Chapter 27: Reaching Sunset City

As they got closer and closer to Sunset City, the originally silent Durkelon became more talkative and confident.

After all, he had come to a place he was familiar with. This place was not far from his family.

“Venerable Lorne, please be a guest at my house when you arrive at Sunset City. I’ll treat you well.”

On the way to Sunset City, Durkelon bowed confidently to Lorne.

This time, he was not as humble as before. His eyes were filled with confidence.

Although his tone was humble, his eyes were filled with pride.

It was as if he was talking about something amazing.

Before Lorne could reply, Irvine spoke first. “No need. I’ll take Brother Lorne to walk around the Sunset City.”

“Also, your family lives in the suburbs of Sunset City. It’s not convenient to walk. It’s better to let Brother Lorne live with me in Sunset City.”

Irvine said and glared at Durkol with her beautiful eyes, making him embarrassed.

Durkelon could only blush and remain silent. After all, he was quite introverted.

He just felt that a country bumpkin like Lorne would not know what this city was.

It was obvious that he was from the countryside. He just had some magical talent.

After all, he didn’t have anything valuable on him. Having figured this out, Durkelon said,

“In that case, I’ll go with you. Irvine, if you like anything, I can help you pay.”

Hearing him say that, Irvine began to get angry. ‘What’s wrong with Durkelon?’

This guy was picking on me, wasn’t he? Didn’t he understand that she wanted to date Brother Lorne?

“No thanks. Who wants to spend your money?” Irvine said, rolling her eyes.

She really wanted to kick Durkelon out of here right now and avoid this man always wanting to be her third wheel.

“Brother Lorne, let’s go!”

To prevent Durkelon from catching up with her, Irvine said this and pulled him along as if they were in the city.

This left Durkelon at a loss on what to do. Blumer naturally didn’t care about these things.

He shouted at Irvine and informed her. Then, he went to the Adventurer’s Guild to submit his mission.

Only the bleeding Durkelon remained where he was, not knowing what to do.

“No, I can’t let Lorne snatch Irvine away just like that. I’m going to chase her back!”

With that thought in mind, he chased after her and wanted to pull Lorne towards Sunset City.

She thought that Durkelon would go back after being scolded by her but she did not expect that not long after he would be chasing them.

Then she heard Dulcor’s voice again.

“Irvine, wait for me! I’ll go with you!”

Hearing his shout, Irvine wanted to pull Lorne away from him.

Lorne naturally wouldn’t dodge. He gently said to Irvine,

“Irvine, I know you want to ask him for help but you can’t do this. Watch how I treat him!”

At Lorne’s words, Irvine looked at him curiously. She wanted only Lorne to be prepared to use the divine method.

Let Durkelon, the annoying fellow, give up his hold on them.

After all, Lorne was so smart and Durkelon was so stupid and he didn’t have any sense.

She had already told him to leave just now but he actually caught up with her. How annoying!

Seeing Lorne and Irvine stop moving, Durkelon thought Irvine had figured it out.

Only by bringing them along to walk around the Sunset City would he be able to show off his skills. It was unknown how confident he was.

As soon as he reached the two of them, he pulled Irvine’s hand away from Lorne’s.

But Swordswoman Irvine was stronger than Durkelon. He wanted to separate them.

But no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull them apart.

“What are you doing?” Irvine scolded as she looked at the two of them.

“Um, I—”

Lorne also felt that the two of them were being serious and he used the wind element magic to separate them.

After a short while, he pushed Durkelon away and the battle of strength between the two of them ended.

However, Lorne only felt that his hand was extremely painful. At this moment, Irvine also noticed this scene.

Lorne was a mage after all, so he naturally could not withstand the battle between two swordmasters.

She immediately picked up Lorne’s hand and blew on it.

“Hu, hu, hu, I’m sorry, Brother Lorne. I accidentally hurt you.”

Irvine blew out an apology. She was sorry for her reckless behavior.

But it was all because Durkelon had come to separate them. It was all his fault.

At the thought of this, Irvine hated Durkelon even more.

If it wasn’t for him, Lorne wouldn’t have been injured. It was such a small injury.

He could only blame himself for being careless and not realizing this.

Otherwise, this scene wouldn’t have happened. Thinking of this, he began to blame himself.

Durkelon ran over and glared at Lorne. “What’s going on? Why are you pushing me? And let go of her hand!”

“Who are you? Who are you talking to? Why should I let go just because you said so?”

Irvine, who had no intention of paying attention to Durkelon, heard him reprimand Lorne.

For a moment, the flames that had been angered by him erupted and she spat at Durkelon.

Hearing Irvine’s words, Durkelon was stunned. What was going on?

Irvine had stopped to wait for him. Why was she saying this now?

At this moment, Durkelon had no idea what his mistake was.

“Brother Lorne, let’s go. Why should we bother with him?”

Irvine said with distaste but she still used a coquettish tone.

If an ordinary boy heard this, he might not be able to handle it. For a promising young man like Lorne who had lived two lifetimes.

He naturally did not care about such things. After all, he was very old.

“I thought you were going to treat us to some shopping, Durkelon? Let’s go together, shall we?”

Lorne smiled.

Upon hearing his words, Durkelon thought that his Kerr family name had frightened him.

He raised his head, puffed up his chest and said to Lorne, “Now you know how important I am!”

In the face of Durkelon’s words, Lorne smiled and said,

“Alright, you can go ahead. After all, we still need your protection.”

With that said, Lorne made a gesture for Durkelon to enter.

It was as if a spoon had been bent. He was originally very tough and sharp.

Right now, he was bowing and bending his knees. If he didn’t do this, he wouldn’t be able to live.

Durkelon began to laugh as well. It seemed that this mage had a good eye.

“Then follow me!”

With that, Durkelon led Lorne and Irvine toward the restaurant.

After all, they had traveled for such a long time. It was time for them to have a good rest..
