Chapter 409: Section 272: Storm (Part 1)
"Malin! I have a big plan!"
Before going to the Church of Justice, Malin first visited his own Church’s site. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Logan, who also happened to be looking at the gate. Seeing Malin, Logan opened with "big plan," which made Malin curious, "Tell me, what’s the job this time?"
"It’s not your job, it’s the personal contest’s betting pool. I’ve selected a batch of potential contestants, planning to make long-term bets. As long as one of them becomes the champion, I’ll be able to make a tidy profit, principal and interest included." Logan appeared wholly confident, so much so that his face was brimming with pride.
Malin glanced at Faye beside him, who shook her head, indicating her disinterest in this big plan, but considering Malin and Logan’s relationship, it was clear she didn’t mind listening further.
"You have three minutes, Logan," Malin nodded, signaling his old friend to continue his pitch.
Logan immediately pulled out a list: "Here are the underclassmen and upperclassmen I’ve selected; there aren’t any noteworthy guys in the middle grades. For the underclassmen, I’m planning to stick with Maya."
"Maya? Wait, I remember she’s a Shaman," hearing his sister’s name, Malin was curious. As a Shaman, how did she qualify for the individual contest?
Logan once again took on the role of the conscientious young Historian: "The competition committee agreed, and your sister is also willing to believe in the Goddess of Harvest."
"Has she decided on her faith?" Truth be told, Malin had hoped his sister would follow the Orc beliefs of The Great Forest Land, as that was her root, but since Maya was willing to believe in the Goddess of Harvest, he wouldn’t object.
"Yes, speaking of which, the upperclassmen are quite restless. Lately, Maya has been quite popular among them," Logan said this.
