An inexplicable palpitation suddenly filled Blaney's brain, but before he could react, everything in front of him was engulfed by leaping flames!
Boom~ A violent explosion sounded in the silent downtown area. Lin En, who was not far away, was knocked to the ground by the aftermath of the explosion. At the same time, the prompt sound of the intelligent computer also sounded.
[Energy exhausted, overload mode ended...]
"Cough cough..." Lin En got up from the ground in a mess, and then he felt a sense of emptiness. The continuous casting of spells had drained his magic power.
Compared to Lynn who was affected, Blaney who was in the center of the explosion looked much more miserable...
After the smoke and dust dispersed, Lin En couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Blaney, who was at the center of the explosion, looked like a man. Half of his right arm holding the sword was blown off, and the exposed skin was black and red. The leather armor on his chest was broken and cracked, and rotten flesh and white bones could be vaguely seen inside...
What was even more terrifying was that the violent explosion instantly drained the surrounding oxygen, and Blaney's shrill screams lasted for more than ten seconds before suddenly stopping.
Lin En couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He had heard about the power of methane explosions on TV news, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, especially since this time he created it with his own hands.
If Blaney was not too far away from him, the trajectory of the Fireball would be easy to predict and avoid, and he would not have taken the risk of using the principle of methane explosion to lure and kill the opponent.
Thanks to the magical power that allowed him to manipulate the flow of air to a certain extent, and the fact that there was no shortage of "raw materials" in the lower city, it was not easy to reach a concentration sufficient to cause an explosion.
Lynn picked up the sword that fell on the ground and walked forward cautiously to check on Blaney's condition.
Despite such serious injuries, Brian did not die immediately. His eyes, still attached to the skin, stared at him intently, and a "cluck" sound came from his mouth. It was obvious that his vocal cords were also damaged.
"Let me give you a ride. You're welcome!" Lynn said indifferently. It was impossible for him not to hate Brian who broke into the house and forced him into a desperate situation, but he had no intention of torturing him. In this state, he probably couldn't get anything out of him.
In this case, death is the best outcome for the other party!
Lynn raised the sword and stabbed it accurately into Brian's heart. He watched the latter's body tremble violently and then return to calm.
Perhaps it was the hatred, or the influence of his original body Carl, but Lin En, who ended a life with his own hands, did not feel too much discomfort except for the psychological discomfort. Instead, the sequelae of the previous spell made his brain hurt from time to time.
After confirming that Blaney was really dead, Lynn's tense expression finally relaxed. His body suddenly swayed, and he supported himself with the sword in his right hand to avoid falling to the ground.
"071..." Lin En called out softly in his mind, but received no response. Thinking of the previous prompt tone, he immediately realized that the intelligent computer might have consumed too much energy, so it was temporarily shut down.
Lin En had no good solution for this and could only wait for 071 to replenish its energy on its own. At this time, his heart was full of confusion.
What kind of magic power does the wizard use? Why can he control chemical elements? And the strange runes that just appeared inexplicably in his mind...
What surprised Lin En the most was that under the overload mode of the intelligent brain, he could even directly convert magic power into hydrogen and oxygen.
Does that mean that magic power can also be transformed into any other element?
If it is possible, then the magic of this thing will probably far exceed his expectations.
Thinking back to what his mentor Kelu said when he met him half a year ago, Lin En couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Maybe the old wizard really didn't fool him at that time!
It is no wonder that Carl, who was originally Carl, gave up his relatively stable life with food and clothing and came to serve as a wizard apprentice...
The only pity is that the original body had too short a time to learn magic. In addition, Kelu had more than one apprentice, so the teaching time was limited and he was not able to learn more secrets.
The sequelae of excessive consumption of magic power also made Lin En very nervous. When he cast the spell for the last time, he almost thought his brain was going to explode. His body was so weak as if he had a serious illness. He urgently wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.
But Lin En knew that now was not the time to rest. Although he had dealt with two enemies, the fighting that broke out in the slums was quite noisy. He was afraid that it would not be long before the news reached the local court, and the other party would definitely send more people to arrest him.
The most urgent task is to find a place to stay as soon as possible and find a way to contact a wizard...
Lynn looked down at Blaney's body, poked it with his sword, cut open the torn cloth bag on his waist, and a small pile of coins fell out.
One Secas gold coin, seven silver coins, and more than ten copper coins.
Seeing that these well-made coins were not damaged by the explosion made Lynn feel a little better.
As the illegitimate son of a noble, I was not very wealthy. I had been away from home for half a year and occasionally had to support my tutor’s research. During this period, I could not even afford to eat...
With this windfall, he no longer had to risk returning to that shabby house. Going back now would most likely lead to death.
"Huh~" Lynn bent down to collect the coins and picked them up. Unexpectedly, he found that a parchment roll also fell out with the coins.
Under the high temperature burning, most of the words have become completely invisible, and only characters such as [Ur Town], [Moon Shining Sun], [Johnny], and [Seventeen Copper Coins] can be vaguely seen.
"The town of Ur?" Lin En muttered to himself. Out of caution, he did not destroy it on the spot, but collected the burnt parchment.
He needed someone who could answer his questions, so going to the town of Ur to look for other apprentices would probably be a good choice.
At least it was more reliable than him searching for those hidden wizards alone...
As Lin En thought about it, he reached out and grabbed Blaney's ankle, dragging him towards the stinking river not far away.
In this Middle Ages with magic and divine arts, even the dead are unreliable. If the church in this world masters the art of resurrection, then one's own information may be leaked.
The safest way is to dispose of the body as well!
(PS: Thanks to the book friends Xueran Mingfu Yangguang, Xingyuan Fengxi, and Haohan Xingkong Shining Xingchen for the 100 starting coins.) (End of this chapter)
