Chapter 289 Test
A place of dazzling gold. Staring at it
cause greed within.
The sky is made of gold, like a cage used to imprison people.
Even though it looks like a cage, it makes one feel richer.
A staggering amount of gold.
Seraph offered a can of food for a month in exchange for a chicken
in the hands of Gravin, the cook.
Gravin had personally made the chicken.
Gravin thought hastily, the offer he was offering was too much.
It could be said that three meals a day and a month's worth of food.
In a situation like this, no one would bother with chickens and choose canned food instead.
Gravin couldn't understand Seraph's thoughts at all. [What the hell is going on?
What is this kid planning?]
Seraph threw the can of pellet food at Gravin. Whoosh!
The clear blue can flew and landed in Gravin's hand. Thud!
Gravin took it, his gaze fixed on Seraph.
"What do you mean?" Gravin couldn't understand why Seraph had thrown him the canned food.
Seraph spoke in a calm voice, his gaze wary as ever.
"Nothing much. I'll have you examine it to see if it's the right thing.
I really want that chicken. If you want to trade it for this canned food, you can examine it.
I didn't put anything unusual in it. However, please examine the contents."
Seraph allowed Gravin to examine the contents.
[This is strange. Am I in the market? Why am I haggling for an exchange?]
Gravin examined the pills inside the can. Gravin's hand opened the can with a loud pop!
Gravin picked up the blue pill and stared at it, unperturbed.
Gravin's eyes glowed red. The blue pill in front of him was clearly visible.
[Normal appearance, energy lines, no poison, and no sign of anything hidden in the pill.
This means that this person wants this piece of chicken. What does that mean? Be extra careful, because there might be something in this.]
Gravin put the pellet back in the can.
"I have a question. Can I ask you?"
Seraph nodded in a friendly manner, not intending to be hostile. [What nonsense? Send me that chicken, and I'm going to take the precious thing that will save my life.
He still hesitated. What the hell are they carrying?
Those two are absurd. This guy is so cautious, it's annoying. Everyone I've met has been normal.]
"Please, you may ask."
Gravin pointed at the roasted chicken in his hand, which had a slight, appetizing aroma.
"What do you intend to use this for?"
Seraph replied without thinking, because it was so simple.
"Take it to someone to eat. So if I agree to go and serve as that person's subordinate,
that person will help me get out. That person wants the item in his hand.
[Maybe use it to make an offering and pray for us to be released. Usually a pig's head is used, but let's change it to a chicken's head.
At least it can be considered a worthy offering.]
Seraph sneered sarcastically, irritated by the nonsense, but didn't show it.
Gravin prepared for battle. "You have people with you? Who are they?"
Seraph thought for a moment. "Two children, if possible, you can meet those people. I'll show you the way."
Gravin looked at the two items in his hand. [At this time, there's still time to find good food, which means they must be very rich.
But the people who came here aren't weak. At least they should work together to get out of here first.]
"If I want to join the group, is it better to have more people than fewer? This place is dangerous. We should work together.
Gravin bowed his head and begged Seraph.
Seraph blinked, slightly puzzled. [Well, the one Fiona said could beat her.
He must be at least as strong as Fiona in Fiona's generation.
Alpha, you're considered the most skilled? Interesting.]
"I can take you there. The rest depends on your skill."
Gravin looked up. "Thank you very much. Thank you very much."
Seraph pointed behind himself. "If possible, could you lead the way? I have to be careful.
I hope you understand."
Seraph planned to let Gravin lead, and he followed.
Seraph wasn't about to let his guard down and leave a gap.
Gravin nodded and walked in the direction Seraph pointed, with Seraph following behind him, keeping a short distance.
Gravin, who was leading, turned to look at Seraph. "How did you get here?"
I was searching for a way to a place to establish a base.
I was engulfed in golden light and ended up here.
Yours...
You seem quite skilled. It must be a famous person.
Seraph shook his head in denial. "I was kidnapped, sir. And while fleeing from the bad guys, I ended up running this way.
And I was struck by a golden light. Just moments before I got here, I think I was struck by the same golden light you were."
