Chapter 251 – Pitiful Child (1/2)
If it wasn’t Greenton that said it, Woos might even think that this came from a preacher of an evil cult.
Weren’t the demons the enemy of mankind? Other than the Demon King, who else would want to exterminate the humans?
Taking a step back, even if there was a powerful enemy other than the Demon King, could the so-called chosen one stop the calamity by themselves?
This prophecy may be a bit too melodramatic… regardless whether it was Yao Zi, Lin Xiao, Caesar or whomever else, what can they do?
Greenton said that it wasn’t him, doesn’t that mean the chosen one is even stronger? But the problem is, no matter how strong those brats are, even if they had the Wizard’s bloodline, they may not be as strong as Greenton.
“The calamity, huh… cough, cough.” Woos stroked his gray beard and helplessly sighed.
The prophecy that Pope St. George gave wasn’t complete, and it still needed more time to refine. If could be a few days, or a few months, but the information now was still extremely limited and could only be used as reference.
Regardless, Eileen wasn’t something that could be destroyed just because you wanted to. The calamity wouldn’t just come, and even if they looked for the chosen one, they won’t necessarily find them.
“Cough… Greenton, let’s talk about the prophecy later. Were you late today?” Woos coughed and changed the subject.
“Oh, are you talking about the awards ceremony? I-I got held up with something, hehe.” Greenton scratched his head embarrassed.
“With what?” Woos asked curosily.
“Nothing. Saintess Snow is going back to Winterless city, I met her before she left and asked her about the Lesser Devils.”
“What about it?”
“Venus Scoiety… you probably never heard of it before right, it’s also my first time hearing of it, is a secret society. Snow will report it all to the pope when she gets back and investigate.” After he briefly talked about what happened, Greenton laughed and talked about a lighthearted topic, “Oh right, that Saintess is really beautiful! Have you seen her?”
“I have. An outstanding child, but…”
“A bit dark.”
Woos bitterly smiled and nodded, silently agreeing.
Snow was indeed outstanding and appeared pure and innocent a natural Saintess, but even if she could hide it from others, she couldn’t from Greenton, or the almost dead old man.
“I really don’t know what she experienced. Old man, I specially looked into her before, what do you think? She actually wasn’t born blind!”
“So what?”
“Don’t rush, I even found out that before joining the church, she was caught to be a slave and her parents suddenly died then, the culprit is still unknown. I’m not clear on what happened next, I just know that she stayed with her brother… oh right, her eyes were injured at that time and she went blind.”
“Injured?”
“That child is just like you.”
“What are you talking about? I’m no match for her. When I was her age, I was still stealing alcohol at bars and almost got my legs broken and probably would’ve died if it wasn’t for you.”
“Hmph, that’s old news, what are you still mentioning that for?” Woos snorted and pretended that he didn’t hear anything.
“Haha… but seriously speaking, I’m quite interested in Snow’s brother. Brother Lin Xiao, brother Lin Xiao… heh, she kept repeating those words nonstop next to me. Old man, that kid is your student, right? Is he strong? What kind of person can make Snow care so much about? Could he be even stronger than Caesar?”
Since Snow is so outstanding, her brother that she admires so much should be as well, Greenton didn’t believe that someone as clever as Snow would have a good for nothing brother.
“Cough… then I’m afraid you might be disappointed.”
Above average strength and mediocre aptitude, though Lin Xiao puts on a good act, has a good head, more calm than people his age, but he’s lazy to the bone. A lack of ambition and was seen as useless by Caesar before.
“Hah? You’re not lying, right? I don’t believe you… call him over, I’ll interrogate him in person!”
“You’re out of luck, he just left.”
“Where?”
“He went to find Snow with his maid… you didn’t see him when you came?”
“No, we probably just missed each other… sigh, did he say what did he go to Snow for?”
“I think to say goodbye with his maid.”
“Maid? Goodbye?”
