Chapter 231 - Six Sages (2/2)
”Huh?”
Viper suddenly didn't know what to say, and he looked a bit fl.u.s.tered as he wasn't expecting that kind of an answer from the Earl, especially when his tone suddenly turned very respectful and friendlier than when he first saw them.
”Quick, bring out some chairs for us” Earl Desmond quickly ordered his servants, while his wife and two children along with Davon just looked at Earl Desmond, Michael, and Amanda in confusion as they couldn't understand what is happening right now.
The servants quickly took out multiple chairs from inside the house, where they quickly placed it at the edge of a circular paved pathway. Earl Desmond took the middle seat, while his beautiful black haired wife called Abigail sat on his right, with their fifteen-year-old son sitting on her right.
And Viper shamelessly sat beside on the chair on the left of the Earl, as they started watching Michael and Amanda go at it at the spacious and grassy front yard at the side.
”Dear father, why are we watching them?” a little girl around seven years old said as she climbed on Earl Desmond's lap and sat on it while curiously looking at Micheal and Amanda who already started fighting with each other with no reason at all.
”Its something good dear,” Desmond said with a smile as he lovingly patted his daughter's head, then he leaned his body forward for a bit and turned towards his son and said, ”Son, you better watch them carefully. You might learn a thing or two from them, after all, they are disciples of two of the six sages”
”For real father!? I'm a huge fan of them, especially the Dragon Master!” exclaimed the Earl's son, whose boring expression quickly disappeared and started to intently watch the two people fighting.
”Dear, are they really disciples of those powerful people?” Abigail turned towards her husband and asked in excitement. After all, she would be able to brag to her friends who are also nobility that these prestigious people had visited their household.
”Of course!”
”Then why didn't you personally picked them up and sent Davon instead? What would happen if that offended them for some reason?” Abigail said in a low voice.
”I didn't know! I thought they were just some important guests of the Duke, and if I knew, then I would have certainly gone and picked them up myself” Earl Desmond's said in a loud voice until his voice slowly feebled under his wife's glare.
Meanwhile.
'Just what the f*ck is happening!?'
'Who the hell are the six sages to begin with!? Someone tell me! It certainly sounds amazing just from the reaction of the Earl and his family!'
Viper is screaming in his mind, as he just continued to watch the excited Earl family with a dumbfounded look on his face, even Davon who is standing on the side suddenly became pale as he started thinking to himself if there was instance earlier that he could have offended their group.
'F*ck, that Michael surely got a huge backing in this game!'
Viper stood and slowly stood beside the pale-faced Davon, he leaned towards him and whispered, ”Hey, who are the six sages that the Earl is talking about?”
Davon turned towards him with a disbelieving expression on his face and said, ”You...you haven't heard about them?”
Viper scoffed in annoyance and said, ”I wouldn't be asking about it if I knew, right?”
Davon coughed in embarrassment and then started telling him who they are, ”They are the most powerful people in the continent, and they saved this continent five hundred years ago from the invasion of the Sea Race along with the thousands upon thousands of unknown heroes who fought with them during that war…”
A couple of minutes later, he is now standing beside Davon inside the Earl's living room with an embarrassed Michael and Amanda sitting on the sofa, who clearly looked uncomfortable right now, especially with what happened earlier.
”Oh, shit really? They are that powerful that even emperors and kings have to be respectful of them?” Viper put one of his hands over his mouth and looked really shocked after Davon's lengthy story.
