Chapter 462: Chapter 446: The Born Legend, The Beast That Devours Everything! (Two in One)
Lynn pondered in his mind which constraint method should be used for the nuclear fusion reactor, and it took him quite a while before he realized that Del had been standing by his side all along.
Seeing the star of magic finally snapping out of his thoughts, Del hurriedly reported, “Master of the Academy, the wizards pursued by the Church in the western part of the Empire have all safely arrived in Fire Oil City.”
“Here are some personnel files that need attention!” As Del spoke, he handed over a list.
Lynn reached out to take it. It contained a series of names, with yellow or red marks on the names of about twenty people.
Although the council had long possessed the means to detect Divine Arts, ensuring that all those entering Fire Oil City were Wizards, Lynn would never take these ‘compatriots’ lightly.
About two years ago, the disaster sparked by the Evil Mage Merck in Wizard Land was still vivid in his memory—the whole thing started with a cardinal who managed to disguise himself as a wizard using transmigration to infiltrate their ranks.
With this precedent in mind, the council naturally had to be cautious, so on Lynn’s suggestion, a small test was added—a Spiritual Energy Wizard would secretly cast an emotional probe spell, and those wizards who responded intensely while reading a certain script were listed as suspects.
After all, the more devout believers would become angry at the blasphemous words on the script, not to mention having to curse aloud themselves.
However, the method wasn’t 100% accurate. The pseudo-god held a prominent sway within the Empire, and some wizards and apprentices within the Empire’s borders didn’t dare to even utter the deity’s name, and there were also cases of intense fear preventing people from speaking, so suspicion could only serve as a reference for screening potential targets.

Lynn’s gaze swiftly swept over the list, and he was quite surprised to see a familiar name, causing him to pause and a look of astonishment to appear on his face.
“Ivina…” Lynn whispered softly.
“Master, is she an old acquaintance of yours?” Del asked cautiously.
He clearly knew that the star of magic had been active within the borders of the Empire before arriving in Wizard Land, so it was only natural for him to have a few old acquaintances.
The other party’s age and comely features also led Del to make some different guesses.
“You could say that,” Lynn nodded. He couldn’t be completely certain based on the name alone, but if the age and hair color matched as well, then it was almost certainly the person he knew.
Right after his transmigration, he had infiltrated a harbor town to find the crippled Laud to obtain a boat ticket to Wizard Land and had to assume the identity of Loth Pedro, the brother of the person he sought.
In the end, he didn’t find the person, but was caught red-handed by the steward and forced to enter the Pedro manor.
Thankfully, the relationships within this decayed noble family were extremely complicated, or rather, could be described as perverse. The Baron was obsessed with climbing the social ladder, seemingly caring for his two children, but in reality, using them as tools for power advancement and family revival.
And the sister, Ivina, harbored a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred toward Loth.
Lynn remembered that before he left the harbor town to cross the sea, he had taught Ivina a good lesson as a way to repay the favor of borrowing Loth’s identity, hoping to break up this perverse family relationship.
After a separation of two years, had she actually become a Wizard?
This was an unexpected turn…
“Since she’s an old acquaintance of yours, there’s no need to investigate her,” Del said as he picked up the pen, ready to cross Ivina’s name off the list. However, Lynn shook his head and interjected, “No, we’re actually not that close, let’s do everything by the book! Don’t let anyone slip through because of me…”
Although he had had some contact with Ivina, their relationship was by no means close, and all of that was in the past. Lynn had no intention of rekindling any connection with her.
“I understand, Master Lynn,” Del said thoughtfully, marking the word “Priority” next to Ivina’s name.
“Is there anything else to report?” Lynn asked as Del didn’t seem to leave after taking back the list.
“It’s about the uranium mine… recently, the guards and miners there have been attacked, and even a golem has been chewed up,” Del said with a hint of worry on his face.
Hearing this, Lynn’s expression also grew somber. The discovery of the Demon Stone had led him to speculate that there must be a creature, or even a group of creatures, capable of consuming nuclear fuel deep inside the uranium mine.
However, during the time spent mining uranium ore, the wizards tasked with scouting the mine hadn’t been able to find such a monster, so the issue had been left unresolved.
“Has the council sent someone to deal with it?” Lynn asked.
“Master Rafael has already gone with a pair of Alchemists to capture the beast, and to this day, no useful information has come back,” Del said hesitantly.
“In that case, I’ll go have a look myself!” Lynn said, feeling somewhat uneasy.
It was evident that such a creature could only be described as terrifying, certainly not easy to contend with!
…
It took about five hours to reach the royal capital from Fire Oil City, even by airship. By the time Lynn arrived at the uranium mine, it was already early the next morning.
