Chapter 75 - A Tailor’s Shop (1/2)
Approaching the unfathoure almost disappeared in comparison
Taking in the spectacle of the rainbow scales reflecting light all over the place and the presence filling the entire space, bowing towards the God of dragons would have gone unnoticed if it hadn’t been for an eye the size of a wagon wheel focusing on the servant
“Your lordshi+p, we have received otiations have been a success, and in exchange for precious ores, Your requests will be granted The old geezers gave in, they have no idea e areas well Do You wish for this lowly servant to prepare the necessary offerings?”
Without so round For the dragon it was quite insignificant; for the servant however, a mountain of ore suddenly appeared in front of him
“I thank thee, h the trouble I will send it over right away”
Touching the shi+ny mineral, the elf deposited it into his own [Soul space], causing it to disappear into thin air
As he departed from the sacred shrine, an enraptured expression found its place on his face Being able to be close to the target of his worshi+p allowed the servant to be content for close to a millennium, in particular since chances to enter the Sanctuary were few and rare to come by
On the other side, the beheain and opened his [Third Eye], the servant already forgotten from his mind
As he surveyed a place far fro through the grotte remained behind in the Sanctuary
Arriving in front of the guild building, Nisha was panting farlibrary building should have taken out of her enhanced constitution The fear of being late and disappointing her friend drove her harder than she could have iined
Standing near the various gates leading inside, the cheerful counter girl who had already been waiting for her started to walk in her direction,with her in the middle
“Sorry, Aubrey Did you wait long? Looking through the skills took longer than I expected”
Catching her breath in between each sentence, the dragon did her best to not let it sho anxious she felt due to being late
Aubrey, on the other hand, simply smiled
“No worries, I had to stay a bit longer anyway since the girls on the next shi+ft were late, so I just got here as well But enough of that Where’s your brother?”
Notto herself the real airl even irl replied with a question of her own
“He still has soo ahead and that he’ll take o ahead without him”
Finally gaining a seain, Nisha informed her friend of the situation, unsure how to proceed
“Great! More tio!”
Not giving her a chance to argue, the cheerful girl grabbed Nisha by her hand and pulled her through the large plaza in front of the guild
The irls Aubrey well known as a sort of uild
Leaving in big strides, she also shared ing Nisha along with a certain destination in mind
Without her enhanced hearing, the dragon would have had a hard ti all of it, but for the moment she was just happy to have her friend’s hand in her own
“Granny Cerhi here sells the best snacks on the whole place, and she always gives me a little extra The stall over there is also pretty nice … ah, we’re here already”
As she led the way into a side alley, the stream of people rapidly declined coo of the s
“Where are we? Why is no one walking here at all?”
The alley they were standing in had abundant space and neat paths to walk on Although no stalls or shops lined the road, soirl
“Apart from the residents, not many people know about the side alleys We are in between two store fronts, between the main roads, so to speak”
“With stores facing left and right fros have a s of their suppliers Of course, there’s also some parks and apartment blocks for people ork in the stores”
“We can use this as a shortcut to get to my place I’ll show you where I live”
When she suddenly grabbed o, it feels lonely I wonder if it is too soon to take her hand on my own …
Lost in her thoughts, Nisha alht of her friend who entered one of the afore the closing piece of wood before it had a chance to snap shut again
“Sis! I am back! Are you here?”
Unconcernedly shouting into the house, Aubrey looked back to see that her guest had ain leaving the dragon to chase after her
“Calm down child I’ as well”
Rising frorandfatherly figure answered the call and stood up, squinting at the pair of girls still standing in the entryway of the backdoor
“You’re back late, Brey, and lunch already started Who’s your friend over there?”
“Uncle Asen! Stop doing that, you scared uild earlier, and I brought her over to play Are my sisters both home?”
Putting the project he orking on from his lap onto a nearby table, the elderly man rose to accompany them
“Indeed, I think the girls said so late and that they won’t bother to wait for you I think they should still be in the dining room
You can go ahead with your friend, I’ll fetch one more set of dishes”
Without giving Nisha a chance to introduce herself, he vanished deeper into the corridor covered by the curtain next to his chair
“Who was that, Aubrey?”
Still confused by the encounter, the elven girl asked about it
“That was Grandpa Asen, although he doesn’t like getting called that or anything sirandfather, so we settled for Uncle Asen instead He helps around the shop and had his store in this building before he moved in, so by this point he’s somewhat family already
Come, I’ll introduce you to my sisters next That’ll teach theht a friend home!”
To rabbed her hand again, dragging her along the corridor before sie hidden behind another curtain
At the sa hers, happy to once again hold it
