Inheritance of Knowledge

"Teacher Finn..."

The name Green Fir suggested moved Linsey deeply.

Teaching and imparting knowledge is definitely one of the most respectable things, not to mention Finn's selfless attitude.

Linsey would never hide something like this.

He immediately admitted:

"That's right, Finn is my teacher."

"He taught me a lot about botany, as well as the texts from the Volcano Codex."

Green Fir reached out and wrote a word on the table.

She didn't use much force, and the faint green color followed the path of her fingertips, leaving a mark on the surface of the wooden board.

"Linsey, do you know her?"

Linsey immediately read it aloud:

"White Ram Chrysanthemum".

"That's right." Green Fir nodded in agreement.

Written language is an essential skill for Life Scholar.

After a brief check, her attitude towards Linsey changed again, becoming more like the concern of an elder. "Then tell me, how is Finn doing now?"

"More than ten years have passed. Has he successfully advanced to the Fifth Stage? If he has, we will take him to Volcano City for certification, and his title as a botanist can be changed to that of Life Scholar."

Linsey shook her head regretfully. "My teacher, unfortunately, passed away three years ago..."

Death is also a part of life.

Green Fir immediately realized that Finn was dead.

She bowed her head in silence to express her grief.

After a short while, he reorganized his conversation with Linsey: "So Linsey, did Finn pass on his knowledge to you? I mean, Master Yang Ye's knowledge of cultivating plants."

Linsey answered solemnly:

"My teacher specifically instructed me to bring this knowledge back to Volcano City."

"Very good." Green Fir praised Linsey first, but then her tone became unusually harsh. "In that case, you should study the knowledge of Volcano City well and become a great Life Scholar in the future."

"You shouldn't choose strange things like Game Player when you have a teacher to guide you!"

Linsey shook her head:

"My path as an Awakened One was decided a very, very long time ago."

Green Fir pressed on, dissatisfied:

"Finn didn't stop you?"

"..."

In my past life, quite a few people tried to stop me from playing video games, but they all failed.

Linsey thought to herself, "I'm so annoyed."

But his outward answer was still very proper, "Green Fir, I am actually the godchild of Red Moon Lady, a member of the School of Death."

"It is also because of these real-world reasons that many things are inevitably somewhat regrettable."

Green Fir said decisively:

"The School of Death? Well, you don't need to regret it now!"

"Come back to the library with us. Kang Qi and I will help you get rid of these messy Essence on your body and re-establish your skill path."

"And you can rest assured, Volcano City welcomes a kid like you."

"With this opportunity to explore the Black Mountain World, you will surely make a great contribution, which will allow you to join the main faction in Volcano City. It is even possible that, with your incredible luck in escaping from the Black Mountain World, you could become an apprentice of the Law Codex Compilation Society."

Linsey once studied under Finn.

The Law Codex Compilation Society is a scholarly organization responsible for managing the "Volcano Codex" and is also the true ruler of Volcano City.

They typically have a size of 10 to 20 people, and even the weakest among them is a Seventh Stage powerhouse.

Although it is unclear what level the strongest among them is.

However, according to some rumors, if Volcano City were to face a crisis, the Editorial Society would have a way to create something at Ninth Stage to deal with the problem, which is one of the reasons why Volcano City is able to become World Main City.

The conditions that Green Fir is proposing at this moment.

This is something that is difficult for any awakened being to refuse.

"I'm sorry, that's not my concern."

Linsey resolutely refused. "I will copy down the knowledge that my teacher imparted to me and give it to you. I will also try my best to answer any questions you may have about the situation in the Black Mountain World. But I am personally not willing to switch allegiances."

Green Fir suddenly stood up, her tone stern. "Foolish! You're ruining yourself!"

"How can a useless game be compared to..."

"Look what I see!"

Just then, Kuit examining the plants, spoke up.

He didn't even glance in their direction, merely observing a Summer Bamboo in front of him, while casually remarking:

"A bamboo!"

"I love bamboo the most. It grows straight and upright, refusing to be twisted by external forces, and it will never succumb to the threats of power!"

The word "danger" was practically written all over Green Fir's face.

She turned to look at Kuit.

The female scholar originally thought that the businessman was staying here simply to observe.

To my utter surprise, just a few minutes later, the other party dared to interrupt my conversation with the junior apprentice, and with such sarcasm at that!

"Kuit, you..."

Rumble—

Just then, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet tremble again.

The forest was enraged once again! And compared to the previous three anomalies this week, this shaking was much more violent, with even ordinary residents screaming in terror from the streets outside.

"..."

The people in the shop exchanged glances.

When bigger problems arise, smaller problems are put aside.

They disregarded their argument and rushed outside the shop, where they saw the plants around Lookout Point City swaying wildly.

The fourth mutation came even more violently! The forest seemed to have turned into a demonic realm, and even the city offered no safety! "..."

"Lord Ke Saiwei Lait..."

In the crowd, Kang Qi turned his head to look at the watchtower next to him.

After the riots that broke out in the morning, the wizard had already left and gone into the forest to quell the crisis.

Before the other party has even returned, the same, and even more serious, crisis has erupted again.

Did the wizard's activities in the forest fail?

Other problems have arisen...

Something must have happened in the forest!

"We must check the situation; we can't let this continue!"

Kang Qi and Green Fir exchanged a glance, having already made their decision.

As the de facto rulers of Lookout Point City, the Life Scholar have an inescapable responsibility for this.

Rui Ke is to be stationed at the library to maintain order in the city.

But Kang Qi and Green Fir absolutely had to take action and couldn't let the situation continue to deteriorate! They made a decision.

The two Life Scholar also put aside their previous disagreements and immediately prepared to set off.

They were quite confident in their Sixth Stage strength, and simply took the young man Will with them and prepared to leave the street.

However, just as it was about to disappear.

Green Fir suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The female scholar turned her head and pointed directly at the merchant gazing out of the city. "Kuit, you come along too!"

"Even if you intend to compete with us for the development rights of Black Mountain World, you have to finish dealing with the matter of the Courtyard in the Forest first."

"..."

Kuit curled her lip in disdain, but followed after him nonetheless.

However, it's just like stopping and pulling his Green Fir.

Before leaving, the businessman also turned around and waved to Linsey behind him. "Mr. Linsey, I look forward to seeing you again. Next time I will definitely be prepared with sufficient compensation!"

Linsey watched the group leave.

Two waves of Sixth Stage awakened individuals came to my door; one side was a transaction with ulterior motives, and the other side was a forced 'teaching'.

They are all formidable opponents.

However, at this moment, Linsey was not thinking about the crisis in the forest or the development of the Black Mountain World.

He was thinking of a simpler and more direct approach:

"Hmm... should I move out sooner rather than later?"
