"Are you mistrusting me?"

Adrian glanced at him, speaking plainly, "I only trust my own eyes!"

Tate's brow furrowed, unwillingly he said, "You..."

Before Tate could finish his sentence, Lynn's voice sounded.

"Scholar Adrian, you may leave now!"

Upon hearing Lynn's words, Tate immediately stopped speaking, unwilling to say more.

The scholars behind him similarly lowered their heads slightly, not daring to anger the young Lord before them.

They had come from Triumph City to the borderlands of the Empire, even without any guards.

Moreover, once they entered that city wall, they completely lost any notion of freedom!

Coupled with the cavalry clad in standard plate armor...

It would not be an exaggeration to say that they no longer had any personal freedom.

As long as the Lord before them wished, he could execute them at any moment.

Adrian furrowed his brow, staring directly at Lynn, with a humph, "Very well, my Lord, I ask you to arrange a guard to escort me back to Triumph City."

"I believe, with the Lord's boldness, you wouldn't just abandon a scholar from the Palace School of Triumph City in the wilderness outside the city wall, would you?"

Lynn nodded, "Of course not, Scholar Adrian!"

He looked to Red, "Escort Scholar Adrian on his way."

Red acknowledged and looked at the two guards.

The two guards immediately understood, stepped forward, and approached Adrian.

Lynn's gaze shifted again to Tate and the others, inquiring, "Who else wishes to return to Triumph City?"

"I can arrange your departure together with Scholar Adrian!"

The four men and women behind Tate exchanged glances but before they could speak.

Tate quickly stepped forward, speaking earnestly, "My Lord, they came to your territory at my persuasion."

"Adrian has always had such a personality, please spare him on account of my previous contributions to children's education?"

"I assure you, should there be any further disobedience or offense against you, I, Tate, will take immediate action to punish him!"

Under the guard's escort, Adrian, who had taken a few steps, suddenly halted.

His face bore a look of shock.

Adrian pleading for his life to the Lord?

Until then, he suddenly realized that the Lord had said 'escort him on his way'!

It wasn't just simply sending him back to Triumph City!

A cold sweat instantly appeared and began to spread rapidly across Adrian's back.

Lynn did not speak, and the entire audience hall fell silent.

Filled with terror, Adrian turned to face Lynn, bending his waist at a ninety-degree angle, full of apology in his voice.

"My Lord, please forgive my rudeness, I apologize for my ignorance and offense just now."

Lynn stared directly at Adrian, still without words.

Without receiving Lynn's forgiveness, Adrian maintained his posture...

Until a few seconds later, Lynn's calm voice sounded.

"Scholar Adrian, are you not planning to leave?"

Adrian quickly responded, "Yes, my Lord, Tate said there is an ongoing revolution of advanced technology, tools, and even construction in your territory."

"I want to stay."

Lynn acknowledged, saying, "Then stay, it happens that the schools in the territory need scholars like you."

Upon hearing this.

The hearts of Adrian and the other six eased slightly.

Previously, they had relied on some teaching or past savings to conduct research in Triumph City.

They had long been used to such a lifestyle.

But now, from Lynn, they once again felt the anger of a Lord.

Even though the Lord's words were calm and his demeanor unperturbed.

Yet each word and sentence exerted immense pressure upon them.

So much so that with just one thought, they could be on the brink of life and death!

Watching the six of them lower their heads in silence, enveloped in an atmosphere of tension and fear, Lynn's heart remained unmoved.

He was the Lord of this land!

Whenever he wished, he could execute anyone on this territory!

What of Adrian being a physics scholar at the Palace School in Triumph City?

If they could not be of any use to him, he could execute them at any time!

This is the audacity a Lord should possess.

Furthermore, those who don't even know the principles of leverage and work, can they still call themselves physics scholars?

Lynn looked at the six of them, speaking, "You have traveled a long way, go and take a rest."

"Later, I will need you to contribute your knowledge to the development of this land."

"Scholar Tate, you will be responsible for arranging their daily lives."

Receiving permission to withdraw, the six of them, including Tate, bent in greeting, then exited the castle.

Walking on the red brick road beneath the night sky.

Tate, with a stern expression, walked at the forefront.

Although they had known each other for years.

At this moment, they were silent, seemingly still not recovered from the Lord's oppressive presence.

After a while.

Adrian couldn't help but speak, "I apologize, Tate, I was rash."

"You all saw it too, I acknowledged my mistake and have apologized to the Lord."

At these words, the previously silent Tate couldn't help but respond sarcastically, "No, you haven't realized your mistake!"
