Chapter 1129: This is difficult
Leaving Haley with the others to explore the Harakka Tribe since this was their first time here, I went off to see Olos with Olmir and Alidus.
He was waiting for us in the center of the Harakka Tribe, just like before.
This was the same place where we had discussed the matter of the giant market and the Great Wolves.
Back then, matters had been simple.
But now...
"What is it that was so important that you had to meet with me?" Olos asked as soon as we came in.
It seemed that he was impatient to hear what we had brought to him.
Or rather, it seemed that he recognized that whatever this was was important enough that even his son was acting this way. It was his son, so naturally Olos knew what kind of personality Alidus had.
So for him to be making a big deal of this...
Whatever this was certainly wasn't anything small.
"It's serious, very serious." Alidus said in a heavy tone.
Olmir and Olos both had traces of a bitter smile on their faces when they heard this.
"Could you not speak so mysteriously and just tell us what it was already?" That was what they wanted to say, but they held themselves back as they had to consider their position as Alidus' elder.
Alidus didn't continue saying anything else after that and instead turned to look at me, as if he was letting me speak now.
Olos and Olmir also turned to look at me when they saw Alidus looking at me like this.
Unlike Alidus who seemed to have a firm look on his face, the two of them had one brow raised as if they were curious about what was happening.
The only thing that we could do was wait to see how they would react.
After looking at each other for a bit, Olos and Olmir turned back for Olos to say, "It is indeed a bit hard to believe all of this, but since even my son seems to agree with this, it must be true. It seems that you've seen quite a bit on your journey."
Alidus gave a simple nod that was also filled with emotion.
Olos and Olmir both gave sighs all of a sudden before Olos said, "We've always known that the demon race wouldn't remain still, but to think that they would even start doing these kinds of strange things. It's clear that their ambition will no longer be held back."
"That was how it was back then and it's how it is now. We already knew that the demons were like this."
It seemed that the two of them were quite lost in their memories as they said this.
But once they came back from those memories, Olos said in a serious voice, "We'll have to report this to the elders."
Olmir nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them suddenly turned to look at me.
I was caught off guard since I didn't think that they would suddenly look at me like this, but what really caught me off guard was the way that they looked at me.
It was as if there was something difficult for them to say.
Eventually, Olos was the one that said, "I know what you were thinking coming to warn us about this, but I can't bring you to see the elders."
I was even more taken aback when I heard this since I didn't expect him to directly say this.
Olmir said, "It's not that it's impossible to do, it's just that it'll be very difficult. The elders have isolated themselves from the world and it's even hard for us to see them. So there's no need to mention a human outsider like you."
I slowly nodded to show that I understood, but...
Seeing the look on my face, Olos said with a sigh, "Give us some time, we'll think of a way. You came all this way to warn us, so that's the least that we can do for you."
Once again, I nodded to show that I understood.
