Chapter 176: Treasure Room (1)

"Nothing will happen even if we fight here, Red. As far as I am concerned, fighting won't solve this problem. And to answer your question, I know a lot and I know about your system. I am your ally, not your enemy," the dragonewt exclaimed, as he met my eyes. "That is why you saw me in front of the citadel. I already anticipated that since I am your merchant coded by the game. Some players have this. Unfortunately, Fenrir…. or Wolf does not have one. It's a matter of luck."

As I listened to the merchant's lengthy explanation, I lowered my weapon and continued lending my ear. Since starting a fight would be a wise decision, I kept myself calm and continued the conversation.

"Why do you know these things? Why follow me when there are others out there in the world? And give me a reason to trust you, merchant. After what happened with Alice, my trust level plummeted to the ground."
