Chapter 37 Heading to the Temple
The carriage moved leisurely along.
The road ahead was clear, and there was no need to worry about the horses going the wrong way.
Lynn found the wealthy businessman's storage ring.
He examined the items inside according to the method Violet had taught him.
Lynn flipped through it.
Most of them are things like gold coins and gems.
And of course, there's magic powder.
Lynn simply threw it away.
He continued to organize the search supplies.
Finally, he pulled out a short sword from a pile of sexy women's lingerie.
Lynn flipped his hand and took it out.
This is a short sword with an extremely exquisite appearance.
It is about 70 centimeters long.
The scabbard is made of ebony wrapped in exquisite snakeskin.
A delicate emerald is set at the end of the hilt, sparkling brilliantly in the sunlight.
Lynn drew his sword and swung it twice, quite satisfied with the weight distribution.
The only drawback is that this sword is too heavy for a short sword.
It's almost like wielding a heavy sword.
Lynn examined the sword closely, feeling utterly bewildered.
Isn't this just an ordinary steel sword?
How can it be so heavy?
Confused, Lynn put the short sword away and hung it at his waist.
When his palm brushed against the emerald on the hilt of the sword.
A slight tingling sensation came from my head.
It feels the same as a storage ring.
Lynn was drawn to this.
He activated the emerald on the sword hilt in the same way he used the storage ring.
In an instant, the entire sword twisted and expanded strangely like flowing water.
Ultimately, the original short sword was transformed into an elegant and exquisite greatsword.
Two lines of inscription are engraved on the end of the sword in Sinusian.
Happy 16th birthday, son!
[Father, September 1, 1026]
The time is very soon.
It looks like it's a birthday present for my son.
It just hasn't been mailed out yet, probably because of the war on the front lines.
"...No wonder it was done so beautifully."
Lynn stroked the greatsword's blade, admired it for a while, then shrunk it and put it away.
He sighed softly.
He raised his whip and quickened his pace to get home.
......
noon.
Lynn arrived in Nareel.
Using Violet's teleportation point, he first teleported to the hotel at White Horse Tavern.
He needs to hurry and pack his things out of the room.
Violet isn't in Nareel City right now, so if someone comes in to clean, it might cause trouble.
Lynn walked toward the alchemy table in the corner of the room.
The tools are complete.
There was also a large package and a note on it.
Lynn picked up the note and read it.
......
To Lynn
If you see this note, it means you've passed the test. I've prepared the books and materials for you; I paid for them myself, a total of 5000 silver nis. Remember to return them to me when you get to the National Academy.
P.S.: If you can't pay back the money in the short term, you'll have to work as a supporting actor at the Queen's Theatre to pay it off. Just so you know, I have very high standards for supporting actors' acting skills, so you can practice on your own when you have free time.
Violet Fox
......
Lynn chuckled and put the note into his storage ring.
He opened the package.
At the top are two books, and below them are all the materials needed for the Blacklight Moon Leopard Potion.
One book is "Notes on Old Ric grammar", and the other is "Dictionary of Old Ric".
Lynn looked at it for a while, then put the package and the entire alchemy table into his storage ring.
At this point, more than half of the ring's space had been used.
I wish I had a bigger ring.
Lynn thought so.
But that's not something he should be thinking about right now.
A storage ring is extremely expensive.
Violet said that only the Kingdom of Areca can produce this kind of storage ring.
Areca monopolizes the entire storage ring industry, which is why these things are so incredibly expensive.
The principle behind this is actually quite simple.
In short, it involves creating a stable space in the subspace and then setting up a teleportation array.
It is powered by an external light-guiding magic crystal, making it usable even by ordinary people.
However, apart from the Kingdom of Areca, no one else has a large-scale magical facility like a warp anchor, so Sylnus has been unable to produce one from the beginning.
Lynn took the storage ring off his hand, found a rope, and hung it around his neck.
After tidying his clothes, Lynn touched the teleportation array leading to the bedroom.
I wonder how Tina is doing now.
Lynn felt that their relationship was a little awkward right now.
Mana infusion.
A distorted vision appeared before my eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Lynn was teleported back to her bedroom.
He breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to go downstairs to let his uncle and aunt know he was safe.
But when he opened the door, he saw a messy and chaotic corridor.
Tina's door was open.
There were multiple footprints on the carpet in front of the door, indicating that someone had struggled to break free.
The only saving grace was that there was no blood.
Anxiety gradually filled Lynn's entire body.
My aunt's faint sobs drifted up from downstairs.
He immediately ran downstairs and saw his Aunt Edith sobbing on the sofa in the living room.
Something really happened.
Lynn's mind went blank.
How could anyone possibly harm his family?
Who is it?
A flame of fear and rage gradually spread throughout his body.
Lynn's body was trembling involuntarily.
As soon as Aunt Edith saw Lynn, she rushed over to him.
However, she was so weak that she couldn't stand up straight and was about to fall to the ground.
Lynn immediately stepped forward to support her.
Suppressing her anger, Lynn asked softly, "Auntie, what happened? Where did Tina and Uncle go?"
Aunt Edith pressed down on Lynn's arm, sobbing, "Lynn, you're finally back! You must go to the temple! Tina has been captured by a group of priests, and it didn't work even though I told them you were the Baron's man. Your uncle went to the temple, but the people there said they knew nothing about it. He's still outside the temple. Please go, please go, sob sob sob..."
Lynn clenched his fists, veins bulging.
"Nansha Church..."
Why them?!
He helped his aunt back to the sofa and then immediately rushed outside.
Lynn ran quickly down the street.
He is now much faster than a horse.
As he ran, Lynn forced himself to calm down.
He considered countless possibilities in his mind.
But I still can't figure out why.
All he knew was that he must not act impulsively in front of the temple.
If they were to offend the Uma priests of the Nansha Church, things would become even more complicated.
What he should do now is first find out what's going on, let his uncle go home, and then quickly go to Brown Narell for help!
With that in mind, Lynn gradually slowed down.
Ahead lies the settlement area of the Uma people.
The Nansha Temple is located inside.
Lynn was about to step over the wooden sign marking the district when she suddenly saw someone on the street.
An Iportuan man wearing the robes of a South Seas priest.
Thomas Gallagher!
Anger filled Lynn's entire mind.
yes!!!
How could he possibly forget that despicable bastard who deserves to be torn to pieces?!
Nareel and the church had absolutely no reason to attack Tina!
The only suspect is that bastard Thomas!!!
No wonder the temple said they knew nothing about this!
That bastard! He should have killed him back then!!!
Lynn immediately took a step and disappeared into the alley.
[Shadow Man] activated.
Lynn's figure moved swiftly through the alley like a ghost.
He appeared in front of Thomas in the blink of an eye.
Just as Thomas was leisurely strolling down the street.
An invisible hand pulled him into the alley.
A sharp blade was pressed against his neck.
The blade was icy cold.
A cool breeze brushed against my skin.
Thomas looked up and saw that bloodshot face, and his legs immediately went weak.
He raised his hands, his voice trembling.
"Brother, spare me! What are you doing? Didn't we agree to take revenge on my father? Have you forgotten?"
Lynn stared intently at him, her tone icy.
"Still playing dumb? Tell me! Where did you tie Tina up?! I'll give you three counts, and if you take more than a second, I'll break a bone in your head!"
Thomas was completely dumbfounded.
"W-what Tina? I don't know anything about her!!!"
