Wolfeight and Wolfnine both bent down and bowed deeply to Martin.
“You two…” Martin had wanted to stop them, but when he saw the sincerity in their eyes, he sighed and shook his head. He knew them well enough—if he refused their gratitude, they would only feel more guilty.
After a moment, when they finished bowing, Martin said calmly,
“All right. We’re all part of the Wolfteeth Tribe. Helping each other is what we should do. Don’t take this matter too seriously—it’s already over.”
Wolfeight and Wolfnine smiled faintly and nodded. Still, their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at him.
“Oh, right,” Wolfeight suddenly said, “I heard you mention something about hatching that golden egg and taming a python?”
Wolfnine’s eyes widened. “Martin, you’re not serious, are you?”
Marti
