The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 29 Encounter (3k)

'An ambush?!'

Lin En's hair stood on end and he turned sideways without hesitation.

A dagger narrowly grazed his back.

Clang!
Lin En turned around, drew his sword, and stabbed decisively to the left rear!

puff!

The sword pierced the attacker's abdomen just as he had expected.

But the attack had not stopped yet, as there was a man on the right holding an axe and chopping towards him!
Lin En swiftly raised his right foot and kicked with all his strength!
boom!
A dull crash was heard, accompanied by the man's scream.

The man was kicked several meters away by Lin En's full-strength kick, and fell heavily to the ground.

His chest was collapsed, and it was obvious that he was breathing in less than out.

Everything happened in a flash.

It was only at this time that Lin En had the time to look at the two attackers.

The man lying on the ground was a bald young man with a strong build.

The person he stabbed was a middle-aged man with a ferocious face.

Before Lin En could ask any questions, another gust of wind suddenly came from behind.

Lynn leaped forward and dodged it easily.

Boom!

But a brown bear-like man behind him crashed into a corner of the abandoned shed next to him like a tank!
He walked out of the ruins with regret, brushed off the dust on his shoulders, his skin glowed a dark yellow, without a single scar, and he spoke slowly:

"If I say this is just a misunderstanding, would you believe me?"

Lin En didn't reply. He looked at the peculiar condition of the man's skin in front of him and thought hard.

As far as I can remember, there seems to be some kind of transformation that can achieve this effect.

The man seemed to notice his doubts and said nonchalantly:
“I have undergone the transformation of the wild bear’s bloodline. Although it is incomplete, I still have the same strength as a bear, and a skin that is tougher than iron armor.

“Introduce yourself, Cosey.

"The guy next to you is my confidant, Wayne."

Lin En turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who appeared behind the brown bear-like man at some point.

The middle-aged man had an ordinary face, except for a clear scar on his left cheek.

"I've met you..."

Lin En thought carefully for a moment and recalled that he had met this middle-aged man when he came to buy white shadow mushrooms for the fourth time.

"So I've been targeted for a long time..."

Lynn turned and looked at the man next to Wayne, Cosey.

This man was as tall and big as a bear, with extremely thick hair and a thick beard, just like the extraordinary power he possessed.

Cosey was all smiles at this moment:

“I really didn’t expect that you are actually a transcendent.

"What a shame... If I had known this earlier, it wouldn't have turned out so badly."

He knew there was someone behind Brian, so he and his men were waiting here, but he didn't expect that it was a transcendent, and the type that he hated the most, who was good at agility...

It's a pity... I have something to do later, so I can only let him go for the time being.

Cosi thought for a moment and took out five magic stones from his body:
"Now that it has happened, Your Excellency and I can be considered to have known each other for a long time.

"These five magic stones are my apology."

Lin En recognized that it was not a secondary magic stone, but a primary magic stone, equivalent to 50 secondary magic stones and 500 gold dragons.

More than all his savings combined!
Lynn didn't answer it, but just asked, "Where's Brian, did you kill him?"

"Well, I can only say that he is too stupid to say anything...

"What a pity. If he had been willing to tell me that Your Excellency was a transcendent, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened."

There was a glimmer of gloom and anger in Lynn's eyes.

He knew that if Brian told Cosi in front of him that he possessed extraordinary powers, he would not survive.

The only possible outcome was that Cosey and his group would be better prepared to ambush him.

And if that were the case...

There was some fear in Lin En's eyes, he knew about the transformation of the barbarian bear bloodline.

If successful, the transformer will be able to gain power equivalent to that of a second-class apprentice.

By then, not only will you have immense strength, but your defense will also be very strong, which is equivalent to wearing a layer of armor on your body at any time and anywhere.

You have to know that the White Crow swordsmanship does not increase much defense. If you are approached by it, you will be seriously injured if not killed.

Brian obviously knew that he had no hope of survival, but he still had some hope in his heart, so he deliberately concealed his information.

Cosi didn't know what Lin En was thinking. He tossed the magic stone in his hand:
“Your Excellency may not know that White Shadow Mushrooms have always been my business.

“There are a lot of these mushrooms in the Green Shadow Forest, but most of them are picked by the hunting teams of restaurants or businesses in the city.

"Only 6 to 70 white shadow mushrooms appear in the market here every day. Sometimes I can only see 3 to 40 in all the markets.

"You bought eight white shadow mushrooms every day without even asking for permission, and you have been doing so for more than half a month. Now that so many are gone, I thought some blind guy was stealing my business.

“I didn’t expect it to be a misunderstanding.

"Now you have lost one of your men, and I have lost two of my men... After all, this matter was caused by me, so I will compensate you with 5 more magic stones, and let's just let this matter go, okay?"

Having said that, Cosi slowly approached Lynn and pretended to hand him the magic stone.

As long as he gets closer and gives him a chance to grab Lin En's arm, the boy will be like a rag doll that will be torn into pieces under his powerful strength!

But as soon as he took a step, Lynn calmly took two steps back, keeping a safe distance.

The Barbarian Bear transformation has a fatal flaw -

After the transformation, the barbarian bear bloodline will greatly increase the weight of the transformed person.

It is normal to increase strength and weight, but the reason why the barbarian bear bloodline has increased greatly is mainly because of the skin that it brings, which is comparable to steel.

