Chapter 15: Nature Association

Nightfall.

A secret room on the second floor of Rhein’s bookstore was filled with various materials such as herbs, machinery, animal carcasses, and numerous jars and bottles, some of which contain green viscous solutions or particular animal organs like eyeballs, sheep’s testicles, ox heads, and the like.

It’s like a template of an evil scientist’s laboratory.

These were all the synthesized products of Lin Suo’s experiments. Many were derived from ordinary materials that underwent multiple syntheses and reached the synthesis limit. They each had super effects in a specific aspect.

Lin Suo took out a glass jar from a hidden compartment. The jar contained a bunch of incense sticks, each about the length of a finger. He considered them one of his best research results.

He called it the “Fainting Agent”.

Its fainting effect was so strong that even with his physique, he would pass out in less than a second just with a whiff of it. An ordinary person who smelled it wouldn’t even wake up in a week.

He knew because he had experimented with it on gangsters he found in the coastal area (slums), which almost starved them to death.

Magi specialize in mental power and magic energy. Their bodies were usually not that strong.

That being said, Lin Suo estimated that their resistance to the Fainting Agent was not low either.

However, as the saying goes: If the quality is not good enough, increase the quantity.

After taking them all out, he inserted them one by one into a smoking pipe hidden in his sleeve, which was also specially designed. It contained one of his failed products, a pinch of black gunpowder.

As a modern person with the power of synthesis, although he didn’t understand the principles, he initially wanted to synthesize a gun. Unfortunately, he had failed to synthesize even the most basic gunpowder since its power couldn’t meet his expectations.

As such, firearms also became a fantasy.

However, the failed black gunpowder could be easily ignited with a flint and used with the Fainting Agent incense, making it a powerful tool.

After adjusting the trigger mechanism a bit, Lin Suo sat back at his desk. He held a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and made some adjustments with his tools.

The next day, he had just finished making breakfast and brought it down to the first floor. He was about to start eating when Valia came from next door, bending down to look at him on the sofa with a smile.

“Rhein, what are you eating? It smells so good.”

Lin Suo rolled his eyes as he thought to himself, “Please add “Mr.” before my name. We are not that close.”

“Fried eggs! If you want some…”

“Okay, okay.”

Valia sat down as if she was at home, took the porcelain plate over, and took a big bite.

Lin Suo’s lips twitched.

“Miss Valia, strictly speaking, eggs are also a kind of meat.”

Everyone knew that Elves worshipped nature and were vegan. It wasn’t that they couldn’t eat meat. It was just that after their bodies adapted to veganism, eating meat afterward would easily cause nausea…

“I was just about to say, if you want some food, I can prepare a vegan dish for you.”

Lin Suo shrugged.

Valia’s face turned white instantly due to psychological effects. She dumped Lin Suo’s food like trash and picked her throat in disgust until she vomited the fried eggs she had just eaten.

Lin Suo was speechless. He hadn’t even eaten those eggs yet!

He moved away from the garbage can and sighed helplessly. He could only take a piece of jerky from the storage cabinet and gnaw on it. If things went as he expected, he wouldn’t have time to make breakfast again.

Once Valia regained her composure, she apologized and explained why she had come over.

“Mr. Rhein, the nature association wants to see you for a test. If you pass and translate the Ancient Elvish for them, it should not be a problem for you to get an official Magi-level Meditation Technique.”

“Got it, let’s go.”

Lin Suo swallowed the jerky in a few bites and drank a glass of water before setting off with Valia.

The nature association was a racial organization created by the Elves who lived among humans. Its influence spanned the entire Padoron continent. As a famous business port city, Koster naturally had a branch of the organization.

Lin Suo’s knowledge of the organization was not very deep. Still, he was prepared for the worst-case scenario of uncovering earth-shattering secrets that could lead to his untimely demise.

The core ideology of this organization was probably to protect the environment and promote symbiosis with nature. The Elves were most likely advocates of peace that were preaching to the other races to not hunt excessively and destroy the environment. The Elves loved peace and nature, so it was only normal for them to have this ideology.

However, individuals within such organizations may vary. Even back on Earth, some environmental protection organizations use the guise of “protecting the environment” to pursue their selfish interests. Various foundations claim to be charitable, but ultimately, their ultimate goal was to accumulate wealth.

Lin Suo believed that such institutions and organizations were not initially created with such intentions. A few innocent ones were bound to be involved, and lumping them together was unfair.

However, since his life was at stake, he preferred to err on the side of caution, as this is the only way he could live comfortably and securely.

The Koster branch of the nature association was located in the mixe-blood area, bustling with people. The entire building resembled a giant tree trunk without a crown or roots. It stood straight at the side of the street with a sign hanging on it.

It was nearly five-ren tall, truly magnificent.

The deeper in he went, the more activity bustled around him. With that, Lin Suo felt more at ease. More people meant that the safety of his life was guaranteed. After all, he is still a “Dandong person”.

In the Dandong Empire, even commoners of Dandong were considered above others. Even if one dies, it will attract the attention of the city hall.

There were precedents for such incidents.

As the Dandong Empire’s commerce developed and the environment became more open, many other foreign races entered the territory, each with their motives. In the past, many foreign races, mainly the Beastmen, had regarded the Dandong people as weak and easy to exploit, seizing their wealth at will.

As a result, they were exterminated. Now, on Padoron Continent, only Half-beasts and enslaved Beastmen existed. All pure-blood Beastmen had tattoos on their faces that indicated their identity, and the status of the entire race was simply low to the ground, unable to cause any more trouble.

On the other hand, Half-beasts were different. They possessed some beast features, but they originated from another continent. Different from Padoron’s Beastmen, although they had also faced oppression, they survived that and their current status was normal on the surface.

The Dandong Empire has stringent laws but was exceptionally lenient towards its people. There was a nobility redemption bill, where if a noble committed a crime, they only need to pay a fine to walk free. Of course, this only applied to less severe cases. Plus, such a bill was invalid if the victim was another Dandong noble or commoner. It was simply designed to oppress outsiders.

It was vicious, and Lin Suo liked it.

After he learned the Meditation Technique, his next plan was to buy a title to protect himself. He did not want to oppress others, nor did he want to be oppressed. Having atitle would be very convenient for his self-protection.

He followed Valia into the nature association and went to the fourth floor, entering a classical room. He sat there while Valie went to find the person in charge after asking him to wait alone for a while.

Before long, an elderly Elf with white hair and a scraggly beard walked in, supporting himself with a walking stick. He spoke to Valia in Ancient Elvish, “Little Valia, is this the language guru you brought? A young and handsome human?”

“Granpa Antlers, Mr. Rhein speaks Ancient Elvish better than I do. Just let him try.”

“How is that possible? He’s so young and the language is hard to understand. Could it be that you’ve been…”

Seeing that the situation was developing in a strange direction, Lin Suo hurriedly stood up.
