Just as Joey turned to leave, the orc suddenly sensed something and immediately turned to look in the direction Joey had left.
"A fleeting killing intent just now!"
He spoke in the Orcish language, but those around him did not understand the meaning of his words.
"That human looks familiar!"
The orc watched Joey walk away, trying hard to remember where he had seen him before.
"Linhai Town!"
The orc's pupils suddenly contracted; he remembered.
He had participated in the attack on Tiger Rock Mountain and chased after Catherine, who was being escorted away. In the end, they lost her at the beach, and even the tribe's sorcerer could not bring them back.
And Joey, this human, looks remarkably similar to the person who sailed away that day.
"It seems that coming to Sandstone City was definitely the right decision!"
He didn't chase after them, but instead turned around and gestured with his hands to buy some steamed buns from the shop owner.
...
"Medes, wake up, breakfast is ready!"
Joey returned to the workshop and kicked Medes, who was lying in the corner.
Medes stretched and, seeing that the sword was still in his hand, felt satisfied.
"That sword won't fill your stomach, eat up!"
After saying that, Joey ignored him and walked into the inner room with a bag of breakfast.
"Knock knock knock!"
Joey knocked on his door, but the person inside was no longer him.
"who?"
"I!"
"roll!"
"I'll bring you breakfast, and then I'm leaving!"
Footsteps could be heard coming from inside.
"Squeak—"
The door opened, and Catherine still looked angry.
"My mistake, my mistake, I misunderstood! I'll correct it next time!"
A qualified man must learn to assess situations, be flexible, and be thick-skinned to win a woman's heart; even if he fails, he will still suffer some loss.
"snort!"
Catherine took the breakfast, turned around and went back into her room, but the door was not closed.
(See, isn't that it?)
Joey followed him into the house with a cheerful smile, closing the door behind him.
"I couldn't buy any meat buns today, so make do with these for now!"
Catherine carried the heavy breakfast bag, but she didn't think there was a lack of variety inside.
"By the way, I have something serious to tell you!"
"Can you possibly have anything serious to do?"
"What are you saying? When have I ever been inappropriate!"
Catherine didn't argue with him anymore, but instead picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.
"I just encountered an orc on the street!"
Joey spoke casually, but upon hearing this, Catherine immediately stood up, forgot about the breakfast on the table, and went straight to Joey's side.
"Did they come with me? How many of them were there? Were you followed when you came back...?"
"Stop, stop, stop, my dear Lady Catherine, don't be so nervous, have your breakfast first!"
Joey didn't want to scare Catherine with this, but he felt it was necessary to tell her.
He picked up the breakfast from the table and placed it in front of Catherine.
Catherine relaxed slightly, but she didn't take the bag of breakfast, indicating that she had completely lost her appetite.
“I’m not sure if I came with you. I’ve only seen one orc so far. I was very careful when I came back to make sure no one was following me.”
"However, I suspect he didn't come with you. It wouldn't be that fast. Besides, judging from his behavior, he's already been in this Sandstone City for a while!"
"are you sure?"
I'm not sure!
(Just kidding, what's the point of confirming this? This is just making me take the blame if something goes wrong, I'm not stupid!)
"you……"
"My dear Lady Catherine, this matter is truly uncertain. I have already expressed my speculation, though it is, of course, merely a speculation!"
(I'm not the boss; an employee can't overstep my bounds!)
"Alright, I hope this orc isn't after me!"
Catherine's worried expression didn't disappear, but her still-unfilled stomach was already growling.
She picked up a thick piece of bread, took a big bite, and quickly chewed and swallowed it.
...
The city lord's mansion.
Lord Saril was not present at this time.
"Lan, I think I met someone the chief has been looking for today!"
The orc stood beside the pillar and spoke to the shadows.
"Is it that woman?"
The female spirit's voice appeared again, seemingly the whisper of a messenger from hell.
"No, it was a man. He was the one who escorted that woman back then!"
The orc added.
What do you need me to do?
"Keep an eye on him and find that woman's trail, since it's not convenient for me to show myself!"
"good!"
The two abruptly ended their conversation, and the hall fell silent once more.
The winter sun is warm and comfortable, making people want to stay.
Joey lay leisurely in the sun at the entrance of the workshop, while Little Black nestled in his arms, equally serene.
"Meow!"
Xiao Hei suddenly stood up and stared at an alleyway ahead.
"What's wrong, Xiao Hei?"
Joey looked in the direction Xiao Hei was staring at, but didn't see anything. However, he didn't doubt that Xiao Hei had discovered something.
He picked up Xiao Hei and carried it on his shoulder, then strode quickly toward the alley.
A huge figure quickly ran away.
"Orcs!"
Joey's expression hardened, and he quickly followed.
A shadowy figure slowly walked into the workshop.
