The Geared Immortal

Chapter 850 - Another Troublesome Matter



Chapter 850

(Unedited)

It was already late at night when Shin Jiao and Loombwark Diggingsons arrive on the outskirts of the town. Upon arriving Shin Jiao carefully puts her down on the ground and the two walk towards the large ship.

When she saw the ship she was thoroughly dumbfounded. She did not expect to see such a sight. She has not seen something like this before and the people working round about the ship made her think that they seem to even treat night as if it is still daytime.

She could see the surrounding perimeter of the ship lit brightly by a strange thing that she has never seen in her life. And outside of that brightly lit area are many people standing while talking and some are even selling their wares.

She could tell that many of those are nobles who wanted to see the flying ship as a form of entertainment.

Then suddenly she heard audible sounds coming from the ship. Some of the people within its boundary would appreciate the sound while drinking their favorite ale, while others would look at the ship and marvel at its grandeur.

The flying ship right now looks like a park where people would gather, talk, and even do negotiations in the open.

Around it, there are many mobile stores that are selling food, beverages, and other things.

It was really lively and Shin Jiao has already gotten used to it since last week.

As the two arrive near the flying ship\'s perimeter entrance gate, they saw a large number of soldiers blocking the way.

"We have received a command from the Main Arjing city to see your master. If you do not permit us to enter, we will force our way inside!" a tall female soldier shouted with a commanding tone.

When the mage guard heard her words, his expression immediately changed. The truth of the matter is, even if they wanted to enter, they could not. The barrier around the flying ship is disguised by tall wooden fences encircling it.

"General Simo… we told you that the Master is in seclusion, he cannot be disturbed." Nariz Gumal took a step forward and glared at the woman who is as tall are herself.

The female general is wearing silver armor and her helmet covering half of her face and only her mouth is exposed. But judging from her small and pink lips one could tell that this female general is a beauty.

But her fiery temperament and strong character are making her look like a villain.

This commotion has already attracted a number of people who are already crowding by the entrance. However, many did not mind this commotion; the reason for this is because some of them knew that it is impossible to enter this ship.

Shin Jiao and Loombwark Diggingsons approach the gate and try to listen to their conversation.

"Ha! We have received a report that your group dares to kill many of our soldiers! We need an explanation from your master about this. Don\'t think that you can just waltz everywhere and kill the soldiers of the kingdom without any consequences? I will make sure that every blood that was spilled in that battle is well accounted for!" she shouted with an air of arrogance and justice.

When the mage guards heard this, their expressions turned serious. They were there… they were not the ones who attacked first. In fact, they are just defending themselves. Who would have thought those soldiers would have the audacity to threaten them?

"General, I admire your devotion and loyalty to your soldiers. But you should get the facts straight in here!" this time Nariz Gumal shouted in anger.

"Your people attacked us first! We did not want to retaliate but we can\'t just sit and die can\'t we?" she added with a sneer.

"Ha! Do you think I would believe the words of a woman like yourself? Many of our soldiers who survive that battle told us of your horrible actions. Your cowardice and despicable ways in battle... you should fight fairly and with honor!" the female general shouted with her righteous air.

Everyone around the flying ship began to murmur as if they have believed what the female general has said. But still, they were a bit skeptical, who in the kingdom does not know how soldiers would act in public?

But they dare not blurt this out and just kept silent about it.

Shin Jiao who is standing on the side could not help but get angry at this provocation. This woman is trying to slander them… this is not a good sign. If their name is besmirched by her words, their future plans would be affected. So he decided to act and stop this woman.

In this kingdom, since he arrives here, the only way that you can be heard is by showing your strength. Words can only raise you to fame or defame you, but no one would truly listen to you.

This is because only the strong and powerful will be respected and be followed by the masses. And he already knew this by heart.

And so, he suddenly steps forward amongst the crowd.

When his figure appears, the mage guards and the others inside the barrier showed surprise in their faces as they all heave a sigh of relief.

Shin Jiao did not do anything and just look at the female General and the 30 plus soldiers behind her.

With a thought, every one of them suddenly began floating in the air as if being lifted by an invisible hand by their collars.

"What… what is this? What are you doing? Are you going against the kingdom laws!" the female general shouted.

Suddenly a man\'s voice from behind them was heard by everyone.

"Your mouth is as sharp as your blade… If you do not shut up, I will separate your tongue from your mouth. That way you will learn to speak prudently…" Shin Jiao said as he walks to the gate.

The mage guards immediately greeted him in unison.

"Greetings master!"

When the people in the area heard this, they all look at the mature-looking man in his late 30\'s. Shin Jiao is wearing his usual black overcoat which gives him an air of authority.

"You…" the female general wanted to shout curses at this guy but she stops herself.

From the way, they are floating and their helpless condition, she knew that this guy is not just some simple mage. He is someone with a strange and strong power.

However, deep in her heart, she is trying to weigh her options. She was already warned about this and knew that the master of this ship is not that simple. However, her family background is also not that simple.

She belongs to the prestigious Simo family from the capital. She is one of the most talented daughters of the Simo family and the current fiancée of the newly called crown prince. Plus she is also the general of an elite unit of warriors and mages. With her status and authority, she is not afraid of anyone even if that person is an Archmage.

And so with this in mind after weighing her options, she decided to threaten this foolish man who dares offend her.

"Let me and my soldiers down now. If not, you will suffer the wrath of the kingdom." She said in a threatening voice.

Upon hearing her words, the expressions of everyone in the surroundings changed. How could they know that this woman would still threaten the master of the flying ship? Did she not know that her life is in his hands?

Shin Jiao frowned upon hearing this. He did not expect that the woman would still resist. He just shook his head and decided to punish her. Making her unable to talk for the rest of her life would be a good punishment for her sharp tongue.

Shin Jiao was about to make a move when suddenly a person came running towards them. The person is trying to catch his breath as had run really fast just to stop this thing from escalating. When he saw the floating soldiers, that person knew that if he did not hurry, it would already be too late.

"Master… Master Shin… Please wait… Please don\'t hurt the general. She is not well informed. The town\'s head wanted to talk to you about this…" The man said as he sat on the ground after delivering his message.

After catching his breath he slowly stood up and looks at the female general.

"General Simo, the information that was given to you was not totally correct. The town head would like to explain the situation, would you please come with me."

Shin Jiao did not have any opinion about this and nodded his head. He then lowered the soldiers on the ground.

However, who would have known that as soon as the soldier landed on the ground, one of them would suddenly send out a bunch of ice spikes towards Shin Jiao\'s direction? Meanwhile, the rest of them suddenly unsheathe their weapons and charge towards him with glaring eyes.
