Dazhe led the mage into a large room, where several low tables were arranged in two rows. There were no chairs, but plenty of soft cushions. Dazhe and Lynch sat behind the tables opposite each other.
Soon, a few young girls brought in small white bowls, filled with fragrant hot tea.
Dazhe gestured for Lynch to drink the tea, then waved for all the maids to leave.
Lynch took a sip of tea, finding it very strange as it had no sugar, milk, or wine added. He sneaked a glance at the retreating girls, spotting a few snake heads peeking out from their veils that covered their entire faces.
"Medusa!" Lynch couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed. To recruit such powerful beings as maids, how strong must this man called Dazhe be? And what was he aiming to achieve with such power?
"Once again, welcome to my castle. Treat this place as your home, don't feel like an outsider. Feel free to do anything," Dazhe said with a smile.
