Chapter 116 Xayah

"A human friend?!"

Luo looked at Xia blankly, and Xia rolled her eyes at him in return.

"Perhaps before we even met—"

"That guy has also heard of Kasumi, and seems to know you guys quite well."

"ah?!"

Luo was stunned. How come he didn't remember having such a human friend?

Since meeting Kasumi, she has become his everything, and because of this, he is no longer interested in making friends with humans, something that Kasumi finds repulsive.

"Jupiter, be more specific—what's his name?"

He said his name was Herren.

"Helen?"

Luo racked his brains but couldn't recall when he had ever heard of that name before.

Seeing Luo deep in thought, Xia said with amusement.

"Think carefully, maybe it's one of my close friends whom I've been keeping secret?"

"No way, honey—what else did that guy say?"

"He said he came from Freljord, specifically to help us."

"Freljord? That's even stranger. I've never been to that godforsaken place!"

At this point, Xayah also began to have doubts. Ever since she and Rakan met, they had always been inseparable, and she had never heard of Rakan having any friends in Freljord.

They even came all this way to help? Isn't Freljord quite far away?

"You still have such kind-hearted human friends?"

"No—that's strange, he really said he's my friend?"

"Yes, he even knows about your early life—"

"Hiss~"

Lomo stroked his chin, his handsome brows furrowing together.

Where is he?

"He said he would wait for you there, on the mudflats on the east coast."

"Alright, I'll go take a look."

"But Luo, you have to be careful—there are several hundred of them."

"7

"Then I'll go with you."

At this moment, Xia walked to Luo's side and took his arm.

"As long as the two of us are together, a mere few hundred people can't stop us."

"Heron, are you on watch tonight?"

Olaf yawned as he looked at Heron, who was guarding outside the camp. There were other soldiers on night watch around the camp, but Heron was deliberately placed alone here.

"Yes, Olaf, you go and rest. I'll keep watch tonight—or rather, I'm waiting for our guests."

Herren held a forging hammer in his hand, swinging it back and forth with small movements—his forging urge had returned, but unfortunately, there was nothing for him to hammer with right now.

"Alright then, just shout if you need anything, make sure it's loud! I'm a very sound sleeper."

"Haha, get lost!"

After driving Olaf away, Herren waited alone under the moonlight.

If Luo really comes, that's fine—if he doesn't, then Helen will just have to pretend he was supposed to keep watch tonight.

Until late at night, Herren hadn't seen a single bird or feather, which made him quite drowsy.

"Hey buddy, is that hammer of yours really that fun?"

Herren, who had been nodding incessantly, suddenly woke up and turned his head away in displeasure.

"I'm saying, you Vastaya people walk without making a sound, right?"

Upon seeing who it was, Herren's face showed surprise, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Wow, man—you're this handsome?"

When the two-dimensional world shone into the three-dimensional world, Herren finally realized what kind of existence this man, described as "charming and dashing" in the background story, truly was.

Even without those dazzling golden feathers, his face and unique temperament alone make him a handsome man.

"You flatter me, my friend. But many people praise me like that—including my sweetheart. She walks so quietly. She once infiltrated a military camp of tens of thousands of men and killed their officers. The soldiers didn't even find out until the next day."

Only then did Herren notice the figure standing far away.

Those dark red feathers, that upright figure—who else could it be but Xia?

"Oh—should I be glad you didn't slit my throat?"

"Of course not, we're 'friends,' aren't we? Although I'm pretty sure I don't know you at all—"

"Now that we know each other, don't we?"

Herren smiled and extended his hand in a friendly manner.

Luo also reached out and shook hands with him.

"You're a strange human—I heard from my people that you claimed to be here to help us?"

"certainly."

Helen casually greeted Xia in the distance, but Xia was clearly not as friendly as Luo. In the bright moonlight, Helen could clearly see her snort softly, turn her head away, and not even want to look at Helen again.

Herren didn't mind, at least Lo was clearly able to communicate.

"We come from Freljord and have heard about the plight of the Ionians—and coincidentally, we also believe in the spirits of nature, so we have traveled a great distance to help and protect this nascent land."

"Oh? You really are...noble? But you're actually here to help the Ionians?"

"What? You're not Ionians?"

"Haha, although we are both in Ionia, we are Vastaya, and we are not with those humans."

Luo Wen smiled gently.

"But since you love nature, I think we can indeed be considered friends."

Having said that, Luo stood up and, as if on stage, gracefully waved his golden feather and performed a rather elegant bow.

"So, as a friend, would you be willing to visit our tribe?"

"Of course—now?"

"Anytime is fine."

"Let's do it now. I'll go tell my people."

Herren was more than happy to oblige, and immediately stood up and walked into the camp.

Instead of going to find the unreliable Olaf, he went to Fiona's tent and woke her up by poking her face again.

Fiona was already used to Herren's antics. Without even opening her eyes, she turned over and faced away from Herren.

"What is it?"

"I'm going out to see the Vastaya we met during the day. While I'm gone, you watch over this place."

""

"oh----"

Fiona casually agreed.

But a moment later, she suddenly rolled over.

"Where to?"

"Vastaya's camp."

"What? Do we need to get a few people to go with us?"

"No need—I can tell these Vastaya don't really trust us, so let's not provoke them."

"That's precisely why they're dangerous—who knows if they might try to harm you?"

Fiona was now fully awake. She stood up and reached for her sword.

"I'll go with you."

"No, thank you."

""

Herren quickly stopped her.

"Don't worry, I'm protected by the gods, nothing will happen to me—even if they lock me up or something, I'll run faster than anyone else."

How could it not be fast? Just press B on the spot, and the next second you'll be fast asleep in Winter's Claw.

"Olaf is an unreliable idiot, so you'll have to keep an eye on things here."

Seemingly sensing Herren's persistence and somewhat moved by his trust, Fiona hesitated for a moment before giving up.

"Alright then—be careful. If you're not back by dawn, I'll take some men into the mountains."
