Leech divided his attention, directing Corpse Ghost Biqi to grab its weapon and head out. At the same time, his body as the Baron in Bonta Market stood up, pushed the door open, and walked outside.
The elf and the Snake Woman, who were in the middle of a lesson, watched Leech emerge and instinctively turned to look at him.
But Leech paid them no mind.
Once in the courtyard, Leech put his fingers to his lips and blew a sharp whistle.
"SCREEE—!"
An answering cry came from the sky.
The whoosh and flap of wings echoed back as the Horse-headed Eagle, Rocket, descended from the sky.
"Go to Date Palm Village," Leech said to Rocket. "You should understand."
"COO! COO!" Rocket nodded.
Jonney walked out from a dark corner and mounted Rocket.
With Rocket's speed, the journey from Bonta Market to Date Palm Village, which normally took a day, wouldn't take long at all.
