Chapter 114 The Last Heir of the Magic Continent 3
"What did you promise me? You won't use magic anymore. Do you want to harm our village?!" The village chief looked at Xie Qi angrily and shouted.
At this time, the area was already full of villagers who had come over after hearing the noise. They all looked at Xie Qi with disgust, and even started whispering to each other.
"I told you before that you can't stay, and look what trouble you've caused again..." said an elderly villager, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Dark magicians should get out of the village, otherwise our entire village might suffer that day..."
"What's foreign is foreign, it's unclear."
The surrounding villagers accused Xie Qi of being a nuisance one after another, as if that would drive him away.
However, Xie Qi did not respond to their accusations and insults, but instead dusted himself off and slowly stood up.
He walked up to the village chief with an expressionless face and said softly, "I'm sorry, village chief. I won't bother you anymore. I will leave here and never come back. Please don't worry."
After saying that, Xie Qi turned and left, leaving behind the villagers who had not yet reacted, as if this place had nothing to do with him anymore.
In Xie Qi's opinion, the worst thing the original owner had ever done was to blow up his adoptive father's rice fields.
Since then, the original owner never cast magic again. Even when bullied by others, he could only endure it silently, holding his head and letting others beat and scold him.
If these villagers could treat the original owner well, perhaps after Xie Qi returned to Shengkaya City and solved all the problems, he would consider helping this village improve its living conditions.
However, the reality was not as it seemed. These villagers had never truly accepted the original owner. Not only did they allow their own children to bully him and snatch the food he had worked so hard to find, they also threw stones at him, leaving him covered in bruises every day.
However, considering that they had once saved the original owner's life, Xie Qi decided to leave immediately and no longer have anything to do with this village.
"948, what is the current situation in Saint Kaya City?"
"Xie Teming is still the king respected by the people, but in reality, he has been secretly helping the Demon King find a way to lift the seal. And he secretly sacrifices living people to the Demon King every year."
Hearing what 948 said, Xie Qi's mouth twitched and he complained: "This name sounds like an insult, but it suits him quite well."
Then, Xie Qi's eyes accidentally fell on the faintly visible golden pattern on the back of his right hand, and he couldn't help but say, "Did the original owner have a tattoo?"
948's expression was obviously a little strange, and he immediately explained, "This is not an ordinary tattoo, but a symbol revered as the Totem of the Son of God."
After hearing this, Xie Qi carefully observed the pattern with doubt. However, no matter how carefully he looked, he could not find anything different.
He couldn't help but think that this totem didn't seem to have the magical properties as the legend said, but its existence might directly reveal his identity.
Thinking of this, Xie Qi's heart couldn't help but tighten. If Xie Teming discovered this totem, the consequences would be disastrous.
So he quickly wrapped the totem in his hand tightly with a long piece of cloth and decided to keep a low profile when he arrived in the city of Saint Kaya to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
After that, he continued on his way. Xie Qi knew that time was running out, because according to the information revealed by 948, the entrance examination for Saint Kaya College this year would be held in a month.
He secretly made up his mind to reach Saint Kaya City within a month.
However, when Xie Qi looked at the road in the distance that seemed to have no end, and then looked at his own legs, he couldn't help but feel despair.
He couldn't help but shout, "Even if you give me a year, I will never get there!!"
But Xie Qi did not give up easily. Along the way, he shamelessly hitched a ride everywhere and constantly asked passers-by for help. Finally, after turning dozens of carriages, he arrived at his destination.
"Huh... I'm so tired, I'm finally here, hahaha... cough cough cough..."
At this time, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar, and a soldier rushed to Xie Qi on horseback and ordered hurriedly: "Get out of the way! The royal team is about to pass, don't stop them!" His words revealed unquestionable majesty.
Xie Qi didn't even have time to catch his breath when he was almost kicked by the horse. Although Xie Qi dodged quickly, he still couldn't stand firmly and sat down on the ground.
Xie Qi was immediately furious, but before he could start cursing, a steady and powerful voice reached his ears.
"No rudeness!"
Szelote quickly jumped off his horse, walked up to Xie Qi, reached out and helped him up, and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I didn't teach my men well. Please forgive his reckless behavior."
After being scolded by Finny, the soldier lowered his head and walked quickly to Xie Qi. He said "I'm sorry" in shame, and then trotted back to the team.
At this moment, Xie Nok, who had just returned from training outside the city, poked his head out of the ornately decorated royal carriage. He looked at Xie Qi and Szelote and asked with concern, "Szelote, is he okay?"
Hearing the prince's words, Szelotte wanted to go over and answer him, but he suddenly felt someone holding his arm tightly and could not move forward.
He turned to look at Xie Qi beside him and saw that he was staring at him seriously. Although he was confused, he still stopped and stood still.
Szelote looked at Prince Shenok and said, "Shenok, you should go back to the city first."
"Hey... okay."
After Xie Nok finished speaking, he smiled at Xie Qi and said, "Sorry, my friend, if you need any compensation, you can ask him. He is the most powerful knight in our Saint Kaya City. He won't let you down."
After saying this, Shenok winked playfully at Szelote and then got back into the carriage. As the driver whipped the horse, the carriage slowly drove towards the city.
Szelote sighed, turned around and looked at Xie Qi, who was still clinging to him tightly, and said in a gentle and soothing tone, "We were at fault first. We accidentally bumped into you. What compensation do you want?"
However, Xie Qi gently shook his head, a trace of innocence on his face, and replied softly: "I don't want compensation. It's my fault for standing at the city gate and blocking your way. I just got here today."
After hearing Xie Qi's explanation, Szelote was slightly stunned, as if he understood something.
It suddenly occurred to him that at this particular time, almost all the people arriving at Saint Kaya City were magic scholars taking the entrance exam. So, he tentatively asked Xie Qi, "Are you here to take the exam, too?"
Xie Qi smiled and nodded in affirmation.
Seeing this, Szelote immediately suggested enthusiastically, "How about I take you to Saint Kaya College? After all, the roads in this city are quite complicated."
Xie Qi nodded happily and agreed: "Okay~ Thank you."
In this way, Xie Qi followed Szelote into Saint Kaya City. Along the way, the two chatted happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Xie Qi asked curiously, "By the way, was that man the prince of this country? Xie... the son of King Xie Teming?"
Szelotte nodded and replied, "Yes, he is His Royal Highness. But you'd better not call the king by his name, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Xie Qi blinked and nodded, not quite understanding.
At this moment, Xie Qi was asking 948 in his mind: "Does this Xie Nuoke know what his father did?"
"Host, to be precise, Shenok is not Xie Teming's son. He is the son of the former Earl Xie Teming. That night, Shenok's mother took Shenok back to her parents' home. Otherwise, they would both have died."
"Besides, he was the only one who knew about Xie Teming's deal with the Demon King. Later, he became king, and Xie Nuoke naturally became the prince of this country. Xie Teming originally wanted to kill Xie Nuoke as well."
"But in order to cover up the Demon King's affairs, he spared Xenok's life. He also cast a spell on Xenok. If Xenok shows any signs of becoming the Son of God, he will die immediately."
"This way, the people will know that as long as the little prince hasn't awakened as the Holy Son, it means that their magical continent remains peaceful and the seal is still strong."
"But, look, aren't you the Son of God? The seal has been loosened long ago, but no one has been kept in the dark."
After listening to what 948 said, Xie Qi nodded in understanding. It seemed that Xie Teming had done all this alone. However, he still needed to observe Xie Nuoke carefully.
