“You’re back!”
Just as Leiu reappeared in the inn room, he heard his friend yell and then jump at him. The golden-haired noble gave him a tight hug and cackled like a maniacally.
“You cleared the quest, yes?”
Leiu responded with a simple nod, to which Fairti frowned and asked again,
“You know that’s not enough! Details! Tell me all the details.”
“We have a long journey ahead of us. I’ll tell you on the way.”
“Oh? We’re departing right now?”
Leiu nodded agai
“Ah! Isn’t it a great day to begin our glorious journey?”Fairti spread his hands upwards, basking in the sunlight and taking long and deep breaths, looking genuinely happy and in a pretty good mood. They stacked themselves with provisions, which include food, water, magical items that can repair gear, and even some precautionary equipment.Unlike his eager friend, Leiu was as grumpy as usual. He wasn’t particularly a fan of sunny weather, moreover, he was certain this peacefulness will be short-lasting. Once they are outside of the calm and safe region surrounding Moonlake city, beast attacks and encounters of local bandits will begin and not stop for a while.Fortunately, they can, though not always, teleport to the Eternal Abyss Manor to spend the
Fairti pulled Leiu to the side and, after gingerly glancing at Femy and her companions, he whispered with a barely audible voice.“It’s not a bad offer, you know.”Leiu frowned and was about to object but his friend cut him off.“We’re guaranteed a safe route, non-interference, and a personal escort. Look, we can always trick them then run when we’re near the capital.”“That’s not how a noble should act.” Refuted Leiu, though a sly smile appeared on his face.“Don’t mind it, I’m only a noble in name. I don’t know what the king’s counselor wants with you but it’s
“How come the undead are still here after the death of Sumbus Darrar?”-LeiuAfter a brief fight against a small group of undead, they stopped at a relatively safe cave and decided to stay for the night. Although neither Leiu and Fairti nor Femy’s group were tired, it was still better to travel at a moderate pace.Counselor Zeno told Femy to bring the Nameless Knight as soon as possible, however, it’s unwise to travel the plains of Sumbus at night. Inexplicably enough, the undead get much stronger at night and other nocturnal beasts roam the vast forests.“I already told you that Sumbus’ death was but a rumor. He very well may be alive.”“Even after three hu
“You should not baselessly assume such ridiculous things.”Femy clicked her tongue and gave a warning stare at the blond noble.Unfortunately for her, Fairti didn’t seem to see or hear her, or at least pretended not to.“Leiu and Zeno have never met and they can even be considered as enemies. If it’s not about revolting then why would he need him? To party together? Come on, Femy…”“You’re jumping to conclusions.”“I’m being realistic and logical. It’s not like Leiu is well-versed in politics so the only plausible explanation is that he’ll be ordered to do the dirty work.”
“Take that! Hahahaha you slimy fish!”Fairti was having the time of his life, he was cackling like a crazy person and throwing Fire Bombs are nearby swamps, subsequently causing one explosion after the other.Usually, it was either Leiu or Oela who would take care of monsters hiding underwater, however, it was the noble who made the first move in today’s case.He didn’t seem to notice the strange gazes he was getting from everyone, including his friend. He basically wasted half of his bombs on a large green fish that kept jumping from the water and attacking them from a distance by spitting a swirling dark green liquid which had a poisonous effect.Unfortunately for the fish, called ‘Staunching
“We’re here for a quest.” Elena replied perfunctorily before grabbing Leiu’s arm and dragging him to the side. She clearly wanted to talk to him in private so he didn’t resist, he only frowned and allowed himself to be pulled to the side. “...” However, when they were a distance away, the girl stood before him and kept silent, visibly hesitating on whether to voice her thoughts or not. Eventually, Leiu sighed and said, “What do you want to say?” “E-ehm…” Elena averted her gaze and lowered her head, still feeling conflicted. After several seconds of awkward silence, she spoke, at last. “Hurry! Hurry!”Elena was shouting at her party members while her grimoire was unleashing devastating waves of bright orange flames. Realman managed to lure their target out of the big swamp, however, the monster turned out to be a high-leveled elite Primordial Poisonous Frog.It was outrageously huge, its fat body covered in a slimy liquid that easily deflected both her flames and Sui’s successive arrows. Even Realman’s twin daggers were barely able to pierce through its skin, though the damage he dealt was pitifully small.Raffael, who was also a mage, made great use of his Wind and Earth spells. There was no denying that he was a good player and a better mage than Elena. He dealt close to no damage to the frog, nevertheless, he was smart enouRe; Hell Gate Chapter 296 : The Dispute
“Ah! Isn’t he the one from before?!”Fairti raised his eyebrows and pointed at the fallen assassin. Leiu stopped Femy and the rest from dealing the final blow, not because he wanted to spare the assailant but because he was shocked.“Realman?”The shy and quiet friend of Elena, Realman. He had an assassin class and didn’t seem to be the type to launch ambushes like this one, and against Leiu, at that.However, as much as it was a shocking revelation, Leiu did not think for a second that this might be a mistake from the young man.It was clearer than the day that Realman had the intention of killing him, and this led to many plausible speculati
