Passerby Villain In A Wizard World

Chapter 174 - 174: Preparation To Leave (2)

Once Ron and Torren were gone, Varn's demeanor shifted 180 degrees. Without explaining much, he barked out orders before swiftly climbing down the ladder he had come from.

He didn't even look back or offer any explanation—just vanished below deck as if he didn't care whether they followed him or not.

What could be said? He wasn't exactly rude, but he certainly wasn't welcoming either.

"Damn! Who are you calling brats?"

"Why is he so rude?"

Sure enough, his attitude irked the youngsters, who were full of hope for their upcoming journey and wizarding path.

However, since the person meant to guide them was already out of sight, everyone had to follow to keep up, as they indeed needed his help at the moment.

"Hey, Ian, did you see their necks and skin?"

Among the crowd were Ian, Lyra, and Aurora, while Henry followed behind with Carl, whom he had already spotted after teleporting. He seemed quite talkative when it came to Carl but never acted the same with Ian. Maybe it was because Ian was already with Lyra, or maybe it was for some other reason.

Anyway, when Ian heard Lyra's curious question, he nodded.

"Yeah, I saw it too. So, don't think they're normal humans without powers like Wizards. If I am right, they might be the product of a Wizard's re

Varn pointed at the short, fat guy, who snorted in displeasure.

"Just make sure to come to the dining hall on time. It's right at that corner."

"Of course, if you want, you're free to prepare your own food. Just don't go outside hunting in the sea once we set sail. I won't care if you disappear inexplicably."

Varn spread his hands as if he didn't care.

"Anyway, all you have to do is stay where you should and don't wander around. Remember, there will be no stops during this journey. Be prepared, do meditation, or whatever you want in your free time. Just don't disturb me or my crew. Got it?"

He asked loudly at the end, expecting a response, but got none, making him look a bit awkward. He had rambled so much for the sake of the captain's order, but what he got in return was the bored look of the crowd.

"What about the bottom layer? What's there? You didn't talk about it," Carl finally asked, breaking the awkward silence with curiosity, making the crew look even more irritated.

"Heh, the bottom layer is where we live. It's also where supplies are stored, and many things are done to operate this ship. It doesn't just run on its own, you know."

Although Varn was also displeased by their lack of response, he still answered. Then, as if he remembered something, he added with a sly grin,

"If you guys want, you can visit the bottom layer. Just don't blame me if something happens or if you get traumatized. You're on your own in that case. I'm too busy to ca—"

"What?"

"Eww!"

"What is that?"

"Is that even human?"

Varn was just about to finish his lecture when the crowd's astonished voices stopped him abruptly.
