Although the Bone Flying Lizard didn't enter Boulder City, it still terrified the soldiers guarding the city.
Most of these people had never seen the Bone Flying Lizard, but the shocking legend of its single ground strike completely destroying the entire forces of two tribes had already spread throughout the desert.
The ignorant people of the Chaos Realm feared it even more than the Death Judge that Noah ntioned.
This was because they couldn't comprehend the Death Judge's power, but the Bone Flying Lizard's strength had been witnessed firsthand by many.
It had beco countless people's nightmare.
So when the Bone Flying Lizard landed on the wasteland five hundred ters from the city gate, soldiers imdiately ran to report the news to the city lord and high priest living in the black stone tower.
However, they didn't know that a figure had already appeared before their city lord and high priest before the soldiers even jumped down from the city wall.
Saul teleported directly behind Noah.
At this mont, Noah was resting on a long chair covered with animal fur.
On the other side of the room, behind a long table, the forr ordinary youth Scorpion was looking at the text on a sand table with distress.
"Why do I have to relearn every single character?"
Scorpion lay sprawled on the table. The clothes he wore now were much more refined than before, and he had a brown cloak made of giant feathers draped over his back.
Because he was now the clan leader of the entire Boulder Tribe and also the lord of Boulder City!
After witnessing the power of Saul and the bone monsters, the original clan leader didn't hesitate much and announced the next day that he would transfer the clan leader position to Scorpion.
He didn't give it to Noah because the latter had clearly stated that he would serve the Death Judge for life and wouldn't take on any tribal leadership position.
The old clan leader was also relieved by this—he didn't want to pass the clan leader position to an outsider in his heart.
Scorpion, who had the best relationship with Noah, was directly stunned when this enormous fortune fell on his head.
Originally, due to his insufficient physical mutations, he had always been a marginal figure in the tribe. But because he brought back Noah and had a good relationship with him, he directly beca the new clan leader.
When Boulder City was established, Noah even directly supported Scorpion as the lord of Boulder City!
However, being a city lord wasn't as fun as Scorpion had imagined.
Not only did he have to worry about Boulder City's affairs every day, but he also had to squeeze out ti to study.
Learning writing, arithtic, martial arts, and managent.
Scorpion, who had just recovered, was once again overwheld by heavy tasks. He even wanted to give up his city lord position.
But Noah told Scorpion that once he was no longer the city lord, he would likely die an unnatural death in a short ti.
This scared Scorpion so much that he never dared ntion abdication again.
Though he stopped talking about abdication, his daily complaints never decreased.
"Noah, can't you be like Lord Death Judge and just wave your hand to make learn all the characters?"
Scorpion was currently learning the common language, which had far more characters and complex grammar than the pictographic writing used in the Chaos Realm.
"Stop thinking about taking shortcuts all the ti. Learning is also a process of improvent. Otherwise, when Boulder City's scale continues to expand and you can't competently fulfill the city lord position, you'll eventually be eliminated."
Scorpion's eyes rolled. Having spent considerable ti with Noah, he was no longer as fearful of him as before.
Moreover, he had seen Noah's embarrassed side and didn't admire him as much as the other tribespeople.
He tentatively asked, "If I really can't be city lord, could I beco an elder?"
His predecessor was now an elder of Boulder City, had nothing to do every day, was especially respected, and received considerable offerings.
Scorpion was quite envious watching him now.
Who knew that after hearing Scorpion's question, Noah would rise from the reclining chair, the corners of his mouth curving up as he looked over coldly.
"You are soone blessed by the Death Judge. You cannot abdicate due to inability to fulfill the city lord duties. You can only die in war or sacrifice yourself for Boulder City!"
Hearing Noah's explanation, Scorpion froze in place.
After a full minute, he suddenly lowered his head to look at those complex characters.
Watching this scene, Saul silently sighed. Although Noah was only in his teens, due to his early experiences, his ntality was already different from ordinary people.
Conversely, Scorpion, who was taller and older than Noah, still had a "laid-back" attitude.
Saul raised his hand and directly sealed Scorpion's consciousness, then revealed his form and walked to Noah.
Seeing Scorpion, who had just shown so panic, suddenly freeze, Noah's heart jumped. Just as he was about to be on guard, he saw Saul appear before him.
"Master!" Noah stood up joyfully, instantly returning to a childlike innocent appearance.
"Leaving you alone here for so long must not have been easy."
Noah ca close to Saul. "It's not hard. In fact, I think Master bringing here was really wonderful."
"Ever since you told that my body, due to several failed magical experints, could no longer adapt to elental particles in normal environnts, I thought I wouldn't live much longer."
"But you brought here, not only giving the possibility to live on, but also teaching magic and providing with so many resources. It's no exaggeration to say that you gave a second life!"
Saul wasn't fooled by this boy's flattery. He smiled and said directly, "Now that you've established such a force, you won't have to work as hard as before."
Noah imdiately showed loyalty to Saul. "Master, please rest assured. Whether establishing forces or faith, I'm doing it all for the task you assigned."
His eyes brightened. "Oh right, Master, this past year, the teams I sent out finally found a complete bone skeleton that's very similar to the bone monster you rode last ti."
Saul had already heard from Byron about what Noah had found and wasn't surprised. Bone monsters weren't common, and once awakened could be very dangerous. Saul still couldn't confirm that what Noah found was definitely a mutated undead clan skeleton.
That's why he was so eager to co to Boulder City to confirm.
"Where is it? Take to see it."
"Yes! Master, please follow !" Noah imdiately led Saul outside. "The skeleton we found this ti is relatively small, can't compare to the one you rode, but it's still about a ter in size. I was afraid there might be dangers we couldn't handle and worried about others tampering with it, so I stored it separately on the top floor of Boulder Tower, where normally no one else can access it."
Saul nodded, finding Noah's caution to his liking.
Just as Noah walked ahead and opened the door, a tall, sturdy man with bull horns on his head suddenly rushed up the corridor.
This strong Chaos Realm person currently had a panicked expression. Upon seeing Noah erge from the room, he imdiately reported loudly, "High Priest, sir, trouble! The bone monster that appeared half a year ago has appeared again! It landed not far outside the city."
Noah imdiately looked back at Saul but saw him expressionless, giving no indication.
At the sa ti, Noah keenly noticed that the reporting soldier only stared at him, with his gaze never shifting to Saul beside him.
He imdiately realized Saul was deliberately concealing his form.
So he didn't expose Saul's presence either, just sternly shouted, "What's there to panic about? That's the Death Judge's mount. It's perfectly normal for it to occasionally appear at Boulder City. You should imdiately show respectful salutes! Pass down the order—from now on, whenever anyone sees the Death Judge's mount, everyone must imdiately stop what they're doing and perform the highest etiquette!"
