The smell of roasted meat (2)

It was at that moment Noah answered the phone, but since the number wasn't saved in his contacts, he hesitated before answering, and didn't know the caller's identity.

"Hello?" Noah said.

"Noah, it's me…"

"Master?!" Noah said in surprise. "Are you ok?"

"Of course. Who do you think I am?"

"Yeah, sorry Master, but I was really worried. Where are you know?" Noah asked.

"I'm in Caelora city right now, and you can't imagine what happened."

"Did the mercenaries try to capture you?" Noah made a question, but it was clear he knew what could have happened to his creator.

"So, something happened, am I right?" Erik asked.

"Yes Master. The guild issued a huge bounty on your head. They've accused you of killing civilians in the slums."

Of course, that wasn't true, and both Noah and Erik knew it. The only people Erik had ever killed in the slums were Crystal Cross gang members.
