Chapter 501: Chapter 41Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Outside the G.o.d’s Kingdom, the Joy of the Wild, Sui Xiong frowned. He was guarding here, but suddenly his body shook.
Leonard, the Armored Great Lion, was not far away from him. Seeing the situation of Sui Xiong, Leonard immediately asked him what had happened.
“Hasarin just escaped from my brother’s cage and sneaked into Void City. She gave up her life to save Dyalt,” Sui Xiong said, sighing. “Her attack was extraordinary. The G.o.d tree that relies on the earth veins was killed by her attack. It was lucky that my avatar was still hidden in the G.o.d tree. After killing the G.o.d tree, her attack was not that powerful. I resisted it and prevented the priesthood of Fear from being released.”
Leonard was stunned. He asked, frowning, “She has a helper? Can you find out who her helper is?”
Of course, Leonard should ask this question. The G.o.d of Shadow and a.s.sa.s.sination was just a mid-level Divine Power, and she wasn’t a warrior who was good at face-to-face fighting. It was absolutely impossible for her to escape after being locked into a cage by a great Divine Power, the G.o.d of Justice.
However, she escaped.
Therefore, when Leonard thought about it, he understood that the key to the problem was to trace the one who had helped Hasarin escape. As for Hasarin and Dyalt, they were fallen G.o.ds. They were not worthy of his attention.
Sui Xiong closed his eyes and looked the dagger over carefully. First, his eyes lit up, but then he shook his head.
“I found some interesting information, but it’s not related to the incident of her escaping from the cage. I didn’t sense other G.o.ds. It seems that she escaped by her own power,” Sui Xiong said.
“Incredible!” Leonard said.
“Yeah, amazing timing,” Yorgaardman, the G.o.d of Justice, said. His figure suddenly appeared beside them. He said, sighing, “Not too early or too late. It happened just during the few seconds when I was concentrating on protecting Javier. At that time, the strength of the cage weakened. I thought she couldn’t feel it, but she actually felt it. Moreover, she actually used those seconds to escape from the cage without any hesitation. She’s amazing. I looked down on her!”
“Yeah, we all looked down on her,” Sui Xiong said with a smile. “But she also looked down on us.”
“We looked down on her, so she was able to escape. She looked down on us, so she eventually ended her life in vain.”
This pa.s.sage eventually became the footnote of Hasarin, the G.o.d of Shadow and a.s.sa.s.sination.
After a short chat, they didn’t pay attention to Hasarin anymore and continued to guard Javier.
In the G.o.d’s Kingdom, Javier, who had lost his deity, was raising his hands up to the sky, praying silently.
He was calling for the agitation of the source of the world. With his understanding of the concept of pleasure and the promotion of this concept, he was trying to attract the corresponding priesthood.
This was a big event that had attracted the attention of the G.o.ds.
Therefore, another little thing that happened at the same time was almost unnoticed.
“Master Tu Ya’an, can you do it or not?” Cambrona asked. His face was still fat, but his body was not fat anymore. His body was strong. He already had some white hair on both sideburns. He had originally been gentle, but now he had several obvious scars on his face, and the scars made him look fierce. The former No. 1 lawyer of Mill City in the South, Cambrona, was now standing in a bas.e.m.e.nt, facing a huge sink. He was talking unfriendly to a fat man in a black robe next to him.
Hearing his doubts, the fat man turned his head and glared at him. The fat man’s eyes flashed with horrible cold light, and that was fierce enough to stop children from crying at night. However, it couldn’t make Cambrona sacred. Instead, it brought his complaint.
“Master! Can you be serious? Don’t look around!” Cambrona complained.
“I am a Legendary Mage. Will you die if you just respect me?” the fat man said.
“Respect your a.s.s! No one will respect a fat man who is willing to lie on the ground and let a little girl ride him like a horse!” Cambrona said.
“She is my sister!” the fat man said.
“I also have a sister. Why don’t I do that?” Cambrona said.
“Your sister looks like a female bear. Her b.u.t.t can break a person’s waist. Only a madman would carry her! My sister is so beautiful and cute!” the fat man said.
Hearing the fat man’s words, Cambrona’s face trembled. It took him a lot of effort to hold back his complaints. Your sister is so beautiful and cute? She’s a little girl who will never grow up, a living dead who relies on the legendary artifact, the Life Cabinet, to sustain life. How can she be beautiful and cute?
Well, to be honest, the little girl was really pretty, and her character was pretty cute. However, she was almost 40 years old. Cambrona was not a pervert. He was not concerned about a beautiful and cute girl.
In contrast, he was more concerned about the situation of his wife.
More than a decade ago, his wife had been ill and had fallen into a coma. Countless doctors and priests had had no way to cure her. His comatose wife had thinned day by day, and she was about to die soon. Seeing that, in desperation, he had become a drowning man who would clutch a straw. He had found Tu Ya’an, a necromancer who was disreputable.
