My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 61: The Truth?

The scene was extremely quiet.

Brown's eyes were fixed on Lynn's figure.

"So, the one who ambushed me at the manor that day... was it you too?"

Brown's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists.

Lynn nodded.

Brown still couldn't believe this absurd fact.

Even the most talented person cannot grow this fast.

He worked hard for decades to achieve what he has today.

How could Lynn possibly do that?!

Rather than believing that Lynn could become strong so quickly, he was more inclined to think that Lynn had plotted against him from the very beginning.

What he wanted was his own territory and property, which is why he deliberately infiltrated!

Although this conclusion is completely illogical, Brown is clearly more accepting of it than the absurd reality.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Lynn, you want my territory, don't you!?"

Lynn didn't have the time to explain everything to him.

He said coldly, "Brown, give Tina back, and I'll spare your life."

Brown looked into Lynn's calm eyes, but his heart was in turmoil.

It seems he is unaware that he has handed his sister over to the church.

Perhaps, this holds his only way out.

Brown took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He forced a smile and said, "Lynn, we don't really have any grudges between us. You had no reason to kill me, did you?"

Lynn suppressed his anger and nodded.

Although he said he would spare his life, he had already sentenced Brown to death in his heart.

If it's just about offending himself, he can consider whether to let go or not from a perspective of self-interest.

But when I think about the pressure Violet and her father will face, and Tina's panicked expression at this moment...

Everyone has paid the price for this.

Now he thinks he can save his life with just a casual remark...

Absolutely impossible!

Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Brown, stop talking nonsense! Where did you hide my sister? Tell me!"

Brown looked completely innocent, then clutched his chest in grief.

"Lynn, I assure you, your sister's disappearance has nothing to do with me. The church forced me to do it!"

You don't know yet, do you? Your sister has extraordinary talent. The moment you brought your family into the city, the priests of the church noticed her and wanted to make her a saint of the church!

Think about it carefully! You are the alchemist I value most, so why did I suddenly kidnap your sister? That makes absolutely no sense! Shouldn't I have done everything I could to nurture you and make you remember the kindness I showed you?

So the church forced me to do all of this! They knew Tina was your sister, and they knew you had connections with the Restoration Society. They had also disliked me for a long time, so they made me take the blame!

Right now! Your sister is in the banquet hall of the White Horse Tavern. The church people are celebrating their capture of the saintess. The church bishop and the high priest are all there right now!

Lynn, once you see for yourself, you'll know that not a single word I'm saying is a lie!

Brown stared straight at Lynn.

A forced, yet awkward smile played on his lips.

Lynn frowned and raised his sword, pointing it directly at him.

"Brown, I'm giving you one last chance. If you still don't tell the truth, I'll cut off both your legs first, and then you can forget about running away."

Lynn held Brown in deep contempt.

This guy will say anything to save his life.

Her talent is terrifying; she's been targeted by the church. Why does she still want to be a saint?

This can't possibly be Tina!

From the day his uncle and aunt brought two- or three-year-old Tina to the manor, to their first meeting, and then to the moment he secretly left his uncle's house, Lynn could be said to have watched Tina grow up.

This child can't even memorize the multiplication table, took a long time to learn how to use a knife and fork, and doesn't even know how to wipe her snotty nose. You're telling me she has terrifying talent?

Although ten years have passed, she still can't cook!

His sister is good for nothing except being pretty and kind-hearted!

To say that she was being targeted by the church is utterly absurd nonsense; even a fool wouldn't believe it!

Brown didn't understand why Lynn was suddenly so angry.

He clearly believed that his half-truth and half-lies were flawless.

Brown's expression turned somewhat grim.

"Lynn, believe it or not, I'm telling the truth. Your sister is at the White Horse Tavern right now; you can see for yourself."

Lynn said in a deep voice, "Alright, then let's go to the White Horse Tavern together. You know what will happen if Tina isn't there."

Brown cursed Lynn in his heart.

If he could go back, would he still have fled the city in such a panic?

Brown took off the storage necklace from his chest and forced a smile, saying, "Lynn, you know the value of this storage necklace, right? I'm using it as collateral. I'm not lying to you. You should hurry and save your sister. She might be transferred to the capital by the church. Then you'll have no chance to save her at all."

As for us, I hope we can part ways amicably. Who knows, we might even be friends if we meet again in the future.

Lynn took the necklace and shook her head.

"I'll gladly accept the storage necklace, but you still can't leave. You can't leave until I see my sister with my own eyes."

Brown's face darkened, and he roared, "Lynn, do you really think I can't do anything to you?! Die!"

Brown then took out a series of spell scrolls from his chest and pointed them directly at Lynn.

Lynn was startled and quickly jumped to the side.

It turns out that the guy handed over the storage necklace just to put him on his guard; he had already carried all the spell scrolls in the necklace with him!

Brown unfurled scrolls of spells and frantically tilted them.

Lynn dodged the spells in a sorry state.

However, he did not panic.

These first-tier spells are not fatal even if they hit you.

What he was really worried about was the purple scroll that had given him such a jolt that day.

That's what truly threatens him.

The two continued their struggle in the wilderness.

Violet, lurking in the shadows, was torn between whether or not to make a move.

Meanwhile, the two priests on the city wall had been watching the battle closely.

To be honest, Ryder was quite surprised when Lynn revealed her face.

After all, apart from the magic-based priests, all the physical-based superhumans who consumed the blood of the gods were transformed into guardians of the faith without any self-awareness.

Surprisingly, the man in black did not bear any church markings on his face.

Then it's definitely not a case of colleagues poaching people.

But whose side is this guy on?

Could it be that those rats from the Restoration Society have finally dared to face the light of day?

Ezra noticed the bishop's surprise and quickly added, "My lord, the man in black below is the saintess's brother."

Ryder was taken aback.

"The saintess's brother is actually a superhuman?"

Ezra nodded.

"The saintess's brother is named Lynn. He is a member of the Restoration Society, and he was the one who led the saintess out of the city."

Ryder pondered for a long time after hearing this.

"The background of the Restoration Society...that's a bit tricky."

However, he made his choice very quickly.

"Alright, let's keep waiting."

If Lynn is no match for Nareel, let him die on the spot. It has nothing to do with us. Even if the Holy Maiden hates us, she won't be able to. Let's just pretend we know nothing.

But if Lynn can kill Nareel, then we can control him and take him away with the saintess. This would make it easier for the saintess to cooperate with the church's future experiments.

"Ezra, what do you think of my idea?"

Ezra smiled obsequiously upon hearing this.

"Your Excellency is wise!"
