Chapter 3339
Soon, the three of them arrived at the city gate of Wood Fragrance City. They stood in line waiting to get checked for prohibited goods before entering the city.
However, when he saw the lineup, Fade couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Because the city gates of Wood Fragrance City were very huge, even larger than that of South Van City. Logically speaking, it should be very fast for people who were lining up to enter the city.
However, at that moment, the people lining up at the gate were all at the side door on both sides of the city gate, waiting to enter the city.
However, no one was in line before the spacious front door in the middle.
So, Fade couldn't help but say, "There are so many people waiting to enter the city. Why aren't they lining up in the middle? Wouldn't it be faster then?"
As soon as Fade finished speaking, the herb collector man Lenny quickly winked at Fade and whispered, "Master, you shouldn't be spouting nonsense."
"Er-"Fade was a little surprised and he whispered back, "It's just the city gates. Why can't I say that?"
Lenny was getting a little anxious. He pulled Fade over, lowered his voice, and quickly explained, "My Lord, only the alchemists are allowed to pass through the main gates of the city. For ordinary people like us, we are only allowed to enter through the side doors."
"This..Fade frowned.
Beside him, Evelyne asked, "Are there many alchemists in Wood Fragrance City?"
Lenny was just an ordinary herb collecting man, and he was not sure about this. "Well, there should be a lot of them. Anyway, the alchemists are all big shots, and we can't be compared with them."
Evelyne said in discontent, "Even if they are big shots, that doesn't mean that they are allowed to occupy the entire main door, not allowing anyone else to use it, does it? This would just make it so much more troublesome for everyone else."
Lenny was so frightened that his expression changed drastically. He quickly gestured for Evelyne to stop talking.
At that moment, in the crowd next to them, a young lady wearing a robe coldly snorted. She raised her chin and proudly said, "How is it inconvenient? Don't tell me that we should let the noble alchemist openly use the same entrance with you mediocre people? It will then be disrespectful to the alchemists!"
Her words caused Evelyne's beautiful brows to furrow into a knot, and she walked over directly to the lady while asking, "The alchemists are also just humans, how is it disrespectful for them to be with everyone else? Also, aren't you also lining up by the sides? If the main gates were opened up, it will be more convenient for everyone."
The lady swung her sleeves and said with disdain, "I'm not the same as you."
"The purpose of me entering this city is to take the Alchemist Association's examinations for alchemists. I will surely pass. By then, when I become an alchemist, I can go through the main door."
The lady's proud attitude made Evelyne's face sink, and she said with disdain, "Haha, in the end, you're just trying to protect your own interests." "If that's the case, then what do you mean by disrespect? All nothing but excuses."
The lady in the robe was furious. She glared at Evelyne and said, "How dare you disrespect a future alchemist!"
"Why so? If you want to fight, I'll surely accompany you." Evelyne rolled up her sleeves and activated her positive energy, looking like she was ready to fight.
Seeing this, the robed lady was so frightened that her face shrank. She hurriedly took a few steps back and said angrily, "I am a noble alchemist. Who wants to fight with you? What a crude!" "You're still scared in the end!" Evelyne said with a smile.
Just right then, an arrogant shout was heard.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
As they shouted, a group of luxury carriages rushed over.
The servants driving the carriage swung the whips in their hands and shouted.
The carriage was so fast that a little girl couldn't avoid it in time. She stumbled and fell to the ground. The carriages were rushing over and it seemed that they were about to hit her.
Even so, the horse carriage did not slow down at all. They continued charging forward.
The galloping hooves and huge wheels were about to crush the little girl to death.
In the crowd, her mother cried out anxiously, but it was of no use. The passers-by sighed with emotions, but in the face of that luxurious carriage, they still couldn't say a word.
The little girl was about to be trampled by the horses, and her life was in danger.
At that critical moment, Fade's fingertips shot out a burst of energy and hit the galloping horse.
The horse wailed in pain and suddenly changed its direction, falling to one side.
The servant was shocked. He pulled the reins desperately, but he couldn't control the horse. He could only watch as the carriage was about to tumble
over.
At the crucial moment, a stream of light shot out of the carriage and stabilised the horse, allowing the carriage to stop steadily.
On the side of the road, the anxious mother rushed forward and hugged the little girl, wanting to leave.
However, the servant driving the car roared, got out of the car, and came over to them. "Stop right there."
The mother and daughter were just ordinary peasants. Facing such an angry shout, they were so scared that they stood still and dared not move. "Master, what can I do for you?" Her mother asked cautiously.
The servant glared at Her. "What else? Your daughter bumped into our carriage and almost caused it to collapse. Tell me, what else am I here for?" After that, the servant swung the whip in his hands and whipped the little girl.
