Since they already decided on helping, then they had to hurry to catch up to Lin Xiao.
When they arrived at the inn, they quickly found Yao Zi and Xiao Tian, who had nothing to do. They briefly told them what they had come for and invited them to join their team to find Lin Xiao.
The two were of course willing to follow along after hearing that information!
Who was Lin Xiao? Their benefactor, a reliable brother to Xiao Tian and a patient teacher to Yao Zi.
Especially Xiao Tian, he’s been staying with his sister all this time after coming back from the plague zone and he’s been itching to get out!
It’s always been Lin Xiao helping them and they haven’t helped much all this time, so now that they can repay him, they were happy.
But compared to how excited Xiao Tian was, Yao Zi was thinking of something else and went to ask Caesar about it. With how dense Caesar was, he definitely couldn’t guess why Yao Zi would ask that, if Rosie heard it, she would probably know why right away…
Yao Zi asked, ‘How did you know Lin Xiao went to the supply station?’
Caesar told her that Claire told him.
Yao Zi asked again why did Claire know where he went even though they, as his teammate, didn’t.
To that, Caesar had no response so he could only respond by his guess, because Claire knew him very well.
Yao Zi was unsatisfied with that answer.
What did that mean? Did she know him better than they knew him? She has been with Lin Xiao far longer than Claire and experienced much more together, so why is a mere tomboy being so intimate with Lin Xiao?
Lin Xiao left the two of them behind this time, which Yao Zi was already unhappy about, and now she suddenly heard that Claire already knew where Lin Xiao was going, she felt defeated and jealous.
That may be the case… but with Yao Zi’s weak personality, how could she question Caesar? She may be curious, but she could only swallow her questions and wait until she had a chance to ask Lin Xiao.
And so they all set off towards the supply station. At the same time, Lin Xiao has almost arrived, yet didn’t know that he was being followed by a bunch of people, some wanting to help him, others wanting to kill him…
Even Lin Xiao never expected that such a simple mission caused such a commotion and became the opportunity for him to change his attitude and force him to do something that he would never usually want to do.
Just like Lin Xiao once said, no one really wants to be a hero, they were just forced to do something that they have to do.
…
…
West of the deep and dark city.
Near the outskirts of the plague zone, there was a large scale supply station.
This was originally a place for the fleeing refugees and to defend against the spreading plague, but when Caesar brought back the black core and Snow announced the truth behind the plague, everyone’s fears dissipated.
Since it wasn’t a plague but black magic, then they weren’t afraid of the plague zone naturally spreading, so this place lost its original purpose and was turned into a supply station by Claire. It was responsible for supply distribution in the west and as the closest place to the plague zone, they were preparing for the future cleanup.
So this place was in an awkward spot, you could say that it wasn’t that important, which it wasn’t since it was just a desolate supply station. But it was also important in the future and it just depended on its management.
Mina, you have to cheer up, don’t underestimate this job or you’ll regret it!
Mina stood at the front desk remembering what Deborah had told her. Deborah, the manager of this supply station was a strong middle-aged woman. Her tanned skin and sturdy physique was like that of a man, and her personality was equally as strong and along with her attentiveness was the reason she could be the manager, buying and selling goods, and transporting goods, she had quite a bit of influence in the business and logistic aspects.
Deborah may not be strong, but she was capable and had connections. She met princess Claire numerous times and was even good friends with the grand marshall!
A strong woman like Deborah was Mina’s idol! Mina felt comfortable working under Deborah, she felt like her own moth, sometimes gentle and sometimes stern, but always reliable and trustworthy!
“So I have to cheer up!”
Mina smacked her cheeks and, not wanting to disappoint Deborah, chased away her sleepiness and continued her work.
What? Who was Mina and what did she do? Mina was a twenty-year-old girl who also worked under Deborah, this was her first year working under Deborah and wasn’t experienced. Today, was coincidentally her first time being responsible for working the front desk so she wasn’t used to it, that’s why Deborah warned her before she left and told her not to let her guard down.
As for what the front desk did… it was just hosting! The kind where a beautiful woman with heavy makeup wears revealing clothes and flirts with men to attract business!
Cough… not!
At first, Mina also thought of something like that, but then she realized that it was a normal job like a guide.