For this reason, the speed of the Barbarian Bear Bloodline Transformers is relatively the slowest among the extraordinary people.

The White Crow swordsmanship happens to be good at agility and burst, as long as he keeps a proper distance, Cosi will have no way to deal with him. 'But at the same time, I probably won't be able to deal with him either.'

Lynn whispered in her heart.

He didn't know how effective the incomplete barbarian bear transformation that Cosi mentioned would be.

But judging from the way he had just knocked down the shed, it would be difficult for him to kill him with the power he currently possessed.

Seeing him so alert, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in Kesi's eyes, but he smiled brightly, took a half step back and said,
"If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency should have discovered the needs of those nobles."

The so-called noble ones are the names given to wizards by some people in the folk.

They believe that wizards are superior to humans and are no longer two different species from mortals.

Lynn still didn't speak.

Besides, he still hadn't figured out what was going on.

Cosey didn't know what Lin En was thinking. He thought that the latter's silence meant acquiescence.

So he continued:
“To be honest with you, I have been doing this business for a long time.

“Three years ago, I was just a hunter. By chance, I met a noble steward who bought white shadow mushrooms in the city.

“I made a fortune by reselling.

“Also, I saw the need behind it. I took the initiative to find the need.

"I found that most of the nobles' knowledge about white shadow mushrooms came only from restaurants that catered to wizards.

“They basically don’t come to the market to buy White Shadow Mushrooms, and even quite a few nobles have never been to the Green Shadow Market.

“But sometimes, some of them would like to buy some white shadow mushrooms and have their chefs cook them at home…

“At this time, some people have channels, but some people don’t know where to buy. They only go to the markets they often go to, or some mission gatherings that I later learned about, to issue purchase commissions.

"And I would just appear in front of them at this time and earn a little income.

“So, three years later, this has become my business.

"During this period, there will also be people who, like me at the beginning, encounter demand by chance and come to resell white shadow mushrooms.

“But most of them only do it for one or a few days.

“It depends on how long the need they stumble upon lasts.

“These people are not smart enough, not patient enough.

“Many people just happen to sell their goods when someone buys them, but they fail to see the needs of more noble people behind them.

“Some people see it, but don’t have enough patience to find the next need.

"But you, sir, have been buying white shadow mushrooms for half a month. I guess you have found a new commission... You discovered this business."

After hearing this, Lin En basically understood the whole story.

Like him, Cauchy was also lucky enough to encounter the demand for purchasing White Shadow Mushrooms, but it was a little earlier.

Moreover, he keenly discovered the demand behind it, and by actively seeking out market needs, he has developed this sudden opportunity into a long-term business in the past few years.

He should have some subordinates roaming around the market north of Cuilin City for a long time to help him monitor the demand for purchasing white shadow mushrooms.

In addition, Lynn also understood what Cosey really cared about.

As he put it, he doesn't mind if someone occasionally comes in to buy white shadow mushrooms.

What Cauchy really cared about was that someone discovered this "business" that he monopolized.

Lynn did see the business behind this, just as Cosey had thought.

But he certainly didn't find any more demand.

All this was just because the noble man whom I had never met had been eating white shadow mushrooms for more than half a month, but he was not tired of it.

But this made Cosey in front of him mistakenly believe that he and Brian were not passers-by who would only appear briefly to make a fortune, but people who would stay for a long time and compete with him for business.

That's why they attacked him and Brian.

"But it does not matter, sir," said Cauchy again.
"If I were just an ordinary mortal, I certainly wouldn't be qualified to get involved in my business.

“But you are different. You are also a transcendent like me. I am willing to share this business with you.

"So, like I said, this is all just a misunderstanding."

After saying this, Cosi gently threw the magic stone in his hand towards Lin En.

He has temporarily given up on dealing with Lin En and plans to fool him first.

jingle——

The sword flashed, and Lin En used his sword to take the magic stones one by one. After confirming that there was no problem, he put them into his pocket.

Don’t waste the magic stone that comes for free.

Seeing his beautiful swordsmanship, Kesi's eyes suddenly brightened up. After a pause, he turned and said:

“Sir, I am tired of the white shadow mushroom business. I plan to set up a gang to expand more business and make more money.

"You have such a talent, I wonder if you are interested in joining us and making more money together!"

Lin En said nothing, but the rejection was written on his face.

Cosi, who looked like a brown bear, looked unhappy. He suddenly sighed and said in a low voice:
"Sir, have you ever thought about--

“This business that I tried so hard to hide and regarded as a forbidden delicacy, this business that almost made us fight to death, was actually just to satisfy the desire of a noble person.

"Our fight is meaningless."

Lin En smiled, but this smile was like water marks under the scorching sun, disappearing in an instant.

He didn't think Cosey would be so generous. The smile on the latter's face and his words were terribly hypocritical.

He held the sword in his hand and said calmly, word by word:

"Brian is dead, Cosey."

　I would like to ask for your monthly votes!
　　As we all know, the wizard genre is relatively niche, and fantasy is even less popular. If this book can move up a few places on the new book list, it will be of great help.

　　I would like to thank you all in advance. There will be more updates when the third round of push comes next week.

　　As for why not adding it now, the main reason is that the book has been published for 15 days and has been updated with 8 words, which is really a bit excessive. If it is more, it will easily not meet the recommendation requirements, and then the already insufficient exposure will be worse.

　　So please vote again for next month!!

　　——Ten gardens thank you!
