Chapter 160.3
A beautiful blade? No, this woman was not like that. She was a pretty “trap” that lured her prey, spreading a deadly poison the moment it was touched. The men in the guild were fooled by her loveliness and underestimated her, but Jesha, who was also a woman, saw firsthand how dangerous she was.
Her fighting ability was no less than that of Zilgan, who had been fighting in the front lines for decades. But more than that, Jesha felt “something” shining in her eyes, and understood that all the “gossip” she had heard so far was true.
She knew that she should not be enemies with this woman.
If Aria joined the fight against the earth dragon, the odds of winning would surely increase. But more than that, as a daughter of the Hogloss Trading Company, Jesha could not let anyone other than the dwarves take credit for the victory.
As for Jesha personally, as a fellow warrior woman, she sympathized with Aria’s easygoing attitude toward her, half acting as a [business partner], and just being herself. Despite this sympathy, the guardian of this desert town of Cutlass had to be a dwarf from the Hogloss Trading Company.
As Jesha of the Hogloss Trading Company, she would like her to only deliver Advanced Potion if possible, but as the guild leader, it seemed like a bad idea to waste that strength.
But at the same time, Jesha understood that Aria would not listen to the guild’s request anyway.
What then?
“Aria, you should protect what you want to protect.”
