Chapter 149: Array Path(1) (1/2)
”Are you out of your mind? That is even more difficult!” hollered Alyssa.
”Yes, I admit it is hard....for regular cultivators, that is. We are not proficient in the [Array Path], hence our lack of insight. However, what if we had someone that possessed the right set of eyes?” mused Heath.
Playing with his beards, Eden analyzed, ”That is possible. But we all know that Array masters left this continent a long time ago. Where can we find others?”
”That is where you got it wrong. I didn't say anything about an Array master. Someone that had just begun the [Array Path] would suffice, and luckily---”
Heath was cut off by Alyssa's rant, ”---Even at that, a beginner is still hard to find. The Path of Arrays is scarce in this part of the plane--”
”I have one!” exclaimed Heath.
Even his patient self was annoyed by Eden and Alyssa's antics.
”Now, you are making sense,” smiled Alyssa.
She had already tagged Heath for an over-the-top talkative. She couldn't count the number of times Heath had gone on and on instead of going straight to the point.
”Who is this 'Array beginner'? Is he good enough to find a gap in the Array?” questioned Eden.
”Don't worry about that. The other bounty teams will be the first to pass through, becoming a sort of scapegoat for us. The beginner would be useless if, after all the assistance he received, he is not able to produce the expected outcome,” comforted Heath.
The three heads were no shy of committing nefarious actions. That was how they had survived to this point.
Most of them were like Jake and had shipwrecked to the island. They could not leave the island due to the other islands being expensive to live in. Hence, they stayed here and stained themselves in the bloody world of bounty hunting.
While the conversation went on, most of them didn't fail to notice that one of the men in Heath's group was acting strange.
Pointing at him, Eden murmured, ”I assume this is our guy?”
”Heh, he doesn't look it,” smirked Alyssa.
The young man couldn't cower before the presence of the two leaders. He showed a sign of weakness which wasn't unnoticed by the rest.
Heath assured them, ”This is what we have. He has been on my team for a long time. So, I can vouch for his ability.”
He sideglanced at the young man, hinting at him to make a good impression.
”I'm Aydin,” introduced the young man.
He could feel the heavy weights of responsibility on his shoulders. That was why he wasn't comfortable.
”Hmmm... a [Realm-3 Stage-1] warrior. If he is that strong, then why is he so timid?” reasoned Eden.
”Hah, you can't blame him. Aydin is just twenty-six. He comes from a noble family of the Silver Kingdom, and was one of their best talents there,” smiled Heath.
His words of praise brightened the cheeks of Aydin, as the latter kept a calm face.
”...a noble from the Silver Kingdom. If so, why is he not on the Oel Island, but instead her?” asked Alyssa.
”You remember what happened four months ago? The attack on the ships. Well, Aydon was one of the few lucky ones to survive,” explained Heath.
Eden and Alyssa knew not to stick their nose in where it didn't concern them.
