Chương 22: Unexpected Guest
Biên tập viên: Atlas Studios
Since the Saintess had already reacted, the matter would definitely be left to her to handle.
A Divine Spirit ought to impart teachings to the world.
Soon after their lives were stabilized, a rare guest appeared in the Aquila Tribe—the Dwarfs.
In fact, the Dwarfs rarely had any contact with the Aquila Tribe. Thus, even the Aquila Tribe's knowledgeable Chief was a little confused to see the Dwarfs.
In the end, the Dwarfs were guests. Although he did not understand what their purpose of visiting was, he and the Aquila Tribe received and entertained them nonetheless.
In the beginning, the two tribes got along rather harmoniously. They would often enjoy joyous conversations over a few drinks. After all, more and more tribes had been wanting to worship Tang Sen, the Divine Spirit, ever since he appeared.
In the beginning, the Aquila Tribe was rather new to the idea. But as more and more of such people appeared, they became increasingly familiar with it.
However, after talking for a while, the Dwarf tribesmen began to introduce the purpose behind their visit. "I've heard from many people that divine fire has appeared here. Is that true?"
The Aquila Tribe's Saintess and Chief exchanged glances, and they both understood that the Dwarfs definitely didn't come for a simple matter. They could basically deduce that the Dwarfs' agenda revolved around Tang Sen.
However, the Saintess felt that they did not come with kind intentions. Since the matter involved Tang Sen, the Saintess had a vague tinge of vehemence in her youthful and energetic tone when she spoke. "No. Sir, there is no divine fire here. We're just worshiping our Divine Spirit."
At the mention of their worship of the Divine Spirit, the Aquila Tribe's tribesmen all looked proud and reverent. They were clearly proud of their Divine Spirit, but their pride did not influence the Dwarfs in front of them.
They remained unmoved after looking at the expressions of the Aquila Tribe's people. "Oh, adorable lady, I think there's no need for you to say this now. Since you've said this, the rumors about the divine fire must be true then. Can we take a look at the divine fire?"
Although the Dwarf was talking to the Saintess, he did not show much respect toward her. Instead, he was looking at the Chief in front of him. However, the Chief dared not agree to such an absurd thing in front of the Saintess.
Yes, absurd. Even the Chief thought that the Dwarfs had gone mad.
In fact, the knowledgeable Chief had already understood the purpose of the Dwarfs' visit at this juncture. The Dwarfs were a household name among the tribes, and they were known for their proficiency in forging.
Basically, all the tribes coveted the Dwarfs' things, and the Dwarfs' current agenda was clear.
The Dwarfs were good at forging, which inevitably involved fire. They were extremely excited when they heard about the divine fire that could enhance their forging.
How could the Saintess not know about this? It was precisely because she knew about this that she felt incredibly infuriated.
Tension rose in the air at this moment, and the Dwarfs had basically already stated their intentions. If it was reasonable, the Aquila Tribe would not turn them down.
Their prestigious Divine Spirit would not appear just because of the Dwarfs' gifts. If they were to put their Divine Spirit in an awkward position after accepting the Dwarfs' gifts, that would be the greatest blasphemy.
The Saintess was still young after all. After hearing those words from the Dwarfs, the Saintess felt exasperated. She stood up with fury in her eyes and said, "Please go back. I can't agree to such a ridiculous request."
The Dwarfs properly behaved themselves, and they gave an adequate response. They definitely knew that the Aquila Tribe had worshiped that ball of flames as their Divine Spirit. The Dwarfs had only done this because they looked down on the Aquila Tribe.
"Little girl, there's no Divine Spirit. You'd better sit down," said the Dwarf, who obviously did not accept her response.
The Aquila Tribe's people could basically confirm that the Dwarfs would not take 'no' as an answer.
The Saintess stared at the Dwarfs sullenly. At this point, she was extremely angered because nobody had ever dared to speak to her in such a way after she became the Saintess.
"You're committing blasphemy against the Divine Spirit." The Dwarfs were nonchalant because they had never seen the Divine Spirit before. But if her own tribe's people were to waver after hearing the Dwarfs' words, it would be a huge insult to the Divine Spirit.
Fortunately, not many wavered. Even though it might be tempting to some, those of the Aquila Tribe had seen what Tang Sen was like.
Hence, the Aquila Tribe's other tribesmen also stood up after the Saintess got up. The Dwarfs refused to seem weak, and a battle was initiated.
"You guys really don't know any better." While looking at the Saintess, the Dwarf slowly stood up.
The Saintess was also a talented person, and she had never slacked off in her cultivation. But after an exchange of blows, the Saintess was clearly losing the upper hand.
Since they could make it here, none of the Aquila Tribe's people were weak. They quickly got into a scuffle with the other Dwarfs. However, the Saintess got injured at this juncture.
While glaring at the Dwarfs in front of her stubbornly, the young Saintess gritted her teeth and dashed forward, ignoring her injury. She clearly didn't care about the fact that she was wounded.
The battle started and ended quickly.
The Aquila Tribe soon lost the upper hand. Although the battle only lasted for a short while, there were clearly casualties. The Saintess had already expected this outcome right from the beginning. However, she was still upset by this matter.
Although she was injured, the Dwarf in front of her did not think of killing her. Instead, he teasingly inched toward her bit by bit, like a cat teasing a mouse.
The Saintess could obviously see the contempt in the Dwarf's eyes, but many were impressed by the determination in her eyes at this moment. "Even if you kill me today, I won't let you get near the Divine Spirit."
