Walker Of The Worlds

After hearing senior Xukong's praise about the Lord, Lin Mu understood that he must be careful with him. A person as smart as the Lord must be carefully dealt with.

Hei Bao saw that Lin Mu was still staring at the metal plates, thus spoke out,

"Are you fine?"

Lin Mu snapped out of his thoughts and hurriedly spoke,

"Ah yes. Let's go now."

Hei Bao nodded and led Lin Mu out of the safe house. A few minutes later they were standing in the shop upstairs. There, Hei Bao went to talk with the old woman and spoke to her about Lin Mu and their current situation. The Old Woman did not speak much and only nodded, before leaving the room to do her own tasks.

Hei Bao showed Lin Mu off to the door and let him leave. Lin Mu stepped out of the door and saw the dim sunlight that was illuminating the town and the clouds that were trying to block it. There did not seem to be any snow today, and the previous day's snow had melted too. He let out a breath and saw it fog up.

"Should I take a look around the town?" Lin Mu muttered to himself.

"I think you should; get an idea of what's actually happening. You may also need to talk with those people from the night vigil." Xukong advised.

"Ah yes! The night vigil. I nearly forgot about them." Lin mu replied.

Having decided what he was gonna do, Lin Mu chose a path and started walking on it. He first decided to go check on the mercenary camp as it was close by. The safe house was located in the western part of the town, thus this was the most obvious choice.

Lin Mu saw some people while walking and observed that they seemed to be unnerved and some seemed to even be scared. Lin Mu spotted some familiar faces, but they were not the residents of the eastern part. He continued on and reached the mercenary camp.

As soon as he got close to the mercenary camp, he could hear the increase in the noise. He crossed the exit and saw the mercenaries gathered up in an area. They all seemed to be shouting about something, and a tall and muscled mercenary seemed to be directing them.

Lin Mu went to the group to try and listen to what was happening. He glanced at the tall and muscled mercenary and could sense that he was different. He got even more closer and narrowed his eyes after hearing their shouts.

"We won't stand this anymore! They did not listen to us when mercenaries disappeared, and now that it happened to their own townsmen, they're up in arms about it." The tall and muscled mercenary shouted.

"YES!" The crowd shouted.

"They did not give us answers first and now they suspect us, we won't bear this injustice!" The tall and muscled mercenary shouted.
