《Gargoile found the library tower》Chapter 12. Rockslide
Advertisement
Week has passed after talk with the hunter. I´m looking forward how they dealt with the situation. I hope they are alright. I hope it wasn´t sunami. They couldn´t have survived that.
Since I wanted to meet him today for sure, I had to visit six new places. Well it didn´t go so easily. Five of them were in middle of desert. Of course I didn´t meet anybody. One time I was on bottom of the sea. It was like someone gave middle finger for complaining about water sparsity. Honestly I don´t know if I tried to open the door what would have happened. I´m glad it is over now.
Thanks to my mental map skill I could notice life outside this place about quarter kilometre away. I knew hunter was coming here. I choosed to wait since it would be dangerous represent my capabilities. He must have so idea thanks to me saving him from the wolves. It is still better to say in save side.
It didn´t take mush time to him arriving in front of me. He looked pale. He seemed to want to say something to me. Something must have happened. There was sorrow in his face but not because something bad had happened to him. It seemed like he was sorry about something which was about me. It was sorrow of conscience.
Has he betrayed me? No. That isn´t the case. He is only one here. Just say it. This waiting is killing me.
"Storm hit our village. There was no property damages. Live in village has become normal. Thanks to your advise we didn´t experience any difficulties." (hunter)
Ok. So far so good. I´m just waiting word "but".
"But." (hunter)
Here it comes.
"Path here was way different than before. It took more time than I thought." (hunter)

You can´t be serious!
He is becoming even sader than before. That isn´t important. My anger is rising even more than his sorrow. Calm down. He isn´t breaking any library rules. I can´t do anything against him.
"There were two victims." (hunter)
What? Didn´t you say everything is normal and properties were unharmed? How could any victims arise then?
"Rockslide killed two merchant traveling down there. They didn´t know that path was dangerous. They could have survived if someone had stayed home close to there. They would have advised saver path or even allow staying over night. They used to visit here about once per season. They couldn´t stay since houses were empty." (hunter)
I see. It is my fault that they died. He sure knows me feel. Of course I would feel downhearted. I know these things happen all the time. I had no bad thought when I advised. It just happened to be useless to give an advise.
No word were needed to say between us. No. More accurately there were no words for this. Sorry would just harm us more.
"Thank you for telling me. I would like you to go straight to the point in the future though." (Gargoile)
"Yeah. Sorry about that. I normally wouldn´t be in charge of telling but I´m only one how has meet you. I feel they think you are just my imagination." (hunter)
"I can see that. What did you tell them? Am I great wizard, gargoyle or something else?" (Gargoile)
I didn´t expect an answer but I got one.
"Something else." (hunter)
I don´t know if he is joking with me or is he so uncomfortable about talking. More I talk with him more covinced I become about his denseness.
"I mean I told you were my troll friend. It is my villages custom to say they heard it from troll when you aren´t allowed to say. Normally they are just messing around but they won´t ask anything more afterwards. I think I have to say something soon though." (hunter)
"I see." (Gargoile)
That suprised me.
"One more thing before I go. Victims had child. For now we can help her but sooner or later her ave to move ahead since there is contract from merchant guild. I would like to bring her here to learn." (hunter)
