Chapter 201 What's Her Name? 4

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.

And according to George, Inna's favorite word to use was 'fuck' which she also interchanges with 'shit' from time to time.

So, with that information, there's a big chance that the woman that the man behind them talked about was Inna.

But then again, it truly was impossible for her to cross either of the two paths and go to Anemoly.

Unless of course, someone helped her…

Not knowing the answers to his unending questions, Rod felt restless as his thoughts bothered him greatly.

Seeing both of their perplexed faces filled with inner conflict, Nol grunted in irritation.

"Ask them."

He spat as he poured fruit wine in his cup. Their faces and their confusion were starting to get irritating for him so he couldn't help but be frank.

"You won't get anywhere unless you ask. So, just ask."

Snapping out of his thought, Rod chuckled lightly as he patted Nol's arm with a small smile.

"Okay, okay. I'll ask. You guys wait here."

Rod gently got up on his table but before he decided to leave, he gave them a small playful glare.

"Don't eat my share, okay?"

Renee snorted as she looked at him with an incredulous expression.

"Like hell, we will. You're the one good at stealing food here, Rod."

Then, with an amused smile, Rod chuckled as he made his way to the table behind them.

When he arrived, the two men halted their conversation as they both looked at Rod with curious expressions.

"Uh, can we help you, good sir?"

The man who looked like an experienced magic-user asked meekly as he held a friendly smile.

On the other hand, the man across him, who looked like an expert fighter, sneered at Rod with suspicion in his eyes.

"You here to cause trouble?"

Rod was unfazed by the fighter's animosity as he spoke with a bit of shyness in his tone.

"Ah, uh… No, it's not my wish to cause any commotion. It's just that… my team and I couldn't help but overhear what you guys were talking about… I know it must be rude, dear sirs, but you've talked about something quite intriguing for us. And so, we couldn't help but approach you, good sirs, to ask for more details in hopes you'd be able to help us."

The fighter took another cup of wine before he turned to fully face Rod.

"What's this about?"

Rod saw his gesture as a sign for him to go on so he began to ask him some questions.

"Well, let's start with the sword. I'm an Edserian Adventurer and we bring this sword with us as proof of that. And I hear that there's another one who had the same sword? Was she perhaps the perpetrator for the trouble caused earlier?"

The fighter snorted as he recalled the commotion earlier.

"Well, she probably just stole that sword but yeah, she's the one who started the whole thing. When that woman was drunk, she suddenly started a scene and she dragged us into it. Then, some students got irritated and picked a fight with her. They held a duel, yada yada… And then, another student hit her and the royal guards came in and took the child. That's pretty much the gist of it."

Rod furrowed his brows as he listened on. He tried to find more clues that'll prove whether it really was Inna but the vague statements the fighter used did no good to Rod. When the fighter finished his story, he decided to be straightforward and ask the question he's been dying to ask.

"I see. So, uh, what's her name?"
