Chapter 37: My Brother, You Are the Obstacle to My Progress

Translator: Lonelytree

When the night fell, the bustling port town was already immersed in silence and peace.

The bright full moon rose from the sea level, and a faint light spread down as if it had covered the entire harbor town with a layer of fine silver yarn.

At this moment, Lin En was sitting on the top floor of the Pedro House, looking down at the entire town. He did not know if it was an illusion, but the port seemed to be particularly quiet today. He could not hear the slightest sound of insects. This abnormality made him smell a hint of danger.

” 071, report to me the energy reserves.” After putting the diary away, Lin En asked.

[Energy remaining: 40.2%]

“Unfortunately, that is still too low…”

Four full moons had increased 071’s energy reserves by about 30%. This was already very fast, but that could only maintain the overload mode for about 200 seconds.

It was only in this state that he could unleash the full power of the White Phosphorescence Fire!

Although he felt uneasy, he did not plan to change his plan. Tonight was his only chance to save Pigeon and Joni!

After all, the sea route to Grimrelle would only open on Radiant Moon, and tomorrow would be the day of the public execution.

Lin En took out Lott’s diary and placed it on the corner of the table.

After today, regardless of success or failure, he would no longer be able to stay in Port Town. He would have nothing to do with Lott anymore.

This diary would be his last present to Baron Pedro and Ivana. Although he did not expect it to change anything, it was the only thing he could do.

After packing up, Lin En walked out of the room alone, recalling the information collected by the Boat Gang.

Adrian…He was a priest who had just been transferred to Port Town. He was the right-hand man of Bishop Antioch. He was born into a noble family and was the champion of the last Nordland Knight Assessment. He had decent swordsmanship.

The most important thing was that the other party’s work and rest were very regular. Every night at this time, he would definitely go out. His whereabouts were unknown, and he was suspected to be attending a banquet of some noble.

As for the rescue plan, Lin En had thought of several plans. The smoothest one was to capture and replace Adrian.

Not only could he directly ask who the captured people was and where they were being held, but Adrian’s identity as the bishop’s right-hand man was also extremely useful.

When the full moon hung high in the sky, the people of the Boat Gang would cause trouble at the dock and chase away all the unrelated people. They would also use the white phosphorous powder that he had prepared in advance to set fire to the place.

Once this kind of inextinguishable ” hellfire ” spread, it was definitely not something that could be solved by a few hundred garrisons. It was his signature magic.

At that time, whether it was to quell the flames or to capture him, there was a high chance that the Church would personally make a move or even mobilize the elite guards hidden in the dark.

A large number of goods piled up on the dock had been quietly replaced with special black gunpowder by the [Boat Gang]. Once it was detonated, both the warships docked at the dock, and the reinforcements would be instantly blown up!

It would be best if they could kill Antioch as well. Even if they couldn’t, the archbishop wouldn’t be able to return anytime soon.

At the same time, he would use the identity of Adrian to enter the place where Joni and the others were imprisoned. He could use the chaotic situation in the port town as an excuse to pass on the archbishop’s order and transfer the prisoners to a safer place.

After they came out, Lauder’s trusted subordinates would be in charge of receiving them.

Of course, this was under the assumption that everything went smoothly. There might be countless unexpected situations along the way.

For example, he might be exposed when he disguised himself as Adrian to enter the prison or the guards were not willing to listen to his orders. Then, he could only rely on his own strength to solve the problem!

The worst-case scenario would be that Antioch chose to stay put and watch the hellfire spread rapidly at the dock. Then Lin En would have no choice but to put down the flames to prevent a large number of ordinary residents from getting involved.

If the flames were not controlled, the entire Harbor Town would turn into a sea of fire.

Lin En was trying to figure out what might happen in his mind. Suddenly, an unpleasant creaking sound came from the corridor ahead.

The alert Lin En immediately stopped his footsteps and looked up. Soon, he saw the figure at the end of the corridor.

The brown-haired girl stood upright in the shadows, holding a long blade in her hand. As she walked, her reddish-black clothes looked very strange under the illumination of the silver moon.

“Ivana, what are you doing here?” Lin En asked in confusion. At the same time, he pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword. The other party’s room should be on the second floor.

“Why do you think?” The brown-haired girl asked in a low voice. ” Why is it that no matter how outstanding I am or how hard I work, Father will never approve of me? You can’t even pass the Knight assessment. You fail again and again, but you can always easily get everything I want…”

Ivana lowered her head, her voice filled with uncontrollable anger. She gritted her teeth as if she was trying her best to suppress her anger.

But soon, the girl’s expression calmed down again, and her tone was very cold.

“My brother, you are an obstacle to my progress…”

Lin En’s pupils contracted. As soon as he finished speaking, Ivana had already rushed forward with a thin blade in her hand.

Clang ~

As the metal weapons clashed, Lin En drew the steel sword at his waist and blocked the thin blade in the air. However, he could clearly feel that the girl’s strength and speed were much stronger than when they were sparring. Clearly, this was her true strength!

Ivana’s dark golden eyes flashed with coldness and killing intent. The thin blade turned into a cold light that cut through the air and slashed at Lin En again.

“You always have this indifferent look on your face…

“Tell me, why didn’t you tell Father about this?

“You clearly know that I’ve always wanted to kill you!”

With every word that Ivana said, the speed at which she brandished her thin blade became even faster. She stared at her brother with a complicated expression…
