54 Chapter 54
"How did you do that?" Quickstep asked Ezedius in curiosity.
"Did what, Your Excellency?" Ezedius replied in confusion.
"I heard your voice but your mouth did not open. Hahaha! I know. Let me make a guess. It's magic, isn't it?" Quickstep said in excitement.
"You can call it that. But the right term would be divine sense, Your Excellency." Ezedius answered as he continued to use his divine sense in the conversation.
"Divine Sense? Wow! Let me try it. Can you hear me, my friend?" Quickstep said to Ezedius. He said the last sentence without moving the lips on his mouth. The result was a garbled guttural voice.
"I heard you, Your Excellency. But that was not the right way on how to use divine sense. Try closing your mouth and speak with your mind. Send the message to me using only your thoughts." Ezedius humored the bald immortal.
"Okay. Okay. I got it. Hahaha! Hello! Ezedius! Can you hear me now?!" Quickstep tried using divine sense for the first time.
"Too loud…" Ezedius muttered inaudibly before he slumped on his chair and his head bounced on the table. Blood were seen flowing from his ears.
"What happened?! An assassination! Call in the city guards quickly! Seal off the entrances! Now!" a huge man with a big booming voice instructed out loud. The guests were stunned by the sudden collapse of the city mayor.
"Can I check on him, Quickstep?" an elderly woman approached the bald immortal. She was a medic and was well versed in the arts of healing.
"Okay. But please check my ears first." Quickstep requested to the elderly woman.
"What am I looking for, Quickstep?" the elderly woman asked after he checked the ears of the bald immortal.
"Is there blood coming from my ears?" Quickstep asked again.
"There's no blood, Quickstep. Both your ears are normal." The elderly woman said after her quick inspection.
"Hahaha! Then I'm not drunk yet! Ezedius just drank too much wine, my friends. No need for alarm. Hehehe!" Quickstep announced to the masses. Before he sampled each food, Quickstep enquired their names from his friend, Ezedius.
When it came to the spirit liquor, Ezedius cautioned him that one should drink it moderately. Else, one may find himself dizzied, with a headache, or worst collapsed into unconsciousness. These symptoms were exactly what he just saw happened unto Ezedius.
"Let me at least look at him, Quickstep. If he is truly drunk, then we should transfer him to a more comfortable place." The elderly woman said to the bald immortal.
"Father!" Valeri shouted in panic.
"Father! Wake up!" Faye echoed the words of her sister. They feared for the worst and wanted to come up to check the condition of their father themselves. But they were not successful in their attempt. The military officers around the table prohibited their actions.
As per directive, assassinated victims or suspected assassinated victims shall not be touched by anyone. Contagion may arise that would spread the poison upon contact. And unnecessary interaction would cause further complications on the victim's condition. Only a certified medic could examine the victim.
"Your father is alive, Valeri, Faye! Fear not. He's just drunk. I told him he was drinking too fast. But he won't listen to me. Tsk Tsk." Quickstep tried to calm the sisters down.
"Did what, Your Excellency?" Ezedius replied in confusion.
"I heard your voice but your mouth did not open. Hahaha! I know. Let me make a guess. It's magic, isn't it?" Quickstep said in excitement.
