My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 107 The Suburbs at Dawn

Lynn then quickly flipped through the remaining books.

There was still no useful information.

Lynn decided to go to the library again tomorrow after helping Mr. Vincent.

The current conditions are already sufficient to narrow down the target area.

All you need to do is find all the books about the city of Pandfal, dating back to around 1000 in the Faric calendar.

Lynn tidied up her desk and wanted to go back to her room to sleep.

Carl then returned to his dormitory.

He was still covered in sweat and looked extremely exhausted.

It seems that the recent matches have put a lot of pressure on him.

Carl walked past Lynn without saying a word and returned to his room.

Compared to Carl, Lynn wasn't very interested in the competition.

If it weren't for the fact that Violet and Eleanor might have put in some effort to get him to participate, he wouldn't have even wanted to go.

Lynn was just a little moved by Carl's hard work.

This is the blessing of choosing to advance in the same profession.

I'm extremely tired, and I don't know when I'll be able to get ashore.

This reminded him of his past self.

Lynn shook his head, his thirst for the ley lines growing even stronger.

If you try to figure it out on your own, it will probably take a lot of time.

Now we can only hope for news from Violet.

Lynn returned to his room, used up his teleportation spell, took a shower, and went to bed early.

He has to get up early tomorrow to help Mr. Vincent.

I don't know what kind of mission it is...

One night passed.

Lynn got up early to wash and dress.

He unexpectedly ran into Karl, who was about to leave.

Neither of them said anything.

Carl walked out of the dormitory on his own.

Lynn went downstairs and bought a lot of breakfast at the cafeteria.

They ate downstairs while waiting for the carriage to arrive.

soon.

A horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the dormitory building.

A black-haired man stepped down from the carriage. He looked to be in his thirties, but his appearance was quite weathered.

The man, sporting heavy dark circles under his eyes, smiled and greeted Lynn on the steps.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, junior Lynn. My name is Theodore, and I am also a student of Professor Vincent."

Lynn put the rest of the breakfast into her storage ring, wiped her oily hands on her pants, and slowly walked down the steps, reaching out to shake hands.

"Good morning, Theodore. Actually, I just came out myself and haven't been waiting long."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two boarded the carriage.

Lynn sat in the carriage, observing the still-dormant campus outside the window.

The carriage quickly drove out of the campus.

Lynn casually asked, "Senior Theodore, do you still not know what we're going to do for the teacher this time?"

Theodore, who was standing nearby, smiled upon hearing this.

"Oh, you mean this? Today we're going to collect materials off-campus for our teacher."

Lynn found this strange.

"Isn't collecting materials the responsibility of the logistics department? Why do we need the teacher's help?"

Theodore smiled and remained silent.

He didn't answer that question; instead, he asked Lynn.

"I heard from the teacher that my junior is a genius. He entered the intermediate laboratory in just one day. Such talent makes me feel ashamed."

Lynn shook her head.

"It's all thanks to the teacher's guidance. I was just lucky. My skill level is still not as good as that of an experienced senior like you."

Theodore laughed, "Junior, you're too modest. I wasn't nearly as good as you when I was studying at school. Speaking of which, you've started using monkeys as test subjects, haven't you?"

"Yes." Lynn nodded.

"How are those monkeys doing? Do you still feel there's a big difference between them and the data in the book?" Theodore asked with concern.

"There is a significant gap, but it can also enhance understanding," Lynn replied.

Theodore felt a little regretful upon hearing this.

"It's a pity. A live specimen was just brought into the lab a few days ago. If you had come in earlier, you might have been able to use her for experiments, and your skills would probably have improved much faster."

Lynn frowned upon hearing this.

Theodore's words just now made him feel that something was wrong.

"What do you mean by 'living body'?"

Theodore laughed and said, "Of course it's a person."

Lynn remained silent for a moment.

Theodore stared at Lynn's face, quietly observing his reaction.

Lynn's expression disappointed him greatly.

Theodore smiled and explained, "Junior, there's no need for that. All the procedures here are legal. There are always some people outside who have certain difficult-to-treat illnesses and voluntarily come in. We're just improving our alchemy skills while treating them. It's a win-win situation."

Lynn understood.

It seems I misunderstood.

"I see. So, the patient was cured?"

Theodore shook his head.

"As I said before, they all have difficult and complicated diseases that are generally incurable. They are just coming in to gamble on a hope."

Lynn nodded silently.

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

But it was none of his business, and Lynn didn't want to get involved.

The carriage fell silent for a moment.

Theodore did not speak again.

The two got off the carriage when it stopped.

Theodore then spoke calmly, "Junior, do you know where this is?"

Lynn looked around and shook his head.

All I know is that this is the outskirts of the capital.

Theodore nodded. "That's right, this is indeed the outskirts of the capital, and it also provides a field practice area for the academy's students. Junior Lynn, do you know why we're here today?"

Lynn frowned and shook his head.

"I hope you can enlighten me, senior."

Theodore smiled at Lynn, a smile that sent chills down one's spine.

He took two sets of net-launching guns from the back of the carriage and handed one of them to Lynn.

Theodore's tone was somewhat wistful.

"This is a trial ground, so there are naturally many monsters, and some deaths and injuries are inevitable. Every year, probably no fewer than a hundred students die here."

You know, some serious injury treatments are ineffective; they can only keep them alive for a short time.

Lynn frowned as she looked at him.

Theodore walked forward on his own, reaching out to touch the thick tree trunk in front of him, which bore the marks of being scratched by the claws of wild beasts.

"Look, these are the marks left by a Tier 1, 6-star Angry Bear. This kind of beast loves nothing more than disemboweling people and eating them alive. If our poor juniors had encountered it, they probably wouldn't have had a good ending."

Theodore sighed.

"So our mission is to eliminate the high-level beasts?" Lynn asked casually.

Theodore shook his head.

"No, of course not. Deaths and injuries are inevitable in trials. We can't let our juniors lose the opportunity to practice just for the sake of safety. We're here simply to help these lovely juniors maximize their value."

"What do you mean?" Lynn asked in a deep voice.

Theodore turned to look at Lynn, a sinister smile on his face.

"Junior Lynn, isn't the answer quite obvious?"

"The materials we need to collect are from these lovely junior students."
