The Story of Demon Hunter

Boat Ride

"Really?"

Hearing Arthur's words, Reyna looked surprised. Although her appearance still looked cold, the girl's eyes could not hide her excitement.

"Why am I lying to you?"

"Thank God." Reyna looked relieved.

"..."

"It turns out you're a good man, Arthur."

"..."

While Reyna spoke, Arthur chose silence. He continued walking while daydreaming. Seems to be thinking of something. Completely disregarding every single word the girl currently caught up with and walked beside him.

Men and women walk together through the street with peach trees filled with flowers on the right-left side of the road. The girl smiled lightly and looked timid.

If not for the man staring into the distance with a dreamy expression and looking dazed, the two would have looked like lovers enjoying youth.

Enjoy their spring!

"sorry. What did you say?"

Arthur turned his head towards Reyna as he continued walking. The girl was stunned for a moment, then stared at him with an expression of disbelief.

"You didn't hear what I said before?" ask Reyna.

"..."

"I told you, I've already determined the route. After going to the nearest city, we will take the train and travel between cities.

It took about ten days to get to the location."

"We'll talk about it in the next town. The distance is quite far because we are in a remote mountain range. So ...

Do you want to increase speed?

If you find it troublesome, we can also take a leisurely walk and—"

"Just calm. You can hurry and I won't hinder you. Besides, I'm pretty confident with my footwork technique."

Reyna said in a cold tone. Seemed calm, but still showed a little pride.

"Oh ... Ok~"

After saying that, Arthur immediately added speed. Reyna soon followed him.

...***...

In the afternoon.

On top of the not-so-high hills, Arthur stared at the city in the distance. Although it was not too close, it was clear they could reach it soon.

"You're pretty fast" Arthur praised with a warm smile on his face.

"..."

Reyna did not answer because she was out of breath. He was leaning against a tree near the road with up and down breaths. The girl wiped off her sweat as she stared at Arthur with a surprised, astonished, and angry expression.

He was surprised by Arthur's speed, astonished that the young man could run fast and steady, and angry that Arthur really did not care about him.

In addition to taking a few breaks to catch their breath, they kept moving. So they can get to the first city quickly. However ...

Reyna felt that she was really being bullied!

"Why do you look angry? Take it easy, we'll change lunch after we get to the city. Of course, I'll treat you to a meal.

So, let's move on."

After saying that, Arthur immediately continued to leave.

Reyna looked at the young man's back with a hateful expression. But he still forced himself to follow.

Arriving in front of the city gate, they lined up to enter. Both of them simply did not act impatiently and pretended to be a peerless genius figure where others would have to step aside if they passed by.

After waiting for quite a while, they entered the city after paying the fee.

In this world, the payment system uses copper, silver, and gold coins. There are also those that use platinum coins, but because it is rare, transactions are rarely made.

Arthur takes Reyna to the best restaurant in town.

"According to the guard, this place is the best restaurant. Come inside!"

Arthur went inside, ordered a place, food, and drinks.

After waiting a long time, they ate together. It was just that, after eating, Arthur put on a bad expression. He even took a long breath.

"Indeed delicious, but not as delicious as the cuisine in the Dragon Dojo. But that's not the problem."

"Then?"

"The dish is too monotonous."

Although it tastes good, Arthur is bored because there is not much cuisine in this world. The method of processing is quite simple and almost the same. It seemed that they were developing more pill concocting techniques than taking care of cooking recipes or something like that.

"What about the route?" ask Arthur.

"Everything was well planned."

Reyna took out the map and opened it on the table. He circled the location of White Stone Village in red. The girl had also chosen the route well. However, it seemed that the young man across the table did not agree with his plan.

"We're going by water." Arthur pointed to one of the great rivers on the map. "There should be a boat going through. We can get on that boat instead of taking a detour."

"Isn't that too risky?" ask Reyna astonished.

"I'm the captain, Little Girl. You better follow my orders."

"Hmmm!"

Reyna stomps her feet. He stared at the Ark with a cold gaze, but still did not dare to refuse.

"By the way, I'll go to the market to buy various materials. Are you going to come or not?"

"Of course I'm coming!"

"You seem quite vigilant.".

"I'm not going to give you a prescription for free."

"Do you not believe me so much?"

"Hmmm!"

After a meal together, Arthur and Reyna go to the market to buy various ingredients.

Reyna continued to see Arthur as the young man picked up a lot of spice. Some of them he doesn't even know.

In addition to vegetables and seasonings, Arthur buys a lot of chicken offal that is still bleeding. This made Reyna even more confused, but she still did not ask.

Once from the market, they look for agents to buy boat tickets. But they finally had to spend the night at the inn because the next ship would leave the next morning.

...***...

The next morning.

After breakfast, Arthur and Reyna head straight to a small harbor on the edge of town close to a big river. Other than them, it seemed that quite a number of people were lining up to board the ship.

At around 08:30 a.m., a large merchant ship finally arrived.

Arthur, Reyna, and the other passengers boarded the ship after experiencing ticket checks. They then went to their respective rooms to tidy up the luggage and check the bed.

After the people finished moving the goods to be sold to another city, the ship finally departed.

After sailing long enough, they finally passed the wider and quieter river. They could see the forest on the right or left of the river.

At that time, Arthur finally decided to leave his room.

Arriving on the deck of the ship, Arthur sees many young couples who look romantic. He ignored them, immediately going to look for a position near the edge of the deserted deck.

Klang's!

Arthur immediately took out a wooden chair, a purple bamboo fishing rod, and a bucket full of bleeding chicken hearts.

In front of everyone's astonished gazes, Arthur put a bait on the hook then directly threw it into the river.

It really made everyone feel like they were looking at the wrong scene!

Arthur then took out a large hat made of woven bamboo. Sensing the gazes of the people, he turned his head shamelessly. The young man looked at them and said.

"What do you see?!"

Seeing people turning their faces. Arthur refocused on the fishing line. He wore a hat to prevent the heat while whistling casually.

Totally enjoying himself and ignoring those around him!
