Chapter 997 Xinoning: Are these two really going this far?
"How much did you spend on the food?"
Xinoning reached into his pocket, ready to pay for Cecilia's meal; it was a small matter for a friend.
In her line of sight, Sitella slowly raised a finger.
Hinonin nodded. "One thousand Mora, I understand..."
"one million."
Xinoning: "..."
Xinoning froze upon hearing the number.
I wonder if I heard it wrong.
How many Mora?
one million? !
"Sethralli, have you taken over this shop and are you planning to move it from the Smoke Lord tribe to the arena?"
Xinoning withdrew his hand, leaving no Mora in his palm.
If it's 1,000 Mora, she can still pay for Sitrally.
Even ten thousand Mora, they could scrape together, but a million...
Xinoning was also at a loss.
A meal for a million Mora? Xinoning seriously suspected that Cetalari was trying to experience a new life, perhaps by taking over the shop and becoming her own boss to experience life outside of the world of cigarette enthusiasts.
“How could that be!” Seth Lari shook her head. “The Lord of Smoke is doing quite well here. I have no plans to move out for the time being. Besides…”
"If I were to bring up the Smoke Master, how do you think those guys would react?"
Although Sitrally is not the leader of the Smoke Lords, her status is higher than that of the leader.
She is the leader's elder.
The grandmother who watched the other person grow up.
Not only the leaders, but the vast majority of the people in the Smoke Master's group were raised under her watchful eye.
If she were to move out, the internal affairs of the Yanmizhu (a fictional organization) would surely descend into chaos.
“As for one million Mora…” Setrali glanced at Lin Mao across from her, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
This action made Xinoning realize that the million Mora was not what Sitrali wanted, but rather that she had a compelling reason to have it.
As for the reason, it should be related to the way Cetalli looked at the young man.
Seeing everyone's gaze fall on him, Lin Mao wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth and gave a kind smile.
"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Lin Mao, and I am now Cetalli's creditor."
"They're not saying you're the new Vulcan anymore."
Lin Mao raised an eyebrow, looked at Cetalli, and smiled, "Isn't it you who stubbornly refuses to acknowledge me as the God of Fire?"
The rule of Nata seems to be that the strongest becomes the God of Fire, and Lin Mao defeated the God of Fire head-on in the arena.
Kinich interjected, crossing his arms, and said, "The rules are like this, but there's a prerequisite: the person must be a Nata, not someone from another country. I've never seen you in Nata before."
"Even someone as powerful as me can't become the God of Fire, so how dare you, a complete stranger, claim you can defeat that woman and become the God of Fire, Nata?!"
With a 'bang', a two-dimensional dragon appeared beside Ginitch and chattered at Lin Mao.
Upon seeing the other party, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Mao's eyes. "This thing is a bit different from the Teyvat style."
"Hmph! I was once the lord who ruled Nata. It would be a miracle if I were the same as these insect-like humans!"
boom!
With a scream, Kinich withdrew his fist. "That guy doesn't think before he speaks, and he's not very bright. He's always fantasizing that he's a lord. Don't pay him any mind."
"Really? I feel there's some truth to what he said."
Lin Mao said.
How could something so special not have a special origin or history?
"If someone like him was truly a lord who ruled Nata in the past, then it's not surprising that their rule was overthrown by humans."
"You bastard!" The cartoon dragon reappeared beside Ginitch with a 'bang'.
Visible signs of anger.
"I'm talking to this nobody brat, what's the meaning of you knocking him away?!"
Kinich looked at him, sighed, and reminded him, "I advise you to say less. Didn't you see that when he said he was the new Vulcan, even Grandma Obsidian of the Smoke Mystery Master didn't say a word to refute him?"
"Huh?" The cartoon dragon named Ajo paused for a moment, letting out a soft exclamation, seemingly not expecting Ginitch to say that.
They also failed to discover that such a thing was being hidden.
"I told you so. If he were a lord, then it would only mean that the lord's rule should be overthrown."
Ginitch sighed.
"Who do you think you are!" A-Qiao said angrily.
Unfortunately, his anger posed no threat to anyone present.
"Wait, didn't that old witch deny that the man was the god of fire?"
"But it didn't deny it either."
Neither denying nor admitting, and letting the other party continue talking, is actually a form of admission.
At least part of it was acknowledged.
For example... defeating Vulcan Mavica.
That's the rule of Nata: whoever defeats the Vulcan in the arena will become the new Vulcan.
But there is a premise.
That means only locals of Nata can participate in arena duels.
People from other countries are not allowed to participate in arena duels.
Naturally, there was no possibility of challenging or defeating the God of Fire.
After exchanging names...
Marani couldn't help but be the first to speak, "You really defeated Lady Mavica?"
This question arose after she listened to Kinich's analysis.
The power of the current Vulcan, Mavica, is well-known.
She is the strongest of all the fire gods in history.
In Marani's mind, Mavica would never fail.
"No, we just used some tricks to get her sent elsewhere."
Lin Mao shook his head slightly.
"Look! Look! What did I say! How could this brat possibly defeat that woman?!"
Immediately afterwards, Lin Mao felt a foot kicking him from under the table.
Looking up, Cecilia smiled insincerely, "Well, so you've been trying to scare me all this time!"
Lin Mao raised an eyebrow slightly, and his voice rang directly in Cetalli's head.
"You didn't actually mean what I just said, did you? I was just trying to save face for your Vulcan!"
In the war against the abyss, the Nata people needed a belief, and the invincible fire goddess Mavika was that best belief.
As long as Mavka is there, the Nata people believe that they will surely win their war against the Abyss.
But if word gets out that Mavica lost to someone... even though Lin Mao is quite famous, a loss is a loss.
The Nata people's beliefs will be severely damaged.
Sitella was taken aback. She was only thinking about taking revenge on Lin Mao and forgot to use her brain to think things through.
Lin Mao's display of this skill is enough to demonstrate his strength.
This allows the shaman, Seth Lari, the master of smoke and riddles, to invade without any warning.
Even Mavica couldn't do something like that.
Sylvia felt a little embarrassed and tried to pull back her foot that she had kicked at Lin Mao, but found that it was being held by a large hand.
Her eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Let go!"
Lin Mao smiled faintly, his voice echoing in my mind, "How many times have you kicked me? You think you can just let go like that?"
Xinoning noticed something was off about the two of them, as well as the slightly trembling table.
"..."
