Chapter 853 Imposter

When Lith felt scared, then this meant something indeed was really scary.novelb1n

Turning around to see from where the feeling stemmed, Lith merely saw a few normal people walking on the busy streets of the village's market.

The council's complex could only be reached via the busy village market and as there were so many people here, Lith found it difficult to pinpoint properly.

The feeling had only lasted for a few instances and was gone. Whatever it was that lurked here was great trouble.

Despite the initial panic and scare, Lith stayed calm and looked around, trying to find this person.

People in various different attires roamed the streets of Dushkarbor and there was much more diversity than usual due to the tournaments.

Lith had a hard time finding the one and kept searching for a few minutes.

The feeling of death from his earring was getting stronger and time was of essence. One mistake could cost him dearly.

Shoving around multiple people and searching for the source of the ominous feeling, Lith suddenly found something odd.

There was a kid in the middle of the busy street, not even the height of Lith's knee, looking around cluelessly.

Now, usually such a thing would be ignored by Lith as this may as well be a normal lost child or something, but after his training with his aunt, he had learnt to not ignore such minute details.

Lith's already observational skills had been greatly enhanced and through prior experiences and training, he could tell that this kid was an odd one out here in this place.

Walking up to the green-haired kid with a chubby face, Lith squatted down to reach his eye level and asked with a gentle smile, "Hello~, are you lost? Did you lose your mumma's hand?"

The boy, having someone speak so gently and having a look at Lith, was instantly mesmerized.

Lith's gentle face was a sight to behold and it didn't matter if it was a young male child or female. He didn't have a brutish appearance like everyone else here and was almost an identical copy of his mother.

As far as Lith knew, his mother was the best mother in the whole damn universe and nobody could ever hold a candle to her. She was in a league of her own.

Even the royalties only just had some expensive fruits and premium milk, but other than that, nothing out of the blue or extraordinary.

Food was the one thing that was scarcely diverse in this place and this kid just mentioned candy, which was nigh impossible to understand by any nativ.

The kid was probably thinking that he covered things up properly, but too bad for him that Lith was from a world where candies were everywhere.

Having found the imposter, Lith maintained his worried look and holding the kid's hand gently and rubbing them, said, "Don't worry, sweet child, we'll find your mumma soon. Come, let's find her together."

With that, a kid was successfully scammed into walking together with Lith.

There were no girls around Lith for now as he had distanced himself quite a bit in the last few minutes.

Lith pretended to search for the boy's mother even though he very well knew that someone like that didn't exist.

The search went on for a few minutes and all this while, Lith was holding the kid's hand.

He had been constantly talking to the kid while roaming around to indulge him in pointless blabber. It was to distract him and make way for teleportation.

Finally, as Lith felt it was enough fooling around, he turned to look at the kid and said with a gentle smile, "Don't be afraid, child. I'm sure your mumma is—"

Lith's words were cut off as he and the kid immediately vanished from their spots.

The kid let out a surprised yelp before vanishing while Lith was calm as everything was going just about right.

If this imposter was a strong person, then he would be taken far away from Dushkarbor and not be a hindrance in their war.

Lith could also have a better chance at fleeing if this dude was supposedly realms above him.

All in all, it was a cautious step that Lith took for his as well as others' safety while tending to the urgent call from Ariel.

Where the teleportation would take him, Lith didn't know and simply waited for the completely bright vision in front of his eyes to change.
