Dawn Of Twilight

"Please everyone, may I have your attention!'

"In order to ensure the safety of this journey, I've specially invited an adventurer."

When Tobi heard the noble saying a new adventurer, his first thought was maybe the caravan had brought out their ace. But upon second thought, he couldn't help the feeling of having this bad premonition about a certain person.

"The new adventurer, she is a high-ranked Valkyrie, and I hope everyone would be able to get along well in this journey!"

The noblewoman looked almost apologetic, with a pleading expression but since she was the person who paid for their services and was also a leader, though there were a few grumbles but it was mild.

Which also included R-B, though knowing how much weight the caravan carried, he could only mumble a little but agree inwardly.

'A new adventurer? And a high-ranked Valkyrie at that. Don't tell me it's… her?" Tobi suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Sorry, everyone that I'm late, and also Sister Black Rose!"

A little tremor ran through the ground as a black bulk that could be seen running through the gate of the city, leaving a trail of dust, and then the voice of a female could be heard from the person sitting on the mount.

"Anomander!"

The noblewoman Black Rose looked toward the familiar voice, as a smile slowly crept upon her face even though she was within the horse carriage, her smile had caused the dwarves, satyr and the rest of the group to be in a daze.

The black bull and its rider quickly arrived at the carriage front and the person on top of it flipped over to get off the black bull, revealing a face that Tobi was exceptionally familiar with.

"Sister Rose!"

Anomander revealed a smile, as she pulled at Black Rose's hands enthusiastically, before looking at the nearby mercenaries.

"Hello, everyone!"

"I'm a Valkyrie, Anomander and I hope we can successfully adventure together...huh…?"

Before she could say anything more, or rather halfway through introducing herself, the Valkyrie abruptly stopped, her wandering eyes almost bulging from what she saw.

"Lis...Listless_Flob. You.....bastard, you lied to me!"

The tender voice of the young girl, coupled with her appearance, made it easy for people to slowly give a wrong misconception on what might had happened between them, as they all turned to look at who she was referring to. The satyr who called himself, Random Black couldn't help discreetly, giving Tobi a thumbs up, while the human archer seemed to be a bit envious.

Tobi lifted his head to look at the Valkyrie, who was obviously referring to him, when he looked around he noticed that everyone else was also starting to stare at him. Tobi could tell what they were thinking, which was clearly written on their faces.

Even, though Tobi wanted to instinctively hide himself away from her, hoping that others wouldn't mistake her words for something else.

At last, he could only sigh inwardly and reply, if not he was sure the Valkyrie might create another scene there.

"It is quite obvious who has a poor sense of direction!"

Tobi shrugged his shoulders, it was quite obvious she was as dumb and blind as a bat who saw a blinding light. So saying anything more, to a person who is both directional challenged and dumb like her, might result in a long exchange of words or worst, create enemies for him with many who might think disgracing him would earn them points with the beautiful Valkyrie.

"Who did you say has a poor sense of direction?"

And as expected, the Valkyrie Anomander immediately flare up like a little kitten who had its tail stepped on.

"Do you know each other? That's great! Come here, Anomander. Tell me about what happened yesterday…" The noblewoman Black Rose immediately came forward, her words caused the Valkyrie to realize she was creating a general audience.

While the noblewoman, had finally taken away the little burden off Tobi's shoulders, he could heave in a sigh of relief, but he had also realized something about the noblewoman. Compared to most noblewomen and ladies, he had met or seen their hands were nothing in comparison to this noblewoman.

Her hands appeared to be rough, and there were even calluses at the side especially since she wore no gloves to cover them. Her hands were much like the hands of a young farm girl, who spent her time working all day long on a farm ranch.

Though her clothes were rather simple, it was far from being abnormal. The edges were only slightly whitened. It was either she was pretending to be a noble or she was, but did not have a good family background, but had employed Tobi and the others in the name of a noble family.

'A noble-born which seem like a commoner? Or does she have a more troublesome identity she is hiding? Did she get the Valkyrie because she seemed to have great strength or status? She's quite interesting…'

Tobi thought to himself, while he watched the Valkyrie enter the carriage, soon afterward the sounds of feminine waves of laughter could be heard once in a while.

He did not discriminate against whatever the nobleman was doing. Especially when one's survival was at stake, a person would do almost anything. However, that was as long as it doesn't affect him.

"Hey, Flob. Look at that behemoth bull, it's even taller than the two of us. I can bet you that this bull has a value of at least over 500 Gold coins!"

Random Black who stood by the bull, was given the role of a keeper which he was quite gloomy about. He was given the duty to temporarily be the caretaker of the Valkyrie Anomander bull on her stead.

Though the sight of a satyr leading a tall bull was rather amusing, however, the satyr himself didn't seem aware of this. Instead, his hands kept ċȧrėssing the black bull as he kept on muttering.

"A pity… What a pity… Look at how she massacre the boy! This color of the coat and the malnourishion would make those beast tamers reduce their prices…"

"Please, she's a lady of a noble family after all and she didn't even bring a butler or maid when she came out. It's already good enough that she didn't starve it to death…"

Tobi said as he chuckled, while also patting R-B on the shoulders, which gained him the satyr nodded approval.

"Mm, you are right," The Satyr kept on nodding.
