Chapter 1643: A Small Scare



Ning tried to find sleep, but with the constant lurching of the carriage with the horses dragging it through uneven dirt roads, his sleep evaded him.

He simply lay there with his eyes closed for a while, trying to get some rest still.

Shara had begun small conversations with the woman and the young child who sat next to her, talking about how she and her brother were on their way to meet their grandparents.

The couple there suspected not a single thing. The others were busy with their own small talk, no one bothering Ning.

This would've been a great time to sleep if he could find it at all.

He spent nearly an hour doing nothing when the carriage came to a sudden halt. Ning wondered why they had stopped and quickly opened his eyes. He reached for the spear that was lay flat within the carriage and was ready to use it.

"We've come to river Loral. The carriage is too heavy to go across the bridge, so you will have to get off for a few minutes," the owner of the carriage said.

Ning got off the carriage and helped Shara off. They were near some sort of sparse wood and he saw the river that the carriage driver was talking about. It was barely a river at all. More like a stream.

But, the area was quite rocky and the bridge atop it was made up of wood. Heavy carriages could in fact break it.

"When are they going to fix this damn bridge?" one of the men said with a rather angry tone to his voice. "The road from Payland to Ternia is so much better than this, and the bridge is wide enough that it can allow up to 3 carriages at once. Meanwhile, this one barely allows a single one and we have to get off it too."

There were other complainers as well.

Ning simply listened to those complaints, taking it in. At the same time, he looked around, watching the woods for bandits. He could never be too careful.

As he was watching, he noticed something glinting atop the trees. It flashed for a split second before zipping far away. No one seemed to notice it. Only him.

'Was that... a Spirit?' Ning thought. He got a little worried.

There were two types of Spirits in this world. Since each Spirit had a specific reason why they remained behind, they were categorized into two.

'10?' he thought, surprised for a moment. Then he remembered what had happened.

'Right, Tima's quest,' Ning thought. He had gotten a point from helping Tima move on and hadn't bothered to check what he got from it.

He quickly glanced over the points shop for the first dozen or so items to see if anything new was added. There wasn't.

Then, he arrived at the new ones.

To Ning's surprise, quite a few new items had been added. More than any he had seen in a while for just 2 more points.
