Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 21: The southern city of crimes

Nix and Reegan's Jaw dropped when they saw the man. They were horrified to see him Because this man had his full armor and his face soaked in blood.

The identity of that man was the southern faction outlaw's commander bald guy Waltner.

"So Newbie how did you survive that shit?"

" "

Nix didn't utter a word in shock.

The man furrowed his brows.

"Goddammit! oi Newbie open your mouth"

"I escaped from that area and got lucky enough to get treatment for my injuries" Nix replied.

"hmm so, what's your story and how did you get out of the city walls? That knight bitch had her eyes on you what's up with that though?"

Nix Explained some parts and hid the parts where he killed some outlaws. He didn't want to become hostile towards him.

Waltner started laughing and opened his mouth.

"hahaha you poor brat but that was too unfair though"

Reagan intervened.

"Do you have water with you, sir? we have been dry for hours"

"hmm yes here" He threw a water pouch.

"Thank you!"

"So where are you both migrating to?"

Reegan scratched his head and opened his mouth.

"I am going to kalaranga" then he pointed to Nix and said, "And this guy is going to Barani."

Waltner face had a surprised expression as he opened his mouth

"Whoa Newbie it's good for you. We have the main base there and The city is under Outlaw's authority too. so, What's your strategy for which Outlaw team are you going to join? Well, whatever I live there too I will drop you there since I find your story entertaining."

He turned his gaze to Reegan

"And in your case you are not an Outlaw right? be careful out there if they find out that you are getting associated with Outlaws you will be considered as an Outlaw too plus you can get a carriage from Barani to travel for kalaranga so what's your choice Newbies."

"Thanks for your help, Sir!"

Waltner climbed on the Mutino and threw a rope ladder from the back of the Mutino. Nix and Reegan followed him and climbed it.

When they got inside the carriage their jaws dropped. Because the interior of the carriage was so luxurious with a sofa and there was a bed to put it in a simple word it looked like a mobile home or maybe it is called a caravan. It had many utensils and essential things.

"Make yourselves at home."

"Yes"

Waltner got out and stomped at the head of the Mutino.

"kyakkkkkk"

With a cry, it started to move and Waltner sat on its head and started drinking liquor which he had, and had a chain in his other hand which was tied with the Mutino to control it and for using it as a leash.

" " Nix was looking at the scene with a dumbfounded face, the Monster which he feared was being tamed and beaten like it's nothing.

"Kyaaakkkk"

Waltner stomped and pulled the leash, making it scream. It opened its bat wings and it started to flutter its wings and rose from the ground slowly.

"whoa!" Reegan exclaimed in awe.

When both peeped out of the window they were getting goosebumps from the feeling of flying on a gigantic monster. Suddenly their face contoured when they saw several dozens of bodies scattered on that cool and dark desert.

The scattered bodies were getting eaten by some hyenas the whole scene was grotesque to watch. They both took their eyes away from there and got their attention back inside the carriage and gazed at each other.

Reegan gave a hard gulp and started speaking.

"Whoa! bud if we were roaming there around this time we would have suffered the same fate."

Suddenly Waltner who was standing outside turned his neck slightly back and started talking.

"hahaha No, you wouldn't have suffered the same fate because hyenas are fundamentally weak creatures and can be slain easily but, The problem was with those punks. First, they asked for a ride back to the city"

He stopped for a second and continued.

"And then they tried to steal my ride and things. So I killed those dumbasses. Nix a small piece of advice if you join a bandits team be sure that you can handle the opponent and always be cautious before you make a move."

'What's with this guy? He slew those approximately 20-30 people so easily?... so, that's the reason why he was soaked in blood. I have to be cautious with him.'

Inwardly Nix thought to himself.

Nix and Reegan exchanged a glance with each other and Reegan started to sweat and Nix didn't know why. Suddenly Reegan took out a liquor bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table near them.

'You dumbass' He wanted to curse Reegan but he kept those words to himself and smiled inwardly.

"yes I will be," Nix replied calmly to Waltner

After that, they were sitting there silently and almost hours later the sun rose in the sky, and finally, the Mutino started to descend and a huge city surrounded by tall walls came to their view. The area out of the wall was desert but inside it looked there wasn't any scarcity of water.

Waltner stretched his hands wide open and shouted in a cheerful voice.

"Welcome to The southern city of crimes!"

After that, they landed down before the city walls.

"Nix decide which type of outlaw team you are going to be joining and looks like this is where we part our ways"

"Thanks for everything," Nix replied.

Waltner smirked.

"You are welcome. I think corrupted gods will support you. If you want some advice or want to get into the Shadow wolf Clan contact me I will be in our main base." He turned his gaze to Reegan and took his eyes back to Nix "And about your Teammate, I will help him out to get a carriage."

Reegan walked towards Nix and shook his hands with him.

"Always be in contact bro, I will inform you about the Regulars and how things work and any important stuff or information so don't lose that crystal"

Nix patted Reegan's shoulder and smiled.

"I will contact you as much as I can and you remember our deal!"

With a smirk, he walked away.

Nix started to walk towards the city gate which had some securities but they didn't check nix when he entered. When he entered the city the buildings and the streets looked the same as Ranrak City.

But the difference was this city was twice populated as Ranrak and some people looked suspicious and the buildings were looking dull, unlike Ranrak. He just walked around the city and explored it for a while.

Nix walked through the city and became surprised because when he entered a particular street many people were roaming but they all looked different from humans. The first one which surprised him was a man with scales and he had a lizard-like tail while he possessed a pair of wings folded and it had a similar texture to that of a dragon.

Then he saw some men and some women with animalistic features like dog ears and had tails and many features resembling animals while having human features too. And he rarely saw some elves too which he easily recognized from their sharp ears but the main thing that surprised him was that they were all chained and had a collar on them which had some number written on it.

'Now this looks like another world. so, these people are slaves?'

He neglected the thought and left the street.

'So, now what should I do? hmm from the information I got from Waltner if I go to a pub I may get into a team and I am hungry too.'

With a heavy appetite, he searched for a pub and after walking, for a few minutes, he found a pub cutting left inside a street it was a crooked lane before entering it he raised his head and saw a Name Board 'Pretty lady's pub- Flirt and drink'.

'What's with that cliche name ' Nix smirked and stepped inside the lane.
