I made science magic

After all, the laws of the Federation cannot apply to other worlds...

Lin En secretly made up his mind that after he became a formal wizard and could use magic freely, he would study whether he could transform this artificial idiot.

Just as Lin En was thinking, a patch of star-like fire appeared on the endless water in the distance. When he got closer, a towering city wall appeared in front of him. The fire he had seen before was just a bonfire on the battlements used for lighting.

After floating on the water for a day, Lin En finally saw something different. He was a little excited, but he did not approach it rashly. Instead, he decided to go ashore nearby and explore what this place was tomorrow.

The previous battle outside the town of Ur caused quite a stir, but not all the people were wiped out, so the news may have spread.

Lin En had no doubt that the entire Nordland Territory was under full martial law. His hair color, age, and body shape were all very obvious signs. If he didn't disguise himself, he would be arrested as soon as he entered.

Realizing this, Lynn changed his posture from the effortless backstroke to the less skilled dog paddle, preparing to go ashore to avoid the attack first.

At this moment, something heavy fell from the towering city wall in front, accompanied by a dull sound, a splash of water, and then the ripples on the water surface gradually expanded, as if something was struggling under the water.

"People?" Lin En's pupils shrank slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he swam over very quickly.

Although this looked like a murder scene, he just needed someone to answer some questions.

Water splashed everywhere, and the clear lake surface had already been dyed blood red.

Lin En became more and more certain of his previous guess. After he got close, but before he could rescue him, a hand stretched out from the bottom of the lake and pulled him down with all its might.

This is a common stress response of drowning people, and sometimes they will even drag the rescuer into the water. Fortunately, Lynn did not need to worry about oxygen, so he grabbed the other person's collar and swam to the shore.

……

An hour later, a blazing fire gradually started in a natural cave outside the city, providing illumination and dispelling the chill of the night.

While drying the clothes, Lin En turned around and looked at the boy he had "rescued".

This was a young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, with an ordinary face and hair color very similar to his own. What made Lin En sigh was that there was a deep wound on the other person's chest, probably because someone had stabbed his heart with a dagger.

If he had known this would happen, he would have just left it alone. After all the effort, he actually rescued a body.

Lin En shook his head helplessly, but still searched the corpse as usual. After all, he looked like a nobleman, so who knows, he might find some good stuff.

Three gold coins, more than ten silver coins, several exquisite ornaments and a water-soaked book with no name on the cover. These were all the possessions of the young man in front of him.

For a nobleman, this amount was undoubtedly a bit shabby, but for Lin En it was already a windfall.

You should know that in the Sekas Empire, one copper coin can buy a piece of black bread, which can provide a meal with water.

The exchange rate between silver coins and copper coins is uncertain, generally fluctuating around 1:80, while the exchange rate between gold and silver is over , and can be even higher if there is a war.

After all, gold is considered a rare element in the entire universe, and its reserves are very limited...

However, since these things are still there, we can basically rule out the possibility of murder for ordinary money.

Lin En tossed the coins in his hand. He was not a professional detective, but after taking a close look at the wound on the corpse's chest, his expression suddenly paused. Then he clenched his right hand to simulate holding a dagger and tried to stab his own chest at a similar angle.

The angle of the wound is exactly the same...

Is this... suicide?

Lin En immediately realized this possibility. After thinking about it, he reached out and picked up the book he had missed. He gently lifted the water-soaked pages with his fingernails. The words on it were very sloppy, but the pen was very deep, and the handwriting looked like it was engraved.

[Maybe without me, everything will be fine...]

Chapter 23 Diary of a Useless Person

[Training, training again... I can't do it no matter how many times I try. There's no way I can pass the selection...]

[Why are you looking at me with such expectation? Father...]

[It’s that time again, July of the 824th year of the Holy Calendar, the third knight selection…]

[Fighting Tiral, lost in 27 seconds, once again... Do you hate me, Ivana? I understand how you feel. A useless person robbed you of the opportunity that belonged to you...]

[It would be nice if it could be the other way around, why not?]

[Perhaps I shouldn’t exist...]

Time passed bit by bit, and the bonfire in the cave slowly burned out after the last bit of dry firewood was used up.

The sudden darkness interrupted Lin's thoughts. He waved his hand, and the branches and fallen leaves piled on the side floated up by themselves and filled the pile of wood that was sparkling with sparks.

The next moment, the red flames jumped up again, and Lin En flipped through the diary in his hand again.

No, in fact, the word diary may not be an appropriate description.

This is an ordinary aristocratic boy with no extraordinary talent. He recorded all his cowardice, inferiority, resentment and pain that he could not tell to outsiders on the pages of paper.

"Lot Pedro!" Lynn read out the boy's name.

This is undoubtedly a case of being driven crazy by too many expectations.

But what he saw was a little more complicated than that.

Lot's father was a baron of the Sekas Empire, but he was a long-deceased landless nobleman with an empty title. On weekdays, he could only rely on constantly squandering his savings to barely maintain the dignity of a noble.

Like every parent who wants his son to be successful, Baron Pedro placed all his hopes for reviving the family on his son.

Noblemen like them, if they can pass the knight test before the age of twenty and have firm faith, will be qualified to become a priest or a clergyman, which is undoubtedly the best way to change the family's fate.

Because of this, Lot received the most rigorous training since childhood, with the goal of passing the knight examination and becoming a clergyman of the Holy See.

