Wizard: I Can Synthesis Everything-Chapter 46: The Secret of the Silver Fish

...

"Old Jack..."

"He doesn’t know."

"Captain, is there a secret involved?"

Jason paced back and forth, clearly hesitant to reveal what he knew.

Seeing this, Lin Suo took the initiative to cast a spell.

A two-dimensional Witchcraft Model appeared above his palm, emitting a dull yellow glow.

Several stone spears slowly rose from the ground.

Jason exclaimed in surprise, "Rhein, you are a Wizard?"

"Yes, can the identity of a Wizard withstand the dark hand behind this?"

"This... Alright, I can tell you, but the choice of revenge is yours."

"Okay."

Jason leaned against the wall, his tone complex as he began to tell a story.

Ten years ago.

This sea area used to be where the Sahuagin pastured young sharks, a cyclical migration that took years before they came back to collect the grown sharks.

And Silver Fish Village was just an ordinary fishing village, nothing special about it.

They coexisted peacefully.

Until one fishing trip.

A fisherman discovered an underwater complex near the seabed.

The ruins were hidden behind rock crevices.

They were so well-concealed that the fisherman, while catching clams, accidentally triggered a mechanism and found these underwater ruins.

It was an old city of the Evil Naga.

The city had been abandoned for hundreds of years since the nearby seas were taken by human Wizards, but the fisherman entered to explore with his ability to swim.

He found the wizardry heritage left behind by the Naga Tribe when they retreated.

And, by chance, this Fisherman Wizard had an excellent Talent.

He learned some of the less valuable Witchcraft left behind.

The Evil Naga Tribe, as legend has it, are descendants of fallen Wizards.

Their Bloodline is intimately connected with the energy of the Curse system.

Most of the Witchcraft they left behind was therefore Curse Witchcraft.

The first Witchcraft the fisherman learned was the Naga Tribe’s food Curse Technique.

[Silver Fish Curse]

What happened next is easy to guess.

The fisherman used the Curse Witchcraft to create a Curse Medium for the Silver Fish Curse, which the villagers worshiped in their homes, placing their fish and the Curse Medium together after each fishing trip.

The next day, they would harvest a basket of delicious silver fish.

The villagers’ livelihoods gradually improved.

But humans are never satisfied. The fisherman who accidentally learned Witchcraft trusted his neighbors too much and someone became aware of the secret of the underwater ruins.

One day, while going to learn Witchcraft at the ruins, he was followed.

At that time, the Sahuagin just happened to be pasturing and stumbled upon the sneaking duo.

Ordinary people, or Wizard Apprentices who learned a bit of Curse Witchcraft, stand no chance against the Sahuagin in the water.

After this battle, both men died.

The ruins were taken over by the Sahuagin.

However, the Curse Medium left by the Fisherman Wizard was still effective, and years later, due to age and frequent use, it gradually lost its power.

That’s when the villagers realized that the Fisherman Wizard who had brought them wealth had disappeared.

So they went to seek help but did not get the results they wanted.

They acted in anger.

They submerged the Fisherman Wizard’s family in the sea.

But little did they know, one person who was a good swimmer did not drown. In a few short months, he returned with a noble and slaughtered everyone in Silver Fish Village.

He also cleared out the underwater Sahuagin and excavated the ruins.

The work lasted for months, and Jason, being a Transcendent with the strength of a Knight, was conscripted to help.

He was very familiar with the ins and outs.

And that survivor was Old Jack!

That’s why when Lin Suo said he was from Silver Fish Village, Jason was so eager to ask if Old Jack knew.

After hearing the story of the farmer and the snake. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Lin Suo’s eyebrows furrowed into a knot.

He thought there was something wrong with Old Jack, but this was it?

It’s not a problem to repay direct grievance, it’s just a bit too much... Could the recent Sahu fishmen’s attacks on the coast be related to the purge from years ago? Or is it related to the underwater Naga Ruins?

What a hassle!

"Captain Jason, do you recognize that noble?"

"This..."

Jason scratched his head naively.

"I don’t recognize him, but I remember the coat of arms of that group of knights. It’s a blossoming Purple Orchid with three Purple Crystal patterns."

"This is... troublesome."

Lin Suo rubbed his brow, for he wanted to purchase a noble title.

He was not intimate with the Dan Dong Empire’s nobility, but he was clear about the nobles in the Koster region.

The coat of arms described by Jason symbolizes a hereditary Earl of the Empire, the Purple Bauhinia Family!

The family motto: It’s better to conquer than to toil.

This kind of declaration clearly shows what they’re made of, and not to mention, the Purple Bauhinia Family came from pirate origins. They were once dominant at sea, and later, for some reason, they pledged allegiance to Dan Dong.

To this day, they still serve in the Dan Dong Navy.

Mostly holding real power, their family Wizards are also tremendously numerous, only slightly less powerful than the North Sea behemoth.

As to why they named themselves the Purple Bauhinia Family and adopted such a splendid and beautiful coat of arms.

It is to draw a line with the past, step out of the pirate’s lowly origins, and claim nobility.

But this family motto reveals the nature of a dog that can’t stop eating its own filth.

If they didn’t hold real power, they would have been devoured by the nobles of Dan Dong long ago.

A commercial empire needs a stable hinterland.

To retain wealth, equally powerful military force is needed.

The Purple Bauhinia Family, being violent and plunderous at heart, bases their actions on pillaging and slaughtered thousands for a Naga Ruin.

They act inhumanly, but they have a strong military force, so the Empire won’t touch this important coastal army unless absolutely necessary.

Lin Suo, both annoyed and helpless, had to forego the idea of revenge. With Silver Fish Village wiped out, it was all the easier to consolidate his identity.

Only, some actual actions were necessary.

If the Purple Bauhinia Family were too petty, or if Old Jack’s hatred had not subsided, there would be the risk of clashing with a colossal entity.

A gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall.

After much contemplation, Lin Suo decided to explore further with a different identity.

"Captain Jason, since Silver Fish Village is gone, let’s leave this matter be. Have there been any villagers who went out and returned in the past few years?"

"It’s good that you think this way. As for those who returned, I’ve heard of them, but never seen them. They usually stay for just two days and leave. You’ve seen what Silver Fish Village is like."

Damn it!

This doesn’t sound problematic at face value, but Old Jack stands guard in Qiutian Village, the closest to Silver Fish Village.

Anyone wishing to ask about Silver Fish Village would ninety percent end up here.

And since he could wipe them out to the last,

He surely could also lie in wait, trying to completely sever all the enemies’ bloodlines!

Truly ruthless.

However, you can’t persuade one to be kind without experiencing the bitterness yourself.

If they mean to harm him, then they can’t blame him for eradicating danger in its infancy.

Lin Suo communicated with the Moon Blade Leopard through a Contract, with closed eyes, and learned that Old Jack went to the first place he had visited today...

Silver Fish Village!

If that’s the case, then kill him, Lin Suo’s eyes showed a cold intent as he issued the order to the Moon Blade Leopard.

Soon after.

Baobao sent news that the instruction was completed.

Lin Suo ordered it to drag the body into an abandoned house and bury it on the spot.

It is not convenient to get involved with Silver Fish Village as Rhein for the time being.

He plans to wait for a while.

If the Purple Bauhinia forgets about this and about Old Jack, then buying that land later is not late.

For a large family, forgetting a "trivial matter" is very normal.

Of course, he needs to explore the Naga Ruins first.

The value of the ruins will dictate the importance of this matter and serve as one of the criteria for future plans.
