Chapter 119 - Arrival At Brute Cavern (3)
The cold wind on the highlands removed heat from their bodies rapidly like sharp knives taking away blood.
Today was the sixth day of the latter half of the Month of Harvest. They did not know Brute Cavern was located on highlands, so most people were wearing shorts and light clothing. Now, the cold air made them shiver like mad.
“Gods beyond. Not a single soul around? Are we abandoned?” A young man wearing black and white striped cotton hat knelt down and yelled. He even went down sprawling as he cried.
The knight sword wrapped in tattered cloth on his waist hit the ground along with his action, creating a loud and clear metal noise.
“Ah… It’s so painful to be abandoned. How my heart pained. Oh no, I’m not going to make it…” He rolled on the ground in an exaggerated manner.
People around him slowly moved away while claiming that they did not know this man at all.
A bulky man with handlebar mustache crouched beside him with a smile, “Hey, I saw some winter flowers over there. We can make a good dish using ketchup and oxtail tenderloin.”
Angor remained calm. He secretly glanced at somewhere in the sky as he talked to them slowly, “I’m not sure. I think they want us to wait, and it won’t take long. Take it easy.”
Angor put a hand on Sailum’s shoulder to comfort the boy.
They felt something weird in those words, but that was about it. People did not give it much thought.
Well, except for three people. Nausica seemed to be considering something carefully upon hearing Angor, but she got rid of her expression soon and put on her usual joyful attitude.
Orlando was the second one. He had a strange and childish character, but he still realized something.
The third one was Balba. As a half-blood from another world, Balba possessed both raw, otherworldly strength, and the same level of intelligence of humans, if not better.
“Thanks!” Nausica expressed something to Angor secretly using lip language.
On the other side, Orlando and Balba also nodded to Angor in acknowledgment. They did not say anything, but at least they revealed friendliness.
Angor smiled mildly at their reaction. He meant it when he said he did not know what was going on, just…
He glanced at a certain direction in the sky again and sighed helplessly.
