The two of them arrived at a nearby tavern and found a spot to sit down. Just as Ethan was about to order, the teenager quickly stopped him and said, "No need to spend money. You must have something you need my help with, right?"
"Smart," Ethan thought to himself. Still, he ordered a few dishes—mostly because he wanted to eat. After ordering, he turned to the boy and asked, "What's your name? I mean your in-game name." The teen's ID was hidden, and all Ethan could see was that he was a Warrior.
"My in-game name is Atom. If there's something I can help with, just say the word. I'll do my best," Atom replied.
"There is something, actually. I need a particular herb, and it's only available from your master. I tried to buy it from him, but he kicked me out," Ethan said helplessly.
"Really? I'll see what I can do then. My master has a pretty strange temper. If he doesn't want to sell something, no amount of money will make him change his mind," Atom said.
