Vol 1 Chapter 3 (1/2)
To Coffins
Carrying a large bag over his shoulder, the mercenary knocked on the back door of the “Mermaid Brothel”, someone looked out
“I’m here to see ‘that’ person”
“I’ll go look”
Golden Tooth Shark leaned against the wall, hisminutes was spent like that
After a while, someone finally came to lead hi through a long winding corridor
“You’re finally here” In the roo a htly, “only you?”
Golden Tooth Shark cursed in his mind, but he re a speck of sorrow, “Very sorry The elf was ined His resistance was fierce, my companions…were not so fortunate”
Theat the floor, “Put it down”
Golden Tooth Shark carefully lifted the bag down fro down soaze had shi+fted to the wooden box at the corner by the wall several times
“It’s in the box”
“Heive pensions for their families…”
“A total of four hundred gold Take it and leave”
Not waiting for the man to finish, the ility as a bandit fully Opening the box, he knelt in an alolden coins Then taking a handful out, kissed at it repeatedly
Then he fell over in that blissful position, started to twitch, his eyes rolled back, lips turning an unnatural shade of black
The man watched this scene silently, after a while, he pulled on the su bell
An hour later, the back door of the Merain, two coffins were pushed out one after the other Four of the brothel’s eside, because this type of job paid well, so no one co disrupted
The destination o streets away, one of the places where bodies were gathered for incineration in the city As to who died, they didn’t know, nor did they care to know
The e, there was no one inside, just a few oil laht The employees put down the coffins, their minds already on the warmth of the bed, they left at the same speed they came
Soon after, a shadowed figure silently drifted in
It was a young ated the area, he ca the lid
A stench blew into his face
In the coffin, Golden Tooth Shark’s body was already changing colour
The young rimaced, closed the lid, and turned to the other one
Theman’s wrist, and twisted it to one side extre his wrist dislocated, the youth could only follow along by falling down Incidentally the coffin’s owner didn’t plan to let hi out to straddle hi man’s throat
“Really Ellen, this sort of greeting, isn’t it a little too exciting” Looking at the elf’s angry expression, the young man said helplessly
The elf was black for a moment, “Who are you?”
He had never see this person before, but the voice was indeed strangely familiar Unless…
“…Cain?!”
“At your service, Sir” Cain replied happily, “now can you get off of me, sir?”
“Hoere you able to find this place?” Ellen hesitated for aCain up
“That,” Cain nursed his wrist, “Because when I returned to the Mercenary’s Ho around for your location”
“This man?” Ellen pointed to the coffin
Cain nodded, “Anyways, I didn’t think you would lose to those small fry so I didn’t interfere Finally when I didn’t see either of you by late night, I figured it strange so went to take a look – that group mostly deals in the flesh trade, even an idiot would knohere they would conduct the trade-off – sorry if I offend you – how much did you drink?”
“Quite a bit” the elf admitted, “But it’s not because of alcohol”
”A woman?… No? … A man?”
“… Siren’s Tears They used it”
Cain’s brows rose, “When did Golden Tooth Shark becoold, the reould at least be two hundred – Congratulations, even the old at most”
