Clay was silent in silence, he was stunned to see the pointy-eared girl's beauty.
Her beautiful eyes, smooth white skin, blonde hair, have a special charm that is able to make Clay admire her beauty.
Clay's face turned red, his heartbeat pounding.
It is undeniable, that Clay is currently admiring the beauty of the figure of the girl in front of him.
After thanking Clay and not getting any answers from him, the beautiful girl said again.
"I'm Ariana... Can I find out what your name is, young master?"
Clay was still speechless not answering, his gaze completely fixated on seeing the beauty of the creature before him.
Clay realized that he was being talked to, but he could not control the answer to answer his question.
After a few breaths, now the Elf girl who claimed to be named Ariana said again while waving her hand towards Clay.
"Hello... Young master? Are you all right?"
Clay was a little surprised, and then he answered. "Ah, yes... I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing? I'm Ariana... What's yourname?" Ariana asked with a slightly confused look on her face with Clay's current attitude.
"Ah no, it's nothing... My name is Clay." Clay replied with a slight panic of confusion due to misbehavior.
Ariana smiled after hearing Clay's reply. "Thank you, Mr. Clay... Thank you for saving us from that criminal."
"Ah yes, it's nothing... You're welcome." Clay answered who was still acting stiff and felt dazed in front of Ariana.
"He is my bodyguard... His name is Max." Ariana said while pointing politely towards the Elf race adult man who was currently nearby.
"Greetings... I'm Clay..." Clay answered while nodding his head at the figure of the Elf man named Max.
"Wait... A bodyguard? A pretty merchant who has bodyguards? You must be from a large Guild..." Clay asked the two of them.
Max seemed a little surprised, and then he tried to explain himself.
"I apologized for lying to you, Mr. Clay..."
Clay cuts off Max's speech. "meaning?"
"I confessed that we were traders... But we are actually members of a Guild that is on an escort mission."
"Oh... All right, no problem." Clay answered casually.
"One more time, I'm sorry Mr. Clay... I was so freaked out because a lot of our colleagues were dead."
"You guys are from a Guild? But why can't you fight the bandits?"
"In our group, there was a traitor... He poisoned our food with Vir powder... He also conspired with the bandits to kidnap Miss Ariana."
In this world there is an artificial poison that is hated by magic users, namely Vir powder.
This Vir powder, made from various kinds of medicinal plants that are processed so that it becomes a poison.
The poison effect of this Vir powder, being able to make the Mana channels in the magic user's body become very chaotic and eventually the Mana will explode inside the body.
But if this Vir powder is consumed by non-magic users, then it will have no impact whatsoever on him.
"Thank you, Mr. Clay. Death is our risk as adventurers..." Max said and after a few seconds, he said again. "It may be disrespectful... But, can I ask for one request?"
"What's that?"
"After you're done with the bandits' treasure... Can you hand the two bandits over to us? We promise, we will not bring anything up about property and the like... I just want to punish those two bandits."
Clay was silent for a few seconds, thinking for a moment. "Wait... In retrospect, he was like telling me that I'm a crazy treasure... Means I'm not much different from those bandits dong!? Ahhh no matter!! Right now I only need money, Attribute Point and create a lot of Equipment... It was all for the sake of my life and the lives of the people around me to be better than the days before!! About how bad I am in other people's minds, I don't care!"
Seeing Clay who never answered, now Max also tried to offer something in return for his request. "I'll buy it with my money in exchange for those two bandits? One head 50 Gold... How about young master?"
Hearing the amount offered by Max, of course, made Clay interested in it. "alright. But I'll hand them over once I get what I want."
"All right, Mr. Clay."
"Hey... Man sells man..." Said Ariana with a slight frown.
When Clay was surprised, he realized what he had just done.
"Ah, that... Anu..." Clay panicked not to dodge Ariana's words.
Ariana laughed after seeing the look on Clay's face which now looked panicked. "Hahaha calm... Calm down, Mr. Clay... In this world, who is strong is powerful... No one forbids that anyway."
"Hehehe..." Clay just laughed a little, he still did not wince when talking to Ariana.
"We know each other... Don't call me 'Master'... Just call Clay." Clay went to both of them.
"Okay, Clay."
After a while, Zen approached the three of them.
"Young master... We're ready to make our way to Gowa village." Zen said with his polite attitude.
"Ah, fine... We're leaving."
"Max... Are we going with Clay?" Ask Ariana.
"I intend it that way. But..." Max replied that he was a little hesitant because he was currently in escort duty and did not want to upset his customers for wasting a lot of time on personal interests.
However, Ariana immediately interrupted Max's speech. "alright. I don't mind... I am also heartbroken that they have killed the Elf race, let alone their 1st kingdom with me..."
"Thank you, Miss Ariana."
Now Clay says after Max thanks Ariana. "alright... We're leaving together."
They finally went to Gowa village. A small village located not far from where they had fought before.
Time passed, and now they reached the village of Gowa.
They got to Gowa village quite quickly because the distance is not too far.
It was clear in Clay's eyes that the village of Gowa that was currently in front of him was a small village that was poor and slum.
Currently Clay also saw, that this Gowa village was an Elf race village.
A village whose majority of the population was an Elf race.
"Squeaky... Why is the headquarters of the human race bandits here? Inside the Elf race village... Were the villagers not angry that the village was used as a base for bandits? Or maybe they don't know that there's a bandit base here? But more importantly it... Is it true that the headquarters of the bandits are here?" Clay said in his heart.
