Two dozen elite knights from the city of Aquos entered the hall where the reception was taking place. In the middle of this formation was my father. In his arms he carried two rather large boxes of dark and light wood. Standing in the center of the room and looking at me, my father began to speak ...
- Today, on the day when my son is fourteen years old, I will give him what has passed in our family from generation to generation! The one-handed sword that I got from my father, and to him from his father! - Having said these words, with one hand he opened one of the wooden boxes of dark color. Inside were anthracite sheaths, in which there was a short sword, the length of which did not exceed seventy centimeters. This sword hung in his office. Opening the lid, he continued to speak ...
- This sword was inherited from my father, but I never once used it ... This weapon proudly bears its name "Devourer"! Today I give it to you, my son. Come and get it.
Listening to my father, I slowly went up to him and took the scabbard with the sword inside. Having drawn a short sword, I immediately felt the dark energy seething in the purple stone that was inlaid in the sword. Raising it to the level of my eyes, I examined the blade. The same anthracite as the scabbard. It was perfect, it did not have a single scratch or any dents from blows, it feels like it was forged only yesterday, and today my father decided to give it to me.
When I took the sword, one of the boxes that my father held was taken by his subordinate. Looking at me and seeing how enthusiastically I look at the anthracite blade, he pulled me out of his thoughts, continuing to speak.
- My son, since you are the one who wields dual swords, I decided to support your undertaking! This blade was made by the best blacksmith in the whole Western Continent! Nikon Gray - Having said this, all those present were shocked, and the father, paying no attention to them, continued to speak.
- This blade was made of the highest quality materials that I obtained sixteen years ago in the Eastern Continent! I knew that sooner or later they would be useful to me . - Starting a tear, Edgar opened the second box, and there they lay, the sheath of a crystal white sword, with a gilded handle and a white crystal, which was inlaid in the guard. Raising the box a little, he hinted to me that I would take it, and as soon as I did, I felt how two powerful forces were fighting in me. Life energy is the Magic of Light, and Dark energy is the Magic of Darkness. Feeling this confrontation, I tried with all my might to restrain them, and after a minute struggle between the three parties, they calmed down. Having returned to normal, I immediately appreciated these swords to understand what it was.

"The Sword of Darkness and the Blade of Light, it is not surprising that I felt how they are fighting inside me. The eternal confrontation between Good and Evil, relevant even in this world ... "is the first thing that occurred to me after I saw the characteristics of these swords.
[ Master, both of these swords were forged from Adamantite, with this force, you can easily defeat the High Lich's army alone! ] - Added and , to my conclusions, comment Ain.
This is true, using these blades, I can calmly fight even with an army of one hundred thousand undead, but I simply do not want it ... If I start this fight, and if suddenly, I can defeat all three Lychees, absolutely all people will bear the burden of the Hero on me and the Savior. Although they already call me the Savior, until I proved it with my actions , this title is simple words .
Having admired the swords, I terribly wanted to check them, and when I thought of quietly falling down from this evening party, my father turned to me .
- Son, taking these blades, you become the rightful heir to the Rise family! - Having said this and giving the second box to his assistant, my father got up and looked into my eyes and asked . - Do you agree?
One single question brought me back from heaven to earth. I really want these swords, but I have other plans, I want to travel the world and gain a lot of strength, so that in the future, I could protect my family. If they drive me into the city and appoint me the captain of some knightly order, then in my life I will not be able to do this . There was a heavy silence in the hall, no one dared to utter words, the eyes of all those present focused on me, they were waiting for my decision ... No, they were not waiting for him, they all already understood that I just couldn't refuse, but what I said a second later, breaking the deathly silence, plunged everyone into shock .
- I'm not sure. - I said, looking my father directly in the eye. The people who expected me to agree were shocked, glancing briefly at their family, which was standing behind my father, I saw what I expected .
Emilia stood behind his hand, Roxy is not fully understanding what was happening, he played up Amy Lee , and my mother looked at me with tears in his eyes. Father, on the other hand, looked at me as before, absolutely seriously, when he heard my answer, not a single muscle in his face flinched.
- My son, answer what you mean. - My father said, watching as I return both swords to the scabbard.
Taking both swords, I handed them to my father and began to tell the reason. - I want to explore the world, I want to see its beauty with my own eyes, I long for life as I want." Becoming an Adventurer, seeing hundreds of different places, visiting many cities, villages and countries, that's what I want! - Lying right into his eyes, I held the scabbard with the swords back to my father, taking the "Devour ", he clenched my fist leaving me the sword of light.
- This is a gift that I give for my son's birthday, he will stay with you, even if you think you are not worthy of him. - Having said this, he took a black wooden box and put the anthracite sword inside. - For today, I declare the evening over, thanks to everyone who visited it. - Having said this, father with a box in his hands and accompanied by knights left the room. I quickly examined my family, and making sure that the shadow warriors were still in their own shadows , following his example, also quickly retreated from the hall and headed to his room . P yeshivas not linger, I collected things bought on their money and creating Gate, one last look at my personal room in the palace.
Coming out on the other side of the gate, I ended up in the city of Zover, and quickly changing into the clothes that I had reserved for this occasion, I went to one of the hotels. Entering the hotel, I turned to the girl who was standing at the counter.
- Excuse me, can I rent a room for one person? - I asked
- Good evening, a room with one bed, and for one night , will cost five silver coins. "This is the best hotel in Zover, which has a bathtub. - Due to the fact that I have accumulated a decent fortune, I could afford such expenses.
Having paid five silver coins, they led me to a room on the third floor. Entering the room, I took off the hood that I put on so that no one recognized me and fell on the bed. I started thinking about what is happening in the palace, what my sisters are doing and how my mother feels, I left without even saying goodbye, because I didn't want to stay there until I accept the legacy of my family, I will not be an aristocrat , the weight of the words I said in that room was too high.
"Now Men need to get to Krivan, and after waiting for a year, create a guild, but for now I will live on the money that I was able to earn, it will not be difficult, but what to do in the ce this time?" - Until I reach adulthood , I can just hunt monsters, but the passage to the dungeon that I want to get into so badly is closed to me.
Having decided not to raise this topic yet, I took off my outerwear and went to the bathtub, since here she was in every room, albeit very small. Having taken a bath, I put on light clothes and went to bed, however, from the very moment I lay on the bed until dawn, I was unable to close my eyes . All due to the fact that I was thinking about my relatives, who are probably worrying about me now, I simply could not get these thoughts out of my head, because I did not even leave an elementary letter where I wrote that I was leaving.
Hungry, I got out of bed and looked out the window, it was just getting light, and I hope that it is at this time that breakfast is served in this hotel. Having packed my things and pulled the hood over my head, I went downstairs. There, I was met by a girl who checked in my room yesterday , greeting me, she invited me to go to the dining room to have breakfast.
After breakfast I left the hotel, deciding not to stay in the city of Zover, I left it and went south, the first place I want to visit is the city that is located on the border with the Demon Nation, the city of Krival.
The path to Krival from the city of Zover is three days, but if I go by carriage, I go on foot without using all my strength, so I will get there in seven to eight days.
