Chapter 130 - The Visitor cnt. (2/2)
”No idea. You?”
”If I knew why would I ask you.”
”...”
”But I do have an idea...”
Hao Xuan put away the dishes in his hand and came back to take a seat, ”I'm listening.”
”A necromancer. All those 'things' were made out of actual corpses so my guess is there is a necromancer nearby who is learning a new type of magic.”
”Magic?” Hao Xuan was surprised. Did magic really exist?
”Yeah. Although it is pretty rare here. Most of the magicians live on 'Medeis' so you don't normally see them that often.
”Medeis?” the more this girl talked, the less Hao Xuan knew. This was certainly a new development.
”Oh, I'm sorry. I said something unnecessary. Nevermind that, but I still think its a necromancer. If we can catch him alive then the reward would be huge. We can even sell him to an Empire or something,” the more she talked, the more her eyes lit up.
”Necromancer? Sell him?” Hao Xuan shook his head. Although he didn't know what exactly those creatures were, it was certainly not a necromancer's doing. If it was something this simple then the Kingdom would have figured it out by now.
”Are you a bounty hunter?” since she was talking about capturing and selling people, maybe this was her thing.
”Not exclusively but I do dabble. Why, need someone captured? I'm not cheap you know,” she said with a wink.
”N-No, I was just asking. Do you know where we are?” he quickly changed the subject.
”Of course. We are right next to a few towns and villages. That's where I spent the last few nights,” she said as a matter of factly which left Hao Xuan speechless. He was this close to human settlements and didn't even know? Here he was sleeping in the wild when he could've spent the night in a cozy hotel room with room service.
”Take me to the closest town,” he said despairingly. It was extremely easy to pack up since he only had to press a single button on the round metal ball and it would store everything.
”Oh by the way, what's your name?” he completely forgot to ask before. She looked at him with a smile that would topple cities and seductively extended her right hand with the palm facing downwards.
”You can call me Sin.”
”Oh, nice to meet you Sin. I'm Hao Xuan,” he shook her hand unceremoniously and started walking away. Now it was her turn to be left speechless, since she had extended her hand to be kissed, not shaken. But how could Hao Xuan be aware of these things?
”Simpleton,” she mumbled under her breath and started walking in the exact opposite direction.
”This way,” her voice interrupted Hao Xuan's march as he quickly turned around and followed after her with a slight blush.
