383 The Death God Doesnst Exist Anymore (1/2)
A carriage moved slowly for the road thanks to two skinny horses, which was the best kind of horse available in a poor area like the one near the Death Mountain.
Only the elderly people and the children traveled inside the carriage with the rest walking around it.
That wasn't the best method to move, but there was only one carriage, and those who were inside wouldn't be able to endure the travel walking.
Besides the elderly and children, Yale was also inside the carriage. That wasn't because Yale couldn't walk or he was lazy, it was something the three families insisted.
Although they didn't know how strong Yale was, they knew that at least he was enough to defeat all the rest of them without effort after his show in front of the guards and he also showed incredible healing capabilities.
Due to those facts, they felt that the elderly and the children would be safer if they were next to Yale. Moreover, they also wanted to express goodwill towards Yale, and they felt that if some of the children were to obtain some pointers of him, it would be a joyful event.
Yale knew about the intentions of those three families, but he didn't mind about going inside the carriage at all.
”So, your birthday is next week?”
Yale was speaking with the two daughters of the skinny man while ignoring the rest of the children and the elders in the carriage.
After all, the only ones with a relation with Shirk were those of the skinny man family, and the elderly woman of the family didn't speak a lot because she felt deep respect for Yale after he healed the skinny man.
”Yes!”
The little girl who was about to turn ten grew close to Yale after the later saved her father previously. Yale remembered about Wyba when he saw her acting like a spoiled girl, so he was thinking of teaching her a bit after her birthday.
Yale had already recovered almost all his memories, so his teaching skills were those that could even make that Law Master, and Law Gods wanted to learn something from him.
Some teaching of Yale for that little girl would be enough to change her life. At least, it would be impossible for her to be inferior to anyone else in that escort team since even the strongest escort was still at the Apprentice Rank and there was no way that someone who Yale helped would end at such a low level.
”My birthday is next month!”
The other daughter of the skinny man was thirteen almost fourteen, and despite being more developed than her sister, she was still a kid in Yale's eyes.
That girl had been too close to Yale since they started the travel. Yale could understand her intentions since she used to hug Yale's arm at any chance and put it between her developing chest.
However, her efforts were doomed to failure because although Yale had got rid of the curse, he couldn't think of a little girl as a romantic target. Although he always treated children well, that was as a big brother or a father at most; Yale couldn't see them as women at all, and there was no way he could felt something romantic for them.
Thus, for Yale, the other girl acting like that was just a child trying to act like an adult and nothing more.
”I see. As a birthday present, I may give you two a bit of help with your training, what do you think?”
Everyone, regardless of being inside or outside the carriage, heard Yale's words and the reactions differed. The two girls hugged Yale in thanks, the grandmother of the two girls smiled, their parents outside the carriage wanted to cry of happiness, the children of the other families felt jealousy, and the adults regretted having failed to establish a better relationship with Yale from the first moment.
As for the guards, they hoped to become someday an expert like Yale and be capable of making girls hug them when they offered some pointers.
A week after that conversation, the situation hadn't changed at all, but the little girl was expecting her birthday as she would finally be able to start training.
She was the youngest of the group, so she was the only one among the children who haven't started to train. The others were mostly 1-star mortals or 2-star mortals, so for a someone like Yale there wasn't a big difference, but those kids treasured every bit of strength they could obtain.
The carriage stopped at night like they did every day. The horses were already at their limits by stopping only twice each day, so there was no way they could skip a stop.
The escorts were all patrolling near the camp made by the families, and they took turns to eat a bit before returning to work.
Of course, Yale didn't need to do something like that and was sat with the members of the three families although he wasn't eating anything because he didn't need to do it at all.
Moreover, even if he wanted to eat for pleasure, he wouldn't want the few supplies those families had since Yale had more than enough food stored. Yale had even given some extra food to the two girls when no one watched because he felt that it would be bad to eat so little with their ages.
