Chapter 138: Tulak City
The faces of the n are in total and absolute fear. I look down at his severed arm and see that its cleanly cut from my wing swipe. I look back and they imdiately fall too their knees. "Pl-please... Don't ki-kill us..." The weakest of the group is the first to start begging. I wonder how n like these guys live long enough to act in such despicable ways. I slowly draw my sword and one of them squeals in fear like a little toddler.
I start making an approach, but the armless one holds up his other good arm and points at . "YOUR AN ANGEL!!! ITS FORBIDDEN FOR YOU TO TAKE MORTALS LIVES!!! THE CHURCH HAS PREACHED THIS FOR CENTURIES!!!" He looks at as if he's won.
I crack a smile and his disappears. "Well, I'm still half human." His face twists in fear. The worst creature to ever breathe are humans. I dash forward and cut his head off. I see the other two and the weakest one that started begging has wet his pants. "Have so dignity before you die." I wear a frown as I say that. This isn't fun at all.
I dash forward and kill both of them with my wings. I look at the ground and see their blood pooling. This is cleaner then most of my battles. I toggle my wings off and turn back to my sister. She looks at my blood stained chest and runs to the side of the road to dry heave since she has nothing in her stomach. I just stand still waiting for her to return. These guys wasted their lives and they have no one to bla but themselves.
Hailey leans back up from dry heaving and looks at with slight disgust. "Jesus Cera... Show so humanity for fuck sake..." I roll my eyes at her words. She must have never killed an NPC before. Its like killing another human so I can see how its rough on her.
She walks back up to and looks at the dead bodies. "You know taking their gear and selling it will net you a nice profit Hailey. I suggest taking them." She looks at mortified. Fine, if you don't want it I'll take them. I loot only the valuables on these guys and put them in my inventory. I'll get a few gold pieces for the state the gear is in.
I start walking forward and Hailey follows. I look at the three guys horses and now they are ownerless. Horses go for way more then their shitty gear. I grab their tassels and begin walking them with us. Hailey even tries to get on one, but is denied by the system since she isn't the horses owner and doesn't et the level requirents.
She walks up to my side and stares at . Most likely wanting an explanation for what that was all about. "I wasn't going to let them take you Hailey. They weren't going to leave without a fight." She looks down to the ground. Most likely thinking of sothing to say. "Next ti I wont be there to save you." I watch her lift her head fast and look at in slight fear.
She is going to have to get used to killing and not just monsters. NPC's cause problems too and they are the ones you have to worry about. Clever bastards most of the ti, these ones not so much. Typical of the adventurers guild. We get closer and closer to the city in view and now we are waiting in line to enter the city. I look at its na and its Tulak. After a few minutes we get in and I head to the stables right inside by the entrance.
I sell the three horses for 5 gold a piece. I give the 15 gold to Hailey and nod for her to go shopping. "Lets et by the airship loading area. I have so things to do and I don't want to drag you around with ." She slugs my chest and looks at with frustration. "Get a move on." She listens and turns around and heads to the comrcial district to shop.
I need to check my mail at the local church. I find it by the bank as usual and I enter it. I reequip my chest piece so I don't get kicked out. I walk over to the ssage departnt and see I have two new mail. Both are from Alia. I take the envelops out and open them. I read the one with the date closer to the ti I sent her mail.
"Its so good to hear from you son. I've heard many things about you from the churches announcents. I want to say thank you for checking in with and keeping up to date. I wont keep you from your journey any longer and make you read a lot. ~Love Mom"
I look at the next envelop and see that its a little fancier and has intricate designs on it. I open it and begin to read.
"The new king of Zenith, Jackson, has offered a noble spot in his country. I'll be granted land and servants. The ssage he sent even said he'll give funds to start growing my noble house and lands. I'm going to accept and beco a Countess. I know you had sothing to do with this and I thank you for it. The kids here will now have a much better place to grow up. Please write back to soon. ~Love Mom"
So Jackson did it, he is really making my ga mother a noble in his country. Way to keep close, and I did suggest it. I didn't think he would go through with it. Good on him for making eat my words. I should write back to her and make sure she understands I'm doing just fine. Its been awhile since I sent her anything.
"I'm glad to hear that mom. I was in the capital talking to Jackson awhile back. Before he was king he was the baron of blue grass city. I did a mission for him and I completed it without any problems. I've had good relations with him every since, he is one of the few who knows my identity. I don't know the next ti I'll be in Zenith, but when I am I'll be sure to stop by. I have important things to take care of so its going to be awhile. Once I'm done with all the work I have I'll co by. ~Love Your Son"
I fold up the letter and place it in the delivery slot. I input where its supposed to go and who is getting it and I click send. It disappears in a ray of light and I'm now done in the church. I exit and head to the bank right by it. I enter and notice there are no lines. I walk up to a teller and see the typical bank teller smile. "Na is Slayer Zern. I'd like to withdraw all funds in my account." The lady nods her head and checks my credentials with magic.
She then looks at my account balance and goes pale. "Are you sure you wish to withdraw 240 gold coins..." I nod my head yes and she heads into the back where the vault is. I patiently wait for her to return and when she does she has 4 filled pouches of gold. She puts them in from of and I take them. "Have a nice day sir..." She looks distraught that I took out that much money. However, its not her responsibility to take care of the funds.
I walk out of the bank and place the pouches of gold into my inventory. I should sell the gear I got from those guys. I make my way to the comrcial district and see an armor shop. I enter it and see a balding man at the front desk. "How can I help you young man?" He gives an excited voice and I walk up him.
I take the only valuable things I got from those guys and place them on the desk. "I'd like to sell these. I'll take whatever you offer for them." I'm telling the truth. I just want them out of my inventory. Hailey is getting whatever gold cos from these.
He adjusts his glasses and inspects the quality. "I'll give you 5 gold for everything." I nod my head and he pulls out the gold from under the counter. I take them from his hand and place them in my inventory. I exit the store and now its ti to et Hailey at the airship. I make my way to the port for its loading and unloading and I don't see her yet.
She must still be shopping. I wait for 3 more hours and I finally see her walking over. I wave my hand and she walks over. "Sorry I took so long. I wanted to get the things I needed to be comfortable. I still have 8 gold left." She spent 7 gold on non-combat clothes. Talk about wasting money. That's just how she is and who am I to complain, its not my money.
I take out the five gold and give it to her. "It costs 2 gold for a comrcial ticket. 8 for a first class. I'll let you decide which one you want." She looks at with sadness. "This isn't going to be the last ti we see each other. When the players find a way to communicate after they return I'll contact everyone." She nods her head and takes a seat next to . There is still ti so she probably wants to talk about sothing.
