Chapter 395 - THE TIMID BUT DECISIVE LHORIS (1/2)

LHORIS was exactly as how that NPC at the train in Dream Land that Luo Yan talked to described. Well, aside from that absence of glasses and his hair being white instead of blond.

He seemed to be looking around, as if checking the barrier that was already destroyed by Shen Ji Yun. Then his gaze turned to the destroyed black stone on the ground.

Luo Yan could see the NPC's body visibly shook.

Then Lhoris raised his head and looked at them. ”You- you—” But he stopped when his gaze landed on Luo Yan. ”A moon elf?” But his surprised tone completely changed when he saw Shen Ji Yun. Even without seeing his eyes, one could tell that he was horrified to the extreme. ”A Qilin?”

Luo Yan used this opportunity to walk forward and introduce himself. ”Good day, Mr. Lhoris. I apologized for our sudden unannounced visit and for the destruction of your private property. But this is an emergency. We need to discuss something of utmost important with Mr. Lhoris. So, we could only do it this way. I hope Mr. Lhoris can show a little bit of understanding.”

Lhoris seemed to be trying to calm himself down. He seemed to want to retaliate. But at the end, he could only sigh and said in a voice full of reluctance, ”You go in first.”

Luo Yan raised one of his brows when he heard that. It seemed that the character design of this NPC was the type that would compromise once he knew that there would be no other choice for him but to do so. Just like how he easily let them in like this. Probably because he couldn't win against the Qilin. He appeared to be timid but decisive enough in making decisions. Like resigning from his job at Tropical Land or even using the monsters here as some kind of defense to protect him.

It meant that as long as Luo Yan played it right, he could probably get Lhoris to talk and tell whatever he wanted to know.

They walked towards the cabin. Before Lhoris followed them, he raised his hand and another invisible barrier appeared surrounding the cabin.

Luo Yan, of course, noticed this small movement of Lhoris. He probably did that so the next batch of monsters that would appear would not accidentally destroy the cabin. He then looked around when they entered. The interior of the cabin was very simple. There was no extra furniture. Only standard things like table, chair, etc.

”You can sit anywhere you want,” they heard Lhoris said who had already sat down on a chair.

Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun also did the same, sitting on the two chairs opposite the moon elf. Eclipse happily sat down on his master's lap, transforming himself into a black ball with his fluffy head buried.

”How did you find out that I'm here?” the moon elf asked, looking at them.

”The Elder of our village told us that you were currently working at Tropical Land. We went there. But sadly, you already resigned. So, we interviewed the people working at the amus.e.m.e.nt park, looking for someone who could tell us your whereabouts. Until we met Mr. Alen. He told us about the possibility that you might be here,” Luo Yan explained.

Lhoris seemed to be surprised when he heard the name of Alen. ”That Alen, how could he tell strangers where I was?” he grumbled.

”It's because Mr. Alen is worried about you,” Luo Yan said. ”He said that if you let yourself get hurt, he will kill you himself.”

A small smile crossed Lhoris' lips, it's so imperceptible no one would probably notice it if they didn't stare at him. ”That's certainly something Alen would say.”
