We were all waiting for those people in that place. We didn't know how to react to a battle at that hour. There was very little visibility, it was too difficult for everyone. Alfred was the only one who was ready to cast a spell to protect us, we just waited for those people to talk and explain to us what they were doing at this hour walking as if nothing happened.Little by little they approached us and we could see that one of them began to speak.-Soldiers...hello we were sent by the kingdom of the land of Lions to help you, a little while the war is going on, we know that if you lose, Schlange will come for us too.I was already a bit serious when I heard that, I didn't know if it was true or not. They got here very quickly. One of the heroes spoke, this time the one who interrogated me a little while ago to confirm that I was a hero.-How did they get here so fast?-Since two days ago there was a warning about what was happening in the south. The guild wasn't sure about interveni
I stayed to wait for the guards who roamed the city, I just wanted to talk to them to know what had happened here while we were at war. I had a sense of curiosity, as what I had encountered recently left me with a lot to think about. For me it was something strange to be here waiting for that person.I just lay down on one of the chairs in the place to rest a little, I had been very uncomfortable in the wagon that brought me here, besides it only brought me a little closer to this city, I was too far away, so I had to walk.When I started to fall asleep, the guards of this place arrived, but they were not wearing the armor that usually had on those who guarded this city. They were just two men, both wearing normal clothes and they were a bit dirty, as if they had walked all night in a swamp.They looked at me as soon as they saw me, they thought it was strange that someone who looked like a hero was in front of them.The receptionist of the place spoke.-He is a hero who came all the
I continued my journey to the south of the continent, as much as I wanted to stay to get the thieves out of other countries, I couldn't, I just sent a letter to the Altamira guild to send soldiers and guards for now. Since the mission the guild had authorized, I was a little curious. I knew that maybe all the heroes would be there because of the way the guild acted, not caring about the conflicts that were going on at the time.When I left the country I was practically out of money, since when I paid for the carriage ride I noticed that I did not have enough money left to return home. I felt for a while when I realized that the trip I would be making was quite long, plus I had to pay for food for the rest of the trip. The first stop I made out of the country was in a town where several caravans with heroes had passed by.This place despite being quite small had many inhabitants, who were dedicated to selling objects for travelers. When I arrived there they immediately realized who I
I walked for more than three kilometers in the middle of all that vegetation, it was a little complicated for me at first and that in the time I was walking, and the sun came out at one moment to another, unfortunately in the south of the continent it was too hot and it was too difficult, but I did not want to arrive at the camp at night, I had no choice but to accelerate the pace a little.I saw smoke coming from that place as if something was burning, maybe someone had been careless and created that.From a distance I could see the place a little better. There were several houses in a hilly area. There were people there, they didn't look like adventurers or heroes, but at least I could get information by talking to them.I kept walking to them without caring about the heat, as it was getting darker and darker, and that place was much farther away than I thought, I almost ran out of breath several times. This area was quite complicated to fight a battle. I just hoped that all this ef
I saw that man quite anxious to get out of here and I approached him. He was wearing a straw hat and a green vest. He had a lot of beard on his face and green eyes.-Hey, can you help me get out of here," I said.He looked at me rather strangely, maybe he didn't understand what a person like me was doing here. He spoke to me in a subtle voice.-I shouldn't be in this place. ....When I saw that he started to hesitate and stopped bringing down the boxes with groceries, I tried to help him. He looked very thoughtful, and I didn't understand why.There were almost twenty wooden boxes, quite heavy, they looked like wine bottles or something like that. I didn't ask him, I just put them down right away.He stood silently watching me as I lowered the boxes. That scared me a little, I didn't understand why he was looking at me that way and he didn't try to explain it to me. I avoided at all costs to look at him again, I just did what I could with those boxes, I took them down one by one until
The three of us walked for a long time until we arrived almost in the evening hours to a city, it seemed somewhat uninhabited, there were not many people on the streets and there was some silence. There were only a few vendors offering their products.My two companions were calm, maybe they had already come to this place and it seemed normal for them to walk here. I just tried to calm down and go along with them. Although I was very worried about being like this. This mission was a complete challenge. I watched with some concern the behavior of all the people. Since they were pretending to be fineAlfred without hesitation stopped at a kind of bar and we followed them until he entered there. There were many people drinking wine in the early hours. They were quite irresponsible, as some of them were heroes or adventurers. I knew they were doing it to ease some stress, but they were overdoing it.The elf led us to a table and the three of us sat there. I was nervous, I had no way to hel
The next day I woke up in a room in a very small bed. Alfred and the hermit were still sleeping. They paid for this lodging, we had to sleep here, because the rest were full and we had no other choice. I got up a little tired from the floor and tried to stretch a little, I took off that helmet and put it on the floor. I looked out the window and began to see the horizon. The sun was slowly rising. I didn't know what would be waiting for us on this mission, but the weather would be against us. We had to carry some provisions for more than a week, we could only carry a few loaves of bread in a bag. I saw some people who started walking at that hour. They all looked like heroes and adventurers going south of this place to do the mission. I was surprised to see how little they were coming out of different places.Alfred called me when he saw me at the window.-Is something wrong Isaac?-No, not everything is fine, many have already started to leave to go to do the mission.-Ah... ok,
Before dawn Alfred, the hermit was already awake. We had to start moving early in this area. Apparently everyone was sleeping and we would not have to face anyone for now, the only difficult thing was that the area we were in was too dark at the moment. It was difficult to walk. So we waited a bit for the sun to come up and for the sun rays to come out.We could no longer see or smell the smoke, the flames we had seen the night before had been extinguished. Everything was calm again in this place. As we waited for the sky to clear up a bit. I thought that the elf would do some kind of magic to light the way, but apparently, he was saving energy for the battles we would have. I felt a little cold, the weather here was like that of the desert, during the day a little hot and at night a little cold. Unfortunately these were the weather conditions we had to face from now on.I took my helmet from the ground and put it on, the sun had already risen a little, it was enough to start tourin
