Chapter 250: The One Chosen By The Gods

Chapter 250: The One Chosen By The Gods

Woos wasnt angry at the nonsense he was spewing, rather he widened his eyes and took a good look at the man in front of him.

For normal people, the hero should be dignified and imposing, though may not necessarily be dazzling, but should be an outstanding person of integrity. But the person in front of him with the smoke in his mouth that looked like someone who got into bar fights daily definitely didnt look like a hero.

Greenton had a head full of short dark brown hair, his body bulging with muscles. He was a good deal taller than Woos, wearing an old gray vest and shorts and tattered straw shoes. He in no way looked like a famous hero, but rather a refugee that just walked out of the slums and might beg you for food.

Not only did he look like a poor old man, after a while, you would notice that hes a detestable poor old man!

A ridiculing look, grinning while looking down at Woos as he took a deep breath of his cigarette.

The burning tobacco let out a strange aroma, letting out smoke rings with each breath landing on Woos face making him cough repeatedly.

Cough Greenton, youre late.

Woos waved his hands to disperse the smoke, then held his waist as he slowly found a place nearby to sit and rest.

I say, arent you too rigid? We havent seen each other for so long and the first thing you say is that? Greenton laughed and found a place near Woos to sit.

Tsk, you brat

Woos glared at him, pretending to be angry, but he quickly also laughed.

Old man, hows your body?

Okay, I wont die.

Dying might be difficult, but if your body falls apart and you cant straighten your back, then at that time you wont even be able to leave your bed.

Cough sigh, youre right, when youre old, it gets hard on your back. Woos sighed and hammered his back.

Uh

Seeing that, Greentons smile stiffened.

He would always joke like this with Woos before, and normally he would earnestly rebuke him then laugh.

But this time Woos didnt retort, because his body was getting worse by the day.

If thats the case, then just stay at Loran Academy, whyd you come out to torture yourself? As he said that, Greenton spat out his smoke and stamped on it, then frowned and asked, Do you still think youre that undefeatable grand magician? No, now youre an useless old man, even if something did happen, you cant help your students!

Being directly scolded, Woos wanted to lecture him, but his back was hurting again and he didnt have the energy to argue.

Un, youre right Im useless, I couldnt do anything to help during this incident and almost let my students die, luckily they survived.

You!! Sigh

Seeing his resignation, Greenton didnt continue on. He silently pulled out a smoke, shoved it in his mouth and a lit it with a flame he causally made, then took a deep breath.

Actually, he would rather Woos lecture him, because that meant he still wasnt that old and was still that stern outstanding teacher and not this stinking old man.

Unfortunately, aging was something even a hero couldnt reverse.

Speaking of which, this times incident really surprised me. The Holy Light Church, Lesser Devils the demons have been quiet for half a year, and we did something ourselves first. Greenton slowly blew out some smoke and changed the topic, Old man, I heard that the people who saved Caesar and them were Lin Tian and Yao Zi from Bamboo Academy?

Thats right, cough cough to be precise, it was just Yao Zi.

Ive investigated that Yao Zi before, a fifth-level magician and a complete idiot that cant even complete a magic circle how could she defeat the Lesser Devils?

Based on what he knew, the Lesser Devils were sixth-level just based on their bodies and there were a lot of them that knew how to cooperate with each other, so they were like a small team. How could an idiotic fifth-level magician beat them and save Caesar and them?

By crying, shouting, or kneeling and praying?

No, it was by herself. Woos shook his head and quietly answered, Yao Zi possesses the Wizards bloodline.

Wait the Wizards bloodline? When Greenton heard that, his eyes widened and he almost dropped his smoke.

He knew the real meaning of it and knew how much power it represented. If she was, then even double the number of Lesser Devils might not have injured her.

But, why

Because she isnt fully awakened.

I see, no wonder Ive never heard of it.

Old man, have you heard of that prophecy?

Prophecy? What prophecy?

The Popes prophecy.

Pope St.Geroge?

Thats right, you know that Im not religious, so even the Pope is but a hoodlum to me but hes pretty good with his prophecies. Ive heard a lot about them, how theyre always accurate, and each prophecy is always something earth-shattering!

Something huge? What could it be a war?

No, not just a war, a calamity named the original sin. Greenton sighed, pinched his smoke and started seriously talking, The prophecy says that Eileen will encounter an unprecedented calamity. Itll wither away everything, wipe out humanity and turn the continent into a dead place were powerless against such a calamity, only one person can stop it.

Who?

The one chosen by the gods.

Oh, so is that you? Woos guessed.

As the strongest man on the continent, the strongest hero, it made sense that if the Goddess were to choose, it would be him.

But Woos guessed wrong.

No, I also dont know who that person is, but Im sure that it isnt me. Old man, it isnt me

Greenton

Who knows what kind of emotions Greenton was harboring as he said that.

Regret? Resentment? Anger? Or relief and joy of not having to be responsible.

Woos didnt know, but he did know he definitely had a sense of helplessness at his powerlessness facing the calamity and had to entrust his fate to an unknown person.

As someone strong, he must hate this feeling of helplessness.

The Popes prophecy is incomplete, the only thing we know is that the chosen one is a powerful magician, and theyre very young and are not yet aware of their mission. So I have to find them! Greenton talked about the crucial points of the prophecy and silently stared at Woos.

Woos understood his idea.

A strong and young magician, unaware of their mission, that person, might be from Bamboo Academy, the unawakened foolish magician, Yao Zi.

Is Yao Zi the Chosen One?

Im not sure, further observation is still required, but theres a high chance. Greenton shook his head and suddenly lowered his voice, This cant be rushed. Old man, before I confirm the identity of the Chosen One, you cant leak this information.

Why?

Heh, old man, do you think this is a normal calamity? No, the enemies arent in the forest or the darkness. Saying that, Greenton made a fist and pounded his left chest, But right here, Woos, the enemies are right beside us.

I dont understand, cough but do as you see fit.

Woos didnt understand what he was babbling about. He already told everything he knew to Greenton, so as for saving the world and stopping the calamity, its better that he leaves those to strong people like him.

But then again, was Yao Zi really the Chosen One?

Her matches the prophecy, but Woos felt something was off.

He heard everything about Yao Zis majestic story from a lazy brat thats right, everything was from Lin Xiao since he and his maid were the only people there. Even if Yao Zi did indeed possess the Wizards bloodline, Lin Xiao couldnt prove the rest of his story.

What if just what if, Woos had a bold conjecture.

What if the person who multicast the Flaming Meteors, defeated the Lesser Devils and caused the earthquake wasnt Yao Zi, but someone else

And if that person was Lin Xiao, then what conclusions could you draw from that prophecy?
