Feeling grateful, Johnny said, “Don't worry, Northern Master. I won't let you down. I'll help you collect Spirit Stones
on time and in full.”
“Okay,” Northern King answered. “You can start collecting today. Go on. You ought to get used to the process.”
“Understood.”
Johnny bade Northern King farewell and headed toward the base of Northern Faction Centuria. They better have
enough Spirit Stones ready. Otherwise, I'm going to teach them a lesson. Since I'm new, I must show them what I'm
made of.
Soon, Johnny arrived in Golden Cicada's territory.
To his surprise, Golden Cicada's territory looked deserted. In fact, there wasn't even a single soul present.
Johnny frowned and grumbled, “What the f*ck? Where's everybody? Could it be that they've changed the location
of their base, or could it be that they've all gone out to collect Spirit Stones? It's impossible for them to change the
location of their base. They would need to inform Legatus beforehand. However, I don't think Centuria had visited
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLegatus recently. It doesn't seem like they're out collecting Spirit Stones either. They can't possibly have all their
members collecting Spirit Stones and left no one behind to guard their base.”
Johnny could sense something was amiss, so he entered the base of Northern Faction Centuria warily.
The more he walked, the weirder things got. Not only does the base look deserted, but it also looks like it has been
robbed! Sh*t! Did Southern Faction rob Northern Faction? However, I think Southern Faction Centuria is weaker than
Northern Faction Centuria. Hence, that can't be it. What the hell is Golden Cicada doing? What on earth happened
here?
Right then, Golden Cicada's training room came to Johnny's mind. Golden Cicada usually spends this time of the
year in the training room. I wonder if he's there now.
At that moment, Johnny had no idea where anybody was, so he thought the training room was the only place he
could go.
However, he had a mental breakdown when he arrived in the training room.
Golden Cicada's training room was no longer there, but at the spot where it used to be, Johnny found a whole pile of
severed heads on the ground.
The sight of countless severed heads belonging to Northern Faction Centuria sent a chill down Johnny's spine, and
he was having goosebumps all over his body.
“Who did this? Who the f*ck did this? S-Southern Faction... H-How dare you!” Johnny's voice trembled. “Do they
want to go to war with Northern Faction? Fine! Southern Faction, since you want to die so badly, Northern Faction
will grant your wishes!”
Unsurprisingly, Johnny blamed everything on Southern Faction.
He was having mixed feelings, and an indescribable sense of sorrow overwhelmed him. This is only my first time
collecting for Northern King. Who would've thought that this would happen?
Meanwhile, Southern King, the commander of Southern Faction Legion, had also sent an emissary to collect Spirit
Stones from Southern Faction Centuria.
The emissary he sent was known as Speedy. He was good with his feet, and he was one of the fastest runners
around.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn fact, he could run almost as fast as Southern King himself.
Southern King sent Speedy out to collect Spirit Stones because he could complete the task faster.
Speedy was in a good mood when he was on his journey. While walking gracefully, he was even humming a tune to
himself.
Speedy was very happy with his job because he only needed to work four days a year, and it was a job with
freedom.
Besides, he could even keep some Spirit Stones for himself as he collected.
Essentially, nine out of ten people were envious of the job he had.
Before long, Speedy arrived at the base of Southern Faction Centuria.
When the guards saw Speedy, they quickly welcomed him and said, “Hi, Speedy! You must be exhausted. Here!
Have a seat.”
With that, the guards invited Speedy to rest in a gazebo nearby that was meant for themselves.
Although the guards and Speedy were only servers, Speedy was serving Legatus. Hence, the guards had to show
Speedy respect.
