Chapter 59: Lychester Conflict (2/2)
"Take this you poor filth" Lychester screalee as he stomped on Kyle's back "Rot in prison!"
Eventually the two guards cuffed and dragged hi him to the Orcho faster than it started, the larger groups that were hovering around just to see so past Kyle's folloithout being recognised, Merlin stepped into the store There he saw the fat ht red and several veins looked to be on the verge of bursting A small trace of blood could be seen on the corner of his inable, he attacked an NPC in a town
This was better for Merlin, as it wouldn't take ers to think Kyle had killed a man or two He'd probably be released by next session, so he had plenty of tiet you?" Arwell spoke out, not see before him
"Hey there, could I buy two flasks of lantern oil please?"
"That'll be two silver pieces" He spoke in a straight-forward, yet somewhat rude tone, but the next part was spoken under his breath, just loud enough for Merlin to hear "Unless you've got an issue with that?"
Merlin finished off the purchase while ignoring Lychester's further remarks about his coht silver pieces and six copper
He waved goodbye and left the store,sure his hood was used to hide his face When he left the store, he noticed that within the few minutes he was inside, the crowd had coered
Heonce more The eyes that fell on him were much softer than usual, more filled with suspicion than hatred Merlin didn't understand the change until he realised that his hood was still on, and the second he re returned to norreeted Merlin once more, "You leave for a few minutes and an issue occurs in tohere you show up, would that happen to be a coincidence?"
"I just went to buy a couple things, that was happening long before I got there" Merlin defended hih the bartender was spot on His intuition was incredibly sharp, scarily so "Not everything bad that happens in the world is h technically the truth, it wasn't like he wasn't currently cursed with both the chance he'd be attacked by a ht, and from what he understood froical, and possibly catastrophic, phenomenon wherever he went
"So, how can I help you?" The bartender shrugged off Merlin's words and went back to his routine duty
"The priestess pointed me in the direction of a noble household There is a ru with this curse for several years now, they ht have ideas for the fix for my curse" Merlin flashed his purple arht had been co for the residence of the Redht, I can point you in the direction" The bartender nodded as he spoke
"Could I get any ruside this request?" Merlin abruptly added in He wanted to get past the gate and have a conversation with the guy, it was i, or at least so about him
"Well, he's in a moderately-sized mansion built near the market area, it's hard to miss" The bartender explained, "As for ruold pieces on lantern oil on a weekly basis It has been causing issues with the guards being unable to acquire enough fuel for the town street lights"
"There are also ru the day and is only active at night But even when he is active, he never leaves the confines of his home Instead, all his interactions with the outside world are through his servants, they are often seen about town perfor various tasks, they act as his eyes, ears and hands in Orchomenus" The bartender continued, "There are rumours that a servant was thrown out of the house and al a lamp off She fled the toith her child, and we haven't heard from her since"
