Chapter 157.2: Emberion interlude
"I'll join you," Crithann said calmly, closing his door.
Irwin stared at his mentor and friend in surprise. "What about this place," he said, waving around at the town that was slowly growing into a bustling city.
"There is no more trouble, and there are many heartcarded here to protect it," Crithann said as he looked around. "Besides, do you even know how to reach the Earth Titan body?"
Irwin smirked. This was exactly why he was here in the first place.
"Let's go. There is a teleporter here that will help us," Crithann said as he began stomping through New Grianfál.
Irwin walked after him, quickly catching up and falling in pace with the giant Veridian.
It took them a while to reach Crithann's goal, which was in one of the more remote places of the town—a small, two-story house built beside the wall.
Crithann knocked on the door with enough force for the entire thing to flex, and a startled shout came from inside.
"Yes, yes! What is it?"
"It's me. I need your help for a day," Crithann rumbled.
Someone stomped through the house, and the door was pulled open, revealing a brown-leafed, dark, and old-looking Viridian. Intense green eyes stared at them as a leafy eyebrow rose.
"My my. The leader and the smith! Let me guess, you need to go somewhere that's not within walking distance?" the Viridian said, his voice sounding like the groans of an old massive tree bending in the wind.
