War Destiny Of Future - 165 Chapter 157

Chris took out a bag of gold, waving it and showing the contents to Merchant A and his gang.

“You guys just wanted some money right? I can give this whole bag of gold to you if you can tell me everything you know about Quill Town and provide everything we need in order to pass through the entrance.” said Chris.

————————————————————————

Unable to resist the temptation (coercion) from Chris, Merchant A told them everything he knows about that holy city.

According to the merchant, Quill Town has a set of special rules that need to be obeyed by all of the outsiders if they wish to enter into town. First, they need to be cleansed inside out before they are able to pass through the entrance. Second, they need to wear a uniform outfit that is the same as the residents there. Third, Quill Town has no mayor, the town is in charge by the High Priest, so his order is the rule of this town, they need to behave well based on the High Priest’s teaching, no dirty and uncultured deed, no dirty words and swearing, and no dirty mind are allowed.

“So basically it’s all about clean-clean.” said Sky, with an insulting intention.

“Sky, don’t make fun of this, you will never know how much suffering a person with mysophobia had to go through.” said Chris.

“Why do I have a feeling that your words are more insulting than mine.” said Sky.

“Just your imagination.” said Chris.

Then Merchant A took out some clothes from the storeroom and handed it to Sky.

“These are some extra clothes I have here, you guys can have it. And there is a hot spring in my back yard, it has the cleansing effect.” said the merchant while staring at the money bag in Chris’s hand.

Chris sighed and handed that bag of gold to Merchant A.

“I’ll bring you to the hot spring, follow me.” said the merchant. And so they followed him and his gang to the backyard, and there is indeed a medium-sized hot spring in there…

Meanwhile, secret base. Jason had helped the girl with the analysis of that Teddy gnome’s body and found out something really disturbing about that creature. He frowned.

“Mr. Jason, what’s wrong?” Yuki asked.

Jason took a deep breath before saying anything.

“This thing wasn’t even a living creature in the beginning.” said Jason.

“What do you mean by that?” Yuki asked.

“It is originally an ordinary Teddy bear, but something had turned it into a malformed living creature.” said Jason.

“But how?” Yuki asked.

“Have you ever heard about a type of *Gu worm that can turn an object to a living creature.” said Jason.

“Heh? But how does that thing get into Ai’s mini space?” Yuki asked.

“Worm user… Black!” said Ai, a bit astonished.

“But, how about Pinky?” Yuki asked.

“Well, she probably just an overgrown well built rabbit that had been hibernating underground for a long time while getting nourished by the magic in there.” said Jason.

“Oh… Okay.”

As they are talking, they did not notice that the specimens of the teddy gnome start growing and multiplying on its own…

*Gu worm is a type of Eastern witchcraft that used trained worms to cause harm to their target, although some could be helping people as well.

Borderline of Quill City. Sky and the other had done with the cleansing. Merchant A prepared a few cups of herb tea and said it’s to cleanse their body from inside.

“Laxative?” Sky asked, rather suspecting.

“No no no, it’s not, it’s a type of magic herbal tea that will clear negative thoughts of whoever that consumed it. And thus cleanse mind.” said the merchant.

Chris took a cup of herbal tea and smelled it.

“Mmm… Don’t worry. It’s safe for consumption. But before that… ” said Chris, then he waved his hand, applied some magic to the herbal tea.

“Now, it’s better.” said so, Chris took a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Sky, Sky hesitated for a while before drank the whole cup of tea in a single gulp. The others followed.

After they drank the herbal tea, Sky and others changed into the outfit given by the merchant which are actually pure white robes with hood.

“Chris, you actually look nice in that robe.” said Sky in a teasing tone.

“Shut up.”

Then, they proceed to the entrance of Quill’s town.

“Hello, welcome to the Holy City, Quill Town. May I know where you all come from and the reason you all come to this town?” said one of the guards at the entrance in a polite tone.

Sky and others are rather surprised at his polite attitude as they weren’t expecting that.

“We are from Central City, we had accepted a quest from Quill City.” said Sky.

Except for Chris and Ben, the others are surprised by Sky’s words.

“I see, so you are bounty hunters from Central City. This might sound troublesome but do you have any documents regarding the quest? I need to make a record for that.” said the guard.

“Yes, we have.” said so, Chris took out a letter and handed it to the guard, it is a quest confirmation record letter from the quest center.

“After I make a copy of this, you may proceed. Be sure to follow the rule of our town, have a nice day.” said the guard.

Seito and the other are totally surprised and confused, they all never thought that Sky and Chris really did accept a quest from the quest center, they thought Sky was lying to the guard.

*Something out of the story

Sky: “Dear readers.”

Chris: “Hmm?”

Sky: “As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer.”

Chris: “Mhm… There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup… But not recommended.”

Sky: “Ah… Haha. Yes, as Chris said.”

Chris: “But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : “By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows  two stickmen, stop reading it, it’s cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing.”
