Chapter 27 Part 2

Hold on? Isn't this the best time for me to escape?

Right now, the remaining people that were left in the square were all chatting in an extremely relaxed manner. Dairo seemed to have gotten himself in a quarrel with Lambert once again as he brought out his flintlock and fired a few shots at Lambert. Meanwhile, Lambert was cowering on the ground, and using his armor to block his weak points from being shot at. His appearance currently completely coincided with the image of a hermit crab.

All right! The time is now! The opportunity is fleeting! It's time to escape from here… Hmm?

Just as I began to act on my plan of escaping from this place, I suddenly realised  a man was standing behind me with aura befitting of an emperor. He was using his mighty sight to look towards the horizon whilst his fingers were stroking the corners of his slightly curved up mouth.

I'm not sure whether if it was because I was looking up at him from an angle below, but his posture looked much more magnificent than it was from the usual. Though he was old, his eyes looked extremely sharp. I trembled under his awe-inspiring aura of righteousness, and surrendered myself to his feet.

Oh, the previous village chief… What are your orders?

“Though the tortoise blessed with magic powers lives long, its days have their allotted span; though winged serpents ride high on the mist, they turn to dust and ashes at the last; An old war-horse may be stabled, yet still it longs to gallop a thousand li; And a n.o.ble hearted man though advanced in years never abandons his proud aspirations.

Man's span of life , whether long or short, depends not on Heaven alone;

One who eats well and keeps cheerful can live to a great old age.

And so , with joy in my heart, I hum this song.”

Agreed, what you said is right.

I'll be on my way now, please carry on.

Village chief~ Where are you? Your father has once again run out from the house and is acting cute! Hurry up and catch him back!

As I got up from the ground and was ready to escape from this crazy old man beside me, I felt a faint tug pulling at my sleeve.
