Chapter 908 - Gathered (1/2)
Ye Cang assigned the Milk Overlord – Linda to bring the guests to the luxurious guest room in the shrine. As he was the host himself, he stationed himself outside the shrine to welcome anyone else who were attending the event. Facing the sunset, he stood at the square beyond the Goddess Stairs and looked upon the troop herding towards him. The guards of the shrine lined the path firmly and ceremoniously.
“Your Majesty Lord Cailon, the one in the wolf clothing is Earl PaleSnow.” Marquess Leinster who was beside Cailon pointed him outhim.
“In just a year, from a newbie in the Really New Village to a viscount, to an earl and now standing under the Sanctuary of the Six Goddesses. He doesn’t even need to bow to me and Sagain…” Cailon raised his eyebrow with a smile, “Azshara, this man whom you recommended is sure no ordinary man…”
Marquess Azshara quickly replied, “Your Majesty, I’m not that close with him. I only helped him because of his sincerity…”
“Are you sure you guys aren’t on the same boat…” Leinster smirked. Liar. Earl PaleSnow is the landlord of the entire mine valley. Just to legalise his jurisdiction, he bribed you to ensure things go smoothly and ended up with the title of an earl to help him unite the forces in the north borders. Without Crane’s and your full support, do you think it is possible for him to be the King of the North?
“I bet Earl Leinster is still mad about the incident where the underlings of the ambassador of the goddesses – PaleSnow injured Red Jade Sword Saint?” Crane smiled.
“Hmph!” Leinster glared at the always-sitting-on-the-fence Crane.
“But I do like to meet the person who could injure Red Jade Sword Saint,” Cailon knew how strong Red Jade Sword Saint was. Even though he is quite weak among the sword saints, he does have the minimum holy-ranked strength. But now he was just a step away from getting torn apart by others…
“Master mayor, I’m here!” Ye Cang heard Verali’s voice and saw a massive creature running up the stairs. The ground was shaking as if there was an earthquake. “Lil’Li, slow down, slow down! Don’t destroy the tiles!”
“Oh…” Verali then adjusted her speed and walked towards Ye Cang.
“From today onwards, you will be the leader of my royal bodyguards who is in charge of my personal safety, preventing anyone from trying to harm me during the war,” Ye Cang handed over a grilled drumstick of a large animal.
“Got it, mayor! No worries! I, Verali will ensure your safety! No one can injure you without stepping over my corpse!” Verali started chewing the meat.
“Eat slowly, would ya. There are three more here. Keep them and enjoy them.” Ye Cang took out three more and Verali carried all three on her left shoulder while she continued to eat with his right hand.
Assenroche sensed Verali’s presence and her eyes shined with arcane light, “The Giant with Dragon Blood… this tribe still exists after the gods had fallen?”
It was the offspring of the Descendant of the Dragons (an offspring of humans and dragons in ancient times) and the titans. They caused a bloody war in the War of Gods. In the end, they were eliminated by the God of All Evil.
“The one that injured Red Jade Sword Saint is the little giant that ran up just now,” Azshara knew who Verali was. It’s always a terrifying experience talking to her. This girl is not afraid of anything. I think apart from her grandpa, she only listens to this mayor…
“Oh, her?” Cailon did not say anything else and continued to walk majestically in front of the troop.
The elder from the War God’s Temple was shocked at the sight of Verali. “Very strong…excellent…”
“Fenrica, I’ve been wondering whether this old man has any mental illnesses…” the EmptyHanded – Bane mumbled to the leader of Flame Tower – Jaysus.
“Hey, hey, keep quiet. If SkyConquer Sword Saint heard that, don’t think of leaving Goddess City.” Jaysus was speechless as he looked at the person coming from the other side of the square. “Minox from Farsarqi is also here…”
“I think I saw the lizardman and fishman tribe. This mayor sure has an extensive network…” EmptyHanded was surprised.
