'Thirty bars... I came all this way and spent fifteen million without even finding the truth...'
"Young man."
As Lin Hui stood at the tunnel entrance, about to leave the gourmet district, a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz suddenly entered his ears.
"Over here, young man." The voice seemed to come from down to his right.
Lin Hui followed the sound with his gaze.
He saw a sparrow person, only as tall as his calf, wearing a hat and looking up at him.
The sparrow person was plump and round, with grayish-brown feathers. Its two eyes were shiny black like peas, its beak and talons a dark yellow. It also carried a cloth satchel slung across its body.
"My apologies, young man. I didn't recognize you at first. Dragon Maiden said you were coming, and I was looking everywhere, but I couldn't find you. Turns out... you're a whole size bigger than in your portrait..." The sparrow person wiped its greasy beak with an apologetic look.
