Chapter 162 Heading To The Community.
The man noticed the paled expression on Aiden\'s face, and he quickly uttered again,
"Not like I don\'t know where the community is situated, but I wouldn\'t be able to give you proper direction on how to locate it, I\'m bad at giving directions. You\'d most likely get lost after following my direction, I\'m bad at it".
The man wanted to clear up everything, he didn\'t want Aiden to think he didn\'t just want to help him out though he knew where the community was situated.
Aiden nodded his head a little, from the young man\'s face, he knew he was being sincere. So he voiced out,
"But is the community far from this place?".
"Not that far, but it isn\'t near either, you\'d have to trek for some time before reaching it". The man responded.
As Aiden was nodding his head to his statement, the man voiced out once again,
"And it can be complicated, that\'s why directing you on how to locate it would be impossible for me. I\'m bad at giving directions already, not to talk of the complicated one. You can ask someone else".
Aiden thanked the man for at least listening to him and not being rude, then the man walked off, and Aiden began glancing around again searching for another person he was gonna ask for directions.
..Right now, Aiden had asked about three people for directions on how to locate the Wacan Community, and they all gave him the same answers.
\'We are bad at giving directions\'.
And Aiden was like, "Isn\'t there at least one person among the four of you that is good at giving directions?".
Time was going, maybe by now, his mum would have noticed that he wasn\'t at home anymore, and she\'d most likely be wondering where he went to. But Aiden doesn\'t want to think about that now.
He needed to locate the Wacan Community, he needed to find where Lucia\'s home was situated.
\'If only the system had chosen to help me out with this, then this wouldn\'t be happening\'. Aiden thought to himself.
Yes, the system could have easily helped him out with this, she was the undefeated system. She could have been directing him until he reaches the Wacan Community and even locates Lucia\'s house.
..But everything was part of accomplishing the quest...since he was given the quest to seduce and bang her, then locating her home was part of accomplishing it.
He needed to locate the community and her house today since school was resuming tomorrow. So though four people had told him they were bad at giving directions, he planned on asking more people.
He just hoped those more people wouldn\'t recognize him as the son of Ethan Dankworth. The four people he asked for directions didn\'t recognize him as Aiden Dankworth...and he was really glad.
..As known, not everyone is concerned about political matters...they don\'t know what the officials\' and their families\' faces look like.
Right now, Aiden had approached another person, a certain woman, and things were different this time. The woman didn\'t direct him on how he was gonna locate the Wacan Community though, but this is what she said to him while pointing to a certain man in white robe...
"Go meet that man, he owns a horse, he\'ll ride you straight to the Wacan Community".
A kind of surprised expression appeared on Aiden\'s face as he voiced out,
"Seriously?".
"Yes, go meet him, he\'ll ride you straight to your destination. But just so you know, you\'ll have to pay, he\'ll tell you the price, hope you have some money there".
Aiden nodded his head a little before voicing out once again,
"Yes, I have some copper coins with me, but I don\'t know if they\'d be enough for what the man would charge".
"He doesn\'t charge much, and not like the Wacan Community is too far from this place. Go meet him first". The woman stated.
Aiden thanked the woman before he began walking toward the man. According to what he was seeing, the man would be in his \'forties...it was based on probability though.
He reached where the man was standing, and the man noticed him immediately. And from the way Aiden was standing close to him, he knew Aiden wanted something from him...so he was just waiting for him to speak.
And Aiden spoke, "Ummm..sir, I was told to come meet you. According to what I was told, you own a horse, and you can ride me to my destination".
The man nodded his head a little before voicing out, "Yes, that\'s true, I own a horse, and I can ride you to your destination. Where is your destination? Where are you heading to?".
"The Wacan Community". Aiden responded.
"Oh, the Wacan Community, that\'s easy, I know where it is situated, and I can ride you there. And were you also told that I don\'t do these things for free?".
"Yes, I was told, how much would you charge to ride me to the community?".
"3 copper coins, have up to that amount with you?". The man inquired of Aiden.
Aiden had a total of 10 copper coins with him, and he was just so glad that he took some money with him. What would he have done if he hadn\'t done so?...he\'d be stuck.
And this would make his journey to the Wacan Community faster, he wouldn\'t have to trek there. And with this, he has a chance of reaching home a little early...let\'s say, before complete evening or dusk.
"Yes, I have up to that amount with me". Aiden responded.
"Well then, that\'s nice".
"But where\'s your horse? I can\'t seem to find any horse around here". Aiden uttered.
"I parked it somewhere else, this is a road, and people are walking about, you wouldn\'t expect me to park the horse here and block the road?". The man said to Aiden.
"Then please, let\'s head over to where the horse is. I need to get to the Wacan Community quickly, do whatever I want to do there, and see if I can arrive home on time". Aiden said to the man again.
"Let\'s get going then, follow my lead".
And after making that utterance, the man began walking, and Aiden followed him from behind...
..And you know what? Aiden was really glad, why? \'Cause people weren\'t recognizing he was the son of Ethan Dankworth.
All the people he\'s approached didn\'t recognize him as Aiden Dankworth, and that was true though. But there was something he didn\'t know, some people recognized him as the son of Ethan Dankworth but didn\'t say anything.
Not the people he approached, but the ones that were walking past and engaging in other activities. Some of them recognized him as Aiden Dankworth but didn\'t say anything...
..What would they gain from saying it?
The man kept on walking, and Aiden kept following him from behind. They strolled until they arrived at a certain place, and Aiden could see a horse there.
There weren\'t many people around the area, that\'s why the man chose to park and tie his horse there. Not too long after arriving at the place, the man forwarded his hand toward the horse and said to Aiden,
"And that is my horse, the one I use to fetch myself some money. And I am about to make some money from you".
A little smile appeared on Aiden\'s face due to the man\'s utterance, and the moment the smile vanished from his face, he said,
"Let\'s get going, no time to waste".
The man untied the horse, mounted it, and Aiden mounted it as well sitting at the back of the man...then the man put the horse in motion, he rode off.
Right now, they were on the road as the man was riding the horse with speed. Now, he was watching the speed though, he wasn\'t going too fast. But he was going fast to an extent that they\'d reach the community in no time.
The man was still riding the horse when he said to Aiden,
"You know, you\'re heading to a community of wealthy men. I believe some officials of this kingdom live there, high-ranked and average-ranked ones. There are lots of wealthy and average people there, you barely find poor people there,
Not like you wouldn\'t find them there, but they are very few".
..And Aiden did nothing more than nod his head a little, this man knew what he was saying.
Aiden didn\'t know lots of wealthy men resided in the community. But since the man had already said it, that confirms it. That\'s where Lucia\'s father\'s house was situated according to what the system told him.
That means some other officials\' homes were situated in that community as well. Everything has been confirmed, which means, Lucia\'s home was truly situated in the Wacan Community...
..The system definitely knew what she was saying.
