As the green fluorescence gradually faded, the figures of the three experts emerged from the ice, with wet water stains still on their clothes, as if telling of the previous thrill.

Linus slowly withdrew his hands, and the fatigue in his eyes was like a faint shadow. The people around him gathered around with caution and respect, and Linus's eyes flashed with an indescribable complex emotion.

This scene was exactly the same as the countless times he remembered. Whenever his abilities were displayed to the world, people would become cautious and even a little restrained in front of him.

He is more accustomed to living in harmony with the world as a wanderer. This identity gives him freedom, allowing him to stay away from the hustle and bustle and immerse himself in his own natural way.

Although each display of ability will briefly win people's admiration and awe, it is often followed by identity barriers and the pressure of expectations.

"Never mind. Soon these people will forget all this. Why should I care about their behavior? Perhaps I am too persistent. My practice is still not up to par."

Linus sighed inwardly and regained his composure.

"It's okay now, they will wake up soon." His voice was calm and gentle. He slowly stood up and walked towards Lewis and others, preparing to treat their frostbite.

The hunters, who were usually bold and unrestrained, now silently made way for him, and no one dared to break the silence easily.

"Linus?" Seeing Linus walking towards him, Lewis' face was full of surprise and confusion. Obviously, he knew this mysterious person.

However, Linus did not respond to Lewis' question, but simply waved his hand lightly, and a green light enveloped Lewis, interrupting his words.

"Mr. Linus," when it was Gast's turn, he mustered up the courage to speak, "The power you just displayed was truly amazing. I... I have a presumptuous request." He was usually arrogant, but he would only show such humility when mentioning his sister.

His eyes flashed with anticipation and anxiety. Seeing that Linus did not stop him, Gast took a deep breath and continued, "My sister suffers from a rare disease. Her body has a strong rejection reaction to sunlight..."

Sean, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but prick up his ears when he heard this.

He had always been very concerned and curious about Ginger's condition. Ever since he received the mysterious note on his way home from the Ice and Snow Festival, he and Ginger had been exchanging letters.

During this period, although Sean tried many times to inquire about Ginger's health, she was always vague and cleverly avoided his questions. Even his request to visit her was politely rejected by her.

Therefore, during this period, Sean only maintained weekly written correspondence with Ginger and did not visit her at home.

"I already know about your sister's condition." Linus looked at Gast, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "I must tell you that I am afraid there is nothing I can do about her photophobia."

He paused, as if searching for more appropriate words to explain this complex situation: "My natural way, although it can cure many diseases, it is not a panacea."

"Your sister's illness stems from the genetic influence deep in her blood. Her ancestors may also be a family with strange abilities. This is the natural genetic characteristic of living things. I cannot use the power of nature to forcibly change this characteristic of her blood that repels sunlight. This goes against the natural way of my practice."

There was a flash of disappointment in Gast's eyes, but he still tried to stay calm and tried to find a glimmer of hope from Linus' words. "So, Mr. Linus, do you know of any other ways that might help my sister?" His voice was trembling, but his tone was firm.

Linus pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "There are two possible ways to cure your sister's illness. One is to find a method that can completely remove the abnormal influence in the bloodline, which requires in-depth research into the mysteries of genetics and medicine. The other is to fully stimulate the talent contained in the bloodline, but this is also full of unknowns and dangers."

Sean, who was far away, listened to Linus' description, and concepts such as "blood clan" and "vampire" involuntarily emerged in his mind.

"There seems to be no literary works about this race in this world. No wonder I didn't associate it with that race." Sean murmured to himself, feeling more and more pity for Ginger, a girl who had been fighting a terminal illness since childhood.

"Master Linus, do you know Lasmodes?" Gast still did not give up, he asked more respectfully, "I heard that there is such a person in Stardew Valley, maybe he can heal my sister."

When Linus heard the name of Rasmodes, a strange look flashed in his eyes. He shook his head and said slowly: "I have nothing to say about him. Remember, there are some things that you cannot easily get involved in."

Linus left a meaningful warning, then turned his attention away from Geist and stopped talking to him.

"No matter what, for my sister's sake, I must find a way to heal her." Gast lowered his head with a determined look.

"Las Modes?" Sean noticed the significant change in Linus' attitude and was wary of the name that triggered this reaction.

"Finally, we know the cause of Jinjier's illness. Awakening of blood talent? I don't know if magic can be used to catalyze it. Unfortunately, there are too few relevant samples. We can't try it directly on Jinjier. The risk is too great."

Sean silently pondered over a solution.

"Elder sir, do you know the dwarves?" Petra, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but ask.

Linus turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on Petra. His eyes, like two amber stones that had been baptized by time, were still clear and bright as if they could see through everything.

However, he finally just shook his head gently, his dry lips slightly pursed, and didn't utter any more words. He closed his eyes and began to rest, obviously unwilling to go deeper into this topic.

Petra sensed Linus' silence.

"Thank you." She responded politely, then put away her curiosity and did not disturb Linus' rest.

Some secrets take time to uncover, and some things are more interesting if you explore them yourself. So she didn't force it.

After a while, Linus opened his eyes and looked into the distance blocked by the rock wall. His eye sockets were sunken and deep. "The guys from the Explorers Guild are about to arrive. Little friend Sean, I'll leave this place to you."

Linus, who is naturally free and easy, is obviously unwilling to deal with any overly official organization.

"I came with the wind and leave with the wind, free and easy, refreshing and happy."

Linus chanted, and in a flash of light and shadow, he turned into a hummingbird and flew towards the surface of the earth, with his hearty voice echoing in the passage behind him.
