章 122: Cynthia’s Shrine

Xander spent the afternoon watching over Tiva as she played with the Kumika. Though he still had his reservations about keeping Ethereals as pets, this one seemed far too docile and friendly to stir trouble.

Just as promised, Master Ramone returned in the evening to take them to the Guild House.

Xander paid the innkeeper a thousand Vireks for the food and lodging before stepping outside with Tiva and the others.

A simple box carriage drawn by two brown stallions awaited them on the street. It was decorated with colorful wildflowers, and a patch of grass covered its sloping roof.

Tiva was sad about leaving the playful Kumika behind, but the sight of the beautiful brown carriage quickly put a smile on her face.

Once everyone was on board, Master Ramone whispered some instructions to the coachman before joining them in the cozy black cabin.

As the clock struck four, the coachman whipped the horses, setting the carriage into motion.
