The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 195 Domineering (12)

The air seemed to freeze before the broken gray gate of the Xunshi Mansion.

The old butler, Nili, remained propped up, one hand pressed against his chest, which ached slightly from excitement, while the other hand hung frozen in mid-air. His cloudy eyes were wide open, filled with joy, and... a trace of indescribable fear.

In his memory, young master Kalek would probably hesitate for a long time before killing even a crystal moth, let alone a human.

Compared to old Niri, the loyal guards and servants of the Xun Shi family reacted much more simply. They scanned between the young master of Kalek and the still bleeding body of the law enforcement captain on the ground, their eyes filled with excitement!

As for the remaining law enforcement officers, they remained frozen, their faces drained of color, their teeth chattering, as if enveloped by a biting cold wind.

“This… Captain Delin—.” Lynn glanced at the badge bearing Delin’s name on his corpse and said calmly, “He was executed on the spot by me for offending a Light Vein noble crystal master… Old Niri, you all saw it, didn’t you?”

“…Yes, young master…that’s right!” Old Nili was taken aback at first, then said loudly, “According to the law, apart from the Radiant Vein Nobles, anyone who dares to offend a Light Vein Noble Crystal Master can be subject to Glorious Judgment by the Light Vein Noble Crystal Master!”

The people of Lingjing revere bloodlines, and nobles possess extremely high status and countless privileges.

The Glorious Judgment is one of them.

It grants nobles, especially noble crystal masters, the power to attack the offender without restriction when they are offended.

Of course, this power can only be exercised downwards; upwards, it requires the consent of those in higher positions and is a "battle of honor" that distinguishes only superiors from inferiors, not life and death.

The nobles of Huimai City are only of three ranks, from lowest to highest: Micro-pulse Nobles, Light Pulse Nobles, and Radiant Pulse Nobles.

There are not many nobles of higher status than the Xun Shi family, and the fact that the captain of the law enforcement team has no noble markings on the back of his hand indicates that he is just an elite commoner, which fully meets the conditions for the Glorious Judgment.

"No...this is not a glorious judgment."

Lynn's sophistry ignited anger in the hearts of the law enforcement officers, and one of them couldn't help but grit his teeth and say.

"Captain Devon has not offended you!"

“That’s right, Captain Devon didn’t even dare to look at you, he just lowered his head and walked away…”

chi chi-

The noisy sounds had barely begun when they came to an abrupt halt after a barely perceptible yet lightning-fast golden flash streaked through the air.

Lynn said calmly, "To meet a noble of the Light Vein and not to pay respects is an offense in itself."

Thump thump thump——

After a few dull thuds, several more headless corpses, still steaming and twitching slightly, lay on the ground.

The stench of blood at the entrance grew stronger, spreading like a tangible substance, so strong that it seemed to freeze the joy on the faces of the guards and servants.

"They deserve to die!" Old Nili's voice suddenly broke the silence. He said angrily, "Who knew which lackey dared to set his sights on the Xunshi family? Fortunately, young master, you're back, otherwise we would be the ones lying on the ground right now!"

These words immediately enlightened the people around him, and they beamed with joy again, echoing each other:
"That's right, a bunch of sluts, good riddance!"

"If it weren't for the young master, we would all be dead."

"Young Master Kalek is mighty!"

"Young Master has become a Crystal Master! That's amazing! I didn't even see how they died!" Lynn smiled slightly and walked towards the crowd.

The power he used was essentially the same as the power that Kalek gained after using the Brilliant Gold Crystal.

The brief few hours before interrogating Kalek and arriving in the dungeon were enough for a first-tier wizard to roughly figure out the power Kalek had acquired and to simulate it using magic.

The reason why the effect of Kalek's use was so different from that of Lynn's was mainly because Kalek used it based on instinct, while Lynn used some techniques.

The golden energy that Kalek obtained is essentially a kind of gale with sharp characteristics. If it is shot out instinctively like Kalek, it is just a ball of golden energy with ordinary destructive power. However, if it is condensed into a blade like Lynn, its power will be greatly enhanced!
This attack strength is considered a level three crystal master in the Spirit Crystal Clan's system, equivalent to a newly promoted second-level wizard apprentice. In comparison, Kalek was previously a level one crystal master, equivalent to a newly promoted third-level wizard apprentice.

However, this equality only applies to the power of attacks. Wizards possess far more methods than crystal masters, and their understanding of power is fundamentally different. In a battle between equals, wizards would inevitably prevail.

"Welcome home, young master." Old Nili's face was full of smiles, but he was a little uneasy.

The person in front of him did indeed look like the young master, but his personality and expression were completely different, which made him uneasy.

Lynn nodded and said calmly as he passed Nili, "Avan and the others are all dead. Only I have returned."

Old Nili was stunned, watching Lynn's retreating figure, and the unease in his heart slowly turned into heartache.

For this trip to the surface, the Xun Shi family sent almost all of their remaining martial artists, a total of 25... but now they are all dead, leaving only the boy in front of them alive.

Without needing to think too deeply, old Nili knew that it must have been an incredibly cruel experience.

'Thinking about it this way, it's quite normal for the young master's personality to change so drastically...'

With a silent sigh, old Nellie instructed his servants to clean up the mess and then quickly followed Lynn.

……

When old Nellie caught up with Lynn, the young man was already sitting down in the long-closed library, quietly flipping through the books in his hands, his slender fingertips tracing the yellowed pages, making a rustling sound from time to time.

Seeing this, old Nili couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat again.

Young Master Kalek was unruly and cowardly from a young age, never wanting to read much, let alone come to the library on his own initiative.

He quietly wiped the moisture from the corner of his eye and gently knocked on the door:
"Young Master, would you like me to bring some food?"

“No… um, just send some over.” Lynn replied casually.

He noticed the old man's strange behavior, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Ultimately, his choice to impersonate Kalek was simply for convenience, a matter of risk and benefit, and he ultimately chose the optimal solution. It wasn't to satisfy any perverse desires, and naturally, he had no other emotions involved.

The Spirit Crystal People are not human after all, and Lynn didn't have much pity for them.

"Yes, young master." Old Nili bowed slightly and silently withdrew.

Lynn kept flipping through the books, and finally found the information he was looking for in a large, yellowed tome.

'Twelve years ago, the crystal cluster disaster suddenly struck in the dead of night…'