The whip made a loud cracking sound in the air. It swayed with the sound of the wind, and it hit the little girl hard.
If this whip landed on her, it wouldn't be much better than being trampled under the horses.
Seeing this, her mother quickly hugged her daughter and used her own body to protect her from the whip.
When the servant saw this, he became even more furious. "How dare you resist? I'll whip you as well then." With a wave of his arm, the servant increased his strength.
The whip whistled in the air.
Seeing that the poor mother and daughter were about to get hit by the whip, and a tragedy was about to happen.
Right at that very moment, Fade stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and he grabbed the whip.
"You? Who are you? Do you know what you are doing?" The servant was both shocked and furious at the same time. He glared at Fade and tried to pull back the whip.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the other end of the whip was so firmly grasped by Fade that it could not move.
"How dare you! You're looking for death!" The servant was furious. He loosened his whip and was about to use his fists.
Fade's face darkened. He gathered his positive energy and prepared to attack.
At this moment, the woman in the brocade robe suddenly seemed to realize something and shouted with surprise, "Junior Alchemy Master, Mattham. Mr. Chiang, I am Zoella of the Liang family. We have met before. Do you still remember?"
Hearing this, the onlookers then became enthusiastic.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"Mattham Chiang, is it really him? That's the famous Junior Alchemy Master!"
"I've long heard of your name, but I've never seen you before. I didn't expect that I will see you here today."
"Junior Alchemy Master, I'm a fan of yours. I've been buying your medicines."
Of course, in addition to the enthusiastic crowd, there were still some people who had confused looks and began to ask around, including Evelyne. "Who is that Junior Alchemy Master? He seems very famous."
When Zoella heard that, she looked at Evelyne in disbelief and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Mattham Chiang, the Junior Alchemy Master, how could you not know him? Are you even human?"
"You-" Evelyne frowned unhappily.
Zoella's face was full of infatuation
as she continued, "Junior Alchemy Master Mattham is a genius
vel
alchemist of the Alchemist Association. He's less than a hundred years old, yet he has already become a six-star
alchemist. He's the hope of the
Alchemist Association, oneven of all
the alchemist in theTaeyoon
Domain."
"Mr. Chiang's master and also his father is the vice president of the Alchemist Association, the famous eight star alchemist, Senior Roche, the Alchemy Master."
"Young Master Chiang has inherited Roche's legacy. He's even given the title of 'Junior Alchemy Master' because of it."
After listening to it, Evelyne and Fade looked up at the gorgeous carriage.
At this time, the curtains of the carriage were lifted, and a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and attractive eyes came out with a smile.
When everyone saw the man, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"It's really the Junior Alchemy Master. It's true."
"I heard that Mr. Chiang is a rare handsome man. It's indeed just as what I heard!"
"I didn't expect to be able to see Junior Alchemy Master here. How lucky of me!"
With a smile on his face, Mattham waved his hand to greet the people with a gentle face, which directly turned the scene into a fanatical star hunting
scene.
However, Fade was not in the mood to appreciate him nor his looks.
He glanced at Mattham and withdrew his eyes. He just snorted and said, "No matter who you are, the Junior Alchemy Master or Mr. Chiang. You've given your servants the consent to hit the innocent people and caused a life to be in danger, and you allowed your servant to do evil acts. Aren't you going to give an explanation for
that?"
Fade's cold questioning seemed to be out of place in the enthusiastic atmosphere. It sounded really unpleasant.
All of a sudden, the noisy scene quieted down.
Everyone's gazes fell on Mattham, and their whispers were heard.
After all, everyone had witnessed what had just happened to the mother and daughter.
If it weren't for the fact that the horse had somehow gone mad and deviated from its tracks, the little girl would have probably turned into a corpse. Similarly, if it weren't for Fade acting up, the mother and daughter would have been in a pool of blood.
Although everyone knew that the Junior Alchemy Master was really famous, seeing the scene which happened right before their eyes, they still had some doubts about Mattham.
Of course, a brainless fan like Zoella would definitely not doubt him still.
In face of Fade's questionings, before Mattham could speak, Zoella spoke up first, "What's there to explain?"
"They were the ones who were at fault first and blocked the path for alchemists to enter and exit. Even if they were really killed, they deserved it
then."
"On the contrary, Junior Alchemy
Master almost got into danger because of the mother and daughter. If he got injured because
of that, even if the both of them had to die a thousand or ten thousand times, it still wouldn't be enough to pay back for Junior Alchemy Master."
Zoella's inhumane words caused an uproar among the crowd. Many people began to point at her and talk.
