Chapter 355: Chapter 29: The End

Underground City, Trading Area.

With Yina’s soul body released, the restless Underground City returned to tranquility.

“Try Hawke’s Iron Head Hammer, you shabby skeleton!”

“That’s mine!”

“No one is allowed to snatch the soul mark that’s delivered to me!”

Although the incident was sudden, the adventurers in the Underground City are seasoned in battle, quickly organizing a fight after a brief chaos, leaving a field of dead spirit corpses.

“Leggo!”

Lynch had just returned to the agreed meeting point in the Underground City when he heard Sirius shout from behind, followed by his three teammates rushing towards him.

Sirius asked with concern, “Are you okay? We couldn’t find you and thought something happened.”

Lynch shook his head and spoke, “I forgot to keep track of the time, sorry for keeping you waiting.”

“Not really.”

Sirius shook his head, then looked at Lynch with a perplexed expression.

The scene was extremely chaotic, facing the countless dead spirits, everyone was forced into battle, but Lynch didn’t seem like he had just participated in a battle, not even the arrows in his arrow quiver were short in number.

He wondered, “Didn’t you fight? You don’t look like someone who just dealt with dead spirits.”

Triss was also perplexed, but what caught her curiosity was the slight spiritual power she sensed on Lynch, something a mortal shouldn’t possess.

Lynch shook his head, casually explaining, “No, there were too many adventurers around, and before I got involved the dead spirits were already eliminated by them.”

While speaking, he also gathered the overflowing spiritual power.

“I see…”

So Sirius did not delve deeper.

After staying in the Underground City for two more days, on the third morning, Lynch followed the adventurer team to conclude their mission, embarking on the return journey, and managed to complete the task at the guild before its closure by dusk.

Over three days, the four collected over a thousand soul marks, mostly low-level ones which didn’t sell for much, but divided among them, each could get close to one gold coin.

After deducting weapon wear and Badge Magic Stone costs, at least fifty to sixty silver coins came into hand, a truly high income.

Leaving the Adventurer Guild.

“Haha!”

Sirius laughed aloud, constantly tossing the heavy money pouch in his hand. Given his background, this amount wasn’t much, but the satisfaction from earning enough money with his own skills was irreplaceable.

He said, “Folks, you guys don’t have much going on next, right? How about we go to the adventurer tavern for a drink? Celebrate the successful completion of our first adventure!”

Lynch shrugged, “I’m up for it.”

Triss said, “Whatever.”

Only Hilia hesitated, since according to the teachings of the Light Church, priests aren’t supposed to drink alcohol.

It’s worth mentioning that this rule wasn’t decided by Lynch. In fact, after setting up the framework for the Church, he stopped managing it, allowing it to develop its own rules and decisions.

Sirius hurriedly said, “Come on, you can eat if not drinking!”

“Well… alright.”

The group walked across the long street, and after six years of development, Feiyan City had drastically changed from before.

First was the influx of a large population; six years ago, Feiyan City’s population was only 300,000, mostly farmers living on the outskirts and only coming to the city for trade. Now the population under Feiyan City’s jurisdiction surpassed a million, with over 500,000 residing in the city, more than double.

With such massive population growth, city construction had to keep up. Greywell organized manpower for new city development beyond the original walls, building roads, digging canals, constructing new housing, etc., expanding Feiyan City’s scale by more than double its previous size.

People’s lives became vibrant and diverse.

Feiyan City’s main population used to be farmers, mostly farming and occasionally visiting the city for circus performances during trade times. At night, there were gatherings around campfires in villages and towns.

Now, with the influx of adventurous money-spenders residing in the city, new markets like theaters, duel arenas, tailors offering beautiful clothes, taverns, and inns proliferated.

Previously, the town had little nightlife, with few people seen on the streets after dark. Now, the city has a specialized night market open until midnight, with minstrels often performing under the Old Oak Tree at street corners, with priests occasionally preaching Church teachings and entertainers performing at the square.

Before, there was no talk of security, with people going missing even in broad daylight. Now, City Guards patrol 24/7, even young girls freely roaming the streets after dark.

The citizens living in this city could clearly feel the era’s change and progress.

Sirius looked at the bustling street ahead, unable to resist sighing, “You know, I was here six years ago as a child, joining my father for a banquet.”

“Back then, this place felt chaotic, with few people seen at this time, only a few drifters huddled in dark alleys for warmth. How could it be bustling like now? I can’t believe it’s the same city.”

Hilia nodded in agreement, “Yes, when I was a child, my mom frequently warned me not to go out after dark. I never thought the place where I live would become so vibrant.”

“This is just six years, what change will come in the next six years?”

Yes,

what change will come in the next six years for this city?

Lynch was equally curious.

…

Misty Valley, Guardian Tower.

In the quiet room, space suddenly twisted, and the next second, a figure gracefully descended from the void.

At the moment of descent, Lynch’s form rapidly transformed.

His bones cracked like a glacier splitting, his previously shrunken frame grew taller. As his shoulder blades expanded to a broad adult curvature, his skeletal frame regained its past large stature.

Freckles faded from his face, and rough dark skin turned fair. Silver grey seeped from his hair roots, extending quickly to waist-length.

In an instant, the honest young farmer disappeared, replaced by an aloof youth with a forbidding aura.

“Szzzz…”

Lynch waved his fingertip through the air, tearing open a space crack, and retrieved a cloak to drape over himself, completing his transformation.

“Having a Space Node sure is convenient.”

Having been drinking merrily with adventurers in the tavern moments ago, he’s now back in the Wizard Tower miles away, thanks to the ease of Space Magic.

Over six years, with adventurers constantly exploring, Lynch unlocked more space knowledge from the knowledge fragments, further enhancing the Teleportation Domain, increasing his original ten space coordinates to dozens covering his Witch Domain’s lands.

His Witch Domain size was, in fact, determined by the current maximum coverage of the Teleportation Domain, totaling over a thousand square kilometers, strategically placing space coordinates every ten kilometers, allowing instant teleportation to anywhere in the domain.

“Ka-da!”

At this moment, a light sound came from outside, the door was opened, Little Annie appeared at the doorway, holding an odd rag doll.

“Teacher, have you returned?”
