Chapter 50: The Forest of Fear

  When Lin Feng heard this question, Old Barthelmy glanced at Lin Feng and coldly snorted: "Hmph! Could an ordinary commoner be a magician?"

  Lin Feng really wanted to innocently shrug his shoulders, but at this moment he clearly couldn't make that gesture. He knew that in the instant when Old Bart had saved him, he must have seen him release magic, but what he didn't know was that as early as the day he killed Scarface, Old Bart had already understood that Lin Feng had a magician's identity.

  "Is it just because my other identity is a magician?" Lin Feng felt that this reason was also too far-fetched. Although the number of magicians was small, there was no need for two big shots to pay so much attention to it, right? Moreover, the Marquis had not known that he could use magic before!

  "Do you think a small-time magician like me would be taken seriously by the Headmaster and that Carson guy?"

  Old Barte's words seemed a bit impatient, but the next moment, he still expressed his thoughts: "Kid, you're so valued by those two big shots because you have the talent to reach the Sanctuary... This is nothing special, I'm telling you... You're also a magician, and I believe you know that in this world, although there are fewer magicians, there are over 2,000 of them. Among them, those who can reach the strength of a Great Magician will not exceed 100 people, and among these 100 people, only one Saint-level powerhouse has emerged, that is Cloudy Law Saint "Harry".

  The name of Yun Xiao Fa Sheng was well-known throughout the land, and Lin Feng wasn't surprised at all. He didn't say anything, quietly waiting for Old Barthe to continue speaking.

  "Yet warriors are as numerous as the hairs on a cow, and even great warriors are countless. But do you know? Over all these years, among these warriors who have reached the realm of the saints, in people's eyes, there are only two! Apart from the principal, another saintly strongman has no one knowing his name, only spreading out a nickname, people call him 'Blood Burier'."

  "Blood Burier?" Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little curious.

  "This Blood Burier...” As soon as the name was mentioned, a solemn expression finally emerged on Old Barte's face: “No one knows whether he is male or female, nor does anyone know his true name. His whereabouts are unpredictable and elusive. It is said that those who have seen his true appearance have already left this world, and this nickname was thus coined.”

  Here is the translation:

  "Up to this point, a hint of reminiscence flashed across Old Barte's eyes. He paused for a moment before continuing: 'As for this mysterious powerhouse, most people are skeptical about him. If it weren't for the fact that many years ago, he had a great battle with Yun Xiao Fa Sheng, nobody would have known that such a person existed. Most people only know that after the battle between Blood Burier and Yun Xiao Fa Sheng, the two of them seemed to have reached some sort of agreement, and then Blood Burier disappeared from everyone's sight, never to be seen again.'"

  After saying this, Old Barte looked at Lin Feng and said seriously: "It can be said that on the entire mainland, there are only two Saint Realm experts! From this point of view, it is thousands or even tens of thousands of times more difficult for a warrior to cultivate to the Saint Realm than a magician! Of course, it is said that the Popes of the Holy See and the Dark Church also possess the power of the Saint Realm, but these two people rarely take action. After all, things that can make them take action are earth-shattering events, so the strength of the two Popes is just speculation."

  "But... although I have a good talent, it's not necessarily possible for me to reach the holy realm, right? After all, there are many people in history who have better talents than mine." Lin Feng raised his final question.

  "But you're different, don't forget that you're also a magician! The warrior's talent is so good, I think the magician's talent won't be bad either?" Old Barte reminded: "Moreover, Carson didn't know about your magician identity before, and he directly offered an invitation based on your warrior talent alone. Think carefully, kid, having the potential to become a strong Holy Domain is such a precious thing!"

  When Lin Feng heard Old Man Bart's words, he nodded thoughtfully and then fell silent.

  Lao Bate glanced at Lin Feng and said with profound meaning: "Being able to establish a connection with a Saint Domain expert is something that everyone dreams of! Let me remind you, youngster, the current continent is not as calm as it seems on the surface..."

  ……

  The Fear Forest in Old Barte's mouth is located on the east side of the Imperial Capital, and it is called this name because there is a small lake deep in the forest, which is the most dangerous place within the entire Imperial Capital.

  It is said that long, long ago, this land originally had no trees, only a small lake lying alone there. This land was granted to a nobleman, who planned to build his mansion on the edge of the small lake. However, just as construction began, the people building the mansion mysteriously died one by one, without even leaving behind their corpses. When the nobleman learned of this news, he immediately became enraged and insisted on investigating until the truth was revealed.

  According to the builders, all those who died mysteriously went to the edge of this small lake. They either went to fetch water or wanted to take a refreshing bath, but these people disappeared in the small lake without exception!

  The nobleman immediately locked onto the small lake and, surrounded by a group of guards, quickly arrived at its edge. At that time, he was furious as he walked towards the small lake, and in the eyes of the guards, personally entered into the water. He said at the time: "You all wait on the shore, I want to see what secrets this damn little lake is hiding!"

  But a strange thing happened at this time...... A minute passed, two minutes passed, and these guards still didn't find out that their master had gone ashore. They all knew that their master was a warrior with sixth-level strength!

  Finally, the captain of the guard, who had great warrior strength at the time, could no longer stand still. After a brief handover, he also quickly walked into the lake water. However, like their master, this captain of the guard did not come up again after entering the lake water.

  The news of the lake's murder immediately spread, and when it reached the imperial court, it immediately enraged the emperor at that time - how could his personally appointed noble die so unclearly?

  Soon, under the emperor's anger, two ninth-level warriors sent over also walked into this small lake together, but the result of the two was the same as that of the nobleman, and after walking in, they never came out again.

  After this incident, the Emperor finally understood the severity of the situation. Even a 9th-level great warrior couldn't come up, which shows how dangerous the small lake is! Go ask for help from the strong in the Sacred Domain? The Emperor doesn't have the confidence! Even if he could invite them to come, he didn't have the courage to let the strong of the Sacred Domain gamble, after all, the Beastmen's side was still stirring...

  The emperor immediately ordered the news about Xiaohu to be blocked, and a large number of trees were planted around Xiaohu in an attempt to isolate the bad luck it brought to the imperial capital.

  Even if the emperor blocked the news, after all, there is no wall in the world that does not leak wind. In a period of time later, Xiaohu's affairs were spread far and wide. Some said that Xiaohu must be hiding some heavenly artifacts, some said that Xiaohu was inhabited by a sacred domain demon beast, and others said that there must be some strange power in the lake. Whoever gets the power from the lake can dominate the mainland...

  Although everyone knows the danger of the small lake, there are still many people who like to "gamble" and under this atmosphere, many powerful people are ready to "try their luck". Among these people, from the 9th level warrior to the ordinary civilian, even a 9th level magician came.

  But these people walked into the lake and never came ashore again...

  With this incident, everyone finally fell silent, no one knew what secrets the small lake hid, but almost everyone knew that the small lake had become a killing lake, and perhaps... only strong people from the holy land could enter it safely and leave with ease?

  After a long time of accumulation, this lake finally had a name - Lake of Fear.

  The forest surrounding Lake Fear is called the Forest of Fear.

  And now, Old Bate has disappeared into the Fear Forest with Lin Feng's back view...
