Chapter 68 Gazes Smoldering with Resentment (2)

After waiting for a while and realizing that there was no chance of another ambush, Lynn retreated into the forest.

The forest was filled with tall trees, their trunks covered in moss, and the ground slightly damp with rainwater-soaked decomposed leaves.

Lynn walked deeper into the woods, using his mental strength to ensure that there was no one around. He carefully concealed the Alchemy Laboratory’s Rubik’s Cube under the decaying leaves, then opened the true form of the Alchemy Laboratory and entered.

Spending the night in the primitive forest outside was not as comfortable as enjoying the warmth of a small bed inside the Alchemy Laboratory.

Upon entering the Alchemy Laboratory, Lynn immediately caught a whiff of a strong smell of blood. Lauren was crouched on the ground, and a large pool of blood had accumulated beneath him.

Bowa was squatting behind Lauren, carefully stitching up his wounds in distress.

Lynn walked over and examined the situation. A gruesome wound had been slashed across Lauren’s back, and the scales on the surface of the skin near the wound were shattered.

The scales on Lauren’s body were extremely tough, even a musket might not be able to harm them. The knight who wielded two swords and managed to shatter the scales was no ordinary swordsman. Lynn touched the wound, the broken scales around the wound indicated that they were crushed by a powerful force.

The flesh around the wound was torn, and even the ribs on his back were visible. One of the ribs, directly impacted, had a small crack.

“I’ll take care of it,” Lynn said, crouching down and taking the needle and thread from Bowa.

As Lynn looked at Lauren’s wound, he contemplated the methods to modify them. Oh no, treat the injury.

Almost succumbed to his occupational disease, Lynn recalled the various experiments and potions related to mutant lizard-men he had conducted in Harin’s laboratory.

As he saw Lauren’s familiar, bloodied lizard-man body, Lynn couldn’t help but think of those mutated lizard-men he had dissected.

Quickly, Lynn treated the wound, stitching it up with a neat and smooth line following the muscle’s texture.

“The wound is stitched up,” Lynn said, standing up.

“Try not to engage in strenuous activities recently,” Lynn emphasized.

“I haven’t been doing anything strenuous,” Lauren scratched his head.

Lynn glanced at Lauren. “Don’t turn my laboratory into a nursery, creating a litter of half-lizards before we even get to the Wizard Academy.”

Lauren’s face instantly turned awkward, his gaze wandering, scratching his bald head, unable to suppress a silly grin.

Lynn shook his head and then sat on the bed to begin meditating.

He needed to recover his mental strength quickly.

For a wizard, ensuring the abundance of mental strength was essential to maintaining a sense of security!

…

On the other side.

Inside a snowy white building, Harin sat across from a young wizard with luxurious attire, shoulder-length golden hair, and an exceptionally handsome appearance.

“You’ve been sitting here for five hours and thirty minutes. If you have nowhere to sleep, I can lend you my room,” Diasterdan said helplessly.

“Is that young apprentice your student? You seemed to care about him so much.” Diasterdan asked curiously.

“What’s it to you?” Harin glanced at him.

Diasterdan smiled.

“Since you’ve stopped me, I’ll give you this face.” The deceased noble wizard apprentices outside had no connection to him. The only one who was related to him by blood, Andina, was so distant, spanning over a dozen generations, that it was as thin as paper.

The only thing that caught his interest was Andina’s wizard talent, which was barely decent. If she was willing to put in effort and had some luck, there was a slight chance for her to become an official wizard.

Andina was fine, but he couldn’t be bothered to care about the others.

“However, I am curious. With your personality, why would you care so much about a wizard apprentice? Is he perhaps your illegitimate child?”

“That’s not right either.” Before Harin could respond, Diasterdan shook his head.

If he were an illegitimate child, he wouldn’t appear in the Erdolu Kingdom. He would directly participate in the Abyss Wizard Academy assessment through internal channels.

“They’ve invited you several times to join the Erdolu Wizards Mutual Aid Alliance. After all, you were once a wizard who emerged from the Erdolu Kingdom. In the wizarding world, there are many organizations like ours, some based on ethnicity, others on countries or regions. Joining our Erdolu Wizards Mutual Aid Alliance would provide you with channels for trade and exchanges of resources,” Diasterdan said. “This time, they entrusted me to extend the invitation to you.”

“You’re quite talkative this time,” Harin replied with a cold tone.

Diasterdan chuckled, “Oh, I’ve been conducting experiments all these years, secluded for too long. Whenever I see a living person, I can’t help but ramble. You don’t mind me talking too much, do you?”

Harin sensed something and suddenly turned his head to the left.

To the left was a wall, empty and barren.

Following Harin’s gaze, Diasterdan also looked, “Oh, the apprentice you value has returned. What is he up to?”

On the other side of the street, a tall and thin man in a black wizard robe, wearing a mask, walked into the street with somewhat stiff steps.

The pure golden mask had two holes only at the eye position.

Behind the holes, a pair of dark eyes were hidden under the hood of the wizard robe, scanning the surroundings slowly.

This was Lynn, who, after meditating to restore his mental strength, had spent a little time crafting a golden mask for himself.

There weren’t many materials in the laboratory, only some useless gold.

The internal part of this golden mask was engraved with simple runes, capable of slightly disrupting mental probing.

However, it was only a slight interference, and if someone insisted on forcibly probing Lynn regardless of his feelings, he wouldn’t be able to stop them.

Of course, generally speaking, wizards wouldn’t be so impolite as to pry into others unless there were conflicts.

Lynn stopped in his tracks, looking at the familiar red short hair not far away in the wall corner.

Now it was already midnight, and most wizard apprentices didn’t have spatial items. They could only find a place near the buildings to rest for the night.

Fortunately, it wasn’t raining tonight, and the moonlight was hazy, creating a quiet night.

Lynn sighed inwardly.

After being attacked tactically, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. So I stayed up all night long to restore my mental strength. How can you still manage to sleep peacefully?

Since you enjoy resting so much, why not have a good eternal sleep? Lynn extended a hand from beneath his black robe.

Subtle fluctuations of mental energy circulated…

In fact, just as Lynn had speculated, some had considered the possibility of Lynn returning, but they found it somewhat absurd.

Moreover, they were still resting near the wizard’s building, and even Lynn, as audacious as he might be, wouldn’t dare to engage in wrongdoing right under the noses of wizards.

Boom!!!

The explosion sound of a Minor Fireball spell tore through the night sky.
