Chapter 1146: Myrth: 116

(Unedited)

…

When the group enters the dead-end alleyway, a strange sound suddenly reverberated through the town. The loud sound of a gong echoed through the air which immediately gained the attention of all the citizens of the town.

This has startled everyone as they began to what the gong means.

In every village, town, and city of the kingdom of Jimal, there is a well-known signal which would always sound out which is kind of a reminder for everyone. Once this signal sounded out, it only means two things. One is the common practice which is once every six months, while the other one is the sound of an impending… war.

And right now, this is not the middle of the end of the year... so it only means that war is truly coming.

Everyone suddenly remembers the last war that happened a few years ago. At that time, it was a simple squabble where the army of the opposing kingdom of Gysko has sent an expedition force to try and claim one of the lands in the borders that belong to the kingdom of Jimal.

And from this war, many heroes arise and one of those heroes is Xin Ja's father, Xin Jong.

And now another war is happening… many people are cursing those ambitious and greedy rulers of the Glysko kingdom.

Meanwhile in that alleyway…

"Hey, guys… I think we have to go back home now. According to the rules of the town…" one of the guys in the group of Rou Xieshang said while looking at the people around him.

Everyone nodded and then looks at Rou Xieshang.

"We can still get them at school… Sister Xieshang…"

"Yeah, don't worry about it."

"We will take care of those guys for you at the academy…"

Everyone chimed in.

In fact, they did not want to be caught in the streets at this moment. The reason for this is because those who are caught dwindling and idling on the streets at this moment would be immediately conscripted to the military no questions asked.

So none of the youth wanted to be caught and drafted that early.

As the group runs away and left the alley, a strange ripple in the air appears and four people walk out.

"Tsk… if they continued we could have taught them a good lesson…" Tung Jo said while admiring the rune array formation behind him.

He has seen it in his eyes and was truly astounded. This is a trapping formation with the property of water. It would make those people feel like they are in the ocean unable to move freely as water traps them and their movement.

"Little Ja, you are really something…" Qing Joming said as he patted Xin Ja's shoulder.

Feeling that Qing Joming is trying to admire him Xin Ja smile and said.

"It's nothing much… Hehe…"

Suddenly Qing Joming hit the back of Xin Ja's head.

"What kind of friend are you? You would even leave us in there and run ahead by yourself!" Qing Joming reprimanded.

The group was dumbfounded at his retort with a hint of anger in Qing Joming's eyes.

"Hey… It was as if I don't know you… I know that I could trust you and I also know that you can already read me… So I am confident that you guys will follow me through you…" Xin Ja said while rubbing the back of his head.

"Humph… Glad that you know how clever I am. With one look, I could already know what you are planning… It was too easy to read… Hahaha…" Qing Joming said while he lifts his head and begin to put on airs.

"Let's go, guys!" Xin Ja said as the three followed him.

Upon hearing that, Qing Joming quickly stopped and followed the three. The four of them quickly went home as they too did not want to be drafted that early in the army.

After sending Rou Chenchen home, Xin Ja and the two separated and also went home.

Xin Ja at this time walks through the main road where he could see many people running as fast as they could turning the street empty.

As he turns to a corner, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure. When he looks closely he could immediately tell that the staggering figure is none other than Senior Yao Mai Lin.

Upon seeing her, Xin Ja feels that something is wrong with her. Without a second thought, Xin Ja quickly rushes towards her as she turns to an alley.

When Xin Ja followed, he immediately saw Yao Mai Lin falling to the ground. She seems to have fainted.

Xin Ja did not hesitate to approach her and quickly checked her condition.

At that instant, his expression turned grave. Senior Yao Mai Lin fainted because of some potent drug. This drug can cause one's Ki energy to dissipate and make their body weak. It is a kind of drug that Xin Ja has not seen before. But from the effect, he could already tell what is doing in her body.

Without hesitation, Xin Ja quickly lifted her up and then make her lean on the wall. He did not have time to think and quickly apply a few needles on her body to make her wake up. He still needed to detoxify the poison from her body, so he needed her awake to be able to take it and use her Ki to control the toxin in her system.

It did not take long before the eyes of Yao Mai Lin flutters and she slowly woke up.

The first thing that came to her mind is panic. She knew what had happened and she just hope to escape that place.

It was a trap… and she was too naïve to trust those people she called her teammates.

She wanted to cry, but when she saw the face in front of her, she was suddenly filled with calmness and delight. Because that young and handsome face belongs to none other than Xin Ja.

Ever since knowing the guy, she knew of his good nature and trusted him. He even saved her from the War Games, so how could she not feel relieved.

"Senior Yao… Are you okay?" Xin Ja asked while checking her condition.

"I'm… I'm fine… But… but my body is… is still weak…" Yao Mai Lin said with a staggering tone.

"It's okay… I forcefully woke you up. You have to take this pill… It will give you some Ki in your body and would be able to use your pure Ki to suppress the toxins…" Xin Ja explained as he produced a green pill.

Yao Mai Lin did not hesitate and quickly take the pill in her mouth. She suddenly feels a warm sensation enveloping her body.

"Use that Ki to push the toxin out…" Xin Ja said as he takes out another set of needles.

It did not take long before Yao Mai Lin spew dark blood on the ground. She chooses to extract the poison through acid reflux.

After that, she suddenly feels fine and then gave Xin Ja a thankful look on her face.

"Xin Ja… We… We have to leave now… I don't know if those guys would be looking for me… If they do then we would be in trouble… I don't want to implicate you with this problem." She said with a helpless look on her pale face.

Xin Ja knew what she is talking about, so he nodded his head and helped her to stand up.

The two then walk out of the alleyway and into the main street.

…

The town's patrols are already roaming the town after the gong was sounded for around 20 minutes. They are making sure that everyone is indoors to prevent any widespread information.

When they heard that the Glysko Kingdom have mobilized a large troop to the borders at the edge of Ogden Town, the town's council immediately convene a meeting. The kingdom of Jimal is going to send aid but the town of Ogden and the other nearby villages and towns would have to fend for themselves before the Kingdom's army arrives.

They have done this once before. It was that war a few years ago when the border villages and towns gathered together to push away the army of the Glysko kingdom.

And now it is happening again.

At this time, the roving town's guards are making that everyone is at home before the meeting ended. This way, if there are spies in the town, they could easily catch and interrogate them. Also, this is one way the town could get some unwilling volunteers.

As the guards walk through the streets, they suddenly noticed something.

Then it did not take long before they saw a pair of a young boy and a young woman walking out of the alley. They could see that the young woman seem to be weak and feeble and traces of blood could be seen on her gown.

They immediately determined that the two belongs to Ogden academy from their uniforms.

From the conversation, they could tell that something happened to the young woman and this youth helped her.

But then… the law is the law. No matter what the situation is, they have to follow it.

And so the guards stopped the two.

When Yao Mai Lin saw this, her expression turned paler that she almost passed out in the arms of Xin Ja.
