Chapter 380: Between a rock and hardplace Part2
“Are you sure that Brad hadn’t returned yet? I know about his guild. They are very strong. How could they have gotten lost?”
“What else did you think was going to happen? Every single team who had accepted that mission has gone missing. Heh. These idiots must have thought that they were really special.”
“Are you guys buying a ticket for the theater?”
“Who has time to waste on those trivialities?”
“Bruh! It’s good to take out the wife once in a while!”
“Fuck that wench. I think she is sleeping with someone else.”
“Did you know? Recently a strong elf joined Guillard’s team as a healer. I heard they are going to tackle the westward dungeon next week.”
“Eh? This ale sucks.”
Xander and Charlotte sat patiently at the table, their attention on the various tidbits of conversations around them, rather than on the food that they were munching on.
Xavier, on the other hand, had long since gotten up from the table and disappeared somewhere within the inn along with the bunny waitress who couldn’t stop giggling at his sweet words.
When the elf finally returned, he sat down on his chair and finished the ale left in his mug with a big huge grin.
He was bursting to tell someone about the details but the other two ignored him after giving a condescending look.
“Excuse me. I am sure I have gathered more information than you two bullies. Stop staring down at me all the time, you assholes!” Xavier whined, banging his fists on the wooden table with an adorable pout, revealing his delicious dimples.
If not for the elf’s good looks, he would have long since paid for or been beaten up for his casanova complex.
Of course, there was also the little fact that he was an elven price. However, that had no significance on this side of the ocean.
But yet, Xavier somehow managed to score and was shamelessly proud of his skills.
“Listen you two. First things first. We can still use silver and gold coins here. Our gems don’t work.”
“Hmmm? Why is that?” Xander asked.
“Apparently they are of very low quality, according to the sexy bunny.”
“Also, instead of clans and sects, we have guilds here. This allows the different races to intermingle a lot more freely.”
“More importantly, families and different races are strictly forbidden from forming sects or clans or guilds of only one race in the majority.”
“These people are all about diversity.”
Hmmm… Both Xander and Charlotte simultaneously hummed as they listened to Xavier’s elaborate report which was most definitely gathered in the midst of rolling around.
“There are several Kingdoms and Empires here and they are all ruled by different races with no restriction on who can enter and exit a city or town.”
“However, all of this is only on the northern part of the continent. The south is far more prejudiced and biased towards the human race.”
“There are seven Kingdoms of Immortals in the south, all of whom worship an Immortal God.”
“Other races can still enter these Kingdoms but only for trading and jobs for which they need permission from the royal court officials.”
“Apart from this, there is also a Demonic practitioner Kingdom on the east which is at constant war with both the northern and southern continents.”
“This is the gist of it.”
Both Xander and Charlotte couldn’t help but look up and see the elf in a new light!
This guy had gathered so much information in so little time??? Just what does he do in bed??? They were flabbergasted.
“Ha Ha Ha. I know what you are thinking, you virgins. Bow before the King!” Xavier chuckled.
The other two elves couldn’t help but choke on their ales as they heard this comment.
“Who are you calling a virgin?”
“Who are you calling a virgin?”
They both retorted back instantly at the same time, and once the words had a chance to wash over them, their jaws once again dropped and their faces changed.
She slept with him?
She slept with her?
In between furrowed brows, and clenched fists, Xavier immediately regretted bringing up this topic and he awkwardly chuckled.
“Ahem. Ahem. I am not done yet. There is one more piece of information… Snake spirit beasts are extinct here.”
“There are dragons, there are rabbits, there are pigs and there are even tigers, but no snakes!”
“Bunny girl told me that they turned demonic centuries back and performed atrocities beyond the land could handle.”
“So the Immortal Gods personally descended to eradicate them all.”
“This was also why the fanatics rose up and started revering these Immortal Gods and the land split into the southern and northern factions.”
“So if sister-in-law had indeed come here, she would probably be in the demonic lands.”
“And don’t mention the word sssss again. If any of the southern royals catch a whiff of it, they will immediately imprison us.”
Both Xander and Charlotte who had been ready to fight a couple of rounds just seconds ago immediately calmed down after listening to this.
Everything they heard was not that surprising but the last few pieces of information struck them like lightning.
This alone made their search thousand times more difficult and even if they somehow manage to find Tang Yue, there was no doubt that she was in a lot of danger.
After silently gazing at each other for a while, the duo then muttered, both at the same time. “We need to go to the east.”
“He He. I thought you guys might say that. Let’s get moving.”
The three stood up and left the tavern after tossing a couple of coins on the table for their meal.
And just as they exited the small shop, the waitress was standing near the front, waiting for them and waving at them.
“Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you. My bunny girl is stronger than you Xander!”
“So of course, I hired her to accompany us as our personal guard. Any objections?”
