485 Gray Spider and Seahorse

...

The brawny Tauren unconsciously tiptoed.

A youthful and naïve voice came from within the iron barrel, creating a stark contrast with its clumsy exterior:

"That, that..."

"I can't fly."

He seemed ill at ease with interpersonal communication, finding even these few words arduous to speak, revealing an embarrassed demeanor.

Matthew and Melinda exchanged glances.

Neither felt any malice from the other and quickly descended to the ground.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!"

As they went down,

the young person inside the iron barrel bowed politely in gratitude.

And it was during this process

that Matthew caught a clear glimpse of two notably small, adorably stubby horns extending from the sides of the helmet on top.

"My name is Konda, the latest disciple taken in by Master Guda."

The young man introduced himself honestly:

"Master Guda sent me to find you two and to guide you to the direction of the Outer World of Earth Core Dream."
