Chapter 180: Mountain Defense
As the Twin Soul moved deeper into the fog around the base of Thunder Mountain, Sage suddenly felt a deep sense of unease. Something was wrong. Hed had these sorts of feelings when his life was at risk in the past. Now, just like then, they came too suddenly to allow any room for thought. It was purely instinct, one that said escape now or it would be too late. Those whod never felt such a thing would have trouble recognizing it and freeze up, usually leading to an unfavorable outcome. On the other hand, those who have faced enough dangerous situations would react instantly. All those gut feelings, premonitions, or other sorts of reactions were said to be the subconscious mind processing information without the conscious mind taking notice.
Sage wanted to flee immediately. He started to stand, when he realized the feeling of danger wasnt originating from his body. It came from the link with his Twin Soul. The Twin Soul was trapped in a dense cloud of fog and had lost all sense of direction. Sage tried to direct it to run, but he seemed to have lost all control. Suddenly, even his physical body was out of his control. Even the link with his merged insect was interrupted.
How is this possible? What happened? Why
Why?Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Why am I here?
Isnt this just an errand set by the Zhu Clan, hiring someone to perform a job? I expended so much effort just to take a look at what Thunder Mountain Bridge is? Isnt this just a waste of my time?
Why do I live the way I do?
He thought it over a while, trying to recall what had happened. Thankfully, he still had the link to his Charming Lance Beetle and now that the Twin Soul was severed, he could once again control the beetle just fine. After some time he made a determination.
It was always asking why. Could it be screening entrants for their motives? Ferret out spies by getting to the truth of things? Why thats the sort of thing that inquisitive children say. Maybe its not a defense at all. It could be some sort of fledgling intelligence or spirit that is on the verge of forming?
Hah, as if I could solve such a mystery with so little evidence.
Sage actually spoke out loud, talking to himself to clear his mind of the quagmire hed found himself in. Still standing from when he had been startled upon entering the fog with his Twin Soul, Sage realised he had no idea how long hed been standing and even with his enhanced body he felt tired. Taking a deep breath he sat back down again and sunk into a meditative state. As much as he wanted to head out, he wouldnt neglect his every weapon. He sent his consciousness inward and started the unique technique to form another Avatar of Excess, the name of the ancestral technique hed gained from the Twin Ringed Soul Serpent. A few minutes later, his soul split in half and another Twin Soul was created.
Seems I need to go hunting instead of just sitting around and watching the fun inside the Thunder Mountain Bridge.
Since Sage didnt actually know anybody in town, he merely walked down the streets of Plum Lantern City and picked out the rowdiest looking tavern. Heading inside and sweeping his eyes over the crowd of drinkers. Some were yelling, others were singing, some were talking, but everyone was drinking. He knew hed come to the right place. He slapped a gold coin onto the table and yelled out, Wine, please!
Seeing his rowdy gesture, the others at the table started laughing. They too were waiting for drinks and they copied his move, slapping down coins and calling out in the same vulgar way. Of course, they only put down stacks of copper coins or a single silver coin, the actual prices of the common drinks they wished for. Sage, compared to common folk, was quite rich so he chose to tip extravagantly in order to save time and make up for acting so rudely. He was only on the first floor, where all the common folk drank, so he was received quite well.
Dozens of other patrons all found his act funny and did the same thing, turning the place into a cacophony of yelling and table slapping. Finding this all amusing, Sage added to the fun and he tossed a bag of gold onto the plate of the nearest server, A round for everyone on me!
