Chapter 441: Chapter 6: Learning the Truth

The silver hair retracted, replaced by ink-like black hair.

The tall and broad bones shrank inward, quickly reverting to a slender and thin figure. The sternness on the face vanished, replaced by a gentle and amiable one.

The only thing that remained unchanged were those gray eyes, still dazzling and striking.

In a moment, the previously stern and sharp image was replaced by a figure full of elegant charm.

Julia’s body shook heavily.

How could she possibly forget this handsome face before her eyes? Almost uncontrollably, she exclaimed, “It’s you!”

Lynch smiled warmly, “Long time no see, Julia.”

Julia’s breathing quickened, a wave of crimson uncontrollably rushing up her fair neck.

It’s him!

The true master behind the powerful extraordinary forces of Feiyan City, the supreme Guardian of this Witch Domain, the renowned Second Order Wizard in the Jade Land, the mighty Lord Saphiros Alsaas Diablo…

The top prodigy among the younger generation in the land of Ancient Relics, the youngest Wizard of the Shadow Tower in a century, an anomaly rivaling countless pureblood noble prodigies with a muggle identity…

They were actually the same person!!!

In an instant, the once unbelievable past flickered in Julia’s mind, all those things that seemed strange at the time now found their answers.

Why the Guardian mastered Undead Magic and possessed the same Dragon Attribute modified life…

Why the Guardian was also skilled in swordsmanship…

So that’s it! So that’s it! So that’s how it is! They are indeed the same person!

Julia opened her mouth wide but couldn’t speak.

Lynch raised his eyebrows, “What’s the matter?”

Finally, Julia snapped back to reality from shock, hurriedly saying, “No… I’m just… just too surprised! Too surprised!”

“You…”

“How could you… You actually are… You and the Guardian are actually the same person! How could this be…”

Lynch shrugged, “It’s a long story, my situation is a bit special, because of the incident at the Punishment Square…”

“In short, my identity can’t be used for the time being, so I need to cover it up a bit.”

Julia suddenly understood.

She wasn’t foolish by any means. Hearing Lynch mention the Punishment Square incident, of course, she figured it out, especially since that most wanted order back then was issued throughout the land of Ancient Relics. She had witnessed it herself.

Julia said, “I see, no wonder, I understand now.”

Lynch blinked with a touch of humor, casually saying, “So, regarding my identity, you need to keep it secret, understand?”

As he spoke, he covertly cast a spell of [Soul Resonance] in his words.

This spell had reached the peak of mastery for him; it only needed a thought, a sound, to embed his will silently into the listener’s mind, exerting control over their will.

Under the effects of this spell, despite the seemingly entrusting tone, Lynch had secretly imposed his will, a deeply rooted thought in the soul that Julia couldn’t resist unless she reached the Second Order level.

Julia quickly nodded, “I swear!”

Lynch nodded, then pointed to a chair beside him, “Sit down, let’s chat slowly.”

Then, he snapped his fingers, summoning a pot of tea, pouring a cup for both Julia and himself.

While sipping his tea, Lynch asked, “Tell me, how did you end up here? I heard from Saul that you fled here due to unrest in your homeland. Did something happen in the land of Ancient Relics?”

This puzzled Lynch considerably; Julia, although not exceptionally gifted, was an apprentice with a clear identity in a reliable Wizard Organization. How did she suddenly fall into a situation where she had to escape the land of Ancient Relics to make a living so far away?

It’s important to know that the land of Ancient Relics and the Jade Land were separated by an entire ruined ancient city. He could easily traverse it only because of his Second Order strength.

Julia, as an apprentice, would indeed risk death coming through there.

“This…”

Julia hesitated for a moment, then sighed, “The land of Ancient Relics is doomed…”

Lynch was stunned.

Julia proceeded to elaborate in detail, “Shortly after you left…”

Consequently, Lynch learned the whole story from Julia, finally understanding why these apprentices willingly risked life and limb to traverse the vast ruins and come to the chaotic Jade Land…

As Julia recounted her story, Lynch’s expression rapidly changed. Shock at first, then puzzlement, eventually furrowing his brows tightly.

“…then we had no choice. To escape the Freemasonry Church’s hunting, we were forced to flee the land of Ancient Relics. At that time, we were already in the land of Ruins, and after many turns, we arrived here in the Jade Land, finally settling down here.”

Lynch furrowed his brows tightly, still looking somewhat incredulous.

He asked, “You mean… Wise Man Erodion is the true controlling figure behind the Freemasonry Church, and he orchestrated the war, toppling the entire pureblood class of the land of Ancient Relics, declaring war on all Wizard Families?”

This was truly shocking.

Erodion!

The Witch Master of the Shadow Tower, a powerful Third-tier Wizard hailed as the Wise Man.

He…

As the highest echelon of the ruling class in the land of Ancient Relics, he stood at the opposition of the ruling class of the entire land of Ancient Relics, toppling that order!

Julia nodded, “Yes, it’s Lord Erodion.”

Though her original life was thus disrupted, being hunted, fleeing, far from home, and living through a series of quite miserable times,

Julia bore hardly any hatred towards Wise Man Erodion.

Mainly because the level difference was too vast. The chasm existing between that level of characters and her was insurmountable; she couldn’t even see them.

Such a gap rendered her incapable of even basic hatred.

It was like a natural disaster hitting, and what meaning does it bear for insignificant beings to hate a natural disaster?

Lynch furrowed his brows deeply.

He suddenly recalled the Wizard from the Truth Church he met years ago while traveling in the Seven Kingdoms, who expressed some unfavorable opinions about Erodion during a casual chat. Back then, Lynch thought it was just a personal grudge, but now it seemed there might be more to it than that…

Moreover…

Lynch’s brow twitched, “I have a question.”

“If such a war happened…”

He asked, “What happened to the Tavendish family?”
