Chapter 129: So Happy
Translator: Lonelytree
Matthew knew that it was Orgen blowing the Xun.
A faint sorrow surged into his heart.
He watched as Zhen Zhu’s figure disappeared into the waves.
His eyes couldn’t help but feel warm.
“Hey, Matthew, why are you crying?
Ella poked her head out of his chest and asked.
Matthew shook his head. He did not deny it completely.
“It’s just that the sea breeze is too strong, and I think of my hometown.” At this moment, he finally understood.
It was inevitable that the Su who had drifted here would wither.
The young people took off their burdens and integrated into the Aindor life. The elders could not do so, and their only option was to die at the bottom of the sea.
They faced the East until they died.
In a few years, when the last old man walked into the sea with a lantern, the island would become a deserted island, and the story of the Su would gradually become a legend.
They didn’t belong there, so they should leave.
The sound of Orgen’s xun gradually died down.
Matthew suddenly felt that he was enveloped by a large mass of darkness. In the endless spacetime, he seemed to have lost control of his body.
For a moment, he broke out in a cold sweat.
However, when he came back to his senses, he realized that nothing had happened.
Only the data column recorded everything faithfully.
[Hint: You have witnessed the entire process of the Lantern Festival. Your Knowledge +50 (Su);
[You have obtained the mark of the Lantern Festival, +10 Su friendliness;
[Warning: You are immune to calls from the bottom of the sea. Will +1.]
[You have successfully avoided the high-intensity charm multiple times in a row. You have automatically mastered a new ability: Unmovable Rock.]
[Unmovable Rock: After entering this state, you will gain extremely strong resistance to any mental attack (including Charm, Fear, Intimidation, Bluff, Singing, Mental Pierce, etc.]
[At the same time, your thinking speed and speech speed will be reduced to one-tenth of your usual speed. Please use this ability with caution.]
Matthew was shocked before he could check his new ability.
He didn’t expect Xuan Kunzi to be right. The Su didn’t enter the sea because of the curse but because of a charm!
Where did this charm come from?
What kind of creature was hidden in the vast sea that was calling out to the Su?
What would become of the Su after being charmed?
Matthew had no answers to these questions.
He was just a little scared. He didn’t expect the ceremony to be so dangerous. Fortunately, his resistance to charm was maxed out. Heart of Tranquil Water and high willpower were enough to give him close to legendary resistance!
“I have to be more careful in the future, not only during rituals but also festivals.
“But why is Orgen fine? He should have participated in several Lantern Festivities already. Could it be that this charm was only targeted at the Su?
Then what about me?”
After some puzzling thoughts, Matthew finally couldn’t help but glance at his new ability. He was quite satisfied.
Unmovable Rock’s advantage lay in its all-round increase in mental resistance.
Heart Like Still Water could only resist the charm, so its application was still a little narrow.
The only problem was that he had never tried to slow down his thinking. It seemed that he needed to train for a period of time. Otherwise, it would be easy to make mistakes if he used the ability.
At this moment, a tear-stained Orgen walked over with a Xun in his arms.
“Child, you have witnessed the entire process of the Lantern Festival. In the tradition of the Su people, you are one of us from now on.”
Orgen’s voice was very low, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to speak.
I’m very sorry that Zhen Zhu deceived you before. The Art of Equilibrium has not been completely cut off. The last Equilibrium Envoy still has a relative alive. That’s his grandson, Yu Lian. You can find him at the casino in Cordor City on the north shore. Take the letter from Li Weiqi, and he might be willing to help you.”
Matthew frowned and asked, “So, is he a gambler?”
Orgen’s tone became calmer.
“No, he’s the boss of the casino.”
Two days later, north of the Gold Coast, Cordor City.
Happy Casino.
As night fell, the casino was bustling with noise.
A short man wearing a beret, a huge backpack, and heavy armour that obviously did not match his body size walked through the crowd of gamblers.
He was only slightly taller than the table, and he might not be able to see everything on the table even if he stood on his tiptoes.
The waiters almost bumped into him several times.
In the end, he miraculously resolved all the troubles he had encountered.
He was so huge horizontally, but when he walked through the crowd, it was as if he had activated Stealth, and no one noticed him.
Shortie passed through the hall and came to a pitch-black door guarded by guards.
At this moment, there was still a queue in front of him. There was someone standing at the door to greet the queue. It was a slender woman with slightly raised eyebrows.
She did see Shortie, but she quickly ignored him.
“Yu Lian, come out!” The short one spoke in a childish voice. She seemed to be quite angry. She came up and pushed the tall and thin figure in front of her.
“Make way! Make way! Mage, I’m not cutting the queue. I’m going to blow up this casino.
“If you listen to my advice, either cast a few ‘Explosion Protection’ spells on yourself or leave this place immediately.”
Although Shortie’s voice was tender, it was full of energy. Everyone near the door heard it.
Everyone was stunned for about three to four seconds before bursting into laughter!
The tall and thin man turned around. He didn’t see anyone at first, but after a while, he lowered his head to follow the gazes of others and found the person he was talking to.
“Uh, hello, sir. Are you talking to me? Eh? Are you a dwarf?”
The mage’s eyes were filled with interest as if it was the first time he had encountered such a miniature race.
However. Shortie’s eves immediately became very fierce.
He said expressionlessly, “Mage! You’re in danger now. I can add you to my revenge list at any time!
“In order to prevent you from dying for no reason, I have to tell you a few things.
“First, I’m not a sir; I’m a lady. Is it that difficult to tell?”
Matthew was stunned.
His gaze swept across the other party’s ordinary chest and then he looked up along the neck that was tightly wrapped in an iron sheet.
Helmet, short hair, big eyes.
It was indeed not that easy to tell.
“Secondly, I’m not a dwarf. I’m just naturally short!
“As a mage, you are very unqualified and rude.
“If you don’t know how to differentiate between humans and dwarves, then I suggest you study ethnography and study the structure of the human body to avoid embarrassing yourself or even getting into trouble next time!
“Do you understand now?”
Although she was short, her words were very imposing.
Matthew realized that he had indeed been negligent, so he sincerely apologized. “I’m sorry, I didn’t have good eyesight.” “It’s okay. You don’t have to apologize to me.”
Shortie still had a cool expression on her face.
“First, there are many superficial people like you. I meet them almost every day.
“Secondly, whether you apologize or not, you’re already on my list of people I hate. I might take revenge on you at any time, so there’s no need for you to apologize now.”
After saying this.
Her gaze began to shift to the group of gamblers and guards who were watching the show.
‘ Finally, you gloating fools, do not underestimate the destructive ability of a vengeful Machinist.
“I’m serious. Yu Lian, get out now!”
The guards began to realize the seriousness of the matter.
The gamblers also retreated while the guards rushed over.
Shortie’s face instantly revealed a helpless expression.
“I knew it. If I didn’t show my skills, I would have to deal with the lackeys all day.
“Sound and Noise. Let’s teach them a lesson!”
As she spoke.
Two clockwork birds quickly crawled out of the bag on her back.
Chirp, chirp, chirp!
The two birds automatically rewound themselves and flew towards the guards!
