Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 99 Special Approval from the City Lord!

"For me?" Bai Yuetian looked puzzled.

He's not very familiar with Jingnan.

Why is Jingnan looking for Mark? Is it because Mark pushed Jingnan away and prevented Jingnan from eating the breakfast specially provided by the city lord?

ummm
That's somewhat possible.

The city lord was eating too well. If he were in Jingnan's shoes, he might also feel a little resentful.

“Jingnan said you were very impolite to the city lord and was worried that something might have happened to you, so he asked me to go and check on you,” Mark replied.

Bai Yuetian was slightly taken aback.

Then he raised an eyebrow: "Then why don't you come to see me?"

“I think you know what’s important and won’t do anything reckless,” Mark said seriously.

Bai Yuetian laughed: "You trust me quite a bit."

Mark nodded slightly.

He looked at Vatican beside Bai Yuetian: "What's wrong with Lord He Guangzhe?"

Mark looked puzzled.

Since Vatican was promoted to Lightbringer, he has been surrounded by a group of priests every time he appears in front of people.

It's rare to see Vatican alone today.

“Charles had her come with me to spread the gospel of the Lord of Light and Shadow. It started yesterday afternoon. It’s quite convenient for her to show me the way,” Bai Yuetian replied casually.

Vatican remained silent, like a statue.

When she first started working with Bai Yuetian, she hadn't realized the special nature of this mission.

But just now, she saw with her own eyes that Bai Yuetian talked with the city lord for a long time early in the morning, and the city defense army even pushed their defensive positions outwards a lot because of their conversation.

She needs some time to adjust her emotions.

“Charles’s orders?” Mark was taken aback, and was also surprised by Vatican’s reaction.

Bai Yuetian nodded.

Mark frowned and said in a deep voice, "If you run into any trouble, you can come here to find me."

"Mm." Bai Yuetian nodded.

Mark changed the subject: "There's one more thing. I asked Jingnan to arrange a sparring partner position for you before, back when you were still a commoner."

“Now that you are a commoner, this position is no longer needed. Jingnan asked me if we should create this position?” he asked Bai Yuetian.

"Let me think about it." Bai Yuetian looked thoughtful.

Training partners – Hunters don’t need dedicated training partners at all; their companions are their best training partners.

This position was specially commissioned by Mark from Jingnan, with the aim of allowing him to enjoy the privileges of a commoner despite being a mortal.

He is now a citizen of the upper class and can enjoy preferential treatment without this position.

Logically speaking, this position shouldn't exist.

“I have a friend who’s a dust-person, and he’s quite clever.” Bai Yuetian paused for a moment. “Could I give this job to him?”

After a moment's thought, Mark replied, "Sure, but he really has to be a sparring partner, and he can't eat or live with us."

"What about his contribution points?" Bai Yuetian asked.

Mark laughed and said, "Being a sparring partner for a hunter is far more valuable than carrying heavy loads. The contribution points will be set at twice that of a carrying task for now. If he performs well, I can apply for more contribution points for him."

The common people toil hard every day, yet the contribution points they receive are less than a fraction of those of the hunters.

If Bai Yuetian's friend does an excellent job, he can add more contribution points. This is just a trivial matter for a dignified hunter commander, and there is no need to ask Jing Nan for help.

"I thank you on his behalf," Bai Yuetian nodded.

He plans to give this position to 4068.

4068 is a decent person. He and 4068 became friends after a fight. He went along with it and helped 4068 get the position. 4079 and 4277 also benefited. It was a win-win-win situation.

Mark waved his hand: "We're all friends!"

"Then I'll head back now," Bai Yuetian said.

Mark nodded, then watched Bai Yuetian leave.

Bai Yuetian's friends, though just ordinary mortals, must have some outstanding qualities to be valued by Bai Yuetian.

What a lucky guy!
After a while, Bai Yuetian led Fanti back to the mortal residential area.

He went straight to the outside of dormitory 0609.

"Could you wait for me outside?" Bai Yuetian asked Fanti.

Vatican paused for two seconds, then turned to face the railing. Although she didn't speak, she answered with her actions.

Bai Yuetian nodded in satisfaction: "Our relationship is starting to become more harmonious."

After saying that, he lifted the curtain outside dormitory 0609.

0609 is sitting inside.

A small pot sat before him, its water boiling, a dark, murky substance churning inside, its original form unrecognizable. 0609 stirred it occasionally with an iron spoon, a faint bitter smell filling the air.

Hearing the noise behind him, he turned around alertly.

Upon recognizing Bai Yuetian, he wore a complex expression, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"0609."

Bai Yuetian said with a smile, "I have some good news for you."

0609 opened his eyes wide, his voice trembling slightly: "What good news?"

Could it be——

"What other good news could it be?" Bai Yuetian pulled up a chair and sat down next to 0609. "I've already taken care of your matter. You just need to wait!"

Bai Yuetian looked at 0609's face.

Under his gaze, 0609's expression changed from surprise to joy in a very short time.

Bang!

0609 dropped the iron spoon in his hand to the ground.

"Really? Really?" 0609 stammered. "I'm old, don't lie to me!"

Bai Yuetian imitates 0609: "It's really true!"

0609 pursed her lips and remained silent.

A surge of emotions welled up in his eyes, condensing into glistening tears that streamed down his aged face.

"Thank you." 0609 was moved to tears.

"How old are you? Why are you crying so easily?" Bai Yuetian said with a look of disgust.

He patted 0609's arm: "Don't cry. Li An'an is willing to be with you too. Your good days are coming soon. Just wait for news at home."

"I don't know how to repay you," 0609 said excitedly.

He didn't know how Bai Yuetian had accomplished it, but he understood that it must have been very difficult.

When Morgan issued his Three Laws, almost everyone opposed them, which even caused a bloody storm at the Beacon Tower. But in the end, Morgan did not back down and firmly implemented the Three Laws.

The Three Laws are the foundation of the lighthouse.

Bai Yuetian must have made tremendous efforts and paid a heavy price to secure an exception from Morgan.

0609 was extremely moved.

He wished he could give his old life to Bai Yuetian!
Bai Yuetian smiled and said, "What can an old man like you do to repay me? Just try not to get too emotional, live a few more years, and add some humanity to this apocalypse. That would be the greatest repayment you could give me."

When Hisakawa was a police officer, he learned a lesson: some things are just a little trouble for him, but they are like a mountain to the person trapped in them.

Looking at 0609's expression, Bai Yuetian felt a faint sense of pleasure.

Gifts of roses, hand a fragrance.

Although it took some effort, he was genuinely happy to help 0609 out of its predicament.

"Bye-Bye!"

Bai Yuetian turned and left.

When I went to the clothes, I learned the name and the name.

He doesn't need 0609's thanks; he just needs 0609 to live well with his loved ones and not let down the argument he had with Morgan early that morning.

I won't tell 0609 the specific details, lest 0609 get too excited and reveal any flaws.

"1012 is such a good person."

0609 stayed alone in her room, wiping away tears, and it took her a long time to calm down.

At that moment, several priests burst into his room.

"You must be 0609?"

They filled the entire room to the brim.

0609 looked confused.

He answered cautiously, "I am 0609, gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

“0609, you’re too old,” said the leading priest.

"The city lord has granted you special permission to join the departure ceremony tomorrow afternoon. The Lighthouse thanks you for your long-term loyalty and dedication. From now on, you will not be carrying out any missions. Say goodbye to your friends properly."

He said in a gentler tone, "We'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, another priest brought out a tray with a neatly folded gray robe on it.

I?
A long journey?

Special approval from the city lord?

0609 stared blankly at the priest in front of him.
