Chapter 141: Alarm

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

On the first day of the holiday, it was a sunny day. The weather was very good, and the warm sunlight shone on the earth.

The capital of the Illumination Empire was located in the south of the runic world. The main crop was rice.

At the end of September and the beginning of October, the rice harvest had been completed. It was now the end of April, but that did not mean that there was nothing going on in the farmland.

Lugh stood at the window and watched the residents of the small town walk out of the town one after another.

There were young and old, big and small, men and women. As long as there was labor force, they would be sent out to work outside the town.

Working outside the town was risky, but for the sake of food and to fill their stomachs, there was nothing they could do.

Hestia originally wanted to bring Xu Xiaoxiao out to work, but she was stopped by Lugh.

Even Xu Dahai was puzzled by Lugh’s behavior.

“Child, why are you stopping me?”

“That’s right. Lugh, what’s the matter?”

“Aunty, it’s not safe for you to go out with Xiaoxiao,” Lugh said. “I heard from Dahai that every time you go out, you’re always very afraid, but you’re too embarrassed to say it out loud.”

Hestia glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao, but sighed helplessly. “Of course I know, but if we don’t farm, what are we going to eat?”

Lugh smiled. He took out a bag of heavy gold coins from the runic space and handed them to Hestia. “These gold coins will be enough for you to live for a long time.”

In the rune world, gold coins were the currency of the Nine Great Empires. Other than that, all kinds of treasures and beast essence crystals also had purchasing power.

In Lugh’s rune space, gold coins were piled up like a mountain.

“This?”

Everyone stared at Lugh with their mouths agape.

Especially Xu Dahai. His mouth was wide open.

He had always thought that Lugh was a commoner like him.

But Lugh had taken out such a large bag of gold coins?

This was still a commoner?

Your family’s commoner also had so many gold coins.

“This isn’t suitable! How can I take your gold coins?”

Although the gold coins were tempting, Hestia did not accept it. Instead, she waved her hand to express her rejection.

“Aunty, please accept it. I am not lacking in gold coins. Moreover, Dahai and I are good friends. It is only right for me to do all these.”

Lugh turned to Xu Dahai and said, “Dahai, I am not from the Nine Great Empires. I am from the Heavenly Battlefield. However, no matter who I am or what my identity is, we are good friends.”

Xu Dahai was a good person. He was also very pure-hearted.

In a sense, he was kinder than Rexton and the others.

The first time they met, Xu Dahai had been protecting him. When Lugh was choosing the Divine Beast eggs, he had said that if his divine pet was not good, he would help him capture another Divine Beast.

So Lugh decided to make this friend.

As for friends, Lugh had always been very generous. It was just a bag of gold coins.

In the future, when Xu Dahai began to improve his runic cultivation, there were still many treasures in his rune space that could be helpful to his runic cultivation. He could give them all to him.

However, Lugh did not give too many gold coins. These gold coins were enough for his family to live for a long time.

He could have them move to the capital of the Illumination Empire right now, but this was not a good thing for Xu Dahai.

Xu Dahai had always dreamed of having his family move to the city. If he directly asked them to move to the city or gave them a large amount of gold coins, then Xu Dahai’s feelings for him would change.

That would become gratitude and respect. It would no longer be a simple friendship.

This was something that Lugh did not want to see.

Moreover, Xu Dahai’s family would definitely not accept such a large amount of gold coins. However, he could still accept this bag of gold coins.

Looking at Lugh’s sincere gaze, Xu Dahai’s lips moved. He wanted to say something but hesitated. “Lugh, you...”

Lugh patted Xu Dahai’s shoulder and laughed softly. “We’re all brothers. There’s no need to stand on ceremony. It’s also a token of my goodwill.”

“Okay.”

Xu Dahai looked deeply at Lugh. His heart was pounding violently. Then, he nodded heavily.

He would remember this favor.

“Mom, you can take it. This is Lugh’s goodwill,” Xu Dahai said to his mother.

“Yes, Aunty. I am Dahai’s friend. You are also my family.”

Lugh revealed a sincere smile.

In his heart, he had indeed treated Xu Dahai’s family as his own family.

“Alright. Thank you, Lugh!”

Hestia accepted the bag of gold coins.

Her eyes were slightly moist.

At three in the afternoon, Lugh and Xu Dahai sat comfortably on the chairs on the balcony. Their long legs were placed on the railing, and they felt drowsy.

The afternoon sun made people drowsy.

Beside him was a small square table. On the table was the flower tea that Xu Xiaoxiao had brewed for them.

At this moment, a low and ear-piercing alarm sounded.

Beep!

Beep!

Beep!

Lugh and Xu Dahai flipped over and jumped up from the chairs.

Soon, Hestia and Xu Xiaoxiao, who were at home, also ran to the balcony.

Hestia said, “This is a level-2 alarm, second only to a level-1 prevention alarm. The danger comes from the sky. We have to go to the air raid shelter to hide. It’s the safest place.”

Hestia was about to take them downstairs, but Lugh and Xu Dahai didn’t move.

“Son, Lugh, let’s go!”

Lugh and Xu Dahai looked at each other.

“Mom!”

“Aunty!”

“We are Rune Makers and Beast Masters. According to the rules of the Nine Empires, once a level-2 alarm is sounded, as long as you are a Beast Master, a Rune Master from another department, or some wild adventurer, you must join the defense team nearby!”

Tears flowed down Hestia’s face!

“Mom, Sister, you guys go to the bomb shelter!”

“Dahai, Lugh, you must come back alive! Don’t try to be brave!”

“Don’t worry, Aunty.”
