Chapter 2319 Annoying
"I will think about it and let you know," Alex told the staff after some thought and left the place. He visited the other smaller place, but they didn't have a single Emerald Raven. There was one, but it was a Divine realm raven, so that didn't count.
And Alex couldn't do to it what he did with the blood. It was simply too difficult for him, at least with his current expertise.
After two entire weeks of roaming the continent, Alex was forced to get put on the list so he could eventually at least have a chance to get the feathers.
But, he didn't let that be his only alternative. So, to try his luck and see if things have changed yet, he decided to return to where he started. The Beast Court Sect. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Alex didn't contact Scarwolf. He didn't need to. He knew where he had to go now, so he directly went there.
He arrived at the wooden house that had marks of violence outside of the house. It didn't seem to be anything huge, but someone had attacked, and the place had now become worse than before.
Alex walked up the wooden stairs and knocked on the wooden wall of the house.
"Go away!" a grumbling voice came from inside. "Senior Fuzhen, if you sell me your tail feathers, I will happily leave," Alex shouted back.
"Damn you and damn whoever put my damn feathers as an ingredient," the man said. "Now leave me alone."
"Will you not sell me your feathers, senior?" Alex asked.
"No, go away."
"I see. I shall take my leave then," Alex said. "But please consider it again. I will come by tomorrow."
Alex returned to the edge of the city the next day and asked the old man to sell him his feather.
"You again," the old man grumbled. "I told you I am not selling you anything."
"I can pay you a lot of spirit stones, senior. I'm desperate."
"Go away. Stop disturbing me," the old man shouted at him.
"Okay," Alex said. "I will come back tomorrow."
"No, don't come back at all."
Alex didn't listen. He would be back tomorrow at the exact same time. He would do that until the old man broke and gave him the feathers.
'Assuming he doesn't kill me first,' Alex thought. He had learned a bit of the rules surrounding the sect from Scarwolf, and one of the things that was simply not allowed was to hurt an outsider within the city.
If the outsider was causing trouble, they had to report to the sect's elders instead of taking matters into their own hands.
The sect elders, mostly the low-level ones, handled most of everything in such situations. But in these places where the disciples that stayed were practically being bullied into moving out, they weren't helped as much.
They would interfere if the outsider was causing a ruckus, but simply annoying someone was not something they would deal with.
At least, that was what Scarwolf told him, and he believed the man for now.
Still, the chance that the old man wouldn't just kill him if he kept annoying him for a long time was ever present, so Alex remained careful. He had treasures ready to defend him at a moment's notice.
With that many defensive options, Alex was absolutely certain he wouldn't die even after persistently requesting to purchase the beast's tail feathers multiple times a week. So, he proceeded to do just that.
