Chapter 429 - Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Replicating the Divine Mountain (2/2)
The subordinates standing by had never dreamed that their boss would suddenly burst into flames without any apparent reason.
Chen Yu’s movements just now had been very discreet, and besides, the blue-white light was only visible to Chen Yu when it wasn’t very strong.
“Hurry up and put out the fire!”
No one knew who shouted, but only then did everyone react, and the guards outside hurried in with water.
But this type of spontaneous combustion usually starts inside the body, burning the body’s own fat and muscle.
Once it begins, it doesn’t stop until all the fat on the body is consumed.
So pouring water over it is basically useless.
Moreover, this guy had so much fat that once it caught fire, it became uncontrollable, and in the blink of an eye, he collapsed to the ground, motionless.
“We must leave, this is a punishment sent from heaven. His body will probably continue to burn for three days and three nights, and the entire castle won’t be spared.”
Chen Yu shouted, then grabbed Jin Lingsu and was the first to run out of the castle.
Seeing their boss dead, the others did not linger and fled as well.
Not long after everyone had escaped the castle, the whole mountain began to blaze.
Ural’s size was simply too large, and combined with the large amounts of fine wine stored in the castle, the fire would not stop for three days and nights.
The people who had escaped immediately panicked, having lived in the desert from a young age with devotion to the mountain elder, they had come here.
It then transformed into personal worship of Ural.
Therefore, most of them were uneducated and lacked any concept of spontaneous human combustion.
Moreover, confronted with such a situation, they were at a loss, each standing there with a vacant look in their eyes.
Chen Yu glanced at the expressions of the people, coughed twice, then found a platform to stand upon.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I was ordered by the mountain elder to deliver this short sword, which symbolizes authority, to Mr. Ural. However, I did not expect that he could not bear the divine will. It seems that I must find the next person.”
In any other place, such nonsense would probably be dismissed, but here it was as if guided by the hand of a deity.
One of them, who was dressed like a wizard, hurriedly stepped forward.
“Many years ago, the first mountain elder left a prophecy stating that only someone who can bear the power bestowed by heaven can truly command the Lakato Family. It seems Mr. Ural was not the chosen one.”
The people present nodded in agreement, even treating it as gospel truth.
Some even saw Chen Yu holding the short sword without any issues and immediately knelt down, wanting to recognize him as their new boss.
“Everyone, for many years now, Mount Augustus has been the sacred land in the hearts of our Lakato Family. Yet Ural has come to this place for no reason to build a castle, clearly wanting to remove us from the protection of the gods. In my opinion, we should relocate to Mount Augustus.”
Not a single person opposed, and some were already eager to go home and pack their belongings.
Chen Yu said no more and directly pulled over the wizard who had just spoken and two others who looked more reliable.
“I leave these children of the deities in your care. You must lead them safely to Mount Augustus with all your heart and effort, or else you will face divine punishment.”
