I am a mage, with an infinite mana bar!

Upon hearing this, the red-haired dwarf actually moved closer to Lynn, his large, flat nose twitching repeatedly. He quickly shook his head and said:

"No, there's nothing there except the faint body odor of tall people."

Seeing Lynn's strange expression, he asked, "What's wrong? Do you suspect that those corrupt cult lunatics have planted some kind of special mark on you?"

After a moment's thought, Gan Delun said, "It's not impossible. After all, I'm just an elemental mage who likes to play with fire and mud, so it's normal that I wouldn't notice."

"However, I do know someone who is very good at this kind of thing, and he should be able to help you."

Lynn asked curiously, "Who is it?"

Gander grinned. "You must be a member of the Magic Association, right? And you're from Colin Town, so you must know him too."

"Don't let that old guy's perpetually sleepy appearance fool you; I, for one, can't fathom his true strength..."

Upon hearing this, a figure with white hair and beard suddenly appeared in Lynn's mind, dressed in a loose blue robe.

"Could it be that you're referring to Mr. Adolf?"

Seeing Gan Delun nod, Lynn's eyes widened immediately.

He had always believed that Aldolf, Luke, and Barton were all appointed as administrators of the Colin Town Magic Association because of the constraints imposed by the Three Towers Alliance.

The three of them should all be considered to be senior mages.

Judging from what Gan Delun said, does this old man's strength far surpass that of the other two?

"In short, once your magic improves further, you should be able to perceive those nauseating smells. They are things that run counter to the philosophy of the Seven Towers of Mages and are incomprehensible to normal people."

Gan Delun's expression was very serious. After speaking, he remembered his earlier question and hurriedly asked Lynn:

"Kid, what exactly is this urgent matter you mentioned?"

Lynn said, "It's a long story. My two friends were tricked by members of the Corruption Cult and were on their way to Colin Town to find a forest dwarf. I suspect that the dwarf has been corrupted and is dangerous."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Gan Delun's eyes widened, and he exclaimed:

"Then why bother riding in this slow carriage?"

He then ordered the driver to stop the car and said to Lynn, "Come with me."

After the two got out of the car, he immediately took out the stone whistle he had used before, and Lynn then understood what he meant.

The clay bull took shape amidst the rumbling and shaking of the earth.

Although Gan Delun was only up to Lynn's waist, he had incredible strength. He scooped Lynn up and threw him onto the cow's back.

"Hold on tight, my old buddy's got some serious momentum, watch out or he might throw you off!"

After saying that, he patted the bull's back, and the mud bull twisted its head with long horns, its strong body moving slowly, its four hooves alternating, and its speed gradually created the sound of wind.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage parked by the roadside was left behind by them. The coachman, holding a few silver coins in his hand, stared dumbfounded as the two drove away.

This speed was indeed much faster than taking a carriage, but along the way, Lynn neither spotted the Frey family carriage engraved with the Demon Eagle emblem, nor did he see the standard rental carriages commonly seen in Roan City.

"It seems they didn't have much trouble on the way and have probably already entered town, which makes them even harder to find..."

He had thought that with only one road between Luo'an City and Kelin Town available for the next few days, and with the constant flow of merchant vehicles, the road would be somewhat congested, but unfortunately he still couldn't make it.

"Don't panic, kid. Those corrupt cultists haven't dared to operate in towns because they're afraid we senior spellcasters will notice."

"If that dwarf you're talking about really smells of decay, I can smell it as long as I'm not too far away."

At this point, Gan Delun's face darkened, and he said in a serious tone:

"However, those guys are quite troublesome. They have a fanatical obsession with life, and if they were to break out in a town, they could kill quite a few people..."

Lynn frowned as well. He didn't know the background of the dark elf Rigel he had encountered before, but the halfling Harold and Becky were very strange.

Harold, as the vice president of the Adventurers' Guild in Colin Town, spent all his time in Colin Town, but until last night, the corrupting power hidden within him remained undetected.

Like him, Becky was a regular in the high society of Loan City, a renowned singer, and also connected with the corrupt cult.

The corrupting power within them was clearly more concealed, having remained hidden from the experienced mages guarding the two regions...

This made Lynn think that the mysterious power possessed by the Corruption Cult might have evolved, and the information that Gandrun and the others had was no longer sufficient to deal with similar situations.

……

In Colin, Eli carefully jumped down from the carriage, following Charlotte's hand.

To keep a low profile, she did not ride in the Frey family's carriage, but instead rented one at the rental station.

"Charlotte, don't you really think that vampire named Carlisle would be a better fit?" She blinked her emerald green eyes at her friend.

Following the party last week, she had been investigating Carlisle Reid, on the advice of her brothers Leon and Lynn, only to be interrupted by Charlotte with the vague reason that "he's not quite right for us."

Until yesterday, when he met the singer Becky at a social gathering, he heard from her about a forest dwarf who was exceptionally talented in nature magic. Eli hurriedly found Charlotte and invited her to come and meet this prospective teammate.

Charlotte shook her head expressionlessly when she heard Eli's question.

"Demonic wolves are extremely sensitive to blood, and the smell of blood magic could cause me to lose control."

Eli was a little disappointed; she had thought she could actually be teammates with a rare vampire, but she quickly cheered up.

"This forest dwarf is sure to suit your taste. You're both novice druids, so you'll definitely get along well," she said happily.

Charlotte said with some helplessness, "Elijah, not all spellcasters who master nature magic are druids. Only those who draw power from their bloodline and are closely connected to nature are considered druids."

She emphasized, "This is common sense that beginners need to know. Didn't Mr. Barton teach you that?"

Eli immediately looked away guiltily, glancing at a wooden cabin hidden in the woods ahead on the muddy path, and asked curiously:

"I didn't expect there to be a place like this near Colin Town. Did she specifically choose to live in the wild to study nature magic?"

According to the address Becky gave her, the place is located northeast of Colin Town, very close to the Coan River.

They left the main road and walked along a side road for more than an hour before arriving.

Recently, the river has been flooded, and with the rain, the road is very difficult to walk on. They had no choice but to get off the carriage and walk the last part of the road.

From afar, Eli spotted a short figure with dark brown hair and greenish skin.

That was the forest dwarf Tana Turan they were going to visit.
