287 Old Man

Jake looked at the old man carefully.

He was wearing black robes with golden patterns flowing on them with a rich glow. He had a full head of gray hair and a confident stature.

As for the cane that he was leaning on, even that felt like it was more than just a normal cane. It was made of wood, but it shone in the light.

Jake didn't mince any words.

"Who are you? What do you know about the emporium?" He asked, not even attempting to sheathe his sword.

"Put the toy away, little boy, before you hurt yourself." The old man shook his head and chuckled.

"Do you want to go to the emporium or not?" He asked.

Jake paused for a second.

"He knows what the emporium is. And he is clearly an NPC. I'm sure that no one else knows where to look, and maybe he is the only one who can tell me where it is. Whatever, it is just an F ranked mission, there shouldn't be any danger here." Thoughts raced in his head as Jake tried to make a decision.
