Chapter 37


    Many nobles have wizard inheritance?


    Lynn was surprised in his heart, but his face remained calm. He had never known this before.


    He always thought that only a very small group of people knew about wizards, but judging from the fact that Dyb revealed his wizard identity so easily, it seemed that those who knew about wizards were not few.


    Could his teacher, Angley, also be a noble?


    He agreed to bring himself to Bangor Port. Could his teacher’s purpose also be rted to the ship that would arrive in five months?


    <em>Aftering here, you disappeared without a trace. Are you scheming something, my teacher?</em>


    “You may look down on our family’s inheritance, but I know where good things are. When our ancestors salvaged the statue together with a few items, we secretly had them appraised, and those items are all magical items,” Dyb said. “I know where they are hidden. Moreover, our ancestors left behind the address where the statue was salvaged. He called it the Eye of the Sea God. In hister years, he sailed alone into the Eye of the Sea God. Not only that, every generation of our family’s inheritors will disappear in their old age, and I suspect they all went there.


    “I noticed their movements. I destroyed the inheritance statue. For them to leave a new inheritance, they will definitely recruit ships and go to the Eye of the Sea God again.”


    Dyb said, “By then, I won’t take a single penny.”


    Seeing Lynn’s calm expression, Dyb suddenly leaned in, “You’re not thinking about how to get rid of me, are you? You wouldn’t be that ruthless, would you!?”


    Dyb covered his chest, “It really makes me very sad. If I can’t go back, this matter will be published in the city newspaper the next day. I don’t want to hurt my good brother.”


    “Do you think you can control me like this?” Lynn said expressionlessly.


    “No, no, no, I, Dyb, am very trustworthy. I only need you to help me once, just once.” The yful smile on Dyb’s face suddenly disappeared, leaving only deep loneliness. “Consider it a plea from a father who lost his child and a husband who lost his wife. Just this once. I promise to bury this matter in my stomach in the future.”


    “Let me hear your n first,” Lynn said.


    “They are preparing to go to the Eye of the Sea God by ship. I have read the family’s collection of books, and I know where the Eye of the Sea God is. The Eye of the Sea God is near an ind. By then, we can go to the ind in advance and ambush. They will definitely fish heavily at that time. We just need to find an opportunity to board the ship and deal with those few extraordinary beings. The rest will be easy. Ordinary people won’t be able to resist us at all. We just need to sail back to Bangor Port.”


    “It sounds like a good idea.” Lynn pped his hands with a smile, and dust scattered from his palms.


    The dust grew heavier, turning into dense smoke. Dyb, who was enthusiastically discussing his n, was caught off guard and ended up with a face full of soot. He was organizing his thoughts to articte his n when, unexpectedly, the guy on the opposite side pped his hands, seemingly innocently, thus activating a hidden Sleeping Curse. Caught off guard, Dyb fell victim to it.


    “You—” Dyb couldn’t believe it. Was this guy really not worried about his identity being exposed?


    <em>Boom</em>—


    Dyb slumped on the sofa.


    Lauren stood by like a stunned goose.


    “Search him, what are you standing there for?” Lynn said to Lauren.


    Lauren acknowledged and quickly walked over to search Dyb.


    Dyb was dressed in a brown linen robe with two loose pockets hanging all over him.


    From the outer pocket, Lauren pulled out a half-eaten dried fish. Then, from the inner lining pocket, he took out a rusty silver ring.


    The silver ring was of standard human finger size, but Lynn, looking at Dyb’s thick finger joints, guessed why the ring was hidden in his bosom.


    Looking at Dyb lying on the ground, Lynn’s expression was indifferent. <em>I just want to do my experiments peacefully. Why do you have to provoke me?</em>


    <em>Wouldn’t it be better to just take your own revenge honestly? Do you really have to drag me into this?</em>


    As for Dyb’s so-called im of information leakage, Lynn didn’t believe it.


    A guy who had been locked in a water dungeon for who knows how many years—what kind of loyal follower could he have? He even ate stolen dried fish from who knows where, not a single copper coin to his name.


    Lynn sneered. If there were such loyal followers, they would have found a chance to rescue him long ago.


    As for the so-called Sea God inheritance or Sea God treasure that Dyb mentioned, Lynn was not interested at all.


    Come on, that was the sea. If something unexpected happened, where could he run to? Swim back?


    Lynn wouldn’t willingly put himself in a desperate situation with no way out.


    He couldn’t help but think about finding an opportunity to <em>borrow</em> from the Bolent family. As for the interest… Lynn looked at Dyb’s head.??


    “Your story touched me, but I’m sorry—I also have people I need to protect,” Lynn said, taking out his magic staff.


    Acid Missile flew.


    Dyb’s head was instantly corroded, leaving only a headless body twitching slightly.


    The surrounding ground was also corroded, leaving pockmarked holes.


    Lynn couldn’t be sure if Dyb—now without a head—could survive. After all, this was a being with extraordinary powers, not an ordinary person.


    So Lynn sent another Acid Missile towards its heart position.


    Although this might cause significant damage to this experimental <em>material</em>, Lynn wanted to be cautious to ensure safety.


    If he could learn a spell that could kill an enemy without damaging the body, that would be great.


    Lynn brought Dyb’s body into the Alchemy Laboratory.


    “Let’s go,” Lynn said. “See if you can find the way he came.”


    The fog had already dissipated on the streets outside.


    Lauren followed Dyb’s scent left behind and tracked it all the way.


    After walking for nearly half an hour, they finally stopped in an abandoned hut near the old dock.


    “The smell here is the strongest,” Lauren said.


    Lynn looked around. The ceiling of this rundown shack had arge hole corroded through it.


    The walls were full of tiny insect holes, and the air was foul and damp.


    In the grass outside the hut, there were fish bones and scattered fish scales.


    It was evident that Dyb hadn’t been living well these past few days.


    “Master, there’s a ss bottle here,” Lauren said, picking up a hidden ss bottle from the corner. The ss bottle’s body was smooth to the touch, with no dust. The semi-transparent ss bottle revealed a yellowed piece of paper inside, resembling a message in a bottle.


    Removing the bottle cap and pouring out the paper, the handwriting on it looked somewhat childish.


    ‘I asked Mom why other kids all have dads. Mom said my dad turned into a fish and went to the sea, so if I write a letter to Dad and he receives it, can hee back to see Mom?’


    Below was a doodle-like drawing—a little boy holding the hand of an adult with his left hand and holding a fish with his right hand.


    On the fish’s illustration, there was a patch of scales with blood around the eye area.
