Chapter 77: Invitation
Elliot turned his gaze toward the person calling him and frowned.
’Have I seen him before?’ he thought, feeling like he remembered him. But his memory couldn’t seem to connect the dots.
Moreover, he found the man’s illuminated face extremely strange, as if he had seen an angel or some kind of higher being when he gazed at him.
So he asked carefully, "What’s going on? May I ask who you are?" His voice sounded cautious.
Joferth smiled even more and quickly approached him, as if afraid that this person he had been searching for so long would suddenly disappear as he had once before.
He quickly took out a business card.
"Excuse my earlier outburst, Young Master Elliot. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Joferth Guilwing. You may remember me as the man who was being attacked by rats a few weeks ago, whom you saved." He was so excited that he forgot to give him the card.
"I see, so you were that person." He looked him up and down and smiled. "I’m glad you’re okay. Have you come to thank me? You don’t need to worry about that. I did it because I was passing by. It’s something any other Awakened would have done."
Joferth quickly smiled. "Yes, I’m here to thank you. I’ve been looking for you for the last two weeks, so I won’t feel at ease until I can thank you properly. It may just be a wave of the hand for you Awakened ones, but for us normal people, it’s a lifetime."
Elliot nodded. ’He’s right.’
When you’re a normal person, getting hit by a beast can wipe you out or put you in a coma, at best. And nothing will bring you back, not even the most skilled healing wizards.
