Chapter 322 - Radar
“Jason, care to explain what’s going on?” Lin Li’s expression darkened as he glanced outside the tent. Isn’t this too much? I only napped a bit and you appear with over 30 people who are nothing but a burden? If I took a longer nap, wouldn’t you have called on the entire city of Doland?
Lin Li really wanted to ask Jason if he knew what kind of place they were heading to. They were going to the ruins of Syer Town, the base Vanskore had painstakingly managed for the last 20 years! Even the Legendary mage Basel was somewhat wary of it, and you, Jason, want to stroll in with 30 or so people who are nothing but a burden to us? You going to a picnic or something?
“Well…” Jason brushed his nose sheepishly and avoided looking at his grumpy employer as he mumbled while looking down. “Leader Sienna is going to the ruins of Syer Town as well, so I thought there would be safety in numbers. If anything happens, we can look out for one another…”
When he mentioned “look out”, Jason gave Lin Li a glance, and even though he did not say anything more, his expression and demeanor gave him away. He was trying to say that traveling with the weak and cowardly Lin Li gave him tremendous burden; hence, now that he was presented with a group of men willing to join them for free, of course he jumped at the opportunity to travel with them…
“…” Lin Li almost exploded in anger. Of course, he understood what Jason was getting at. He was definitely alright with getting free manpower since he did that often himself, but the problem was, could Jason have better taste when doing that?
Do these adventurers look like decent manpower to you? The highest of them all is only level-14, while the lowest barely over level-10! Besides, is Syer Town a place for the missus of the castellan’s family to stroll? It may be one thing for these Adventurers to die there, but if the missus died as well, I’d like to see how you’re going to answer for it to the castellan of Roland City…
“Leader Sienna, you’re going to the ruins of Syer Town too?” Lin Li finally asked after staring at Sienna for a long while. Honestly, this young man was quite promising indeed: level-14 yet he was only in his twenties, and was the leader of such a big mercenary corps too. If presented with an opportunity, he might well become a distinguished figure in the Breezy Plains.
Norfeller moved so quickly that nobody could react to it, and all they saw was a black shadow before they heard some noise. Suddenly, a pile of white bones flew over, and a rusty machete coincidentally landed between Lin Li and Sienna.
“I wonder which bastard made up this rumor. Why would there be Undead creatures in Syer Town? Don’t worry, Leader Sienna, I’ll teach the bastard a lesson when we go back! How dared he make such a rumor, no conscience at all…” Lin Li denounced the culprit behind the rumor angrily, and never once turned to look at the Skeletal Warrior that had been torn apart.
“…” Sienna stood with a blank look as he opened his mouth to speak, but was at a loss for words. All he could do was stare at the shadow that was Norfeller as he tore apart the Skeletal Warriors that sprouted from the ground.
