Chapter 274: Reading the diary
Rublena and Dollaire mounted their dessert horse early in the morning.
Hex had a clear view from his window. He watched the twins leave with a small group as the sun rose from the horizon. The unending dunes seemed to be made of gold in the light of the morning ray.
The fresh morning breeze caressed his face as he stared at the exiting group. They turned smaller and smaller as the distance increased. He wondered how long before they could start to explore the unearthed burrow.
As part of their agreement to partner, Lord Red Hare and he decided to send a team. They had to scout the periphery of the discovered burrows. The team consisted of people from both parties. Lord Red Hare placed three people in the team. Bashar was one of the three.
The man didn’t even blush in embarrassment before Hex. As far as he was concerned, he only owed his respect to Hex. His loyalty belonged to his Lord. Hex didn’t like the custom but he also couldn’t find fault with the man.
As far as the people belonging to Hex were concerned, he didn’t have anyone. Sterling proposed adding the twins. He assured Hex that the two sisters were the best scouts at the Knight stage he could get. Despite their obvious dislike for Hex, Hex agreed to let them scout.
’It’s good if they succeed. If not, I don’t think I will miss them. A win-win.’ He sneered and threw them to the back of his mind. There was a lot more to do. He rather did them now. Based on his past, there seemed to be a pattern of events worsening faster than he could breathe.
After becoming a Refined Knight, he used the Ice to reduce his fatigue. His physique improved too. He could sense it devour every wisp of chaotic energy in the air. But the energy in the air was too sparse to satisfy its hunger. Only using low-graded pills would do.
’With the gains of the burrow, I can buy the pills. I wonder how much would be required at this stage.’
