Chapter 782: Chapter 442: Chicken_1

The priest smiled and chatted with Tosido, "Which kids do you think will win?"

Tosido said, "These people were trained by you, you should know them better than I do."

However, the priest shook his head, "These little fellows, many come from prominent families, and though young, their thoughts run deep. Although Alonni, Parson, and Vegas have been leading since they started training, I always feel that someone is hiding their prowess. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are not the first to find the Traceless Mouse."

Tosido laughed and pointed in a certain direction, "You are right, look, this is a fellow hiding his skills."

Tosido pointed ahead, firelight burning and spreading, revealing a silhouette amidst the blaze.

It was a young prodigy of the Red Race. The priest remembered that his name was "Vegas." He ran into an open courtyard, looked around, and then held aloft a Divine Artifact in both hands.

It was an ancient and crudely made wooden carving of a bizarre beast, with a bared mouth, a turned-out nose, and mismatched eyes. The larger eye was wide open, while the smaller eye was closed.

Vegas opened a door in the courtyard and found five or six people chained inside. When he opened the door, they screamed in terror, but Vegas didn’t care. He grabbed one of the people and forcefully pressed the wooden carving against their face.

The wooden carving opened its mouth wide and bit down. The person was unharmed but quickly withered. His soul had been sacrificed by Vegas to the wooden carving!

Tosido and the priest were not surprised because many Divine Artifacts required live sacrifices, and they didn’t care about the life and death of the Lester people who had been imprisoned.

After receiving its offering, the wooden carving became lively and slowly opened its closed eye. It spotted some traces of the soul level, and Vegas immediately followed the wooden carving’s guidance to track it down.

At this time, Parson and Alonni were still searching for traces of the Traceless Mouse, and their progress was much slower than Vegas’s.

"That Sanni..." Tosido was a little puzzled, "He’s lagging too far behind."

Sanni was truly at a loss, running aimlessly through the city. He possessed the Power of Four Mountains but didn’t know how to use it properly. Tosido glanced at him and didn’t pay any more attention.

Tosido had a constant sense of the location of the Traceless Mouse. In his field of view, Alonni, Parson, Vegas, and two other young prodigies were slowly but surely approaching the Traceless Mouse.

However, at this point, Alonni and Vegas held the lead. The Traceless Mouse was chosen by the Fourth Tribunal Lord as a test subject because it had unique advantages. After Alonni and Vegas got within 1000 meters, the mouse seemed to suddenly become aware of the danger and bolted from its hiding place, quickly relocating somewhere else.

Alonni and Vegas arrived at the first hiding spot one after the other, but they couldn’t find the Traceless Mouse, and both showed expressions of annoyance. They had no choice but to continue tracking.

Just then, the priest’s eyes widened in astonishment. Tosido looked at him curiously, and the priest pointed down, saying, "This kid is so lucky."

Tosido was taken aback and looked down, only to see Sanni standing in a small alley, grinning and holding the tail of the Traceless Mouse with one hand. The mouse was squeaking and trembling, but it couldn’t escape.

Tosido was speechless. The Traceless Mouse, in its attempt to evade Alonni and Vegas, happened to pass right by Sanni’s position!

After all, Sanni had the Power of Four Mountains and easily captured the mouse...

It was said that the Traceless Mouse had a keen intuition for danger, but apparently, it didn’t notice Sanni and just delivered itself to him. Maybe it was because... Sanni didn’t pose a threat to the Traceless Mouse, so he ended up benefiting from the situation?

"What should we do now?" the priest fretted.

Tosido hesitated for a long time before sighing, "Sanni is the winner. This is the assessment set by the Fourth Tribunal Lord, and we can only go by the result."

Only Lord Liam knew that tracking wasn’t necessary because the Wood Dynasty had various divination techniques. Neither Lord Liam nor the priest was particularly skilled, and they temporarily borrowed the techniques from Lord Liam to calculate. They tried to calculate the Power of Athena but encountered significant deviations, but the Traceless Mouse was too weak, so they got an accurate result.

Sanni didn’t plan to track the mouse and calculated the position where the Traceless Mouse would inevitably appear, then wandered aimlessly and waited for the right moment at that location.

Tosido and the priest returned to the Divine Temple and struck the bell, signifying the end of the assessment.

The bell echoed through King Port, and the other young prodigies were stunned: it’s over? So soon?

Alonni and the others found it unbelievable: who was it?! I was fast enough; there shouldn’t be anyone faster than me...

They didn’t know that Tosido and the priest were even more troubled because they could see that the entire process had been led by Alonni and Vegas, who cornered the Traceless Mouse, only for Sanni to benefit. It was Alonni’s and Vegas’s outstanding performance that made Sanni win!

Tosido originally thought the assessment would take at least four hours, with potential unexpected events such as the Traceless Mouse escaping King Port or some young prodigies mistaking other people’s pet Traceless Mice for the target, requiring him to intervene and explain things.
