System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1157: Tradition Noel was quite surprised when they crossed the bustling street. Even though there were trades, they merely exchanged one thing for another.

There were also a lot of arenas between tents that were used by their warriors to fight each other.

Noel thought this would be what they used to negotiate with the buffalo king.

Still, even though the buffalo-people had a massive physical advantage, he noticed that they didn't have a lot of spiritual energy in their bodies.

"This is it," said Andreas while coming to a halt. Before them was a huge wooden house where the buffalo king resided. There were two guards, each of them was a spirit master. They were holding a huge axe with a long handle. Coupled with their muscular bodies, it increased the intensity of pressure they were emanating.

When they noticed Andreas, both of them immediately crossed their axes together to create a wall between Andreas and the door.

"Who are you?" One of them asked while glaring at them. Considering Noel and Anna covered their bodies and faces with long coats, they indeed looked suspicious.

However, Andreas didn't hide any part of his body. He simply took out a necklace that had a shell with a pair of swords on it.

"That's…" It seemed they had recognized the necklace.

"I am Andreas. I'm currently on an errand for the Prophet. I need to meet the buffalo king."

Both guards exchanged nods. One of them said, "Please wait. We'll inform—"

Before he finished his words, a voice came from the inside. "There's no need. I'm here."

A person suddenly emerged from the giant gate. This person was twice as tall as Noel and its head and feet were like buffalo, while its muscular body was that of a human.

Noel and Anna were quite surprised. Although their average height was above two meters, this was the biggest person he had met so far.

"I've heard a lot about you. Andreas, the adopted grandson of the prophet." The Buffalo King sniffed a few times before saying, "What do you want from me? Is the prophet's business related to those two?"

"The prophet asked me to bring them to him."

The Buffalo King squinted his eyes. "Then you should know about the tradition of my tribe, right?"

"I know. The person who wants to ask for help from the Buffalo tribe will need to fight in the arena with the person they requested."

"Indeed. So what's your request?"

"I want you to escort us personally to the sanctuary."

"Do you think you will be able to afford me?"

"Not me." Andreas shook his head before glancing back. "Them."

"Hoh?" The buffalo king squinted his eyes before saying, "That's fine with me. But you should know what it means to fail the challenge, right?"

"Don't worry. You won't win."

"I won't win?" The buffalo king harrumphed before stomping the ground.
