Episode 47.2 (1/2)

The morning after, just when Lecan was about to head for Vouka, he recalled one issue.

Dragon's meat has started to rot.

The meat he got from the first time they defeated Dungeon Rotor's boss was processed at Mashajain but he already used up all of it way back then.

The second dragon's meat had been left in his <Storage> unprocessed, he would take some portions out whenever needed, but this one's already rotting.

He asked Manfrey about it, and according to Manfrey, only the outer part should be rotting, by shaving that part off the inner part should still be edible. The bigger the lump the harder its mana seeps out, so it doesn't rot as fast. Indeed, still good for eating even after more than one month is unthinkable for average animal meat.

Yet it didn't taste good when Lecan tried to grill the inner part of the meat. Actually, it's still good but it's clearly not as tasty as before.

Lecan gave all the dragon's meat he had left to Manfrey and departed to Rotor.

As Dungeon Rotor's dormant period is 40 days, it should have awakened by now.

He gotta get more dragon's meat. And process it right this time. That should make it last a year.

But dragon's meat completely slipped off his mind as he arrived at Rotor.

His eyes fell on the legs of a young man sitting on a table next to him as he finished making his order in a diner.

Lecan's eyes opened wide in surprise.

That young man has leg bands wrapped on both his legs. And the patterns engraved on those leg bands look very similar to the patterns on <Ring of Undying King> and <Talisman of Darkness Demon>.

(It's a <Genesiac Grace gear>!)

(The leg one should be, right... Err.)

(That's it. <Leg Bands of White Devil>. Found at Dungeon Egis.)

The young man was having meal. With a young woman sitting opposite of him on the same table. Despite having made his order, Lecan's food didn't seem like it'd come with how packed the establishment was. Before long, the young man and young woman finished their meal.

That was when Lecan's food was carried in. The young man and young woman left the diner. Lecan stood up, grabbed two big copper coins and handed them to the server.

”Sorry, got an urgent business to take care. Give that food to someone who wants them.”

”Eh? Ummm, sir?”

Lecan ignored the bewildered server and went after the two.

This town is full of people. He might lose them if they got too far away.

As both of them don't have mana, Lecan's scouting capability cannot detect them. He might lose them for real if he lost sight of them.

<Genesiac Grace Gear> don't emit mana, nor do they have specific traits that afford detection from distant locations. As such, there's no way to look for them besides a chance encounter like this. He cannot let this chance go to waste.
