Chapter 124: Catching Up
“Oh, hey guys,” said the weary adventurer, leaning against a tree for support. “Been looking for you everywhere.”
“What happened? Did you find the dragon?!” Balthazar asked, looking at the soot-covered boy with great expectation in his eyes.

The human placed his hands on his knees, visibly tired.
“Can we set up camp somewhere, and then I’ll tell you everything? It’s almost night, and I’m completely wiped.”

“Alright, spill already,” said Balthazar, holding a piece of dried fish in his pincer, which he wasn’t too keen on eating, because it wasn’t a pastry. “What did you find in that town?”
Rye sighed.
