Chapter 452: Chapter 17: Renowned Far and Wide
Then, the two parties discussed the details of the cooperation and quickly finalized the specific contract.
The content of the contract was essentially that the Land of Fran would co-excavate this site of ruins with him, and the knowledge fragments excavated would need to be provided to the Land of Fran.
In return, the Land of Fran would bear all of Lynch’s costs for excavating the ruins, including the resources needed to establish the Adventurer Guild and bestow extraordinary endowment on the adventurers.
Additionally, the Land of Fran would ensure Lynch’s personal safety and that his Witch Domain would not be threatened by other forces.
After finalizing the cooperation, Abbas left.
Lynch symbolically invited the other party to stroll around his Witch Domain, but Abbas didn’t seem interested, or perhaps there was something more appealing to him.
“Unbelievable! It’s truly unbelievable!”
“So, this is how the spatial arrangement is, and the collision of elements has such a wonderful phenomenon, truly magical!”
To show sincerity in the cooperation, Lynch handed over some deciphered junior space rune knowledge to Abbas after signing the contract. The latter was immediately captivated by the mysteriousness of the content.
Like a big boy who just got a new toy, Abbas’s eyes seemed enchanted, his expression excited as if electrified.
At this time, not to mention asking him to take a city tour, he probably wished he could sprout wings immediately to fly back to the lab to study the knowledge he obtained.
“Then, Mr. Lynch, let us meet again next time. Forgive my rudeness, but I wish to return quickly now.”
Lynch nodded: “Understood, then take care.”
Abbas left quickly.
His student, Seren, was left behind to advance the cooperation specifics with Lynch; such a large project still had many matters to handle.
At this moment,
the fatty stood in the small courtyard, looking at Lynch with a complex expression, his small eyes darting around him.
Lynch, feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, said, “What’s wrong with you? You dead fatty.”
After so many years of interaction, they were already very familiar with each other, and they interacted quite recklessly, just like when they were in the Ancient Ruins with Subaru and the others.
Seren shook his head: “No…”
“I just didn’t expect that someone I’ve known for decades turned out to be fake… fake…”
He said with a slightly resentful expression, “The face is fake, the body is fake, the hair is fake, even the name is fake, how shameless!”
Lynch shrugged, putting an arm around his shoulder, dragging him into the house, “At least our friendship is real. Okay, let’s go eat, you haven’t touched a bite of the large table of dishes. What, afraid I poisoned it?”
Seren rolled his eyes: “Nah, just an old person like you doesn’t want to eat at night, have tasted all kinds of delicacies, why would care about yours?”
After a pause, he continued, “Since you said the friendship is real, then let me see your true face.”
“Got it, got it, I’ll let you see it.”
…
Several days later, the Land of Fran suddenly announced it would protect a Second Ring Wizard Organization in the Jade Land.
As a giant like Fran held a pivotal position in the Wizard World, its actions and words were endlessly interpreted by countless wizards and forces.
Therefore, once the news was released, it immediately sparked the curiosity of countless people.
Everyone was puzzled, after all, a Second Ring Wizard Organization, especially one within the chaotic Witch Domain of the Jade Land, was little more than small fry in the Wizard World.
Fran adhered to the rule of non-interference in the Wizard World, even when the Wizard World was ablaze and chaotic, it acted as if it didn’t see and played its own game.
This sudden public protection of a wizard organization was indeed extremely rare.
Old Land, Ancient Imperial Palace.
Within the resplendent Ancient Imperial Palace, clad in pure red attire, the Red Queen, and clad in pure white attire, the White Queen sat together on the throne, listening to the subordinates’ reports below in the grand hall.
“Ruins?”
After listening to the subordinate’s explanation, the Red Queen said with a strange expression: “You say, this Second Ring organization protected by Fran is excavating ruins, or rather, they’re being protected because of this excavation?”
The White Queen sighed, with a pained expression saying: “Ah, these Fran guys are always dreaming, even when souls have been dead for so many years, why disturb them?”
The Red Queen angrily said: “Put away your melancholy, now shouldn’t we understand why these guys want to excavate the ruins? Did they find something inside, these new generation muggles are always cunning.”
“Starting cunningly from ruins, developing cunningly, now they’ve overtaken us!”
On the other side, Land of Extreme Winter, Eternal Freeze Castle.
In the conference hall, several Witch Masters from the Eternal Freeze Castle also gathered, discussing the same topic as the Ancient Imperial Palace.
“Lynch Valen? So, this is the true identity of the wizard Fran protects? Can anyone tell me the history of this wizard?” Lord of the Winter, Crook Wizard, asked the many subordinates in the conference room.
The Sari Wizard responsible for gathering intelligence stood up: “This is not a wizard from Jade Land, but from the Ancient Ruins, initially one of the most wanted Black Wizards, but not long ago, Fran revoked his warrant.”
Crook Wizard asked, intrigued: “Most wanted? What did he do?”
The Sari Wizard explained in detail: “He once rescued a friend from execution at the Ancient Ruins, causing a great disturbance, killing many local Wizard Families, who were rulers in the Ancient Ruins, and so was wanted afterward, forcing him to flee to Jade Land.”
“Oh?”
Crook Wizard’s interest grew stronger: “To go to such lengths for a friend? What family was he originally from in the Ancient Ruins?”
The Sari Wizard explained: “Not from a Wizard Family, but a Muggle, albeit exceptionally talented. It is said he reached the Wizard Level in just over 30 years and progressed rapidly afterward, advancing to the Second Tier within 20 years, quite terrifying.”
Crook Wizard’s eyes brightened with interest: “So, he’s a real talent?”
