They all ran out the door that led to the backyard and surrounded the tired group that was seated on the ground, gasping for air after defeating all the Arias.
Archa got up with a jump and a big smile and shouted, “Hurray! Now, this is getting interesting! Get up, you guys! We have some old people to knock out! Are you going to join the fight as well, Tharn? Because I wouldn’t mind cracking your head open!”
“Sorry, I can’t. I have to go meet Omarosa and Rusalka to deliver the requests for the new jewellery from all those Clerics and Nobl
Rusalka put on the counter the jewellery she had been working on, and she held the hands of her new version and hugged her.They both looked at Omarosa with such a smile that she felt her heart skipping a beat, and she said, “Yeah… Rusalka and Vila… That will work…”Tharn emptied the other purses full of coins over the table and said, “What about if we divided this so that I could leave you to work? Or to have fun with them, whatever you want. I want to return to the Guild and check what my friends are doing and see if they are still alive. I left them fighting with a bunch of Adventurers, but maybe they need to rest and get ready for dinner. If they are still alive, I mean!”Omarosa pulled a pile of coins in her direction and started separating the silver from the gold coins, piling them up.She then counted the piles, separated them in half, and pushed one half to Tharn and another half to her.With Rusalka, Vila, Tharn and Iris helping, they finished quickly, and Tharn bid his fare
While Istar and Salama were fighting the Adventurers in their Guild, and Tharn was relaxing over a cup of tea with Iris, in the ‘Grand Duchy of Sirion’, the Duke was on his throne, reading a report.In front of him was his most powerful Mage, a very secretive individual whom few people had ever heard speak. At his side were two of his apprentices, who were Expert Rank Mage Summoners.The Duke raised his eyes and asked with a frown, “Mage Tharin, is this report accurate?”“ With an awkward smile, Istar said, “You know, you have gotten a little different ever since you are with Tharn. You stopped looking down on others and saying ‘the mighty Iris Thunderclover’ all the time! I guess… you have become friendlier?”“What are you talking about, dumbass? I was always friendly towards people that deserved to be in my presence! I am just tolerating a bit more low lives like you and the others in that weird bunch you call Party of Adventurers!”Istar looked at Tharn and complained with a tired Lord Tharn Zon Chapter 82 – Morning craziness
Kunal Panigrahi shook her head so that her long braid went to her back, and as she fixed her chest armour, she asked, “A Quest? What kind of Quest? And since when do we tag along with other Parties?”“We don’t, but I do. Or better yet, I started when you were both locked inside your room at the Inn. A lot has happened while you were there, but it is better if I tell you everything while you eat, or you are going to be late and we will leave you behind.”Som Panigrahi gulped down in one go the cup that Kishar brought to him, and asked, &l
The owner of the red claw faced Tharn and said, “Hello again, little Humanish! Long time, no see! I thought you died already because I haven’t heard any news about you going after any Dragon!”“Hello, Herensuge. It is better if you stay away, and tell your friends and relatives to keep their distance from my group because today we came to fight Dragons.”“Really? Good luck with that, then! I don’t have any relatives here, nor friends! All these Dragons are my rivals, so I couldn’t care less if any of them die! In fact,
For the following weeks, Tharn and his group did nothing else besides train in the afternoon with fights, hunts, or learning new moves; celebration and breeding at night; celebration and breeding in the morning.Surprisingly, the Fire Dragon Herensuge joined them, acting most of the time as a sparring partner with whoever wanted to fight him.In the first few days, he was holding back while fighting in the Guild’s backyard, but when he realised that if he held back he was going to get hurt, he changed his approach and fought at full force. When he did that, they had to change the training grounds to the open field a few metres
By the end of the afternoon, Tharn returned, riding Herensuge and escorted by four Anubys.They landed in the backyard, and Herensuge put on the ground the claws he was carrying in his paws, while the four Anubys spat pieces of Drake’s meat, teeth, claws, and scales. And a bunch of Balloons’ meat and wings.The Guild Master looked at the piles and asked with a frown, “What the heck is that? You went hunting without us?”“I had to. Herensuge was pissed, so I thought it was better if we went after a few Balloons, but then three Drakes had the bad idea to attack us.”“Yeah, Synesia and Istar told us what happened in the City square. I had no idea the Mayor was keeping the rent money for himself. We never worried about Herensuge stopping protecting this City, because we all thought he was getting his rent money. I guess I should have checked that. Me and all the merchants and shop owners in this City, because part of our taxes goes to the rent money.”“So you knew Herensuge was the owner
One week later, they were all in a clearing in a forest that one of Tharn’s Anubys created. There were no villages around, only forest for kilometres around.He was right in the middle of it, with all the Adventurers and his Party waiting for him.After one slow, deep breath, he said, “Until now, I have been pushing you more and more. Today, I will go up a notch. Grab your weapons and gather your Magic because we are going to do a different exercise. Except you, Iris. I need you to heal anyone that gets hurt. We have here only half of the Adventurers of our Guild because the other half is
