Chapter 116 - Ninety-Eight: Return_2
Malin smiled and nodded his head, "Apart from love, friendship, and faith, everything in this world has a price."
"Why don’t those three have a price?" the girl asked again, with a touch more curiosity in her voice.
"Love is a priceless treasure that one person can give to another; friendship is a beautiful scroll painted together by two people who trust and recognize each other; and faith is the shield that guards the softest part of each person’s heart," Malin said, turning to the girl. "The rest are just trivial things of this world that can be priced and sold at will."
Malin did not know if anyone could truly understand his words, nor did he expect them to, for in the end, there was no one who could truly understand himself.
Even Faye, who held his hand with a giggly smile, was not the girl who could truly understand him.
But as a man, it’s better not to be too picky.
Upon safely returning to Carterburg, Malin had the Earth Elemental hand over the goods to the person in charge of the Merchant’s Guild warehouse near the city gate, who then gave Malin a receipt.
Taking the receipt, Malin led his team back to the Church. The goblin younglings attracted some attention; some merchants wanted to buy them, but Malin fended them off by saying they would be handed over to the Church of Justice.
The moment he said that, no one dared to take them up on it—those who dared were either dead or on the front line to death.
The Church of Justice, too, was somewhat unprepared for Malin’s Apprentice hunting party bringing in so many goblin younglings. When they learned that Malin and his team had burnt down a goblin habitation, confusion turned into admiration, and the Bishop personally awarded Malin a medal, which was for the entire squad’s participation in the hunting event.
