My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 17 On the Road

That afternoon, Lynn went to the village's herbal medicine shop.

He was preparing to make a poultice for external injuries.

This is also a recipe mentioned in alchemy books.

Although it lacks the main ingredient, egg grass, it should still be effective.

Sure enough, after applying it to his uncle, he clearly felt less pain.

Let's wait.

It will be fine once we get to the Kingdom of Sirnus.

It was a nation that respected alchemists, and it was also a nation that belonged to the people of Iporto.

Lynn was confident that they could live a good life there.

the next day.

Lynn was studying optical crystals.

He placed the crystal in the sunlight.

Under the sunlight, the crystal's exquisite facets reflect a dazzling array of colors and fire.

Putting aside the special properties of this crystal, its appearance alone makes it quite valuable.

No wonder Shia felt so bad when she gave it to herself.

Lynn waited quietly to the side.

After a few minutes, a layer of transparent light blue light condensed on the surface of the crystal ball.

This is a sign that the battery is fully charged.

Lynn picked up the crystal and pressed it down.

As Lynn pressed down, the blue energy on the surface of the crystal ball twisted into a small ball and instantly merged into his body.

As soon as the magic orb entered his body, Lynn subconsciously frowned.

I don't feel very good.

It felt as uncomfortable as if a ball the size of an egg had been stuffed into a tiny pore.

My entire hand was numb.

Is this what magic feels like?

According to Tina, he needs to circulate this magic orb in every corner of his body to meet the standard of a magic-type superhuman.

Lynn was in so much pain that her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

He no longer expects this thing to spread all over his body.

He wanted to know how he could improve his proficiency.

Lynn waited.

However, no proficiency information popped up for a long time.

"Perhaps we need to move it."

Lynn thought so.

But that's impossible.

Lynn had absolutely no control over this ball of magical energy.

Lynn tried to push him away, but nothing worked.

This can't go on.

He simply used the mental guidance method from the alchemy book to lock onto that magical energy.

Lynn endured the pain and silently recited the incantation in his mind.

Unexpectedly, Lynn actually managed to detect the blue magical energy in his senses.

Lynn subconsciously tried to move it with his mind.

The magical energy did not move, but its form changed according to Lynn's thoughts.

The originally spherical magical energy turned into a pool of wispy, free-flowing energy.

Lynn's spirits lifted.

He never expected that the mental energy guidance method could actually affect the energy of spells.

It seems that there is some special connection between spiritual power and magical power.

As the magical energy transformed into wisps of free energy, Lynn discovered that his will was finally able to move this energy.

After moving some energy within my body with my mind, the proficiency panel appeared as expected.

[Proficiency +1]

[Proficiency +1]

[Mental Power Control (Level 0 1/100)]

[Mana Adaptability (Level 0 1/100)]

Sure enough!

This is not only training his physical adaptability to magic, but also simultaneously improving the strength and control of his mental power!

Lynn was overjoyed.

It's important to know that mental strength is the core of an alchemist's power.

How far an alchemist can go depends on the growth potential of his mental strength.

Although Lynn has a proficiency system that allows him to infinitely increase the rank of an alchemist.

However, the improvement in his mental strength also brought him considerable benefits.

This can greatly reduce the difficulty of his alchemy and also improve the quality of the medicine!

However, this training session was extremely physically demanding.

Lynn felt extremely exhausted after moving just once.

If he continues training, he fears his body will suffer irreversible damage.

Lynn placed his hand on the crystal ball and pressed down on the back.

In an instant, the free-state magical energy in Lynn's hand was all drawn back.

Lynn went straight back to her room and fell asleep immediately.

Lynn slept from morning until five or six in the afternoon without even having lunch.

Uncle Anthony didn't wake Lynn until the village messenger came looking for him.

It was said that there was a letter that had to be received by the recipient in person.

Lynn came out of the room and saw the messenger off.

He went back to his room to read the letter.

Just by looking at it, Lynn could tell it was a letter from Shea.

The fire seals used by members of the Restoration Society all seem to feature a design of fire and sword.

I don't know what she wanted to talk to me about.

Perhaps the people on Sirnus's side agreed to his transfer?

But isn't this speed a bit too fast?

With questions in mind, Lynn opened the letter.

The letter was folded up, and the back read "To Lynn Wilson".

Unfold the letter; it contains only a very short passage.

........................

To Lynn

Lucas has been exposed, and it's uncertain whether he'll betray us. Please proceed to Lodosa City immediately; I will meet you there and await General Siernus's further instructions. As for your family, we apologize that they must remain in Nareel for the time being.

Members of the Iporto Restoration Association

Shea Boifir

........................

This is bad news.

After reading the letter, Lynn silently put it into the lining.

His mind was a bit confused.

However, the movement was not delayed in the slightest.

He immediately rushed into the main room and told his uncle's family to pack their things.

The uncle and aunt stared blankly at Lynn, still not understanding what was going on.

Despite Lynn's forceful command, they hurriedly packed their things.

Lynn turned and went back into the house to put on his chainmail and short sword.

Aside from the light-guiding crystal, money, and the alchemy book, nothing else here can be taken with you.

As for the nonsense Xia said, asking him to abandon his family is absolutely impossible!

He must take his uncle's family with him!

Bullshit, waiting will always get a response!

Lynn refused to believe that if he took his family and went there, Sylnus would just ignore it!

I quickly packed up.

Lynn then pushed her still confused uncle, aunt, and Tina onto the carriage.

The family sat inside the carriage and headed out of the village.

Aunt Edith looked flustered and hurriedly asked, "Lynn, what happened? You need to tell us what's going on!"

Uncle Anthony's face had gone down considerably, and he quickly chimed in, "Yes, Lynn, what exactly happened?"

Tina stared uneasily at Lynn's retreating figure, biting her lip without saying a word.

She believed her brother would protect them.

Lynn sat outside the car, constantly urging Xiao Ma to speed up.

Faced with his family's doubts and fears, he gritted his teeth and found it difficult to speak.

"We...we're going to Sinus."

"Sinus?"

Aunt Edith seemed to have realized something, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"Lynn, you, you wouldn't..."

Lynn did not reply.

It's no use saying anything now.

Once Lucas reveals his name, according to the laws of the Uma Kingdom, his entire family will be executed.

He could only pray that Lucas hadn't betrayed him, or that the men Nareel sent were slow.

Once we escape Nareel's territory, things will be much easier.

The pace of administration in this world is generally very slow.

By the time all the cities in the Kingdom of Uma are plastered with bounty posters bearing his image, he will probably have already fled to the capital of Sirnus.

With that thought in mind, Lynn stopped the carriage.

It wasn't that he took the wrong path, or that he had some leisure to admire the distant, crimson sunset...

Instead, it was the row of cold, solemn gray-armored cavalrymen ahead of the road.

It seems they have been waiting here for quite some time.

Lynn's throat felt a little dry.

He fell off his horse and struggled to pull out his short sword.

In this situation, he didn't know if he could escape alive.

We have no choice but to take a gamble.

Large swaths of dark clouds were pushed in by the wind from afar.

The last remaining rays of the setting sun were also obscured by dark clouds.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Just as Lynn was about to make his move, the leading knight on the other side rode out alone.

There were no orders to attack or cold judgments as I had imagined.

The knight leader dismounted and gave a knightly salute with one hand over his chest.

He lowered his head, his tone respectful.

"Lord Lynn, please come with us. The Baron wishes to see you."
