Chapter 2133 - Locking Down the Possible Areas (2/2)
Zhao Manyan was confused. He did not understand why Mo Fan was trying so hard to disguise himself as a worker. Did it even matter if the other guests knew they were Mages? The chance of some strangers in such a remote place beating them up was almost zero, considering their strength!
“Something is odd about them. They are definitely doing some illegal stuff, so I’m quite curious,” Mo Fan explained.
“That’s quite a special hobby you have.”
The inn provided its guests with three meals; Harper was the one cooking all of them. It was strange how Harper was a lazy person, yet he was oddly patient when it came to preparing food, drinks, and fruits. He could spend a whole day cutting ingredients and cooking food while listening to music.
“Harper, are you sure the creature you saw had a cross mark on its back?” Mo Fan asked.
“Can I swear in the name of my grandmother?” Harper replied.
“You don’t have to go that far. Just swear that if you lie to us, you will be sexually impotent for the rest of your life.”
“You saved my life, I wouldn’t lie to you,” Harper said seriously.
“Alright, I trust you,” Mo Fan said.

They spent a few more days resting at the inn while Mu Bai and Lingling shared information remotely. Lingling eventually pinpointed a few possible locations.
Mu Bai sat in the common room of the house, wondering which spot they should wait at. They had found five possible locations, yet there were only the three of them, not to mention he was half-crippled now. It was impossible to keep an eye on every spot.
“You guys are being quite serious.” Harper had mixed some fruit cocktails. He leaned forward when he saw Mu Bai frowning in front of the laptop.
“We were never joking,” Mu Bai took the cocktail glass from Harper.
“You should leave these three spots out. Just focus on the other two,” Harper pointed at two of the locations after taking a quick glance at the map.
Mu Bai turned and looked at Harper. Harper was displeased by Mu Bai’s reaction.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to hook up with the ladies? I’m smarter than most people. I grew up close to the Aegean Sea, and I worked in a lot of forestry stations. I’ve planted olive trees and roses before. I also planted poppies when I was desperate for money, so I know the areas where you can find them; I only stopped doing it because it’s harmful to young ladies. Otherwise, I would be a hundred times richer than your blond friend. I might be poor, but I have a conscience!” Harper exclaimed.
“I could never tell that you had learned the importance of protecting future generations. Why do these two spots have the highest possibility?” Mu Bai’s impression of Harper had changed a little.
“There are many wild poppies on this island. I remember moving some of them in the past, but the water nearby is very shallow. It’s easy for ships to get stranded, so we rarely go there. The Tyrant Titans are massive sea creatures, and prefer deeper waters. Even though they have long legs to move on the land, if they are in deeper waters, they can easily escape into the sea and move more freely,” Harper explained.
“So they won’t go to this island, because the water is shallow?” Mu Bai asked, pointing at it.
“Mm, they might raid it, but they won’t treat it as a feeding ground. They won’t go over here, either. The Tyrant Titans aren’t fond of snakes. This place has the biggest sea snakes from Africa, who like to come to the Aegean Sea for vacation.
“As for this one, you have obviously not been to it in person. There are only fake poppies there.”
Mu Bai shook his head helplessly after hearing Harper’s explanations.
He would never beat a local’s knowledge, no matter how much preparation he had!
