Chapter 43 - Sold

After returning to the city, Zack took his time on a nice warm bath and relaxed as much as possible. Only then did he call the guild masters and tell them that a new territory was up for sale and that he was going to give priority to the guild that offered a good price and a relic capable of healing the user or granting him a similar skill or effect. The time limit once again was one day.

"Saying this kind of thing to them will be the same as telling them that I still need to be healed and that I am not s monster that can't be hurt," Zack thought. "This could be a problem, but it is probably for the best if I have the chance to sneak out the troublemakers as soon as possible."

Mystery can be a powerful force, often evoking fear and suspicion among people. When something is shrouded in mystery, it becomes an unknown, a source of uncertainty that can breed distrust and anxiety.
