231 - The Muddy Youth
They weren’t making any sound, so Gunnar would have missed these presences if he was just relying on his sense of hearing.But thanks to his skin breathing technique, he was able to feel their presence as a group.He didn’t know how many of them there were, but he felt that there were definitely more than one.Gunnar opened his eyes. While employing the muscle breathing technique, he brought aura into his eyes.His pupils dilated as he concentrated.Almost a hundred feet away, seven figures were dashing ahead while traveling on tree branches.They were completely cloaked in black from head to toe and were hard to spot in the darkness, but Gunnar’s eyes barely managed to spot them.He slowly got up to his feet.The one leading the seven masked men raised his hand, and everyone stopped on different trees. They all had numbers on their foreheads from one to seven, with one given to the leader.Their eyes were on Gunnar.“That boy…” one of the guys said. “Is he the rejuvenated master that
230 - A Hurdle
Gunnar was heading north in the village. He met Hector who just finished his meal and was going back to his north-western guard post.“Young Master, where are you going at this hour?” Hector asked.“Just getting some fresh, cool air from the river,” Gunnar said.“The smell of the market is still floating in the air. It’s going to attract the rats and boars, so you shouldn’t roam in this region.”“I won’t roam for long, so don’t worry,” Gunnar kept moving ahead.When he got to the river, he saw a couple of boars swimming across the river. They made it look so easy.When they just crossed the river, arrows rained down on them and killed them.It was the hunters of the clan who quickly got there and carried the boars away.Gunnar just watched. Back when he was in school, the students were taken across the river and were taught how to read the footprints, track boars and distract them in groups to hunt them down efficiently.Most students would learn how to use the bow. Gunnar also starte
229 - Attitude
Later that evening.All the visitors had basically left. After hearing the reports, Rayson met with the other elders in the patriarch’s hall.“We managed to sell two-thirds of the items put for display,” Rayson said. “So, we’re already in the profit zone.”“That’s good to hear,” Enron said while eating bread dipped in grainy sauce. “But still everyone looks demotivated because of the incident with the tunnel.”“You should have never sent an invitation to the Sloth city’s lord,” Shawn looked disappointed with Rayson. “Why did you do that?”“How would I have known that his son would be such a brute?” Rayson retorted. “He was going to cut off a child’s tongue just for bumping into him. We have many witnesses, so the city lord will not be able to put pressure on us.”“We can’t put pressure on him, either,” Shawn snorted. “Even though our tunnel was destroyed, we have to suck it up.”“Now what?” Cobbo asked. “How do we proceed?”“Firstly, we have to fill up the tunnel with rock and harden
228 - Weegee
Gunnar brought the little dicer girl to the library and asked Elder Shawn if she could work there.Shawn blatantly refused. “She’s a total stranger. She’s not qualified to even step foot inside.”Gunnar then took her to Cobbo’s home.Cobbo refused to take her in. He hoped at least Bessy would agree, but Bessy simply shook her head.“I can’t let our clan’s techniques be taught to an outsider,” Bessy said.Gunnar sighed and walked out of the home. “You’re not old enough to run a shop on your own, so what should I do?”“I can run a shop,” the little girl said, “as long as someone provides me with the stock.”Gunnar thought about it. “Supplies, huh…”“With your strength, you can kill the boars and foxes easily,” the little girl stated. “I can separate the meat, blood, bones and claws and sell them for you. We’ll take fifty-fifty in the profits.”“Fifty-fifty?” Gunnar pulled her ear. “Do I look like a fool to you? I’ll be taking all the profits, and I will pay you a salary of five silver c
227 - Lexar's Wish
Lexar was on his way home, and he stopped by Elder Enron who was sitting outside on a stone bench placed under a neem tree.“I thought you’d build a shop for yourself,” Lexar said.“Who would stay inside stores? That’s a boring life,” Enron said. “Back when I was your age, I used to go on hunting and escort missions with my brother and friends. Those were fun days.”“After what happened today, it won’t be easy to boost our trade,” Lexar said. “Without money, we can’t maintain an escort agency.”“Money is important, but trust is key,” Enron said. “For that, you need to have power. Because clans like Woodwork indirectly support the bandits, hooligans and runaways, it’s hard for the people up north to trust anybody in these regions. The martial association could not exert their influence this far, probably because they have more important regions to worry about.“So, if we want to run an escort agency in redstone county and get clients to believe us, then we have to show them our power a
226 - Seeking a Bright Future
The visitors who came to the village fair left through the western route.The road joining the fist clan and the bluegrass clan was not large, and it wasn’t well-maintained, either.It would be difficult for two carts to fit side by side, but one cart would travel without any problem.“Why don’t you spend some money to develop a nice road to the fist clan?” Rayson asked Durk. “If visitors increase for our clan, then your clan will benefit from it, too.”Both of them were at the western border.Durk laughed a bit. “I’ll think about it.”Roads were generally built using small red stones and red sand. This would make it difficult for grass to regrow even if the vehicles didn’t travel on that road for a few months.However, building such a road would cost decent money.The fist clan did not build a road because there were issues with the lands near the bluegrass clan.But because of the marriage promise between Gunnar and Livia, Rayson believed that Durk would finally be willing to resolv
