Chapter 279: Episode 6: Night Talk

Lynch walked up to Zilvra and Soka, looking at the villagers who were still frightened, and asked, "What are you two doing?"

"Sister Zilvra told me a way to identify good people." As soon as little Soka saw Lynch coming, she quickly ran to his side. She was already sweating profusely and took this time to rest and catch her breath. "But with this method, I couldn’t find many good people, and I felt so tired. Boohoo, such a failure..."

Zilvra walked over, pointed at the tied-up villagers, and said, "Didn’t these people say that mages are all evil, and that even those close to mages will be contaminated by evil? So I wanted to see how many of them are truly good." The female Drow said carelessly, "People on the surface often say that good people will be guided by angels to the heavens and stand beside the so-called light, living there. Isn’t Soka an angel? How come not one person could stay in the sky and they all fell? Hmph, a bunch of hypocrites."

Lynch shook his head, knowing naturally that this was just an excuse Zilvra found to intimidate the residents here. Her true intention was to create a relatively safe living environment for the mage’s mother, but the method was a bit odd: how could normal humans possibly stand in mid-air?

"Brother Lynch, is this method correct or not?" Soka tugged at the mage’s robe, shaking it continuously, "I’m really tired, isn’t there an easier way?"

Looking at the little angel, Lynch felt a bit helpless, "This method can’t be said to be wrong, but it only works after they’re dead..."

The villagers on the ground inhaled sharply at the mage’s words, "Lynch, Great Mage, we don’t want to die! Please let us go, after all, you are here..."

"Shut up!" Zilvra yelled, "What’s all this noise? You bunch of creeps, weren’t you just very stubborn? Now you’re begging for mercy?" She dragged Soka to her side, "Soka, aren’t the bad people supposed to go to hell? When they fall, the bad ones will go to the hell below ground, so you won’t have to fly down to catch them. That way you can save half your effort."

"Have mercy! We don’t want to die..."

Lynch watched as the scene became increasingly chaotic, and little Soka continued to listen intently to Zilvra’s "teachings," nodding with a trusting expression. If he didn’t stop them, the situation could become even more troublesome.

"You two come with me, stop causing trouble here." The mage beckoned to the two girls, "I have other ways to solve the problems here."

Zilvra stared into the mage’s eyes, then grabbed Soka’s hand and said, "Soka, let’s call it a day, I’ll take you back and find some fruit to eat." Then she led the little angel away.

The mage looked at the people scattered on the ground, many of them crying bitterly, unsure if it was because of the mage’s arrival or the fear of free falling from the sky. Several villagers cowered on the side, as if truly believing Lynch was carrying the plague, not daring to approach.

Thinking it over, Lynch realized that anything he did under these circumstances wouldn’t leave a good impression on them. So he turned directly and walked toward his family’s inn.

Another person observing the situation here was Pate’s bishop, Kuboert. He was in a room adjacent to the street, standing by the window, watching everything happening outside. Originally, when Zilvra had tied up many villagers, he wanted to intervene, but Soka’s unfolded wings stopped him in his tracks. This significant discovery thrilled him—a real angel appeared among humans, and seemingly, she wasn’t summoned through spells, and she could stay long term in the Anriel World! On the other hand, it was troublesome that this angel was always by the mage’s side.

He gestured for the knight standing guard in the room to leave, then sat at the desk, and in the dim candlelight began writing an important letter.

"Honorable Main Priest, the funeral ceremony in Haisas was forcibly canceled, the mage Lynch did not die, he appeared at the most crucial moment of the funeral, disrupting the entire ritual. However, this does not affect the alliance with the Great Lord Council of Haisas, everything will still proceed smoothly. But on the other hand, the news provided by the Mage Association that the mage is dead is worth our renewed attention. What exactly is their attitude or purpose remains unclear. I still adhere to my original belief; the guidance of Light God Pate is enough for us to achieve glorious victory, and we do not need the help of those mages who once blasphemed the gods. Nevertheless, I will continue to strive to contact them, abiding by the decisions of the Main Priests."
