Wizard: I Can Synthesis Everything-Chapter 185 - 182: The Spreading Deep Sea

...

The Blood Ancestor didn’t realize that Lin Suo’s caution was mistaken for a provocation by the Red Dragons.

Thus, in the eyes of the Red Dragons.

The Blood Ancestor’s perceived warning = an extremely arrogant provocation.

Unannounced combat equated to a secret attack.

Even killing a Level Three Lower Grade dragon, they were crazed to the extreme, their intentions clearly aimed at the eradication of an entire lineage!

Absolutely intolerable.

So several Red Dragon elders used a special bloodline communication method to report the matter to the Legendary Red Dragon King, who was robbing somewhere unknown.

Burning Wings·Tiago.

This indeed spurred a real war.

...

Bertos Kingdom’s southern frontline.

Ancient Wind City.

The Demon Hunting Points Race had passed almost four years in the blink of an eye.

On the All-Purpose Ball, Lin Suo was ranked first in the Golden Academy’s points list with a temporary score.

His total points reached a staggering twelve billion.

The second place was held by a professor from the Fire King Family.

A Seventh Ring Flame Wizard, who was in second place with eight billion points.

The points list only records the students and instructors of the academy; long-established powerhouses and members of prominent families use a different method to determine potential.

Lin Suo guessed it must be related to the direction of the new world’s development.

He definitely needed to keep up with the academy’s pace.

Responding to the call of the vice-chancellor.

Tavern.

Lin Suo sat with a few old acquaintances, catching up on old times; Theresa seemed even more charming after not seeing her for several years.

Holding little Thea, she introduced her to everyone.

"Thea, this is Maquire, call him brother."

"Brother~"

Thea’s sweet voice and her lovely appearance radiated astonishing charm as soon as she arrived, winning everyone’s affection.

And she wasn’t the least bit daunted.

Logically speaking, since she could remember, Thea hadn’t met anyone other than Lin Suo.

Her unabashed demeanor was all the more precious.

Taking the daughter to meet people while casually telling her the old stories.

"Your brother Maquire is no simple man; he’s reached Third Ring strength in just five years, surely having consumed quite a lot of your father’s collection, right?"

"Ha ha."

Maquire gave an embarrassed chuckle, realising something, and quickly took an item out of his Space Ring and handed it to Lin Suo.

He was the only student in the academy to have been taught actual witchcraft by Lin Suo, equivalent to being his true disciple.

Although it was an exchange of equal value, he indeed had taught him, and the result was quite good.

Even Jon Luer, the commoner talent that Lin Suo had high hopes for, hadn’t been bestowed with such teaching.

It was his first time meeting his teacher’s daughter, and it wouldn’t do not to give a gift.

Little did he know, Lin Suo’s recent remark was precisely to prompt him...

Cunning and shrewd.

"Teacher, this is a meeting gift for little Thea."

"The masterpiece of Master of Magic Medicine, Diadin, ’Dream King’s Tears’!"

Lin Suo curiously accepted it.

He wasn’t very familiar with this generation’s well-known figures in the Wizard World, but rather knew more detailed records from history, having thoroughly researched during his knowledge expansion.

"Dream King’s Tears..."

He opened the box, inside was a sky-blue potion.

Lin Suo opened the stopper and took a sniff, his Eye of Truth quickly judged the effect; this was a special potion for the enlightenment of children.

It could forcibly elevate the spiritual power of children below 5 to 9~10 points, meeting the requirements to become a Wizard Apprentice.

Moreover, those with good innate talents could even use it to transcend dimensions and increase their spiritual power by 2~3 points, becoming geniuses.

"There are such things too?"

"Yes."

Maquire responded.

"This was originally prepared for the daughter of the Bertos King, but since we’ve met Thea, it’s alright to give it to her first."

"The King’s granddaughter... Is she a child of Titan Migaron?!"

Lin Suo was surprised; ever since Professor Goodnight von Kingsley resigned, he had almost no contact with Migaron’s people.

Little did he expect that the next time it would be referred to in past tense.

"Alas, Migaron suffered persecution by the Crow-men, and was traitorously stabbed in the back by Purple Orchid at a critical moment, virtually leading to the annihilation of the entire family, with only a few escaping to Bertos, relying on their father-in-law."

"The King is his father’s own brother, a promising future devastated in an instant."

Actually, it wasn’t just Migaron who met with a misfortune.

Many small nobilities and merchant families that served Court Wizards suffered heavy casualties and many were extinguished.

To the Dan Dong Empire, it was like undergoing a transformation, shedding chains and burdens, ready to face the new world unencumbered, prepared to the fullest.

After all, aside from Legendary Wizards, many people did not understand the actual situation on the other side.

The existing system was on the verge of collapse.

Only by cutting off everything could they begin anew.

Misfortune and fortune are interconnected...

As for the reason they were targeted, Lin Suo could guess; the Curse Scythe he handed over was likely the source of the calamity.

"Time and fate; let’s not talk about them."

"Thea, this is Sister Laura, also a student of your father."

Other than Theresa and Maquire, there were several of Lin Suo’s students at the table, all training at the Ancient Wind Defense Line.

Their Demon Hunting Points and overall ranking are linked.

But with limited strength, the highest was only a few tens of millions.

