Chapter 250 – The One Chosen By The Gods (1/2)
For normal people, the hero should be dignified and imposing, though may not necessarily be dazzling, but should be an outstanding person of integrity. But the person in front of him with the smoke in his mouth that looked like someone who got into bar fights daily definitely didn’t look like a hero.
Greenton had a head full of short dark brown hair, his body bulging with muscles. He was a good deal taller than Woos, wearing an old gray vest and shorts and tattered straw shoes. He in no way looked like a famous hero, but rather a refugee that just walked out of the slums and might beg you for food.
Not only did he look like a poor old man, after a while, you would notice that he’s a detestable poor old man!
A ridiculing look, grinning while looking down at Woos as he took a deep breath of his cigarette.
The burning tobacco let out a strange aroma, letting out smoke rings with each breath landing on Woos’ face making him cough repeatedly.
“Cough… Greenton, you’re late.”
Woos waved his hands to disperse the smoke, then held his waist as he slowly found a place nearby to sit and rest.
“I say, aren’t you too rigid? We haven’t seen each other for so long and the first thing you say is that?” Greenton laughed and found a place near Woos to sit.
“Tsk, you brat…”
Woos glared at him, pretending to be angry, but he quickly also laughed.
“Old man, how’s your body?”
“Okay, I won’t die.”
“Dying might be difficult, but if your body falls apart and you can’t straighten your back, then at that time you won’t even be able to leave your bed.”
“Cough… sigh, you’re right, when you’re old, it gets hard on your back.” Woos sighed and hammered his back.
“Uh…”
Seeing that, Greenton’s smile stiffened.
He would always joke like this with Woos before, and normally he would earnestly rebuke him then laugh.
But this time Woos didn’t retort, because his body was getting worse by the day.
“If that’s the case, then just stay at Loran Academy, why’d you come out to torture yourself?” As he said that, Greenton spat out his smoke and stamped on it, then frowned and asked, “Do you still think you’re that undefeatable grand magician? No, now you’re an useless old man, even if something did happen, you can’t help your students!”
Being directly scolded, Woos wanted to lecture him, but his back was hurting again and he didn’t have the energy to argue.
“Un, you’re right… I’m useless, I couldn’t do anything to help during this incident and almost let my students die, luckily they survived.”
“You!! Sigh…”
Actually, he would rather Woos lecture him, because that meant he still wasn’t that old and was still that stern outstanding teacher and not this stinking old man.
Unfortunately, aging was something even a hero couldn’t reverse.
“Speaking of which, this time’s incident really surprised me. The Holy Light Church, Lesser Devils… the demons have been quiet for half a year, and we did something ourselves first.” Greenton slowly blew out some smoke and changed the topic, “Old man, I heard that the people who saved Caesar and them were Lin Tian and Yao Zi from Bamboo Academy?”
“That’s right, cough cough… to be precise, it was just Yao Zi.”
“I’ve investigated that Yao Zi before, a fifth-level magician and a complete idiot that can’t even complete a magic circle… how could she defeat the Lesser Devils?”
Based on what he knew, the Lesser Devils were sixth-level just based on their bodies and there were a lot of them that knew how to cooperate with each other, so they were like a small team. How could an idiotic fifth-level magician beat them and save Caesar and them?
By crying, shouting, or kneeling and praying?
“No, it was by herself.” Woos shook his head and quietly answered, “Yao Zi possesses the Wizard’s bloodline.”
“Wait… the Wizard’s bloodline?” When Greenton heard that, his eyes widened and he almost dropped his smoke.
He knew the real meaning of it and knew how much power it represented. If she was, then even double the number of Lesser Devils might not have injured her.
“But, why…”
“Because she isn’t fully awakened.”
