Chapter 1427: Chapter 1428: Compassionate Charlatan God
Wizard Continent, steeped in history.
In that ancient, untraceable wilderness era, it was ruled by countless monster tribes, teeming with life and diverse in species, of which the Barbarian Giant Tribe was just one.
As history changed, the Barbarian Giant Tribe called all invincible powerful beings "Gods." In their language, it was both a worship of power and an ambition to gain the same might. The rise of the ancestor of humans depended on continuously slaying the Supreme Sorcerer of the World for greater power. The Barbarian Giant Tribe slaughtered all the "Gods" on the Wizard Continent, leaving no creature worthy of the title.
And so, the Barbarian Giant Tribe ruled the Wizard Continent, becoming its overlord.
Afterwards, a dim historical period ensued. Deprived of enemies, the Barbarian Giant Tribe began to degenerate, fighting amongst themselves for power, becoming increasingly weak and decayed. All of this broke the heart of the ancestor of humans.
The history of Wizards accompanied the birth of humans. This was the ancestor of humans sealing the instincts of the Barbarian Giants, creating a new race whose major trait was endless desire and ambition!
Later, the Wizard World experienced histories of wizards contending with the Sea Tribe, the first civilization war with the Alien Nightmare, the second civilization war with the Nameless Ancient Demon. The ancient world is now about to experience a third war spreading to its homeland - the war between Wizards and the Metal Destroyer!
Green was in no hurry to travel, but wandered leisurely towards the East Coral Island Zelato Seaport.
Green hadn’t forgotten his other True Spirit Dedication wish, inspired by Maggie’s gift in the Great Spectral World from the Dimensional Esophagus, recalling his childhood winters in Bi Seer City, when every season was unbearably hard, and groups of lonely little beggars huddled together for warmth.
In contrast, using Taiyi Magnetite for his True Spirit Dedication merely afforded Green limitless power as the World Guardian within the Wizard World. Once leaving, his strength would plummet sharply, marking a unique rule for his True Spirit Dedication.
However, Green was not satisfied and attempted a second dedication to compensate for the lack of rule amplification outside the Wizard World.
Whether this holiday could be accepted, let alone promoted over time, remained uncertain, and with the Wizard World evolving, would the holiday endure?
Green harbored little hope for this True Spirit Dedication.
Five Rings Tower Academy of the Dimming Flower, where the once Dimming Flower Stigmata Sorcerer had fallen in the civilizational war, the academy had now fully declined. So many Stigmata Sorcerers died in the war that the Holy Towers did not appoint replacements, allowing the Wizard Academy to slowly decline until forgotten.
Bandesar City, a small town with about ten thousand people. Green’s figure appeared silently in a corner of the street.
Woo...
The howling cold wind, Green deliberately walked slowly, dragging time into winter, the hardest season for the little beggars. Every place had conflicts, wars, and people most alone and helpless.
In the dirtiest corner of the street, in a makeshift shed, a group of beggars gathered together, shivering.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...
The Magic Wand tapped against the cold, hard stone, making a crisp sound. The littlest girl on the outermost edge of the beggars looked up, her cheeks red and eyes big, staring at the tall figure standing before her, bewildered.
"Tell me, what is your wish now?"
Green’s voice was full of devils’ charm, low and hoarse, penetrating the soul, like the form a Devil’s Contract would take during the great catastrophe of the Spirit People World.
The little girl was a bit scared, involuntarily moving closer to the old beggar beside her. Other beggars also timidly looked at Green, not knowing what the high noble lord intended, what scheme he had, and why he wasn’t enjoying a warm house but instead chose to find joy among the starving beggars.
"Gah gah, young master, this approach seems unfeasible."
On the shoulder, Xiao Ba rubbed his nose with his wings, realizing the difficulty Green faced in implementing the True Spirit Dedication promotion.
Hm!?
Green frowned, standing in the wind and snow, thinking for a while until he suddenly had an epiphany.
The True Spirit Dedication in the Wizard World is about rules created from nothing. This is a rule beneficial to the development of the Wizard World, not forcibly promotable, nor achievable by deceiving a few people.
Suddenly, Green recalled the Trickster World Cluster, where he was moved by the scenes of Tricksters merging with nature, experiencing a never-before-felt compassion for the world.
In this moment, in Green’s eyes, the little girl and these beggars seemed like a herd of little deer, simply part of life’s vitality in the Wizard World. Green showed a warm smile, reaching out to gently pat the little girl’s dirty hair, offering her an indescribable warmth of the soul, a strength of encouragement.
"Would you like a bowl of hot food?"
The little girl’s pupils widened slightly, timidly nodding, filled with boundless yearning.
"Then follow me, everyone who wants to eat to their fill, come with me."
With that, Green turned to leave. The little girl stood up straight, wearing shabby straw shoes, using her nearly frozen, stiff feet to follow Green’s steps. Other beggars hesitated but, driven by hunger, followed as well.
"Oh, God, what a place you chose. That old thing at the Five Rings is a living charlatan!"
Softly, Xiao Ba muttered.
...
"Halt, who dares!"
Two previously listless Knight Guards suddenly saw a group of beggars approaching the mansion gates, blocking Green, who led the way.
"Today is December 1st, driven by compassion, I have come here. Wayward hounds, retract your fangs and show these little deer some mercy, and you will gain more."
The two Knights widened their eyes, bewildered by the situation.
With a moment’s hesitation, apparently fooled by Green’s aura, one Knight continued to block Green and the beggars, while the other ran hastily into the mansion, saying little more. It was a fairly luxurious residence, presumably a noble of ordinary humans, a descendant of a Wizard.
The beggars following Green were a bit intimidated, yet Green maintained an air of compassion, looking pityingly at these shivering little deer, the gatekeeping dogs, another kind of fresh perspective.
