Capítulo 176: A Chat With The Queen's Hand

Later on, Bastien called for me. I went to see him. He was right above the nesting area of the bandits. It was basically a mountain littered with holes in which the bandits rested and hoarded their treasure. Surrounding the mountain, there were some bandit groups set up with a few kids playing here and there. Several Lava Sharks swam through this area, making the water steaming hot. The Lava sharks were being treated as dogs here though, which felt sort of demoralising when I thought about it.

Bastien had crossed his arms while peering off into the unknown.

‘No blind jokes. Starting now.’

I reminded myself to make no jokes about Bastien’s incapability to see things.

‘What you looking at?’

Gah! First thing I said. I expected some sort of growl or snarl in response, however Bastien just kept facing in that direction. I stood there in silence for a bit, then he pointed in front of both of us. That was towards the east.

‘Um… is there something I’m not seeing?’
