Chapter 201 Whats Her Name? 4 (1/2)
Rod stiffened as he heard the man mutter.
Three Edserian Swords?
He had one...
Nol had the other…
That makes them two…
So, who's the third one?
Curious, he couldn't help but eavesdrop further. And just as he wanted, the man behind them started to mumble more as he downed cup after cup of wine.
”Are they here to cause trouble again? Heavens, I went to this small village hoping to have some peace and quiet before taking up the next quest but to think we'd get involved into something troublesome. And I still can't fathom how a woman could act so unruly. Her man shouldn't have let her drink. See? I told you. Nothing good ever comes out of women drinking. It's common knowledge that women have lower tolerance towards alcohol and they have poor control of their emotions as well so making then drink is like being with an infant that vomits everywhere; it's messy and burdensome to look after.”
Then, a different voice spoke up behind them.
”She didn't look that drunk to me. I mean, she was able to fight that other student well. And she was able to break a spell with willpower alone which was quite impressive, to say the least.”
Then, Rod and the team couldn't help but jump slightly when the man behind them slammed his hand harshly on the table.
”She's drunk! I'm sure of it! If she wasn't, how could you explain the strange words she was spouting, hmm?! Deep-sheet? Fhawk? Fhawk-ing? Bastards? She even called me jesus christ! Never in my life have I been called by that name! And you tell me that she's not drunk? If she's not drunk, then she's just plain crazy!”
Hearing the foreign words, the team instinctively stiffened.
Did they hear him right?
Someone was actually using the strange words, 'bastard' and 'fuck' in a conversation?
Only one person would ever use such words in a sentence.
... Inna ...
Is she possibly here?! In this small village?
Impossible!
With widened eyes, the three looked at each other, unable to accept the possibility.
”It must've been someone else, no? It's impossible that she'd be able to cross the Poisoned Path with her mauled by the Golden Bear, and it's even more impossible for her to cross Heaven's cliff!”
Renee whispered fiercely as she tried to deny the possibility.
No matter how they look or analyze it, there's no way she could've escaped to Anemoly!
It would've been more likely if she escaped to Edseria instead! Tarnil was a million times nearer than Anemoly.
Rod knew that Renee had a point. The circumstances Inna was in truly made it impossible for her to make it to Anemoly, much less to this small village.
But…
Those strange words…
Only Inna would ever use that...
And they trusted that fact because, back when they were in the palace, George told them all about what he knew about Inna.
And apparently, Inna taught him some of her strange cursing languages.
'Bastard' is the word to curse a man.
'Bitch' is to curse a woman.
