"Start? Where to?" Both Alex and the Monk blurted out at the sa ti. Alex then turned toward the monk to give him a stern glare. "Liam, I told you before, and I am telling you now. I just don't trust these two, and where is the other woman?"
Liam nodded. "That's fine. I also don't trust them, but they have signed special contracts. So we don't have to worry about that right now. And the woman… she said she would join us when we have sothing for her."
"Oh?" Alex's eyes widened slightly. "Oooh!" She then opened her mouth again as her look of apprehension changed into one of amusent. "Special contracts, huh?" She sneered at the two.
By now, the information had spread around the guild about exactly who these two were. "Oh, how the mighty Oracle has fallen!" Alex ridiculed the first guy.
He did not do anything to her per see, but he had done a lot to Crimson Abyss and Liam, which she obviously was going to take personally. As for the other guy…
"You! You owe so money!" Alex scoffed at the second loser, the crook who called himself a monk.
"Excuse , miss. I am a man of the cloth. I have never borrowed anything from anyone or cheated anyone out of their possessions."
"Oh really?"
Liam watched the three in front of him go at it and scratched his head. Why was he doing this again? He sighed and shook his head helplessly. Unfortunately, sotis when the odds were stacked against you, one had to rely on people like this.
"That's enough." He clapped his hands and then walked over to Luna. With a single jump, he got up on the fox and sat down. "Are you three coming or not?"
The Oracle silently walked over to the white fox and gave Liam a complex look before doing the sa. Now only Alex and the Monk were left.
"A monk, an oracle, a paladin, and a necromancer walked into a bar. Do you know what happens next?" Alex leaned forward and glared threateningly at the monk, pointing her finger at the man's chest.
"Ah… ughhh…" The monk stamred.
"The monk died." With a hmph, Alex then walked over to the fox as well and sat down next to Liam, not bothering to give the guy another glance.
"Do you not want to co?" Liam observed her actions, so he asked the obvious. "Considering the current circumstance, I thought it would be better to take a divine affinity type fighter along with , just in case sothing unexpected pops out. But if you don't want to-"
"What? When did I say that?" Alex imdiately beca flustered. She did not even allow him to finish the sentence and hurriedly bobbed her head. "No. No. No. I am coming. I an I am happy to co. I an, I am fine."
"Ok." Liam gave her a look before turning around and patting Luna on the back. "Let's go."
"Ahem. By the way, where are we going?" Alex composed herself a little and asked.
"I have no idea." Liam shrugged. "That will be up to these two." He pointed at the monk and the oracle.
"These two?" Alex looked confused, but more than that, the other two were even more confused.
"Why are you both staring at like this?" Liam chuckled. "Didn't you two beg for your lives, saying that you will lead to treasures? Now it's ti to do that. I wish you good luck."
Caden looked dazed, and the monk opened his mouth wide.
"Huh? This? How can this be possible? I am not a human treasure finder!" The monk retorted back hurriedly.
The next mont, the guy watched Liam's face change ever so slightly, and he imdiately did a double take.
"Ha Ha Ha. I am joking. I am joking, good sir. I am more than happy to look at your fortune. What else is this life for? Amitabha! Amitabha! I will get right on it!"
The guy then quickly closed his eyes as if he did not want to see anything anymore. Next to him, the Oracle also had already closed his eyes. The two were the picture of hard work.
Alex, however, did not buy what they were selling. "Will this really work?"
As if agreeing with her, Luna also made a small sound and gave the two a glare before lifting off the ground. The white fox and the four people sitting atop her then started aimlessly floating around here and there.
"Is this really the best use of our ti?" Alex grimaced.
A couple of hours later, even Liam began to doubt the sa.
However, the options were limited at the mont, and they had a lot of ground to cover. He did not even know where to start to look for the treasures or the beasts. So this was the best he could co up with.
Of course, while they were floating around, Liam also summoned his personal army to do so hard labor and look around here and there for anything that was out of the ordinary.
In this way, the search continued for a couple of hours when suddenly the Monk flashed his eyes open and shouted in excitent. "I got it! I got it! Good sir, there is danger ahead of us!"
"Danger? Hmmm?" Liam was perplexed. What could possibly be dangerous here?
They were still around their guild base, and he had been to this particular area several tis, even once recently when he was dealing with the vampires, so he knew for a fact that there could be nothing dangerous here.
"Can you be more specific?" Liam asked. Perhaps there was sothing dangerous hidden deep beneath the surface? That too, this close to their guild base?
Liam's heart rate quickened. This was indeed extrely dangerous. However, all of a sudden, breaking this tension in the air, Alex laughed loudly.
"Danger? Sure! Why don't we go there right now and find out what is so dangerous about it?"
