How can you become stronger if you don't build up bonds?

"Your Highness, according to my investigation, the large-scale blood plague ten years ago was indeed contained by a batch of suddenly appearing effective herbs."

One morning, the herbs were piled up on the road near the south gate, and it remains unclear who left them there.

Inside the town government office, Depp was giving a report to Lin Wei.

Lin Wei nodded: "Understood."

"Your Highness, do you know the truth about this matter?" Depp asked, as if he could tell that Lin Wei was asking him for confirmation.

"Well, it's not a bad thing. There's no need to investigate further."

"Yes."

"I will leave Scar Town in about two hours, and I will leave the reconstruction of the surrounding villages entirely to you."

"Your Highness, I will certainly not disappoint you!"

"I'll consider Hauge's matter as an act of atonement, and His Majesty won't punish you."

"I know I was wrong, and I will definitely learn from this incident in the future."

"When you come to Fengdu next time to report on your work, remember to come and find me at the Duke's Mansion."

"Your Highness, what is this...?" Depp asked, somewhat confused.

"I have all sorts of magic manuals for taming beasts. Don't be tempted by these material things anymore."

"ah..."

Depp was completely taken aback by Lin Wei's meaning. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Your Highness, how can this sinful subject, Depp, possibly deserve such a favor..."

"Alright, enough with the formalities. Let's go see Hauge one last time. I'll take him directly to Fengdu later."

……

After leaving the town government office, Lin Wei went directly to find Duo Si, who was helping out in the village to the east.

"Lin...no, Your Highness, are you well..."

This was Lin Wei's first meeting with Duo Si after his identity was exposed. She appeared both reserved and shy, unsure of what to do with her arms, and her greeting was quite strange.

"Unless you're a noble prince or princess, what makes you think your fortune can withstand the ravages of gambling addiction? Do you even understand these things?"

Every time Doss thought of those words she had once said, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

He really is...

"Okay, okay, we don't play these games between friends."

Lin Wei stepped forward and took her arm, which seemed to have nowhere to go, and walked slowly alongside her, just like last time.

Seeing that Lin Wei's posture was exactly the same as the "Lin Alberta" of the past, Doss subconsciously showed a hint of joy, but soon, she thought of something else, and her expression dimmed again.

She didn't know how to start the conversation, so she could only wait for Lin Wei to ask the question first.

"When I return to Fengdu this time, I will recommend you to the government department in the name of Duke Eugene to participate in the new round of selection for the Governor of Wallis."

"Oh, so soon..." Doss wasn't very resistant, just a little nervous.

"Just believe in yourself."

"Um..."

Seeing that Doss still didn't seem inclined to start a conversation, Lin Wei spoke again:

"Does Doss still want to become a magician?"

"A magician...? But I'm already 20 years old, long past the age of laying a solid foundation..." Doss said, her head drooping.

"My senses tell me that you have a good talent for spellcasting. Besides, the idea of ​​laying a foundation is too general. As long as you can find the direction that suits you best, it's not a big deal if you are ten years behind."

"Really?!" Lin Wei's words made Doss suddenly raise her head.

"When the time comes, come to Fengdu and find a suitable path for yourself as a spellcaster. I'll help you too."

"Lin, thank you—"

After receiving Lin Wei's guidance, Doss's mood improved significantly, and she began to share the trivial daily life in Scar Town with Lin Wei again, just like before.

"By the way, Doss, did you have any dealings with Hauge's mother, that is, Mrs. Meyer?"

To avoid putting Depp in a difficult position, Lin Wei took the initiative to take charge of informing Mrs. Mayer.

The hero's widow has long since separated from her only son, Hauge, and currently lives alone in Aba Town, not far from Ska Town.

Lin Wei had learned from Depp that Mrs. Mayer, like her husband Fugen, was a very noble person.

"Mrs. Mayer definitely knows me. She taught me to read during the demonic calamity when I was a child, and she even spoke to me when she came to sweep the grave two months ago."

"Oh, I see. Would you like to come with me to her place?"

"Is it to inform... Hauge about it...?" Doss had already guessed.

"Yes, these are things we have to face eventually."

"I'll go."

Even knowing that she was going to deliver the devastating news of her father's passing to his son, Doss did not refuse.

Half an hour later, over the village west of Aba Town.

The two very old wooden houses below are where Mrs. Mayer lived.

"Why are you living in such a dilapidated house?" Lin Wei frowned.

"It was probably Mrs. Meyer's own request; when the family divided the property, she only took some of Lord Fugen's clothes and a portrait with her."

Who is this little boy?

In the courtyard, Maye, dressed in all black, was reading a storybook to a blind little boy.

"It seems to be an orphan adopted by Mrs. Meyer, around ten years old." Doss had done her homework thoroughly.

Seeing this, Lin Wei sighed silently in his heart.

Why would such a noble couple produce a descendant like Hauge?

Lin Wei found it increasingly difficult to accept.

Lin Wei was about to call for Feng Liu to land when Duo Si suddenly tugged at his sleeve and pointed downwards:

"Lin, look what that is?!"

Lin Wei stared intently: "Is this... telekinesis?"

Just now, the rocks and soil around Maye and the little boy suddenly started to float.

Lin Wei's strong perception allowed him to quickly determine that there was no trace of qi element gathering in that area.

Lin Wei was well aware that Mrs. Meyer did not possess extraordinary talent.

That means it can only be the little boy controlling it.

Telekinesis is a small category in the entire magical world, but it is slightly more common than things like beast taming, illusion, and puppetry.

It's certainly a good thing that this little boy has a talent for telekinesis, but there's one thing that Lin Wei is very concerned about.

He's blind!

How can a blind person use telekinesis?

This is no longer a question of suitability, but rather that it is truly dangerous for blind people to use telekinesis!

Blind people are already unable to accurately control their surroundings, and when combined with telekinesis, they can easily injure others if they are not careful.

Is Mrs. Mayer trying to groom him?

Lin Wei did not see any intention from Maye to stop him; on the contrary, she seemed to be encouraging the little boy to properly control his mental power.

"Lin, shouldn't blind people be able to use telekinesis?" Doss was very clever and guessed the answer from Lin Wei's expression.

"It's not that absolute, let's go down and find out first."

Lin Wei had a vague premonition that this little boy's talent was probably extraordinary.
