Chapter 1068 - 1068 – Broad Walker (1/2)

After spending all his contribution points, Gravis left the exchange hall. Mortis' actual body quickly took the fruits and the token and vanished.

Then, Mortis left Opposer City and searched for a good, isolated location to comprehend his Laws.

As Mortis distracted himself and as Gravis continued earning money, something else of interest concerning Gravis was happening in Opposer City.

”Greetings, I'm searching for my junior brother. He said he was coming to this city to buy something, but he hadn't returned in the last century. Our master has sent me to search for him.”

A red-haired man with bulging muscles and very visible chest hair stood in front of an armored guard sitting at a desk.

Both of them were currently inside one of the garrisons in Opposer City.

”Name or title?” the guard asked with practiced ease.

”I'm Broad Walker, and my junior brother's title is Silent Walker,” the man answered with a boisterous voice.

The guard transmitted the titles to the archivist, who quickly checked if they had any information on someone called Silent Walker.

The archivist quickly answered with the relevant information.

The guard looked at Broad Walker with a different expression now.

In the guard's eyes, Broad Walker had transformed.

He transformed from a civilian to a customer!

”One hundred years ago, someone going by the title Silent Walker was sent to the mines,” the guard said. ”Do you have an aura sample we can use to check if this is the person you're searching for?”

Broad Walker's eyes widened in shock. ”The mines!?” he shouted. ”Why!?”

The other guards in the office looked over at Broad Walker with annoyed eyes. Couldn't that guy see that they were working?

”First, we need to confirm if the new miner going by Silent Walker is the person you're searching for. Aura, please,” the guard said.

BANG!

More annoyed gazes were thrown at Broad Walker as he hammered his fist down on the table in outrage.

”My junior brother!? A miner!? My junior brother is the most honest, most hardworking, and kindest person in our entire Sect! Yet, you're telling me he's in the mines!?” Broad Walker shouted with anger.

”Aura,” the guard answered with annoyance.

”Right, right. It could be that this is a different Silent Walker. I refuse to believe that my junior brother did anything shady!” Broad Walker said as he straightened his back again.

Broad Walker extended a finger and simulated his junior brother's aura. Imitating an aura was very difficult, and something like this could not fool anyone, but the aura only had to be similar enough for the comparison. After all, imitating an aura to 99% accuracy wasn't difficult.

99% accuracy sounded like a lot, but it actually wasn't. The details Immortal Emperors could perceive were so fine that no Immortal Emperor would be fooled by an aura only 99% similar to another one. An aura would have to be at least 99.9999% similar to fool the most idiotic and careless Immortal Emperor.

The guard felt the aura on Broad Walker's finger and compared it to the aura sample of Silent Walker.

Rough match.

Having the same title could be a coincidence.

Having a similar aura could be a coincidence.

Having a similar aura and the same title? Very likely not a coincidence.

”The auras match,” the guard said. ”It is safe to assume that the person currently mining for us is your junior brother.”

BANG!

Broad Walker punched the table again, cracking it at several places. ”Why did you imprison my junior brother!? What has he done!? This is an outrage! My junior brother would never do anything bad! Tell me! Have you been paid to imprison him!?”

Instead of engaging in Broad Walker's tirade, the guard only looked at his table. ”You're paying for that table. It was expensive, you know?”

”I don't care about your fu- frickin' table,” Broad Walker shouted, remembering his master's lectures about swearing. ”Why is my junior brother imprisoned!?”

”Table first, junior brother later,” the guard said with a commanding voice. ”57 God Stones, now!”

”57 God Stones!?” Broad Walker shouted in shock. ”What kind of stinking table costs 57 God Stones!? What can this table do!? Is it edible!? Does it cure Will-Aura injuries!?”

”It's made to resist such angry fits like the one you're currently throwing,” the guard said with narrowed eyes. ”But you are a beast, which is why it nearly broke! Fix it or pay for it!”
