Chapter 45: Another Ambush In The Vanhan Plains

Lawrend looked behind them in silence. He was thinking about how his life had turned out. At first, he thought that this would be an exciting journey with Aleshia, but it quickly turned for the worse when she made him sign a blood contract.

Lawrend sighed at how naive he was. At last, finally, Aleshia trusted him and removed the blood contract that inhibited their trust in each other.

"I wonder what that other me meant…"

Lawrend looked up into the sky and remembered what just happened last night. Another Lawrend spoke to him about a sort of promise.

'Was that other me, me from my previous life and those memories from that life?'

Lawrend gripped his fists tighter in anxiousness. The him today felt very different. He didn't feel exactly anything when he killed that assassin. He should have as it was his first time killing someone.

'Forget it. I should focus on my current self. If I dwell more on my past, I fear that it would consume me.'

Lawrend stood up and sighed. He looked at the broken roof and upper left side of the carriage. The hot rays of the sun were leaking out from it.

"Aleshia, is there any place where we can buy another carriage?"

Lawrend shouted out towards her.

"That would be in the Sheron Port City, Young Master. We can only have it repaired for the time being at the next village."

Aleshia replied to Lawrend. She didn't look back but kept her eyes on the road.

"I understand."

Lawrend nodded his head and sat down on the carriage floor. He crossed his legs and closed his eyes. He looked inside his body and realized that his lightning mana was basically empty. It was odd that he was still able to stay awake and didn't pass out at all.

'It must be the effects of the new purified lightning mana.'

Lawrend thought to himself. There's no other explanation besides that. If ever, that could be the only plausible explanation that he could think of.

Lawrend opened his eyes and stood up before resting on the carriage seat. He laid down and closed his eyes. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

It was around lunchtime when Lawrend opened his eyes. Aleshia had already stopped the carriage and was cooking just right outside. The smell of the cooking bird meat tickled Lawrend's nose.

After chatting with Aleshia for a little bit, and quickly devouring the food, Lawrend and Aleshia were already back on the road.

Just as Lawrend was relaxing inside the carriage, it halted all of a sudden.

"What happened?"

Lawrend pulled back the curtain to the front of the carriage and looked ahead. Shock covered Lawrend's face as he looked at a dozen men without any shirts blocking their carriage. They were all carrying sharp short swords in their hands. Lawrend didn't need to be a genius to know that this was a bandit group ambushing them.

"What do you guys want?"

Aleshia looked at the bandits coldly. She already had her hands clutching on her leg where her dagger was.

"Hehehe, quite straightforward, huh. Why don't you ask your Young Master? I'm sure he would be able to answer your questions."

A bandit with a big scar on his left chest chuckled and replied to her. He was the leader of this bandit group.

"Young Master?"

Aleshia immediately turned her head around towards Lawrend. Doubt was on her face.

"I don't know them, Aleshia. Don't let them trick you."

Lawrend had a grave expression on his face as he replied to her. The bandit leader was trying to sow discord with the two of them.

When the bandit leader heard Lawrend's words, he laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha! I meant, you should have said, 'Take the goods and her, please spare my life!'. Hahahaha! Just like the 'Young Master' from yesterday did."

The bandit leader taunted Lawrend with a smug grin on his face.

"YOU!"

Aleshia gritted her teeth in anger. She almost turned her back at Lawrend once again just from the careless words of this bandit leader. She knew that it would be something that she would regret if she did it again after everything that happened between them.

"Young Lady, you must have a lot of pent-up lust, right? We brothers here could jack you up as much as you like."

There was a licentious grin on the bandit leader's face as he scanned Aleshia's body.

"..."

Instead of responding in anger, Aleshia looked at the bandit leader with the eye of an eagle. It was as if she was an eagle about to swoop down on her prey.

"I shouldn't waste my time even fighting scum like you."

Aleshia sighed and pulled out an orb of glass filled with poisonous gas. It was another one of what he used on the goblins yesterday.

With a swing of her arm, the orb of poison broke in front of the bandit leader's foot and exploded poisonous gas into the surroundings that extended for at least tens of meters.

"What the-! Poison attack! Cover your nose!"

The bandit leader ordered the other bandits around him. And by covering their noses and mouths firmly, the bandits were able to avoid being affected by the poison gas.

"Tch! What a sly bastard."

Aleshia clicked her tongue in anger and swallowed the antidote pill into her mouth.

"Young Master, take this just in case the poison gas blows into your direction."

Aleshia passed another pill onto Lawrend's hand before she jumped down from the carriage. She already had her signature black dagger in her hand.

"Time to workout."

Aleshia snickered before dashing towards the bandit leader's direction.

The bandit leader widened his eyes in alarm. He couldn't breathe too much of the poison gas in, or he would be affected by it. It was a conundrum as he needed to breathe if he fought with her as fighting uses up the air in his lungs.

He gritted his teeth and forced himself not to breathe anything before taking a defensive stance. He had a short sword, and she only had a dagger. Just in terms of weapon length, the longer one is usually the winner.

With a quick motion, Aleshia slashed her dagger onto the bandit leader's face.
