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.

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 jumped into his mind - Cripple Loud! No matter where Johnny and White Dove were, as long as they were still planning to go to the wizard land, they would definitely come to Harbor Town and find a way to contact Cripple Loud.

Then I just need to find this person first! Lin En stood up and looked at the towering city wall in the distance. Now there was only one question left, how could I 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...

(PS: I'll ask for anything for the new book.) (End of this chapter)
