Chapter 289 - Entering The Village (2/2)

It was a rather big village, although it was not big nor known enough to be considered a city, it had many facilities. It was considered a meeting point for adventurers or a place to stay for travelers while also being a tourist location.

The village had many uses and due to it being close to the border, it had many visitors. One of them was the young man who was being stopped by the guards right now.

”I already told you the requirements.” Replied the guard calmly

He was tall, no shorter than 190. He wore a strange blue Armour which seemed to be made of a durable metal along with a helmet which covered his face. A long sword resided on the sheathe on his waist and as a shield was placed tightly around his back.

”And I told you I am the A-Rank adventurer, Hexo!” The young man responded

”Then where is your card?” The guard asked unconvinced.

With a slight change in his expression, Hexo,seemingly more nervous, looked away as he muttered ”I already told you, I lost it…”

”Then there's nothing I can do, you should know how important that card is for an A-Rank, am I wrong?” The guard asked

Hearing this, Hexo had no choice but to give up. ”Fine, I'll just go look for it…” He muttered as he let out a sigh

The guard felt bad, but he had no choice. His duty was to keep the city safe.

With a saddened and worn out expression,Hexo slowly made his way back through the line, there were many people but he paid attention to none of them.

The only thing on his mind at that moment was what he was going to do to about his card, it wasn't the first time he had lost it.

”Damn… Old man's really going to chew me out for this one…” He muttered as he put his on his waist

He then let out another sigh and took a few more steps when suddenly, in that instant, he felt it.

It was just for a moment, just a single moment, but in that moment, he felt an extremely dangerous hidden presence. It was as if his life was being grasped by two cold sharp, sinister hands, colder than ice.

With his eyes widened, the man turned to the left and saw another man, with spiky long pitch-black hair, a worn out cloak and a blindfold walk past him. They were around the same height.

the young man looked normal, but for some reason, Hexo couldn't calm down. His heart was racing in fear as dread seeped into his bone.

”…”

”I hope I don't see him again.” He muttered with a serious expression

Just as he said that, he turned to his side and noticed a girl acting strange. She seemed to be keeping a distance from the young man as she stared at him. She had stopped right beside Hexo.
