The financial manager''s expression froze for a moment, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face. Looking at Chen Yue, he couldn''t quite figure him out. To dare to stand out at this time...
He moved closer to the manager and added in a low voice, "He''s just a commoner."
The financial manager''s eyes lit up, and his small eyes narrowed into slits. "Arrest him and hand him over to Lord Gamor to deal with."
His eyes swept over Ling Yue''er, who was standing gracefully to one side. Gamor''s heart couldn''t help but burn with desire. Swallowing his saliva, he couldn''t wait to point at Ling Yue''er and said, "And her. She''s my maid and was tricked away by this kid."
However, at this point, he could only bite the bullet and continue acting along. And the "fact" that Chen Yue was just a commoner made him feel more at ease.
Ling Yue''er moved closer to Chen Yue in fear.
Chen Yue comforted her by patting her on the back and took the Frozen Rabbit from her arms. He was full of confidence. He understood the power of class thoroughly. After becoming a true apostle, Gamor, who used to be so high and mighty, was no longer in his eyes.
If Gamor had behaved himself and stopped causing trouble, Chen Yue wouldn''t have been interested in suppressing such a small figure. However, being provoked and not fighting back was not Chen Yue''s style. Moreover, Gamor had tried to have improper intentions towards Ling Yue''er.
Holding the Frozen Rabbit levelly, Chen Yue looked at the financial manager and said, "Open your eyes wide and see what this is."
Everyone''s eyes immediately focused on the Frozen Rabbit.
"A magical beast." Gamor was stunned, and then, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he burst out laughing loudly and unrestrainedly, "Do you think you can threaten us with this magical beast that you don''t even know where you got it from?"
The laughter spread far away and sounded extremely harsh in everyone''s ears.
The people in the merchant caravan had been aroused with hope by this turn of events, but with what Gamor said, their hearts sank to the bottom again.
However, the financial manager surprisingly didn''t laugh along. Unlike Gamor and the people in the caravan, he hadn''t formed a fixed opinion about Chen Yue. And the mysterious smile on Chen Yue''s face made him feel a chill in his heart.
Pulling hard at the clerk beside him who was laughing exaggeratedly, the financial manager said in a low voice, "Calm down. Perhaps, the situation has changed..."
Still wearing a faint smile on his face, Chen Yue seemed not to have heard Gamor''s sarcastic laughter. His fingers calmly stroked the soft body of the Frozen Rabbit, and he whispered a few words.
In the next moment, two halos suddenly lit up around the Frozen Rabbit. One blue and icy halo rotated clockwise, and the other rotated counterclockwise at a slow and steady speed. As the halos rotated, there was a faint sound of ice cubes rolling and rubbing, making people feel as if they were in a world of ice and snow, freezing to the bone.
The coldness instantly spread out.
The laughter seemed to be suddenly choked in the throat and stopped abruptly.
"A... familiar spirit." At this moment, the financial manager felt his teeth trembling. Looking at Nord, who had already fainted on the ground, he suddenly felt extremely envious...
The words "familiar spirit" were like a magic spell and spread to every corner of the camp. Everyone stared blankly at Chen Yue, who looked as calm as water, still doubting in their minds whether they had heard it wrong.
The people in the caravan felt as if they were dreaming.
The financial manager really hoped it was just a dream. He wished he could faint immediately and pretend that nothing had happened and that he had never been here. But that was impossible...
Apostles were the privileged class among the privileged classes. Magicians of the same level were nothing in front of them. Moreover, looking at that familiar spirit, it actually had two life halos, which represented that it was a two-star familiar spirit. Judging from the young man''s appearance, he seemed to have just become an apostle. To be able to successfully summon a two-star familiar spirit just after taking office, even the city lord would have to be respectful in front of such a person.
What had he done... The financial manager glared fiercely at Gamor, wishing he could strangle this idiot immediately and hit himself with a stick.
Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work!"Impossible. This is impossible." Gamor cried out in disbelief, his voice sharp and hurried, like a chicken or duck with its throat suddenly clamped.
He had originally thought that Chen Yue was just an ordinary commoner and that he could easily make his life a living hell with just a flip of his hand. But in the end, he found out that he was the real small fry.
