Chapter 189: Lani's Directionlessness
"That's right, Mr. Blazer, it was Mr. Galie who told me you were here, and I happen to know the man you are looking for." Xia Yu said with a smile.
He wasn't making this up, he was really following the side quests in the game. After all, a lie often requires more lies to cover it up, just like a snowball that will only get bigger and bigger.
Instead of doing that, just don't lie and let everything be traceable.
So he first took a walk in the foggy forest, and then went to the wandering merchant Kale to ask about the wolf howling. Because he often patronized Kale's business and helped him drive away robbers several times, Kale had a high level of trust in him.
After asking about the wolf howl and learning about Blaze, he asked Kale why Blaze was there, and then he knew that the other party was looking for a man named Darriwell.
Although he already knew all this in the game, reality is not a game after all, so everything has to be reasonable and logical.
Of course, the information about Hound Knight Darriwell came from the game, but this kind of information is not afraid of any problems, because no one knows whether what he said is true or false anyway.
"Oh? Do you know where the traitor is?" Blaze's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his sharp teeth were exposed outside his lips. "A traitor should be punished. Please tell me his location and I will provide a reward."
"Okay, here's the map with his location marked on it."
Seeing that Blaze's voice had become a little colder, Xia Yu didn't say anything and just wanted to have a meal first. He still understood the atmosphere.
After taking out a simple map from his arms, Xia Yu handed it to Blaze.
This map was drawn by him personally after field research and combining it with the map in the game. Although it is not very sophisticated, most people can still understand it.
He didn't think of taking Blaze directly to find Darryl. After all, he had just met Blaze, and his sudden enthusiasm might arouse suspicion.
“Hmm…”
Blaze took the map with a serious expression, then opened it and began to look at it, but as he looked at it, his brows furrowed.
"What does the map look like?"
"?"
Hearing Blaze's muttering, Xia Yu frowned and scratched his ear with his little finger in confusion, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
But seeing Blaze's distressed look, Xia Yu still leaned over to take a look out of concern. However, after just one glance, his face immediately fell.
"Um...you hold the map upside down." Xia Yu twitched his lips and reminded in a low voice.
"Oh?" Blaze woke up suddenly and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Sorry, sorry, I'm really not good at looking at maps to find things."
It's not that you're not good at it, it's that you simply don't know how to do it!
Xia Yu complained in his heart, then watched Blaze turn the map around and look at it in the wrong direction again.
“…”
Is this guy really the cool half-wolf Blaze? Could he have been replaced by the Disaster Shadow? Even if it was the Disaster Shadow, he shouldn't be so stupid.
Xia Yu took the map from Blaze speechlessly, then pointed at the reference objects he had drawn and started talking.
"This is where we are now. This marked location is south of Lake Yaquir. As long as we follow this route, we will pass Lake Yaquir and the remains of Post Street and finally arrive at the marked location."
"I see..." Blaze nodded, not quite understanding. "So, as long as I follow this direction, I can reach the traitor's location?"
As he spoke, Blaze pointed in front of him, which was the east on the map.
Xia Yu: “…”
There's the sea over there. You're obviously a half-wolf. It's ok for you to be afraid of the cold, but why are you also a directionally challenged person? Your royal greatsword requires such high intelligence, where did your intelligence go?
Seeing Xia Yu's speechless eyes, Blaze coughed lightly, knowing that he must have pointed in the wrong direction, and immediately straightened his face and said seriously.
"As expected, we still need to go to a higher place to determine the direction. Wait for me for a moment. I will go up and take a look first."
After saying that, Blaze planned to climb to the top of the ruins again, and then use his werewolf vision to determine the location on the map.
"Wait a minute." Xia Yu pulled Blaze's fur cloak speechlessly, "Let me take you there. If you're like this, you'll never find Darriwell's location."
"Who said that!" Upon hearing this, Blaze's face immediately straightened, "I heard that Darriwell escaped to this area, so I came here alone, alone!"
Why do you say it in such a smug tone? Doesn't this make you seem even more directionally challenged?
Xia Yu felt that he had more complaints today than in the previous month.
I can't dwell on this issue anymore, otherwise I will become a funny person sooner or later.
Thinking that he might become a fool like Xia Yu the Ash, Xia Yu the Faded couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly spoke to Blaze.
"Okay, okay, don't worry about it. I'll take you to find Darriwell. Give me the map."
"Really?" Blaze was delighted at first, but soon became confused. "But why are you helping me like this? We just met."
How come your IQ comes back at a time like this, bastard? Switch back to your directionally challenged mode!
Xia Yu, who was roaring in his heart, showed a helpless smile on his face: "Maybe it's because I'm a good person who loves justice, and you also know Kale, a friend of a friend is a friend, so I'm willing to help."
Of course, the most important thing is for the sake of your sister Lani. What does this mean, Marika's black sword, Michaela's sharp blade, and Lani's poor sense of direction?
"Thank you very much for your help. I will prepare a generous gift for you." Hearing Xia Yu say this, Blaze thanked him earnestly, "Shall we leave now?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? The traitor you are looking for won't suddenly disappear." Xia Yu rolled his eyes and pointed at the dead Rune Bear on the side. "I haven't had breakfast yet. Let me eat first."
"This..." Blaze was stunned, but when he thought about the fact that he needed help, he was too embarrassed to refuse. "Well, let me cook. Don't look at me like this, I still know some royal cooking skills."
"Hehe, no matter what kind of cooking skills you have in front of me, they can't compare to my monster cooking skills."
As he spoke, Xia Yu wanted to pat Blazer on the shoulder, but when he stretched out his hand, he found that he was a little too confident. He could pat him, but he had to stand on tiptoe. But the next second, Xia Yu naturally changed to patting his arm.
"Just wait a moment. I'll show you my cooking skills. Just think of it as a meal to entertain new friends. This is definitely the most delicious food you've ever tasted."
Blaze laughed and shook his head at this. He grew up in a royal family and had eaten all kinds of delicious food. However, he did not criticize Xia Yu. After all, they were friends, so he should give him some face.
No matter what the Rune Bear looks like in the end, he will eat it all.
