Chapter 505: Chapter 37: The Good Wizard in Lynch’s Eyes

Erwin had left, leaving only Julia and the carriage in the clearing.

Inside the carriage, the candlelight flickered, casting a pale flame on Lynch’s stern face, making his already cold demeanor appear even colder.

“Sss sss!”

The faint rustling of paper brushed over the pages, accompanied by the whispering night breeze, apart from which the entire forest was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

After a brief silence…

“M… master!” Julia’s trembling voice arose.

At this moment, she had entirely lost the arrogance she usually held, lowering her head while standing in front of Lynch, trembling all over, like a child awaiting punishment from their parents.

Lynch put down the book, looked up, and his gaze fell on Julia.

He said indifferently, “Tell me, what happened?”

Soon after leaving the market, Lynch received a message from Erwin on his way back, informing him that Julia might be in danger and requesting his assistance.

It just so happened that Lynch’s angel had reached near completion, so he decisively deployed Gabriel and Lucifer to test their combat effectiveness, which led to the earlier scene.

From beginning to end, Julia’s safety factor had always been under his control. Nevertheless, he was quite curious about how this local he had promoted managed to stir up such a mess.

Now, under Lynch’s gaze, Julia felt a chill in her heart, quickly taking a deep breath and recounting the entire incident in detail.

“It was Father Yodel, I didn’t know he was a traitor…”

“He deceived me, telling me that the Ivory Tower intended to submit to us. I thought this was a chance to grow the Church, so I came over, only to be caught off guard…”

“It’s all that damned traitor’s fault…”

Julia explained the situation to Lynch fairly clearly, though she obviously exaggerated in her account, shifting all the blame onto Father Yodel while absolving herself entirely.

“That’s basically how it is…” Julia finished her account.

Lynch was silent for a moment.

In fact, Erwin had already reported the general situation to him before, which sounded similar to what Julia said, but in reality, the essence was vastly different. How could Lynch not realize that Julia was shirking responsibility?

The root cause of the current result was fundamentally her greed, disregarding the originally arranged process, insisting on alone contact with the other party. Anyone could tell this was merely for personal gain. Fresh chapters posted on novel_fіre.net

“How did such a change come about?”

Lynch remembered when he first encountered this young girl; she was basically an innocent apprentice, swept along with her companions, becoming an attendant, with evasive eyes, tense demeanor, and clumsy actions, showing no sign of scheming.

Seeing her again, while there seemed to be some change in her aura, her personality hadn’t drastically altered; she was just as simple.

Having been an apprentice for so long, she had kept consistent, but after gaining high position, she seemed to change entirely.

Reflecting on this, Lynch said indifferently, “Understood.”

Seeing no change in Lynch’s expression, Julia slightly sighed in relief, thinking she had bluffed her way through.

But at that moment.

“Snap!”

A crisp snapping sound suddenly echoed near Julia’s ears.

Hearing this sound, Julia’s heart skipped a beat.

Before she could come to her senses, there came a ripping sound, and the clothes on her body tore into shreds, without a stitch left.

“Ah!”

Julia screamed, instinctively lifting her hands to cover her body, but just then, Lynch raised his hand, and with a casual grip, an invisible force field swept towards Julia’s neck, constricting it bit by bit.

At that moment, Julia could care about nothing else, hastily reaching her hands toward her neck.

However, before Lynch’s spiritual power, she could touch or grasp nothing, only feeling the force tightly pressing against the skin on her neck, like an invisible giant hand relentlessly squeezing inward.

“Ugh… ugh… ah…”

Julia’s throat emitted unconscious raspy noises, her face deepening to a crimson hue, her eyes bulging and starting to roll upwards, her brain starved of oxygen, leaving her mind a blank void.

Seeing she was about to lose consciousness and be left hanging there, luckily at that moment, Lynch relaxed his tightly clenched right hand, and with that casual gesture, the invisible force at Julia’s neck dissipated.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

Regaining her breath, Julia knelt on the ground, coughing uncontrollably, her lower body soaked from losing control of her bladder, appearing utterly humiliated and disheveled, like a beggar in the streets, far removed from the high and mighty Holy Daughter of Light.

Despite this, she immediately bowed her head to Lynch, repeatedly knocking her forehead against the ground with a teary voice, “Thank… thank you, master, considering the goddess, thank you for sparing me, thank you, master! Julia, Julia dares not again.”

Lynch, without lifting his head, said, “Recognize your position, measure your weight, think well about whether your current status is earned by your capabilities or given by others. Being conceited leads nowhere good!”

Concerning this second-generation saintess event, Lynch had heard more than once. Compared to the amiable Alya, this Julia was much more arrogant, stirring up a mess since taking the stage.

Constantly emphasizing her status, centralizing the Church Court’s power, strengthening her authority, concerning herself daily with infighting rather than spiritual duties, acting more like a power player than a saint.

The chaos she caused led many within the Church Court to voice their displeasure; continuing like this was bound to cause further trouble, and tonight’s event was a typical example.

Julia pressed her forehead strongly against the ground, “Yes, Julia promises the goddess she will not make the same mistake again.”

Lynch casually threw Julia a cloak, “Enough, leave now.”

It was excessive, but Lynch wasn’t planning to replace her for that reason — first, the saintess role is foundational to the Church Court, not something to be frequently swapped.

Moreover, Julia had her advantages.

Her strong ambition brewed an expanding desire, which in turn, became a drive prompting the Church Court’s vigorous progress, something Alya’s lack of desire couldn’t compare to.

Currently, the Church is in a growth period, having a leader like this could certainly aid in its outward expansion.

In conclusion,

to Lynch, right or wrong held little significance; he didn’t care if his subordinates were just or evil, as long as they were useful.

White Wizard or Black Wizard, one that could develop the Witch Domain was a good wizard.
