Way of Overlord Chapter 319 - 319 Bamboo Slips that Changes Fate

319: Bamboo Slips that Changes Fate 319: Bamboo Slips that Changes Fate Mayeux did not say anything He is nervous, his heart is beating wildly , his forehead is sweating but he tries toc lam himself down by closing his eyes for three second and then opening it back.

Took a small deep breath and then the calmness co again to him.

The Kan killing intent is unmistakable.

Even though the voice of the Kan is gentle, even though there is no indication at all that he is angry, how could soone like Mayeux not hear between the lines.

He paused and then added For talent that I could use I treat them as heavily as I treat the Heavenly Mountain and as for talents I could not use…” he paused for a second and his eyes turns cold “Why should I let them live and harm my great cause?!” He shouted and Mayeux started but he did not dare say anything.

Belarion startled and look at his sworn brother.

He narrowed his eyes and then slowly he dozed off again.

Belarion might not feel nervousness or fear at all.

Because the one being pressured is not him The one being scolded is not him.

The one being questioned is not him But Mayeux.

The teacher does not know the disciple intention.

How could this be possible?

Aeryon questions him because Aeryon knows that if Jayeux has thought of changing masters, Mayeux must have known.

What he hates is not Jayeux.

What he hates is betrayal?

Between his disciple and him, would Mayeux choose his disciple?

When life between his lord and his disciple, what would Mayeux choose?

And this is very important to Aeryon.

The dreams that he had is only shared to a few people.

Everyone knows he desire the Southern Great Steppe.

To beco the Qayan of the South.

But….there is only a few people that knows his true dream And no one knows it better other than Mayeux.

This is a person who he trusted with his dreams and soone he trusted with everything.

When he goes to battle, he could left his rear without worry because of Mayeux.

If he could not trust Mayeux, then how could he be at ease from now on.

Mayeux also know the reason he is being questioned.

He covers up for his disciple.

He long have known that Jayeux has tendency to betray.

But even though he has such inclination, Mayeux hope that Jayeux would not choose such a way.

And Mayeux rarely hopes.

He is very cold and calculating when it is about judging a person.

But he could not do it when it is about his disciple After all, he is human.

Not a stone.

And humans have feelings.

Even though Jayeux did not yet get employed by the Kan, if you look at the Kan treatnt toward Jayeux after knowing his talent, it is clear that the Kan thought of him as a talent he wanted to use.

Mayeux did not told Aeryon that Jayeux has different intention.

Isn’t this because he also values Jayeux?

And Aeryon simply wanted to know.

These two are friends.

They might not be old friend, or sworn brother, but Aeryon never trusted soone so much other than Belarion.

And Mayeux himself has pledged his life for Aeryon Whether Aeryon failed or succeed in his undertaking, Mayeux would stand through it all.

The mont he heard about the beautiful dream of the Kan, he was enraptured by it and he would use all of his knowledge to bring the dream world of the Kan into reality.

Precisely because they are friend, that this matter beco so complicated.

Aeryon scolds and then he sighed.

Mayeux wanted to say sothing but he knows he shouldn’t so he sighed in his heart.

Aeryon did not want to say more, Mayeux wanted to say sothing, but the one that did not want to say, has to speak and those who wanted to speak must be silent.

The silence continues and the tension inside the tent beco even more palpable.

Mayeux could feel the killing intent of his lord.

Rising by the second.

This is why he fears for Jayeux life.

His lord is soone that is reasonable.

He is not too cruel to his n but he did not coddle them either.

Discipline is an important thing but he also knows when to be flexible.

The use of punishnt and rewards is masterful and the ability to know human heart is impeccable.

It is good to say that discipline is to be implented in the army but to apply it in real life is very difficult.

Aeryon knows to justify thing he had done without making people feel that he broke the laws or broke the discipline.

In an isolated terrain, if he did not know how to read the hearts of his n, he would be mutinied.

If he relax discipline, then his n would be unruly.

Mayeux knows Aeryon ability and knows that the capacity for him to forgive is high.

But he is also ruthless when he needs to be.

His benevolence is purposeful and as such his ruthlessness also share the sa kind of purposeful ans.

And so, he knows that Jayeux is highly regarded in the heart of his lord.

But that is because he is a talent that Aeryon look highly upon.

And the more his lord regarded Jayeux, the more dangerous it is now that Jayeux had not pledged to his lord and runs away from the tribe A talent that could be used by his lord is a confidant to his ambition.

Soone like this, he would treat him like an honoured guest and trust them to make suggestion for him A talent he could not use, and even more a talent with Jayeux talent not being under him would not make him feel like he should persuade the talent.

But he wanted to kill this talent before he could grow up.

An enemy like Jayeux is not soone Aeryon wanted to raise.

He did not have a hobby to raise tiger so that this tiger could bite him when it grows up “The wise lord in his heart is not .

Then who do you think the wise lord in his heart, Mayeux?” Aeryon chuckles but the atmosphere in the tent is cold.

“You’re his teacher, so you must know” But Mayeux remains silent “Why are you so silent now, Mayeux?” he said it gently but Mayeux could hear the bubbling anger underneath that gentle tone.

Mayeux close his eyes.

In his heart he already made a decision.

Since Jayeux treats him like a teacher he should treat Jayeux like a student.

The relationship between teacher and disciple in the grassland is not that strict like in Yan dynasty.

There is no such thing as sacrificing yourself to save your teacher.

In the Steppe, you teach people and people teach you.

Everyone is helping each other, for the world is cruel and the gods are fickle, fates are uncertain and destiny changes with each mont But this did not an there is no love between teacher and student.

Even more so for Mayeux and Jayeux.

Even though Jayeux himself does not consider himself soone who is Yan people, he is affected a bit by the culture of teacher and disciple of Yan.

Of course, if the teacher he t is not Mayeux, he would not be so courteous nor so obedient.

Mayeux himself is affected by the teacher and disciple culture of Yan and Roma also has set of etiquette toward teachers and those who impart knowledge.

The teacher and disciple understand each other heart, the disciple look at the teacher like a parent, the teacher look at the disciple like a son and as such, Mayeux would not let Jayeux die.

There is another bamboo slips that is written by Jayeux.

It is his thod of survival.

When Mayeux read it, he knows that this thod of leaving himself out of danger is valid.

But there is also a chance that the plan that Jayeux ntioned in this bamboo slip would not work.

If it did not work, then Mayeux would leave a terrifying enemy in the hands of the enemy.

Aeryon is not a person who would raise tigers.

But if he reads the words that Jayeux had written in the bamboo slips and the leather parchnt, then Aeryon probably would want to raise this tiger Aeryon look at Mayeux bowing slightly in front of him but not saying anything The more Mayeux is like this, the angrier he beca.

“Hei!” Aeryon anger rises and Mayeux bows slightly and then brought out sothing from his sleeve “My Kan.

Please read this before making any decision” Aeryon was about to beco angry but the sudden move by Mayeux startled him and break him out of the rhythm.

He looks at the bamboo slip tied with a small rope.

He narrowed his eyes, took the bamboo slip and opens it and then he reads what is written in the bamboo slip For a mont, there is only silence in the tent.
