The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 30 Green Shadow
"Brian? That young man."

Cosey frowned, puzzled.

“It’s just an insignificant mortal, isn’t it?

"And the person who did this has been killed by you, and I have apologized to you...

"I understand. If you still feel that I'm not sorry enough, as long as you are willing to come and help me, you can have as many magic stones as you want."

Cosi smiled brightly, and the confusion on his face did not seem fake.

In his opinion, Brian was just a helper hired by Lynn. If he died, he died. He had already apologized and made compensation.

Those 5 magic stones are already enough to give me face.

If you were to be more precise, Cauchy felt that out of the 5 magic stones, Brian only had 1%, and the remaining 99% were compensation for Lynn's damaged face.

Lynn did not respond. He knew that responding was useless as there was a gap between their concepts.

Moreover, he never believed Cosey's lies from beginning to end.

There was only a slight possibility that he and Brian were here to steal their business, but Cosey killed them without hesitation.

Since Cosi values ​​this business so much, would he really be so generous and give it away so easily?
Sighing and looking at the unresponsive Lin, Kesi saw that it was getting late, and finally said:
"If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time. There is a lot of business to be done and a lot of money to be made in this Cuiying Market.

"I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned and left with Wayne.

……

"Boss, are you just going to let that Lin En go?"

"Only temporarily." Cosi sneered, with no concealment of the malice in his eyes.

"My business is not that easy to deal with, but I have more important things to do right now. I can't let anything else happen at this juncture!"

Wayne still found it a little strange. If he didn't intend to let Lin En go, why would he give him those magic stones?

But he did not refute. In fact, Cosi had been acting a little strange since yesterday.

"Let's go, that group of people are still waiting for us." Cosey continued, striding forward.

"If everything goes well, not only will my strength be greatly enhanced, but you will also be able to get rid of your weak mortal identity and gain extraordinary power. Wouldn't it be easier to deal with that person then?"

Wayne continued to nod. He actually wanted to say that those people were a little strange, but in the end he remained silent.

He had tried to persuade him yesterday, but Cosi had already made his decision and he could only accept it.

Yesterday afternoon, a group of people suddenly came to see Cosey.

Wayne didn't know what they talked about specifically.

But it didn't take long for Cosi to say that he had reached a deal with those people...

But Cosi was obviously a suspicious person by nature. He had been with him for two years and had never seen him so straightforward. He always felt that something was wrong.

It's a pity that he has no right to object.

Moreover, the promises made by Cauchy were indeed touching.

"Possessing extraordinary powers and breaking away from the identity of a mortal..."

Wayne was looking forward to it.

……

After half an hour.

Cosi brought Wayne to the outside of the Green Shadow Forest.

Wayne was carrying a heavy backpack full of white shadow mushrooms.

After a while, several figures walked out of the dark forest.

They have different looks and figures, but the only thing that is strikingly similar is that their eyes are shrouded in a layer of misty green.

Wayne reflexively looked away, feeling inexplicably frightened.

"Have you brought all the white shadow mushrooms?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

The voice seemed to have some kind of magic, and Wayne calmed down a little.

He looked up and caught a glimpse of a man in black wizard robes.

The man's face was hidden under the hood, with only two pairs of pupils emitting a faint green light.

The hazy green is intoxicating.

"They're all in the basket, 37 in total." Wayne heard Cosey answer.

"Dor." The leading man gave the order.

A young man with a gentle face walked out from behind the man and reached out to grab the backpack on his back.

Next to the young man was a thin boy with curly hair, and it was Ant.

"You're going to get mushrooms without paying anything?"

Wayne suddenly came to his senses, and subconsciously turned his head to glance at the boss Cosi next to him.

Then, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured down on my heart, and I was shocked.
At some point, a green color appeared in Cosi's eyes that was exactly the same as that of the mysterious people in front of him, but it was even thinner.

"Don't be nervous, my friend." The man in black robe whispered.

Wayne turned his head and suddenly met the man's green eyes.

His whole body stiffened, and then slowly relaxed, with green gradually appearing in his eyes.

At this moment, Wayne vaguely felt a complex and huge thing, and the man in black robe in front of him was a part of it. "Dor, the matter of the white shadow mushrooms is left to you. Remember to collect as many white shadow mushrooms as possible. The great existence needs them..."

"Okay, Master Green Shadow."

There seemed to be a vague sound, and the young man next to him nodded in response.

After a while, Wayne 'woke up'.

He looked at the man in black robe calmly, without any confusion in his heart.

If you look closely, you can see that many green eyes have lit up in the dim forest behind the man in black robe.

Some of them were of human origin, and some were of wild beasts.

At this time, they gathered together, like will-o'-the-wisp fire, floating in the forest.

……

……

Black Ditch Lane.

A hidden roadside spot.

Lynn has been here for a long time.

Outside a shed not far in front of him, a woman was looking around from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

Next to her, there was a little boy who was helping the woman with chores.

pat.

pat-

In Lin's hand, he gently tossed the five primary magic stones that Cosi gave him as compensation for Brian's death, which were equivalent to 5 gold dragons.

He remembered that in order to gain his trust, Brian had said to him honestly:

"My lord, please rest assured that I have a beloved wife and a lovely son. All my efforts are for them, and you know where they live, so I will never betray you, my lord."

Now that I think about it, the reason why Brian didn't reveal any information about himself to Cosey and the others was probably because he had certain expectations on him.

It could be revenge, or it could be...the helpless wife and children.

'No matter what, we have to face this.'

Lynn put away the magic stone, took a deep breath, and strode towards Brian's wife and daughter.

"Sir... why are you here?"

The woman soon noticed him, was startled at first, and then looked behind him.

After discovering that Lin En was alone, he seemed to understand something and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Brian is dead," Lynn said.

He thought the woman would collapse and scream...

But the woman just shed tears silently, took the child beside her into her arms, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and answered with a sob:
“I… understand… sir.

"Brian told me that one day he might not be able to come back... I understand that."

"Brian has already told his wife and children that he might die..."

Lin En was silent. He still remembered the scene when he first approached Brian.

After hearing his request, the young man had a complicated expression on his face, but he quickly made a decision.

He never thought that in such a short period of time, Brian had actually prepared himself for possible death.

In my previous life, I stayed in a peaceful environment for too long, and the original owner also stayed in the mountains, both of us were like greenhouse flowers.

However, these low-level people in front of us are inconspicuous weeds, but they have much more vigorous vitality.

Without saying much, Lynn looked around carefully and prepared to pay.

Because of Brian's death, Cosi gave him 5 magic stones, equivalent to 500 gold dragons.

But Lynn simply took out the money that was originally intended for Brian, as well as some change that he had on him, and handed them to the woman in front of him.

I didn't count it carefully, but it should be equivalent to Brian's family's income for more than ten years, which is enough for the mother in front of me to raise her son.

Giving more money would only bring disaster.

And...Lin En said to himself calmly:

'I can't take care of them forever.'

"The murderer who killed Brian won't live long." Lynn said calmly, holding the woman's hand and stuffing the coin into her.

Cosey must die.

Lin En understood that as long as he still planned to do the white shadow mushroom business, Cosi would definitely come to cause trouble for him again!

And give up the white shadow mushroom business?

Why?
Moreover, even if he didn't do the white shadow mushroom business, Cosi might not let him go.

What's more, there is Brian...

After finally patting the boy's head, Lynn turned and left without saying anything further.

These people living at the bottom of society know how to live safely better than he does.
