Chapter 376 Slow Growth
"Do you have a problem with it?"
"Can I?"
Thard - Harl rolled the paper and tucked it into his belt. Raising his brows he enunciated:n(-OVelb1n
"Of course. I give the liberality for anyone to speak as far as they are willing and able to accept the consequences of their speech."
A cracking sound came from his fist.
"C'mon! How can you be so petty?! This is unfair. You are going to bring me into a strange community one I have no plans of becoming a part of. It is not like I asked to be a player?"
Thard - Harl tilted his head left and right wrenching out another cracking sound.
Raith's gaping mouth made no sound. He swallowed his spit and just closed it. Nor did he think anything from this point.
"So what are we doing?"
The asura smiled widely and brought out the paper again. He rolled it open and began reading out the details.
"Shèpe Farngs. A three times offender. The bounty on him is 4,000 cowel coins."
Raith arched a brow.
"What is that? Cowel coins?"
"It is the money that is accepted across all dimensional. 4,000 is a lot. It'd be enough for you to live good for a while. And since we will be stepping out of this place. You will get the chance to buy food. You ought to be in good shape for the days to come and have good clothes."
He gave Raith an irritated and demeaning look, closing his nose.
Raith frowned and looked at himself. He shook his head in pity but was delighted for once. After so long, he would finally leave this cursed land.
He was a bit sad that be wouldn't be going back home. But anything would do, just anything to get out of this damned place.
"I'm sorry but I have a question."
Thard - Harl studied him before responding:
"Ask"
"The combat you were supposed to teach me. I have not learnt anything like combat from you. All I have been doing is drills, I have learnt nothing about the martial arts of the asura and other arts."
"Huh? What the hell do you think I've been teaching you."
"Surely you jest."
He said with a chuckle but immediately brought his hands to his mouth as he realized he had spoken rudely. Thard- Harl's face allowed a deep scowl.
"I'm so–
He wasn't given the chance to complete his apology. The asura's hand lunged at him, parting the invisible air with its ferociousness.
It whizzed past Raith's head, blowing a little gale of wind across his ear.
Thard - Harl raised his jaw and smirked slightly.
'...Huh? He missed?'
"Are there humans here too? Like the ones on earth?"
"There are humans in every dimension. This dimension holds a vast number of them also, they are weak compared to other races though."
"Wow. What other races do they have."
"Elves and Orcs."
"Elves and Orcs? Orcs are not monsters here?"
Thard - Harl stopped and turned to him. He also stopped and raised a brow carefully.
"..."
He looked like he wanted to say something but closed sighed and kept walking.
Raith also followed with hints of curiosity slowly dissipating from his face.
[Raven Raith]
"Sage!!"
Thard - Harl shot a gaze at him making him shut up and caution himself.
'Sage. You have left me to suffer alone?'
[I did not leave you]
[No matter how much i tried to call onto you. I was met by utter darkness. Something was blocking my voice from reaching you]
'What? Could it be him?'
Raith looked at Thard - Harl's broad back.
[I doubt it. It was more powerful]
'...strange. I'm glad to have you back.'
[I suspect that my voice will cease to reach you the moment you enter that dimension again]
'I wonder what is wrong. I just thought you were not saying anything because there was nothing to say.'
[Were you able to access your soul sea?]
Raith scratched his temple awkwardly.
'I didn't actually try. I have been occupied with so much misery that I forgot. Is there any changes to it?'
[...]
"We are here."
Raith looked to the front.
Both of them were currently standing in front of a wooden bridge.
Raith was full of excitement. He looked forward to seeing people for the first time in his life.
