Chapter 1026: Let us help
In the end, Alidus said with a sigh, "Wait for the hunters to arrive, they will be able to track him and find him. It's better than all of us going out into the forest together and creating a large commotion to search for him. After all, there's no telling what kind of beasts could stir if we were to all go into the forest at once."
The giants slowly nodded in agreement since they couldn't deny the things that Alidus was saying.
However, it seemed like they didn't fully agree with this.
With the looks in their eyes, it even seemed like they were disappointed with what he said.
It was as if they didn't think that he was acting the way that he would normally act, so they were disappointed in him.
But they didn't say anything in the end since that was the prestige that he had in this giant village. At the same time, he was the junior chief of their tribe, so they had to leave this matter to him.
Alidus looked like he wasn't satisfied with this ending either, but it also seemed like there was nothing that he could do about this.
It was as if his hands were tied.
When he turned back around, it seemed like he was about to tell me to follow him back to the market.
However, before he could say this, I said, "Let's go and find that child."
Aldius was caught off guard by me saying this all of a sudden, but he quickly knitted his brows and shook his head. The look on his face made it clear that he didn't seem to trust me at all.
Then he said with the same look on his face, "There's no need for you to get involved in this matter. This is our own private matter."
"How long will it take for the hunters to come back?" I asked without a care for what he said.
Alidus was once again caught off guard when I said this, but then he slowly said, "They just separated after the hunt, so it'll be a while before we can get them together." Then in a softer voice, it was as if he was talking to himself as he said, "But if we don't have them tracking the child, it's unlikely that we will even be able to find him."
With my sharper senses, I heard what he said.
So I said, "Then let us help you."
Alidus looked at me with narrowed eyes as if he still didn't trust me, but it also seemed like he was wavering.
Seeing that he was wavering, I said, "This is related to running the stall."
A confused look appeared on his face when he heard this, so I explained, "If everyone's worried like this, who would want to trade with us? So the only thing that we can do is solve everyone's worries so that they can trade with us without any worries."
Alidus didn't know what to think as he looked at me.
There was a strange look on his face as he silently stared at me, but eventually his expression relaxed a bit as he said, "Then I'll thank you on behalf of everyone."
It seemed like there had been a great struggle that had passed inside of him, but eventually he decided to trust me and let us help with finding the child. After all, the safety of the child was the most important thing right now and they couldn't waste time like this.
It was a fact that it would be much easier to find the child with the help of the wyverns.
At the same time, it would be more dangerous for the child if they delayed any longer.
The first twenty four hours were the most important when it came to a child going missing. Any longer than that, there was no telling what could happen to the child.
There really wasn't any time to waste at all.
I didn't waste any time either since I understood the urgency of the situation.
Once that was decided, we immediately headed back to where the rest of the wyverns were waiting.
Of course, it wasn't as if we could all go since it was certain that they would have the wrong idea if we all suddenly flew away into the forest like this. At the very least, the rest of them had to wait until Olmir came with the rest of the giant hunters to go with them.
So the group that we chose was just me, Shaka, and Klein.
Klein was coming as the muscle and Shaka was coming along as the tracker.
Shaka had experience in the military, so he was quite the tracker.
He wasn't actually any worse than the giant hunters.
In fact, his experience might have even made him better than the giant hunters.
As for Alidus' team, he brought along a few subordinates of his that would help us search the
area.
They weren't that useful when it came to tracking, but at least they knew the area around the village since they had worked as guards before. They had patrolled the area and knew what was around the area which certainly would help.
With Alidus leading the way, it wasn't a problem for us to leave the village.
Even though we were humans, the mother of the lost giant child came forward and said with tears in her eyes, "Please, please find my child."
I just gave her a simple nod and said, "We'll do what we can."
Alidus nodded in agreement without saying anything.
After all, we knew that it was impossible to promise anything.
If we promised anything and something were to happen, it would be on us for giving her false
hope.
This was just how things were in this world, it was impossible for guarantee anything...
But at the very least...
I took a deep breath and said in a firm voice, "We'll do everything that we can."
This was different from what I said before.
Instead, it seemed more like a promise rather than just perfunctory words.
All of the giants looked at me differently after they heard this, but I just ignored this as I
looked right at the mother of the lost child.
She just gave a slight nod in the end.
