The Geared Immortal

Chapter 738

(Unedited)

…

Yoshi Kiwazo is a close acquaintance of Gabriel Osmond\'s family. His dad, Fallion Osmond, is a blood brother of Yoshi Kiwazo. The two fought side by side a few hundreds of years ago against a group of demons who appear from the borders of the Osmond clan.

This friendship was formed through tacit understanding and trust in each other as they face danger and lived through it without dying even once.

The two have respected and esteemed each other\'s strength and loyalty. And so the two became blood brothers and Yoshi Kiwazo has been leading the younger generations of his friend Fallion as he himself doesn\'t have any blood relatives in the immortal land.

And so he treats the sons and daughters of Fallion as his own.

Seeing Gabriel entering the room with a guest, Yoshi Kiwazo showed a faint smile and waves his hand while gesturing the young man to take a seat.

"Uncle, when did you return?" Gabriel excitedly said as he sat down on the wooden chair on the side of the table.

"Just a couple of hours ago. Your father was held by the clan master and is discussing something important… you seem to have found a new friend, this is rare…" Yoshi said while taking a glance at Shin Jiao who also takes his seat on the opposite side of Gabriel.

"Ah… yes, uncle Yoshi, this is my new friend Master Si Ji… we just met a while ago and I feel like he is a good person, so I befriend him."

The simple answer of Gabriel made Shin Jiao feel that Gabriel seems to judge people according to how they resonate with his feelings. This made him think twice about his assessment of the young man.

"Oh, I see… Well, where did young master Si Ji came from if I may ask?" Yoshi asked with a slight smile on his face while he put down the brush on his hand.

"I\'m from the town of Gipard. I was sent here as a part of the escort…" Shin Jiao said.

"Yes, he escorted Alea Zin…" Gabriel added with a smile.

Upon hearing those words, Yoshi suddenly turned silent, and as if in deep thinking, he suddenly turned his eyes on Shin Jiao and scrutinizes him.

"Hmm… Si Ji… so it must be you…" Yoshi muttered.

Hearing his words, Gabriel showed a faint trace of curiosity about what his uncle is saying.

"Master Si Ji, I receive a message from my friend Ryujin Osmond. He talks about a brilliant young man who made a lot of those things he called \'gadgets\'… he prattles about you in his message, but I guess he feels fond of you and that you could be of help in this war."

Hearing his words, Shin Jiao knew that High Lord Ryujin might have already told the higher-ups of the Osmond clan about him. But he did not mind if he could help, why not? The fate of the human race is at stake. If he could offer his help, then he would.

"Ah, yes… I was somewhat able to help with the town\'s defense… if was just a little help though…" Shin Jiao said humbly.

"Haha… Humble and not overbearing, I like you… As he said, you dare not be boastful of your accomplishments, you young man is a rare breed. Anyway, this is my luck to have met you. Would you be so kind to accompany me?" Yoshi said with a smile.

The tone of his uncle and the conversation between the two has already dumbfounded Gabriel and he was left speechless. He did not know what to say at this moment as he did not expect his uncle to be this accommodating to his new friend.

As the two left, Gabriel followed behind.

When he saw where they are heading, Gabriel\'s heart skipped a beat.

"This is the sacred room of the family. Only father and uncle are allowed to go here. What is happening? Who is Master Si Ji?" he thought as he followed.

"Gabriel, I think it\'s time for you to also enter this place. Since your older brother has already seen this, now it\'s your turn." Yoshi Kiwazo said as he extended his palm and the door opens.

Inside the door, there stood four guards wearing different clothes. When Gabriel saw those people, he felt his mind going blank. Even Shin Jiao on the side is also dumbfounded.

This is because those four people are actually high lords. Four high lords are left guarding this place, so it only means one thing; the things inside this place are precious for the family.

"Greeting High Lords…" Gabriel did not hesitate as he was able to immediately recover from his stupor.

Seeing the 2nd young master of the house greeting them, the four high lords showed a pleased expression on their faces.

Shin Jiao on the other hand did the same posture but did not say anything.

"Guys… this is the young man that Ryujin was telling us about… The young master Si Ji." Yoshi said with a smile.

Everyone in the room suddenly showed a surprised expression. They know the truth; they knew how important this seemingly ordinary cloth young man is. He might be the one holding the key in winning this war, but of course, that is the secret of the council of the clan. Only a few high lords and saint rulers knew that secret.

And now, this same young man is now in their household, how lucky could they be?

Because of this, the four high lords could not contain their excitement as they showed smiles on their faces.

The group then enters a room where they began to input the secret keys that each of them holds. When the door in that room opens, Shin Jiao saw a large hall filled with different kinds of artifacts and treasures that are piled like a small mountain.

He could feel the energy core and the pills inside the room emanating a strong and rich aura. And this greatly baffled and amazed Shin Jiao.

"Your family is really big and powerful…" Shin Jiao whispered beside Gabriel.

However, he noticed that Gabriel himself is already drowned in astonishment as his mouth is wide open.

The five high lords around the two showed a faint smile on their faces. Though this room contains many treasures, as high lords, only a few items inside this room is of value to them.

"Young master Si Ji… I took you to this room, for one purpose only. I will not lie to you. When I heard your name and saw you, I realize that our family has been given a great opportunity to be visited by a great craftsman. On behalf of the Osmond family, I Yoshi Kiwazo, would like to request master Si Ji to help us in this war. You can pick anything you want in this treasure room as a reward."

Hearing his words, Gabriel on the side was suddenly taken aback. He showed an incredulous expression as he looks at Shin Jiao and the five people in the room. He was really clueless about what is happening right now.

Shin Jiao on the other hand just gave a polite smile as he has already scanned the room. There are things that caught his attention, but he needs to learn more about what this family is planning before deciding.

…

Inside a large room, a few people are gathered sitting around a long rectangular table. Among them is a tall man wearing a dark blue robe. His manner looks grand and his temperament calm. He is the head of this Osmond family, Fallion Osmond, the youngest brother of the current Osmond clan patriarch.

Though Fallion Osmond is the youngest of all the siblings of the current head, his strength has greatly contributed to the growth of the Osmond clan.

Right now, he was truly surprised to discover that in the family, the said craftsman that helped defend the Gipard town has currently visited. And it seems that his 2nd son is a friend of this craftsman. So he did not delay and wanted to meet this famous person within the higher-ups of the clan.

He needed to confirm if what high lord Ryujin Osmond said is true. If it is, then he would immediately take this talented young man to the head. This way, they could ask for his help in the war. This is true, especially to the fallen fortresses.

They needed help in taking it back and drive away from the combined enemy armies.

"Young Master Si Ji… it came to my attention that you have decided to help us, right?" Fallion Osmond said with a serious expression on his face.

Shin Jiao who is among the people in the room nodded his head.

"I am willing to do my part as a member of the human race… However… my lord, I am but one person. I don\'t know how could I be of service?"

His words made everyone in the room smile. They already knew that this young man is not some haughty young master, but true talent and very low-key. So they expected such an answer.

"Well, I would like to propose a suggestion first," Fallion said as he suddenly takes out something from his spatial ring.

What came out of the ring is a long sword with delicate craftsmanship and a powerful aura emanating from it. When Shin Jiao saw the sword, he was a bit stunned as he knew that this sword is not just a simple sword.

"A half step divine weapon…" Shin Jiao muttered.