Seraph followed Gravin. Time passed quickly.
Seraph and Gravin arrived at their destination.
Fiona was seen lying on the ground, relaxed, waving to Seraph.
Fiona shouted cheerfully, "Seraph, come here! I missed you so much! Why did you take so long?"
Seraph saw Gravin stop walking and start running towards Fiona.
Seraph ran unhurriedly. "Senior,"
Fiona looked at Gravin with a smile.
Gravin saw Fiona, deeply shocked, even though Fiona's face was covered in wounds.
But her beauty was still evident, her cheeks slightly red.
Fiona pursed her lips, looking embarrassed. "Is this Seraph? Is he your father?"
Seraph shook his head. [What kind of cat father is he? He looks like a stranger.]
"No, actually...?"
Fiona raised her hand to stop Seraph from saying anything more.
"So, your lover? A reunion is a celebration."
Fiona wiped away the tears that hadn't fallen from her own eyes.
"Congratulations, Seraph. Congratulations. I'm so impressed with your reunion."
Fiona's eyes met Seraph's cold gaze.
An encouraging tone escaped her lips.
"You did well. It's a long time since we last met. You've tried hard enough. You deserve a great reward for your success."
Fiona wiped away the tears of gratitude.
Seraph spoke up, "No, this person wants to join us."
Seraph ignored Fiona and turned to look at Alpha.
Alpha brought his hands together slightly, touching all ten fingers together.
His legs were crossed, his arms proudly adorned, and he stood behind Alpha with a golden statue.
He was crossing his arms, made entirely of gold.
Alpha's gaze scanned Gravin, who was staring at Fiona, his eyes unblinking.
Alpha spoke up, "What's your name?" His voice was firm, and he looked at Gravin, his gaze sharp as a knife.
Gravin heard, turned to look, and bowed slightly. [I can't believe such a beautiful girl is here.]
"Nice to meet you. My name is Gravin, a freelance cultivator with no roots."
Alpha nodded slightly. "Show me your abilities."
Seraph has shown his ability as a subordinate to me. Obediently following my orders,"
Alpha said, pointing at Sera.
Alpha continued, pointing his finger at Fiona.
"And the girl lying on the floor over there, showing off her ability to sleep on a golden surface, a decoration for me to admire."
Alpha pointed at Gravin. "And you, show me your ability. If you don't pass,
you won't be able to join me as an ornament."
Alpha looked at Gravin.
Seraph stood still, secretly looking at Fiona, who was giggling happily.
He thought this place was a theater, and the three of them were the main characters.
[Fiona, this girl is so cheerful. I envy her, even though she's a bit crazy.]
Gravin was stunned, completely confused, his eyes looking left and right. What should he do?
[Ability? Even though I'm not that talented.
But there's no way I can beat a kid like you.]
Gravin placed the chicken on the ground.
"Then, if I can show you my fighting skills, will you accept me to join you?"
Alpha smiled slightly, as if the sun was shining right in front of Gravin.
"Wow...!
Interesting. Would you like to apply to be my bodyguard?
Sure, I'll accept. But first, bring me that chicken to eat.
I can smell a delicious aroma."
Alpha pointed at the chicken on the ground and motioned for Gravin to hand it over.
Gravin picked up the chicken and handed it to Seraph, who ran to take it from Gravin.
Seraph took the chicken from Gravin and started running towards Alpha.
[This battle looks fun. I want to test my skills too.
At least I've been trained. I need to test my skills. Even if I use so much energy, I'm not fit for fighting.
If I can avoid it, I should.]
Seraph ran towards Alpha, who was sitting proudly. A strong aura emanated from the Alpha.
Gravin saw it and immediately knew, "This kid is strong."
The Alpha spoke up, "The rule is, if you can injure me or make me move, you win.
I'll sit and eat this chicken while I fight you.
I'll give it a try.
If you can't, you're no match for my bodyguard."
And the declaration that you'd eat while fighting Gravin was so arrogant and attention-grabbing.
Seraph wanted to ask where he got his confidence from.
