Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

Moreover, the method of absorbing the aura of death within the Innate Formless Divine Art is somehow connected to the god of the underworld, Oshoon. Alphonse always felt that there must be something he couldn't understand about it.

Since I cannot stay by Sera's side to protect them for a long time, it would be better for them to practice the righteous and peaceful Xuanmen divine skill, the Azure Sky Treasure Mirror.

In short, this is a unique skill that is no less powerful than the Innate Formless Divine Skill.

Upon returning to Coldwind Territory, Alphonse's appearance truly shocked Lady Mary. Tears streamed down her face, and her voice trembled. "My poor child! What happened to you? Are you...are you still alive?"

Alphonse quickly reassured her, "Mother, I'm perfectly fine right here in front of you, aren't I?"

Mrs. Mary's trembling hand touched Alphonse's cheek, and the cold touch made her tears fall uncontrollably.

My precious son looks like a dead man who has crawled out of his grave.

"Are you telling the truth? Why is your body so cold? You absolutely can't get hurt, I can't take any more shocks."

"It's nothing," Alphonse said with a smile, reassuring his mother. "It's just that I absorbed too much demonic power, which caused a minor issue with my 'witchcraft' training. It's nothing serious, and I'll recover quickly. My teacher has already checked on me, and I'm really fine."

Lady Mary still had faith in the mysterious and powerful bard, which made her feel somewhat at ease.

Alphonse didn't plan to stay long on his return trip. He came to greet his mother and let her know so she wouldn't worry. "In a moment, I'll be heading to the Orc Kingdom of Bozak to find Tessi. This time, I'll have Mahaya and Mia come with me."

Mrs. Mary wiped away her tears. "Then you must be careful and come back safely."

"Mother, you must take care of yourself while you're at home. Have Sera keep you company whenever you have time, and go out for walks more often. Don't worry about me. I'm very powerful now. No one except a legendary-level expert could kill me. You can rest assured about that," Alphonse said.

"Don't talk about death or anything like that, it's too unlucky!" Mrs. Mary couldn't help but glare at Alphonse.

She couldn't help but sigh. Although she didn't quite understand what a legendary level powerhouse was, she knew some things. A demonic calamity had occurred in the Kingdom of Bastian, and even Mia was affected at that time, requiring a priest to come and treat her. Tessie, who had traveled to the Kingdom of Bozak, had also visited the ruins of Emerald Territory with her son and Mia, and was carrying the double-edged axe she had obtained from those ruins. She was probably already dead.

But she couldn't bring herself to say anything to stop her son.

If Alphonse hadn't gone missing, the kind-hearted Tess wouldn't have ventured alone into the orc kingdom of Bozak and encountered such an accident.

Alphonse had already caught a glimpse of Monica in his mother's room. Although she didn't dare to interrupt, her beautiful eyes were filled with worry as she looked at him.

On the mother's bed, several pieces of baby clothes were spread out, with a needle and thread nearby, indicating that they were hastily sewn.

It was clear that Monica had many needle marks on her fingers, suggesting that this rich young lady didn't seem to know much about needlework.

Since she served me last time, she seems to have settled down and decided to stay in Coldwind Territory.

Little did Alphonse know that this was Mrs. Mary giving Monica a sense of reassurance, assuring her that no matter what the future held, she would definitely have a place by Alphonse's side.

With Madame Mary's assurance, Monica was naturally willing to become Alphonse's woman.

Alphonse couldn't bring himself to tell his mother that he suspected he was infertile, since it wasn't confirmed and he didn't want to put an end to her hopes.

"Let Mia stay and talk to me for a few minutes. You can call her when you leave," said Mrs. Mary.

Alphonse could probably guess that his mother was probably telling Mia to protect herself, so he went along with her wishes.

Mia and Mrs. Mary were like mother and daughter, so naturally she wouldn't refuse.

Before leaving, Alphonse had asked Simon to prepare a batch of dry rations for the journey.

Now everything is ready. Having a spatial ring is really convenient, as I don't need to carry around big bags.

Mahaya was overjoyed to learn that she could return to her homeland and take revenge on the enemy, the Maglam centaur tribe. She had no objection to only taking her along, as her other sisters had to stay behind to take care of the centaur children, who were the hope for the Kyrgyz centaurs to rise again.

Alphonse copied down the key points of the first few levels of the Heavenly Mirror's cultivation method and gave them to Sera and Vitina, instructing them to memorize them and then destroy them, and not to pass them on to outsiders.

The route was personally guided and directed by Alphonse using his true energy.

As for the meridians and acupoints, there was no need for Alphonse to give detailed instruction; Simon could do it for him, and there were also ready-made teaching dolls in the lord's manor.

Oates, the puppet butler, couldn't stay idle at all. He was doing nothing in the castle, and Frostwind Territory didn't seem like it was going to be attacked. He couldn't help but ask Alphonse to give him a task.

Alphonse simply assigned it a task, letting it continue making white sugar. After Wayne left, the thing was put aside, the device was still there, and the principle was not difficult.

He also drew a blueprint for Oates. It wasn't some kind of magical device, just a clay pot connected to a long tube by a hose, with some simple parts inside the tube.

With Oates' alchemical magic, recreating this device wouldn't be difficult; it's just that the fruit fermenting in the jar would take some time.

But this device wasn't for brewing wine; it was for obtaining carbonated water.

During fruit fermentation, carbon dioxide is continuously produced. The constantly rotating cylinder allows the carbon dioxide to mix with water, thus producing carbonated water containing a large number of bubbles.

Then, combine the caramelized honey from roasting with chopped cilantro, and squeeze in lime juice with the peel to get a drink that tastes similar to cola.

This has been proven in the martial arts world before; Alphonse had also worked on this in his previous life.

Although it's far from being as good as modern cola and has a strong cilantro flavor, it's already quite good that it's even remotely similar to a drink in this fantasy world.

In summer, what could be more refreshing than taking a sip of ice-cold cola?

Alphonse hadn't tasted cola in a long time, so this version was at least as good as herbal tea.

As a transmigrator, Alphonse felt he had run out of ideas when it came to advancing technology. This other world had magical technology, so long-distance communication and lighting were no longer problems. Even magical trains would be running across the land in the future.

Alphonse had other ideas, but he'd have to wait until he found Tessie and had some free time. (End of Chapter)
