1506 Trapped in the City of the Four Kings

—

Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan left the castle with dark expressions. Jane was waiting outside for them. With her were three other maids from the castle.

The four of them helped clean up a building in the city for Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha. Until they got permission to leave, this place would be their residence.

The other three maids quickly departed. Jane stayed to tell Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha about life in the city, even considerately cooking a meal for them.

As the three of them dined together, Jane asked in confusion, “Why don’t the two of you seem happy? Isn’t staying here a good thing?

“In the City of the Four Kings, food, clothes, and homes are all provided for free by the managers, so there are no worries in life. Moreover, the two of you are warriors, so you will even have the opportunity to serve in the God Metropolis. The descendants of the gods live there, and I’ve heard from people in the castle that the gods are very formidable.”

Traveling Buddha pursed his lips. “I have no interest in being a slave to another.”

These words struck at Jane’s pride. She was an orphan, a servant of the castle, and she felt like Traveling Buddha’s words were disrespecting her.

Xia Fan hastily smiled and moved to smooth things over. “Jane, Traveling Buddha doesn’t mean it that way. It’s just that we’ve gotten used to freedom on the outside. We’re finding it hard to adapt to the fact that we suddenly can’t leave.

“Right, I heard from the four city lords that there’s a selection method for going to the God Metropolis. What’s going on there?”

Jane had a kind heart, and she knew that Xia Fan was changing the topic on purpose. She accepted it and patiently explained, “Oh, it’s the annual selection. The God Metropolis has a camp specifically for training warriors. Though the people living in the City of the Four Kings are all servants, if they perform well, they will have a chance to learn from the descendants of the gods.

“You two are outstanding warriors, so you should have this opportunity. I don’t know much about this. You should ask Uncle Luolin. He knows quite a lot.”

Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan glanced at each other. According to the report from Drunken Buddha, Xia Fan was looking for someone here that knew the inside story, and this person had a high chance of being Gardener Luolin.

Xia Fan smiled. “Where is Uncle Luolin now? We want to pay him a visit.”

Jane looked at Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha. “Uncle has a rather strange temperament. He normally doesn’t see outsiders, so let me ask him first.”

After concluding the rather awkward meal, Jane left. Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan had nothing better to do than temporarily take up residence in this building.

The next morning, before heading off to work in the castle, Jane came to Xia Fan’s residence. She said to Xia Fan, “Uncle Luolin has agreed to see you two. Once I get off work, I’ll come to get you two so that you can have dinner at his home.”

Xia Fan nodded. “No problem. I’ll wait for you.”
