Chapter 911 - Escaping Saint (2)
Chapter 911
(Unedited)
…
"It seems that you guys are blinded by your own folly not knowing good from evil…" Shin Jiao mocked as he looks at the captain who just attacked him.
The captain is now trembling in fear but he did not let go of his sword. Instead, he gritted his teeth as he suddenly rushes towards Shin Jiao swinging his sword with all his might. He did not want to give up and did not want to surrender. For him, if this guy is really a powerful dark Grand Magus, then the life of the saint would now be in peril. Without her giving birth to the line of future saints, then when the dark forces rise, it would be the defeat of the forces of light.
Those who still remember the hardship they have in living their lives in the outer world would not want to go back to that old life. They have to hold on to the life that they have today. They have to protect their safety and the security of the current kingdom.
The captain swings his sword, but then suddenly he tumbled as his sword suddenly stopped. His body could not help but be forced backward by a rebounding force that forces him to let go of his sword.
The captain could not help but pick himself up and looks at the sword being stopped in between the two fingers of his enemy.
"Captain! That is enough! If you disobey me again, I will let every one of you return to the inner kingdom and I will travel alone!" suddenly Gwendolyn shouted as a glowing aura erupted from her.
Everyone stopped and did not dare make a move, while Shin Jiao threw the captain's sword back to its owner.
This is the stern command from the saint. However, they were strictly commanded by the king to protect her no matter what happens. Plus behind them, a Grand Magus is coming. So they are not afraid to fight against this guy.
But of course, the saint's words still have their weight on their consciousness.
"I am sorry for my soldier's audacity in attacking you... It's just that they think that you are someone from the dark faith." She said while bowing her head in apology.
Shin Jiao just looks at her and waves his hand.
Right at this moment, he suddenly feels a strong aura surging towards them.
"A Grand Magus…" Shin Jiao muttered while looking in the direction of the strong aura.
When the people around him heard his words, they too look in the direction where he was looking at.
After a few seconds, they also feel the strong aura and soon a figure appears floating above the trees.
"What is happening here?" shouted the person who landed on top of a treetop.
"We greet the Grand Magus Enosis!"
"We greet the Grand Magus Enosis!"
The soldiers and the mages greeted the Grand Magus who has a condescending look on his face.
The man is around 6 feet tall with a long gray beard reaching his chest; he wore a gray robe with red patterns that looks like fire. On his hand is a modified rifle staff that looks like a double-barreled shotgun.
Then the captain steps forward.
He took a glance at the saint and then at the man named Shin Jiao. He then lowers himself and reported.
"Grand Magus, the saint has detected someone who is a part of the dark faith." He said ambiguously.
His words made the Grand Magus turn to the only person among the group who is wearing a dark overcoat.
But when his eyes landed on that guy, he frowned as he did not see any dark aura in his body.
"Where are they?" the Grand Magus asked with a serious expression.
The captain looks at Shin Jiao with an obvious hint, but his expression change when the Grand Magus continues scanning the rest of the soldiers.
"It was just a misunderstanding Grand Magus Enosis…" this time Gwendolyn Grav said while stepping forward.
The Grand Magus did not stand in attention as he quickly appears on the ground while bowing towards the saint.
"I am sorry that I was late your ladyship… I was preoccupied with those new things coming from central town. I wanted to visit that place a while back, but the things that I have to take care of in the tower are far too numerous… Sigh…"
"It's okay, we can visit Central Town after we coming to Main Arjing City…" the saint said.
"My dear Saint, I hope that you would not escape like this again. It really causes us too much trouble you know…" the Grand Magus said after remembering the reason he was called in this place.
The saint seems to have escaped again. Luckily the king has assigned loyal subordinates to assist her; else they would never know where she would go again.
While they are talking, Shin Jiao felt like he is not needed in this place anymore so he turns around.
Suddenly he was stopped by the old Grand Magus.
"Wait! Who are you?"
"I am Shin Jiao, from Central Town…" Shin Jiao said.
"Hmm… Your name… it sounds familiar…"
When the Grand Magus said that, the expression of Gwendolyn Grav immediately changes to one of shock and realization.
She was not aware of that name at first because she was too focused on what had happened. But now that the Grand Magus reminded her, she now remembers that name.
It was the name that her uncle Lamier and brother Jun has mentioned to his father, the one that they invited to enter the inner kingdom.
What she can remember is that he was called to the inner kingdom by the king to discuss something about advancing the technology of the kingdom.
She also heard that this guy is the leader of the famous merchant group, the Mystique Shop.
They are the group that has revolutionized the lives of the people in Central Town and Main Arjing city. And right now, those two places have gained the attention of the whole kingdom and are now considered as the most visited place in the whole land.
In Central Town, it is rumored that there are other races living among the humans. The atmosphere in that place is one of tranquility and harmony even though there are now different races that existed in that place.
And so, many nobles from the inner kingdom wanted to visit that place. However, how could that be easy? Because the people in the inner kingdom have not yet consolidated their power and are now in a state of turmoil while they are fighting to gain more power and riches, they have no time nor desire to go back to the outer world.
They like their lives in the inner kingdom. Though there are many political fighting, scheming, and plotting against each other, it is still considered peaceful that living in the wilderness.
And so the legend of the Mystique Shop has already spread in the many cities in the inner kingdom especially the capital city.
"Haha… You are the man that the king has invited to the inner kingdom. This is great! If it is not a burden to you, I would like to escort you to the inner kingdom along with the saint. This way we can travel together." Grand Magus Enosis said.
"By the way, I am Mao Enosis. Grand Magus from the Tower of Light..." he said as he cupped his hand in greetings.
"Tower of Light?"
"Haha… Yes, I am a college of Tong Liwen… He is 2 years older than me, so I'm not that old… Hehe…"
Hearing the old man's words, Shin Jiao could not help but smile. Tong Liwenis 105 years old, so this guy is 103, saying that he is not that old made Shin Jiao want to laugh.
Even combining with his age as an earthling and as immortal, he has not even reached the age of 100. These people are still his seniors. Plus he did not know how long has this man stayed in the kingdom, so considering this, he knew that this guy is really old.
But of course, he could not just say that in his face.
"This junior greets the senior. Sorry for my impolite gesture…" Shin Jiao said while cupping his hand.
"Haha… No worries, we will have to leave then."
"Wait… Grand Magus Enosis… I need to…" Gwendolyn wanted to go back to her travel.
"No… This is not the time for you to be willful, princess… We have an important guess to the inner kingdom. You are the saint, you should know the importance of this thing…" the old man reprimanded.
Seeing the pouting pretty face of the princess, Shin Jiao could not help but smile. He did not know why, but this woman and Isabel seem to have the same temperament, not to mention the aura of their bodies is almost the same.
Without any choice, Gwendolyn could not help but felt defeated.
"If I may, I would like to offer you two a ride to my ship…" Shin Jiao offered which made the people around him look at him confused.
