219 Fire Wolves Part Two (1/2)

Hearing this information made Alex ponder for a moment. If a knights order had indeed gone out and was almost wiped out then that means there was a powerful demonic beast that attacked them. ”Did the knights who went out say what exactly they came across that almost wiped them out?”

”The information they gave said there was a pack of at least one thousand fire wolves. This pack used sophisticated pack tactics and easily surrounded the knight order. The leader of the order said that he had never seen anything like it. It was as if the fire wolves knew exactly how they were going to move. Their whole order was split into two groups quickly which led to the injuries of their men.” The receptionist explained.

”I see. I will take a look. I think I have an idea of what is going on.” Alex went to walk away but stopped and turned around. Smiled at the receptionist as he gave a friendly reminder. ”Remember my identity is secret. If anyone asks who I am, just tell them my name is Alex. No last name.”

”I understand Alex.” The receptionist blushed from ear to ear looking at Alex's handsome face. She felt her heart begin to flutter. She cursed herself inwardly for looking at such a young boy and actually feeling giddy!

Alex had no idea about the inner turmoil he had caused the poor receptionist. He walked out of the Adventurers Guild and headed towards the Moon Clave mountains. Since he had never been there he could only travel on foot. The roads heading in the direction of the Moon Clave mountains were very desolate and void of people. Frey sat on Alex's head looking around at all the new things with interest. While Loeri was just given a lecture on what a boyfriend really was, was walking a little bit behind with complex emotions. As she walked, she kept looking up at Alex's back before quickly retrieving her gaze.

Alex could feel the stares and sighed. ”Loeri no matter how many times you ask, I will never and I repeat never stay in this form just to be your boyfriend!”

”I know! Stop saying it… Humph! I will find a handsome dragon who will become my boyfriend in the future! No need for some stinky Alicia man!” Loeri complained. She had asked Alex earlier to never take the pendant off and be her boyfriend. Which was swiftly rejected causing Loeri to sulk. Of course, Loeri had no feelings for Alex in that way, it was all just because she wanted to have a boyfriend after finding out what one was.

As days turned into weeks, Alex finally reached the town that was two days away from the Moon Clave mountains. But what he saw when he got there was not a town filled with people but a ghost town with no one in it. ”It seems that no one has been here for a long time.”

Alex made his way through the town's main gate that was left wide open. He looked down at the ground and frowned a bit. The only marks on the ground were his and Loeri's. This meant that no one had actually left the town. But if they did not leave the town where did they go? ”Loeri do you smell anything off around here?”

”Besides a stinky he she nothing! Humph!” Loeri was still pouting over what had happened earlier. It seemed to have been a large hit to her dragon pride.

Alex paid no mind to Loeri's sulking and looked around. He sent a small heat detecting eye above the town to see if he could spot any heat sources. What he found was in the back of the town near the rear gate was one heat source. ”Found something!”
