Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing the Nameless Saint’s intentions, Mike paused to think awhile.
“Mr. Nameless Saint, did a dragon really appear in the far north of the northern district?”
Mike’s words instantly disrupted the Nameless Saint’s train of thought.
He smiled as he looked at the youth in front of him.
He then said, “Why? Are you intending on finding that dragon?”
Mike looked at the Nameless Saint determinedly and nodded his head vigorously.
“Of course!”
Hearing Mike’s answer, the Nameless Saint could not help but feel puzzled.
“Mike, does that dragon mean anything to you?”
“That’s right!”
Hearing Mike’s answer, the Nameless Saint felt quite moved by it.
“I’ve got it!
“I did a divination the night before last. Your fate is bound to that dragon!”
“Mr. Nameless Saint, can you see the future?”
Mike asked in confusion.
The Nameless Saint gave a rueful smile as he shook his head.
“I’m only speculating. I can’t see the future!”
“However, in my divination, that dragon will be enough to change the fate of this world!”
“Change the fate of this world?”
Mike asked again.
Looking at Mike who was clearly confused as he stood before him, the Nameless Saint did not say anything.
He continued to smile, but still did not say anything.
“You’ll find out one day then!”
As he spoke, the Nameless Saint finally turned his back.
“People will always have to say goodbye at some point. There’s no banquet that doesn’t end! Let’s go!”
As he said this, Mogg led a large group of horses towards the Nameless Saint.
“We’ll meet again if we’re fated!”
Without waiting for Mike to speak any further, the Nameless Saint and Mogg then left.
“Mike, what are your plans next?”
Asked Lilian as she looked at Mike.
Looking at Lilian’s serious expression, all Mike could say was, “I’m going north… To find the dragon!”
“Find the dragon? Are you crazy?”
Lilian blurted out.
For a while, Mike stared at Lilian who had no confidence in this.
After a sigh, he turned and walked towards their room.
“Mike! What are you doing?”
Hearing Lilian question him again, Mike seemed to have lose his patience.
“Packing up and getting ready to leave!”
“Aren’t you going to be with me?”
Lilian seemed to be a little discouraged.
She turned her head and looked to the side.
Hearing Lilian’s question, Mike was slightly stunned.
“Well, if you want to come, then follow me!”
After receiving Mike’s answer, Lilian’s expression improved slightly.
“Slow down! No one is fighting with you!”
…
After Mike and Lilian left Lecter City, it did not take long for them to travel all the way north to a place called Nanlian Town.
They found that the living conditions of the people here seemed to be very poor. Each and every one of them was skinny and sallow.
They did not look like the people of the Kingdom who had just established the Lieluo Empire.
“Mike, why do the people here look like this?”
Lilian looked at Mike with some worry on her face.
Actually, Mike really wanted to know what the local situation was as well.
Therefore, Mike stopped an old man who was passing by and asked, “Old Sir, what happened here? Why is it that everyone I see here does not look very healthy?”
The old man sighed in reply.
“Actually, Nanlian town used to be a rich town!”
“Then, how did it become like this?”
Mike continued to ask.
The old man sighed again and said, “Ever since the Lieluo Army defeated the southern part of the Empire, a large number of our young men went to join the Army!
“Since the establishment of the Lieluo Empire, these young men still have not returned.
“Moreover, we have constantly been disturbed by the bandits. The remaining people in Nanlian town are all old people like us.”
“The burden of our lives is already very heavy. In addition to these bandits who invade from time to time, it can be said that we have never had a good day!”
Hearing this, Mike asked angrily.
“These bandits are really going too far! Haven’t you considered asking for help from the nearby towns?”
After hearing Mike’s words, the old man sighed again and spoke again.
“Of course I have thought about it, but what’s the use? Most of the old people here are over 80 years old. Walking to the next town to ask for help will be difficult.
“It’s very difficult for us to even go down to the fields to do any farming work!”
When Mike heard this, he could not help but feel a wave of worry in his heart.
Then, the old man spoke again.
“Young man, you are from the north, right?”
Mike nodded and spoke again.
“Yes, we are from the south all the way to the north. Do you have any questions, sir?”
When he heard Mike’s answer, the old man seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving straw, and his tone suddenly became humble.
He pleaded with Mike.
“Young man, I beg you, I beg you, could you help us go to Lecter City and plead with the City Lord of Lecter City?
“Please ask them to send troops to help us suppress the bandits here!”
Mike looked at the humbled old man in front of him, and his heart was filled with grief.
He immediately helped the old man, who was kneeling in front of him, to get up before speaking.
“Old man, I promise you. Now, please get up quickly!”
After hearing Mike’s affirmative answer, the old man wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes.
Then he continued to speak.
“Young man, you are really the big benefactor of Nanlian Town!”
Seeing that the old man was about to kneel again, Mike immediately grabbed the old man’s sleeve and said.
“Old man, could you tell us about the bandits?”
The old man immediately said, “Of course. If you don’t mind, you can come to my house!”
“Thank you!”
Mike replied with a smile.
Then, following the lead of the old man, Mike and Lilian came to a dilapidated house.
The old man pushed the door open to reveal a nervous old woman in the room.
When the old woman saw Mike and Lilian, she immediately became more agitated.
Mike and Lilian looked at the old woman and couldn’t help but ask.
“Old sir, this is…”
Seeing that Mike and Lilian were puzzled, the old man explained.
“This is my wife. A few days ago, she was frightened by the bandits and became like this!”
As the old man spoke, his tears started to fall.
When Mike saw the old man like this, he quickly approached him to give him some comfort.
“Old sir, don’t worry. Take your time to speak..”
