Chapter 7 The Servant (Part 1)

This spell is really convenient for destroying evidence and covering up a corpse.

However, the power of wizards is truly terrifying. I, a mere novice with only a staff and not even a wizard apprentice, was able to defeat a regular team of more than a dozen people led by a knight.

What kind of ability does a teacher who can teach you so easily possess?

Of course, Lynn understood very well that, according to the knowledge he learned from the Wizard's Handbook, wizards were not fragile with high attack but low health, and rather tended to be well-rounded, all-around warriors.

But those are all terms used to refer to formal wizards, and have nothing to do with me, a mere apprentice.

Having no means of defense, the attack was only successful because of the geographical advantage and the element of surprise.

If I were ambushed and attacked, my frail body wouldn't be able to withstand a musket shot, nor could it withstand a heavy greatsword or sharp arrows.

But everything will get better slowly. I can learn a lot from Anglie.

However, since so many people on the other side died, although we don't know where they came from, they must have been forces from the nearby area.

It could belong to a nobleman, or it could belong to a bureaucrat in the town.

Anglie was collecting experimental subjects extensively, and perhaps one of the missing people was a relative of a nobleman or official.

The enemy has suffered heavy losses; next time, they will only send more men.

I just hope that next time I can come during the day, so that Anglie will make a move.

Lynn felt a sense of urgency and decided to try to meditate more to trigger more daily tasks.

Unfortunately, my task system is a bit rigid; it only displays tasks when I meet the conditions to trigger daily tasks.

Previously accumulated general experience points can be used to level up.

You will receive a 0.3 increase in all attributes after leveling up.

This includes, but is not limited to, physical fitness and mental strength.

After Lynn leveled up, he clearly felt that his meditation speed had increased.

However, he did not conduct rigorous testing and could not determine the exact amount of efficiency improvement.

But meditation itself is a delicate activity, so Lynn clearly felt the changes within himself.

Increasing your level can improve meditation efficiency; in simpler terms, it's like improving your "aptitude."

Therefore, the faster you improve in the early stages, the better, because once you improve quickly, the efficiency of improvement will be even higher.

The earlier you improve, the greater the efficiency and gains will be.

To upgrade Mutation Science from level 1 to level 2, it requires a full 1,000 universal experience points, which can be used to upgrade the level by a full 10 levels—if the experience points required do not increase with the level.

"Well done." A voice suddenly came from behind.

Lynn tensed up, then relaxed, recognizing the voice behind him as his teacher's.

"Teacher." Lynn turned her head and bowed slightly.

"However, the aftermath wasn't handled well," Anglie said. "Those four will relay the message back: the knight you killed had a hibiscus pattern on his armor, and he was a knight under the Duke of the Hibiscus."

"Every knight trained by nobles is registered, and if they die or go missing, it will attract the attention of the nobles behind them."

"You should know all too well what kind of people these nobles are," Anglie said calmly.

Lynn knew all too well what kind of people nobles were.

These nobles were greedy, ruthless, and unscrupulous.

Whether it was the memories of her former self or the various experiences after transmigrating, Lynn understood that the so-called laws of the kingdom were merely a shield for those in power and influence, and just an empty piece of paper for ordinary people.

Thirty years ago, the kingdom revised a "constitution" that claimed to protect the rights of its citizens.

Previously, the tailor's daughter and her friend were assaulted while out sketching. The tailor went to the police station to report it, and that same night, a group of thugs broke into his house, ransacked it, and no one ever saw the tailor again. His daughter and wife were also abducted. Later, someone saw his wife and daughter in the town's red-light district, and not long after, the tailor's wife and daughter committed suicide in the red-light district.

Everyone knew that the man who assaulted the tailor's daughter was the baron's youngest son, but no one could do anything about it.

Because the local police chief was the baron's brother-in-law, the mayor was the baron's younger brother, and the baron's family maintained a guard of hundreds of men, all of whom were equipped with muskets.

The baron's family in town is all-powerful.

And this is just a baron; above barons are viscounts, earls, marquesses, dukes, and princes.

The nobles, layer upon layer, were like bloodsuckers of varying sizes crawling on the behemoth that was the kingdom.

Even with repeated constitutional revisions, the kingdom's deeply entrenched problems remain unchanged.

Gunshots suddenly rang out from the distant forest.

A moment later, a tall, dark figure moved through the woods.

Under the moonlight, the dark figure rapidly approached the cabin. As it drew closer, Lynn finally saw the figure's appearance clearly in the moonlight.

Lynn was somewhat surprised.

This is clearly Lauren, the lizard man from the teacher's lab this morning.

In just one day, Lauren turned into this.

"Master, it's all been resolved." The lizardman knelt on one knee.

The soft moonlight shone on its smooth scales, giving them a metallic sheen. Its robust body was extremely strong, and with its highly developed muscles, there was no doubt about its fighting prowess on the battlefield.

The fact that warriors of this caliber could be mass-produced using only potions was quite remarkable. These past few days, Lynn had been assisting Anglie, and Anglie hadn't been particularly discreet about making the potions. Based on his knowledge, Lynn could roughly deduce that the potion that could transform people into lizardmen wasn't particularly expensive.

The power of a wizard lies not only in his personal strength, but also in other aspects, which may be even more terrifying.

"There's no trouble for now, but things won't be quiet here for long. Pack your things, go to town to buy a carriage, and prepare to head to Bangor Port in the south," Anglie said.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn was first taken aback, then overjoyed.

"The potion is successful. Go pack your things. I'll give you the spell to control him. I've already silenced all the magical traps in this house. You can come and go as you please." Anglie tapped Lynn's forehead, then turned and went upstairs.

Lynn felt a tickle between her brows, as if something had suddenly appeared in her mind.

When I came to my senses, Professor Anglie was already far away.

Lynn closed his eyes and let his mind sink into his consciousness.

In the center of the consciousness space, seven earth rings slowly rotated, resembling a rotating celestial body in the pitch-black space of consciousness.

Beside it, a three-dimensional structure, glowing with a pale blue light and resembling a rune, floated quietly.

Lynn sensed it, and the rune fed back the information.

Lynn learned of its function.

This is a mind control spell with two functions: one is to forcibly prohibit, and the other is to punish.

Once activation is forcibly disabled, the unit controlled by the control spell will be forcibly stopped from performing any actions currently being performed by its body.

The punishment will cause a lot of mental pain, and there is also an adjustment bar for the pain level.

A pale blue, transparent line extended out from the control spell.

Lynn opened his eyes, his deep black pupils gazing toward the pale blue transparent line.

The transparent line extended all the way to the brow of the lizardman kneeling in the courtyard outside the window.

This lizardman has probably already been disciplined by his teacher.
