Chapter 426: Phoenix

The huge phoenix extended his wings, and the rocks that covered his body fell to the ground as the cave quaked.

"You're dead, Sherlock!"

The Station Inspector of Small Distant Town jumped back. It wasn't known why he did that. Perhaps, the jump would make him more convincing.

He took out an old scroll, opened it, and aimed it at Phoenix as he said, "Phoenix! According to a primordial agreement, we, as well as our ancestors, protected you for thousands of years! You are now free of the magical seal and have to carry out our single wish!"

The Station Inspector shouted, "I… want to have a thousand wishes!"

Phoenix's flaming body stooped down, and the scroll in the Station Inspector's hand burst into flames. The extreme temperature of the flames made him throw the scroll away. The Station Inspector looked bewilderedly at Phoenix, thinking that his wish would be declined. However, Phoenix said, "I acknowledged your wish."
