Chapter 971: Section 635: Some Promises (Part 3)
"Do you see, my old friend?" As they left the military camp, old Hagelberry’s old friend, Thomas Six-toes, muttered at his side.
Old Hagelberry glanced at his old friend: "What grand insight are you about to spout now?"
It was not that the old man was being sarcastic, but this old friend sometimes spoke completely without thinking, like the other day when he represented the King to inspect the camp. The next day, when questioned at the Noble assembly, he blurted out that the army seemed as obedient as Malin’s own arm.
Half the Noble assembly that day was riled up, while the other half was frantically trying to clean up the mess created by Thomas’s foolish statement.
Fortunately, King Manheim has always trusted Malin, and although Malin has not really mentored Prince Soren, he personally kindled the Psychic Flame for the boy and prepared a whole set of potions for him. It was admitted by the Prince’s Spiritual Energy tutor that, without Malin’s preparations, it would take at least a year to ignite the Prince’s Spiritual Energy.
Time is the most precious wealth in this world.
It is precisely because King Manheim trusts Malin that Thomas’s foolish actions that day did not turn into a farce, and it was also due to Malin’s kindness and magnanimity that this fool has the chance to stand before old Hagelberry today.
That’s why old Hagelberry was very eager to warn this fool with his eyes — they were only an arrow’s shot away from the camp’s main gate. If a soldier with keen ears overheard his nonsense, the next second a bullet might just roll through Thomas’s head.
Old Hagelberry was sure that those soldiers who saw Malin as the one and only Marshal would definitely do so.