Baron Pedro even spent a large sum of money to hire official knights to hone Lotte's combat skills.

However, Lotte's talent was not that good, and even hard training was of no avail.

There are only three vacancies for priests and high priests in the entire Nordland Territory each year, but there are countless people who hold the same idea. Some of them are more hardworking, more talented, and even more powerful than Lot!

Therefore, since he started taking the test at the age of sixteen, he encountered nothing but disappointment again and again. Under the blow of his family's expectations and reality, Lotte gradually became dull, taciturn, and extremely introverted.

His sister Ivina is another counterexample. She has a good talent and has mastered a good swordsmanship just by repeatedly watching Lot's daily sparring with the official knights.

However, for Baron Pedro, the talent Ivana showed was just a small surprise.

In the Sekas Empire, there were precedents of women being nobles, but those were all when there was no other choice and the male lineage had expired. Otherwise, daughters were usually used as tools for political marriages to expand the family's influence.

It is not worth spending a lot of resources on training.

After all, the continuation of bloodline is the foundation of the nobility. If a woman is chosen as the heir, all the wealth accumulated by the family will be at risk of being swallowed up and disappeared.

Unable to bear the pressure and expectations, Lotte probably planned to use his death to force Baron Pedro to make a choice.

In Lynn's opinion, Lott's choice was undoubtedly a stupid move.

He also had some understanding of the nature of these nobles. Judging from the description of Baron Pedro in the diary, after learning of Lotte's death, the other party would only consider whether he could give birth to a second son, or adopt an excellent heir from a side branch.

Ivana will always be the last option.

Illegitimate children like my predecessor Carl are even more miserable. Unless the family is completely extinct, they will get nothing...

A diary of more than a hundred pages soon turned to the last page. Lin En was somewhat touched by the experience of this noble boy, but what really concerned him was a word mentioned in the diary.

"Useless?" Lin En murmured to himself. He thought he would never hear this name again after arriving in another world.

After all, here even a farmer working the fields has value to be exploited.

Lin En let out a breath slowly, reorganized his messy thoughts, turned his head and looked at Lot's body. Since he had accepted the other party's relics, he should bury the person properly later.

"071, how much energy reserves are left now?" Lin En asked in his mind.

[Remaining energy is 12.3%. Energy concentration is detected to be decreasing. It is expected that energy reserve will increase by 1% every ten hours.]

Sure enough...Lin En glanced at the slightly bright sky and was not surprised.

Just as he guessed, Sundays would affect the activity of magic power. After a night of rest, the physical strength and magic power consumed in the previous battle had almost recovered.

In Lot's diary, Lin En also obtained a very important piece of information - he was in the port town of Nordland!

This means that the hidden underground river in the castle actually flows directly to the Sea of ​​Misty Sea!

It’s a pity that in order to deal with Bishop Anruk, he had already sent away Johnny and the white dove who were in the way.

Lin En couldn't tell where the two witches had drifted to. If they were good swimmers, they could have landed anywhere instead of drifting with the current like him and slowly learning to swim.

It is not easy to find two living people in the entire Nordland when communications are lost.

How to avoid the Vatican's tracking is also a big problem.

Lin En pondered for a long time, and a name suddenly popped into his mind - Cripple Loud!

No matter where Johnny and White Dove are, as long as they are ready to go to the wizarding land, they will definitely come to Harbor Town and find a way to contact Lame Lord.

Then all you need to do is find this person first!

Lin En stood up and looked at the towering city walls in the distance. Now there was only one question left: how could he enter the harbor town safely.

"071, get me some information on disguise and cross-dressing techniques. It would be best if it can be done with simple materials!"

Lin En glanced at Lotte, whose figure and hair color were very similar to his own. Perhaps he could temporarily borrow his identity to deceive the guards of Harbor Town.

If he remembered correctly, in addition to the casual disguise technique, there was also a spell in "Basic Magic General" that could deal with this situation...

Chapter 24 [Ship Gang] and [Harbor Town]

The port town is located to the east of the entire Sekas Empire and is famous for being close to the vast Misty Sea.

Due to the influence of the moon Sunday, the whirlpool called the Eye of Death calmed down briefly, and countless merchant ships loaded with spices and minerals were able to transport them directly to Viknir, the capital of the Sekas Empire, by sea and land.

This is also the busiest time of the year for the port.

However, the situation this year is somewhat different. In order to capture the devil followers who sneaked into Nordland and created chaos, an additional checkpoint was added at the entrance of the harbor town. The caravans coming and going had to line up in long queues and be inspected amid complaints.

"There should be no problem, right?" Lin En, who had done a good job of disguising himself, was a little nervous. He kept adjusting the tone of his voice, trying to keep it consistent with the struggles and shouts he heard during the rescue last night.

This is not a difficult thing to do.

The essence of sound is nothing more than the vibration of the eardrum caused by the wave source propagating through the air and other media and reaching the ear. 071 has already recorded the characteristics of Lotte's sound, and all he needs to do is imitate it.

And then it’s time to test your mentality…

With the most complicated feelings, Lin En walked through the long line of caravans in the most natural manner. After entering the sentry post, he did not stop. He nodded to the guards and stepped into the harbor town.

Several guards on duty hesitated for a moment but did not dare to intercept them.

"Who was that person who just passed by?" Pastor Adrian, who was stationed at the checkpoint, noticed Lin En's leaving figure and asked with a frown.
