I'm not just human!

He was telling the truth, so even when he mentioned Dukes Oberon and Shorsa, Poincaré and Offe did not refute him.
On the other hand, as nobles, everyone understood that a top-tier secret treaty started at two million gold pounds, and some were even more expensive. How could Xiafa possibly sign such a treaty? They were just joking around.
At that moment, Poincaré suddenly raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said:
"His Highness should arrive in about ten minutes. Let's wait a little longer."
Everyone nodded, and no one dared to say anything.
Xia Fa then realized why everyone had suddenly come to the living room to chat; they were waiting for His Highness the Prince.
Wait, His Highness the Prince is coming too?
It seems that the scale of this hunt at the Mist God Hunting Grounds is somewhat beyond his expectations.
His Highness the Prince's name is Justinian, and he is thirty-one years old this year. It is said that he became a demigod when he was in his twenties. As for his current rank, Xiafa does not know.
Normally, colleagues in the church rarely talk about this topic, as if there is something to avoid.
Seeing that they were just waiting and had nothing else to do, the students from the three academies took turns coming forward to greet Xia Fa and introduce themselves to each other.
After all, Xia Fa is now considered a relatively well-known young man in the Kingdom of Augu. He has made such great achievements, so it's natural for everyone to want to get to know him.
To Xia Fa's surprise, although most of these people came from noble families, three of them were commoners from the lower city of Augustus who were exceptionally outstanding and were admitted to the three academies.
For some reason, this made him feel quite comfortable.
Suddenly, Ofl spoke with a mysterious expression:
"By the way, have you heard? The latest news about the entity 'Glutton'!"
Apart from Poincaré and Daponz, everyone else looked completely bewildered.
Although the entity known as Gluttony has been making headlines every day lately, it's clear that Miss Off is not referring to any of the previous news stories.
"what happened?"
"What happened?"
"Miss Auf, please stop keeping me in suspense."
Seeing everyone's eager expressions of wanting to know the truth, Ofl raised her head and said rather smugly:
"According to the intelligence my father just obtained, it can almost be confirmed that Lord Gluttony's strength... is enough to rank him among the top three of all entities!"
These words stunned the students of the three academies.
After a brief silence, a heated debate erupted.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"That's right! The top three entities can only be the Storyteller, the Bard, and that strongest mysterious entity who has never shown himself yet. How could it be Lord Gluttony?"
"Even though the Glutton is currently in the spotlight, there's no way he can beat the Storyteller and the Bard!"
"I've always felt that, if we don't count the strongest mysterious entity, then the most powerful entity is the Story Answerer!"
"A storyteller? Pshaw! What does he compare to a bard?"
"How could a bard gain the approval of the nine great gods and live from the beginning of the universe to the present? What is the storyteller's answer?"
"If that's the case, has the bard ever displayed any power? Has he wiped out an entire inhabited planet like the storyteller did?"
"Speaking of which, is it really that... does no one like the Poison Patriarch Veronica? She's so beautiful, I'd be willing to plant bee eggs in my body every day!"
"You're defying the heavens, brother, can you please stop being so defying the heavens?"
"You wouldn't be happy if a bee egg were actually implanted in you."
"Speaking of which, Miss Auf, is your source wrong? How can a glutton compare to a storyteller or a bard? And you think you can squeeze into the top three?"
Xia Fa looked at the students from the three academies who had suddenly started arguing with great surprise. They were arguing so heatedly that their faces were red and their spittle was flying everywhere. They even seemed to want to roll up their sleeves and fight.
Surprisingly, judging from their appearance, these students seem to be fans of the physical stores?
But then he thought about it again and understood.
After all, apart from more evil entities like the "Wall of Flesh and Blood" and the "Fanatic Tomb Raiders," most other entities, while facing dire consequences for violating their rules, are still very attractive as long as one doesn't break them.
Putting everything else aside, the near-limitless power of these entities and their mysterious origins, which no one has been able to figure out to this day, are enough to attract people.
In this situation, it seems normal for students from noble families in the three academies to engage in debates in a physical form when they are bored.
As for whether his disguised entity, "The Glutton," could rank in the top three, or whether it could surpass the Storyteller and the Bard, Xia Fa didn't care. He wasn't a real entity to begin with...
At this moment, Poincaré sat up straight and calmly spoke:
"Actually, compared to this, I have some news about the Bald father and son that I'm sure you'll all be interested in."
The Baldre family?
Xia Fa's heart immediately tightened.
Chapter 126 The Hunting Jackpot! His Highness the Prince's Huge Reward!
"The Baldre family? What happened?"
Daponz asked curiously, clearly having heard of the father and son, and continued:
"Isn't their family just barons? How come they've caught the attention of you, the Duke's son, Poincaré?"
Poincaré shook his head:
"I had never heard of them before, after all, there are too many nobles in our Augu Kingdom, but recently, something very strange happened."
Xia Fa then feigned curiosity and asked:
"what's up?"
