Chapter 85 - You are Orpheus

"oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. We would have been killed by the gigantic blood thirsty maws of the man-eater monster plant if not for you, thank you". Larmore said holding the red haired man's leg.

"Why are you being overly dramatic, we didn't even see the man-eater talk less of seeing it maws, tch ". Seraph said.

"Anyways, thank you for your help, we would have died if not for you ".

"It's no problem, you aren't the first to be saved by me, every outsider always make the same mistake, someone has to save their butts ". The man said.

"Let's go away from here, light as a feather, nimble as monkeys, i summon you here juvenile beastoleptoceras". The man said as three holographic beast in red color appeared from thin air.

"Climb, let's leave ". He said.

Larmore and Seraph listened to him and climbed up the holographic beast. The beasts were all jumping from one tree branch to another with gracefulness.

"So, what are you two doing here anyways, Fiilar is a Fairy district, what business do the wizards have here ". He asked.

"Well, we are in search of someone, we came to Fiilar to have an idea of his whereabouts ". Seraph answered.

"And who might this someone be". He asked.

"His name is Orpheus Tucker, do you have any idea where he might be "? Seraph replied.

The Red haired man kept quiet for some time before speaking again.

"Why are you looking for me... him, he didn't do commit any offence, right"? He said with nervousness in his face.

Seraph and Larmore looked at each other in the face.

"You are also a wizard too, what are you still doing at Fiilar despite the place becoming a Fairy district ". Larmore asked.

"Nothing special, i don't want to have any connections with my dad and Fiilar is the best place for that, with its single dangerous route, it would be hard for even my father to deal with ". The man said.

"Ha, i can't take it anymore, we know it's you Orpheus, stop pretending ". Larmore lashed out.

"Count Larmore! Why"! Seraph said.

"You must be mistaken sir, while I do know of Orpheus, I'm not him, he is probably living a life full of freedom wherever he is ". The man said.

"Tsk, you can feel our energies can you not, the energy very similar to yours. You signed a contract with Valier together with us, there's no need for pretense we can feel it too ". Larmore said.

The red haired man went silent again, but this time the nervousness on his face vanished.

"So you were not sent by my father to kidnap me to his place"? He asked.

"No, we are just gathering us five who signed contract with Baran to form a team to revert the effect of the magic plague". Seraph answered.

The red haired man stopped his track abruptly and headed to another direction which let Larmore and Seraph confused.

"Why aren't you going that way again" Seraph asked.

"You wouldn't want to see what is there, I was leading you two to the man-eater so she can feast on you". He replied.

"Eey, you were going to feed us to the monster you saved us from "? Larmore said as cold sweats were running down his face and Seraph's.

"What, i thought you were one of my father's lackeys who he sent to to pick me up to his place, but since it not that there's no need to go there anymore".

"He has sent a bunch of people after me, they tried to kidnap me and I lead them to their end ". He said.

Both Seraph and Larmore were feeling quite uneasy hearing him.

"How come you don't get eaten, Orpheus". Seraph asked.

"Simple, she recognizes me, i give her flesh and i have my freedom, it a win-win".

"You are one mischievous fellow Orpheus". Said Seraph.

The man smirked.

"So you are admitting that you are Orpheus now huh". Larmore said sneering at him.

*Sigh*, "yes I'm Orpheus, you happy now". He said.

Shortly after, they all got down from the tree branches and the holographic beasts soon dissipated.

The place was filled with trees and tiny houses were mounted on them with little tiny beings flying all around.

"Welcome to Fiilar, the land of the fairies and my hometown". Orpheus said.
