Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Kadoge

Wizards inherently believed wholeheartedly in such matters, and now that Chen Yu had spoken as well, he dared not be the slightest bit negligent and actually knelt on the ground to kowtow several times with great force.

“Rest assured, I will definitely bring them to safety. I do not know where you plan to go next, though.”

Chen Yu immediately put on a helpless expression.

“The current Lakato Family is like loose sand. The reigning elder of the mountain cannot bear to watch the family become like this, so he wants to hand over his authority. It’s just that apart from him, it’s hard to say who else in the family can bear the divine right granted from above.”

His words were extremely sincere and moved the wizard directly.

He looked at Chen Yu with a gaze akin to that of a pilgrim, then took a Jade Pendant from his person.

“This is the personal belonging of all wizards of the Lakato Family. If you go to other castles, just show this and find the local wizard there; they will take care of you.”

Chen Yu was rather surprised, as he had thought wizards were just a special product of this castle; he did not expect that every place had one.

Thinking back carefully, he remembered that there seemed to be a wizard at the side of the elder with the mask on Mount Augustus.

That said, for an organization with such a strong religious atmosphere like the Lakato Family to set up the position of a wizard was not really unexpected.

After everyone had left, Chen Yu went to a shop.

Although the people here had left, the wizard had instructed them to leave some food behind before they did.

Most of the people from Black Hat Mountain were native desert dwellers, very familiar with the terrain and landforms of this area, and they had no obstacles traveling to Mount Augustus at night.

But Chen Yu was not the same.

The next place they were heading to was a thousand kilometers away from here, and they had to cross a vast expanse of quicksand. If they set out at night, they might encounter danger, so they could only stay here for the night.

The food left for them by the shopkeeper was extremely abundant, with not only prepared beef and mutton but also a great variety of desert specialties.

Chen Yu sat down, tore off a large chunk of mutton, and stuffed it into his mouth.

“This is much easier than I had imagined!”

Jin Lingsu was a bit puzzled, “That fat man you spoke of, how did he just spontaneously combust?”

Chen Yu took a sip of fruit wine, “There have been many instances of spontaneous human combustion throughout history, and moreover, that guy had so much visceral fat, it was bound to be out of control once it started burning.”

Jin Lingsu nodded without asking further.

Such incidents were indeed numerous, and even in today’s world, they were not uncommon.

After the two of them had eaten and drunk to their content and confirmed their route for the next day, they prepared to rest.

“Damn it, where have all the people here gone to?”

A rough voice suddenly came from not far away. Several burly men, who had not been there before and each holding a shiny broadsword, had arrived.

At their chest location, there was an emblem of the Lakato Family, but beside it, there was also a tree-shaped blue badge.

Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stood up to greet them.

“Where are you from? Is there a problem?”

The leading strong man curled his lip, walked up to the table, grabbed a piece of mutton, and stuffed it into his mouth.

“We are guards under Kadoge’s command. We’re here to inform your master that the selection event for the elder of the mountain will be held in one month.”

Chen Yu was slightly startled, he did not expect this man to be so brazen.

However, after searching through his mind for information on Kadoge, Chen Yu let it go.

This guy, just like Ural, is also one of the more powerful presences within the Lakatoga organization.

Moreover, they have coveted the position of the old man in the mountains for a long time and have proposed more than once to hold a re-election.
