The rumour came without any notice. Furthermore, the content of the rumour was very strange, close to being bizarre.
The rumour was relevant to the White Commander, saying that he was a numbered series of cards master! No one believed in the rumour at the beginning. The White Commander was obviously a card artisan, how could he be a numbered series of card master? However, as time passed, the number of people who believed in the rumour increased.
Indeed, card artisan could not simultaneously be a card master. However, it only applied to ordinary card artisans. During ancient time, there was no distinct difference between card artisans and card masters. The two jobs were only separated after the establishment of Van Sant System. Heiner Van Sant himself was a strong man who had both jobs.
Was the White Commander an ordinary card artisan? Of course not! He was the descendent of Caesar, the God of Slaughter! How could he be just another ordinary card artisan?
