Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu's desire for more information was met with a warm response from Elder Niji.

"Of course, I'll be happy to. I seldom get to talk to others this much. The children in the tribe are also too distant from me and have their own duties to fulfill. Besides, I don't want to expand their ideas too much or they would just be disappointed at their reality." Elder Niji said, a trace of melancholy in his voice.

Lin Mu could see the benefit in this too.

'If they knew there was bounty in the world but they were never fated to see it, they would certainly be depressed.' Lin Mu reckoned.

He would have not found it good, and would have even thought it oppressive to keep information like this. But knowing that the Haima Tribe had been trapped here for over a hundred thousand years, perhaps it was better this way.

Even with the conflicts in his heart, Lin Mu knew better not to judge them, as he did not know what they had gone through.

"So, why is it that one cannot get past the Rust Hail Mountains? What kind of danger prevents them from crossing?" Lin Mu questioned.

Just as Elder Niji was about to answer him though, a few taps were heard from the outside and a few words were also spoken in the language of the Haima tribe.

"Ah~ we can continue this with our meal. I reckon you must be hungry?" Elder Niji asked.

"Famished." Lin Mu replied.

He really was hungry and was looking for a settlement mainly, so that he could find something to eat. Though he had gotten distracted from all the information after coming to the Haima tribe.
