My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 129 News about the Earth's Veins

Blake stared at the badge for a long time.

He breathed a sigh of relief and returned the badge to Lynn.

"Lynn, please forgive my outburst. I was just a little excited when I suddenly saw the belongings of an old friend."

Blake looked somewhat sad.

Lynn took back the medal, thinking to himself that Blake was indeed connected with General Tullius.

However, he didn't ask directly, but instead waited quietly for Blake to continue.

Violet, who was standing nearby, was also a little curious.

She rarely saw her father act like this.

Tullius?

He appears to be a general from the Kingdom of Uma?

How could Dad have any contact with this person?

Under the questioning gazes of the two men, Blake sighed.

He glanced at Violet beside him, his tone tinged with a sigh.

"You probably don't know this, but this General Tulius of Uma is actually your uncle."

Violet was taken aback by what she heard.

She pointed to herself, somewhat incredulously.

"Huh? Could it be that our family has Uma blood?!"

Blake shook his head.

"Of course not. Tullius is a pure-blooded Iportuite. He is your grandfather's illegitimate son. We were on good terms when we were young, but later, due to his dissatisfaction with his family and the kingdom, he fled to the Kingdom of Uma, changed his surname, and chose to become a... shameful 'traitor'."

From then on, we lost contact and never interacted again. But no one could have imagined that he would achieve such a position in the Kingdom of Uma, and then make such a choice at the height of his power…”

Blake's eyes were complicated.

"It was only after I received that suicide note that I learned his true purpose in betraying the kingdom was to fight against the Uma people."

But it was too late then; he had already rebelled. I never got to apologize to him in the end…

After telling the truth, Blake was very depressed.

Lynn and Violet exchanged a glance, both quite surprised.

Violet was surprised to find herself with a hero general as her uncle.

Lynn suddenly understood the reason for General Tullius's rebellion.

So that was his original plan.

His admiration for General Tullius grew even stronger.

It's a pity that no one in Iportu knows his motives.

The people of Iportu in Siernus called him a traitor.

The Iportu people of the Uma Kingdom also believed that he had only started the rebellion for his own selfish interests, and were happy that he died at the hands of the Uma.

The blood shed by General Tullius only became ink for the world to vilify him.

The truth was completely swallowed up in the darkness with the annihilation of the entire army.

Lynn sighed softly, feeling a little sorry for him.

"I see. If you hadn't told me the truth today, I would probably still have misunderstood Lord Tullius. It's just a pity that no one in this world can clear Lord Tullius's name."

Blake also let out a long sigh.

He shook his head.

"If I weren't afraid of being attacked by those nobles, I would have already cleared my brother's name. All I can do is keep his will safe. If Iporto is ever truly restored, the truth will come to light."

Blake was in low spirits and clearly didn't want to talk about the topic anymore.

He looked up and gave Lynn a forced smile.

"I really didn't expect you to have this kind of background. But since you're a soldier my brother approves of, I feel comfortable entrusting my daughter to you, Lynn. Why don't we pick a date soon..."

"You old bastard!!! Stop this already!!!!"

Before Blake could finish speaking, Violet, enraged, punched her father in the waist.

Red-faced Violet used the skill [Despicable Kidney Strike]!!!

The father's attributes are countered by the daughter's attributes!

The effect is outstanding!

Blake Fox's defense has been breached!

Under Violet's relentless barrage of iron fists, Blake reluctantly ended the conversation.

Lynn, however, pretended not to hear anything and skillfully changed the subject.

"Sir, do you know anything about the latest news regarding ley lines within the country?"

Violet ran back into the house.

Blake thought about it carefully and then laughed.

"You're really lucky, kid. On my way here, I did see a place where it seemed like ley lines were emerging."

Lynn was startled upon hearing this and hurriedly asked, "Sir, where is that place?"

Blake waved his hand.

"Just call me uncle, calling me 'adult' is too formal."

To be honest, I only glanced at it from afar on the griffin, and the energy just felt familiar; it might not necessarily be a ley line.

As for its location, it's somewhat remote, situated at the southernmost tip of the Bilis Mountains, relatively close to Gongshan City.

Lynn was overjoyed to hear the location was so detailed.

He wanted to set off immediately, but Blake stopped him.

"Wait, I never agreed to let you go looking for any ley lines."

Blake looked at Lynn with a serious expression.

"With your talent, even if you follow the same career path, it would only take you a year to advance. Why are you in such a hurry? The situation is so complicated right now. I won't let you go without a good reason."

Lynn remained silent for a moment.

"Is my desire to follow the same path as General Tullius sufficient reason?"

Blake was speechless for a moment.

He remained silent for a long time before finally nodding helplessly.

"You pass."

However, not everyone can absorb the power of the earth's veins; even Tullius almost lost half his life back then.

"Don't rush, wait a few days before setting off. I'll get some supplies from my family; at least that should save your life."

Lynn bowed gratefully, but Blake stopped him.

"You are Tullius's soldier, so naturally you are my soldier too. We are all on the same side, so there's no need for such formalities."

Lynn nodded.

He suddenly remembered that he was going to drop out of school.

He was so excited about learning the location of the ley lines that he temporarily forgot about it.

"Uncle Blake, there's something else I need to report to you."

Lynn's expression was somewhat somber.

He took out the fifth-tier alchemy equipment from his storage ring.

"Yesterday I defeated all the first-year alchemists in the competition, and this is the prize I received from Jeremy Walsh: a set of Tier 5 alchemy equipment."

Blake was startled by what he heard, but quickly recovered.

Blake pondered for a moment and said, "You can take it without worry. Since it was obtained legitimately through the competition, I will naturally not let you suffer any injustice. I will take care of the Walsh family."

Lynn shook her head.

"Uncle, you've misunderstood me. I only took out this equipment to prove my alchemical skills. It doesn't matter if I have to return it later. What I wanted to say was..."

"How could it not matter! How could I possibly spit out a bone I've already got? This is a fifth-tier alchemy device! You couldn't even buy one if you wanted to!"

Blake interrupted Lynn instinctively, his tone somewhat agitated.

Lin En was stunned.

He hadn't expected Blake to react so strongly.

Just then, he was about to ask a crucial question.

"Uncle Blake is absolutely right. It seems you have a deep understanding of alchemy. I wonder if the Fox family is training alchemists?"

After asking the question, Lynn looked a little nervous.

Surely the Fox family wouldn't have done something so despicable?

If he does it, then he really has no other choice.
