Dark Moon Church, Witch Master Hall.
Inside the Witch Master Hall, Lynch was sizing up the unfamiliar guests before him.
There were two of them, both looking around forty years old, seemingly no different from ordinary wizards, dressed in regular wizard robes.
However, both exuded a very powerful Spiritual Field, clearly indicating they were at least High-level Wizards.
As Lynch was observing them, one of them had already begun to speak. A wizard with brown hair stepped forward and greeted, "It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lord Saphiro. We come from the Tower of Order. My name is Murphy, and this is my colleague, Harut."
This Murphy wizard was fairly courteous, but the one named Harut had a less pleasant demeanor, not speaking a word with a rather arrogant expression, chin high.
Lynch glanced at them and nodded slightly, addressing Murphy, "It’s a pleasure to meet you. May I know the purpose of your sudden visit?"
"Hmph!"
Harut snorted coldly, and said with an accusatory tone, "Is there something going on? Of course, there is!"
"Wantonly provoking conflicts, breaking peace, later forcibly seizing others’ witch domains, usurping other wizards’ efforts, wantonly slaughtering other wizards, causing such a commotion. Do you think it’s nothing?"
Lynch frowned slightly.
Although he had anticipated the possibility of their ill intentions, the accusatory tone was unexpected. Were they really here to cause trouble?
Next to him, Murphy Wizard picked up the conversation politely, "Saphiro Wizard, please understand. My colleague Harut is straightforward and doesn’t know how to choose his words. I ask for your understanding."
He symbolically turned to Harut to scold him lightly, "I’ve told you to speak less."
Then he continued to address Lynch, "We are here representing the Tower of Order to inquire about your sudden provocation of conflicts in the Jade Land."
"After all, to restore peace to this chaotic land, our Tower of Order has spent a great deal of effort. We’ve barely managed to calm things down here, and we truly hope not to see more disturbances."
He raised his voice slightly, "This is our wish, the wish of the Supreme Council, and the wish of all wizards."
Wow!
Such boldness!
Lynch realized these two were clearly playing good cop, bad cop, trying to corner him!
If that’s the case...
Lynch feigned a look of helplessness and said, "I believe you both might have misunderstood. The conflict was not initiated by me but by the Dark Moon Church."
"I was peacefully managing my Witch Domain in Feiyan City, but the Dark Moon Church kept sending people to attack me every other day, capturing my people to mine in Jade Ridge, or using them for strange experiments."
"It’s been going on for quite some time, and I had no choice but to retaliate."
Harut said, "For the sake of a few human interests, you’ve caused such a large-scale war, resulting in the deaths of so many wizards. Don’t you think it’s excessive?"
Lynch furrowed his brow, losing a bit of patience.
He answered doubtfully, "Indeed, do you have any good suggestions now?"
"Suggestions?"
Harut said coldly, "According to the Supreme Council’s regulations, wantonly initiating wars is a violation of the supreme laws. You should follow us back to face judgment!"
Lynch let out a cold laugh, "Bold words! If you have the guts, come and try then!"
His unexpected assertiveness seemed to catch the two wizards from the Tower of Order off guard.
Harut shouted angrily, "What do you mean? Are you defying us?"
The Tower of Order was one of the supreme orders of this world, basically determining the basic order of the entire Wizard World.
Which wizards are White Wizards, worthy of affirmation?
Which wizards are Black Wizards, to be punished?
All of this was decided by them.
One might say they represented the embodiment of the supreme will of the entire Wizard World.
The outcome of defying them was evident.
However, faced with their aggression, Lynch was undaunted. "Defy?"
