Wizard: Fusing Everything

...

"Ugh... retch~"

A slender figure knelt on the ground amidst a pool of blood, continuously vomiting dirty substances.

Corpses and flames were everywhere.

"Damn! What a crappy time travel, just went to take a shit and what the hell happened to me!"

Lin Suo wiped his mouth, his eyes filled with despair.

A blue and white striped hospital gown completely mismatched with the battlefield covered in dead bodies.

In just a short moment, he had accepted the fact that he had traveled through time.

There's no denying it!

This place isn't safe, I must leave.

Who knows when the people cleaning up the battlefield will arrive.

Struggling to get up, he glanced over the bodies with tragic death expressions, blond-haired and blue-eyed, armored and long swords, and many horses' carcasses and remaining arrow clusters.

Entirely different from his Easterner appearance with black hair and black eyes.

These people had colorful and green hair, he wondered if it was dyed.

Lin Suo picked up a cross long sword from the side.

Using it as a crutch, he staggered towards the outside.

He had been in a car accident last month, his right leg was fractured, three ribs were broken, there was internal bleeding, and he exhausted all his savings barely managing to be rescued.

He never imagined that the accident didn't take his life, but instead, after lying in the hospital for a month, he got taken away while taking a shit.

Time travel even came with a delay.

Damn it!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Still, the travel remained, with a different appearance and an uncommunicable language, dropping into a battlefield, how was he supposed to survive? Ah! Can you tell me how?

Not even one Golden Finger.

Damn!

Tooru Amamiya · Lin · Walnut · Suo: Save me.

As he constantly lamented his fate in his mind, strands of golden threads seemed to come out of nowhere, flowing into his body.

This sensation was like bliss seeping into his soul.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

"What's going on..."

Not feeling anything different, Lin Suo stopped to examine the details of his body.

Yet, there was still no feeling.

"Just a false alarm? Don't mess with me."

At this moment.

Lin Suo's vision went dark and he collapsed onto the ground, unconscious.

In a pitch-dark space.

It seemed to be the depths of his Conscious Sea.

A Magic Cube-like object, radiating golden light, floated at the center.

His virtual phantom body unknowingly, with thoughts ceased, involuntarily reached out with his index finger to touch the golden Magic Cube.

In an instant, the golden light surged.

An endless stream of information poured into his mind. Lin Suo didn't remember much, or rather, couldn't remember at all.

Only fragments remained.

All Things Synthesis.

With every synthesis, there was something to gain.

With every practice, there was improvement.

...

Outside, the sound of horseshoes echoed, a fully armed cavalry troop rushed to the battlefield, the leader nearly two meters tall, with bulging muscles, extremely menacing.

When he saw the ground full of corpses, he yelled furiously.

"Madich, hurry back to Charon! Inform Earl Seth, the border garrison has been ambushed by damn people from the forest, request for reinforcements."

"Others, clean up the battlefield, look for survivors and military weapons to take back to the camp, burn the corpses on-site, and make sure none are missed."

"Understood, Sir Knight."

The hundred-man squad quickly sprang into action; their movements were sharp and clean, unaffected by the armor they wore, a testament to their elite status.

Before the sun set, all the corpses on the battlefield were dealt with.

Burning in the flames, nearly a thousand bodies emitted thick, black smoke, a heavy toll of death and injury.

The so-called woodland people were not savages, but well-equipped and trained, yet they served the Woodlands Earl.

The armor bore a family emblem, three trees.

The Woodlands Earl and the Seth Earl, whose domains were at the edges of two great kingdoms, were border-guarding lords with frequent conflicts and local wars.

But like today's casualties, it was the first time, and there was a very high possibility that the opposition would choose an all-out war, which is why the captain of this scouting vanguard was so furious.

At this moment,

A cavalryman approached the captain from behind.

"Lord Gray has captured a survivor, doesn't look like one of ours, nor a woodland person."

"Bring him here."

The unconscious fellow was naturally Lin Suo, who had been mentally impacted by the Magic Cube and had been unconscious for a day without waking.

Gray frowned, looking at Lin Suo, dressed in blue and white striped hospital clothes, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Seeing Gray hesitate, the running cavalry soldier courageously speculated,

"My lord, could this man be a spy from another country, dressed so scantily, it's indecent."

"It's none of your business, you understand nothing."

Gray glared, his eyes like large bells.

He grabbed Lin Suo's hair, which had grown long from hospitalization, and interrogated,

"Just look at him."

"Black hair, black pupils, refined facial bones, small stature, revealing clothing, exquisite fabric material; aren't these characteristics obvious enough?"

The running cavalry exclaimed,

"A man from Dan Dong?"

"Lord Gray, could this be a Dan Dong merchant who accidentally entered the battlefield? We can't afford to provoke them."

"Hehe."

"You don't understand, take him down and take good care of him, when he wakes up, tell him that the woodland people stole his goods, and when Seth Earl's troops arrive, send a team to escort him to the Charon external embassy."

"Do you need me to remind you of the specifics?"

"Understood!"

The running cavalry chuckled as well,

"Dan Dong Empire is not to be trifled with; woodland people disturbed a squirrel's nest, daring to lay hands on a Dan Dong merchant, they won't last any longer."

"Good that you understand, go now."

"Understood, my lord!"

The unconscious Lin Suo, unable to speak the language, was unaware that he had been assigned the identity of a Dan Dong Traveling Merchant.

For the kingdoms, the Empire is an undeniable superior.

They are simply not comparable in scale.

The Dan Dong Empire has a prosperous commerce; its merchants, numerous, travel between nations, amassing global wealth, their advanced equipment and industrial systems bring powerful military capacity, exquisite food, textiles, and various novel gadgets.

All are the most sought-after trends among the kingdom's nobility.

Thus, Dan Dong merchants are extremely popular in every kingdom and empire, bringing characteristic products from Dan Dong to the world.

Holding significant wealth, they aid in the development of the Dan Dong Empire, enjoy high status, most with noble titles.

A Kingdom's Duke might not be recognized by the Empire.

But an Empire Duke is undeniably acknowledged by all kingdoms.

The Physical Persuasion is no joke.

Dan Dong Empire is also highly united and protective of its own; if a merchant encounters trouble and there's no acceptable explanation, that territory will be deemed a barbarous land.

No merchant is allowed to venture there.

This is economic and also military sanction.

The former incurs no cost, a benefit policy for Dan Dong merchants, while the latter requires the troubled merchant to contribute a "huge" amount of wealth to the empire as military funds.

Encouraging commercial economy, yet recklessly harvesting wealth.

Such actions, far from being resisted, are actually embraced by Dan Dong merchants; spending money to get things done is the least cost for them.

There is nothing more wonderful in the world than this.
