Chapter: 586

He felt like each of his footsteps were way too loud as he walked down the wooden hallway past the guard.

Finally he reached his room and after he closed the door he couldn’t stop himself from breathing more quickly and feeling dizzy. He almost felt like his face was red, but there was no way to tell; he was having a mild panic attack.

He leant against the door for a moment as he got his breathing under control.

“I need to leave Losla.” he whispered to himself.

“But first, I need to calm down and think.” he thought as he sat on his bed and began to try and control his breathing.

As he calmed himself down, he noticed an envelope on the bedside table.

“Huh, it’s from Sullivan?”

Without waiting a second longer he tore the envelope open and began to read.

[Jay. The guild isn’t safe for you, and it never was.]

“Yeah, no shit.” Jay murmured as he kept reading with a frown.

[I know somewhere that you will be safe, and this is where I am sending you and Anya.]

[You will soon be contacted by someone named Lannister. Trust them to take you to this safe place and do everything they say until you get there.]

[I may or may not see you again, so please take care of Anya. I have risked my life to protect you, so protect her in exchange.]

[With that being said, I have left you with one last gift under the bed. I hope it serves you well.]

Jay checked under the bed and found a large folded up dark-brown leather blanket.

“Huh, a blanket? …Is he implying something?” Jay was confused for a moment.

He analysed it.

<[Noon-leather Blanket]>

[Blocks mana flow]

“Hm.. blocks mana flow? Interesting.” Jay gazed at it carefully.

The blanket was leathery on one side and soft on the other, so he was glad he had a water-proof warm blanket.

Jay was tempted to test its mana-blocking abilities, but he wasn’t sure if mage hunters could detect his necrotic mana, and didn’t know what capabilities the mage hunters had, so he decided not to; this was his first time learning about noon-leather and coming across the mage hunters after all – both of these would rarely ever come to such a small and irrelevant town.

After storing the blanket in his inventory he had calmed down and read the rest of the letter, though there wasn’t much more other than a ‘goodbye’, and a ‘please destroy this letter after reading it’.

Still, Jay stashed the letter away.

“Perhaps it will come in handy someday, or perhaps it will help to light a fire, who knows.” he shrugged.
