Although he was curious as to what sort of aims the hunt he had acquired contained, Valyr was left with no alternative however to place that thought on maintain for now, noticing that one other individual was already inside the space he had simply stepped foot in.

Showing to be in his late twenties, the person that was within the space earlier than Valyr arrived had quick black hair and pitch black irises, giving him the sensation that the person didn’t like standing out that a lot.

Then once more, that feeling was negated by the massive scar that spanned from the person’s proper cheek down all the way down to his left shoulder, as an alternative giving Valyr the sensation that he was taking a look at a wolf in sheep’s clothes.

Attempting to recall what he and Arcenne talked about the day past concerning the potential opponents from the Hekaetos Forging Emporium he can be preventing up towards within the duel, Valyr positioned the backpacks he had been carrying all this time to a considerably distant spot earlier than heading to the place the person with a lightweight smile.

“Good to fulfill you, the title’s Valyr.” With Valyr extending his hand out, the person was left with no alternative however to reply in form, grabbing the hand Valyr prolonged earlier than introducing himself quickly after.

“Leron,” stated the person in response to Valyr’s introduction. As the 2 of them let go of one another’s palms, Leron checked out Valyr from head to toe for a bit earlier than posing a query to him. “You the one I am preventing towards?”

“Life and dying duel?” questioned Valyr in response, pondering that the potential of the person in entrance of him taking part in a unique duel was not low. Nevertheless, he was compelled to discard that thought as soon as Leron nodded his head as a response to his query, prompting Valyr to nod again with a solemn expression.

Turning round to move to the place his backpacks right here, Valyr left Leron on his personal for the meantime as he sat close to his backpacks, deciding to check out the outline of the hunt he had acquired simply as he had stepped foot into the room.

‘I ponder if the unhealthy feeling I am getting from the person has any relation to the hunt.’ With this thought in thoughts, he commanded the system to point out him the hunt by means of his thoughts, not wanting Leron to see what he was doing, although the latter was simply minding his personal enterprise.

‘Guess that solutions my earlier query.’ As soon as Valyr was completed studying by means of the outline of the hunt he had acquired, he inwardly let loose an extended sigh. Except for that, he realized from how the hunt was worded out that the life and dying duel he was going to partake in had a 3rd celebration concerned within the matter.

‘At this level, I would not even be stunned if the mastermind of the Clossbay Killer operation is the third celebration the system is speaking about.’ Taking in a deep breath to calm himself down, he then opened up the chat perform and despatched a message to Tryndall concerning the hunt he had acquired, telling him that there was a chance for his life and dying duel with the Hekaetos Forging Emporium and the mastermind of the Clossbay Killer operation to be associated someway.

Not lengthy after, Tryndall despatched again a response to Valyr that the suspect that determined to assist them advised them that they’d truly interacted with somebody from the Hekaetos Forging Emporium, one of many center degree authorities at that.

After that, he knowledgeable Valyr that they’d delve deeper into this lead within the meantime and replace him about it as soon as they discovered extra, wishing the latter good luck on his duel on the very finish of his message.

Frivolously scratching his head as he closed up the display screen in entrance of him that contained the chat perform, Valyr seemed again at Leron, who was at the moment within the strategy of sharpening his blade. Recalling the listing of individuals he and Arcenne talked about yesterday concerning his potential opponents, a lightweight frown ultimately crept up his face as he couldn’t recall Arcenne informing him of a Leron.

‘Did Arcenne overlook about him? However did not she inform me yesterday that the entire folks she talked about have been kind of the entire folks inside the emporium?’ Feeling that the foreboding feeling he was getting from Leron earlier appeared to be worsening with each passing second, Valyr determined to maneuver nearer to the place Leron was and ask the latter a few questions.

“Say, Leron. After they advised you to take part on this duel, how did you react?” As Valyr requested Leron this query, the latter contemplated over it for a bit earlier than opening his mouth.

“I do not know.” Leron shrugged his shoulders. “All I do know is that the boss advised me to take part within the duel, and so I did.”

“I see.” Nodding in response, a frown crept up on Valyr’s face as soon as extra. “What have been you doing within the emporium earlier than you have been advised to take part within the duel?”

“I… uh… I used to be tasked with lifting heavy supplies for the emporium. Yeah.” In contrast to his earlier reply, the place he approached it with a touch of nonchalance, Leron’s eyes briefly widened because it was then that he had an thought as to why Valyr was asking him questions. Arising with an excuse on the spot, Leron recalled the orders he was advised final evening earlier than coming right here to the Farraway Coliseum, inwardly cursing at himself for being too relaxed.

“I see.” Nodding as soon as extra, the frown on Valyr’s face went deeper as he headed again to the place his backpacks have been. Then, eradicating the items of armor from the backpacks, he went forward and placed on the Half Wyvern Armor set he had introduced together with him.

‘Judging by how Leron responded to my questions, it appears the mastermind of the Clossbay Killer incident has a relationship of some kind with forging emporium. Then once more, I haven’t got sufficient concrete proof to say that is the case. Both approach…’

‘This duel may simply kill me if I am not cautious.’
