Chapter 383: Chapter 20: An Acquaintance?

After finishing the drinks with Sirius and the others, Lynch got up and left.

Just as he stepped out of the tavern door, a group of young boys and girls walked into the tavern.

There were fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from them, clearly belonging to the Transcendents, but judging by their attire, they were obviously unrelated to the various extraordinary influences in the city. They must be the foreign apprentices Teresa mentioned earlier.

Lynch gave them a glance but didn’t pay much attention and turned to walk towards the street, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Meanwhile, this group of apprentices also walked deeper into the tavern.

Lynch’s judgment was spot-on; these apprentices were indeed the outsiders Teresa had mentioned earlier, who had wandered from Lynch’s hometown in the Ancient Ruins to here—Julia and her group.

After settling in Feiyan City, they gradually registered as adventurers, and after a few missions, they began to adapt to life here.

They were just a bunch of muggle wizards, insignificant figures in the pureblood families in the Ancient Ruins, often engaged in tasks like raising demons and planting magic plants.

Not only were the wages low, but they also had to endure the bullying of the purebloods. Though they possessed extraordinary powers, their lives were not much better than those of ordinary people.

In Feiyan City, by earning wealth through underground city adventures and purchasing necessary cultivation resources from the market—

In order to achieve integration between the Transcendents and ordinary humans, Lynch opened up the market for the circulation of extraordinary resources, so many resources needed by apprentices were no longer controlled by a single influence but circulated within the market.

The resources for these apprentices’ cultivation were just low-level ones, which could be directly purchased from the market.

Many resources were not that rare or precious; especially the lower-level ones weren’t difficult to cultivate.

In the past, in the Ancient Ruins, they seemed precious mainly because they were controlled by purebloods, with resource lands dominated by major Wizard Families, leaving little on the market.

But Lynch’s situation was different. With a shortage of Transcendents under his command, he did his utmost to cultivate and develop, ensuring every resource land was utilized to its full potential.

Many of these cultivated resources were placed on the market, and Lynch specifically established a marketplace for Transcendents, allowing them to purchase resources themselves.

Humans were really too weak. Their development of the underground city was very limited, and Lynch’s purpose in doing so was still to introduce extraordinary power to jointly develop the underground city.

It was with the existence of this marketplace that Julia and her group, upon settling in Feiyan City, could buy the necessary cultivation resources to continue their Wizard’s Road.

At first, they were not accustomed to the market rules here, but over time, they gradually adapted to this self-sufficient life, which was more comfortable than kowtowing to purebloods before.

Today, just like usual, they finished their mission and were planning to have a good drink in the tavern.

However, as they entered the tavern, Julia suddenly stopped in her tracks.

“Wait a moment!”

She seemed to have discovered something, immediately turned, and ran out after where Lynch had left.

However, after running out, Lynch was nowhere in sight on the street.

She was puzzled: “Strange, where did the person go?”

Little did she know, after stepping into the shadows, Lynch had used spatial coordinates to transfer away and was already in the Guardian Tower, preparing to take a hot bath.

“What’s wrong, Julia?”

At this moment, a voice came from behind, her companion had caught up.

Julia withdrew her gaze and shook her head: “Nothing, I seemed to have seen an acquaintance just now.”

In that brief passing moment, Julia inadvertently saw Lynch’s face, a face that left a deep impression on her.

Although the skin and temperament had changed greatly from before, the features were exactly the same.

Her companion was stunned: “An acquaintance?”

“Do you have acquaintances in this place? Isn’t it your first time here?”

Julia said: “I must have been mistaken.”

The companion’s words made her a bit unsure since logically, it indeed seemed unlikely.

But that face was too similar, and even when sitting at the table, Julia still felt puzzled, taking the opportunity to ask Teresa as she brought the drinks.

Teresa asked in confusion: “You mean the young man who just left? Carrying a bow and arrow?”

“I see, you must be talking about Legolas. He’s a Black Iron Adventurer here, a part of the Sirius Team, what about it?”

Hearing Teresa’s words, Julia completely dismissed her thoughts: “I see…”

“Nothing, I thought it was an acquaintance, but I must have been mistaken. Thank you.”

Such a powerful being, how could he just be a Black Iron Adventurer?

…

Meanwhile, in the Misty Forest, Guardian Tower.

Back in the Tower, Lynch cast a spell, [Awakening], to dispel the intoxication from his mind.

As a wizard, Lynch believed that maintaining a state of clarity was a basic professional ethic; a little drinking to cultivate elegance was fine, but letting alcohol erode the brain and paralyze the nerves was definitely not.

Sitting on the sofa, he reclined on the chair, raised his hand and waved toward the cabinet, causing the teapot and tea set to float over, delivering a cup of hot tea.

Holding the hot tea, he gazed out the window, appreciating the night while silently pondering.

With the Witch Castle, he had established a preliminary cooperation intention. Although he hadn’t reached the alliance he wanted most, this arrangement was still acceptable. Anyway, as cooperation deepened, there would be opportunities to gradually draw them in.

“Dark Moon Church…”

What he hadn’t quite anticipated was the power of the Witch Master of the Dark Moon Church. The strength gap of each arc in the Mystical level was enormous, and the gap between the early stage and the middle stage of the Mystical level was even more significant.

With his current power, facing a Mystical Wizard of this level, Lynch wasn’t very confident about securing a victory.
