Chapter 165.4
“I see you’re opening a store at a time like this, too…I heard a Dark Elf named Camille was asking for a fire magic stone. Did he ever come here?”
My cloak was stained with blood and soot from the battle so far, so it was no surprise to hear that I was a scavenger. Still, when I mention Camille’s name, the old man raised one eyebrow lightly while shaking his smoking pipe.
“…Miss, are you with that boy? I’m sorry, but I haven’t seen him for the past few days. If you’re not a customer, please leave. If you’re a woman, you’d better run away.”
“You’re not running away, are you?”
“With what’s going on with Dark Elf and the Rizan group? An old man like me wouldn’t be able to escape anyway.”
“Well…”
I could not tell him to run away if he was already prepared to face death.
This was the world they live in. If one wanted freedom to live, at least one should not be deprived of the freedom to die.
No one could violate his dignity. So I bowed my head slowly for the last time and was about to leave, when the old man stopped me for some reason.
“Wait, girl. Take this.”
