340 Unforgettable Experience at The Bathhouse (1/2)

”What do you think of our city, Big Brother Leonhardt?” Ironhead raised the topic while he led the way.

”The city is quite impressive. It is surprisingly clean, orderly, and spacious. Although it seems like each building are constructed randomly, they are actually nicely arranged with careful consideration.”

Leon gave Ironhead his honest thoughts as he praised the city.

He was under the impression that the city was being powered by formations. If he had a bird's eye view of the city, he would be able to confirm if it was indeed the case.

Furthermore, although the city was built with primitive means, the interior was far from what he had expected. The city's hygienic practice was surprisingly meticulous, and the air was much fresher than the outside.

He everything had to do with the formations of the place.

At the same time, he had a greater expectation for their Bathhouse. He was quite curious where the Darkmoon Tribe was procuring all their water source from when the Infertile Plains was so barren that any precious resource would be extremely scarce and valuable.

”Also, the city has a surprisingly pleasant scent. It does not have a stench at all. Many demonic beast blood and bones should have been used in the construction of this city, right? How did you guys get rid of the bad smell?” Leon asked with interest.

”Hahaha, Big Brother Leonhardt has a very keen eye and a keen nose to have noticed these small details. This is all thanks to the efforts of our Venerable Shamans and their divine powers.” Ironhead said with a proud look.

Shamans?

Leon's eyes flickered ever so slightly at the unfamiliar term, but he was not in a hurry to ask in case Ironhead finds it strange.

Shortly after, Ironhead continued to boast, ”On these lands, Big Brother Leonhardt will not be able to find many tribes with a city comparable to ours.”

”Is that right? I did find it strange that such an impressive city actually existed on these barren lands. This is undoubtedly an awesome feat and a work of miracle. You have every right to boast about it.”

Leon had not seen the other tribes, but he had to agree with Ironhead's boast. With these people's lifestyle, he had expected the city to be reeking with blood and sweat. But that was indeed not the case.

”We're here. This is our public Bathhouse. Feel free to use it for as long as you like, Big Brother Leonhardt. This place is free of charge.”

”Oh right, in case you are not familiar with our signs, the left sign is for men only, while the right sign is for women only. However, if you are looking for a bit of excitement, you can just go ahead and head down the middle and use the mixed bath.” Ironhead said as he gave Leon a cheeky grin.

”Hahaha! Obscene? No, no, no. This is actually pretty normal here. Everyone mainly uses the mixed bath. Rarely, does anyone ever use the other baths.” Ironhead laughed heartedly.

”You probably don't want to see me bathing, right? Do you want to head inside for now?” Leon asked on the surface.

In truth, he was afraid that Lumi would continue to say things that Ironhead would find strange.

”Of course not!” Lumi rolled her eyes at him before saying, ”Quick, let me inside. I want to go see Little Big Sister.”

”Little Big Sister…”

Leon smiled wryly and nodded. Shortly after, Lumi vanished right in front of Ironhead's eyes as she entered the Worldspace.

”This… Big Brother Leonhardt, where did she go?” Ironhead was surprised the Banshee's sudden disappearance. Vengeful spirits should not have such abilities, right?

”She… went into my spiritual world. I'm a Spirit Tamer.” Leon lied with a straight face.

”Spirit Tamer? I've heard of a Beast Tamer, but what is a Spirit Tamer? Is it something similar?” Ironhead asked.

”Something like that.” Leon nodded before changing the topic with a casual question, ”Water must be abundant for your tribe to be this extravagant with its usage. Is this also thanks to the Venerable Shamans?”

He could hear the overflowing sound of water inside the Bathhouse. Also, he had seen the waterworks system that transfers water to various parts of the city.

After the question was raised, Leon began to grow nervous due to Ironhead's brief silence. Had he misspoken?

However, Ironhead cracked a smile and laughed while patting Leon's back, ”Hahaha! You are a funny guy, Big Brother Leonhardt. Who doesn't know that water can only be procured from the underground water vein?”

Leon was startled at the revelation, but he did not show it on his face as he also smiled and laughed, ”Hahaha, I was only joking.”

”Hahaha, alright. Big Brother Leonhardt can go on ahead and use the Bathhouse. I would also like to join you and wash these wounds of mine, but I need to go arrange your accommodations first.” Ironhead said.

”You can still do that after, right?”

”No can do. You are our benefactor, friend, and guest. We will be a bad host if we have to make the guest wait.” Ironhead said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Leon was a bit speechless.

It was not like he was going to rest after he washes. He still wanted to explore the city and try to fish for information about his adoptive mother, Mia, and the others' whereabouts.

Although he found the person to be rigid, he did not hate this kind of person as he smiled and said, ”Alright, I won't try to convince you otherwise then. However, you must start dropping the 'big' and just call me Brother Leonhardt. I am not accustomed to being called a big brother.”
