Chapter 46 (2/2)
‘I'ht have started a conversation at least; he ended up thinking about his friends and the Yi siblings on continued on
Seol Ji-Hu watched the brown scenery pass by while resting his chin on his hands, before shi+fting his gaze to the other passengers
There were three other people riding on the wagon, besides himself and the driver, Maktan They were travelers just like his, too
The bald African dude sitting next to Seol Ji-Hu while yawning out constantly, boasted a huge physique and was kitted out in sturdy-looking arht his interest
For soer on the opposite side with narrowed eyes
Seol Ji-Hu followed after that -ishon the other side He seeet-up and the discoloured cape on his back
And next to him was an attractive wobow on her back She had her ars crossed as well, her head rhyth in slumber
Just as Seol Ji-Hu discovered hints of freckles on her nose, a husky voice of the African man suddenly ca the wohtly
Her sleep must not have been that deep, as she slowly raised her head to glare with a crumpled expression
”What, me?”
Her unhappy tone of voice implied how irritated she was by the man's attempt to wake her up, just as sleep was about to eood, isn't it?”
The woman maintained her cold expression, but the corners of her eyes arched up slightly
”Well, I was in Scheherazade because of this guy, after all”
”Because of a bow?”
”There were this and that to take care of, too”
”I can see that it's a longbow designed for war… You, by any chance, are you a level 4?”
The woman shook her head
”Nope Level 3 I'm a Tracer”
”Ohh, a tracker, huh Different than how you look”
She coyly narrowed her eyes at the black man's amazed exclamation
”Did you wake me up because you wanted to ask me that?”
”Well, I was curious, that's all”
”Don'to back toher thorny reply, the blacklike this when you knohat's up already? How etting bored anyway, Seol Ji-Hu was focusing on this conversation, only to tilt his head slightly
”…Eh-”
The wo aat her mouth
”Five coins Nickels”
”Aren't you a confident one What about going all the way?”
She swept her gaze all over the axe-wielding warrior before snorting out
”It's pretty hard to find a muscle brain with substance to back it up”
”You will only find out if it's the right length or not after taking a look, right?”
The axe warrior slapped his sizeable thigh a couple of times, but the woman shook her hand around
”Don't want to Don't have a hobby of doing it on a on”
”I'll add one more nickel coin How about it?”
”I still don't want to If you don't like it, forget about it, then I wouldn't have agreed if it weren't for e warrior licked his lips then quickly pulled out the coins frohtly caught the up fro to Seol Ji-Hu with her chin
”Excuse me, let's switch”
Seol Ji-Hu dazedly swapped the seat with her She then placed her side on the big warrior's thigh
”How about touching?”
”You can't go low And theto kill you”
”Holy cow Aren't you a fierce one?”
The warrior chuckled jovially before inserting his large hand under the woman's top
Fondle, fondle
The youth dazedly watched on, before realising that the woman had lowered her head on the warrior's crotch, and ended up hiccupping out of sheer shock He belatedly turned his eyes away
‘W, what the hell are they doing now?!' (Seol Ji-Hu)
His heart began pounding hard Was this the so-called culture shock? The inside of his brain beca he couldn't have i all this unfold with a disinterested expression But, when he saw the young , a soft grin replaced that bored expression
”First ti like this?”
”…Oh, yes It is” (Seol Ji-Hu)
The Priest glanced at Seol Ji-Hu's two spears and spoke in a surprised tone of voice
”But, you look to be at least a level 2… Have you been staying in Scheherazade all this tih to nod his head
”Huh So, you were a gentle to Haramark, then?”
”That's correct” (Seol Ji-Hu)
Was Seolvoice sounded a bit like he wasthe youth?
”If it's your first time, please let them have some fun Unlike Scheherazade, in Hara, you see”
Seol nearly blurted out ”Roe
”You kno it is There's no television, there's no computers, whatever So, what is there for us to do here? Sure, you ot all those explorations and expeditions, but it's not like we can go on those all the time, now can we? In the end, we eat, drink, and fck~ We end up being more faithful towards our basic instincts Those are the only things we have as pastime, after all”
Seol Ji-Hu couldn't really sympathise with that notion, but he continued to nod his head Well, he had to do so fro on his nerves at the ht it was infinitely preferable to focus on chatting to a friendly Priest with a happy grin on his face, rather than looking at the pair of crazed and uninhibitedat it in a… public space
The young Priest continued to talk excitedly, before going, Oops, and offered his hand
”Naative Priest Frohtly, before shaking the offered hand
”Name's… Seol I'm a level 1 Warrior, from Area 1”
”Eh? Level 1?” (Alex)
Alex's jaw dropped to the floor, before laughing out loudly He placed his hand on his forehead
”Oh entlehtly poked the youth in the ribs with his elbow as a lewd grin foret to Haraet a shock of your life” (Alex)
Seol Ji-Hu could only s eyes
The trip beca to Alex As for the Priest, he got way too excited by the fact that the youth continued to listen to his stories, so he began telling Seol all sorts of things
In the on left the area of desolate wasteland and entered a new region
They arrived at Zahrah after sunset, just as Maktan said they would
After hearing that this was a village, Seol iined that Zahrah would be a collection of small rural hoot quite surprised by the size of the place
Alex explained that there ell over 1000 residents living here, and that one could even find governe He also said that one could find most of the daily necessities in the e had been receiving support froes were not like this one at all
Feeling fatigued froon for the whole day, Seol Ji-Hu went straight to the rented room in the inn after dinner
As this would be his first proper night spent in the Lost Paradise, this occasion should've held a lot of sentimental value, but it turned out to be rather disastrous, instead
The building itself was rather fliot to hear the axe warrior and the Tracer lady going at it the whole night long Blocking his ears didn't prevent hiroans of the man nor the et to rest properly, and while carrying a totally fatigued face, he cliot ready to depart in the early dawn
Seol Ji-Hu couldn't help but feel a bit angry at theto each other, but as soon as the trip got underway and the wagon left Zahrah, such thoughts slowly evaporated from his ed radually covered up by grass and plants, and soon, even treesafter that for trees tall enough to block out the sky to appear, too
The road beca scenery while drinking in the smell of nature had its own appreciable charm After he breathed in the cool, clean air, the sleep that he didn't get to enjoy earlier on slowly crept up on Seol
If there was another thing that had changed, then that would be the attitudes of the axe warrior and the Tracer woot closer to Haramark
The axe warrior didn't try to initiate lewd conversations any longer, while the Tracer woman sat quietly as her eyes became sharper and focused
”Get some sleep It'll be fine We should be okay for the next half a day or so” (Alex)
Seol Ji-Hu's eyes closed softly after getting the perht the Archer lady sleeping on the wagon was so, but now, he was confident that he'd fall asleep just like she had done
‘I e could arrive at Haramark as soon as possible…'
And so… how much time passed by?
”…What happened?”
”Keep your voices down”
”Wake him up…”
”Wait, that…”
Seol was still half-asleep when he thought he heard voices Then, he felt someone shake him by his shoulder
When he woke up fro he saas a dark forest And, although it was just his intuition, it see at a far quicker speed for some reason
”Wake up, Seol!” (Alex)
”Mister Alex?” (Seol Ji-Hu)
”You up? Uh?”
”Where…?” (Seol Ji-Hu)
Just before Seol could finish his question, Alex placed his finger against his lips and signaled that he should keep his voice down Seol Ji-Hu closed his s
‘A forest?'
That wasn't the only alar around with his axe, as an uneasy expression remain etched on his face
More ihtly to the floor of the wagon at thehard; anxiety was easy to see in her facial expression
