Chapter 79: Aiden’s Gift, Lucien and Randy’s Emotion
Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Aiden’s Gift, Lucien and Randy’s Emotion
Aiden took a deep breath. He wanted to reach out with his hand, but it stopped halfway in the air.
“Yes, I believe in you. You will make it.”
Aiden walked over to the old man and whispered in his ear.”There should be some medicine in the hospital that can help regrow a missing arm. I can…”
He didn’t finish his sentence. The old man, with white hair, shook his head firmly and said.
“Thank you, General. Our neighbors have raised a lot of money for me. It’s enough for the treatment.”
“Your money should be spent on yourself. That way, you can get stronger and kill more demons in the future.”
“Everyone is talking about the bet you made in the Sovereign City. That 10 billion, we don’t want it at all.”
Aiden didn’t know what to say. There were many victims in The White City. For the people who survived, sharing the 10 billion would be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
This was something Aiden could do. He hadn’t expected that the people of The White City not only believed in him, but also started talking about refusing this wealth.
A strange feeling appeared in Aiden’s heart.
He looked at the eyes around him—full of respect, gratitude, and care. He took a deep breath and said firmly.
“I said it already, I can’t change my words. You don’t want people to say I’m not trustworthy, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people of The White City immediately widened their eyes and said angrily.”Who dares?”
“The people from the Sovereign City will soon find out that the general is nothing like what they said online!”
“Right! Anyone who slanders or insults you is making enemies with all of us in The White City!”
The crowd was very excited.
If someone from the Sovereign City said bad things about Aiden and came to The White City, they would definitely get beaten up.
Luke, high in the sky, watched everything quietly. He reached out and gently touched the head of the Giant Dark Raven, and said in a low voice.
“I was right. This guy is not only like me, but also more suitable as a leader and a Spirit symbol than I imagined.”
“The empire still puts too much value on those geniuses. They don’t know that, against the Abyss, humans need a leader who can win the trust of everyone, make them stop fighting each other, and unite against a common enemy.”
“It won’t take long before Aiden makes those people see the truth.”
Luke’s eyes were full of determination. No matter what others said about him, or how afraid they were of him, it couldn’t change his dream.
Humans should not fight each other anymore. The Abyss was the real enemy.
…
In the house of Mayor Randy in The White City.
Aiden sat in the main seat, with Randy and Lucien sitting on his left and right.
“You’re back. Now we can finally start our journey.” Randy said with a smile.
After the Abyss Demon invasion, he thought a lot and decided to take a job in an imperial border city.
It wasn’t just for a better future, but also for the people of The White City who had died.
As a mayor, watching so many people die right in front of him, that feeling of helplessness was something he never wanted to go through again.
Lucien was similar. He was originally from The White City and had deep feelings for it.
“This parting, I don’t know how long it will be before we meet again, General. You won’t forget about me and Lucien, will you?” Randy said with a smile on his face.
Aiden shook his head. He hadn’t had a strong impression of Randy before, because not long ago, Randy was just a new Reclasser who had just awakened his Iron Rank Magic Apprentice ability.
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget. Maybe I will go to the military department for some training one day.” Aiden said.
Lucien nodded and sighed.”The border areas of the empire have been very unstable lately. There have been several small-scale demon invasions near places with Abyss cracks.”
“I don’t know why, but this kind of invasion has happened a lot more often than before. It’s been years since we saw this.”
Randy nodded and started telling Aiden a lot about the situation in the imperial border areas.
Many people in the military believed that the war with the Abyss Demons was about to start. But the empire’s ministers still refused to increase military spending or send large armies to the border.
Aiden remembered the first time he met the imperial ministers. He had to say, those guys looked very cowardly.
Especially the first minister of the Sovereign City, Felix, was especially annoying to Aiden.
But the news that the Abyss Demons were about to attack wasn’t good for Aiden at all.
After all, he needed time to grow quickly and become a truly strong Reclasser.
The Soul-Curse Priest he met today had left a lot of pressure in Aiden’s heart.
This wasn’t a fair game. He could meet enemies far stronger than him at any time.
Shadow Stealth could help him avoid enemies or run away quickly, but Aiden also needed some items that could remove negative effects or control enemies.
The Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg also needs time to grow. There are many things to do, and everything has to be done slowly.
He took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and pulled out an Epic Demon’s Heart. He handed it to Lucien and said.
“This was something I promised you before. It can be a gift for saying goodbye.”
“For the next few days, I won’t leave the hotel. You should focus on preparing for the College Testing.”
Lucien suddenly took a deep breath. His hands trembled as he reached out, but then pulled them back. He looked hesitant and said.
“General, that time, Edward’s mother was supposed to be someone I killed.”
“It was your task. I hesitated, which led to many people in the Sovereign City insulting and spreading bad things about you online.”
“This Epic Demon’s Heart… I don’t deserve it.”
After saying that, Lucien felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. He had been thinking about this for a long time, but had never had the chance to tell Aiden.
Aiden looked at Lucien with some surprise, then smiled.
“Take it. You’re going to be the head of the Reclasser Association in the border city. You need some strength. Otherwise, if something dangerous happens, it would be a problem.”
“Besides, I have a lot of Demon’s Hearts like this.”
Lucien didn’t hesitate anymore. The border city was dangerous, and only by strengthening himself could he be ready to kill those demons.
He bit his lip and took the Epic Demon’s Heart from Aiden’s hand. Then he said.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you down again!”
Mayor Randy watched Lucien with a look of envy. He wasn’t in The White City when Aiden showed his different side.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have missed such a great chance!
As Randy was full of envy, Aiden also pulled out an Epic Demon’s Heart and threw it to him.
Randy instinctively caught the Demon’s Heart, and his face was full of shock.
“You’re not getting this. It’s for the hope of revenge for The White City.” Aiden said calmly.
Randy tightly held the Epic Demon’s Heart in his hand and nodded strongly. He said.
“Yes! The hope for revenge. I won’t let you down!”
“Unless I’m dead, I won’t leave the border city!”
Aiden stood up, walked to the door, waved at Randy and Lucien, and left one last message.
“Revenge isn’t everything, but it is the source that keeps many people alive. I believe in you.”
After that, he left the place directly.
Randy and Lucien were left alone. They looked at each other, then silently looked down at the Demon’s Heart in their hands.
Lucien spoke up.”A true warrior would die for someone who truly understands him. The general’s kindness is something I can never repay.”
“Right. He just gave us an Epic Demon’s Heart. Just because he believes we won’t let him down?” Randy muttered to himself.
At that moment, both of their hearts became extremely determined.
Aiden was a person from The White City. Naturally, they couldn’t let the name of The White City be ruined in any way!
Even if it meant dying, they would die on the path of revenge against the Demons!
…
In the biggest hotel in The White City.
Aiden forced the hotel owner to take the money for the room.
He found out that sometimes, being treated too warmly by too many people wasn’t a good thing.
The pretty female staff at the front desk had just been making very obvious hints that he could ask for anything he wanted at night.
Aiden shook his head. She was just an ordinary pretty girl. Compared to the Miko sisters, she seemed very ordinary.
He entered the hotel room, pulled the curtains, and locked the doors and windows.
Then, Aiden took out the dragon egg.
A quick look.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg
Tier: Mythic
Status: Strong
Hatching Progress: 5%]
It had been almost a full day, and the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Egg had fully absorbed the energy it had eaten before.
The hatching progress was now at 5%.
That was a good sign. Aiden thought maybe he could hatch the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon before the College Testing started.
Then, when he became the top scorer in the national College Testing, he could let the dragon show up.
Aiden continued to feed the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was the day before the College Testing.
Aiden hadn’t left the hotel for these few days, because the dragon’s hatching progress had been steadily increasing.
But Aiden also asked Luke to help look around The White City for any level 50 bosses.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg
Tier: Mythic
Status: Strong (digesting)
Hatching Progress: 90%]
“It’s almost ready. Even if it doesn’t hatch tomorrow, it should be done before the final test.”
Aiden sighed in relief. This little creature had taken a lot of his materials.
Besides the Epic Demon’s Heart and the Soul Essence of a Slaughter Witch, almost all of Aiden’s other materials were used up.
But good news—this Mythic Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg was about to fully hatch!
At that moment, Aiden’s phone vibrated. He looked at it and saw a message from Luke.
“Found it.”
