419 Reaching the Heavenly City (1/2)

Sleeping in an underground hole made me miss the morning!

Rushing back to the village by recalling what kind of road did Jeleria took me through, I hoped that my guide wouldn't be busy with his newfound sweetheart, making him salty after I would pull him out of her and forced to do what he offered himself to do! After all, I was the one who made his childhood-friend-or-something even look at him, not to speak about her spreading her legs open for him, so now it was his turn to repay this favour!

\”You are finally back, sir!\”

Contrary to my expectations, the guy I was already cursing in my mind about, instead of getting busy with the girl standing right beside him, was patiently waiting in what most likely served as the village main square. With his usual clothes consisting of no clothes but a damned loincloth wrapped around his hips and a walking stick longer than the guy himself, he was the very picture one would have in mind when speaking about the lowest kind of beggars, travelling the world with nothing but hope that lucky encounter would change their fate from starvation to a bright future.

\”Yeah. I was held back for a while. Sorry for being late.\”

As soon as the greetings were done, the guy kissed his girl and moved forward.

\”There is no point in waiting around. While the city isn't really that far, it will still take us some time to arrive there.\”

Instantly moving forward, what I thought to be a walking stick, turned out to be yet another of those silly spears, most likely aimed at repelling the wild animals that would most likely come our way.

I guess, he was right in trying to do all he could to protect himself. Not only he never had the chance to see my fighting prowess with how our earlier potential fight turned into an orgy, but he also had to come back all the way by himself after dropping me off at the city!

\”You don't need to worry about going back. If we claim that I was a survivor from the continent that shows some strange hints of a hidden talent, you might be able to make them give you an escort back.\”

Rubbing the handle of my staff, I informed the guy while scanning the area with my energy vision. Just like on the Overlord's island, there was more than enough wildlife to feed a huge population out of it alone, also pointing out at the existence of rather formidable beasts.
