Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience - Chapter 440 - 5: It Really Is You!

Chapter 440: Chapter 5: It Really Is You!

Is it her?

Lynch stared at the information in his hand, taken aback.

Back in the Ancient Ruins, he once attended a gathering hosted by Purebloods, where a Pureblood arranged for a female apprentice to serve him as a gift.

That was decades ago, but thanks to the Wizard’s powerful spiritual power, Lynch wouldn’t forget someone he’d met.

And the young girl in the information in front of him was clearly the same female apprentice arranged to serve him at the gathering.

How could she be here?

When the Witch Domain was first established, Lynch personally inquired about all new recruits from various Extraordinary Influences, knowing almost everyone.

But later, as the Witch Domain grew and the number of personnel increased drastically, this hands-on approach became too time-consuming and exhausting, so Lynch delegated the authority to recruit newcomers to the respective Extraordinary Influences.

As a result, he didn’t recognize the newcomers recruited later.

Lynch wondered, “Introduce this Light Priestess to me.”

Saul felt a tinge of excitement and promptly replied, “Okay, Master, this Light Priestess is named Julia, she…”

Immediately, Lynch understood the rough course of events from Saul.

After hearing Saul’s description, Lynch furrowed his brows tightly: “You’re saying… this apprentice came from elsewhere, and there were several others who came with her? They were… escaping the war? Is that it?”

According to Saul’s description, Julia claimed she was forced to flee due to war at her hometown and ended up settling in Feiyan City.

Does that mean there’s trouble in the Ancient Relics?

Others may not know Julia’s background, but Lynch certainly understood. What kind of war could make an apprentice like her leave her homeland?

Saul nodded, saying, “According to Julia, it’s like that. They all escaped from the war.”

He then secretly glanced at Lynch in puzzlement.

Saul couldn’t shake the feeling that his teacher seemed different today, as if particularly focused on this priestess.

But overall, this was a good thing.

Everyone was eyeing the role of the Holy Daughter of Light; getting the teacher’s attention could only be positive.

Thus, Saul promptly asked, “But I’m not entirely sure of the specifics; should I bring her over to ask?”

Lynch nodded, “Bring her here.”

Saul replied, “Yes.”

…

Not long after, Saul returned to the Holy Temple, accompanied by a young woman, none other than the Light Priestess he recommended, Julia.

Standing at the temple entrance, Saul seriously warned Julia, “When you meet the Guardian later, be careful with your words. Whether you can stand out among many candidates depends on the Guardian’s decision.”

Julia quickly replied, “Y-yes, teacher.”

Saul nodded, “Go in.”

Julia started walking forward, passing through the long corridor, each step echoing in the empty corridor, melding with the rhythm of her heartbeat.

She really made it this far…

Initially, she approached it with a mindset of trying, becoming a student of the Red-clothed Archbishop Saul was already a delightful surprise for Julia.

But it was beyond her imagination that when her name was reported, it actually got noticed.

“The Guardian became interested in you just by looking at your information.”

“You must seize this opportunity yourself!”

These were Saul’s original words to her.

Afterward, she was swiftly summoned from the countryside to here.

The Guardian is interested in me?

Julia wondered what trait of hers attracted the guardian’s interest. Saul couldn’t give a specific answer, only indicating curiosity about her background and hometown. But what exactly caught this great person’s interest?

Pondering, Julia reached the temple’s entrance and gently knocked on the door.

“Knock, knock!”

“Come in!”

A mature male voice with a magnetic timbre came from inside the room.

Julia pushed open the door and walked inside.

In front of the table, sat a figure.

He was a man who seemed to have stepped out from a painting, lounging casually back in his chair, leisurely perusing a book in his hand. Sunlight streamed through the cross window, shining on his silver-gray long hair, making it shimmer.

Julia inadvertently lost focus for a moment.

So handsome…

Although it wasn’t her first time seeing him, it was the first time she observed him so closely, realizing how handsome the Guardian was.

Sword-like brows, starry eyes, sharp features, and streamlined muscle contours—all like a finely crafted artwork, flawless.

The last time she was captivated by a man’s appearance was in the Ancient Ruins, by that mysterious figure who rose like a comet and then vanished—the magical genius Lynch…

Hmm?

These eyes…

Just then, Julia noticed a pair of eyes like gray gemstones. Coincidentally, they were identical to that man’s eyes.

“Come over,” the voice in the room broke her reverie.

A hint of embarrassment and anxiety appeared on Julia’s face.

’How could I make such a foolish mistake at such an important moment?’

She regretted her performance inwardly while quickly muttering anxiously, “Ah, sorry, sir, yes, sir.”

She then hastened forward.

Upon nearing, Julia continued pondering how to explain her previous blunder.

Just then, the man in front spoke first.

The deep gray eyes looked at her, scrutinizing her up and down.

Suddenly, he exclaimed, “It truly is you!”

Julia puzzledly paused.

She questioned, “What do you mean, sir?”

She didn’t quite comprehend his meaning, believing she had never had any intersections with such a significant figure.

Guardian!

The significance of this title was known to all on this land—the actual ruler of this Witch Domain, equal to the Light Goddess, the real power behind major Extraordinary Influences.

How could a mere Light Priestess have met him?

Yet, soon, she understood the meaning behind his words.

And subsequently became speechless in shock.

The Guardian smiled slightly, “You don’t recognize me in this form, but what about this…”

As he spoke, his figure began to change strangely.

And amidst the transformation…

A face buried deep in her memory gradually surfaced…
