Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 148

Kyle looked nervously at the two of them.

"They are Knights. Actual Knights," Theodor said. "You better hope they don't want to kill you."

"Friend, can we help you in any other way?" one of them asked with a fake smile.

Kyle took a step back.

"No, it's fine," he said. "Thank you for saving me. If there is any way in which I can repay you, tell me."

"No, no, it's fine," the first Knight said. "We'll escort you to the Fire Coast. Just follow us."

"I can find my own way. Thank you very much," Kyle said.

"That's too dangerous," the other Knight said with a frown. "You need some escorts."

Kyle looked at them. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

Then, he started running towards the Fire Coast.

The two Knights looked at each other before they easily overtook Kyle, running towards the Fire Coast in front of him.

"I'm fine! You can go!" Kyle shouted.

"Don't worry!" one of the Knights shouted. "We are going to keep you safe. Leave everything to us!"

Kyle noticed that the other Knight chuckled deviously after the first one said that.

"I see," Theodor commented.

"What do you see?" Kyle whispered.

"What?" one of the Knights asked.

"Nothing!" Kyle shouted.

'Fuck, how did that guy hear me?! I was whispering!'

"It's a policy," Theodor answered. "They don't want to kill you. In fact, they want to help you."

Kyle seemed suspicious.

They did not act like they were trying to help him.

Their entire demeanor was… off.

"The Fighter you met most likely has opted to take a family-and-friend protection policy," Theodor explained.

"His friends and family can ask anyone in the royal army for help in exchange for payment."

"Of course, that payment doesn't come from you but from the policyholder."

"You can use them to travel to the Big Bazaar."

Yet, when Kyle heard that, he didn't feel relieved.

Instead, he felt guilt and pressure.

Mandrake, the guy who had taught him Air Current, was currently paying for two Knights to save and escort him.

While running, Kyle put his arm over his mouth like he was coughing.

"I don't want to cause Mandrake trouble," he whispered into his arm.

The two Knights glanced at Kyle's weird way of running, but they didn't mind.

Easy money!

"Who cares?" Theodor asked with annoyance. "You barely know him anyway. Just use him and be done with him."

"I refuse," Kyle said into his arm. "I want to pay for the trouble I've caused. I already told you I repay my debts!"

Theodor remembered the conversation he had with Kyle in the past.

He thought this kind of ideology was stupid and naïve.

However, he also remembered that Kyle having his ideology was actually a good thing for Theodor.

After all, Kyle had promised that he would end Hieronymus' lineage.

"Fine," Theodor said. "Just tell them what I tell you to tell them."

Kyle nodded as he kept running.

After a couple of minutes, the ground started to change.

It transformed from brown wasteland ground into black and hard ground.

By now, Kyle could also see a giant volcano in front of him.

The Fire Coast!
