BXBX NOVEL 126 Chapter 126
Without another word, Theo wrapped his hands around the young Leticia\'s waist, surprising her, since she still seemed a little off balance. With the way she was right now, it would be difficult for her to run or even walk.
Despite her embarrassment from being in the arms of a man she just met, she didn\'t think to put up any resistance. For some reason, Leticia felt like she could trust this young man without having to worry about him meaning them any harm.
Theo quickly started running towards the Weapon Shop with her in his arms. He ran fast, but not too wildly since the little girl he was carrying was only in the 4th Layer of the Apprentice Kingdom.
Upon seeing this scene, the crowd of Demi-Humans, Humans and Magical Animals began to move again. Yet, they couldn\'t help but be surprised by everything that had happened.
As Theo ran through the streets carrying the two sisters, he was thinking through his plans. However, the ground suddenly shook, surprising everyone.
Theo frowned and used his Divine Sense to try to find out what was going on. "That… who are these beings?" The moment Theo used his Divine Sense, he noticed several beings entering Ravena City.
They were in majestic carriages. They were very detailed and had dinosaur-like beasts pulling them. These creatures were very ferocious beasts, so Theo was pretty surprised to see this since he did not expect to see these kinds of animals being domesticated.
But this display confused him since he knew that there were far better ways of moving around than in a wagon, so why are they using them? "Is this to demonstrate their power by taming these creatures to pull their carts?" Theo wondered with doubt.
At this point, Theo realized that although these beings were arriving in Ravena Town together, they had others walking with the carriages. They were probably bodyguards, since they all wore very similar clothes, but each cart had a different outfit to the next one. Another interesting point was that because he saw them through his Divine Sense, he could dimly see that these beings were of different species from each other.
But Theo soon didn\'t have time to think about it that much, because even though he\'s curious as to why these beings are arriving in Ravena City, he just needed to keep running toward the Weapon Shop.
It wasn\'t long before Theo, Leticia and her little sister arrived at the store. Lowering them to the floor, Theo took them by their hands into the building.
"Theo?! What is going on? What was that all about?" The girls from the Orphanage inside the store asked when they saw Theo arrive with two girls.
Theo sighed heavily and said, "Let\'s all calm down. We should go back to the Orphanage and talk there."
Seeing that there were still three Demi-Humans in the shop, Theo told them, "We\'ll be closing the shop now, but if you choose a weapon within the next 10 minutes, you can buy it at 15% off."
"Wow, seriously?!" they exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah, but like I said, you only have 10 minutes to decide." Theo smiled.
Theo soon noticed a young man of about 14 to 15 years old. Theo had seen this young man before in the store. Almost every day in the late afternoon, this young man would come to stare at a silver pistol with the golden grip.
Theo approached and asked him, "Do you have enough money to buy it now? Getting 15% off should make it easy for you, right?"
"Umm… I still don\'t have enough… I\'m doing my best to hunt and make money, but I only managed to collect 1400 gold coins…" The Young said sadly.
Theo had already realized that this young man did not come from any powerful family, and yet he managed to reach the 7th Layer of the Student Kingdom. Theo could only imagine how hard he must have struggled to collect this sum of gold coins.
Theo smiled at this young man and said, "What\'s your name? My name is Theo, the owner of this store."
He replied, "My name is Elijah, nice to meet you!"
Elijah was a young man with messy, short brown hair, and a very well developed physical build with plenty of muscle despite his young age.
"Alright, Elijah, since you came to the store every day and are very interested in this weapon, I\'ll discount you and let you buy it for that amount, what do you think?" Theo said.
"Really?! Of course, I am more than willing to buy it for that! Actually, it was like love at first sight! When I saw this gun, I felt like it should be mine…" Elijah said a little embarrassed, but at the same time, he was ecstatic, since it had been five days since he had first seen this weapon. He was even starting to see it in his dreams.
Soon after, some weapons were sold to those still in the store. Nanda then placed the sign in front of the store saying it was now closed.
Theo also realized that the little Demi-Human Cat he had saved before was constantly looking at him with curiosity, although a mild look of fascination could also be seen. Approaching her, Theo gently petted his hand over her head. Smiling, he asked, "How are you doing? Is it better now?"
"Yes, all thanks to you and the young ladies here." She replied, bowing toward Theo, "Thank you so much for everything!"
"Of course. I\'m so glad I could save you!" Theo smiled and said, "Ah, right. My name is Theo, what\'s your name?"
"My name is Number 141." She answered.
"What the…" Theo took a deep breath since he was suddenly releasing a massive wave of killing intent all throughout the store. It was causing all the girls to feel intensely nauseous. Calming down, he balled his hands tightly, digging his nails into his palm.
The girls from the Orphanage also had a sad look upon hearing this, but they weren\'t as surprised as Theo since they had already asked the girl her name. They were also furious about it.
"Well… we\'re going to the Orphanage where we live, you can live there too, what do you think?" Theo asked her.
"I will listen to you," she answered blankly.
Theo sighed and said, "I\'m not ordering you to do this, from now on, we won\'t let anyone mistreat you!"
Aine also approached the little girl and hugged her. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Yes, we\'ll be your family now, there\'s no need to worry anymore or do things you don\'t want to!"
The other girls from the Orphanage were also distressed because they wondered that if her name is 141, there must be at least 140 other children in the same state as this little girl…
Despite being a little confused, the little Demi-Human sheep, who was with her older sister Leticia, could imagine that something terrible had happened to young Demi-Human cat for everyone to have these expressions of anger and crying. Even Leticia was softly crying.
After everyone was able to calm down, they started to leave the store but were soon surprised, as the whole City was suddenly much busier than usual. They were also able to see the apparently mighty beings enter the City in their majestic carriages.
And on top of each carriage, there was a banner with strange designs, possibly being the Sect\'s logo denoting where they came from.
"Look! That\'s the banner of the Fallen Moon Sect!" Someone exclaimed in surprise, "Are they from a branch of it?"
"I… I know that flag too! It\'s from the Sect only of women who use Water and Ice, it\'s the Snow Lake Sect!" A Demi-Human shouted out.
