BXBX NOVEL Chapter 390 A Time To Receive
With this, Gudzil suspected that Seth was a Kaiser and if that was indeed very true, then it meant that the men before him could surely save the town from the incoming disaster.
With his hands subconsciously clapped together, Gudzil looked to Seth with a pleading gaze, a bit of fear that he might have perhaps offended Seth with his plea building up in him, but when he remembered the fate that would await the inhabitants of Ukota, he steeled his resolve and held firm.
Though he was now determined, Gudzil\'s heart beat faster than normal and soon a bit of relief began seeping into him as Seth looked in the direction of Lukta forest.
"Oh, so it was a beat tide" Seth muttered unable to help but internally facepalm at his oversight.
With him having flown to Ukota, how could Seth not have passed over the hordes of beasts speeding all through Lukta forest.
Having just failed at his investigation into Lukta forest, Seth was in a far from good mood and found it hard to keep his mind clear, so though he had passed over the stampeding beast he had simply ignored them.
"Yes sir, with the number of beasts that died in the last beast tide, another beast tide occurring so soon is the last thing anyone would have expected, and so we are vulnerable and at its mercy"
Saying this much to Seth in reply to the words he had muttered, Gudzil swallowed as he hoped and prayed.
Though there was no concrete proof, with the events that had happened the last time he met Seth, the scene of beasts avoiding Seth when he walked, Gudzil suspected that Seth was the one who had ended the tide, and now Gudzil hoped the man would do the same.
Seconds passed and Seth said nothing just staring at the forest by the time three minutes had gone by, the ground had begun trembling and the roars of the approaching beast could be heard.
Gudzil clenched his fist as the approaching wave got closer, and soon when he could no longer hold it in, he spoke.
"Sir the beasts."
"Ehhh yeah don\'t worry, I\'m just waiting for them to come close so I can send them back.
That reminds me, how is that tiger I left with you the last time we spoke."
Seth\'s choice of conversation topic in such a dire situation had Gudzil silent for some seconds, contemplating whether or not he should put his trust in Seth, but then remembering the rather grim fate that awaited the town and its inhabitants, he decided to persevere with the man for a bit longer, the fear of offending him also having a hand in his decision.
"Well, erhm the government\'s soldier came for it, Kaisers in particular, coming and subduing the both of us when we tried to resist," Gudzil said with a shiver as he remembered the memory
"You didn\'t know of this sir,"
\'" No," Seth said going silent, and then after a while he spoke.
"On further thought it\'s not fair that I abandoned you after the help you gave me after all there was a chance that you could have died, a reward is in order won\'t you agree."
"No sir, I don\'t need a reward, my current position is enough, I have been given enough resources to take me to the peak of the 3rd stage of the general level, and I am now a mayor, I have benefited more than enough from your generosity."
"That\'s nice of you, but the thing is none of these things you mentioned are from me, perhaps I influenced them but like I said I had no conscious hand to play in them.
Besides are you sure you want to refuse being given a rank 6 beast as a pet?"
When Gudzil heard the first of Seth\'s words, he was going to think over them but then Seth\'s last sentence was registered by his brain and had it crashing down, a powerful desire soon filling his body.
"A rank 6 beast sir"
"Yes"
Though he had a town to watch over and still wasn\'t 100% sure of its fate, Gudzil\'s mouth opened and closed as he imagined himself having a rank 6 beast as a pet, a pet that not even most Kaiser-level cultivators would be able to have.
There was a time to be humble and there was a time to receive, right now was a time to receive.
What Seth had offered Gudzil was so valuable that Gudzil was at the moment ready to engage in the country\'s political squabble if need be.
This wasn\'t just an offer of a beast, he had seen what Seth had done with the tiger before, making the all-powerful creature obey him a lowly soldier cultivator.
If Seth could deliver him such a beast, the thought of his battle strength and standing amongst cultivators had Gudzil near giddy.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir," Gudzil replied.
"Though I\'m not sure of its whereabouts, will you prefer I find and give you the tiger or would like to make a selection from amongst the incoming beasts"
Seth\'s words shocked Gudzil once more, and in the end, he quickly nodded his head,
"I would prefer the tiger"
Gudzil at the very least knew the tiger and had seen the beast being tame, though he didn\'t know how Seth would do it, he was wary of receiving a beast from among the best tide as a pet, not that he had no trust in Seth\'s mysterious taming methods but that he was rather wary of accidents.
"Good, you\'ll follow me to the capital then."
Immediately Seth spoke these words, Gudzil\'s face scrunched with a bit of worry and then defeat, thoughts of political struggles already bubbling in his head, but before long, those thoughts left as the bast finally became visible, leaving the cover of the trees in their numbers and like a wave they charged forward and toward Ukota.
Gudzil moved to hastily look at Seth, watching him stay silent for some seconds and then suddenly speak in a calm but loud voice like he was addressing an audience,
"All of you calm down and return to the forest, you are in no danger."
