Chapter 148 - 149
Still, Alistar was right. Dark-maned bobcats were very rare in this region, and nearly every part of their body had some sort of commercial use. While the female carcass was too charred to salvage, that of the male could likely fetch around four or five golden lucets.
Clicking his tongue, he said, "If you want to take it with us, you’ll have to drag it back."
Looking at the male bobcat, which was the size of a small horse, Alistar gave his master a disapproving frown. "I’m afraid I’m too exhausted. Please, Master? We can split the rewards. I’m sure you can buy plenty of drunken evenings with the funds."
He smacked the boy again. "Do you enjoy being hit?"
Alistar laughed and then fell unconscious. The fight from before had depleted too much of his stamina, not to mention that the shock, adrenaline and fear that he’d surely felt would have left him even more exhausted once the instinctual feelings began to fade.
This kid, I swear...
The first thing that Tramon did was retrieve all of the boy’s limiters, which wasn’t too difficult since they bore heavy signs of his aura. Once he’d gathered all four of them, he slipped them back onto Alistar’s fingers, though only after inspecting the one that had just been reattached.
There’re no problems?
Even the boy’s mother, one of the most talented healers in the kingdom’s history, couldn’t have done the same with such ease. At least, not at his age.
Now that he was free from the slight strain of Alistar’s unfettered aura, he returned his disciple’s sword to its scabbard and carried him to the county walls where he’d just collected the limiters from. A sizeable patch of ground was aflame in some places, likely from the fallout of whatever spell had been used to burn the initial bobcat. Drawing from experience, Tramon determined that Alistar had used an advanced fire field spell, something that only a talented mage could pull off.
Was that Jin fellow the sort of person to teach him such things?
