Chapter 155: Lost In The Dark (1/2)
”You can't mean…”
Lawrend said to the instructor in shock.
”What are you talking about? I didn't say anything.”
The instructor replied with a faint smile on his face.
”Thank you for telling me.”
Lawrend bowed to him respectfully.
”Now go. Show me what you can do.”
The instructor urged Lawrend.
”Wait, I still don't know your name.”
Lawrend stopped him just as the instructor was about to turn around.
”Oh, right. The name is Joseph Grey.”
Joseph introduced himself with a smile.
”Grey?”
Lawrend looked at him in confusion.
”Yes. I'm from the prestigious Grey Clan.”
Joseph nodded his head.
”No, it sounded familiar. I feel like I know someone with the same surname. Hm...”
Lawrend replied to him with a shake of his head. He then looked down and tried to remember it.
”Really?”
Joseph stared at Lawrend in surprise.
”Do you know Nimela?”
Lawrend raised his head and asked. He remembered her saying that her name was Nimela Grey.
”You know my daughter?”
Joseph was surprised.
”Kinda…”
Lawrend scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
”Why? Did she do something to you?”
Joseph squinted his eyes.
”Yes. She threw me out of the Phoenix-Dragon Inn.”
Lawrend nodded his head with a wry smile on his face.
”Aww… I'm sorry to hear that. I really spoil her too much.”
Joseph frowned hearing his words.
”It's fine. We already made up.”
Lawrend waved his hands in front of him.
”Good. Anyway, go set up a shelter. It's almost nighttime.”
Joseph urged Lawrend.
”Okay.”
Lawrend nodded his head.
”Alright. The two of you, find large leaves and long thin branches. As many as you can to make the night more comfortable.”
Lawrend turned to Nuon and Logan and ordered the two of them.
”Yes, Lawrend.”
Nuon nodded his head before he started walking into the forest.
”...”
Logan closed his eyes bitterly. He turned around and left to get what Lawrend asked for.
”At least he's listening to what I say.”
Lawrend was satisfied seeing Logan's response.
Lawrend left the camp and headed to get his own materials.
A dozen minutes later, Lawrend and Nuon were back in camp while Logan was nowhere to be seen even though it was already dark.
”Where is he?”
Lawrend asked Nuon.
”I'm not sure. I remember seeing him walking upstream.”
Nuon replied to Lawrend, uncertain.
”Alright. You stay here and start setting up. I'll find him.”
Lawrend said to Nuon before he headed to where Logan headed earlier.
”Be careful. There were roars of monsters on the other side of the stream.”
Nuon warned Lawrend.
”I will.”
Lawrend replied.
He walked for a few minutes in the dark before he heard the sound of a stream of running water.
”It's here.”
Lawrend approached it.
He dipped his hand into the water. It was cold. He could barely see its reflections under the moonlight.
”Logan!”
