'A clean hit?'
[+22 EXP]
Esdras didn't know if this guy was joking or not. That was clearly a messy death.
Moreover importantly, this guy may have overheard some things. His hands grip tightened on the mace.
"Oh, are you going to kill me to eliminate witnesses? Ooof, that's scary~" the young man said shaking his head, he was not doing a good job of looking frightened at all.
"Why would I kill you for just that?" Esdras shrugged, "I simply executed a deserter, I have nothing to hide."
Esdras wasn't a cold blooded murderer, in any case he was in the right this time. There was no need to take things too far.
"That's nice of you, I guess I will get to live another day. You have my gratitude." The young man bowed, but his attitude was insincere.
"Oh, yeah? Well, not so fast. First of all, tell who you are and what are you doing in this forest?"
