Chapter 135: Money Problem (2/2)

”Yeah,” Cecilia nodded.

”Then what about the map?”

”Khrom will go to buy it after having his breakfast,” Cecilia replied nonchalantly.

”Wait a minute,” Kadyn looked even more confused. ”Didn't you say that we have no money?”

”Oh, god, why are you so dense?” Cecilia said. ”Do you think she cured the manager just for staying in this inn for a night? Do we look like stupid? Why would we do that? Healers may be common, however, healers with high-level spells would be greatly respected wherever they go.

”Elora might not be considered a high-rank healer in the capital of the Ceston Empire, but this town is situated in a backwater area, she is like a god in the eyes of the people of this village who has the ability to grow limbs of people with her powerful spells.” Cecilia looked at him and said. ”We asked for a definite amount of money from the manager and he reluctantly agreed with us after gritting his teeth for some time.”

”Oh, so that's what happened,” Kadyn nodded and also felt a little embarrassed when Cecilia called him dense, but he didn't argue with her. Sometimes he really was — simple things would feel like a complex web of spiders to him, and he would have a hard time understanding them — and he knew it.

After having breakfast Khrom went to buy a map and carriages. Though everyone else other than Kadyn could enter the shop while he travelled, Kadyn knew how boring it was and they have spent so much time inside already; now it felt like torture to them so Kadyn didn't ask them to enter the shop and let them travel with him.

After an hour, Khrom came with a map and two carriages. They didn't buy more because it would attract unnecessary attention and all kinds of bad people would try their luck on their group. Kadyn didn't want that to happen and no one objected to his suggestion. He knew he wasn't some kind of amazing leader so he always asked about everyone's opinion whatever he wanted to do.

”Alright, let's go!” Kove shouted excitedly and entered one of the carriages.

Kadyn smiled when he saw the excited child and as everyone was about to enter the carriage a shout came from not far away from the group. ”Wait!”

Kadyn turned and saw a man in black pants and a white shirt; he wore a black coat over the shirt and his shoes were shining black. Though he had no idea who he was. Kadyn frowned and looked at others with a questioning gaze.

”Hello, Mister Manager,” at this moment, Elora greeted the man politely.

”Ah, I heard from the receptionist that you were leaving. That's why I came here to express my gratitude. I can't tell you in words how grateful I am for curing me. No one in the town could do that. I have seen quite a few healers, but no one even came close enough to heal me.”

”Mister Manager, can you please skip all these things and go to the main topic. You can see that we are getting late.” Elora said, though her words implied that she was getting impatient, her tone was anything but impolite.
