Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 163

Kyle didn't know how to answer.

"That's too much," he said, holding the fish out for Selene. "You already escorted me to the Big Bazaar. Without you, I would need months since I don't know the safe paths."

Selene just smiled. "Kyle, without you, I wouldn't have found a fitting Colossus. I had no idea it was so hard to find a Peak Beast. If I had asked anyone else to accompany me, they would have probably led me to a far stronger Colossus, and that would have killed both of us."

"I underestimated the danger, but thanks to you, we still succeeded."

"Just accept the gift. I insist," Selene said.

Kyle just awkwardly looked forward.

"But this fish was like 25 Ether Pebbles. That's expensive."

Selene laughed. "Kyle, being a Beast Tamer is expensive. You know my background. Do you truly believe 25 Ether Pebbles is a lot for me?"

Kyle just looked at Selene with an uncomfortable expression.

"She's right," Theodor commented. "The wealth of the Forthing family is measured in Ether Crystals."

Ether Crystals.

One Ether Crystal was a million Ether Pebbles.

Kyle looked at the ground and sighed.

"Thank you, Selene. I won't forget this," he said.

"It's fine," Selene answered. "Let's continue."

"By the way, please don't consume the fish yet. Not everyone likes dwarves or half-dwarves."

Kyle just nodded.

The two of them continued walking through the Big Bazaar for a while.

Eventually, they reached the other end, and Selene told the guard there that they were leaving.

At the end of the day, the two entrances to the Big Bazaar would compare their list, and if someone hadn't left by the end of the day, they would ask questions.

Finally, the two of them left the Big Bazaar, and Kyle was greeted with his first look at the mainland.

Forest.

There were several roads leading away from the Big Bazaar, but everything else was covered in forest.

"And that's it," Selen said, looking at Kyle. "As long as you keep to the roads, you shouldn't encounter a lot of danger. Maybe there are a couple of bandits lurking around, but you do not look like an easy target with your armor and your big hammer."

"There are signs at every crossroad," she said, pointing at a bunch of signs. "With those, you won't get lost."

"Thank you so much, Selene," Kyle answered. "I don't know how I can repay you."

"Well, I don't think you need to repay me for anything," Selene said with a smile, "but if you ever want to visit, feel free to come by. I live in Forthing's Hold. It's quite a bit to the east, but I'm sure you can manage."

"Forthing's Hold, got it," Kyle said with a smile of his own. "I'll come visit you at some point."

Selene nodded with her own smile and jumped onto Skweera's back.
