System Sword Record 5, World Craddumster The Portal appeared, and my Master went through it. I did the usual routine to access the World’s Magic, and to make my Master able to understand the language. In front of us, a new World greeted us, and from behind, came a shout, “Hey! What are you doing here, dumbass? Where did you come from?” My Master turned around, wondering who the owner of such a young and angry voice was, and what he saw baffled him. It was a cute young boy, nearly ten or twelve years old, with short curly yellow hair and light blue eyes, with a tiny animal seated on his right shoulder that looked extremely weird and was holding a small war hammer. Next to the boy, a man was seated on the ground, under the shade of a tree. He looked puzzled, but despite the peaceful look he had while looking at my Master, his hand was over the hilt of a sword that was lying on the ground at his side. He seemed to be having lunch with the young boy, and perhaps our arrival interrupt

Istar glanced at Tharn, who shrugged at her. She felt that something was off because the soldiers stationed in that long corridor kept on looking at them as they followed the servant, and near some of the soldiers, there were Mages, also checking out the group of Adventurers.At the end of the corridor, there were four guards, with yellow shining armour and long swords in their hands, and before opening the doors, they checked Istar’s invitation and Synesia’s gold-plate.One soldier gasped at the sight of an Adventurer gold-plate, especially at their young age, meaning that they were absurdly powerful and dangerous for a

Then, Tharn came to a halt and walked to the table. Without waiting for an invitation, he sat at the table, right in front of the Head Cleric, and after looking around at all the members of the government, he explained, “What I am about to say can’t leave this room. It would be better if all the soldiers, Mages, and prisoners went to another room so that I could explain what happened and what we must do.”One Cleric, seated on the right side of the Head Cleric, complained, “You can’t possibly think we are going to trust you and your friends to be all alone with us without any kind of security after what happened!”“I expect exactly that because if it weren’t for me and my friends, you would be dead by now. Do I also need to remind you that Mage had been working here for five years and you trusted him blindly? And if I wanted to kill you and everyone in this room, you would all die, and these soldiers and Mages wouldn’t be able to do a thing to stop me. Besides, I have a Fairy on my sid

While Istar went to the exit doors, followed by all her friends and the guests, the Head Cleric went to the balcony with his family and all the members of the government, and Istar’s Force Old Elementals exited the room from a big window and flew to the rooftop of the building to watch over the crowd.The Head Cleric saw them landing at the edge of the rooftop and said, “Amazing creatures… They seem alive and extremely intelligent!”His wife was looking up as well and said, “I never heard about Elementals that could act on their own! How did she do that?”“That is something you can ask her, my dear. Those youngsters seem to know a lot more about Magic than they should at their age. Perhaps the way they do things will make the Scholars rethink their conceptions about Magic.”“Yes, you could be right. But creating a completely new Elemental... and the others! Those enormous spiders and that Golem made of rock! How they made those, I have no idea!”The Head Cleric approached his mouth fr

By the end of the afternoon, Tharn and his group left, with a promise to return to visit the Head Cleric when there were fewer people around so that they could plan their next actions regarding the Brotherhood of Necromancers and their strange Leader. Tharn adjusted his bag, which was full of purses with gold and silver coins from all the pieces of jewellery he had sold, and complained, “This bag was lighter when we arrived. I wasn’t counting on selling everything that Omarosa and Rusalka made! Not even a ring was left! And I got a few orders for some very specific pieces!” Read more
