Chapter 151 - Hes More Of A Leech (1/2)

After resting for a while, they venture into the forest with their mother taking the lead. Following the description on the map, they were able to make it out of the forest before the sun was about to go down. Now looking at the town that was before them and although it looks better than Carpie town, it was still considered a small town.

”Is this where we are supposed to get transportation to the capital” asked Jason as he looked at the busy town not far from them.

”That is it alright, Lapis where almost all business is conducted but we have to be careful since we don't know if there is any member of the Wallace family in the vicinity” replied Clara.

”I doubt that there will be any in this place” said Jason.

”Knowing the Wallace family, they are already stationed in other towns just in case we show up” replied Clara.

”Are they really that jobless to be doing something like this” complain Hannah.

”That is just the way they operate since they don't want to give their target the chance to escape to later come and hunt them. We will wait here until it is dark before going inside to purchase some horses” replied Clara.

And that is how they waited in the forest not far from Lapis town to avoid being seen by others until when it get dark before they finally decided to head into the town in hope that some of the citizens have already gone to bed only for them to see that the place was still as noisy as it was in daylight. Making their way toward the stable where they are supposed to get a horse, only for Clara to notice someone among the crowd where a black robe with a mask on, and she quickly drags her children to the side where they hide away from the young man.

”Hey man, sorry if I am bothering you but have you seen a lady walking around with a boy and a girl” asked the young man as he stop a passerby.

”Almost all the woman here has children so how am I supposed to know who you are looking for” replied the passerby before walking away.

Seeing that the man just stop has a point in what he was saying, the young man let out a sigh before walking away.

”Just like I thought it won't be easy searching for them once they get into a town” said Berry before walking away.

Seeing the man walking away, Clara turns to the two before her as she advises.

”Since we are here it would be very difficult for them to track us so I want you guys to try and blend with the crowd alright”.

And reply with a nod before getting out of their hiding place as they continue heading toward the stable which didn't take them much time to reach.

”And how may I help you” said the owner of the stable when seeing the lady hurrying toward him.

”I would like to purchase two horses from you sir” replied Clara.

”That is going to cost you about three hundred spirit stones” said the owner with a straight face.

”Isn't that a little too much for a horse” asked Clara.

”This is business madam, if you want them you can pay up and if you don't, you can just leave” replied the owner.

Seeing that the owner is not in the mood to negotiate the price with them, Clara could only bring out the spirit stone that is left after renting a room to spend the night in Carpie town but unfortunately for her, the spirit stone that was with her was not even up to a hundred and she couldn't help but let out a sigh as she turns to the owner of the stable ready to please when Jason spoke up.

”Sir is it okay if we pay you with some of our valuables” asked Jason.

”As long as it is of the same value with the spirit stones then sure” replied the owner as he turned to Jason.

After getting assurance from the owner of the stable, Jason brought out the storage ring that he took away from Fred as he began to take out weapons after weapons with some pills until there was nothing left before turning to the owner with a smile on his face as he asked.
