Chapter 194: Bridge* updated (1/2)
The scorching afternoon sun blazed overhead as Xinya and his friends made their way down the dirt road that would lead them to the town's centre. Although their stamina bar was low, their spirits were high, and a lively conversation could be heard going on between the four of them as they traveled through the lush farmland.
As the conversation began to lull, Xinya started to wonder how long it would take for them to pass through the rural district. Checking his map, he saw that it would be at least an hour before they even reached the bridge they needed to cross to get to leave this area.
He could only sigh at this because in another hour it will be dusk and the class trainers always leave their post at night. Now they would most likely have to wait until sunrise to register with them.
However, this setback really didn't bother Xinya that much, because unlike the others he didn't really have to register. The only thing he needed to do was locate his instructor Melvin and tell him he had arrived.
Although this might not bother him, he wasn't sure about the others. He had an inkling that Wei and Wandering Sound might be in a hurry to start their journey.
He didn't know why he felt that way since the two of them never said anything about wanting to leave after they finished their business in Arkala. However, for some reason, he was certain that they would, and he always trusts his instincts.
Even though Xinya would miss them he was already prepared for their absence. It wasn't like he would never see them again, plus he would get updates about what they are up to from Wei every time he logged out of the game.
Seeing the thoughtful expression on the green-haired man's face, Melting Snow asked, ”What are you thinking about, Drifting Cloud?”
”Me? ”Xinya responded, suddenly noticing that everyone's attention was on him. ”Well, I just looked at the map and realized it will take a while before we will reach the town's centre and wished that my cupcake covered wagon was functional.”
”That's right, you have a wagon! I almost forgot about you buying that thing.” Wei said. It completely slipped her mind that Xinya brought a transportation device, but it wasn't like anyone could blame her, a lot of stuff happened since then when Xinya told them about it.
Furrowing his brows, Wandering Sound asked, ” Why isn't it functional? I know that you told us before, but I can't remember what you said. ”
”It's because it's animal-powered. So it would need something like a horse or some other creature big enough to pull it.” Explained Xinya.
”Oh. I see,” Wandering Sound said, before questioning in a curious tone. ”Are you going to buy some kind of animal for it?”
While shaking his head, Xinya reached inside of his inventory and pulled out an egg, showing to others, ” I have a Dianna Sidhe egg. Once I hatch it I'm going to use it to be my wagon's mount. ”
”I know that egg!” Exclaimed Melting Snow in surprise. ”Isn't that the egg you got from the King Bellyborg?”
”You are correct, this is the one,” replied Xinya, a little bit stunned that the boy recognized the egg just by looking at it.
”King Bellyborg? What's that?” Wei asked, feeling a tad bewildered by the words coming out of their mouths.
Melting Snow was flabbergasted, he couldn't believe that she didn't know what kind of monster a King Bellyborg was. The video he recorded of him and Drifting Cloud fighting it went viral, how could she not have heard of it.
”You don't watch my videos do you?” The furry eared boy questioned.
”Nope, not at all,” replied Wei, with a sheepish smile.
Deciding to add his two cents into the conversation, Xinya said, ”If it makes any difference, I didn't watch the video either.”
”You don't need to see the video, you already witnessed the events first hand. ”Giving Drifting Cloud a quick look, Melting Snow rolled his eyes before turning his attention back to Roaming Wind.
