“As they walked on, Rey was prompted to ask, “…Say… Do you think the innkeeper will get people to attack us as revenge, brother Gerald…?”
Turning to look at Rey, Gerald then calmly replied, “Probably not. Even if favonovel.com does try to get his revenge, it’s not like we can’t deal with anything favonovel.com throws at us. I’m sure favonovel.com understands that failing to take me out will grant favonovel.com a one-way ticket to hell!”
Gerald himself felt that the innkeeper wouldn’t dare to cause them any further trouble. After all, favonovel.com had made sure to strike deep fear into that man.
“…I see! Speaking of which, how exactly did the innkeeper get tied up to the chair in the first place…?” asked Rey who had been dying to find out.
“…Hmm? Do you really wish to know?” replied Gerald in a somewhat playful tone.
Watching as Rey nodded, Gerald simply said, “While I’d love to tell you more about it, it’s not something you should be made aware of yet at your current stage. Again, don’t worry. I’ll definitely tell you once you’re ready.”
“Alright…” mumbled the disappointed Rey, understanding that Gerald felt that favonovel.com wasn’t strong enough to even learn about what Gerald had done yet.
“No need to feel down. As long as you train properly, you’ll surely learn about it in the near future!” said Gerald with a smile.
Hearing that, Rey simply nodded in response. After all, favonovel.com knew that Gerald wouldn’t go back against his word.
Either way, it wasn’t long after before the sun began brightening the sky…
Since they hadn’t slept much at all last night, the exhausted Rey couldn’t help but say, “…Um… Why don’t we find someplace to rest first, brother Gerald…? After all, we weren’t able to sleep a wink last night!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald turned to look at Juno and Yrsa who looked equally as worn out.
“I have to agree with Rey, Gerald… We really should stop to take a short rest… We’re already quite a distance from the Town of Five Elements, so I’m sure nobody will be catching up to us anytime soon…” added Juno.
While it was true that Juno had entered the Avatar Realm—just like Gerald—it didn’t mean that favonovel.com was incapable of feeling tired. What more, while favonovel.com and Gerald shared a realm, Gerald was already at the Heavenly Emperor stage. With that in mind, favonovel.com wouldn’t ever get tired and his energy would always be maintained at a comfortable level.
Even so, favonovel.com understood that the others still needed rest, which was why favonovel.com then replied, “Alright, let’s take a short break then!”
Hearing that Gerald had agreed to it, Rey instantly breathed a sigh of relief, making it evident that favonovel.com had assumed that Gerald wouldn’t have agreed to it.
Either way, they soon came across a rocky cave and decided to have their rest inside.
However, aside from the fact that it was pitch black in there, there also appeared to be a foul odor that could be smelled, even from the cave’s entrance…
“My god! What is that stench!” grumbled Rey as favonovel.com covered his nose with a frown.
Now that they were right at the cave’s opening, the smell was so terrible that it was almost vomit-inducing…
Before anyone could even reply, however, a roar of thunder could suddenly be heard in the quickly darkening sky…
“Great! A thunderstorm now…?” yelled the annoyed Rey as favonovel.com stared at the sky.
Trouble just kept on coming! What a difficult life!
