My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 9 Going to Annul the Engagement

Tina kicked him out of the house.

Lynn decided to make some wooden bowls to improve her fine motor skills.

He pulled over a low stool, sat down in the yard, and began carving wooden bowls.

The proficiency in fine-tuning operations is constantly improving.

Lynn's commotion caught the attention of her uncle and aunt.

Aunt kept nudging Uncle Anthony with her elbow and giving him meaningful glances.

Finally, Uncle Anthony walked over with a helpless expression.

"Lynn, your aunt asked me to ask you why you're making so many wooden bowls?"

When Aunt Edith heard that her uncle had implicated her, she glared at him from afar.

Lynn didn't know how to explain it.

"Well... for some reason, we're going to make a hundred wooden bowls today."

Anthony was completely baffled and scratched his head.

"Okay, do you need any help? I can help you split the wood beforehand."

Aunt Edith, standing some distance away, also cleared her throat somewhat awkwardly.

"Hmph, although I can't make any fancy wooden bowls, whittling wood isn't difficult at all. Sigh, I've finished weaving the cloth, so I'm a bit free today."

Lynn thought for a moment.

This would save some time, but I don't know if I can actually gain enough proficiency.

Let's give it a try and see.

Lynn smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

My uncle was in charge of chopping firewood, and my aunt was in charge of roughly shaping it.

Lynn carried out the final finishing touches.

This method effectively increases proficiency.

By evening, all 100 wooden bowls had been made.

[Proficiency +1]

[Proficiency +1]

Making a wooden bowl (Level 15/100)

【Fine Operations (Level 1 0/100)】

Looking at the yard full of exquisite wooden bowls, Uncle Anthony couldn't help but exclaim, "Lynn, your craftsmanship is truly superb; it's a real shame you're not a carpenter."

Aunt Edith rolled her eyes at him.

"He's an extraordinary being; if you want to be a carpenter, go be one yourself."

Uncle Anthony smiled awkwardly and asked Lynn:

"What are you going to do with these wooden bowls? Are you going to take them to town to sell? I can make a trip there tomorrow."

Lynn had intended to burn it with the firewood.

But seeing her uncle and aunt covered in sawdust, she still didn't say anything.

"Let's keep it for now and talk about it later."

The uncle nodded and began tidying up the yard.

Lynn also went over to help.

Tina didn't come inside until she had finished preparing dinner.

Tina cooked dinner tonight.

She said she made parsnip soup and baked bread.

This dish

But this soup looks like a demon has been forced to drown inside.

The bread also seems a bit too dark.

Uncle, Aunt, and Lynn stared silently at the food on the table.

Tina felt utterly ashamed at the sight of the three men's expressions.

Uncle Anthony sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Edith, maybe you should teach Tina how to cook. She'll never be able to get married like this."

Aunt Edith, unusually, didn't rebuke him, but instead nodded silently.

Lynn swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty.

There was unusual silence at the dinner table.

After quickly finishing dinner, Lynn went back to her room and continued studying alchemy for a while.

He flipped the page very quickly this time.

I finally managed to gain another 4 points of proficiency before going to bed.

Alchemy Theory (Level 0, 15/100)

the next day.

The plate armor and greatsword that Lucas promised arrived well in advance.

Lynn moved them into her room.

Finish your meal quickly.

Lynn changed into the embroidered coat and left home.

Today is the day he goes to Galach's house to annul the engagement.

The Galach family doesn't live in the village; they have their own estate.

Lynn rode his horse and soon found Gallagher's mansion.

The guards at the main gate were asleep.

Lynn walked straight through the fence and knocked on the gate.

After a while, an old man with a white beard and a Mediterranean hairstyle opened the door.

The old man looked at Lynn and felt that her face was somewhat unfamiliar.

"Sir, I am the butler here. May I ask what brings you to the Gallach family?"

Lynn said calmly, "I am Lynn Wilson. Please inform your patriarch that I wish to discuss the engagement with him."

The old housekeeper was taken aback at first, then hurriedly went upstairs.

Lynn closed his eyes and stood still, waiting quietly.

After a while...

When the old steward returned, he was followed by five or six guards carrying sticks.

The old butler stepped back into the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lynn, my master is very busy and cannot receive guests. Please leave first."

The guards gripped stiff wooden sticks, glaring menacingly at Lynn.

"Is this how the Gallach family treats its guests?"

Lynn sighed.

Although he knew that the annulment of the engagement would not go smoothly, he did not expect that the head of the Galah family would be so petty as to kick him out directly.

It seems there is absolutely no possibility of resolving this matter peacefully.

The old butler said in a muffled voice, "Mr. Lynn, please leave now."

"Alright, then I'll go see him myself."

Lynn walked straight inside.

The guards, armed with wooden sticks, tried to stop Lynn.

But Lynn, who had already become a superhuman, was not someone that ordinary people like them could stop.

His physical fitness was already much better than that of the average person.

After advancing to the level of a superhuman, the gap between them and ordinary people becomes vast.

Lynn dodged a few times, and the incoming wooden sticks all missed their mark.

The guards attacked again and again.

But they discovered that Lynn had already disappeared.

A living, breathing person vanished right before their very eyes!

The old steward panicked and immediately ordered the guards to search everywhere.

Lynn simply hid in a dark corner, quietly watching them wander around aimlessly like headless flies.

Once the guards had all left the hall, Lynn finally revealed himself.

He pressed the cold blade against the old butler's neck and whispered, "Now can you take me to see your master?"

The old butler remained silent, his face pale, and nodded.

And so, the old butler walked in front, while Lynn stood behind him with a sword pressed against his back.

They quietly made their way to the third floor.

Lynn only put his sword away when he arrived at Lord Gallagher's room.

The old butler opened the door with trembling hands.

William Gallagher, seeing the visitor, said with displeasure, "Old Northon, what do you want with me again? Can't your old eyes see that I'm resting?"

William was initially quite agitated, but seeing the old butler's terrified expression and the unfamiliar young man behind him, he instantly perked up.

Lynn walked into the house with a smile.

"Mr. Gallagher, I apologize for disturbing your rest. However, I think we can finally talk about annulling the engagement now."

William nearly collapsed in shock when he saw Lynn was unharmed and the short sword at his waist.

"You, you're that bandit Lynn!?"

Lynn clenched his fists instinctively.

Those damned gossipy village women have ruined his reputation.

Lynn said coldly, "Lord Gallagher, I have never been a bandit, but I am indeed a superhuman, a superhuman who is about to become a knight under Baron Nareel. Now, can we talk about annulling the engagement?"

William Gallagher breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Lynn was not a bandit.

However, his expression was still rather unpleasant.

He never expected that the damn Wilson family would produce a superhuman.

Moreover, he neither appears early nor late.

He had to show up just when his son was about to get married!

Now that things have come to this, is he left with no choice but to agree to annul the engagement?

No, he absolutely cannot agree!

The Gallagher family's reputation must not be tarnished!
