Chapter 1675: Oly



Ning thought for a bit. "Would you give me a moment to converse with my sister?" he asked. "We will decide whether to take you with us or not."

The woman nodded. "Of course, please decide."

"Thank you," Ning said and went back to the cart with Shara.

'What are we doing?' Shara asked. 'Are we going to let her come with us?'

'I don't want to, but the truth is we need more people with us,' Ning said. 'Just two people on the road, one a girl and another a man without a left arm is too easily noticeable. If we add her, that's a group of 3.'n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shara thought for a moment and nodded. 'If you say so. That does sound good and all.'

'And of course, she will only be with us for the day,' Ning said.

'What if she is a bandit though?' Shara asked. 'Surely we're not going to go right into a trap, are we?'

'Hopefully not,' Ning said. 'I will try to ask people on the way if we're on the right track.'

Shara nodded. 'That should be doable then.'

They talked for a few more minutes and then went back to the woman who had been waiting for them patiently. "Oh, have you two decided?" she asked.

"To Jameen only, right?" Ning asked.

"Just Jameen," the woman said.

"Alright then, you may join us," Ning said and gave out his right hand for a shake. "I'm Maurice."

The woman smiled and grabbed his hand. "Oly," she said simply.

However, Ning only had the question of if they were going in the right direction. The man answered that they were on and moved on.

Ning and Shara felt relieved that they hadn't let a liar get into the cart.

Oly was still asleep for half a day before she got up past noon. She woke up, looking around. She seemed confused as to where she was at first but then remembered what she was doing there.

"Oh, hey. Did I sleep for too long?" she asked.

"It's been about 7 hours," Ning answered.

"Oh... good," she said and looked back. "Ugh, she looks tired. I hope we reach soon. How far along are we?"

"I'm not sure," Ning said. "I don't know how long it takes to reach Jameen."

"If you aren't slow, you usually do it in half a day," she said and looked outside. "Hmm... I

don't recognize this place well enough to say how far along we are too."

"We are on the right track, are we not?" Ning asked.

"Oh yeah," she said. "Did we cross the large river yet?" she asked.

"River?" Ning asked.

"There's a river here that flows to the Bay of Riches. It's a wide one. I don't think we're there yet, so we should be getting there soon enough," she said. "When we do, can you stop for a moment, please? I need to wash up."

"Okay," Ning said. "Now that you are awake though, I wish to ask a question if you don't

mind."

"Sure, ask ahead," the woman said.

"Why are you in a hurry to go to Jameen?" Ning asked. "There is a reason why you rushed through the night in your horse, isn't there?"
