Pioneer Wizard's Notebook

The laboratory on the second floor of the manor.

Lind picked up a piece of charcoal and threw it into the fireplace.

The ash-furnace rat was lying inside, yawning with its head resting on its soft, large tail. Hearing the noise, it quickly jumped up, grabbed the charcoal, and happily began to gnaw on it.

Its large tail glowed with an orange-red light, and the lowest setting of solar wind swirled up.

The chill dissipated, and the laboratory immediately became warm and comfortable.

"Lie there, don't think about anything, get a good night's sleep, and everything will be alright when you wake up."

Lind comforted Warren, telling him to lie down on the bed and take off his clothes.

Then, the iron scalpel, which had been soaking in the magic liquid extracted from the superior sunflower, was removed.

The Wolf Fang Scalpel possesses the aura of an ice storm, making it suitable for modifying Frost Enhancement Runes, but it will conflict with Sun Runes.

Linde currently doesn't have suitable materials, so he has to make do with this for now, but fortunately, the impact isn't too great.

With the preliminary preparations complete, he looked at Warren, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and tense.

Unlike the Icefield Knight's modification or the Ash Furnace Rat's evolution.

Warren was just an ordinary knight's squire, and his physical fitness was not up to standard, so Lind was not prepared to carry out a complete bloodline modification.

It's not possible under the current conditions.

This surgery only involved using the solar energy rune to dispel the cold poison in the bones of the other person's arm.

Having completed numerous modification experiments, Linde is now quite adept at it.

The magical threads paralyzed the nerves, and the scalpel skillfully cut open Warren's right arm, locating the pale bone affected by the cold poison.

Then, the solar energy-gathering rune was engraved on top, and magic liquid was poured in. After activating the rune in a small area, the cold poison was dispelled.

The surgery was completed easily, and the whole process took less than half an hour.

After resolving Warren's problem, Lind found another injured knight's squire and treated his arm problem in the same way.

After a short rest.

The two boys recovered and gradually adapted to the strength in their arms.

"Why not give it another try? Drawing the longbow will no longer be difficult for you, it will be a piece of cake."

At the firing range, Lind smiled and said to them.

Warren picked up the longbow with trembling hands, fearing that the nightmare of terror would strike again.

This time, however, the bowstring opened steadily under his strength, and the bow arm bent.

With a dull thud, the arrow was shot out and pierced the distant target.

"My arm, has it really recovered?"

Warren stood there, stunned.

Another boy couldn't wait to try it.

Then, the sound of two boys crying with joy echoed across the shooting range.

Some things you only learn to cherish after you've lost them.

The power they had regained made their faces flush with excitement, and their eyes as they looked at Lind were fervent enough to melt an ice river.

"It looks like it's working quite well."

Linde took out his wizard's journal and made notes, quite satisfied with the results.

Besides helping the two knights' squires recover their arms, this was also an experiment for him.

He currently possesses two major runes.

The Frost Enhancement Rune can be engraved on the heart through Bloodline Modification, enhancing the body's overall qualities through blood.

But the Solar Energy Rune won't work.

The Ashfire Rat is an exception; its ability to evolve relies on the accumulation of bloodlines over countless generations, with runes merely serving as a guide.

If Linde were to inscribe the solar energy rune on a human's heart...

It's likely that once activated, it would ignite the blood in the person being modified, turning them into a giant fireball, making success almost impossible.

But now, Lind finds himself in another direction.

Perhaps he could inscribe the solar energy rune into the modified man's arm bones.

This allows them to activate runes when unleashing their combat skills, fusing the skills with the fire of the sun.

With its terrifying energy-gathering effect, the power of the extraordinary combat skills it releases will far surpass that of Icefall Slash; that is the true large-scale destructive skill!

However, this is only a preliminary idea.

To truly integrate the runes with the knight's power, many subtle adjustments are still needed.

Linde needs to conduct more live experiments.

At the same time, one must collect extraordinary materials related to the sun or fire in order to attempt further bloodline modification.

Regardless, the emergence of new ideas is always something to celebrate, and Lind was in a good mood.

And in the distance of the firing range.

The two knights were silently watching that direction.

"I don't think I need to explain what happened at the firing range to you."

Knight William crossed his arms, leaned one leg against the wall, and spoke first.

Knight Wayne remained silent, his eyes fixed intently on the movements of the two knights' attendants, as if afraid of missing a single detail.

After confirming that both of their arms had truly recovered.

For the first time in a long time, his tired and listless eyes brightened, and flames of hope surged forth.

"Yes, no explanation needed."

Wayne replied.

Since arriving at Sunflower Farm, he has been indifferent to everything there.

Neither the miraculous winter wheat fields, the golden sunflowers, nor the powerful supernatural monsters mentioned by the residents had anything to do with him.

The only things he cared about and paid constant attention to were the two knight squires who had been injured by the Ice Demon.

Wayne contacted them and confirmed it himself.

The reason these two people's arms are so weak is because they have been eroded by the cold poison.

Although the symptoms are much milder than those of cold poisoning, they belong to the same category.

To be honest, Wayne was very disappointed.

Even though he had no hope to begin with, he still felt a deep sense of desolation and pain after confirming that he had been deceived.

Having made up his mind to train this group of longbowmen, he quietly left the place.

But now he realizes he was wrong, terribly wrong.

"I deeply regret my previous skepticism about the sunflowers."

Wayne bowed deeply to Lind's position, a flame of hope burning brightly in his eyes.

"The training of longbowmen needs to be accelerated; with the current military strength, we are no match for Windcliff City!"

At this moment, he truly felt like a part of the Sunflower Manor and was eager to improve the army's strength.

He trains an army, cultivates knightly squires, and also has extraordinary monsters and powerful knights under his command.

All signs indicate that the Sunflower Lord harbors lofty ambitions and will not remain confined to the small town of Prosperous Flower Territory in the future.

Huai En didn't care about the other person's ambition.

After confirming that his daughter could be saved, he couldn't wait to train all the longbowmen into archery knights and wipe out Fengya City in one fell swoop!

Wayne hurried away, preparing to devise a more detailed plan regarding the training of the longbowmen.

"It seems things are moving in the best possible direction."

William, who remained in place, stretched out his body and revealed a relaxed smile.

Although the lord had not given any orders, as the guardian knight of the territory, William would not allow any unstable or threatening factors to exist.

I'm sorry, but he won't give Wayne the option to leave.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

The sunlight once again dispelled the gloom that shrouded this land.

William bowed deeply in Lind's direction, then turned and stepped into the snowstorm.