Compared to these instructors, the students likely had different expectations.

"This is Aunt Theresa, a good friend of your father."

"Aunt Theresa~"

"Ah~"

Thea’s crisp address brought a smile to Theresa’s face, who then took Thea into her arms and started to dote endlessly.

Her age, even among Elves, would fall into the aunt category.

Naturally overflowing with motherly love.

Unfortunately, due to some personal reasons, she did not plan to marry and have children; by getting Thea from Lin Suo’s side, she somehow fulfilled her psychological desire in another aspect.

"Thea, this is for you."

Theresa gave Thea a Green Leaf Necklace.

It was a Level Three Magic Tool.

With the effect of concentrating the spirit and nurturing the soul, defending against mental attacks.

"Thank you, Aunt Theresa."

"Hahahaha."

Their cheerful atmosphere continued until late into the night.

Lin Suo placed the Wizard Tower on an open space outside of the city, inviting them to spend the night together.

This was not about the intoxication of wine.

It was about the enjoyment of nature and landscapes.

Maquire and the others were astute people, they had long noticed the ambiguous relationship between Professor Theresa and Professor Rhein.

Thus, a night of deep conversations passed.

The next morning.

Little Thea quietly pushed open the door to the master bedroom, her big eyes shining with curiosity.

Tiptoeing, she crept step by step towards the bed shrouded in thin gauze.

Inside.

Theresa was cuddling in his arms, her head buried in his chest, her hand on her cheek, her large dark eyes unblinkingly staring at Lin Suo’s chin, the duo was in a very tranquil state...

After a night of battle, they were still in a state of exhaustion.

Lin Suo, even more so, hadn’t slept in years, and this sleep was especially deep.

Suddenly.

A rustling under the curtain, a cute little head poked out.

Her tender face immediately flushed with anger.

She shouted in a small voice.

"Well, I treated you like my own aunt, and this is how you treat me!!! Are you both even worthy of my mother?!"

Theresa woke up abruptly, and Lin Suo as well.

"Thea..."

"Jerks, you’re all jerks! Wuu wuu wuu~"

The little girl ran off.

Theresa didn’t care about the slipping blanket and wanted to chase after her, but Lin Suo pulled her into his embrace, her cheeks blushing red, wriggling awkwardly.

"Rhein, how could you..."

"I did it on purpose."

Lin Suo shook his head.

"Thea is almost four years old now, she’s unlike ordinary children, she’s more intelligent, there are some things I don’t know how to explain, so I had to let her..."

"You!"

Theresa was shocked.

What if her dear friend suddenly wanted to marry her?

"It can’t be, the child’s mother..."

"Thea is not my bloodline."

Theresa realized in a flash that she had misunderstood and was stunned for a while before coming to her senses, giving Lin Suo a glare.

"You handled it too roughly, how can you be like this, discuss with me first, I can teach you."

Lin Suo was puzzled.

"You’ve never had children, what do you know, any different from me? At least I’ve taken care of her for a few years..."

"You’re really silly, truly..."

"Don’t delay, go catch up with her, be honest, Thea is smart and sharp, she won’t blame you."

"This... chi chuang kou ba."

When Lin Suo left the house, not surprisingly, he found Thea in the Beast Cage, where she was lying in the Chimera Beast King’s embrace, her face wet.

"That... Thea, there’s something I need to tell you, about your origins."

Thea glanced at him sideways and then buried herself deep in the Chimera’s fur, refusing to deal with him.

When it was time to teach the child common sense.

She had been asked about her mother.

But there was none.

Child, wake up, were you born from the seed of death from the Inverted World?

These words could not be recklessly spoken.

Lin Suo would rather Thea thought she was found, rather than being too stimulated and losing control.

A four-year-old child.

Apart from being a little childish.

Her usual demeanor, more like an eleven or twelve-year-old maiden, so Lin Suo "planned" this scene.

Currently still under control.

Lin Suo spoke earnestly about Thea’s origin, saying she was found.

That was no lie.

Compared to being found, Lin Suo felt he had taken on someone else’s fate, replacing half of someone’s destiny.

Because she was snatched by the World Tree Magic Ring.

It still baffles him to this day.

The vision he saw at that time, it still lingers in his memory.

After a long time.

As Lin Suo calmly finished speaking, Thea had fallen asleep in the Chimera’s belly.

"No matter what, you are Thea Rhein, don’t worry, child."

Little Thea’s eyelashes quivered.

Then it went back to calm.

——————

On the coast of Koster.

As the Crow-man’s attacks grew more and more violent, a large number of cities fell, people voluntarily gathered towards the Golden City, seeking protection from the Empire.

Many fragmented forces also gradually emerged in the harsh environment, producing many young wizards who gained some fame by sheltering a region.

And the ruins of Koster no longer showed the prosperity and bustle of the old port city.

Silence and a curse completely enveloped this place.

At this moment.

The blue-to-black sea water was advancing towards the land, the streets of Koster were already filled with mud.

The water level was rising.

Despite being only in the Nearshore District, it was deep and chilling to the bone.

Vaguely, one could see huge tentacles with human faces sliding from the seabed, something indescribable was awakening.

The mighty Eternal Drowners were moving.

From the deep sea towards the land.

They brought mutation and sea water, death and curses.

Everything was evolving in an unknown direction...
