Additionally, Reine instantly understood why Abel had become like this.
The pain of losing a beloved spouse must be absolutely heart-wrenching!
“Last week, Molly was killed by a cultist while she was at church,”
“What!” Reine’s pupils contracted, he hadn’t expected that among the people who died at the church last week, Molly would be one of them.
“Reine, you came this time…?”
Reine mumbled hesitantly, knowing it was not the right time to speak up, but after thinking it over, he said, “Mr. Abel, I would like to learn how to make potions…”
Abel waved his hand dismissively, “I’m not in the mood to make potions right now, let alone teach you.”
“However… if you really want to learn, you could try self-study.”
Abel took a journal from the room and said, “This contains some of my experiences in potion-making. If you truly have the talent, it should be of some help to you.”
Reine immediately took it, feeling a bit disappointed but expecting as much.
This was an unassuming black notebook with a leather cover that looked quite old in terms of material.
Furthermore, the surface of the black leather was stained with various colorful potions and the notebook was emitting an uncomfortable odor, likely due to the potion residues.
But seeing how Abel treasured it, this notebook must contain his hard work.
If it weren’t for the fact that Abel was devastated, Reine guessed that he probably wouldn’t have allowed him to have it.
“Mr. Abel, thank you very much!”
After some thought, Reine added, “Mr. Abel, if Molly was still with us, she wouldn’t want to see you in despair. I hope you can pull yourself together and continue to live well.”
…
After leaving Abel’s place, Reine went to the general store to purchase some basic apparatus for potion making.
Then, Reine returned to the storage room on the second floor of his new home, ready to try his hand at making a mutation growth potion.
At the same time…
At the entrance of Reine’s old home, an old man in a black robe and holding a wooden cane arrived. The old man wore a hood, and his face was not visible.
Looking at Reine’s old home, now deserted, a hint of confusion appeared on the old man’s face.
He thought to himself that Norman’s work was becoming increasingly unreliable.
However…
He quickly spotted a Night Watchman dressed in uniform leather armor entering Reine’s home, seeming to move something.
The old man approached and asked, “Young man, does Reine live here?”
“Oh, you know the Deputy Commander? Lord Reine has moved. Would you like me to take you there?” asked the young Night Watchman enthusiastically, apparently mistaking the old man for a friend of Reine.

“Thank you!”
The old man followed the young Night Watchman and quickly arrived near Reine’s new home.
However, just as they were about to arrive, the old man whispered, “Young man, you just had a dream, and now you’ve woken up…”
“Hmm, what did you say, old man…”
The young Night Watchman turned his head, but the moment he saw the old man’s deep eyes, he suddenly became stupefied, his eyes unfocused and his pupils dilated!
But the next second, the young Night Watchman returned to normal, showing no signs of peculiarity.
He muttered to himself for a while, then walked away on his own.
He completely forgot that he had just been guiding an old man.
The old man quickly arrived at the front door of Reine’s new home, noting the comings and goings of no less than a dozen Night Watchmen, he frowned slightly.
So many people.
This would not be an easy task…
Perhaps it was better to wait until nighttime.
But… there was still one thing he had to do…
The old man looked around and quickly noticed a little girl digging determinedly in the front yard.
“Little sister, is this Reine’s home?” the old man walked up and spoke to Bo He across the wooden fence.
When Bo He innocently looked up with her big eyes at the old man, she instantly became unfocused and numbly nodded, “Yes, grandpa.”
“Then go fetch me one of your brother Reine’s garments. If there’s hair, even better…”
“Okay, grandpa.”
Immediately, Bo He turned around and left, soon arriving at Reine’s room where she found an Egyptian linen surcoat of her brother’s and brought it down.
This scene was observed by Anna who was tidying the room, although she didn’t know what Bo He was doing with Reine’s clothes, she didn’t ask.
After Bo He handed over the linen surcoat to the old man, a few minutes passed and she shook her head, feeling dizzy and unable to remember what had happened.
And the old man disappeared into the evening sunset.