Tu Ya’an was one of the two Legendary Mages in Mill City. However, compared to the highly respected Master Mia, Tu Ya’an, the close disciple of Master Mia, was not respected by others. It was said that he specialized in Dead Soul Spells, so his character was unsocial and arrogant. He hated coming in contact with others. He always locked himself in a magic tower in the mountains, and the tower was guarded by a group of rancid zombies all day long. He never went out. Anyone who had dared to find him had become a member of the group of zombies, wandering around his magic tower.
If Cambrona had had another way, he would never have gone to find Tu Ya’an. However, he had finally gone to find Tu Ya’an.
Around the magic tower of Tu Ya’an, there had indeed been a group of horrible rancid zombies. However, it had been strange that those zombies hadn’t attacked Cambrona. They had just acted as if Cambrona had never existed.
Therefore, he had easily gone to the gate of the magic tower. He had shouted a few times and called for Master Tu Ya’an to come out.
Seeing the visit of Cambrona, Tu Ya’an had also been confused. He had grabbed Cambrona, a fat man who had been quite similar to himself, dragging Cambrona into the magic tower. He had done several experiments on Cambrona without any words.
The experiments hadn’t been painful or dangerous. Cambrona hadn’t suffered any harm. However, Tu Ya’an seemed to be deeply hurt. He had muttered to himself, sitting on the side blankly, “The world is crazy. Not fair at all.”
Cambrona hadn’t understood why, and he hadn’t wanted to ask more. He directly asked Tu Ya’an to help save his wife.
In the beginning, Tu Ya’an refused. He had also thrown Cambrona out of the magic tower directly. He sent two monster statues to take Cambrona back to Mill City. However, the next morning, Tu Ya’an had hurried to the home of Cambrona. He expressed that he had done a bad job yesterday, and that had been inappropriate. He had hoped that Cambrona would give him a chance to make up for that a little.
Cambrona hadn’t understood why a Legendary Mage had been so humble, but he wasn’t a person who liked to ask questions. He had taken Tu Ya’an to the inner room and asked Tu Ya’an to help him cure his wife.
After taking a look, Tu Ya’an had promised to do his best to cure her. He had even used the honor of his teacher, Master Mia, to promise. Maybe he had also known that he had been disreputable, and his reputation couldn’t be used to promise.
Moreover, Tu Ya’an had really done what he had said. He had paused all his research projects and had tried his best to cure Jane, Cambrona’s wife. To cure her, he had used countless precious materials, and so much money had been spent by him just like running water. Cambrona was surprised.
He wasn’t a young child who had been inexperienced. Among the precious materials that had been used by Master Tu Ya’an, although he had only known no more than one-third of them, the value of that one-third had been ten times more valuable than all of his a.s.sets!
As had been known, Cambrona had been the No.1 lawyer in Mill City, so he had been quite wealthy. At least, just for curing Jane, he had spent almost 2,000 gold coins before.
However, compared to the cost of Master Tu Ya’an, his cost hadn’t been worth mentioning.
He hadn’t known Master Tu Ya’an before, and they hadn’t had any friends.h.i.+p. Why had Master Tu Ya’an spent such a price on helping him?
He had wanted to ask Master Tu Ya’an, but he hadn’t dared to ask.
If a person should know something, others would tell him before he asked. If a person shouldn’t know something, then he shouldn’t ask.
So he hadn’t asked.
Master Tu Ya’an had been very polite to Cambrona, but Cambrona had been worried. He couldn’t help the master to save his wife in the complicated magic experiments, so he had told Master Tu Ya’an that he had wanted to do something for the master.
At first, Master Tu Ya’an hadn’t wanted him to do anything. However, the same morning, the master had hurriedly found Cambrona, saying that Cambrona had been idle for too long. The master had said that Cambrona needed to cheer up quickly, so the master had helped Cambrona apply for the Regiment of Knights.
Since the fall of the G.o.d of Knights, eight G.o.ddesses of Virtue had inherited his authority. Strictly speaking, these eight G.o.ddesses weren’t true G.o.ds, and the level of their deities hadn’t reached the level of a weak Divine Power. They needed to rely on the acc.u.mulation of power for a long time, absorb enough faith, and own enough believers to become true G.o.ds.
Nowadays in the world, Regiments of Knights often chose one of the eight G.o.ddesses of Virtue as their own faith. The Regiment of Knights where Cambrona had been trained believed in the G.o.ddess of Tolerance, one of the eight G.o.ddesses of Virtues. This G.o.ddess asked her followers to be tolerant and to be compa.s.sionate to kind creatures. She asked her believers to use their own force temperately and to cast their anger and power to the evil and cruel ones. Among the eight G.o.ddesses of Virtue, the size of her faith was in the mid-level. However, it was at least not very small.
As its name, the Tolerant Knights were a group of quite tolerant knights. However, facing Cambrona, the lawyer who had a bad reputation, they hadn’t been very tolerant. They had given him a very rigorous training course.
Combrona had completed the training course in a year, and the knights had been amazed by his rapid progress. More than one knight had said that Cambrona had wasted his time in the previous 20 years. If he had come to be a knight earlier, he might have already been a famous strong man.
