The Geared Immortal

Chapter 816

(Unedited)

…

The next day…

The people living in the village began to clean everything up and many came to the location of the manor where only rubbles are left. The scene made everyone in the village showed fear and awe in their face while looking at the devastation in front of their eyes.

They already knew how powerful Arch-mages are and how terrible they could be, but seeing the destruction which was brought by two people made everyone show fear and respect in their expressions.

"What would the Great White Tower of Dugal do after this? Will they blame this thing to our village?"

"I hope they would not destroy this village just because of some strangers… I mean we have nothing to do with this, right?"

"Well, for me, I will leave with my family today. I don\'t want to be embroiled in this matter. Leaving this village and going to Fronzia town would be ideal… I\'ve been wanting to move a while ago, I guess it\'s time then."

The people began to discuss around the area where the once manor is now laid into ruins with a large crater in the middle.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao has come to the Immortal Land mainframe where he discovers that it is still actually possible to connect even in the Xinglo Kingdom in the Land of Death.

He meets up with Luna Halil and Maga Luan. He also saw the Jung family in there as they too have now entered the virtual world through the trials of the machines that Luna has created. So far there are around ten machines that she was able to make as a prototype and a part of the research is being conducted by Luna to improve the machines.

Inside the virtual world, they all began reporting the progress of the Ji village and the incoming Heaven and Earth Opening for all the races living in the Immortal Land.

While listening to their reports, Shin Jiao showed a satisfied look on his face as he saw the progress and growth of the product of his hard work and goal.

He feels a bit confident that if he leaves this place and his loved ones enter the immortal land; they would have a place they would call their own and they would remember him by.

  Sometimes, Shin Jiao asks himself, for whom is he doing these things? Why is he really working hard to do the things he is doing?

Upon thinking to this point, two faces appear in his mind, a handsome young man and a little baby girl. Those two are his children and his posterity. Upon thinking up to this point, he remembers the night when he and Qin Lou was together, they named the little baby girl who looks like her mother the same name, Susan…

She is one of Shin Jiao\'s regrets as he was not able to see her grow. He has a lot of regrets in his life for the things that had happened to him, and this is the reason why he is doing everything in his power to create a brighter future for the people he loved and those who trusted him.

…

When Shin Jiao opened his eyes, he could see that the morning sun is already high up in the sky. Meanwhile, as he scanned the shop, he saw the three already packed and ready to leave, and also the Fabio Mur talking with Jason Mirk and on his side is his son Mario Mur.

When Shin Jiao walks out, everyone turns their attention towards him.

Fabio Mur immediately greeted Shin Jiao with cupped fists as he knew that in the outside world, this is how they greeted each other. Since the Land of Death belongs to the Long clan territory, this is the way of greeting most immortals in that territory.

"Master Shin… Good day!"

Shin Jiao just nodded his head and shifted his gaze to the young child. A slight smile appears on his face as he could see the four elemental affiliations inside of Mario Mur\'s body. It seems that something has disturbed the balance of his aptitude making them chaotic which in turn made Mario Mur unable to wield proper spell.

"Come here, child…" Shin Jiao gestured making the young boy approach with hesitation.

He feels afraid and at the same time expectant of what this powerful master is going to help him. He truly wanted to become stronger and make his parent proud of him, and now, this is his chance. So even though he is afraid he still takes a step forward and approached Shin Jiao.

"Hmm… Brave child…" Shin Jiao thought as he extended his index finger and touches the forehead of the Marion Mur who turned pale in fright but did not move from his spot.

Soon a cool stream of energy enters his mind and a stream of knowledge slowly embedded itself in his subconscious mind.

"These spells and techniques could help you grow at a rapid pace. But remember… contemplate everything little by little, work smart, and comprehend everything thoroughly. This is your path to greater power… if you are able to grow and reach the Elemental Lord level, contact me using what I left in your mind. Good luck…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

Not long later, the Shin Jiao and his group left while also leaving Jason Mirk some basic formulas that could help him concoct some effective pills and some gold. This is his payment for letting them stay in his shop for a while and for the renovation of his shop.

While Shin Jiao and his group walk to the exit of the village, he suddenly has an urge to scan his surroundings. And upon doing so, he saw some familiar figures.

They are not friends, but acquaintances. In fact, they are enemies meeting on a narrow road.

Shin Jiao walks towards the direction of a mage house with a wooden sign that reads, \'Slave trader\'.

With a smirk on his mouth, he walks inside the room.

He was greeted by a beautiful blonde woman showing a fawning smile. But when she noticed the two beauties behind Shin Jiao she sighed helplessly. She was going to use her beauty to attract this customer but it seems that with the two beauties behind him, it would be futile.

"Welcome! Welcome! What can I help you with?" she said with a smile.

Inside the large room, there are already a few people talking to some of the personnel from the shop.

"We are here to check at some people…" Shin Jiao said.

When he said that, some people took a glance in his direction and immediately noticed the two beautiful women behind him.

But instead of desire and greed, Shin Jiao noticed the expression of everyone in the room turned into fear.

They might have recognized those two beauties from last night; hence they knew that with them is a powerful and mysterious man.

"We are selling…" the young receptionist wanted to say something when she was interrupted by an old man who suddenly walks towards Shin Jiao\'s group.

The young receptionist was not able to attend the party at the manor, but the old man which is the owner of the Slave Trader Shop recognize who these people are and dare not offend them.

So he walks forward and greeted Shin Jiao personally.

"Master… I am… I am Mage Ferlin Young, the owner of this humble Slave Trader Shop… I heard you are looking for someone? A friend… maybe?" the old man said while taking an audible gulp.

Shin Jiao did not reply and just showed a slight smile on his face.

Taking the hint, Ferlin Young did not hesitate and quickly lead the group to the inner part of the shop.

"Come with me please…" he said.

The people around the shop were a bit dissatisfied but they dare not show or say it. Most of them have seen what had happened last night and those who did not have heard it from their peers, so no one dares voice out their complaints.

Soon, Shin Jiao and his group were lead to an area that looks like a dungeon with many prison rooms protected by metal bars could be seen.

"Master, you can check this place… All of our slaves are in here."

Shin Jiao did not bother with the old man and just walked directly to the last prison cell.

When the old man saw where he is heading, his heart skipped a beat. This is because that place is a place for those who are reserved to be taken to particular mage towers are kept.

If what this Master is looking for is in that place, then it would be more troublesome. There is a chance that he might offend the Mage Tower that has chosen any of those in that place.

But how could he go against this powerful mage who is able to kill even an Arch-mage? Ferlin Young felt that he became more aged as he is now caught between a rock and a hard place.
