Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 166

This fellow was suspicious.

He was never part of an academy, and he had never been part of a Fighter Guild.

Yet, their Sorcerer said that he helped him against the Forest Muncher.

These things were not easy to deal with.

They were big and fast.

Some random guy from some random Cradle couldn't do that.

One of the Fighters looked at the other and sent him a meaningful look.

"We have an outpost in Hillscape, but if you want to join, you have to travel to Starkhold, which is about 100 kilometers to Hillscape's east," he said.

"A hundred fucking kilometers," Kyle said with a sigh before looking at the horizon.

It was already evening, and he wanted to go to sleep soon.

'Now, I have to travel another hundred kilometers. That's like… I dunno… somewhere between 50 and 90 miles or something.'

'I don't wanna run for another three hours.'

"Thanks," Kyle said after a bit. "Guess I got some more walking to do."

"James, my tracking Spell only lasts for so long," the Sorcerer said to one of the Fighters.

The Fighter nodded before looking back at Kyle. "Glad to meet another Fighter. Maybe, we will go on a mission together in the future. Excuse me, but we have to get going."

Everyone said their goodbyes, and Kyle continued on his way.

As he walked away, he threw a look at the merchant, who was inspecting his destroyed caravan beast.

Kyle just shrugged and kept walking.

"They are suspicious of your origins," Theodor said.

"I noticed," Kyle answered. "They weren't exactly subtle with their expressions. Is that a problem?"

"It's not up to them to judge your origins and allegiance," Theodor answered. "They are just regular members. Their directions are somewhat trustworthy."

"Somewhat?" Kyle asked as he kept running down the street.

"I don't know a lot about Fighter Guilds, but I would assume that you can also join one by registering at an outpost. Yet, they have told you to skip the outpost and go to another city."

"I remember Starkhold. That city already existed back when I was still alive. It's probably the biggest city in the surrounding 100 kilometers or so."

"My suspicion is that they sent you there so that you meet with stronger members of the Fighter Guild. If there is anything suspicious about your origin, the higher-ups will find out."

"Is that a problem?" Kyle asked.

"No," Theodor said. "Just go to Starkhold. Registering with the headquarters is easier, and it should have more missions to choose from."

"Sure thing, Boss," Kyle said.

Kyle continued running for another hour and finally reached Hillscape.

By now, the sun had already set.

Hillscape was a town on top of a big hill.

The town itself was probably around two kilometers in diameter, and it had several fortifications.

The surrounding three kilometers were all farmland, and Kyle could see plenty of farmers walking back into their houses after a hard day of work.

Kyle entered Hillscape without any issues and searched for an inn.

'I want to sleep in an actual fucking bed for once. I'm tired of sleeping in the wilderness.'

He quickly found a beautiful inn near the edge of the town and asked for a room.

When he heard the price, he became concerned.

"I don't have silver," Kyle said. "I only have Ether Pebbles."

The employee called the manager over, who was super nice to Kyle.

In the end, Kyle gave them one Ether Pebble and got two gold and a hundred silver in return, in addition to the room.

When he entered his room, Kyle's eyes widened.
