Capítulo 1084: Chapter 141: Republic Leader

After discussing the matter of source gold, Augustus and the others left.

In the room, only Xu Mo and Zero remained.

“How’s the Book of Enlightenment?” Xu Mo asked Zero.

Zero had a peculiar expression as she looked at Xu Mo. “I can’t take it out.”

The Book of Enlightenment had merged into her mind. She wanted to take it out and cultivate with Xu Mo, but she couldn’t; it was stuck.

Xu Mo showed a thoughtful expression, considering that Zero was likely a descendant of the Old Imperial Lin family, hence the Book of Enlightenment perfectly matched her, merging into her mind as if it had found an heir.

This might have been a contingency set up by the Old Imperial family during the collapse of the Silver Star Empire.

“Xu Mo…” Zero looked up, her eyes gazing at Xu Mo.

“Hmm?” Xu Mo also looked at Zero.

“Why did the Book of Enlightenment choose me?” Zero asked softly, feeling puzzled about her lineage after the series of events at the Empire Trial Field.

She had never thought about this before, but in the Empire Trial Field, she unexpectedly felt familiar with the Holy Land Gate, and then the Book of Enlightenment chose her. What could be the reason?

“Because you’re beautiful,” Xu Mo replied, trying to lighten the topic to avoid stressing Zero too much.

Zero ignored Xu Mo’s ‘humor,’ her beautiful eyes still fixed on him.

“Am I possibly a Lin?” Zero asked softly.

Xu Mo looked at her, realizing Zero had guessed some clues.

“I don’t know,” Xu Mo shook his head, “Don’t think about it now, focus on cultivating the Book of Enlightenment to improve your skills. Don’t reveal this to anyone else besides the two of us. Ask your mom and Master Qiong when you meet them later.”

Zero was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, as if that’s all she could do for now.

“Haven’t had a comfortable sleep in a long time,” Xu Mo stretched lazily.

Zero suddenly watched him warily.

“I just want to simply hold you while sleeping,” Xu Mo said.

Zero looked at Xu Mo with suspicion, but still nodded quietly.

“Good girl.” The cunning Xu Mo pulled Zero to lie on the comfortable large bed, holding her purely for sleep. Soon, Xu Mo really fell asleep. Over these three years, he finally returned to the Mystic God Temple, and affairs at the Empire Trial Field were basically settled, allowing him to relax and quickly fall into slumber.

However, as Xu Mo slept, like an octopus, his hand unwittingly or intentionally, rested on some special part of Zero, while a foot was also draped over her long legs.

He felt very comfortable, while the wakeful Zero felt quite awkward, her eyes remained open, glancing at Xu Mo’s hand, blinking her eyes, then slightly turning her head to the side to see Xu Mo, noticing he was already snoring.

The gentle Zero, unwilling to disturb Xu Mo, just slept like that.

After a comfortable sleep, the next day Xu Mo and the others quietly left the Mystic God Temple, went to the Imperial First Bank and stored the source gold in the bank’s safe deposit box, requiring a certain amount of payment, which was of no concern to them naturally.

After settling it, Xu Mo also felt at ease, returning to the Mystic God Temple to immerse himself in cultivation, consolidating the gains acquired at the Empire Trial Field.

Meanwhile, the O’Brian family held a funeral for Heath O’Brien, but it didn’t cause a big stir, and the news didn’t spread widely, remaining confined within the O’Brian family without being known to the outside populace.

After all, the fact that the son of the Republic Leader was killed by the Kelles Empire Prince wasn’t exactly a proud affair.

After hosting Heath O’Brien’s funeral, news came from the Mystic God Temple that the leader of the O’Brian Republic wanted to meet the Transcendents who had accompanied Heath O’Brien to the Empire Trial Field.

This news stirred quite a commotion in the Mystic God Temple.

Especially among those Transcendents who had returned from the Empire Trial Field, there was a ripple of concern; was the Republic Leader wanting to settle accounts with them?

Many were reluctant to go, since the Republic Leader is Heath’s father, and with his son dying at the Empire Trial Field, what he might do in his legendary anger wasn’t something they could afford.

At this time, many people were gathered together in the Mystic God Temple.

“I’ll go,” Proto said, “I’m the most responsible for this matter. If Leader Osman decides to punish someone, I’ll take it.”

Osman O’Brien is the name of the leader of the O’Brian Republic.

“I’ll go with you too,” many from the Mystic God Temple headquarters stood up and expressed willingness to accompany.

“Osman is a legendary figure; he’s unlikely to vent his anger on us,” someone analyzed.

But even so, the person who died was the leader’s son, after all.

“I will go with you.” At this moment, a striking figure walked over—it was Vera O’Brien. She had also been at the family these past few days, and upon returning to the Mystic God Temple, she heard that her father was going to meet the Mystics of the Temple, so she came over.

