Regardless of what happened between Late Bell Island and Koster.
Lin Suo, staying at home, was actually quite delighted.
Although the Power of Synthesis did not advance, once his strength was sufficient, many things were being updated and replaced.
For instance, the Deodorant Powder, which he cultivated into seeds, could be grown with Plant Control when needed, including the small kit he used to carry around all the time.
Corpse Melting Liquid, Five Confusion Barriers, and so on.
After adding Transcendent Magic Potions, he concocted several formulas, all of which could be controlled according to the situation, without the need for prior setup, ready for immediate use, which was very convenient.
There were also seeds that bore fruits rich in nutrients, seeds that bore fruits wrapped in water, and many other such creations, all inspired by that storied tree bearing cured sausage-like fruits he had once heard about.
Wizards inherently possess boundless imagination, and their creativity has always been second to none.
Cultivating these items into seeds for carrying around is more convenient for use in battle than the finished products.
Releasing them through vines is also more discreet.
Very suitable for him.
Grinding Alchemy Skill Level required him to make a large number of strange things, so after making a pile of them, he stopped.
They were all stored in the spatial pouch he carried.
He sat cross-legged underground, waiting for the beginner’s three-piece set to take shape.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
Lin Suo, in high spirits, summoned the Witch Wand, witch robe, and Flying Magic Carpet with a Summoning Spell, and after activating them in turn, he quickly donned the black robe with golden patterns.
The Witch Wand was inserted into the holster designed at his waist, where it could be drawn at any time, completely concealed by the robe.
Then he promptly sat on the Magic Carpet.
A smile spread across his face.
Magic Power was infused, and the Magic Carpet immediately flew towards the ground, passing through the Night Light Stone tunnels, and soon burst forth.
Carrying Lin Suo, it circled around the skies near Rhein Castle.
A Strong Repulsion Field silently activated, shielding him from the harsh winds.
After flying several circles, Lin Suo, almost sated with the experience, deactivated the field’s defense, and immediately, gusty winds lashed against his face, his gums exposed in the chill.
Yet nothing could stop Lin Suo’s excitement, this was the feeling he sought.
Nearly two years had passed, and now he could fly, albeit with the aid of a Magic Carpet, but he also knew the Flying Skill, just not as adeptly.
After enjoying himself for a while longer, Lin Suo calmed down and prepared to make a trip to Koster to see if there were materials for sale, such as sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal—he remembered they should be available.
Especially sulfur, which some Fire Element witchcraft also used.
The many maids within the castle watched Lin Suo as he flew off into the distance, their faces revealing smiles. Their master treated them well, although immersed in practice, he had never touched them.
The distance between Rhein Castle and Koster was neither close nor far.
Thanks to the advantage of flying, it took only an hour for Lin Suo to reach the vicinity of Koster, but the closer he got, the more somber his expression became.
The Demon Spirit Shark within him stirred, exuding a hunger.
The sight of the city shrouded in rolling black smoke made Lin Suo hesitant. Should he take a look inside? But if Reynolds hadn’t made a move, would he encounter danger?
From what he could see, the Nearshore District, the poor areas, Mixed Blood District, and Phil District had all fallen, with fire destroying too many buildings, only the Administration District and Upper City seemed to remain unscathed.
But the occasional flashes of colorful light betrayed that these two districts were not at peace either.
Lin Suo closed his eyes and sent his senses to the limit.
He did not detect any battle of Official Level wizards.
"What’s going on? Is not a single noble willing to intervene? What about the Court Wizards?"
Various doubts twirled in his mind, and after some thought, Lin Suo quickly lowered his altitude, preparing to sneak a peek inside.
Mainly the Iron Hook Tavern and Rhein Bookstore, he wanted to see if there would be any familiar faces trapped inside.
Just a glance, never linger!
"Rhein, come quickly."
Just as Lin Suo was about to enter the city, he stiffened and hastily scanned the surroundings, but couldn’t see anyone.
"It’s me, Reynolds. What you’re hearing now is a type of wave sorcery, not yet a fully established school."
Lin Suo immediately understood.
"Reynolds, what do you want from me? Why didn’t you take action?"
"At this point, I might as well not hide it from you. Actually, I am not a Court Wizard. The badge was forged by me."
"I knew it, a Wizard supported by the Empire would not act like you."
"That’s your lack of insight... Forget it, help me out now."
"Stop right there, pretend I was never here."
Originally, Lin Suo wanted to enter the city just to check, to prevent his old friends from being trapped when they came looking for him. Now that he himself has been targeted, screw it, better to take off first in respect.
"Hey, don’t rush, hear me out."
Lin Suo had no intention of stopping, but at this moment as he was turning around, a spectral image of an old man glittering with starlight, Reynolds, suddenly converged out of nowhere.
His expression was somewhat urgent.
"I am a Nine Ring Wizard, if you don’t help me, I will come looking for you after this is over."
The two stared at each other, each with a cold expression.
After a long while, it was Lin Suo who eventually spoke first.
"Why me again? There are so many more powerful Wizards among the nobility, why come to me!"
"You’ve raised a Demon Spirit, it’s very useful."
Lin Suo’s brows furrowed, realizing something.
"You want it to devour the curse in the city?"
"That’s an idea, but it’s not important right now. Hurry to Late Bell Island. The situation in the city is already known to the Capital, and someone will come soon to clean up this mess."
"There’s a big problem on Late Bell Island now."
"You start heading there, I’ll tell you on the way."
"No, if you don’t tell me, I won’t go even if you kill me."
Lin Suo just watched him with an expressionless face, this time Reynolds voluntarily gave in.
"There’s a problem with the Twilight Power of the Late Bell Sect."
"You wouldn’t understand even if I told you... Fine, I’ll tell you everything."
Lin Suo’s attitude, unconcerned like a dead pig not fearing boiling water, forced Reynolds to back down a second time.
"The Twilight Power originally belonged to an Ancient God, whose name I won’t mention, but in short, Alder tried to willingly fuse with the Twilight Power sealed within the shrine."
"However, this Twilight Power has been tampered with. You must know about the First Rank Wizard who died on Late Bell Island. He was turned into the Curse Source and merged into this pure power."
"And when the Purple Bauhinia Family attempted to suppress and collect it, they were ambushed by a Snake Demon, all contracting a new curse. Twilight and Eternal Drowning Curses, I am now suppressing their transformations and can’t leave."
Lin Suo’s brows furrowed, somewhat incredulous.
However, the Heart Seal did not sense any malice, so he said in a deep voice.
"This Demon Spirit of mine is freshly born, it can’t possibly devour a curse left by a deity, I can’t help you."
