Alright, Andrew admitted he felt a bit unscrupulous.

But since he still wanted to keep his true identity a secret for the time being.

There was no choice but to tell some white lies.

"Sigh, actually on the way here, I've always had a concern, which is after arriving at Warm Fire City, in case the Warm Fire Commerce Association asks about my origin—they will definitely ask—how should I respond."

Andrew thought to himself, "After all, all the things I've done so far are not something that common methods in the Flame Realm can accomplish. One or two could be let go, but as the Water Magic Lord, I've done more than just one or two things, and in the future, there will be a lot more, many more."

In brief, Andrew needed an explanation for his origin.

Now, after listening to Linda's introduction to the Retirement Land, Andrew felt a nearly perfect explanation was delivered right to him.

While nodding and saying, "Yes, I do come from the Retirement Land," Andrew could clearly feel a burst of amused emotion from Ivan, who was connected to his soul.

Ivan, knowing Andrew's true identity, naturally didn't believe he was a humanoid alien from the Retirement Land.

Of course, Ivan wouldn't have thought that Andrew was actually a transmigrator from an alternate plane either.

As for Linda, after receiving the affirmative answer, she seemed relieved and smiled: "I see, then I'm completely at ease."

There was actually a question in her heart: "Isn't the Retirement Land always neutral, not choosing sides between the Magic Guild and our Warm Fire Commerce Association? Could it be that the president, in a subtle way, not only wooed the Royal Court through the second miss's marriage but also secretly persuaded the Retirement Land?"

However, Linda swallowed this question in the end.

She positioned herself primarily as a professional healer.

She didn't want to bother much with more significant matters.

They finally reached the residence in the city where Falk, Barbara, and others stayed.

In each city, the City Guard would arrange the safest accommodation with the tightest security to ensure the safety of Barbara, the third lady of the Commerce Association.

At this moment, although still some distance away, the soldiers guarding that residence looked over with sharp eyes!

They naturally all recognized Linda.

Thus, seeing Linda's current attitude toward Andrew, their expressions couldn't help but become a bit odd, as if witnessing something incredible.

"Let's stop here." Andrew stopped, smiling as he said.

The treatments at the Warm Fire Temple not only helped the injured, earned fire extinguishing values, completed the preliminary investigation of burns, but also resulted in a significant discovery in magic.

Now it unexpectedly also solved the "personal origin explanation problem"!

Andrew was really quite satisfied.

"Yes, alright." Linda also stopped and said, "Should I report about you to my teacher when I return?"

"Oh?" Andrew couldn't help but ponder for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly nodded.

Since arriving in Warm Fire City, he planned to talk as much as possible with the upper echelons of the Commerce Association.

Getting an early opportunity to connect with the top figures in the Commerce Association's medical department was certainly a good thing.

"I just didn't expect that my initial contact with a high-ranking person of the Warm Fire Commerce Association, aside from Falk, would be in this way! It truly goes to show that plans can't keep up with changes."

Andrew smiled inwardly.

Having decided to use the medical department as the first entry point to engage and communicate more deeply with the Commerce Association's upper echelon, Andrew made up his mind after thinking it over and said: "In terms of supplementing the physical ability of the wounded, if possible, I hope to produce some special magic potions to meet the needs of more wounded. Can I trouble Captain Linda to convey this to your teacher?"

Andrew hadn't forgotten that the initial decision to go to the Warm Fire Temple with Linda was to investigate burns and the market.

Now that the investigation was done, results needed to come out of it.

Andrew's current conclusion was: supplementing the physical abilities of the injured is undoubtedly the right approach. His Water Magic has a more obvious advantage over the Fire God's Blessing series in this regard.

And even without the Water and Fire United phenomenon, supplementing physical abilities must be done.

Not only for the injured, but professionals and ordinary people of the Flame Realm also need to supplement physical abilities and improve their physical condition.

Therefore, he decided to quickly produce a magic potion that could be mass-produced.

And the injured are, without a doubt, the ones who need this batch of potions the most.

Indeed, Andrew intended to supply the injured as a priority.

"Really? You... you can produce such a potion?!" Linda was both surprised and overjoyed upon hearing this, then looked deeply at Andrew, thinking perhaps you are representing the Retirement Land to do business with the Commerce Association? But she said aloud, "Alright, I will certainly convey it to my teacher!"

"Extremely grateful." Andrew bowed.

Linda waved her hand, signaling no need for formality, and smiled as she asked, "Then... shall we meet tomorrow? What time do you get up? I'll come to pick you up."

The implication was that she would take Andrew back to the Warm Fire Temple tomorrow.

But Andrew could only shake his head helplessly: "Sorry, I have to go to Warm Fire City tomorrow. I expect to leave very early."

"Ah, is that so." Linda didn't hide her disappointment.

Andrew also felt regret.

If possible, Andrew thought being a medical team member at the Warm Fire Temple would be fulfilling and joyful.

But precisely after seeing those injured at the Warm Fire Temple, Andrew became even more determined: much more must be done!

Since he inherited the Water God's Inheritance and walked the path of the Water Magic Lord, a path created but not fully perfected by ancient water mages, he ought to do more and shoulder more responsibilities!

Because... many things, only he had the ability to do, to complete.

The best future for the Warm Fire Temple is not that all injured can receive perfect treatment, but that no injured need to be healed anymore.

For this reason, he still needed to follow his original plan to go to Warm Fire City tomorrow, to see and to talk.

"Hmm, then let's meet when we have the chance." Linda was unperturbed, "Warm Fire Temple will always welcome you!"

"Yes! Thank you!" Andrew was truly grateful for Linda's enthusiastic and adamant invitation to himself at the city gate. Otherwise, he would have missed the Warm Fire Temple, such a pure and beautiful place.

"I'll be going." Linda waved her hand and walked away.

She had been working continuously for two days and nights and planned to rest properly as Andrew suggested, as the medical team leader, after contacting her teacher.

Andrew stood where he was, watching Linda's silhouette disappear at the street corner.

Then, Andrew took a long breath.

As he turned around, his expression gradually darkened.
