Chapter 187
“Haha, we’re all friends here.” Leon patted Krobus on the head. He couldn’t reach Krobus’s shoulder, so the head would have to do.
To his surprise, the black little fellow felt soft and springy to the touch, almost like cotton.
“Still, I’m planning to keep a low profile for a while. Don’t want to cause you any trouble,” Krobus said, clearly enjoying Leon’s touch—his mouth stretched into a wide grin.
“Keep a low profile?” Leon looked at Krobus, puzzled. He couldn’t see what difference it made for Krobus to stay quietly in the sewers.
“It’s one of my special abilities. If I remain in complete silence, I can blend into the darkness—like an animal hibernating. My presence becomes so faint that I’m almost impossible to detect.”
“Any side effects for you?” Leon asked with concern.
“None.” Krobus shook his head. “It’s just like sleeping.”
“Oh, so that means I won’t be able to visit you?”
“I can wake up from that state whenever I want. But honestly, there’s nothing much fun down here, and humans can’t tolerate the sewer smell for long. Unless you have something to trade, I don’t recommend dropping by too often.” Krobus’s words were entirely for Leon’s sake.
