Chapter 345 Family Records (Part 2)

The guards seemed somewhat surprised by the two's travel-worn return, but Yun Muhan and Lin Yi presented the passes they had prepared beforehand. After the guards checked them and found nothing amiss, they were allowed to enter the city without any problems.

Upon entering the city, they immediately blended into the crowd, trying their best not to attract attention.

They walked through the bustling market, where the cries of vendors and the sounds of bargaining filled the air, and bypassed the crowded streets, finally arriving at an inconspicuous alley.

The alleyway is quiet and secluded, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside.

Lin Yi tapped a stone on the wall a few times, a subtle signal indicating that they were friends, not enemies.

A small door opened silently, and they quickly entered. The door then closed behind them, shutting out the noise and potential dangers of the outside world.

This is a safe house that Lin Yi arranged in advance, a place known only to a very small number of people trusted by the family. The interior is simply furnished, but safe enough, with no unnecessary decorations, only the necessary furniture and facilities.

There might be a few paintings hanging on the walls to conceal possible entrances or safes, and some reserve supplies in the corner for emergencies.

They can rest here and plan their next move. The safe house provides a private space where they can relax and discuss their findings and future plans.

Here, they can temporarily escape the threat of their pursuers, recover their strength, and prepare to face the challenges ahead.

Yun Muhan and Lin Yi knew that although they had returned to the city, their mission was far from over.

They need to carefully plan how to use the knowledge and power they have discovered in the "Forgotten Land" to protect their family's heritage and find their way home.

Yun Muhan unloaded the materials, and his body finally relaxed a little. "We're safe, at least for now."

Lin Yi nodded and began preparing some simple food and water. "We need to rest and recover our strength. Then, we need to start studying these runes and patterns; they may be the key to our fight against the black-robed men."

Yun Muhan agreed to Lin Yi's suggestion. They knew that although they had returned to the city, their mission was far from over.

The threat of the Black Robes remains, and they must use the knowledge and power discovered in the laboratory to find a way to protect their family heritage and fight against the Black Robes.

Inside the safe house, Yun Muhan and Lin Yi began studying the ancient runes and patterns. They knew that exploring this knowledge might take a long time, but they were willing to put in the effort.

Yun Muhan and Lin Yi lit candles inside the safe house, the dim light illuminating their focused faces. They laid out the runes and patterns they had brought from the laboratory on the table, carefully studying every detail.

Lin Yi flipped through a tattered family heirloom, trying to find records that matched these runes. "These runes are very ancient; they may be a secret technique used by our ancestors to seal powerful forces," he explained as he studied them.

Yun Muhan gently touched the patterns on the parchment with his fingertips, sensing the subtle magical fluctuations contained within. "If we can activate these runes correctly, they could become powerful allies," he said thoughtfully.

They worked for hours until night fell again. Yun Muhan stood up and stretched his stiff body.

"We need to rest and continue tomorrow. Staying clear-headed is crucial for us."

Lin Yi nodded, closed the ancient book, and rubbed his tired eyes. "You're right. We must be in top condition to face the challenges ahead."

The two ate a simple meal and then found a place to rest. Although they were in a safe house, their sleep was still light, as they remained prepared to deal with any potential dangers.

The next day, they woke up early and continued their research. As time went on, they gradually began to understand the deeper meaning of these runes and patterns.

Yun Muhan discovered a specific rune sequence that seemed capable of unleashing powerful protective magic.

“Look at this,” he said, pointing to a series of runes on the parchment. “If we can arrange the runes in this order, it might form a protective barrier.”

Lin Yi immediately joined the experiment with excitement, and together they tried to activate the runes. After several failures and adjustments, they finally succeeded in activating a faint blue light barrier, which flickered a few times in the room before stabilizing.

"We succeeded!" Lin Yi said excitedly. "With this barrier, we have more protection."

Yun Muhan smiled with satisfaction, but he knew this was just the beginning. "We still need to conduct further research to enhance the power of this barrier and explore the abilities of other runes."

In the days that followed, Yun Muhan and Lin Yi continued experimenting and learning, gradually unlocking more of the power of the runes. They knew that this ancient knowledge would be key to their fight against the black-robed man.

At the same time, they are also planning how to apply this knowledge to actual combat and how to protect the family's heritage.
