The Geared Immortal

Chapter 837

(Unedited)

…

With the rescue of the Viscount daughter, the battle between the army and the traveling merchant, Mystique Shop stopped. The army suffered many casualties but the merchant group did not lose anyone on their side.

It was a one-sided slaughter on the side of the soldiers from the Main Arjing City which has caused a hidden enmity between them and the traveling merchant group.

However, they could do anything about it because the Old General of the army did not want to escalate things further.

Meanwhile, inside the captain's deck of the ship, a few people are in a meeting. Shin Jiao along with Olivia Anis Merl and the rest of the people from the immortal land is in front of a large table where a large digital 3D map is currently floating.

The eyes of Olivia are glowing upon seeing the map. This is the first time she has ever seen such a thing and it is very unusual and fresh for her.

She has seen a lot of new things on the ship and it thoroughly gained her attention.

"Our next destination is the Central Town…" Shin Jiao said as he pointed to the location on the map.

"It is around 500 kilometers away from this village. Around 3 days journey via horse, and around a week on foot." Shin Jiao added.

"Well, how long will it take for us to then?" asked Olivia who is standing beside Shin Jiao while looking at the glowing map curiously.

"Hmm… Around 4 to 5 hours… it depends on the terrain and the speed we fly…"

Upon hearing his words Olivia gasped in disbelief. Although she knew that this is possible with flight but that is only in her mind. Now that she learned how fast it could really travel, she was really astounded.

The rest of the people in the room showed calm expression, especially those that came in the Immortal Land.

Because flying artifacts have already circulated in the Immortal Land and everyone can travel there really fast, so this kind of speed is a bit slow for them actually.

After some questions and instructions, the meeting ended.

As they walk out of the captain's deck, a mage guard suddenly ran towards them.

"Master Shin… We have a visitor." The guard said.

Shin Jiao just nodded his head and jumps down the ship. When he landed on the ground, he could already see a large group of people outside the ship's barrier.

"General Lao, it is my pleasure for you to visit me. How can I help you?" Shin Jiao said as he walks out of the barrier.

Shin Jiao's identity was divulged after the troublesome matter was handled by Olivia. He was her rescuer along with Yemei Yin.

The army has already discovered the bandits inside the vault but as of now, they are unable to open the large metal door where the bandits are said to have hidden.

In truth, Shin Jiao has put a seal on that door and it will only open after 3 days. They can breathe inside there but they have no food, nor water. Shin Jiao decided to punish them according to their own cruelty towards others.

Within three days they would suffer as the people outside suffer both mentally and physically. He did not know what others would do inside that large vault and he did not care. As long as he has done what he wanted to and has already helped those people the bandits have captured.

As the old general saw Shin Jiao's relaxed expression, he could not help but doubt the power of the man.

"Master Shin, I am here to negotiate about what happened between your forces and the army…" the old general said.

Meanwhile, beside him, Xentong Han is glaring at Shin Jiao. Right now, all he wanted to do is to tears this bastard apart. He is the reason why his plans were ruined. And right now, he wanted to tears up all pretenses and duke it out with this guy.

His younger sister has now a very low opinion of him, and this he could not accept. His only mistake is when he lost all reasoning when he captured his sister and imprisoned her. Then that night to vent his anger, he visited her in prison and began to take his liberties with her.

But he stopped when he heard his sister suddenly crying. It was as if a bucket of ice was poured on him as he realized that he has lost all reason. He tried to ask for her forgiveness but it seems that she does not want to see him again.

And because of his selfishness, he points the blame towards this man in front of him. This man is the culprit who caused all of his problems and misery. He must find a way to pay him back for all of the things he is suffering from right now.

Sensing the slight killing intent and animosity in the eyes of Xentong Han, Shin Jiao did not bother with the guy. He is just a small fry; he can squash this bug anytime if he gets annoyed further.

"So what does the general suggests?" Shin Jiao asked nonchalantly.

"Master Shin, I know that you are a very powerful man. But there are many lives that have been lost in this time's senseless battle." The old general said with a frown.

"Haha… Don't look at me like it was my fault. You guys attacked us first… or rather; you should direct your enmity to those who instigate this battle." Shin Jiao smirked.

The old general frowns upon hearing this. He could not deny this fact, but he is also inclined to point finger at others as it is also a part of his decision to attack the flying ship. But he just wanted to have a negotiation with this person with the hope that those soldiers who have died could be compensated.

In his mind, the soldiers are more important than these merchants. Since they have the money they should pay the soldiers for what had happened.

"I sympathize with the soldiers Great General. And since I am one too… a long time ago, I will help you. But… I should make one thing clear. If you can give me the person who instigates this matter, then we have a deal. If not, then forget that this meeting has even occurred."

When Xentong Han heard this, he suddenly feels that everything is not going his way.

He was the one who instigated this fight, but only the old general knew about this. So he knew that with this incident, his reputation would be ruined in front of the old general. But who cares about that? At this moment, what he wanted to do is to get away from this place as far as possible. It seems that his plans would not work anymore.

He has to accept his defeat and retreat, for now, to fight and scheme another day.

General Faosei Lao still values soldiers the most, so how could he turn against General Xentong Han? So without any choice, he decided to leave and go back to Main Arjing City. Their mission is already finished and they have already known the condition of the daughter of the Viscount.

They will just execute the bandits and report everything that has happened to the Viscount and the city lord.

…

The next day, Yein Han has already been set free and she is currently in a meeting with Shin Jiao in her office.

"Village Head Han seems to have it rough. I'm sorry for the trouble… As an apology, please accept this."

Shin Jiao took out a small pill bottle with around 5 white spherical pills in it. Yein Han showed a faint curiosity while looking at the bottle on the table.

"What is this?" she asked with her eyes squinted.

"I actually knew that you are an Archmage, but seem to be wounded heavily. So the pills in the bottle would slowly heal your body and meridians. That way your true strength would return." Shin Jiao said with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Yein Han showed a slight surprise on her beautiful face. She has searched, asked, and approached many people with high attainment in medicine for many years on a cure for her condition. But none of them were able to help her.

Now she suddenly discovered that someone can actually whip out some medicine to cure her condition? Who would believe in that? But of course, she dare not say that she did not believe in his words.

This is because; the man in front of her is someone who does not conform to the norms. He is a mysterious figure who can create things that do not follow common sense in this world.

From the magic light bulb, magic battery, canned meat, and the flying ship, those things contain deep knowledge to make and even the scholars in the village are stumped and could not break the knowledge contained on those simple looking products.

"Village head, thank you for accommodating us. Though it was just a short time, I appreciate the friendship." Shin Jiao said as he walks out.

Yein Han nodded her head and did not say a word.. One could tell that there are many things in her mind and she is in deep thinking.
