Chapter 140: Celestial Flame Sparrow (1/2)
The night fell and a sickle of a moon hung on the dark starry sky, visible from the window of the tavern room, amidst the occasional passing clouds. The cold wind blew and smashed his face, as Kadyn gazed at the flickering lights on the city walls from time to time.
”Don't kill him immediately,” Kadyn said with a nonchalant expression. ”Get as much information as you can about the capital and its forces. Don't leave any clue behind or it would be troublesome. We are just minions in the eyes of these powerful houses. Need to think twice before we take a step forward. I wouldn't have thought about killing him, if he didn't touch my nerves. He could become an eyesore in the near future if we let him live this time.”
A shadow standing behind him nodded and then scattered abruptly, vanishing into thin air.
Kadyn took a deep breath and moved his eyes towards the tall castle that stood at the centre of the Capital. ”I wonder what kind of a person the emperor is; hope he is not like those idiots from the Sweeders and Webney.”
After that, he turned around and fell on the bed. As soon as he laid the room lightened up. A small figure appeared and sat on the windowsill. ”Do you realise how dangerous it is?” the bird opened her mouth. ”You will have a hard time surviving if they find out the culprit behind it.”
”And you think I will live comfortably if I let him live?” he said as he stared at the bird. He still didn't know anything about it, but he knew that this bird must have a powerful background.
As he thought about it a graceful figure appeared inside his head. It was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. His heart started to beat faster as he thought about her, but then he shook his head. She was like an immortal fairy while he was a lowly beggar on the street as compared to her. No match at all. No chance at all.
”Are you…” he hesitated for a moment but then went on. ”Are you from another world?”
The bird stared at Kadyn but didn't speak. He curled his lips. ”So you 'are' from another world, huh?”
”How do you know about another world?” the bird asked. ”You aren't powerful enough to come into contact with the secret of ascending.”
”Ascending?” Kadyn looked surprised. It was the first time he heard such a word. ”What do you mean?”
The bird glanced at him and then shook its head. ”It's not a good thing for you to know some things, or the karma will come back to bite you.”
”Hey, come on,” Kadyn said in irritation. ”Talk in a way I can understand, at least. Anyways, can you tell me about the world you came from?”
”Nope.”
”...”
”How did you come into this world?”
”Not a chance.”
”Why… did you come here?”
”Forget it.”
”What do you want from me?”
