Chapter 283: Episode 7: Old Ship

Not just Lynch, but everyone in the inn looked around, yet still couldn’t find a trace of Littlefinger Felps. When this Halfling wanted to conceal his whereabouts, he could always disappear from others’ sight without a trace, as he had in the past, and he remained unchanged.

Lynch sighed, helpless about Littlefinger’s habit. He slowly walked up to Wislin, looking at his companion who was already clad in the elite Paladin’s armor. The sun emblem forged through countless efforts was the unique mark of Holy Pate. However, Mages never believed that armor emblazoned with the Sun God’s symbol performed better against enemy spears than ordinary steel armor.

"Wislin, the battle in Pate is fraught with danger, but I will not be there to help you," the Mage said. "On the battlefield, my role as a Mage isn’t significant, and without a dispatch from the Mage Association, I can’t freely become your advisor."

"I know all of this," Wislin said. "Morgan and I are together; this battle won’t be dangerous."

"No, no." Lynch shook his head, leaning closer to Wislin and speaking softly: "When Holy Pate is about to win the battle against the Beastmen, I want you to be as close to Haisas or the Elf Kingdom of Moon as possible. Although I have no evidence now, I believe that a new enemy will emerge from there, tipping the scales of victory."

Lynch stepped back, again scrutinizing the Paladin and then the Dwarf nearby, smiling, saying: "What I just told you is merely a guess; there’s no need to tell the temple’s High Priests. I will now head to the Elf Kingdom, and if I find out any concrete information, I will surely inform you."

"Take care on your journey." Wislin looked at the Mage, gently patting him on the left shoulder. The hard metallic touch felt very peculiar to the Knight. Lynch said nothing, only bidding goodbye to the Dwarf and Deluo. For a long time to come, they were going to separate again.

"Nimo, are you coming with me?" Lynch looked at the Dwarf, unsure of his decision: "To the Elf Kingdom together?"

Nimo looked at Lynch, then at Deluo, and finally settled his gaze on Zilvra. He thought for a moment and replied, "No, thank you, I’ll stay with Deluo. If I’m always traveling, I can’t finish making a few things I have at hand. I think once I’m done, I’ll come to the Elf Kingdom to find you. It’s not too far, right?"

"As a saying in Haisas goes, it’s not your feet that measure the road, but your heart." Lynch said: "The Elf Kingdom is not far."

"So, that’s that." Deluo walked over to Soka, patting her on the head: "Little one, listen well to your brother Lynch."

Soka, with her bright, lively eyes, nodded vigorously.

The Mage turned back for one last glance upstairs; he had met his mother once in the morning. Not fond of forced goodbyes, Mrs. Ailinsha gave her handmade robe to her son, replacing his black Mage Robe, hiding it under her bed, and didn’t bid farewell to Lynch again. The Mage decided to set off directly. "Let’s go; it won’t be good if the army of Haisas arrives."

Zilvra said nothing, having already packed her gear, just waiting to leave formally.

"Ah-ha! Dear Mage sir." Just as Lynch was putting his baggage onto the horse’s back, Pate’s Priest Kuboert hurried over with quick strides, appearing right before them. "Mr. Lynch, are you leaving now?"

"Yes, your observation is not yet problematic," Lynch said offhandedly. "Mr. Kuboert, you’re not part of the Haisas army specifically sent to hunt down Mages, are you?"

"Of course not, of course not." The Priest clasped his hands together, bowing slightly to Lynch: "I came here today specifically to apologize, feeling immensely sorry for the inconvenience our oversight has caused you and your family."

"I accept your apology. Just like every family that hears apologies like yours, I accept it." The Mage had already mounted the horse, but the steed snorted in protest due to the immense weight of the refined gold arm. Lynch adjusted the horse’s posture, gently pressing his legs against its flanks: "Mr. Kuboert, we will set off now. When we meet again, we shall have a long talk."
