Chapter Fourteen Decision

  After saying that, Lin Feng casually picked another dog tail grass from the lawn and put it in his mouth, turned around and started walking back towards Old Karl's house.

  With the idea that "after all, this life of mine was picked up for nothing", Lin Feng finally determined his life goal.

  First and foremost, the most important thing is to make oneself strong as soon as possible. Lin Feng deeply understood that no matter where he was, his own strength was the most important thing. Only by constantly getting stronger could he live freely with his own will, otherwise, without strength, everything would be empty talk!

  Lin Feng quickly returned to Old Karl's home, and he was still thinking about how to get Nina's forgiveness on the way, but when he entered the house, he suddenly found that there was no one inside.

  At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly knew that Old Karl and his mother must be looking for him.

  As he thought of this, he suddenly realized that he had found a secluded place to "smoke a cigarette" in his moment of depression. For him, it was an old habit that didn't feel out of place after all these years, but for Nina, it was a deep hurt...

  "Mother must be worried to death now!"

  Lin Feng muttered a sentence and became somewhat annoyed, scratching his hair. He was used to living an idle and free life in his previous life, so he didn't consider Nina's feelings this time. Now that he found no one in the room, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

  Living with his mother Nina for ten years, Lin Feng had gradually become accustomed to the life in this other world. This seemingly calm and strong but actually self-abased and weak mother had also deeply imprinted herself on his heart. At this moment, he could clearly understand Nina's anxious mood.

  "What should I do? How can I get in touch with them..."

  Lin Feng sat down on the grass in front of the house with a plop, took a deep breath and thought about how to contact Old Karl and Nina. After thinking quietly for almost a minute, Lin Feng finally came up with an idea.

  That's using Fireball Technique!

  Last night, Old Karl told him that when a magician casts magic, it will produce a certain amount of magical fluctuations, leaving behind magical traces. To determine whether a war involves magicians or not, another magician needs to sense whether there are any magical traces left on the battlefield. The range of this perception depends on the height and depth of the magician's spiritual power.

  But Old Karl, as a great magician, shouldn't be able to get too far away from this gathering... He must have sensed his own Fireball Technique, right?

  Thinking of this, Lin Feng began to concentrate his energy, silently reciting the fireball spell that Old Karl had taught him last night. This was his first time using magic, and he couldn't help but feel a thread of tension in his heart.

  The incantation of the fireball technique was extremely simple, and in just a moment, Lin Feng had already finished reciting it silently. Along with this, a small fireball slowly condensed and appeared before his eyes. Lin Feng immediately felt that his spiritual energy was starting to flow out slowly as the fireball condensed. Finally, when the fireball had condensed to about half the size of his palm, Lin Feng felt that the loss of his spiritual energy had stopped.

  Looking at the small fireball in front of him, Lin Feng felt that this fireball was like a part of his own body and could be controlled at will. With his current spiritual power, controlling this small fireball was no longer a difficult task for him. He felt that the fireball could be made bigger, or he could control two or more fireballs simultaneously.

  Controlling the fireball to dance around in a circle, Lin Feng suddenly realized that the distance he could control this fireball was three meters. In other words, the small fireball he had cast out could be controlled at will within a radius of three meters from his own center, but as it continued to dance, its energy was slowly decreasing bit by bit.

  After controlling the fireball to fly in two circles, the fireball has already shrunk by two circles.

  Lin Feng took a deep breath and slammed the fireball onto the lawn not far in front of him.

  The fireball's temperature wasn't that high, and when it landed on the lawn, it only burned some dry grass before slowly going out. This was far inferior to the fire magic Old Hill had used to kill Big Hans in the tavern.

  After releasing this fireball technique, Lin Feng sat down on the spot and slowly waited for Old Karl to find him.

  ……

  On the other side of the woods, Old Karl was dragging a frantic Nina hastily towards home.

  "Sir, has the worst-case scenario already occurred?"

  Nina said something to Karl as she ran, but couldn't hide the panic and worry in her voice.

  Old Karl's face was stern, staring straight ahead, and muttered: "I don't know if it is or not, but I can feel the magical fluctuations coming from the direction of our house."

  "That might be another magician for all I know!" Nina tried to comfort herself with these words.

  "Hmph, do you think there are as many magicians as warriors? You should know that in our entire empire, there are less than two thousand magicians!" Karl said with a bad tone, then paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, and continued: "The magical fluctuation I sensed was very weak, only about level 2, and it's fire magic. Considering all these points, it should be that little guy."

  "I hope my child won't encounter any danger." Nina saw old Karl get angry and didn't dare to continue speaking, she could only silently comfort herself: "May the God of Light bless."

  Lin Feng sat on the lawn, getting more and more anxious. It had been almost a minute since he released that fireball technique, but he still hadn't seen his mother or Old Karl's figure. His heart was filled with worry.

  He gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, just as he was about to release another fireball technique, when he finally heard his mother's voice coming from a not-too-distant position behind him.

  "My child, it's great that you're okay!"

  Turning around, Lin Feng saw Nina rushing towards him with a look of urgency on her face. Behind her, Old Karl had stopped in his tracks and was slowly walking towards him.

  At his age, Old Karl could no longer run for long periods of time like young people, and besides, a wizard's body was originally weak, this long run had already made him feel somewhat unbearable.

  Lin Feng hurriedly walked towards Nina and said seriously: "Mother, I'm sorry."

  "My child, waaah, I thought I'd never see you again."

  Nina seemed not to have heard Lin Feng's words, and she squatted down and hugged him into her own arms. Tears had already slid down from her cheeks, and due to the intense emotions, her voice was even indistinct: "Woo... it's really great to see you..."

  "Sorry, mom."

  Lin Feng tightly hugged Nina as well, he could feel her body trembling with fear.

  Old Karl finally walked to Lin Feng and his mother, hands on hips, panting heavily: "Alright, alright, little guy, hurry up and roll back home, huff... don't let me lose sight of you again!"

  "I'm sorry, teacher, this time I really made you and mom worry."

  Lin Feng's words were very serious, no longer with the carefree tone of before, because he could see the fatigue in Old Karl.

  This old man, who had only known himself for less than a day, was able to disregard his frail body and run around everywhere in search of him. Just this alone was enough to capture Lin Feng's heart.

  "Alright, no more nonsense! This old body of mine almost fell apart today thanks to you. Now come with me back to the house and practice your magic properly. From now on, don't even think about leaving my line of sight within a 10-meter radius!"

  Old Karl took two deep breaths before waving his hand impatiently at Lin Feng.

  But Lin Feng heard Karl's words and his heart moved, saying a sentence that made Nina and Old Karl almost drop their jaws:

  "Mother, teacher, after a while I think I'll go learn martial arts. I feel that the path of magic isn't suitable for me."
