Walking along the streets of the city, Grant soon came to a stop in front of what looked like a small castle; well it was some kind of small castle with a giant sword symbol on top of it.
Seeing the sword, Poe realized that it was the warrior guild. Grant did not stop in front of the castle and instead walked straight ahead as if he did not see it and continued down the road.
Maybe the warrior's guild was a normal view for people in this city, Poe wondered as he ran towards Grant to catch up with him again.
After walking along with Grant for another 5 minutes of silence they made it to what Poe thought was Grants house.
The house was just a normal stone house… Well not that Poe expected anything different like a giant mansion or Grant being part of some rich merchants associate. No, no, not at all, Poe would never think as such.
"Tsk"
"Did you say something?"
Grant said as he looked towards Poe, who answered him in kind.
"No, it's just that I did not expect you to live in such a normal house, as you are a 3 star warrior after all."
Poe said as he looked towards Grant, who just gave him a weird look.
"Hunting monsters might sound like it pays a lot and risking your life and all that, but that is only for 6 star and above that is true. For people below that… The pay is not bad, but not good either. How many people can reach the 6 star rank and increases their lifespan? Well lifespan might not be an issue for elves, but we humans only live for 100 years normally. Reaching 6 star within that time is quite hard for most people."
Lifespan… Every 10 levels you would be able to improve towards a direction and from level 50 or 6 star rank you would be able to increase the lifespan instead of improving towards a direction. Some Epic and above classes even automatically increased your lifespan as you leveled up with the class.
For most humans reaching level 50 and increasing the lifespan was the ultimate goal, but some human improved towards other directions instead and grew stronger.
Thinking over this, Poe could not help but let out a sigh inwardly. Humans lifespan was really too short. Maybe the way they were created made them average in everything. Be it lifespan or stats.
Thinking this, Poe and Grant went into the house. From the looks of it, Grant was not the only one living in the house as there were what looked like apartments.
Walking up to one of the doors, Grant took out a key and opened the door before signaling for Poe to enter with him.
As they made their way into the house, Poe started to observe his surroundings. An empty room with things like armor and weapons like swords and axes here and there spread out before Poe, grant was indeed a warrior…
After having entered the house, Grant left Poe behind as he entered a room looking for something, as he soon came back with brand new clothes fitting Poe. Thought for some reason their colors were quite weird. There was a shirt that was blue, underwear and a pair of blue pants with some socks. From what Poe saw, they were all quite high quality.
"Just take off the clothes you have on. You can use my bath to clean yourself up. It is this way."
Grant who came with the splendid new clothes said to Poe as he showed him towards the bathroom, Poe just followed whatever Grant said at this moment like an obedient pet following its owner.
Coming to the bathroom, Poe was quite shocked as the bathroom was luxurious compared to everything else in the house. Maybe the only thing Grant did at home was relaxing in the bath and sleeping?
Coming to this conclusion, Poe also thought that Grants bed should be luxurious as well.
A bath was normally powered by a water magic stone made by a water mage and a fire magic stone made by a fire mage. This was to heat up the water made by the water magic stone made.
Therefore, after Grant activated the water magic stone until the bath filled up to the brim. After this, he activated the fire magic stone to heat up the water.
Everything made ready, Grant signaled for Poe to enter the bath before leaving the room.
Poe who saw all of this looked at the magic stones in wonder for a little while, he had read about elemental magic stones made by their respective elemental mages. An example on this would be a fire mage being able to make a fire magic stone that could start a fire or heat up water. Another would be a light mage that could make a light magic stone that would emit light.
Light magic stones were used everywhere. To light up cities or help guilds explore dungeons.
Thinking this, Poe stripped before entering the bath, Poe felt quite lucky as he discovered that Grant had provided him with soap to clean himself as well.
After cleaning himself, Poe exited the bath just to discover his old clothes were gone and instead the new blue pants, socks, underwear and shirt were there. The only thing left from his belongings were his half-destroyed bag and the bat kings robe.
Putting on the new clothes, Poe looked quite blue… After putting on the black bat king robe, Poe looked a lot better than before and not 100 % blue…
Coming out of the bathroom, Poe went to greet Grant who was waiting for him at the living room of the house.
"Are you really 15? You look more as if you are 13 or so… And your looks lean more towards a girl with how skinny and small you are…"
Was what Grant said to him as soon as he came into the living room.
Poe looked quite shocked and it looked like his pride as a man had taken a blow…
"No worries it's not that it is hard to see that you are a man. You actually look quite handsome."
Grant said trying to put the sad Poe in a better mood. What surprised him was that it seemed to work somehow… Poe really was simple…
