Chapter 683: Chapter 380: God of Fraudsters – Divine Technique of the Silver Coin_1

“Divine Soul? Being a Divine Soul indeed makes you immune to my influence. But what about that fire on your head? Faith fire? Fire of Mass Faith?!” The Great Sage wore an expression of seeing a ghost.

Harvey had experienced the Fire of Mass Faith, so the Great Sage recognized this flame instantly. But because he recognized it, it was hard to believe.

What is Silver Coin? Just a Goblin Witch. Whether it’s Harvey or the Great Sage, they could squash him like a bug. But oddly enough, such a small goblin has the Fire of Mass Faith?

Confused, the Divine Soul touched the Fire of Mass Faith, asking, “Is it powerful? But it doesn’t even give discounts.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sparkling Fire of Mass Faith suddenly flared up, turning into a ball of flame. An invisible ripple spread out, engulfing the entire plane.

If there were any gods in the lost plane, they should be able to feel this fluctuation.

The Great Sage couldn’t perceive the ripple, but he had witnessed this transformation, and it shocked him so much he could barely maintain his form, “Divi…Divine Fire, did you ignite the Divine Fire?”

The transformation had caught Ange’s attention, he couldn’t help but project onto Silver Coin. Along with him, Negris, Durken, and Feiti also projected themselves.

“Pfft! God of Fraudsters! Kvada, did you really ignite the Divine Fire?” Negris felt like he was going to burst from holding in his laughter.

When he initially ignited Silver Coin’s Fire of Mass Faith with just words, Negris thought it was absurd. But, in such a short time? A small flame of Faith was ignited into the Divine Fire. Where did the faith of this damned fraudster come from?

If the Fire of Mass Faith could be attributed to Negris’ influence, since his mouth was blessed, saying bad things can also be good, then, turning a small flame of Faith into the Divine Fire requires solid foundations of faith, lot of followers, and zealous beliefs. Where did his followers come from?

Silver Coin was also confused about this. But after a while, he seemed to understand, “I think I know who’s worshipping me, I’m hearing lots of voices.”

Ange tilted his head, used his mind to tap into the Divine Fire of Silver Coin. Regardless of whether Silver Coin becomes a god or not, Ange has absolute control over him, quite like a god.

As soon as his mind made contact, Ange was overwhelmed with tidal waves of information. He had seen this situation many times before, the followers of the Undead God, God of Farming, and Goddess of Beauty, also pray to their gods in such a way.

The children all played to their heart’s content and they proposed to come again during their next holiday.

Su Qingluo, of course, welcomed them warmly, indicating with a wave of her small hand that she would take them to a more beautiful valley for their next outing, eliciting a wave of eager cheers.

With reluctance, the children boarded the ferry to return home, each escorted by their attendants.

Su Qingluo saw off her classmates, and along with the Little Prince, headed home horseback, escorted by three large dogs.

The Little Prince had a great time.

Despite the teasing he endured, which left a slightly unpleasant impression of the three cheeky sisters, his curiosity for new things was unaffected.

Once home, the Little Prince was noticeably preoccupied, eating less than usual and sleeping restlessly.

After fussing for a few days, under Su Qingluo’s deliberate encouragement, he finally let out the truth.

He wanted to go to the Academy with his sister.

************

A five-and-a-half-year-old child going to school was unheard of, at least in Woniu Village and the surrounding rural areas.

When Su Qingluo heard that the Little Prince wanted to go to school, it took her aback. Her first thought was of the sticky little fellow starting to cry again.

She had already lost to his tears more than once.

With his little mouth pouted and big eyes looking pitifully at you, tears steadily falling down his face.

The feeling — it was heartbreaking to say the least.

Just one look was enough to make you feel guilty, as if you had done something unforgivable.

In the end, out of felt sympathy, she would agree to his wishes.

********

Going to school was a big deal, she couldn’t make the decision alone, so she had to summon the two Imperial Shadow Guards to discuss the matter with them.

Moving from the peaceful nest of Woniu Village to the noisy Academy would put more pressure on the guards in their mission to protect the Little Prince.

The two Shadow Guards didn’t dare to be careless. That same day they sent a message by carrier pigeon, formally reporting the matter to the Empress.

The Empress was comforted to learn that her son was in good health. She immediately issued a decree awarding the Su Clan with substantial rewards.

As for the matter of schooling, after careful consideration, she did not agree to send her young son to the Academy.

At the Noble Lord’s suggestion, a Female Official with both virtues and skills was dispatched from the Imperial Court to teach the Little Prince at the villa.

At the same time, the Empress also approved to select children of decent character from the nearby counties, who would study alongside the Little Prince as companions.

*******

The Empress’s rewards and decree were promptly dispatched, arriving at the Su House in Mingshui County and the imperial villa across the river coinciding with the Academy’s next holiday.

Su Ziqin and Su Zixuan accepted the Court’s rewards in place of their parents, and their humility and manners were once again praised by the Female Official who delivered the decree.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Villa, lanterns were hung and banners were raised in a joyous celebration.

The Villa, empty for two years, finally welcomed its true young master. The eagerly waiting Palace Maids and Attendants were thrilled and spirited, looking forward to the arrival of the Little Prince.

**********

The Little Prince’s companions were to be chosen from among the academically outstanding children in nearby towns. These children will attend classes at the Imperial Villa, taught by the Female Official from the Imperial Court.

When this news broke, the entire Xuzhou erupted in excitement.

From the administrative offices to the influential elites, all were interested in sending their children to study alongside the Little Prince.

The Little Prince was intelligent and quick to learn, his literacy skills far outstripping children his age.

At Su Qingluo’s suggestion, The Little Prince’s study companions were selected from children aged seven to nine. These students needed to have a decent academic foundation, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to keep up with the Little Prince’s academic progress.

After glancing and ensuring Harvey had already retracted his fist, Lord Silver Coin stood up and with a smile said, “Lord Harvey, Great Sage, on behalf of Master Ange, I’m here to ask whether you would like to go back to Resting Camp?”

“Whether we return to Resting Camp or not, we can discuss that later. You stand up first, then summon your Divine Soul, and then punch me again.”
