Chương 131: Picking Up The Pieces (3)

"Is everyone ready?" Coux asked.

It didn't take them two days to finalise Zero's escort party. Zenobia was very firm about who to send. Coux was in charge of the expedition and nobody disagreed. The party of five consisted of Coux, Amaraline, Qin Yun, Sekkin and Wiser. Hua Tuo was worried when Wiser volunteered to go with them. The strategist had no means of protecting himself, much less Zero. The oddball was human through and through.

"Don't worry," Wiser smiled. "Demon Lord Baal gave his word, nothing will happen. Besides, I don't feel like hanging out with a bunch of wussies in the village who cannot see past some flimsy stereotype."

At that, nobody protested further. Mitchnew was unhappy that she couldn't accompany Zero to the Spring of Vitality. However, she didn't have much of a choice. Sekkin managed to convince her to stay behind to look out for threats. The half-demon was a much better candidate for the escort party for obvious reasons.
