Semua Bab The Last Thunder: Bab 311 - Bab 320

He knew from experience and information rotating among the soldiers that weapons with a piece of clothing on their hilt came from the Fire Kingdom. Now, that can't be trusted one hundred percent because bandits might have tried to deceive people with that method, but assuming as such was still an option. So his plan was to ask his colleagues back in the Erthas and Shuyen Wall, whether they had seen a red haired person, or if there's any suspicious cargo mount that had passed their post.He knew it was risky to ask that question without any significant details. But he could make up a story based on Uncle Phillips's story the previous day. He could alter the story a bit, but the base was still the same.When he returned to the barrack before noon, he used his break time to write a letter to his colleagues in Shuyen Wall.'Why didn't I see anyone with red hair passing by when I was there? I remember many people passing by with and without cargo. If he somehow mount

Jai finished reading the letter and looked up at the older man with pale red hair, then at the letter again. He focused on the words at the end of the letter.'You're the first person on my mind to help me with this. I do not force you, but if you accept, this would be a huge favor and I will never forget this. Please consider it, Jai. Sincerely, Torfo.'Jai's brows frowned. His mind was clouded with confusion and he unconsciously tilted his head from the absurd letter.'This is ridiculous. Why would he ask me? I mean, of all people? Surely he would have connections here and there. Why would he come to me? What made him think I can do this?' he wondered. He still couldn't forget their squabble in the mausoleum. They were like cat and dog that time, always in dispute whenever they meet and if there were no adults around. Though their fight eventually ended with a good note and a fair agreement laid upon the two, Jai had never thought he would be included in Torfo

“Well?” Miria looked at him.“I…” He looked at her seriously. “I want to help him save his nephew,” Jai said, looking determined.“Do you know where the nephew is?” Miria asked.“I don’t,” Jai shook his head.“Then how will you save him if you don’t know where he is?” Miria asked.“I will follow the lead from my friend and start from there,” he nodded his head as if he was sure.Miria tilted her head. “And when you get to that lead, what will you do? What if it leads you directly to their lair?”“That’s…” Jai hesitated. “Of course charge through and find the nephew.”There was another pause among the two as Jai thought of what he would do while Miria stared at him and waited for him to answer. But after a few seconds looking at him trying to fiddle with his answer, Miria laughed

Jai was in Darrion’s house, preparing for the rest of the things he’s going to bring. Darrion wasn’t around when he arrived, but Darisha was already there waiting for him. They had a talk for around one hour and a half about the journey before moving on to the preparation.Since Darrion’s father was a traveller herbalist, there were many stories in his letter. Darisha had searched the letters when he was working in the Fire Kingdom and read it to Jai. Thanks to that, he had more clues on what kind of place he was going to.The Fire Kingdom was in a mountain with many trees. He understood immediately that it must be in the middle of the forest, and he was smiling in excitement at the thought of it. It wasn’t that the forest in Deleima and Heruba wasn’t interesting enough to him, but the thought of going abroad and traveling in a forest. ‘I can finally travel just like people on Earth. I wonder if they have snow in there too? May

“Wait. I don’t understand. You’re coming with me?” the windlet nodded. “But don’t you have your job as a windlet? I’ll be going for at least one month. Do you have any idea how many days that is?” Jai asked. “Thirty days! You can lose your job!”Darrion smiled. “Relax, Jai. Everything’s been taken care of.”“What do you mean by that?” Jai frowned.“I have a mission. I’ll be accompanying you,” Darrion smiled.Jai blinked, suddenly feeling relaxed because he wasn’t exactly the only reason. “Oh… Okay… Part of it makes sense to me. So… You’ll be going with me in the span of your mission. How long are you going to be in the Fire Kingdom and what kind of mission? Maybe I can help you while we’re there. Two birds with one stone, you know?”Darrion snickered. “Jai. The mission is ‘you&rsq
