Chapter 69: Has It Started? It’s Already Over.

[ Meanwhile ]

Lynn's Bedroom.

Lynn flipped through the book in his hand, filled with emotion.

If he hadn't rummaged through his boxes and chests today, he would have almost forgotten this "Research Result" he had treasured for years!

Origin Source. As the oldest form of magic on the Violet Continent, it was extremely popular four or five thousand years ago.

Lynn's mind vaguely recalled the situation back then.

Yes. When you have a powerful Evil Dragon Waifu, you deeply realize the weakness of being a human.

Whether in terms of combat strength, or in a certain wicked aspect...

It wasn't like those fantasy novels where no matter what species the partner is, the Protagonist can stand tall and maintain his majestic virility forever... After all, humans have limits. No matter how strong you are, it's hard to physically conquer a tyrannical dragon!

O(╥﹏╥)o

He vaguely remembered the few sentences he heard on the massive dragon bed during his honeymoon—words that deeply hurt his self-esteem.

"Lynn~ Has it started?"

"... It's already over."

He looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, tears streaming down his face like rain.

During the time his Dragon Waifu was still around, what was the driving force that supported him to become stronger?! What was constantly forcing him from behind to surpass his limits?!

Of course, it was because... Because...

(?^?) I won't say it. Speaking of it brings too many tears.

Lynn read the book in his hand with teary eyes, cherishing his past research results. It was really just to supplement his "nutrition" a little bit... so he accidentally researched all the knowledge of the Origin Source thoroughly. It was all forced by circumstance!

"But anyway, there were some results."

Lynn sighed with melancholy. He continued to flip through it. Reading with gusto. It was like looking back at a primary school essay written decades ago. It really gave him a different feeling.

But just then. Lynn suddenly froze.

"Eh? Why is a page missing?"

Lynn stared at the jagged edge on the yellowed paper where a page had been torn out. He was confused. The tear looked fresh.

"Did I accidentally lose it while rummaging through the boxes?"

[ Noon ]

Accompanied by the faint magical shimmer of a teleportation spell. Nanako's body slowly appeared in her own bedroom.

Nanako was wearing her blue mage robe, but she was holding a stack of boxes piled high in her arms. There were even two large bundles tied to her twin-tails. She looked like a moving kangaroo.

"Finally, got all the materials together!"

Nanako put her hands on her hips, a proud expression on her face. Her ahoge danced briskly.

After confirming the "Basic Recipe" for lifting the curse (from the stolen page), Nanako used teleportation magic to make a round trip to Winterspring. She raided the Winterspring Treasury and found all the materials for the potion. After all, as an ancient organization, Winterspring had everything.

"With these materials, and with Nanako's strength, I should be able to brew the potion to lift the curse!"

Nanako spun around ?(?>?<?)?, her ponytails flying.

Without another word. Nanako hugged all her materials. And rushed out of the inn.

As soon as she went out, she saw the magical girl, Elena, standing outside the door.

Elena looked doubtfully at Nanako, who was carrying bags big and small. She tilted her head. "Deacon Nanako, what are you..."

Nanako winked. "I've found a way to lift the curse!"

Hearing this, Elena's eyes lit up instantly. "Re... Really? Lady Nanako, you..."

Nanako immediately put a finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture. She whispered mysteriously:

"Shh. Don't say it out loud. Is there a place in Lakeside Town where I can brew potions?"

Elena shut her mouth immediately, stared with big eyes, and nodded vigorously. "There is an Alchemist Guild. You can rent an Alchemy Workshop from them for a small fee."

Nanako said cheerfully, "Great! Elena, take me there quickly!"

Elena glanced doubtfully in the direction of the inn. "Deacon Nanako, should I go notify your Disciple?"

Nanako glanced at the inn, then shook her head vigorously. She said slyly: "No need. Let him rest well. We'll give him a surprise after we make the potion."

Of course, no need to notify him. Because the recipe was stolen from Disciple.

Of course. The main reason is that I want to prove Nanako's strength. Even without Disciple, Nanako can brew amazing potions. Because Nanako is also a very powerful Mage!

Harboring her little secret, Nanako and Elena immediately scurried toward the Alchemist Guild like two sneaky thieves.

However, they didn't notice. At a corner near the inn. A pair of eyes was watching Nanako and Elena's retreating figures.

[ The Church ]

"Knight Captain Marshall, that's exactly what happened. Just a moment ago, I saw the Winterspring Deacon and the other mage heading toward the Alchemist Guild."

Knight Captain Marshall frowned slightly, pacing back and forth. His armor clanked. Clack. Clack.

He pondered slightly. "Did you hear what they were saying?"

The spy lowered his head. "I didn't dare to get too close, but I vaguely heard something about 'Potion', 'Curse', and such..."

Hearing this. Knight Captain Marshall looked up instantly, frowning. "Potion? Could it be that those Winterspring Mages found a way to lift the curse?"

Since the curse outbreak in Lakeside Town, many people in their Church had also been turned into pigs. The Church had launched research into breaking the curse. But so far, they had found nothing.

Knight Captain Marshall fell into deep thought.

"Continue monitoring! If they really make any progress, report to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

Not long ago, he received news. The guards responsible for watching the cursed residents told him that Her Highness Saint Anna personally ordered the release of those residents. And she was with the Winterspring Mages.

He couldn't help but frown. If Her Highness Saint Anna had really returned, why didn't she come to the Church to see them? And during this time, no matter what method he used, he couldn't contact Saint Anna.

He felt there were some suspicious points in this. So, where exactly did Her Highness Saint Anna go?

"Squeal—— Squeal——"

From the basement, the miserable squeals of those black pigs echoed again.

Knight Captain Marshall flew into a rage. He shouted towards the basement: "BEAT HIM! KEEP BEATING HIM! Beat him until he doesn't want to be my Daddy anymore! Damn it!"

[ Meanwhile ]

Inside a room in the Alchemist Guild.

By simply showing the Winterspring Deacon Insignia, Nanako easily obtained the right to use an Alchemy Workshop.

"Quick, quick! Take out all the materials! We are preparing to brew the potion!"

Nanako busied herself quickly, humming a relaxed tune. Her twin-tails bobbed up and down. She quickly took out all the various materials she brought from Winterspring in one go.