Her father, as the Republic Leader, always had inscrutable thoughts, even she didn’t know what he was thinking.

But to avoid some things, she will go together with the Mystics of the Temples.

Xu Mo and Zero were also here, this Miss Vera cultivated at the Temple, and has shown some favor towards the Temple, from her previous performance on the Warship, and now, Vera O’Brien is quite admirable, much better than Heath O’Brien.

At this moment, an elder from the Mystic God Temple arrived and spoke to the people: “Since the leader wishes to meet you, then go and meet him—it is a rare opportunity to seek guidance from him.”

Everyone looked at this elder from the Temple headquarters, feeling somewhat relieved, since he had personally come forward, it meant he had a plan, and this trip should not involve any issues.

Even if the Republic Leader is enraged, it should not be to the point where he openly confronts the Mystics of the Temple; doing so would seem ungracious and unfitting for a leader’s identity.

Moreover, if he were to act against the Mystics of the Temple, it would mean a complete break with the Temple.

Everyone here are the most outstanding younger members of the Temple.

Everyone nodded, agreeing to go.

The group got ready, with Vera O’Brien leading them forward.

Xu Mo and Zero also followed among the crowd.

The place chosen for the Republic Leader’s meeting with them this time was the O’Brian family; Heath O’Brien had no political identity in the Republic, this matter could only be regarded as a family affair of the O’Brien family, and could not be handled on the Republic level.

At the moment, in front of a magnificent hall of the O’Brian family, the Mystic God Temple’s flying device directly reached the outskirts, then landed. The group looked up ahead, all feeling a sense of solemnity.

The Mystics of the Temple present were all considered younger generation, few had personally met the legendary leader.

The group climbed the steps, a tall figure stood outside the door, that Xu Mo had seen before, Ares O’Brien, the eldest son of the Republic Leader.

“Vera,” Ares O’Brien called out.

“Is father inside?” Vera O’Brien asked.

“Yes.” Ares nodded, “Follow me in.”

He said as he turned and led the way inside.

There were quite a few people in the hall, all core members of the O’Brien family, including elders and children of Osman, their eyes fell on the people of the Temple.

And at the front, a figure sat there.

Seeing the people of the Temple arriving, that figure stood up, towering at 1.9 meters, quite tall, square-faced, with sharp edges, like carved from stone, possessing an invisible dignity.

He walked down step by step, the people of the Temple halted, stood there watching that leader’s figure coming down, they all felt an inexplicable pressure, which belonged to the aura of the O’Brien Republic Leader.

In fact, many couldn’t help but lower their heads, not daring to look directly ahead.

Xu Mo stood among the crowd, looking at this Republic Leader, merely that aura possessed was a pressure unique to those in high positions.

Osman O’Brien, founder of the O’Brien family, a legend of the O’Brien Republic, ruling countless populations.

He came before the people of the Temple and spoke: “Bestow gifts.”

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it echoed in the hall, immediately from both directions, soldiers came forward, holding gifts, coming to the people of the Temple to present them.

Moreover, everyone received one.

The Mystics of the Temple looked up, somewhat astonished at this legendary figure of the Republic.

Only Osman O’Brien spoke: “This journey to the Empire Trial Field is at the invitation of the Republic, all of you are talented Mystics of the Temple, accompanying Heath to fight hard at the Empire Trial Field, suffered heavy losses, many fell within, never to return, the O’Brien family will compensate their families, the medals and gifts before you are rewards for all of you Heroes, thanking your contributions and brave battles against the Fake Empire people.”

The Mystics of the Temple were somewhat astonished, their hearts stirring, extremely unsettled.

They had come expecting difficulty, even danger, but did not expect instead to be rewarded, this contrast seemed somewhat unreal.

“Heath’s incompetence implicated all of you, for this I feel sorry, had I known, I would never have allowed him to enter the Empire Trial Field,” the leader continued to speak: “None of you are under Heath’s command, nor are you soldiers of the Republic, but in the most dangerous moments, you still fought bravely, regardless of life or death, this courage alone deserves respect, all of you will be the future of the O’Brien Republic.”

“Who is Xu Mo?” Osman O’Brien asked.

Xu Mo froze, looking forward, speaking: “Leader, I am.”

Osman looked beside him, and someone presented another gift box, Osman walked forward, and everyone made way.

Osman came to Xu Mo, took out a medal from the gift box, and placed it on Xu Mo: “I have heard about your deeds at the Empire Trial Field, as a father, I thank you for retrieving Heath’s head, as a leader of the Republic, I thank you for bravely killing enemies on the battlefield, scaring the people of Kales Empire, this Republic Brave Medal is a testimony of honor.”
