Chapter 1880 Making Decisions
Mrs. Kella desperately wished she could drag Sodo back and give him a good beating.
She replied, "An outsider is allowed to participate in the tournament. There is no prohibition."
Elisa and Gareth exchanged glances.
That was all it took for them to understand each other.
Since the warriors' tournament was such an important event to the villagers and its chief, they could use this chance to request the compass.
"But…" Mrs. Kella appeared worried. "The purpose of the tournament is to find the bravest man. This means the participants will face untold dangers, which will be worse for outsiders. Others will single you out for attack, especially Anna. Although she can't participate in the tournament, she has three elder brothers."
Elisa and Gareth finally understood why Mrs. Kella was so concerned.
Outsiders were allowed to join the tournament but would be discriminated against without protection.
Furthermore, they were also at risk of being the target of malice, especially from the village chief's daughter, Anna. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Who knew she had three elder brothers?
She has been dotted on since she was young. No wonder that she behaves like a tyrant.
Elisa asked, "Danger? How dangerous is it? Did anyone die?"
Mrs. Kella nodded solemnly. "It's normal for people to die at the warriors' tournament. Several numbers of men died each time."
Elisa's expression turned grim after she heard that.
She did not expect the so-called warriors' tournament to be so dangerous.
She glanced at Gareth from the corner of an eye and saw he was calm and unconcerned.
Since Elisa and Gareth remained silent, Mrs. Kella thought they were still worried about Sodo's words. Thus, she explained urgently, "Don't worry about what Sodo said. He's too cowardly to risk his life joining the tournament. Even if he did, he could never win."
Mrs. Kella thought Gareth was interested in the warrior's tournament due to Sodo's threat. Therefore, she thought he had changed his mind after hearing her explanation.
Unbeknownst to her, it wasn't due to Sodo's threat that Gareth wanted to join the tournament.
He had a vital reason that he could not tell Mrs. Kella.
Even though Mrs. Kella was kind, she was still from this village.
She would never agree to their plan to take the village's treasure.
Therefore, he could not reveal his purpose before the warriors' tournament.
Elisa and Gareth exchanged glances and saw determination in each other's eyes.
The two did not ask any more questions to avoid arousing suspicion.
It appeared as if they had given up on joining the tournament.
Seeing that, Mrs. Kella breathed a sigh of relief.
Before leaving the room, she reminded them, "Don't join the tournament. Please remember what I said! It's too dangerous!"
Elisa nodded and smiled, indicating that she would stop Gareth from joining.
Her smile calmed Mrs. Kella, and she left with peace of mind.
Then, Elisa and Gareth were the only ones in the room.
Silence hung between them. After a while, Elisa decided to clear the awkward atmosphere.
"What do you think? Are you joining the tournament?"
Gareth nodded without hesitation.
His eyes shone with determination as he looked ahead. "I must go. This is the only way for us to get
home. I must try no matter how difficult it is."
Then, he glanced at Elisa and noticed she seemed unhappy.
Thus, he smiled and teased her. "Are you worried about me?"
Elisa glared at him and replied angrily, "Yes, I'm worried about you. You're the only person I can rely on in this place. If you die, I won't be able to get back either."
Gareth smiled upon hearing her. Emotions burned within his chest.
After a while, he smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll never abandon you."
