Chapter 381: Chapter 18: Eyes

Tarim Collette, this is the name of the Witch Master of the Dark Moon Church, a renowned Mystical Wizard in the Jade Land.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in hundreds of battles. Since deciding to take action against the Dark Moon Church, Lynch has naturally been collecting all sorts of information related to this Wizard Organization over the years.

However, the opponent is also a character who doesn’t easily reveal themselves. Despite Lynch’s investigations over the years, he has only uncovered a few sporadic words, knowing almost nothing about the opponent’s specific abilities and spells.

Kalsa shook her head and said, “I don’t know his current exact abilities. Since leaving the Tower of Nature, we haven’t really interacted much.”

Like Kalsa, Tarim was once a wizard of the Tower of Nature, and both were apprentices of Felvin, the Lord of Nature. After the collapse of the Tower of Nature, they each went their separate ways for development.

After pausing for a moment, Kalsa continued, “He was outstanding among all of us apprentices. Before leaving the Tower of Nature, he had already opened the fourth Mystical Circuit. Over these years, it’s likely he’s reached at least five circuits.”

Five circuits…

That would be the Middle Stage of Mystical Level.

Lynch nodded appreciatively, “Thank you very much.”

Now, he has at least a rough estimation of Tarim’s abilities, at the Middle Stage of Mystical Level. This varies slightly from his previous calculations but remains within an acceptable range.

Kalsa then asked, “I also have a question I want to ask you.”

Lynch said, “Please, go ahead.”

Kalsa frowned, looking into Lynch’s eyes, puzzled, “Your eyes… If I’m not mistaken, they should be the Eye of Death God, right?”

Lynch nodded, “Yes.”

Kalsa’s face showed a noticeable hint of disgust, and her hands involuntarily tightened, “So it is…”

After a while, she adjusted herself.

With some apology, she explained to Lynch, “Sorry, I lost my composure. It’s mainly because your eyes remind me of someone very unpleasant.”

Lynch was silent for a moment before asking, “Is it… Alfred?”

Kalsa was taken aback, her eyes cold, “You know him!”

One could clearly sense a rising hostility from her, even more intense than during her previous sparring with Lynch.

Lynch said, “Don’t misunderstand me, Witch.”

“I’ve heard of this name because not long ago I encountered a resentful spirit in some ruins. Her name was Yina, and from her, I learned some rather regretful things.”

Kalsa said coldly, “That wench’s fate is entirely her own doing. If she hadn’t invited a wolf into the house, the Jade Land wouldn’t be in the state it is today.”

She seemed to be stirred by some unpleasant memories. At this point, she waved her hand, “Alright, let’s stop here for today. I’m tired. I’ll let Diana accompany you. You can ask her if you need anything.”

Without waiting for Lynch’s reply, she quickly departed.

That temper… quite fierce.

Lynch casually strolled around, had some afternoon tea, and left. Even though he received a warm invitation, it was mainly out of politeness. It would be too discourteous to wander freely around someone’s core area.

Furthermore, everyone here was a witch, and as all of them were women, their attire was naturally quite casual. Some just wore random pieces, while others wore nothing at all. It was obviously inappropriate for a man like him to be in such an environment.

Before leaving, he discreetly placed a space coordinate within the Witch Castle.

Between Witch Domains, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Communicating smoothly now seems good on the surface, but who knows if changes in force fields might occur over time.

If someday he is forced to become an enemy, then this space coordinate will undoubtedly be an unexpected killer move.

If a teleportation gate suddenly opens in the core area of the domain, with an endless swarm of undead army emerging from within, such a scenario would be a terrifying nightmare for anyone.

Just hope that such a day never comes.

Lynch’s principle is always to have more friends and fewer enemies. If it’s not those with fundamental conflicts of interest with him, he generally doesn’t want to antagonize others.

…

A few days later, at night, Feiyan City, Sword and Snowflake Tavern.

Sword and Snowflake Tavern is a tavern in Feiyan City, newly opened within a few years, yet its business is extraordinarily booming, full of guests every day.

Like other taverns in the city, the patrons here are mostly adventurers.

Adventurers, a group possessing powerful strength, are actually quite unstable factors within taverns. When drunk, they often start brawls, and fights or brawls are frequent occurrences. Many taverns are regularly trashed.

However, such incidents have never occurred at Sword and Snowflake Tavern. It’s not that ill-tempered guests change their temperament here, but simply because the tavern’s owner is strong enough to throw out any unruly adventurer.

This tavern was founded by a newlywed couple, none other than Theresa, the Ice Swordsman, and Udis, the Earth Splitting Mad Axe, once popular in the Adventurer Guild.

At this moment, as night fell and lights began to shine, Sword and Snowflake Tavern was at its busiest time of the day.

“Lousy skeletons, I can kill three with one swing of my axe!”

“Big talk won’t break your back, huh? Last time, don’t think I didn’t see you. Were you not the one chased all around by a Skeleton Knight?”

“You’re full of nonsense!”

…

“Yodel, you’ve been quite generous lately. Did you find something in the Underground City?”

“Lucky. A few days ago, I dug up a handwriting, sold it for 60 Gold Coins.”

…

In a corner of the tavern, Lynch sat at a wooden table, dressed as an archer, with a face matching the archer identity.

With him at the table were three others, his teammates from the original team, Sirius, Triss, and Hilia.

Although the operations of the Adventurer Guild have stabilized now, Lynch has maintained his habit of checking adventurer processes. Every few months, he would go to the Adventurer Guild to take on one or two tasks to promptly understand their current situation.

Not long ago, he had just joined Sirius and the team to explore an Underground City.

Sitting at the table, Sirius shook the oak mug in his hand, looking over at Theresa, busy serving tea, and said in disbelief, “Really, I told you, choosing to retire was a truly terrible decision.”