A famous strong man? Then die on the battlefield on Sun’s Death Day?
Cambrona had complained secretly in his heart, and then he had continued to devote himself to more rigorous advanced training.
After another two years, the knights had taken him to kill monsters. The plateaus were in the South, so the concentration of magic was high. Monsters were everywhere, so they needed constant annihilation to ensure the safety of residents and travelers. Many knights had grown up in such battles. Some had become famous, and more had died in obscurity.
In the next five years, Combrona had experienced many battles. He had suffered a lot of injuries and had really grown up. The head of the Knights, Florio, a beautiful female knight, had given him a certificate, acknowledging that he was a fully qualified knight.
Cambrona, who had completed all the training programs, had hurried back to the magic tower of Master Tu Ya’an. He had wanted to report the good news to his wife. However, he found that his wife was still asleep. Master Tu Ya’an had been busy for so many years, and he had never been able to wake her.
Because of that, he had suddenly become angry, and he had naturally become impolite to Master Tu Ya’an. Moreover, during this long-term relations.h.i.+p, he had found that the character of Master Tu Ya’an was really disreputable. His character wasn’t that bad, but people couldn’t respect him, either. Therefore, the two sides had gradually shaped such a strange relations.h.i.+p.
“Hey! This morning, you said that my wife’s situation seemed to have changed. What happened?” Cambrona asked.
“I don’t know,” Master Tu Ya’an answered.
“You don’t know?! Haven’t you been studying her for more than ten years?” Cambrona asked.
“I don’t know! I don’t know! Do you think that your wife’s situation is normal? What do you think can be studied in a decade? Let me tell you… No, I won’t tell you. You shouldn’t know about this,” Master Tu Ya’an said.
“What is f**king happening? Why shouldn’t I know the things about my wife?” Cambrona said.
“In short, you don’t need to ask. Even if you ask me, I won’t tell you. Put down your sword. Even if you kill me with your sword, I won’t say it!” Master Tu Ya’an said.
“Master Tu Ya’an, let’s not mention any secrets. Give me a definite answer. Will my wife wake up or not?” Cambrona said.
“She will sooner or later,” Master Tu Ya’an said.
“When is this ‘sooner or later?’” Cambrona asked.
“I don’t know,” Master Tu Ya’an answered.
“I am not surprised that you don’t know, but why do you feel so confident and energetic this morning?” Cambrona said.
“I… Tessa praised me today. She praised me for doing things seriously, and I was happy!” Master Tu Ya’an said.
Hearing that, Combrona finally couldn’t help but get angry. He jumped up, grabbing Tu Ya’an’s collar. He yelled, shaking Tu Ya’an back and forth, “Can you tell me any more c.r.a.p? Your sister praised you for doing things seriously?! Do you want me to drag you to her to make a confrontation now!”
Cambrona shouldn’t be blamed for his overreaction. Tessa, Tu Ya’an’s sister, always liked to criticize her brother. She didn’t really hate her brother, she only behaved like a housekeeper. She often criticized him for sleeping too late at night, for not bathing, not eating healthy foods, being too lazy, and for lacking entrepreneurial spirit.
Will she praise Tu Ya’an for doing things seriously? Are you f**king kidding me? Did the sun rise from the west today?
Tu Ya’an smiled awkwardly, but his smile immediately froze on his face. He revealed an incredible facial expression, looking straight behind Cambrona.
“How… How can that be possible?!” Master Tu Ya’an muttered.
Cambrona noticed his look, and he vaguely guessed something. He hurriedly loosened his grip and turned around.
He saw his wife who had been in a coma for more than a decade standing up from the wonderful potion that was made from countless precious materials. Green water was dripping down her black hair, flowing on her good figure and finally returning to the sink.
Cambrona opened his mouth. He didn’t know what to say.
Countless thoughts came up together, making him feel confused and speechless.
Just then, a crisp and delicate voice sounded.
“Brother! What are you looking at!”
Tu Ya’an turned his head so quickly that he could even hear his neck bones cracking.
But it was still a little late.
A girl rushed over. She had faded white hair and looked a little similar to Tu Ya’an. However, she was a lot younger. There was 2% charm, 3% vicissitude, and 95% anger in her eyes. She completely ignored her burdensome, full-length dress and rushed over, punching her brother in the stomach heavily. Tu Ya’an bent down, letting out a low groan.
After such a punch, the powerful Legendary Mage completely lost his action capability. Then the girl picked up her skirt and bowed to the Cambrona couple, dragging her half-dead brother away.
Outside the door, the conversation between the brother and the sister sounded vague.
“Brother, you’re so shameless! She doesn’t wear clothes. You shouldn’t look at her!” Tessa said.
“She didn’t wear clothes during the treatment in these years,” Tu Ya’an said.
“Treatment is different!” Tessa said.
“How is it different?” Tu Ya’an said.
“Stop quibbling!” Tessa said. Then, came the sounds of punching.
Finally, when all the sounds were gradually gone, there came a strange sound.
“Brother, you should only look at me.” Cambrona didn’t know whether this was his imagination or not.