He sensed from Poincaré's tone that news of the Baldes's death had not yet spread; otherwise, Poincaré would not have sounded so doubtful, but would have simply said that the Baldes were dead.
Poincaré frowned slightly, as if deep in thought:
“This matter was handled by one of my father’s subordinates. According to him, yesterday, the Balds dismissed all the servants in the house for some unknown reason, including the butler and accountant. Even the tutor and groom were given a settlement fee and sent away. Then, the Balds took their property and left the country.”
Daponz exclaimed in surprise:
"Go abroad? But isn't their family on the verge of decline?"
Poincaré nodded solemnly:
"That's the strange thing. The Baldr family claimed they were going on a trip abroad, but through my father's subordinate's tracking and inquiries, no one along the way saw them."
Xia Fa was filled with doubt. There was no doubt that Bald and his son were dead. No one was more certain of this than him. But the key question was, why would Pompeii, or rather the ruler behind Pompeii, keep this a secret?
Is it because they are afraid that their plans will be discovered, so they have to keep it a secret?
Daponz suddenly burst into laughter:
"Maybe they went bankrupt and are using this method to cover it up. They've actually already fled to the downtown area to make a living, haha."
Offe pouted slightly:
"Tch, I thought it was some big news. How boring. Let's get back to the previous topic. Aren't you curious why my father thinks gluttons should be ranked in the top three among the physical beings?"
Her topic clearly attracted more attention, and immediately everyone's ears perked up, even Poincaré.
Of course, among the thirty-odd people present, only Xia Fa was pretending to be curious.
Off seemed quite pleased with attracting everyone's attention, slightly raising her pointed chin:
“My father said it came from intelligence that King Giant had just shared, and it hadn’t even spread yet; the newspapers were working overtime to finish their articles—”
She paused deliberately, lowered her petite frame, and her tone became mysterious:
"Lord Gluttony, you suddenly appeared by the God-given Lake on Planet Dark this afternoon and helped the giants quell the attack of the Rotting Insects!"
Rotten poisonous insects?
Everyone gasped in shock. This kind of bizarre phenomenon, which was notorious throughout the entire universe, was something no one hadn't heard of.
The planet Caligi, the home of the Augu Kingdom and the planet we all stand on, was almost completely contaminated by an army of rotten, poisonous insects.
Fortunately, that was the second ten thousand years of the universe, and at that time the nine righteous gods were still able to respond to the prayers of believers.
So after everyone prayed to the righteous god, the Lord of Nature, vines and buds immediately sprouted from all the rotting insect army, turning into nutrients, and they were cleaned up in the blink of an eye.
But now it has been three millennia since the beginning of the universe, and no god will respond to such requests anymore.
In this situation, it is indeed quite impressive that Your Excellency the Glutton managed to wipe out the entire army of decaying poisonous insects and protect the newly acquired divine lake from pollution.
“I take back what I said. Lord Glutton is very strong. Although he is still not as good as the Storyteller and the Bard, he is at least comparable to the Gourmet or the Patriarch of All Poisons.”
"Indeed, the putrid insects are not so easy to deal with. The Gourmet might be able to handle them, but even the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons might not be able to hold them off."
“Wow, Gluttony! I wish he could come to my house for a meal. I’ll bring out my father’s 50-year-old Sauternes wine to serve him!”
When the last student uttered those words, he was immediately met with unanimous contempt from everyone.
"Berenk, don't think we don't know what you're thinking. Do you want gluttons to come to your house for a meal? You want to become governor in the future, just like little Ridley Law!"
"Yes, your family is just a baronial family. How could Lord Glutton possibly attend a banquet at your house?"
"I think it would be more appropriate for you, Glutton, to come to my house for a meal. My mom is looking forward to it every day, haha."
The student named Bellon scratched the back of his head, as if his thoughts had been read, and smiled rather embarrassedly.
Xia Fa watched as everyone discussed the matter so earnestly, and for some reason, he felt a little amused.
If they knew that the so-called "Glutton" was sitting right next to them...
He also noted down Bellenk's name and appearance. If he really couldn't find anything to eat in the future, it didn't seem like a bad idea to go to this guy's house for a meal. He quite liked Sauternes wine; he fell in love with it after just one sip.
Off, however, became dissatisfied and said:
"What's the rush? I haven't finished yet. Do you know what methods Lord Glutton used to wipe out the army of rotten poisonous insects?"
Her words immediately piqued everyone's curiosity once again.
After all, the means an entity uses are extremely important in evaluating its strength.
Ao Fu stretched out her fair and delicate little hand and made a horizontal gesture in the air:
"According to my father, Lord Gluttony... first restricted the movement of the army of decaying poisonous insects, which seemed almost equivalent to directly restricting spacetime. Then, he directly beheaded the entire army of decaying poisonous insects, and even released some kind of black flame of extremely high rank, burning their poisonous bodies and poisonous gas to ashes!"
