Sky Fall Legend 77 Making Out Like A Bandit! 1

"Vice Sect Master Mercy? Oh, so you know the boss. At ease, my friend. Are you little Crimson, then? Well, he's still down there," Jodye Trill pointed back towards the dark cave innocently, his tone suddenly far more respectful. He was now treating Sirius as a peer performing his duty, rather than a hostile stranger. "He saved me from some ghouls, then retrieved the thing that Sect Master gave me, and told me to return alone while he finished his mission."

Sirius Regal was very skeptical, but as soon as he heard the words 'little crimson' he subconsciously lowered his guard. Only that lunatic would casually disrespect him with his family nickname through one of his disciples. He probably hoped that Sirius would kill the boy out of anger, perhaps he wasn't allowed to make a move on this guy himself!

What foreign negus? This boy sounded more like the Sect Master's favored student! Using others to do his dirty work, this was very Oulan Mercy in style.

Sirius wouldn't fall for it.

After all, if this boy was some particular secret disciple of White Serpent Cove, then he could honestly do nothing to him. Nonetheless, he decided to probe a bit more asking, "My name is Sirius Regal, a captain in the Crimson Riders Mercenary Legion. Do not let your superior's lack of respect continue to influence and endanger you. What's your name, boy, and why are you here?"

"I am Jupiter," said Jodye Trill emotionlessly, as he walked past Sirius Regal fearlessly. He continued with sarcasm, "I am here to recover a particular ingredient. Do I truly need to explain my mission to you? How about this, accompany me to the base in the Evil Wonderland to have a chat with my master. I'm sure he'd love~ to share."

Jodye knew he couldn't easily fight this guy, but he felt like he could escape if he had enough time to restore his astral force. Only then could he use his t.i.tanic rage force! Thus, he decided to use the intel he had collected to dupe this dummy. People of this time were brilliant, but only the Sages were crafty. Saints typically lacked this quality.

"Mission? You? Alone? Your senior didn't even try to help you? You and the old man must have had some sort of conflict?" A rough and manly voice called to the boy from behind. Jodye found himself a bit impressed. Sirius Regal was meticulous. Despite no longer having any deep suspicions, he still probed for more information, he wanted to see the limit.

"Are you implying that I am incapable in some way, sir Regal?" Jodye Trill stopped walking and turned to face Sirius once more. The origin energy in him revolving as a small battle force momentum started to build.

"Hmm?" Sirius Regal immediately noticed the change in Jodye's eyes and aura. This kid was more like an expert than a rookie! He truly had the talent to be so arrogant. He was definitely some powerhouse's direct disciple. "Well, no need to be so tense, young friend. I do not wish to hurt you. There is no problem between us."

"Oh, but there may be," said Jodye Trill smiling mysteriously. Sirius frowned but didn't say anything as he stared at the beast like eyes of the youth in front of him. Seeing this Jodye continued using his fake status to swagger, "There's an unconscious girl in your camp. She's mine. I would like for you to release her to me."

"Girl? What girl?" sneered Sirius Regal. Who did this kid think he was, some pushover? No one could take an opportunity from him so easily.

Jodye Trill's smile disappeared, and his face turned cold as he swiftly pulled out a serenity crystal, "The vice sect master told me that she was lying unconscious on the second floor. Are you telling me that my senior lied to me? Are you truly trying to sow dissension between the upper echelon of White Serpent Cove?"

"Hey! Kid, wait a minute," when Sirius saw the kid pull out a serenity crystal and mention that lunatic, he decided to take a step back. "Okay, the girl's in my camp. However, that la.s.s promised me sumfin, and I aim to get it!"

"What could she have possibly promised you? Nothing that she owns belongs to herself, it all belongs to the Sect Master!" shouted Jodye Trill as if he had just heard his life's greatest insult. "Do you truly dare to say you don't know that girl's body is special somehow? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"The Sect…" Sirius Regal suddenly felt a headache. Well, once he considered things carefully it made a lot of sense. After all, how could such a little la.s.s find some awesome treasure that could talk? Obviously, the treasure was trying to use himself to change its fate. Sirius remembered thinking that this was too big a burden for his karmic wheel. To think he had almost been fooled by his greed! "Little brother Jupiter, please relax. I only misspoke. If the items this girl possesses are in a.s.sociation with your White Serpent Cove, I am willing to relent."

"Sensible," sneered Jodye Trill. What a simp, he thought.

