The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Chapter 456: The Local Boss's Work

It is obvious that the place only serves as a temporary detention center and cannot guarantee long-term safety.

If it goes on for more than two days, people will definitely start dying.

From this, it can be inferred that this Phoenix Legion will definitely make a big move within two days.

Moreover, this operation will definitely use this group of half-dead refugees, otherwise if they are left like this, they will die soon.

These dead refugees will breed plague and completely engulf the Phoenix Legion.

Of course, the premise for this situation is inaction within the legion. Generally speaking, such a legion that has experienced many battles and has a long history will have its own strict military discipline.

If you do nothing, it is highly unlikely that something will happen.

That's why Li Xuan was sure that this legion would take action soon.

However, Li Xuan currently doesn’t know the specific plans of the Phoenix Legion.

After he entered the city, he noticed a detail, that is, although some people in the city were more or less taken to the temporary detention center in the military camp.

But compared to the refugees outside, as long as they can produce valid identification, they can walk on the streets without worries.

Of course, even people with identification would involuntarily lower their heads to avoid meeting the eyes of soldiers patrolling the streets.

But even after reaching this conclusion, Li Xuan felt that he still had to wait a bit too long.

Moreover, during the day, he couldn't hide in the corners of the town like a rat in a gutter, where he couldn't even get the most basic information from the outside world.

He thought that this small border town was unlikely to have anyone with extraordinary perceptual talent.

But outside the city is the Golden Rooster Kingdom’s ace army. What if there is such a person among them?

Once his presence is noticed, he will definitely be labeled as a hostile force.

Then there is endless pursuit, which is the worst outcome.

Even if he is not afraid of any legion, showing his extraordinary power now will definitely lead to unknown consequences.

Therefore, Li Xuan planned to find a local tyrant to get a legitimate identity, so that at least he could walk on the streets and would not be caught by patrolling soldiers.

Soon after, he came to a small house at the end of an alley.

This is the office of the local bosses, and some things that cannot be made public are handled here.

Li Xuan had already changed into a black robe with a hood before entering. It not only concealed his figure and appearance, but also increased his sense of mystery, making communication easier.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom boom boom!

After giving the secret signal, Li Xuan stood outside, quietly waiting for the response from inside.

After a few seconds, the wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a bald old man emerged from the opening.

He looked Li Xuan up and down, then said unhappily, "Tsk! Another troublemaker..."

Li Xuan lowered his voice and said, "I heard that I can get a legal identity certificate here..."

The bald old man turned around and said, "Come with me, you guys are trouble. You used to disdain official identities, but now the Phoenix Legion has arrived, and you're all coming here like crazy to find us..."

Li Xuan followed the bald old man and walked into the small house.

The light in the small house was dim, and the weak flame of the oil lamp only illuminated the part of the area that belonged to it.

After walking a few steps, Li Xuan came to a wooden sofa.

The bald old man sat down directly, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan sat down opposite him and asked, "Can your ID cards here avoid being checked by the soldiers outside?"

The bald old man smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

He asked in return: "If our stuff is useless, why did you come here?"

Seeing that Li Xuan didn't answer, the bald old man continued, "Our identification is absolutely official. With the current situation, everyone knows that the kingdom is about to fall. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to make more money, how will we survive in the future?"

Li Xuan: "So, you are working with the people from City Hall?"

The bald old man: "As long as you understand."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of parchment and a pen, pushed them in front of Li Xuan, and said, "Write down your basic information and pay the deposit. Come back the next day to get your ID."

Li Xuan looked at the rough surface of the parchment and thought to himself, "It looks quite real. There are even special banknotes."

He casually filled in some identification information and then asked, "Do you know why the Phoenix Legion is stationed here? With them here, we have to be extremely careful even when we go out!"

The bald old man picked up the sheepskin and, while reading the contents on it, he said casually, "What else can we do? Isn't the legion born to fight?"

"Now is the moment of decisive battle. They are here to fight against the coalition forces."

Li Xuan said, as if to grumble, "So this army captured those refugees to use as bait?"

The bald old man said disdainfully, "Have you ever seen anyone use a bunch of inexperienced refugees as vanguards in a fight? They're nothing more than cannon fodder at best!"

Li Xuan suddenly sighed, "From this perspective, the Golden Rooster Kingdom truly has no humanity at all. They don't even spare the lives of ordinary people. They've lost the land they depend on for survival, and are now being deprived of their last life by their own country."

The bald old man snorted coldly, his tone full of dissatisfaction with the Golden Rooster Kingdom: "The country now is controlled by the church. Theocracy is higher than royal power, and even the king is just a puppet of the Pope."

"Even if I tell you, you won't understand!"

Li Xuan said calmly: "God War?"

The bald old man was slightly stunned when he was packing up. Then he looked at Li Xuan with deep eyes and said in surprise: "It seems that you know a lot of things. You even know the truth behind this war!"

Li Xuan laughed and said, "Is this really a secret? If even a local tyrant like you knows this secret, isn't it already a public fact?"

The bald old man shook his head helplessly and said in a long voice: "Alas! It really is the world of young people now. It's time for an old man like me to retire."

Seeing this, Li Xuan realized that this old man seemed to be some hidden boss, otherwise he would not have made such an exclamation.

So he asked, "It seems you were quite famous in the past. Could you tell me a little bit about that?"

The bald old man refused without hesitation: "No, almost all the people who knew me are dead. Even if you young people of the new generation know my name, it is meaningless. Let my past deeds be lost in the tide of history!"

Li Xuan: …

Li Xuan really has no interest in understanding anything about the ordinary people in this world.

But this kind of old senior definitely knows a lot, and might have some information he needs.
