Eps. 255 — Mayor's Invitation
The night was long in Anshan City, the Imperial troops did not rest immediately after the war ended but buried the mass of all the bodies of the war.
Of course, if they could choose, they would leave the bodies of the organization's troops just like that on the ground, but that would be impossible because it would cause a disease outbreak.
It took at least two days to bury the victims, the residents also helped because the burial was too much and took a long time.
Beside that cleansing, Jian Chen still remained in his room post-war, he tried to recover his inner strength.
Despite remaining silent in his room Jian Chen remained aware of the outside events of the association's report.
The news is mostly questioning warriors who have golden eyes that can reverse the conditions of war.
Many citizens or warriors had witnessed the strength of the young man but they did not know his identity so called golden swordsmen.
"Hm, golden swordsman, yeah..." Jian Chen chuckled softly after hearing the report from the Yuan steward.
In the first life, although not too famous Jian Chen also had the nickname by other warriors as the Golden Eye Swordsman.
Unexpectedly, Jian Chen would be given the same nickname in this second life.
Manager Yuan could only smile awkwardly, he himself thought more about the identity of Jian Chen, the same as them, Manager Yuan did not expect the Miou clan to have a warrior who had terrible strength in it.
Manager Yuan thought Jian Chen was a secret swordsman of the Miou clan Association so he himself did not know about it.
"Young Master, there's also a letter from the Golden Stick Swordsman inviting you to the town residence later tonight..." Manager Yuan gave his letter. "She said there was something important to discuss."
Jian Chen nodded, he slightly read Lun Zhi's letter for a moment and instantly understood its contents. In the aftermath of the war, Lun Zhi asked him to go there.
Manager Yuan then left after his affairs had been completed, now in his room only Jian Chen was alone.
Jian Chen took out dozens of space rings that he had taken at the time of the war including the space rings belonging to the Tiger Shio and Rabbit Shio.
The first Jian Chen took out the contents were those two Shio rings, as he expected their rings to be filled by precious objects.
There were several high-tier resource pills, several healing plants, thousands of gold pieces as well as weapons and heirlooms inside.
In addition to searching for valuable items Jian Chen also tried to find information in particular about the Shio Hunter Organization.
There were several letters that came out in it, Jian Chen read the letter but almost a part of it was not important until he finally found one clue about the Shio Hunter Organization.
The clue was only a single sentence that came from the Dragon Shio, the leader of the 12 Hunter Shio.
'So their leader is a Dragon-tattooed Shio, I just found out...' Jian Chen muttered after reading his letter.
From this Jian Chen realized that the Shi'a were always sent letters and orders in every mission.
There are various missions sent by the Dragon Shio to the Rabbit and Tiger Shio including taking the sky book in the city of Anshan.
Some common missions were to find allies so that other organizations would cooperate with the 12 Shios. Jian Chen read further to dig into the information further to bring him to a single conclusion.
Jian Chen wanted to search further about them especially his headquarters but there was no more information there. Jian Chen chose to continue taking out the other items again.
"Ah, this actually exists..." Jian Chen said enthusiastically as a ball of handfuls of hands rolled on the floor.
The little ball was glowing tanned, Jian Chen naturally knew him as an element pearl.
Jian Chen increasingly wished there were other element pearls but it seemed like the two Shios only had one. After that there is no other valuable item after the pearl.
After checking all the rings of his booty room Jian Chen came out of his room and intended to go to the mayor's residence.
It didn't take long for him to get there by flying, a few servants greeted Jian Chen and the Mayor and Lun Zhi were also there welcoming him.
Everyone already knew of Jian Chen's great strength including the Mayor, hearing the story that Jian Chen was stronger than Lun Zhi as well as being able to repel the enemy troops, it was hard for the Mayor not to submit when dealing with Jian Chen.
The mayor as well as Lun Zhi brought Jian Chen to a special room, the three of them wanted to discuss something very important.
The first to speak was Lun Zhi, the golden scepter said his intention and intent was to hand over the celestial book to Jian Chen.
Jian Chen frowned, not expecting Lun Zhi to convey such a point.
"Are you sure you want to give me this precious book?" Jian held the silver-colored book and confirmed the decision Lun Zhi had taken.
"Broker Jian, me and the mayor have talked about this over and over again, I'm sure only you are suitable to receive this celestial book."
Lun Zhi said that if he held it, there was a possibility that the book could fall to someone else while Jian Chen did not.
Jian Chen's strength was too high, not only had he saved the city but he had also killed two Shio.
According to Lun Zhi there was nothing more suitable to give this book except in Jian Chen's hands, at least Jian Chen could keep it safe.
After all, the existence of the book has been known by many people, having it as a curse that can endanger lives.
After hearing that explanation Jian Chen finally picked up his celestial book, to be honest he was also interested in that book only he did not show any interest.
After about the book then the Mayor spoke up, the crux of his conversation he would give a gift to Jian Chen for having helped in saving his city.
"We're supposed to help so there's no need for rewards or anything else, I'm just doing what needs to be done..." Jian Chen rejected the Mayor's offer.
Jian Chen said rather than the money given to him it was better to be given to his citizens in need let alone those who suffered losses due to this attack.
The mayor did not dispute if it was Jian Chen's will, indeed regardless the city was safe now, the activities of the citizens were still said to have not recovered.
There are some refugees who are accommodated by the Mayor because of their homes that have been burned. While residents are still evacuated, their homes need time to be renovated.
Jian Chen afterwards said goodbye after his affairs had been completed, he flew while occasionally reading the sky book he could not wait to read.
