The Echo in the Valley

The mountain people were kind. They prepared a lot of local specialties for Hao Ren and company before they set off on their journey. Despite the oversize backpack on Y’zaks’ back, which suggested they would not be short of supply, the mountain people insisted that they accept the gifts, saying it was their custom of bidding farewell. Overwhelmed by friendliness, Hao Ren gave in.

However, thanks had to go to Becky, who had formed a good relationship with the mountain people. The mercenary was highly respected among these foreigners. Her explanation was simple. "It’s easy to understand the mountain people—kindness for kindness, hatred for hatred. It’s very much similar to who I am. So, after a few times of doing them favours, we became friends."

Never thought she possessed such a rustic and simple side to her mercenary life.

After leaving the village, the group kept going without further delay. They went ahead at full steam for several days.