"Take me to her, then."

"SHE TRUSTED YOU, YOU SON OF A b.i.t.c.h!"

Sirius Regal was shocked to see little Aiken Moon hurling a full force kick towards this Jupiter brat from the sky. However, startling still Jupiter merely sidestepped the attack and grabbed the lad's leg. He then proceeded to slam him viciously on the ground!

Bang. Bang.

"I saved your dog life at her request, and this is how you say thanks?"

Bang. Bang. Bang.

"I simply didn't even try to settle accounts after your partners jumped me. You dare a.s.sault me?"

Bang. Bang.

"Who taught you how to use the forces you possess currently? You pathetic whelp, what are you if I had left you alone?"

Crash!

"Bag this one up for me too. This dribble dared to a.s.sault my honored body? The brat is unworthy of a simple death. Why do you even have children here in the first place? What kind of fetish do you old men here have? Yet, you saints claim to be so much better than us priests, hmph." Jodye tossed Aiken casually through a tree, secretly covering Aiken's back in his divine awareness and using calamity qi to make the throw look far more aggressive than it was in reality. Many of the impacts on the ground were the same. Jodye's concept gave his calamity force an explosive quality that could provide quite the visual effect. Jodye Trill actually felt a bit guilty, but secretly gave Aiken an enormous thumbs up. He was sure that this little show had all but proved his alibi.

Plus, now he didn't need an excuse to take the boy as well.

In fact, Jodye was correct in his a.n.a.lysis.

Sirius Regal changed the way he looked at this brat now. He was ruthless enough, that was for sure. This boy's master was likely an official even more powerful than Oulan Mercy! Why else would that madman not harm this child in the least? Sirius Regal felt terrible for little Aiken, but his hands were now tied. Sirius made a hand gesture, and two experts hopped out of the thick bushes nearby and tied the boy up.

Who told the child to throw his life away over a slave girl?

Sirius wasn't going to offend this little madman for an errand boy. They had already gotten a great harvest from this trip, was there a need to be so greedy? At least, Sirius didn't believe so at this moment. There were more pressing matters.

"You must be kidding, young brother Jupiter, matters of circ.u.mstance at best. Yes, just circ.u.mstance, circ.u.mstance… anyway, let us talk about fair trade." Sirius Regal was, of course, a businessman before anything else, "I'm fine with handing over the girl, but I'm sure you know I can't do it for absolutely nothing. Even if I discount our loss of an errand boy due to his own arrogance."

"Yes, yes, the vice sect master said that you seemed to be seeking the dark jumble fruit, yes?" said Jodye Trill glancing sneakily at Sirius Regal. This was actually just a guess! However, to Jodye it made the most sense. Why would Oulan Mercy travel into the depths of Dark Cave? Because he had a method to subjugate fiends! He wanted a treasure! The only real treasure Jodye had encountered in Dark Cave was the Dark Jumble bushes. Sylvester said there was a third level fiend on the floor below.

Thus, he presumed that this was the last interest and reason that this team would still be camped here. They waited for Oulan Mercy, as they wanted their cut of the rewards! Jodye nonchalantly removed two Dark Jumble fruits from his s.p.a.ce ring, and instantly the light in the surrounding dimmed a bit as it was drawn into the glowing bright purple crystal textured fruits, "I have with me here two Dark Jumble fruit. He told me to be wary of you sneakily trying to take them or scam me out of them. However, I am willing to part with one for you in exchange for the safe pa.s.sage of the girl. The other is currently for sale."

"Wah? Why are you just storing them raw, all the origin energy will leak out!" Sirius Regal's eyes brightened as he appeared directly in front of the fruit, and immediately cradled one in his arms before berating, "Why are there only two? There should have been loads of 'em!"

"Indeed, 16 in total," answered Jodye Trill with a shrug. Inwardly, he took note that he indeed needed to procure a magic jade container. "The vice sect master kept the rest and told me to scram back to the top."

"Ah!" Sirius felt like he finally understood the situation in detail. The Dark Jumble Fruit was a premier Earth Science rank Origin Fruit. It possessed the original potency to advance someone in the Earth Science realm an entire rank! Oulan Mercy was in precisely this realm! Even though the effects of eating more than one Dark Jumble fruit would be significantly reduced, it should still help him in breaking through to the next realm. No wonder he sent a junior back in such a dangerous location, he was probably cultivating down there!

After all, he could subjugate fiends!
