The Innkeeper

Chapter 1508  Too strong

When the pain of the baptism finally subsided, Lex sighed. Those observing him thought he sighed in relief, finally free of the pain. Yet in truth, he was sighing because it was rare to find time to just sit and think for a while.

Now, he couldn't say life was exactly perfect, but it was going swimmingly well before Licanderoth told him about harboring a fugitive. That had been troubling him, and Lex had really been thinking hard about what to do since then.

The best practical plan he could come up with was to return to the Inn and immediately complete some quests and hope for a decent reward. But hoping that he would get a reward that would help him counter a Dao Lord was just wishful thinking and he knew it.

He could hope that closing the Inn would keep the Dao Lords from finding him, but that was escapism and not a real plan. Unless he planned on keeping the inn closed till he became a Dao Lord, that wasn't an option. Considering he had no idea when he would reach such a realm, and probably couldn't keep the Inn closed for so long, that was not a practical plan.

Of course, he could just do nothing. Or he could ask for help from the Governor. Or, and this was somehow the craziest of his plans, he could go and confront that mysterious guest.
