Chapter 201: The Tin Knight and The Interlude of The West — (2)
— We’ll determine the hierarchy among the leaders through duels!
At this sudden proposal, the golden monkeys asked as if unsure what to do, but Franka shrugged and granted the Small People’s King’s request.
In fact, from her perspective, it was more convenient to listen to the voices of a few with the highest rank rather than hearing each of these leaders chattering.
A duel arena was immediately set up, and the leaders of each faction, or the strongest who came with those leaders, competed against each other.
As Franka watched this as if sightseeing, an old scholar approached and asked, “Ruler, should we also compete for rank in that fight?”
“Of course not. I’ll treat you well enough without doing that, so just quietly watch.”
At Franka’s words, the old scholar who had come representing the Sky Island let out a sigh of relief.
The scholars of Sky Island were a group formed by the descendants of disciples that the Witch of the West had been using all this time, and their level of knowledge and culture was not something even Franka could look down on.
Franka had not the slightest intention of injuring them with unnecessary physical fights, as they had infinite value for use in future workshop management, other businesses, or even collaborating on Franka’s own research.
“Kuhuk!”
“Ughak!”
As if to prove that his confidence wasn’t just bluster, the Small People’s King’s performance was dazzling.
