Chapter 134: Back to Macedonia (2/2)

"Take care" Merlin waved as he left the roouild building, he noticed that it was starting to becoht time once more, so he wanted to see the ruins once ain

As Merlin walked quite a distance away, he noticed that a few villagers in the area were getting rowdy He turned around to see a group start for on, but before he could get close he saas just Callisto h even from a distance he could tell that she was hurt, , and that she was covered in scratches

'She ht to hi reckless because her expedition parties keep getting hurt'

It was the unfortunate fate of a leader who cared too much about the individuals under their coh her attitude could be quite abrasive at times, was quite a softhearted individual

She clearly cared for everyone in the rangers guild, but was cold to outsiders, especially nobles, which was sooing back and talking to her, he figured that he would just do it later if it ever caain, it wasn't like he needed to explain himself anyway

Merlin made his way over to the ruins, particularly the stone door fra, he noticed that the words weren't lighting up anyot the quest, or does it only light up on a fullof all the possibilities that would cause this change, but he could only confidently think of these two "I guess the only way to figure out which one it is, would be to wait for another fulland an his journey to Macedonia, heout onto the dark road

On his long trip, he was te in the night

"I could just replace hter soul" He ood ability I'd be passing theht vision and perception bonuses"

He was lost in thought as he continued walking, thinking that perhaps it'd be best if he ether to save space

"Thief and fighter ht?" he mumbled to himself "I doubt either of these souls would be coht ith a thief"

He eventually put off the idea,to hunt down hundreds of owls right now, but also because he didn't feel like changing any of his souls out, or adding another soul slot which would reduce his level and make further level ups difficult

Eventually heany h the city towards the sluuards that were patrolling the area seemed to have let up, so Merlinsure he wasn't followed

He made his way down a dark alleyway and entered the old bar, where Fae was standing around pouring one of her security members a drink

"Oh, hey Ghost, it's been a while" She said while placing theer ould have started thinking you died"

"Really? I thought the boss knew that travellers were essentially immortal" Merlin retorted "Anyway, is he in the usual spot?"

"Yes" Fae responded, walking hi him in

Merlin quickly located the elf in his favourite spot, drinking the same liquor he usually drank

"I worry for that man's liver" Merlin accidentally mumbled out loud

"Yeah" Fae responded in a sad tone that seemed extremely out of character for her, an emotion she hadn't yet shown

Before Merlin could even think of pressing that issue further, Fae quickly vanished back up the stairs, resu her post as a bartender

'Wait, you can't just leave ht to himself as he watched Fae disappear behind a door 'I definitely felt a story co'

Merlin shook his head in disappointment, that was a question for another day
