Chapter 506: Reason

Despite cursing at the old man internally, Sage maintained a pleasant smile on his face and shook his head, I have no idea why this Little One could get the attention of such Great Persons, it is truly my honor.

The Patriarch laughed, So skilled and yet still humble. Very good! We called you here because of what youve done to Lionheart Town. You must know how impressive your changes are, how did you think of such things?

I was merely lucky, Sir.

While still smiling, the Patriarch seemed to lean back. Sage couldnt tell if he was satisfied, or thinking about something. At that same time, a middle-aged man with grey at his temples wearing dark green spoke up. He was one of the three sitting down, and he glared at Sage as if he smelled bad.

Why have you wasted so many resources on improving a whole city? Youve wasted so much time on useless mortals, yet you havent even given any of that good stuff to the Clan? You care more for mice than you do your family?

The lizard on the mans shoulder was staring at Sage like it wanted to eat him. Its mouth fell open and a long tongue was curling and licking against and between the gaps of its long spiked teeth. Sage was taken aback by the sudden assault after the Patriarch had been so kind. One of the men in the black centipede masks jumped in while Sage was still off balanced, No need to be so harsh, Xiyi Su. Children always like to care for small or weak things, they think them cute.

The ones in pale yellow were the ruling faction, Jinxi. They used the Golden Cricket, the namesake of this capital city. The songs of their Golden Crickets were legendary, both beautiful and deadly. In red, were the Xie Faction. Just as his friend Xiezi, they used tiny red winged scorpions, the Scarlet Winged Scorpion, as well as the Purple Backed Giant Scorpion, a huge tank sized beast with a terrifyingly thick carapace.

The rust orange faction were the Wa, and the warts they had gave them away. Their Immortal Three-Legged Toad was quite distinctive. It looked like a toad's large back legs were moved to replace its smaller front arms, and then only a single leg was left in the back and placed in the middle.

The last two factions were those he didnt have a good impression of, the dark green robed Xiyi and the lizards on their shoulders, as well as the Wu faction that wore dark brown robes along with their black centipede masks.

Xiyi had two signature partners, just like the Xie Faction, but they were more unusual in that they were actually only one beast. The Violent Union Lizard. Those smaller iguana-like lizards hed seen on their shoulders were the males of the species. Their feathers and the skin membranes between their limbs meant they were somewhat capable of flight and that large throat sac could swell up with poison for them to spit. The attendant also told him there was a female of the same species, one that didnt have as vibrant coloring but was larger than a horse and stood on two legs. From the description, Sage imagined a small Allosaurus or a huge Velociraptor, one that the Xiyi saddled and rode as mounts. Supposedly, they had a sort of mental link with their mate, so the Xiyi clan basically had two linked partners at a time.

Finally, the Wu were notorious for their use of Centipedes as equipment. Rather than one or two, they had over a dozen varieties of centipedes that they used like different weapons or armor, all of them poisonous. Sage was familiar with some of their means already so and he paid close attention to any information about them.

After leading Sage and Tujiu back to the room they stayed in previously, the attendant introduced herself. She was actually quite pretty and from the pale yellow of her outfit, it seemed she came from Jinxi, If you need anything else, just have this Jinxi Shi handle it for you. I stay in the courtyard next door to yours and the servants here have been instructed how to find me. Should I return tomorrow to take you on a tour around town?

Shes quite nice. Probably a spy.
