Chapter 379: Encounter, And Armory
Rael hummed in satisfaction as he approached the door, then swung it open. Immediately, a long hallway came into view, and of course, he had no idea where he was going.
Even so, he picked a random side, which just so happened to be the left, and then began walking in that direction.
It was getting a bit annoying to limp around like this, but he couldn’t help it. Healing Jashin out of nowhere was a stupid move that could easily be noticed.
Still, Rael finally arrived at a crossing and turned left again. He continued walking until, eventually, he spotted a single guard patrolling the halls.
Once the guard spotted Rael, he froze, then curtly bowed.
"Greetings, Fifth Seat. I apologize for not noticing you sooner," the guard said, then rose, meeting Rael’s eyes. "What is it you’re looking for at such a time? Even esteemed beings such as yourself need rest."
"Would you believe me if I told you I was looking for the bathroom?" Rael mused.
The guard’s brows twitched. "Uh... Sir?"
"I’m kidding. The First Seat told me to do an inspection on the armory, if you know what I mean," Rael added, a look of scorn appearing on his face. "I guess now that I’m weaker, they think they can treat me however they want, huh?"
Then, he glanced at the guard. "What about you? Do you think you can treat me like trash since I’m not as strong as the others?"
The guard bowed. "Not at all, Fifth Seat. We’re servants of the Blazing Sun faction, and no matter your current power, you have our undying loyalty. If you tell me to stab myself through the heart, then I shall do so."
"Alright. Do it then," Rael said with a slight smile, startling the guard.
