Chapter 172: This is the Best Horse
Five days later, Seraph sat in the living room, with two people sitting opposite him and one near him.
There were four people in the room.
Flaren, the schoolmaster, sat in the middle row, a chair higher than the three.
Before Seraph, Sisuan sat, looking at Ken.
Ken sat far away from the three, acting like a suspect.
Seraph sat to Fraren's right.
His expression was calm. [He seemed like a big shot. He'd better hurry and finish. He's bored to death.]
Sisuan, seeing that everything was ready, began to speak. "Then, let's begin. Master Kisen has begun to invite the guides to talk."
Seraph placed his staff on the table, blue eyes appearing, gazing around.
The four stood up and greeted the silent forest leader.
"We're about to begin our meeting. Are you okay?"
Sisuan asked to confirm. Ask if there's anything else we can do to reschedule the meeting.
"No, let's get started."
"Thank you very much."
The four of them sat down.
Sixuan led the meeting. "So, first, what should we do with Ken, the brother of the girl who destroyed Firren Village?"
"You can do whatever you want, but I have one vote for his survival."
Staff B wants Ken to live.
Seraph looked at Ken. "As for me, no. Let's discuss this, but I'll keep my voice neutral." [Great, that's not my business. But why did you vote for the death penalty, Ken?]
If you agree that he should be killed, you might have a grudge against the tree. But if you agree that he should be spared, the Firrenin clan will take a grudge instead. So, a neutral voice is best. He'll probably leave soon, without telling these people anything to find him. Originally,
I've been wondering for a long time. Why did I have to attend the meeting?]
Sixuan nodded. He turned to look at the sect leader, Fraren. "I also thought we should kill this man. But from what I know, it seems like...
Kisen's work has saved people who should have died. It can be said that only the injured and the village were lost. The damage is enormous.
Therefore, we have agreed to spare Kisen's life. However, Kisen must compensate you by acting as your sister's representative in repairing our village."
Fraren sighed helplessly. "I wanted to say that, but never mind. You can spare my life. Repairing it will take a long time."
Sisuan nodded. "With a mutual agreement, we have agreed to spare this Ken."
Ken felt relieved.
"Next, the alliance treaty. We've already written it down in the document."
Sisuan handed the document to Staff B to read.
He then gave Seraph another copy to read. Seraph took it and began reading, taking a long time. [Hmm, hmm, hmm. He seemed afraid of this origin's identity, and he was also an equal to the Silent Forest. More benefits.]
The staff asked Seraph. "What do you think, Kisen?"
Seraph turned his gaze. [What the hell are you thinking?]
"That would be great. Being friends is better than being enemies. As I said before, we help each other, and they help us. It's mutual dependence.
"
"Okay, let's do this. Bring the manpower, the people, and the supplies to me, to the Silent Forest."
"That can be done." Sisuan nodded.
Both sides agreed. The blue eyes disappeared immediately after the meeting ended.
Seraph sat there calmly. [Well, the story ends. Next, it's a toss-up.]
"Sir Ken, are you interested in working as a representative for the Silent Forest?"
Ken heard and turned to look at the faces of the other two. They weren't surprised, having already known the story.
"I would like to take on this task. Can I do it, sir?"
Ken looked at Floren and Sisuan.
"Yes, you can. Then, the story is over. We can split up.
Seraph stood up and walked straight to Ken. Seraph took the staff and placed it in front of Ken.
"This is what you need to carry. Go back with the escort who will deliver the box to the Silent Forest."
Ken stood up and happily accepted the item. "I will do my best."
Seraph put down his things and finished his duties, then walked out of the conference room.
[It's time to leave. I secretly...I've bought a horse. I'll probably ride it all the way to Gollen Village.]
Seraph excused himself and left the room.
Seraph looked around. The room was decorated with beautiful decorations. When he left the Firenin School, he saw many people lying on the ground. Everyone was sleeping here because their houses were destroyed.
He had to camp out around the Firenin School.
Seraph watched people walk around, and some sat down, not knowing what to do. [Huh...? I forgot. Where do they sell horses? No, not in the first place. Where would I find them? Horses were all killed in battle. I mean, that's what I said.]
Seraph walked down a path. Time passed. It was nighttime.
Seraph arrived at the Firenin School's flying mount area.
Seraph arrived and saw many horses, all chained up.
All the horses were almost black, all lined up in rows.
Seraph stood looking proud. [Excellent! I borrowed a horse from the sect. So, you came here to choose a horse?]
Seraph walked in, looking left and right. Black horses filled both sides.
Seraph stopped in one spot. An old man was lying on a soft, young stalk.
The old man opened his eyes. "What are you doing here?"
Seraph bowed gracefully. "Sorry for coming so late. I came to borrow a horse to ride?"
The old man sat up, examining Seraph with a puzzled expression. "You little brat! Where are you going so late at night!?"
Seraph looked at the old man who had been cursing at himself. [Do you want to get into trouble, old man? Or is it normal to talk like that?]
"My name is Seraph. You've probably heard of him before. So, Master Xixuan said that if you come here, you can choose a horse."
The old man looked at Seraph's face. "I've never heard of a kid like you." "Bring a horse?"
Seraph was puzzled and confused. [Or is it a trap!?]
Seraph looked around cautiously.
At one location, Si Xuan was writing a report. There were a ton of documents. "Why are there so many reports of perpetrators? At this hour, you dare to do something like this? Oh my god!!"
Si Xuan looked at the pile of documents, furious at having to write the report. "Irritating. At this time, I probably won't get very far. That guy's headed straight for him, so this is easy."
Si Xuan thought. "It seems like I forgot to do something at the horse barn. What? I seem to have forgotten something important... Never mind. Never mind. I have a lot of work. If I make a mistake or two, it's the same thing."
Si Xuan sat there, uninterrupted, writing the documents.
Seraph at the stables. Seraph stood still, picking up the seal Si Xuan had given him. "So, with this seal, it means I can take a horse, right?" "
The seal I got came from a fight and Si Xuan gave it to me.
Si Xuan forgot to ask about his own seal of authority.
The old man looked shocked, almost fainting.
The old man quickly spoke up, "I have Si Xuan's seal. It seems right. This brat, what kind of horse do you want?"
Seraph began to wonder why the old man in front of the stable keeper dared to scold him after seeing the seal. [Is Si Xuan's power really that weak?]
Seraph bowed in thanks. "Then, I want a horse with the best abilities. It doesn't need food and can run all the time, if possible.
One that can fight, too. Plus, the speed to escape monsters. I want one that's smart too. And, hmm, whichever one is best, I'll take that one."
[Does an ideal horse exist? At least I've already stated its qualities. There must be one.]
The old man looked at Seraph, a little confused. "If there's one with the best abilities, there's definitely no horse food for it." It can keep up with the grass.
It can run all the time. If it's only for twelve hours, it might be able to run.
And speaking of fighting ability, it definitely has. Speed is good, but not great. If it's intelligent enough, are you sure you want this one?
Seraph nodded. "Of course, this one."
