Chapter 51: Just Beat… Break a Few Legs?_2
Translator: 549690339
The atmosphere became awkward.
This was because Yassen’s face had turned red. He was about to use all his strength to pour mana into the wooden token, but the wooden token in his hand did not change at all. It was as if all the mana had sunk into the sea.
What was going on?
The prosecutor and the city guards who were scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously looked at him.
Just now, the little girl had made a ” pa ” sound. It was very fast. It might not even take half a second for the wooden token to glow.
But why hasn’t the wooden token reacted at all after so long?
“Ahem…Ahem, wait a moment, I… I’ll go and get someone! Yasen couldn’t tell if his mana was too weak or if it was really just an ordinary wooden token. So, only the prosecutor and the city guard were left staring at Vivian.
This time, a long time had passed.
Just as the little girl was getting impatient, she heard footsteps again.
Although the person who had returned was also wearing the Fire God Sect’s robe, the patterns on it were clearly of a much higher grade than Yasen, who was following behind him.
Joseph, 2nd rank professional, Elementalist, Fire God Sect Deacon.
“Bring it over.” Their statuses were different, so their attitudes were naturally different.
Not to mention, it was a country bumpkin from a village.
Joseph’s voice was cold as he ordered the little girl sitting on the wooden chair.
Vivian could tell that the other party was also a big shot. The girl obediently handed over the wooden token.
Joseph carefully looked at the wooden token, and then, like Arsen, he began to pour mana into it.
And then…
The air seemed to freeze again.
The proud deacon had his head held high at first, but after a few seconds, he frowned when he saw the wooden token that was completely ignoring him.
“Are you sure that the wooden token lit up just now?”The Fire God Cult’s deacon was very suspicious that these people were working together to play with him.
“Absolutely!”
Yasen didn’t respond, but the prosecutor immediately spoke up. He had seen it with his own eyes.
“You, let it light up again.” As expected, Joseph still did not believe her. So, he threw the wooden token back to Vivian.
“Oh, okay…’
In fact, the little girl was also puzzled now. Why couldn’t these people wake up the wooden token? She had only injected a little bit of magic power and there was a reaction!
Vivian did the same thing and repeated the first step. It was easy. In the blink of an eye, a dazzling flame flashed in front of everyone.
Ah, this…
Now, the pressure was on the Fire God Cult’s deacon, Joseph.
Sensing the awkwvard gaze of his disciple, Yassen, and the suspicious gaze of the city guards, Joseph couldn’t put down his face.
He pretended to cough and did not even ask. He reached out and snatched the token from Vivian’s palm.
This time, the Fire God Cult deacon had used all his strength.
Joseph’s face turned red, and he tried his best to urge all the mana in his body. His body even began to tremble, and he couldn’t stand steadily.
Finally!
Joseph’s efforts were finally paying off!
A faint red light, like a small flame, slowly emerged from the wooden token. However, unlike the dazzling light that Vivian had previously emitted, the one in the Fire God Sect deacon’s hand was like a candle that would be extinguished by the wind.
“Phew… Hu hu…”
Even so, Joseph only managed to hold on for two to three seconds before he lost all his energy and almost fell down. However, it was still Yasen who had sharp eyes and quickly caught him.
“Lord Deacon, you..Are you alright?” Yasen asked his mentor worriedly.
However, Joseph didn’t feel good hearing those words.
He was the official deacon of the Fire God Cult and was respected by countless nobles in Fire Code City. He should be the one who was most favored by the Fire God. Could he be inferior to a village girl from the countryside?
“Mr. Joseph, look, this token is…”
The prosecutor’s question was interrupted by Joseph.
Joseph was now certain that this token was the legendary Fire God Token.
However…
“Cough, I’m not feeling well today. I have to bring this token back to our Fire
God Sect to be appraised. “The Fire God Cult’s deacon said with a straight face.
Joseph would definitely not admit that this was the Fire God Token on the spot. Otherwise, where would he put his face?
As for her, she, Joseph glanced at Vivian, who was dressed in simple clothes and was a little dirty because she was in a hurry.
To be honest, he really could not figure out how such a person could have a connection with the Fire God Token.
But no matter what…
No matter what the other party’s identity was, he had come with the Fire God Token after all. He had to take it seriously.
Hence…
“Let her wait here first.”
“Yes…”
“Get me another glass of water.”
This was the deacon’s understanding of ” importance “.
Joseph felt that he had given enough face to a village girl who came out of nowhere.
After that, he took the token and left without looking back.
But what he did not expect was that the little girl from the countryside actually called out to him.
“Please wait a moment!”
“You can leave, but…Please return the token to me.” Vivian’s tone was very serious. For the first time, she stood up from her chair.
The Magical Beasts in the Dreadclaw Forest had gone on a rampage, and the strange black hand in the lair deep in the forest…
Even if Vivian had never seen the world, she knew that these were important matters. There were also many villages near the forest that might be in danger, waiting for her to call for help from Fire Code City.
As for her, she was a penniless and lowly villager. The only thing that could prove her words and make everyone believe her was this Fire God Token. Therefore, Vivian, who had always been weak, was extremely tough when she saw that Joseph wanted to take her away.
The Fire God Cult deacon stopped.
He turned his head, his face full of disbelief. His expression was even more exaggerated than when he saw the real Fire God Token just now.
Joseph didn’t understand.
Why did the other party dare to speak to me like this?
However, the mocking words that he had imagined did not appear because the deacon could not even be bothered to respond. He felt that he was simply lowering his price by talking nonsense with a villager.
As for the prosecutor and the city guards at the side, they also looked at this little girl from the countryside with strange gazes.
Wasn’t it obvious? If someone asked you to wait here and didn’t chase you away directly, it meant that they were just looking for a way out. In a while, they would definitely let you enter the city.
He was a deacon, a middle-level figure of the Fire God Sect. If he were to really be considered an official, he would be much higher than a prosecutor like him. How could a villager without power and influence afford to offend him?
Just as the prosecutor was about to give Vivian a look to tell the silly girl to shut up and talk less…
He noticed that after the girl failed to stop him, she lowered her head just like how she did when she first registered her gender.
This time, the prosecutor finally heard what the girl was mumbling. “Well, they’re not really bad people. Later…Be gentle, okay?”
[Yes, yes, yes…]
“Well, you have to promise me that no one will die!
[Yes, yes, yes!]
“That…’
[Hey! Are you done?]
“No, what I mean is that after thinking about it again, I feel that the others indeed don’t seem to be bad people, but that Fire God Cult deacon leading them should be… Bad guy!”
“You can teach him a lesson later. Ah, of course, don’t be too heavy. Just hit…
How about breaking a few legs?”
“The other me, then, I’ll leave it to you!”
