Bab 608: Seth's Punishment (2)

Hearing the Village Chief's words, Orion inwardly smiled faintly. Even though he knew the Village Chief would likely deny his request, he still wanted to test his luck.

"Okay, Chief, since I can't ask for his life, how about requesting his servitude for a certain period?" Orion responded. 

It seemed like the most reasonable punishment he could think of, providing a more productive outcome than subjecting Seth to several lashes for his transgressions.

"For how long?" The Village Chief asked, gazing at Orion with curiosity. 

He wondered why Orion sought a warrior's servitude. While it wasn't uncommon for individuals to hire warriors by paying a fee, especially considering Orion's accumulated wealth, the Village Chief couldn't help but be intrigued by this unusual request, mainly since Fifi, the strongest warrior of her generation, was already by Orion's side, along with a few warriors which he had arranged by himself.
