Chapter 46: Registrar of Tierra (1/2)
In Leah’s memory, the registrar was a plump and pale-skinned elderly man, a far cry from the frail and tanned old man that stood in front of her. Had it not been for the fact that he still looked somewhat like the way he did back then she couldn’t even recognize him.
“So you still remember me, Your Highness? This, this is such an honor…”
The old man trembled with excitement and wanted to step forward to bow down towards her, but his current pathetic state made him pause.
Seeing this, Leah warmly stepped forward and held his hands gently. “Grandpa Registrar, these years must have been so hard for you…”
Seeing this, Marni interjected, “This isn’t a good place to speak, let’s continue this in the tent?”
He then cracked a smile and glanced around pointedly at the other refugees who were secretly peering at the carriage, as if they wanted to take advantage of him.
To this, Marni calmly unsheathed his sword and swung it promptly at the ground, silently activating the warrior skill Divine Earthspilt Blade.
As an effect of the skill, a long and wide trench was immediately gouged out of the ground surrounding the carriage!
After that, he then smashed his sword towards the ground and activated the skill Focused Slam, blasting a large round pit around him!
After doing all this, he casually sheathed his sword again.
The way he used such a terrifying move without breaking a sweat intimidated the refugees immensely, causing them to retreat back into the shadows, no longer having the courage to spy on them again.
Seeing his demonstration of power, Marni then followed Leah into the crudely set up tent.
“Grandpa Registrar, exactly what happened at Lovinia?” Leah asked in concern.
“According to His Majesty’s final wishes, I continued to spread the sparks of civilization of Tierra after the royal capital was invaded, but now even the royal capital has been destroyed by those degenerates. The Temple of Glory unleashed Judgement Bolts onto the city, destroying every building we built while the Brilliant White Church summoned white flames to burn the city for three days and three nights, everything was over…” the old man who was almost seventy years old said in anguish, then started bawling.
“If it weren’t for the fact that I needed to take care of my students, I would have sacrificed this old and decayed body to defend the capital to the death!”
Marni was expressionless after hearing the old man’s testament, but his contempt towards those other deities grew deeper.
In contrast, Leah who had lived a good half of her life in Lovinia grit her teeth in frustration and hatred as she listened. That being said, she wasn’t reckless enough to go and seek revenge on those two churches just yet, only keeping this blood debt in her heart.
“It’s not over yet!” The young girl inhaled deeply, fixing the old man with a serious stare as she said, “As long as I’m still breathing, and as long as the God of Games is looking down on me, then it’s not over!”
“T-The God of Games, you say?”
Evidently the old man didn’t continue to believe in the God of Games as Leah did, or else Xi Wei would have been able to sense the plight they had been through.
