Ajax's face-changing potion didn’t just change his face into a random face; it was the face of one of the top-ranked guards in the palace. The potion was designed to give him the face of anyone within a particular field that the drinker was thinking about, which in Ajax's case was a palace guard. So Ajax knew he had that to his advantage.Ajax noticed a group of guards that were all heading into the fortress. He saw that they were all carrying different items that seemed to look like food items as they were all going through the main gate. Ajax quickly snuck over to the carriage that had the food that the guards were grabbing, stood up, and picked up a bag of food that he had no idea what was inside. After that, he joined the line of guards as he slowly went into the palace.‘What is inside this bag? My best guess is wheat or rice; I don’t know, but that doesn’t matter; this must mean that all the guards that are carrying these bags are heading towards the palace food storage or kitch
"Can you climb down the rope?" He asked raising an eyebrow."I don’t know for sure; I am weak, but I will try my best," Hudson responded in a weak tone. From Hudson’s tone, Ajax felt that Hudson wouldn’t be able to do it, and he felt bad that Hudson was dehydrated. Ajax remembered a spell that would make him enchant water out of thin air. He told Hudson to quickly open up his mouth as he started waving hand signs and saying the enchantment words as water appeared out of thin air and splashed all over Hudson as some went into his mouth."Woah!" Hudson screamed with a lot of excitement; he almost doesn’t remember what it feels like to drink water."Be quiet, come; let’s quickly get out of here before anyone comes over," Ajax said softly. Hudson stood up as Ajax helped him go down the rope. They both landed on the ground as they looked around to see if any guards were in sight.Ajax tapped Hudson on the shoulder. "Make sure you follow behind me carefully; we need to get out of here quiet
***Hudson and Ajax were sitting in front of each other behind a table in a fancy restaurant. They just finished eating when Ajax called the waiter to come and clear the dishes as he paid for their food."How do you feel now after eating?" Ajax asked, staring at Hudson."I feel good; it has been a while since I ate a full meal like this," Hudson responded with a bright smile."So, tell me, how did you end up getting arrested by the king, and since when have you been in his custody?" Ajax inquired. He looked around the restaurant to make sure that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation."It’s a long story; I will try to summarize everything as quickly as I can," Hudson responded. He started narrating to Ajax how he got arrested when he came back from the modern world and was taken to the king. He narrated how the king questioned him to know where he had been for the past couple of days as they had been spying on him. After lying to the king multiple times about his whereabouts,
"I don’t know, but that is what the system asked me to do. I was shocked myself, but I have no choice but to pass the mission, and it’s not like I haven’t killed someone before; this won’t be my first time. I will have to get it done. Yes, I hate ending someone’s life, but at some point, I will have to accept that killing is now a part of me," Hudson explained.Hearing all this, Ajax went quiet. Yes, one part of him was happy that Hudson now accepts that he is now a killer. But his other part is not happy that Hudson has thrown away his decency."You are right," Ajax muttered."Tell me, where are we going to find Morris? And how do we go about killing him?" Hudson asked calmly. That was the only thing on his mind since he told Ajax about the mission.Suddenly, a loud scream came from the entrance of the restaurant. "Nobody move!" Everyone turned to look at the entrance of the restaurant as they saw three royal guards standing there.Ajax and Hudson gaped as they turned to look at eac
"Morris the Grappler is currently running from the law for all the atrocities he has committed. I have heard a few people say that he has been spotted living in the rainforest for a while and that anytime he gets spotted, he moves to a new location inside the forest. So, my best guess is that if we want to find him, we are going to go deep into the rainforest. But we are going to be very careful; there are a couple of mystical beasts inside that forest, and they are all dangerous, and being that we are going at a time like this, we are going to summon all the best enchantment weapons that we have," Ajax narrated.Hudson was spooked to hear about the rainforest; he hasn’t been to the rain forest before, but from the ones he has seen on TV back in the modern world, he could tell how dangerous they are. But he knew that everything in the magical world is like times two of how it is in the modern world, so he expects that the rain forest here is going to be more dangerous than the ones ba
“Okay, thanks for the information, I never knew that,” Ajax responded.They kept walking into the forest, when they got to a part where there was a brown skin like clothing that was covering a large area of the forest and all the trees that were supposed to be in sight has been cut down. The rain could barely pass through the canopy clothing. They went in and looked around. “Where is this?” Hudson asked looking around.“I don’t know, but I think the canopy that is covering this area is made out of animal skin. From the looks of it, a human did it.” Ajax answered.“Do you think it is Morris the grappler?” Hudson asked looking around to see if he could spot any other thing.“Yes, it should be, no regular human build such a fortress just to stay here except someone that is running from the world and that person is Morris,” Ajax said.“Look around,” he added.Suddenly Hudson spotted a tent that looked like it was also made out of animal skin. “Look at this,” he said softly. Ajax turned
Hudson dropped his sword with a disappointed look on his face. ‘I know I did it, but for what cause? Killing someone? Morris might be a dangerous criminal, but do I get to make the call on whether he lives or not? I can’t say I am happy about killing him; if it wasn't to pass my mission, I wouldn’t have done it. Also, I never thought the system issued such missions’ Multiple thoughts ran through Hudson’s mind.Ajax saw how sad and tensed Hudson looked as he placed one hand on his shoulder. "What are you thinking about?" Ajax didn’t need to ask the question, as from the look on Hudson’s face, he could already tell that he was feeling bad about killing Morris."It’s just that I did…." Before Hudson could finish his speech, Ajax cut him off. "I know what you are going to say, but you don’t have to feel guilty; Morris deserved it, and it’s not like it was easy for us to kill him; it was a difficult process, but now that we have done it, you should be happy that you have passed your missi
"Hmmm," Ajax muttered as he placed one hand under his chin.‘What we are going to need to get out of this situation is going to be a lot; the king is very stubborn, and I think he is ready to do whatever it takes to get rid of me. So, pleading with him is not an option; we are going to need to do something bigger to get rid of this situation. I think what we need to do is get rid of him, but how are we going to do that? The king is a level 100 magician; it will be very tough to go against him, and to do that, we are going to need more magicians and manpower’ Hudson thought.Hudson was thinking about going against the king, as that is the only option that comes to mind, but with the power the king possesses and the number of guards he has, it would be almost impossible to go up against him. If they are willing to get that done, they are going to need a lot of people and manpower. But Hudson was not sure if he should tell Ajax about the plan he has on his mind; he is not sure if Ajax wo
