"Aww, man! And here I thought that we were hitting off quite well!" I sighed.
"You asked me questions. I answered. There's nothing more than that." Liling replied.
"Then why don't you give a reply to my other question as well, huh? It wouldn't take half the time that our entire chat took." I sounded desperate at this point.
"Ha… Freaking hell! Fine. Will you leave after hearing that?" She asked.
Finally! All the persuasion worked! I'm simply happy about my efforts.
"Okay, cool. I'll leave upon hearing it." I assured.
"Good. Listen, you know how the Noncho village is attacked by bandits, right?" Liling asked.
"Yea."
"They are not really the major reason for people migrating from this place. They played a factor, of course. However, the major reason was always this book." She replied.
"What the? Why did a skill book cause people to leave?" I was genuinely curious about this.
