Chapter 1674: A Morning Guest



Shara followed Ning's motions in the firelight, moving the spear ever so slowly to do exactly what he showed or what he said.

"Stab!" he said as he gestured to what she had to do with his own body. He didn't have a spear, but he did have a piece of stick they had found that he used to teach her.

Shara stabbed forward with both her hands.

"Hold."

Ning walked over to her nudged her right elbow up a bit and lowered her left elbow to the side. "Use your shoulders and then your entire body. That's where the power behind the stab comes from."

He moved to the other side. "Now pull back."

Shara did as told.

"And back at ease."

She got out of her fighting stance, holding the spear next to her.

"Now, close your eyes and do what you just did."

Shara followed Ning's instructions and learned how to hold and use the Spear. She was getting used to the spear for now, understanding its weight, length, and balance.

After what felt like an eternity of training, Ning took the spear back.

"That's all for today," he said.

"What?" Shara looked at him. "I can continue still. I am not tired yet."

Ning nodded. "I'm sure you're not, but your body needs time to understand what you did today. You used muscles you haven't used in your life, so tomorrow, your body is going to ache so much that you will want to sleep in the cart forever."

"When you complain to me about it, then we will train."

"Greetings, friend. May I ask where you are headed toward," she asked.

Ning looked at the woman closely, noticing her very feminine face but somehow her acts were so masculine. "South," he answered, saying no more.

"Great. I am heading south too," she said. "I need to go to Jameen for a job there. Will you be traveling by the city by any chance?"

"What if I was?" Ning asked.

"Oh, I wanted to ask if you could let me ride on your cart by any chance," she said.

Ning frowned a little. "You wish to ride in my cart? What's wrong with the horse?"

"Oh, she's just been running most of the night so she is a little tired. She needs rest, but I can't stop. So I wanted her to walk by herself while I rode in your cart."

Ning thought for a moment. The possibility of this woman being part of the people who were looking for him was low. There was an accent to her words that was different from those people. She was definitely not from the same place as them.

But then, she could also be a bandit. The chances of that were quite high.

"Ning?" Shara woke up to the sound of their conversation. "What's going on?"

"This lady here wants to ride with us, she says," Ning said.

"Ride with us?" Shara asked. "To where?"

"Jameen, young miss," she said.

Shara gave a confused look. "Where is Jameen?" she asked.

Ning shrugged and looked back toward the woman. "Truth is, we don't know where Jameen is. We're just headed south."

"Oh... Jameen is the next town over south," she said. "It's located at the base of the mountains of Lenes. If you continue going down this road, you'll get there in half a day."

"Unless you plan on diverting at any point, that is where you are going too."
