Twenty-four days of borrowed time left
Now I could move as fast as a predatory carnivore if I flew indistance It still took ecoach ride to the capital
Now the problem was, could I enter the toithout any trouble? There was the usual barrier around the town I could only get in through the ate
From what I could see of it from afar, it looked quite developed There was a train line running through it
Then the train oes, norecoach' instead? I'd probably understand once I got in The thing is, this was a decently large town The gate guards here were a loteveryone's faces
Just er proble out the pitchforks right on the spot
…would sie ride? As I continued walking in conte a blood-soaked lump of flesh by the roadside
He looked… creepy Scratch that, he looked outright dangerous
The lu blood in his left hand was a head, horned and savage-looking He was calling at all the horse carriages and travelers passing by With howhe looked, it was no surprise all of theerous Man] [Race: Huic Points (MP): 142/150] [Hit Points (HP): 200/200] [Total Co!

”Wat iz it?”
”You already said that! And why are you pinching your nose this tiain, what?”
Annoyed, but also realizing the conversation was going nowhere, the re head One silver's fine”

”Hy don't yu go dere yourselph?”
”Stop pinching your nose already… Sure I want to, but unluckily,all my identification and money I can only meet up with them inside the town You see the proble the town needed to have either an identification card or theto get a silver coin by selling the ogre head to passers-by
He was probably froh
”Why did you split up with theht I had so a little bit, then I saw this ogre Pretty much just jumped off the horse and hunted it down on a spur-of-the- Didn't think it'd lead hed boisterously
I really sympathized hoever ith him…
”So the entrance fee is one silver coin?”
”What, you didn't know? The silver's the fee to make a temporary identity card If you et that silver refunded”
”Hirl, buy the head for me”
”Let's see… How about I lend you a silver, and you help et inside the town?”

”I see Packers do tend to be misunderstood I'm a Child of God too, I understand how it feel to be the target of envy”
Apparently, shop owners who didn't knoorked were often afraid that the poould make it easier for Packers to shoplift, when in fact they could only expand their bag capacity They couldn't h I was storing the items inside my body, after all
”By the way,of Fire The fire I create would be stronger, and I would be unharmed by any and all flames”
