"How much was in that chest anyway?" Remi asked.
"More than enough to buy half the town."
"Huh?!" Remi almost screamed. "Do you know how much that will cost? Just this land already reaches up to over 4 million bars of gold."
I know this town's rich, but there's no way they'd give us that much amount of money."
"They didn't. The Lord did."
"..." Remi stopped moving and looked at me with a strange look. "The Lord of our empire did?"
"Yup."
Remi didn't respond, and after a while, the wind grew stronger. The trees around us rustled wildly.
I turned back to look at him, and his eyes were glowing bright purple, a black mist leaked out from him in random places. He looked serious and concerned at the same time.
"Scared?" I smiled at him.
"Never." Remi replied. Then, he put his hands in his pocket and kept on moving.
We walked together silently for a while, and then I asked him, "Remi, why do you hate the Lord of the Empire so much?"
He didn't reply. So I took it as a chance to go on talking. "You know people call him the Lord of the new era, right?"
I watched see his reaction, but he only grunted. It was a bit disappointing, so I tried again. "I also heard that he might even become King one day."
"It won't happen." Remi spoke strongly. "I'll make sure of it."
"This coming from a guy who couldn't even beat a single necromancer?"
"Shut up!" Remi pulled my cheeks. "You know I had to hold back because this was your first. I could easily kill that guy in a minute...." Remi's word slowly drooped as well as did his grip on my cheeks.
He was staring at something behind me.
"What is it?" But Remi didn't answer, and suddenly he disappeared.