"An illusion. It must be an illusion." Muttering some incoherent words, Gamor suddenly had a flash of madness in his eyes.
A wave of magic power suddenly surged. The two ears of the Frozen Rabbit, which had been lying lazily in Chen Yue''s hand, suddenly stood up. Its beautiful ruby-like eyes stared fixedly at Gamor.
"Fireball."
A burning fireball instantly rose up one meter in front of Gamor and flew quickly towards Chen Yue.
"Oh no."
"Gu gu." Just when the fireball was only a few meters away from Chen Yue, the Frozen Rabbit suddenly chirped softly twice. It opened its mouth, and a white column of air burst out. The small fireball was like a match falling into water in front of the white column of air and disappeared in an instant.
The white column of air didn''t stop. Before everyone could react, it hit Gamor, and dense layers of ice immediately appeared on Gamor''s body. Soon, an ice sculpture appeared in front of everyone.
The financial manager nodded knowingly. He understood in his heart that the reputation of a high-level creature was not for nothing. Although after being summoned from the spirit world, no matter how powerful a familiar spirit was, its level would be suppressed to the first order and could only increase its rank as its strength grew continuously. However, the strength of a familiar spirit was not calculated only by its rank but also by its star level. Take the Frozen Rabbit as an example. The maximum strength it could currently display was the continent''s rank plus its star level, which was the strength of the third order. Gamor used a first-order magic spell to deal with it. That was just asking for death.
What happened next was simple. With Chen Yue''s sudden appearance, the financial manager wouldn''t dare to make any more mistakes even if he had the courage. While busy treating Gamor, he kept apologizing and promised to handle things strictly in accordance with the laws of the empire and exempt the caravan from all taxes.
Regarding this, Chen Yue didn''t say yes or no. After being forced to reveal his identity, Chen Yue had the intention to leave. One could imagine how awkward it would be for him to stay in the caravan in the following days.
The Apostle Association. As soon as these four words entered his ears, Chen Yue''s eyes lit up.
On the continent, the status of apostles was transcendent. Unlike magicians and fighters who were still bound by their respective countries, once one became an apostle, they automatically gave up their nationality of the original country, didn''t need to bear any obligations, and could enjoy the preferential treatment of any country.
All of this was based on powerful martial strength, and the Apostle Association was this ultimate martial force.
The Apostle Continent was vast and boundless, and the number of countries was as numerous as the stars in the sky. The large ones covered hundreds of millions of square kilometers, while the small ones were only about a hundred square kilometers. They were divided into seven levels according to the country''s level.
The Apostle Association had branches in countries above level two. There was only one branch in each country, and the scale of the branch was set according to the size and strength of these countries. The more powerful the country, the larger the scale of the Apostle Association within it.
The Tianye Empire was located in the eastern part of the Apostle Continent and was only a fourth-level empire. However, in terms of land area, it was no less than China on Earth, and its population was as many as one billion.

每个使徒都可以加入他们国家的使徒协会。只有被协会认可并授予徽章的使徒才是真正的使徒,才能享受到极其优越的待遇。
陈玥对自己的处境非常清楚。
他当时还没有得到使徒协会的认可,所以他无法享受大部分的权利和待遇,也无法得到使徒协会的保护。以他现在的实力,可以在很多地方肆无忌惮地行动。再加上使徒的高贵地位,没有多少人敢得罪他。
但这足够吗?
陈月知道,这个世界上有无数强大的人,比他更强大的人也很多。没有使徒协会的支持,别人跟他打交道的时候,会少一些顾忌。超凡的地位与强大的力量有关。他的旅程才刚刚开始。
而且,他不知道如何提升等级,如何提升冰冻兔的等级,对生命光环的能力和使徒的能力完全困惑。对于渴望变强的陈月来说,这是难以忍受的。像 Chia City 这样的地方,对他来说只能是临时的停留。没有人能回答他的问题。使徒协会应该是他的舞台。只有在那里,他才能找到成为强者的方法。
考虑到光脑还需要很长时间才能恢复,这是他心无旁骛地探索使徒能力的好时机。终于,陈月下定了决心。
无奈地告别了凌月儿,约定在自由之都再次相见后,陈月骑着飞兽,第二天离开了嘉城,朝着天野帝国的第一座城市——自由之都飞去。
