Chapter 135: Money Problem (1/2)
After talking with the bird Kadyn thought about it for some time; however, he realised that it was no use, so he dropped the idea for the time being and dozed off. He would know everything eventually, and therefore he fell asleep due to fatigue.
When he came to his senses, he realised that it was already the next day. Only now did he feel fresh and full of energy. Only he knew how much he needed a goodnight sleep while he was roaming mountains and jungles all this time.
After refreshing, he went out to meet with everyone to have breakfast. As they ate the delicious and healthy food that was provided by the inn, Kadyn looked at Khrom and asked. ”Did you get the map?”
”Uh…” Khrom looked at Kadyn and scratched his head and exchanged glances with everyone else. He had no idea how to reply to Kadyn.
”What?” Kadyn asked when he saw a strange atmosphere. ”Did I miss something?”
”Well, you certainly did,” Elora replied with a smirk. ”Association's money is invalid in the Ceston Empire.”
”What the…” he looked agape at Elora, having a hard time speaking. He realised that he was no longer in the Magic Association and every empire has its own currency. Even if there was a place where they could exchange the money, he doubted that he would be able to do it in Acton Town. ”Damn.” He had tons of money from the Association, but he knew that it was useless.
Elora looked at his dumbfounded expression and found it quite funny. ”But don't worry, I have taken care of everything. The money problem has been solved.”
”Hmm?”
”What do you mean by hmmm?” Cecilia said when she saw his confused face. ”You are supposed to be the leader of the team, but you were snoring last night as if you have nothing to care about in this entire world.”
”I don't snore,” Kadyn said but when he saw everyone's expressionless face and narrowed eyes he felt a burning sensation on his cheek. ”Do I?”
”Anyways,” Cecilia sighed when he saw his expression. ”When we went to reserve our rooms yesterday — while you went to the cafeteria of the inn — we realised that our money was invalid in this empire. We had no idea what to do when the manager came and asked what was going on. As soon as he heard the receptionist that we had no money he wanted us to leave, but at that time Elora saved our asses.”
”Really?” he blinked as he looked at Elora whose face had turned red after hearing Cecilia praising her.
”Hmm,” the vampire girl nodded. ”At that time she said that the manager was ill, and when he heard her words he became irritated and wanted us to leave immediately. However, when Elora said that she could cure his 'insomnia' he stopped dumb on the spot. We had no idea what was going on and when the manager asked how she knew about his illness that only he and his wife knew about we immediately realised what was going on.”
”So you are saying that she cured his insomnia and that's how we were able to spend a night in this inn.”
