When William opened his eyes, he saw a familiar person beside him. She was sleeping in a sitting position by the small fire with her head between her legs. She looked too tired and injured to notice that William had woken up.William got up immediately and checked his body. After seeing that everything was in place and already healed, he called out to Malise but received no response.When he didn't get an answer from Malise, he laid her down where he had just laid down before and waited for her to heal after drinking to her a few potions. The wounds on her arms and chest were visibly healing. Apparently, she had been blown by the wind like William, but she had woken up and done something before. William saw that the exit was blocked by several rocks.William's last memory was of hitting his head against a hard object, but he could not remember what it was. Now he realized that this hard object was the rocks that Malise had placed at the entrance of the cave. Malise had closed it after
In the city of Grenscar, thousands of corpses lay in Yellowsand Castle. Although most of these corpses were apprentices, the surrounding ruins revealed the extent of the war that had broken out at the beginning of the storm. Even thousands of innocent, ordinary people joined the massacre and became one of the corpses lying on the ground.This war, so great that the city of Grenscar would not forget it for decades, was thankfully over.With the storm still raging, the victorious side imposed a ban on leaving the city and activated all the city's defenses.Now Nicolas' reign was over. Although it is unknown whether Nicolas was dead or not, the Towers and the group called Pilgrims of the Desert that had captured the city were strong enough to defend the city, and the city's captured defenses were enough to keep Nicolas at bay.The second day brought happy news. Lennard had barely survived the storm and returned to the city of Grenscar. His followers, who had greeted his arrival with enth
The next day, the storm slowly showed signs of abating. First of all, the elements began to decrease, and the power of the wind decreased accordingly. It was no problem for the second-rank mages to travel freely, but there was still danger for the first-rank mages. Lawrence and Doravoli decided to wait a little longer and left the cave on the eighth day when the storm had almost diminished to a slightly gusty wind.During this time, Lawrence tried to bond with the children as much as he could, but they rejected him as if he had murdered their mother. It was then that Doravoli's words relieved Lawrence of his sadness."Leave it to time. Of course, they will get used to it." Doravoli said, knowing that what he was saying was logical. The children might never forget the death of their mother and father, but they would get used to it.Unfortunately, that was the way of the time to deal with things.When they left the cave, they encountered a completely different kind of rocks. Most of the
William walked with Malise. Since most of the big rocks were flattened, it was not difficult to find their way, and after 4 days they arrived at Grenscar. At first, William thought he should look for Doravoli, but after Malise's words, he decided to go to Grenscar."If you're telling the truth, everyone should be in Grenscar," Malise said this because William claimed that he had killed Nicolas."Are you questioning me? Of course, I killed him! You'll see when you get to Grenscar!" William flew ahead like a grumpy, unpleasant old man.At Grenscar they were both in for a surprise. Lawrence and Doravoli jumped on them and hugged them as soon as they appeared at the city gate.While Malise blushed with excitement, William was not happy at all. Because Doravoli decided to hug William."Hey! Stop rubbing your dirty beard on my belly!" Doravoli was just above William's belly button."You don't know how much I miss you, my dear friend! And don't call my beard dirty! "I care for them as if the
Doravoli gnawed at the remains of the feast. He devoured everything on the table untouched, like a greedy scavenger.When he saw William at the door, he froze as he bit into a piece of meat."Hah! That's why you're fat!" William yelled, pointing at Doravoli. "And you make excuses, but you're busy eating in the middle of the night!""Wait, no, I can explain." Doravoli put down the meat in his hands, ran up to William, wiped his greasy hands on himself, and fell at his feet."Help me, William. I do not know what to do! No matter what I eat, my body is hungry." Doravoli almost cried, despite his age and beard.Ever since he and William went camping, his body felt empty, and as a hungry person, he couldn't stop himself from attacking the food he saw all the time. Doravoli had not shown much of it at the time because Lawrence had children with him, but now that he was alone, he had no reason not to feed himself.William looked at Doravoli, who was kneeling at his feet with her still greasy
"You know, Doravoli, rushing is the devil."Doravoli showed a pained expression and then gave in. He took a deep breath. "You're right. I shouldn't rush. But William, honestly, this memory was perfect for me, and I feel like I learned a new ability."This got William's attention. He immediately straightened in his chair. "What kind of ability? Can you demonstrate it? What's its name?""The name is a bit odd." Doravoli put her hand to her chin as if solving a puzzle. "No matter what I do, I can't express this ability normally, my voice has to come from deep in my throat, and even my expression must have darkened a bit.""Don't drive me crazy, just tell me." William began to get impatient. Must there be certain conditions to call a talent? What kind of ability was this? Now that he thought about it, he also realized. While he was using [Absolute Cut], a voice inside him told him to say it out loud.Doravoli stood up and held out his hand as if he were holding something. "THIS AXE IS MIN
When Lawrence saw William speaking so emotionally, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. But he had to admit that William was so touched that he even had tears in his eyes. He thanked William. The ideas that came to his mind were not good enough to come close to what William showed."Thank you, William, I will." He took the ring and examined it. The runes engraved on it were not big, powerful, and important runes. It just radiated a slight warmth that warmed the wearer's insides.Lawrence asked. William was now one of his most important friends. Lennard had told him what had happened at the last minute. William had done what he couldn't and made his dreams come true. A person like him was not easy for Lawrence to find."Have you ever thought about getting married and having kids?"William turned his head to the view. "Thinking is normal. Such thoughts have crossed my mind a few times, but I never really sat down and thought about it." William shook his head. "Romance is not on my a
"Are you sure this is the place, Doravoli?" William shouted in an angry tone. They had been searching an area Doravoli had pointed out almost since morning."Of course it is! Look, this rock is still intact! My house was next to it." Even though Doravoli was shouting, he couldn't help but grunt. "Where did that damn house go?"They were three days away from Grenscar. They were in the small town of Greyscar. This town, with a population of no more than three thousand, was a blacksmith's paradise, as it was surrounded by very rich metal mines. Although these mines were not located in large mountains, they could be reached with a little digging. The area around the town was full of adventurers who wanted to find some metals for themselves. Occasionally, even second-rank mages would come and mine individually. So the town of Greyscar, with its inns and blacksmiths, was doing well.Although the population did not exceed three thousand, in certain months of the year it could easily exceed t
