. "Then, farewell."

Linus waved his hand.

"Go on."

Wayne nodded slightly, turned, and left.

An hour later.

In front of Villa No. 66, Seventh District, Residential Area, Wayne descended from the sky

and entered the villa.

This time, he did not fly. Instead, he walked slowly, treating it as a way to settle his meal.

As he walked,

Wayne touched the two spatial rings on his hand. After entering the apprentice stage,

he had refined the bloodline spatial rings left behind by his parents. There was not much of value inside them,

or rather,

compared to Wayne, there was nothing particularly valuable. The combined contents of both rings

were worth only seventy high-grade magic crystals, less than a single top-grade magic crystal Wayne could casually take out.

The only things Wayne felt attached to

were the clothes they had often worn and the many photographs inside. They were all that remained of the two of them in this world,

the things that made him remember them.

After all, Wayne had been reborn into this world as a fetus and had lived with them since childhood. He was not made of stone,

and after ten years,

he had naturally grown attached to them. He just had not expected the accident to come so suddenly, so utterly without warning.

They were simply gone,

and Wayne found it hard to bear.

Lost in thought, he had already reached the villa entrance. Wayne shook his head, dispelling those thoughts, and walked inside.

A moment later,

on the sofa on the second floor of the villa, Wayne waved his hand, and many fruits and bottles of juice appeared on the table before him.

He had bought them from the cafeteria.

It had to be said, this was the best thing about a supernatural world. Because magic energy existed everywhere in the world,

everything grown here

was delicious and of exceptional quality.

As he ate,

Wayne took out the Miracle Array booklet again and began flipping through it.

Half an hour later,

Wayne had roughly gone through it. It was divided into three parts:

the complete array diagram, the 1,300 runes contained within it, and the arrangement positions of the diagram.

As for these three parts,

Wayne found nothing strange about the first and last, because almost every array diagram followed these three standards.

The only thing that puzzled him

was the runes. He could not read them!

That was right, he could not read them. Of the 1,300 runes above, Wayne did not recognize a single one.

It was like the Gold Rune.

Wayne knew that character was pronounced "gold," but he did not recognize a single character in this booklet.

One had to know,

Wayne had studied this world's writing since childhood. He could not claim to have enough knowledge to fill five carts,

but he at least knew enough characters to fill several baskets.

Suddenly becoming illiterate like this was truly a little hard to get used to.

Fortunately,

it did not affect array assembly or rune imprinting. Although he did not recognize those runes,

he could still imprint their shapes

and combine them in the end. It was just that if he did so, he would know what was so without knowing why it was so.

Unlike the Ten Blades Array and the Flight Array, Wayne could understand why they had to be arranged this way

and what role each rune played.

After thinking briefly,

Wayne finally recalled that when he had read the materials,

the opening had recorded,

the Miracle Array—[was created by the Sanctuary Will].

Perhaps

that was why Wayne could not understand it.

Shaking his head,

Wayne put away the Miracle Array diagram. For now, he still needed to focus on his own cultivation.

The rune imprinting for the Miracle Array

could be postponed for the time being.

Besides, he already had one hundred Miracle Array disks in hand, enough for now.

With a flip of his hand,

a palm-sized circular metal array disk appeared in Wayne's hand.

Wayne lightly tapped it with his finger.

A Golden Nurturing Array lit up beneath him, enveloping him.

Then Wayne began imprinting his spiritual power.

As a drop of spiritual power was imprinted,

a stream of information

also poured into Wayne's mind.

A moment later,

Wayne dispelled the array and looked at the metal disk in his hand with a soft laugh.

"It really is convenient."

As he spoke,

Wayne considered the information he had just received. According to his original assumption, he had thought he would need a very large space.

He had not expected

that according to the array disk's information, a single flowerpot would be enough. He only needed to fill the space inside the array disk

with 1,000 top-grade magic crystals,

then activate the array, place it at the bottom of the flowerpot, fill it with soil, and plant the little fairy magic plant he wanted.

After that, he only needed to wait for the little fairy to be born.

"Tsk, that really is convenient."

In that case, he only needed to go to the Elemental Wizard Academy,

find someone to exchange for a magic plant illustrated guide,

choose the magic plants he liked, and finally find a wood-element wizard to purchase the magic plants.

Then he could begin nurturing them.

Moreover, it would not take up much space. He could set it up right in the courtyard before the villa.

Thinking of this,

Wayne could not help but marvel at the academy's privacy measures. First, unless invited by the villa's owner,

no one else,

including mentors, could enter without permission. Once reported to the Tower of Truth branch in the imperial capital,

they would face punishment from the Tower of Truth, the central organization of all wizards.

After all,

no wizard would want their knowledge and achievements

to be stolen.

Second,

Wayne—or rather, the new lord wizard students of this cohort—would live in this villa until graduation, or until they left to take up their posts as lords.

That was also why

the freshmen of Wayne's cohort

had been assigned to the Seventh District rather than the First Residential District. This way, there would be no need to move,

and he could naturally nurture little fairies here.

Of course,

none of that was what satisfied Wayne the most. What satisfied him most was the wizard array that came with the villa.

From outside, no one could see the villa or courtyard within. Or rather, what they saw was an illusion.

So long as they did not enter,

others could not see the true situation.

That was why

Wayne dared to openly

nurture little fairies directly in the courtyard.
