CHAPTER 519
The Metalwright Merchant headquarters was a stone fortress built on a hill.Everybody entering this place would be thoroughly checked.The only reason Gabe and Mia were able to enter through the fortress walls was because Martin brought them along.Even still, they were closely monitored until they were taken to the captain commander Zack.Robbery was something that rarely ever took place in this fortress, so everybody was shocked when the news of Frida getting kidnapped started spreading.“Who can kidnap Frida? She’s pretty strong, isn’t she?”“Maybe her opponents were stronger?”“I heard that the one who took her away was the innkeeper of Sword Inn, and that a waiter boy helped him.”“They must be after her Five Sense System.”“I hope nothing bad happens to her.”“God forbid!”The people living in the fortress anxiously waited to see what would happen to Frida.Martin and his squad members went after the trails left by the innkeeper.However, after entering the eastern woods and tra
CHAPTER 518
After much thinking, Mia decided to bring all the items back to her room first and then go to Gabe.She carried the heavy bag with great effort. Unlike Gabe whose body was strengthened from the core, Mia’s body was still not far from an average woman in terms of durability.Nevertheless, her physical endurance was much better thanks to her training and recent fights.She was in a hurry, but when she was passing by a store, the beautiful vocals of birds and other animals caught her attention.She put the bag down and entered the shop.The items inside the store absolutely stunned her.The clocks on the walls had cuckoo bird toys coming out and singing, which was so pleasant on the ears.The modern alarm clocks she had seen would pale in comparison to these clocks put on display.There were two deers fighting with their antlers in one clock.In another clock, a squirrel running in circles chasing after an acorn served as the seconds hand, and the minute hand was represented by a sloth,
CHAPTER 517
After attacking nonstop for over 150 seconds, Frida stopped.She was out of breath, and Gabe was also huffing and sweating. Both their limbs felt heavy for different reasons.Frida’s limbs felt heavy from exhaustion and overwork, whereas Gabe’s arms took the heat of the opponent’s attacks and his joints swelled in return.“Even moving my arms is painful,” Gabe frowned. “My body is far stronger than a normal human’s body. Even so, her aura was able to do this to my limbs in just a few minutes of exchanging attacks. She doesn’t look as troubled as I do. It just shows that if I can learn aura, I will improve and become stronger than my current self.”“You are nimble like a cat,” Frida snorted with annoyance. “I’ll give you that. But…” She stomped on the stage. “Try tanking this!”The entire stage burst to pieces, and all the rocks flew toward Gabe from every direction.Was she controlling the rocks with aura? Or was she manipulating the senses?Gabe couldn’t tell.He could have released
CHAPTER 516
Mia played a lock-removing game first.Among the hundreds of existing keys, she needed to find the right key within three minutes.It was a complicated lock, so she needed to find the right key shape.Mia had never seen or even dreamed that keys of such shapes and curves could exist. They needed to be twisted and turned precisely for half a dozen times in order to unlock it.Mia paid ten copper coins to participate.It took her five attempts to finally crack it.After she won, she was given that lock and key,which together cost about twenty copper coins only.So, she lost thirty coppers in total.But she wasn’t sad because the lock and the key looked cool.As she looked at the other games, she couldn’t help but think, “If I can gather all the rare items like these, then it’s not impossible to create a museum of my own. But the problem is, I don’t think the government will accredit these items. Nevertheless, I can still run the museum as the quality of these items speaks for themselves
CHAPTER 515
Gabe spun through the air like a spinning top.Everyone thought Gabe was done for.Gabe, however, landed on his feet and appeared to be just fine. He cracked his neck one while keeping his eye on Frida. “That was a good kick. I thought I moved back enough, but your foot still reached me. It doesn’t seem like you used aura, either. Was it a system’s skill?”Frida, on the other hand, stood still. (I cleanly struck his jaw with enough force to knock down even an elephant. So, how is he still fine?) “Hmph, it seems you really contributed to the capture of Desert Twins.”“Are you really 22 years old?” Gabe asked. “I can’t bring myself to hit you as you look like a kid.”Frida hated it whenever someone called her short, but the fact that Gabe uttered such provocating words after tasting her foot hurt her pride even more.“I was only planning on teaching him the hierarchy,” Frida muttered under her breath, “but he’s asking for more than a harsh beating.”She clapped her hands together.The s
CHAPTER 514
Gabe and Mia were taken to the dorms.“Since you’re normal escorts, you have to live separately,” Martin told them. “Males and females live in different zones.”“There’s no need for that,” Gabe told them. “Show us a nice house to stay at. We’ll pay the rent.”“Renting a house in this town will cost anywhere between fifty to sixty silver pieces,” Martin told them. “And you need to pay in advance for a whole year. Are you sure you can afford it?”“For now, yes,” Gabe took out a T-gold coin.T-gold coin was worth ten gold coins.“Alright,” Martin then took him to his own house and gave them the first floor. “I’ll only charge thirty silvers per month since I owe you guys.”There were two bedrooms, one hall and a balcony cum kitchen with a foldable glass wall.The coconut trees nearby, with parrots trying to peck on the young coconuts, were beautiful to look at.Mia liked it, so Gabe paid the advance for one year, knowing full well that he wouldn’t be staying in this house for one year.T-
