Chapter 43

After a momentary silence, Efran frowned and said, “So what if you are a Human Realm expert? I am also one! Everyone, don’t be afraid! We have the numbers advantage on our side!”

Chu Nan felt his scalp going numb as he looked at the dozens of swords pointed at him. Shanz had the ability to protect himself, but that did not mean the same for him in the scuffle.

What about bluffing him? Oftentimes, when a man wants to show off in front of a woman, it would be hard to deceive him. When he looked at Saintess Calina who possessed incomparable beauty, he quickly understood how powerful a femme fatale was for the first time ever.

‘What am I so unlucky? I’m still a virgin for goodness sake! I have yet to get rid of my virginity so how can I die here?’ Chu Nan angrily shook his head. It seemed like he would have to summon White Tiger and fight his way out. Even if he would offend a country, he could always find another country to live in.

“Everyone, please listen to me.” Chu Nan spoke up to break the suffocating atmosphere. “As someone who has desecrated the God of Light, I am completely at fault and as such, I do not wish to resist. But I hope that you could satisfy a small wish of mine before I die, would that be possible?”

Efran was surprised by Chu Nan’s seemingly compliant attitude. ‘Of course, it’s for the best if we can do without a fight!’

With that massive barbarian swinging that massive club around, if he were to harm any of his knights, it would be difficult for him to provide an explanation when they returned. Therefore, he hastily nodded to Chu Nan’s peaceful suggestion.

Plus, in the Dulraze Country and the Shengyuan Continent, they would often satisfy a reasonable request or wish of a death convict before their execution.

Doing such favors at little costs, Efran was naturally willing to do so.

“Alright, speak of your wish and I shall listen to it.”

Chu Nan sighed and with a solemn expression, he said. “I have desecrated the God of Light, committing an unforgivable sin towards my faith. Before my death, I hope that I can have a small room for myself to repent my sins to the God of Light.”

Shanz and Catherine blankly looked at Chu Nan as they were completely oblivious to his intentions.

‘An expert is indeed an expert. How can one have such an extraordinary train of thought!’ Shanz and Catherine were totally confident that Chu Nan would be safe, so they relaxed their battle stance with the mentality of watching a good show.

“Ah? That’s all?” Efran tilted his head to the side in confusion before laughing out loud. ‘There’s actually such a stupid idiot in this world? He has two powerful bodyguards by his side and yet, he’s not even thinking of taking a gamble to kill their way out of the encirclement?’

“Go ahead, that cottage will do.” Efran casually pointed to one of the empty cottages on the street.

Chu Nan deeply bowed to express his thanks and carefully guarded against a possible sneak attack from the knights as he walked into the empty cottage.

With the doors and windows closed, those on the streets could only hear Chu Nan’s loud and tear-jerking repentance from the room, but they were unable to see what he was doing inside.

Clearly, Efran was not afraid of Chu Nan escaping. As the temporary commander-in-chief of Dolunga City, he was rather familiar with the terrain here. Moreover, there was Saint Knight Yashly who possessed a flying mount on stand-by. Even if Chu Nan intended to escape, it was not difficult to recapture him back.

“Oh great God of Light! Your humble follower, Chu Nan, is currently repenting to you for I have committed an unforgivable sin! I am unworthy of life as I have tarnished the teachings of the God of Light. I am truly unworthy. Unworthy!”

Chu Nan loudly shouted while hastily opening his spatial bracelet. However, the moment he went in to grab the White Tiger seal card, he hesitated.

‘The appearance fee of this White Tiger isn’t cheap! Even more so when I need it to kill people. How much would I have to pay for it to kill a way out? Can I possibly go bankrupt from this single use?’

‘Sh*t, how can I possibly think of being cheap in such a dangerous situation? I’m really a miser!’ Chu Nan gave himself another tight slap which echoed through the cottage’s walls. Outside, there were many followers who had been moved by Chu Nan’s devout heart.

‘What a devout follower of the God of Light! Not forgetting to repent before his death and in addition, he physically punished himself for his sins. A person with such noble qualities is truly admirable.’

With a single tight slap, Chu Nan’s eyes started seeing stars, and as he was gaining back his bearings, he saw the pile of scrolls hidden underneath the boxes of dragon crystal that he had in the spatial bracelet.

‘Scrolls? A Heaven Grade forbidden spell scroll? [God of Light’s Gift]? And there seems to be two such scrolls here!

Oh right, I’m saved! Not only that, the entire city is saved too!’

Chu Nan was excited to find two Heaven Grade forbidden recovery spell scrolls, [God of Light’s Gift]!

‘One should suffice, right?’ Chu Nan carefully took out one of the scrolls and gently patted his life-saving amulet.

After living in the forest for half a year, he had found out the method to use the seal card along with the magic scrolls.

The first method was to use magic of the same element to activate the scroll.

Unfortunately, Chu Nan had yet to practice any magic until today. The reason for that was not because he had no intentions to train or he had no learning material. It was because he would be simply seeking death to solely concentrate on his studies in the Heaven Forest where danger was hiding at every corner.

At first, Chu Nan intended to find a quiet place after they left the Heaven Forest and sell away a batch of small magic cores they had obtained along the way. After that, he would be a local rich man with a bunch of time to train a magic skill book that was not as freakish as . By then, he would have some capabilities to back himself up in this cruel world.

However, at this crucial juncture when Chu Nan did not possess any magic powers, he could only bear with the pain and choose another method of activation.

And that method was: Blood!

The caster of the scroll can bite or prick their fingers and use their blood to activate the scroll.

With the scroll prepared, Chu Nan secretly kept the White Tiger card somewhere easily accessible. In the event whereby a single scroll was insufficient, he could still summon White Tiger to aid his escape.

*Creak…*

The cottage door was slowly opened. With a solemn expression, he walked out of the cottage with steady steps.

“You’re out? You’ve finished repenting?” The moment Efran thought that he could finally kill Chu Nan who was more handsome than him, and had a woman more beautiful than those by his side, he was more or less excited. “Let’s proceed with the execution!”

“Hold on.”

“What’s the problem again?” Efran felt impatient. He was a Viscount and yet, he had been interrupted twice by a random man from the wild. This had truly damaged his dignity as a Viscount, but due to the fact that the beautiful Carlina was right here, he could not afford to drop his gentlemanly facade.

Chu Nan looked around, and unknowingly the streets had been slowly flooded with people. It seemed like even if they had been infected with the plague, they still possessed the spirit of gossiping.

‘The more people here, the better it is for me.’ Chu Nan nodded in satisfaction and lightly coughed to attract the crowd’s attention. He tried to make his voice sound as deep as possible as he spoke, “Everyone, I believe all of you are aware I had done a major sin that had desecrated the God of Light. However, I wish to say that I did not desecrate the God of Light, and the reason is because I’m a messenger! Just yesterday, the God of Light had entered my dreams to ask me to come and rescue everyone!”

The entire streets fell into a state of silence. Then, someone accidentally farted, and it was clearly heard by everyone present.
