From Alchemy Apprentice to All-Powerful God King

With that shout, everyone turned their attention to Flynn.

"No...no...it can't be, there must be some mistake!"

At this moment, he stood there, completely bewildered by the situation.

Matthew, who was bound, was gritting his teeth.

"It really was you! Why did you frame me! Just because I didn't give you the recipe for the swarm of exploding bugs, you wanted to kill my friend and then pin the blame on me?!"

"Flynn! You beast!"

Matthew roared at the top of his lungs, and instantly all eyes were on the two of them.

Even Lucia was a little confused. According to the previous analysis, the murderer should be Matthew, but with the investigation of the scene, the collection of evidence, and the important clues that had just come in, things were not right.

This also points to Flynn, the mage who has always been by their side!

Is this what they call "blind spots under the lamp"? Everyone had only one thought at that moment.

Not only him, but even Matthew, the person in question, didn't expect that a scapegoat would appear.

Last night, he spent the whole night here dealing with the traces, and he deliberately put the pieces of armor back.

He used the Windblade Insect and the Greatsword to create traces of a fight, erasing all traces of the explosion that day.

He did want to find a scapegoat, but the armor in Flynn's Alchemy Workshop had nothing to do with him, because Leon's armor and greatsword were lying quietly in his Ring.

Someone is framing him.

Matthew looked around and his gaze met that of the missionary Seth.

The latter gave him a faint, almost imperceptible smile that vanished in an instant, and Matthew continued to play dumb.

"Someone is definitely framing me, Matthew, don't make false accusations!"

Seeing that the knights around him were gradually surrounding him, Flynn became anxious and wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only shift the blame back to Flynn.

Matthew ignored him and looked at Lucia instead.

"Now that we have all the witnesses and evidence, what are you waiting for if you don't release me and go arrest him?"

At the same time, he took out the demonic insect from the Ring, which he had secretly recorded Flynn's conversation with the boss at the jade gambling site.

Clear voices rang out in the woods.

"What does the Knights' Guild's campaign have to do with your Alchemy Firm?"

"Don't worry about that. I'll arrange for the people to get in. You just need to prepare the money..."

The sound abruptly stopped there; of course, Matthew had manipulated it a bit, cutting off some parts of the beginning and end.

But this recording completely cut off any possibility of explanation for Flynn, who stared at Matthew with a grim expression, never expecting that he would even have the recording from that night.

Even if he said that this matter and Leon's are two different things, probably no one would believe him.

The key point is that he didn't expect Matthew to be able to do things so meticulously.

"Matthew, since that's how you want it to be, then let's die together!"

After saying that, Flynn took out a large number of disposable magic insects and a few swarming insects that he had asked Matthew for last time, activated them all at once, and threw them around.

"Be careful!"

"He's going to fight to the death!"

Instantly, both the knights and the surrounding ability users all unleashed their magic, forming a barrier in front of them, while simultaneously retreating rapidly.

They had become very familiar with the power of the swarming insects over the past few days. Even Matthew himself quickly retreated. The explosion of so many insects at once could definitely kill a first-tier ability user.

At this moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds: Flynn was truly ruthless; no wonder he dared to kill a knight.

Lucia and Joel, who knew nothing about swarming bugs, thought they were just ordinary exploding bugs and didn't even lift their feet.

Before Matthew and the others could warn them, they were engulfed by the thick smoke from the explosion.

A series of explosions instantly ignited the surrounding dense forest, sending flames soaring into the sky.

However, the next moment, magic surged within the thick smoke, and several fierce gusts of wind swept out from it, snapping the surrounding trees in half and causing them to collapse one after another.

Only when the smoke and dust cleared did the two disheveled figures gradually come into view.

As for Flynn, he has long since disappeared.

Lucia was covered in dust, and even a section of her eyebrow was burned off. She raised her hand to extinguish the flames at the end of her hair, her face full of anger.

Joel wasn't in much better shape; half of his once striking blond hair had been burned off.

This was only because he saved the situation in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Looking at the empty ruins in front of her, Lucia could no longer contain her anger and roared.

"Everyone, chase after them!"

At the same time, magic erupted from within, spreading outwards and extinguishing the surrounding flames.

It then surged upwards, appearing suspended in mid-air above the dense forest. After estimating its approximate location, it plunged headfirst down, the sound of trees snapping echoing everywhere.

At Joel's prompting, all the ability users below mobilized and chased after Flynn along his escape route.

Gareth also rallied his knights and chased after Flynn.

For a moment, only Matthew and Seth remained at the scene.

After a long silence, perhaps to make sure everyone else had gone far away, Seth finally spoke up.

"Matthew, born in Val Town, lost both his parents at a young age. Three years ago, he entered the Alchemy Workshop of the Hunter's Guild as an apprentice and only passed the examination half a month ago to become an Alchemist."

"I'm curious, when did you become an ability user? Your magic power is actually no weaker than that of a second-tier ability user."

Seth practically revealed his entire family background, clearly indicating that he knew everything about Matthew except for the mole on his body.

"I'm also curious why you're helping me? Whose side are you on?"

Matthew didn't answer him, but instead asked his own question. Now that it was just the two of them, there was no need to beat around the bush.

Seth didn't answer him, but pointed behind him, gesturing for him to turn around and look.

Seeing this, Matthew turned around and found that the goddess Elena had appeared behind him without making a sound.

"Is it you?"

You guessed right!

Elena suddenly reached out and tapped Matthew's nose, then walked past him to Seth, who had his right hand in front of his chest, his left hand behind his back, and knelt on one knee.

"Get up, you did a good job."

"It's all for the goddess!"

Looking at the scene before him, Matthew realized that all of this was actually part of the goddess's scheme, but there was still one question he didn't understand.

If the armor hadn't been discovered at the end, Flynn wouldn't have become a scapegoat; at most, he would have been a suspect.

Why are you helping me?

Hearing Matthew's question, Elena turned around and slowly walked closer to him, placing her hands behind her back, leaning forward, and still smiling.

"Because... I feel that you are more useful than anyone else, especially to me."

Before Matthew could ask any further questions, Elena took out a token and stuffed it into his hand.

"Here's a tip: leave Val Town as soon as possible, take the token to the Empire, and just give me your name when you go to the Knights' Guild."

"Simply put, it means leaving here for the Empire, joining the Knights, and working for the Goddess."

Seth also spoke up to explain, fearing that Matthew might not understand the goddess's meaning.

As Matthew got closer to Elena, he no longer had time to analyze their words and intentions.

Because in his mind, at this moment, the Chronicles of Another World were turning pages frantically.

Three different labels pop up one after another with prompts.
