My cousin is becoming a legend.

They traveled at least several kilometers through the forest.

Lynn did not encounter any wild animals along the way.

Perhaps the large army stationed nearby had already scared them away.

This mission was easier than expected.

After a long time, Lynn arrived at the other side of the forest.

The agreed-upon location was nearby.

Lynn searched for a long time using the map before finally finding the dilapidated wooden house in front of him.

There were no windows, and it was pitch black even through the cracks in the door.

It seems Lucas's sister is already asleep.

Lynn stood in front of the door and gently knocked on the door panel.

"Miss, Lord Lucas sent me to deliver money to you."

There was no movement.

Lynn knocked on the door even harder.

But there was still no movement.

Lynn frowned, hesitating for a long time.

"Miss, please forgive my rudeness."

Lynn kicked the door open and barged inside.

The room was pitch black.

The moonlight shone in, allowing Lynn to see the situation inside the room.

There is no such thing as Lucas's sister here.

Only one dead middle-aged man lay on the floor.

Dressed in gorgeous clothes, he looked like a Uma person.

The blood was still red, so it looked like the person had only been dead for a short time.

"Oh no!"

Lynn sensed something was wrong and immediately ran outside.

But before he could run out of the house...

A pale blue, transparent light curtain suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire wooden house and trapping Lynn inside.

Lynn drew his short sword and slashed at him, but was bounced back by a tremendous force.

"Save your energy, you can't escape."

A blonde woman emerged from the nearby woods.

She looked to be in her early twenties, with delicate features and fair skin.

A pair of emerald green eyes shone in the night.

Magical power flows within it.

It seems she was the one who did it.

When Lynn saw someone appear, he calmed down.

"Who are you? What do you want me to do?"

The blonde woman didn't answer Lynn's question; instead, she posed a question.

"Lynn Wilson, you're from Iportu too."

I ask you, are you willing to join the Iporto Restoration Society and drive all the Uma people out of our land?

Lynn was taken aback, but instantly understood his current predicament.

No wonder Lucas's attitude was so strange.

It turns out tonight was a trap set specifically for him.

We need to get him to join the Iporto Restoration Society!

Lynn gave a wry smile: "Do I have any other choice now?"

The blonde woman nodded.

"Then I'll take that as your agreement. Next, you'll have to dig out the heart of that Uma man on the ground."

Lynn frowned, but still followed her orders and ripped out the heart from the man on the ground.

The moment the heart is exposed to air.

A black light emerged from it and burrowed into Lynn's skin along his fingers.

A skull mark appeared on the back of Lynn's hand.

"This is the mark of killing the Nansha believers. I used some methods to seal it in your heart. But don't worry, I will give you medicine to temporarily remove it periodically."

The blonde woman forced a smile.

"My name is Shea Boffier. Welcome to the Restoration Society, Lynn."

The light curtain that enveloped the wooden house disappeared.

Lynn walked out with a gloomy expression.

"Lord Lucas really thinks highly of me, he actually killed a Umaman just for me."

Shea shrugged and extended her left hand to Lynn.

"There's no other way. It's so rare to find an Iportu superhuman like you who doesn't believe in religion these days. Please forgive us; all of this is for the sake of Greater Iportu."

Lynn reached out and gave her a light handshake.

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

"It's simple, complete the organization's mission. Also, I know you have a younger sister. Don't worry, the organization's mission won't prevent you from becoming a knight and breaking off your engagement with your sister."

Shea smiled.

Lynn was in a heavy mood.

"It seems you've investigated me quite thoroughly."

Shea smiled apologetically and handed over the bag she was carrying.

"I know this is rude. As compensation, the 200 silver nis are yours, and here's what you wanted."

Lynn took the luggage.

Upon opening the bag, the first thing that catches the eye is a thick, old-fashioned book.

Below the book was a cluster of dark purple flower buds.

Shea explained, "This is a book on alchemy. In this country where supernatural knowledge is monopolized, you can only improve yourself."

Don't worry, you don't need to read it carefully, and you can't possibly learn alchemy on your own. Alchemists are extremely rare even in the Kingdom of Siernus. You just need to turn to the designated page and find out how to take the medicine.

As for the flower buds below, those are the dark-elemental materials you requested: cat's eye flowers. And the plate armor and greatsword Lucas promised you are already on their way to your uncle's house.

"So, I wonder if these gifts will make you forgive our rudeness?"

The gloom on Lynn's face vanished instantly, and she smiled brightly.

"Miss Shia, you're being too polite. As people of Iportu, it's our inescapable duty to fight against the Japanese and restore the West! Tell me, what mission does the organization want to assign me?"

Shea smiled and handed a scroll to Lynn.

"Don't get too excited yet. You have to come with me to kill someone, and I can only give you a month to prepare."

When Lynn opened the reel, his excitement instantly subsided.

The mission is to kill a traitor from the Kingdom of Siernus.

He was a wealthy merchant who smuggled steel and metal materials into the Uma Kingdom.

He defected after being discovered by the Kingdom of Sirnus.

He was protected by a first-tier, fourth-star superhuman.

The two now live in the city of Burdings.

Shia explained, "Don't worry, the organization won't send you to your death. I'll lure that four-star superhuman away; you'll only be responsible for killing that traitor."

Lynn thought about it and agreed.

"Alright, once I've broken off the engagement with my sister, we'll set off to eliminate the thief."

Shea nodded; she had said everything she needed to say.

Before the two parted, Shea gave Lynn a special instruction.

"Be careful of Baron Nareel. Never reveal your identity to him. He's a ruthless man with no principles, and Lucas won't be able to help you then, understand?"

Lynn nodded.

Shea waved her hand, signaling Lynn to go first; she needed to deal with the Uma corpse.

on the way home.

Lynn pondered to himself.

Although he was somewhat passive in this situation, it seems he didn't lose out; in fact, he gained a lot.

The existence of the Restoration Society actually helped him become stronger in the Kingdom of Uma.

However, once exposed, Uncle Anthony's family will definitely be affected.

He'd better increase his value as soon as possible.

They arranged for the Restoration Society to transfer him and his Uncle Anthony's family to the territory of the Kingdom of Sirnus.

As for her second uncle's family, they were not within Lynn's consideration.

When his parents passed away, his second uncle's family not only seized his rightful property without any mercy, but also kicked him out of the mansion.

If it weren't for his third uncle Anthony taking him in, he probably would have gone to the church to convert to Christianity.

"Gaining attention is quite simple..."

Lynn gently stroked the old-fashioned book in his hand.

From the very moment he touched the book.

A message popped up.

He has already gained two new entries today.
