“Adam, he is the man!”
George didn’t turn his head.
He sipped on his drink, knowing this was the man who was looking for him.
If this man was looking for him, he would come for him, anyway.
‘It is not like I have anything to be robbed.’
He smiled in self-mockery.
All the money he brought with him was gone.
He was too ashamed to go back to his family again. It would humiliate his family, too. Everyone thought about him as a madman, and it surprised him to learn someone was looking for him.
Luckily, his reputation was not known much on the
“We are finally here.”Lyana looked out of the carriage as she felt them turning onto a bumpy road.It was the early morning to the West Coast, and the sun barely rose from the east.Still, she and the others were wide awake. To them, this journey was a magical one. They travelled through the Crimson Empire from its northern border to the southern border. Unlike their journey through the Blood Baron kingdom, this one had no trouble along the way.Sure, they had to hide from the eyes of the other travellers, but it was simply staying inside their assigned carriage until nightfall. Other than that, they were free to do as they pleased.‘I sure understand that dwarf,’
“Master!”“Ahh… Sid, you are early today.”“I left home early today, master.”“Good. What are you planning to do today?”Ron asked his apprentice, but he already knew the answer.This was the winter and the period during which most of the people in the West Coast city became sick. Mostly, the common cold was a troublesome thing for the low tier warriors and children.Sid had been his apprentice for almost four years now, and his only apprentice. After all, people in the Crimson Empire only knew how to admire the capabilities of a potion maker. Many of these people didn’t show any intentions of learning this master
“Old man Ron, what are you doing here? Don’t tell me you want to join the Palace.”“Cough, you know how I am, Jig.”He let out a dry cough in the face of this old joke.“Come on, come in. Why are you here anyway?”His friend knew how he was. Ron usually wished to be in his place, working on his own potions.“Can’t a man come to meet an old friend?”“I can believe that if you are not avoiding my eyes, friend.”“Sigh, alright!”Ron knew his friend was right. After leaving the medicine distrib
‘Brother, hold on a bit longer!’Roland looked worriedly at his brother.His brother, Lock suffered as a child because of famine. He remembered the time they only had meat to eat, but his brother’s body became weak due to the lack of food.He and Dean, their younger brother, took care of Lock for all these years. However, about a month ago Lock started refusing to eat. A week ago, he stopped eating anything, making him grow weaker every day.He tried using his position as an Empire Knight to seek the best potion makers, but it made no progress. He and his family lost all their hope until he saw something about a day ago.An old man moved to the valley with his family, and he heard the old m
“How are you now?”“I am doing well, My Lord. Thank you!”“You shouldn’t walk too much until you recover.”“Yes, My Lord.”“We will call you once we are ready. Let’s go.”Ron listened to the conversation between Lord Adam and the young man with a horrible scar on his face. He noticed that the young man’s condition was at the stage of recovery. Judging by his careful movement, Ron could tell that the young man was afraid of hurting his back.‘This must be the young man Lord Adam mentioned. But isn’t his recovery too fast?’Fixing someth
“They are ready, Your Majesty.”“I can see that!”She used her teasing voice.‘He is getting stronger. Is he practising at night?’Elena wondered.She felt his power last time he talked to the master potion makers. Even though it was not above her, she knew he was strong.‘Maybe even strong enough to overpower an Empire Knight.’She never looked into his power, but it was growing at a rapid rate.‘I must become stronger.’She suddenly felt she was falling behind.
‘Huh?’Adam jolted awake, feeling the sudden sensation in his body.‘Is that another dream?’He had several dreams for the past few days.He saw his mother when they were back in their old village. Those old memories brought a sense of sadness to his heart. Then there were days he dreamed about the Empress.He never woke up before because of a dream.‘There is something different. System?’He called out the only thing that could affect him unknowingly. If it was not for the system, he would be in grave danger. With his current enhanced senses, if something managed to approach
“Let’s eat.”Ava placed the last dish on the table before sitting beside her sisters.Three of them were not related by blood, but they stayed together since young. When they had to move to the Crimson Empire, their families had to stay behind because of their roles in the Elven Kingdom.Since then, they usually had their dinner in one house. Even though they wanted to have one temporary house, Mr Sean insisted on having three houses for future convenience. Since then, dinner was the time they gathered together like this. Sometimes Alyndra stayed in her or Keya’s house.“I am still not used to living on the ground.”Alyndra pouted, but it didn’t stop her from filling her p
