Chereads / System of a Wendigo / Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Trouble

Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Trouble

They got closer to the city square, more people were walking around there, there wasn't much room for movement. A woman in fine silks bumped into them harshly "My clothes have been dirty!" she shrieked as if she fell in the mud. "You'll have to buy me new clothes" she hollered at Dyllis and Tobca.

"This is why I hate dumb humans like you. Babe doesn't give this awful human any time of day. People like her always end up dying quickly" Tobca said out loud to Dyllis, the wendigo gripped Tobca hand tightly in a death grip, the water fae wince slightly.

Dyllis was deep in thought 'Such a cliche, this is just one cliche. Hey God of this world can we not have too many cliches like this' Before she could continue ranting to the creator Tobca snapped her out of her thoughts. Noticing she was squeezing Tobca hand too tightly, she loosens her grip on the water fae.

Dyllis looked to the women that were causing a scene and scrunch up her face 'It's people like her that make the world harder to live in.' She thought 'If this servant decides to keep on bugging us with trivial manners I might turn her in to supper, noble or not I am gonna eat good'

She looked towards Tobca direction and pulled her along away from the noblewomen that were throwing a temper tantrum about having touched something filthy. Dyllis couldn't kill her now cause one that would be overreacting and the fact some so many people could get caught in the crossfire.

'The fact that this is a city there must be many strong Humans or Demi-humans floating around some are probably still in hiding' Dyllis thought logically that there will be extremely strong humans or other similar beings that live here. They had to be careful or they, correction Tobca will lose her life. Dyllis loved Tobca like the trillions of stars at night which shine ever so beautifully.

Looking around she spotted a small sign that says "Sea Horse Guild" the wendigo tugged at Tobca once more leading her to the small building, entering they see it to be quite active, a group of people that are in an argument, another group was chugging down beer celebrating a success hunt maybe? People would walk past Dyllis and Tobca with a quest in hand.

Tobca and Dyllis walked over to the bulletin board that was filled to the brim with quests, they all had rankings on the paper and descriptions of what they are supposed to do. Dyllis pulled out her book "Tobca can you be a sweetheart and get us a room for a few nights to stay?" the book said in a voice devoid of emotions.

"Sure Dyllis, I'll be right back then" Tobca gave dyllis hand a light squeeze before letting go and walking off to the sectary counter. Looking over the papers there was a wanted poster that was ranked D. She took it off the board and read the contents.

'Lucia Violetta is a woman to be in the early twenties that has been stealing food from caravans on a large scale. She is known to be pretty fast, giving D rank guards a run for their money. Reward Money: 10 Slivers.

Smiling to herself as she was about to turn around she bumped into another adventure causing her hood to fall off showing her Mask of Beautys that was currently active into a sorrowful beauty, Dyllis messy blue hair was in a messy bun. The other woman was about to cuss Dyllis out like a sailor when her eyes landed on the fallen over Dyllis who eyes looked watery.

The other woman was flabbergasted "Be careful next time miss" she said before helping up the fallen Dyllis, Dyllis nodded her head and accepted her hand to get back up from the floor. The wendigo moved her right hand to her chin before moving it forward down, saying "Thank you"

The woman smiled at her before speaking once more "Your welcome miss" with that the female adventure left. Dyllis pulled her hood back over her head before anyone else saw her 'face' Looking around she spotted Tobca not too far away making her way towards her.

Dyllis wonder if Tobca saw what just happen but throw the thought aside to meet up with her, Dyllis hugged the older female before pulling back. Tobca smiled at the cannibal but her hood covered her gorgeous smile "What was that all about back there?" she couldn't help but ask the cannibal.

Dyllis pulled out her book and wrote a thing down "The lady bumped into me and told me to be more careful next time then helped me up" the book spoke, Tobca nodded understanding before grabbing Dyllis hand and leading them down a staircase.

The stairs were very steep as they walked down, the good news is that it's wide enough for the two of them to walk down "Room 32 is ours Dyllis so keep an eye out" Tobca said as they descended the stairs, they walked to the first platform and looked at a sign that says '1-10' so they continue on their journey downwards till they made it to another platform that says 11-20. They once again continue walking down the steep stairs reaching the third platform 21-32.

They walked into the long Hallway, it took them a good ten minutes to get to their door, cobblestone walls on each side and Blackstone flooring and ceiling. A few paintings decorated the walls, the hallway is wide enough to fit five people across. Tobca grabs a wooden slab out of her cloak and then tap it onto the door once. The door started shaking before sliding open revealing a one-bedroom with another entrance that had a towel covering it.

Entering the room they both headed to the bed tired from their journey, riding an elephant ain't as comfy as it sounds nor is sleeping on the ground. The door shakes again and closed, keeping others out. Dyllis crawled into bed first taking off her mask and cloak, She let her blue hair free from the bun, it reached her shoulders. She was the first to fall asleep while Tobca cuddled up next to her to join her in the slumber.

Dyllis open her eyes only to find herself in the darkroom with a tea set as usual but this time the Ai was nowhere in sight. She plants herself down at the table like usual and pours herself some tea as she opened her stats window.

Dyllis eyes widen in surprise "Holy shit I almost have 9,000 points! Soon I can upgrade this shitty system" she exclaimed out loud, echoes went throughout the space around. The Large Windows still open with all different kinds of system names in their own respective category. Message pop up in front of Dyllis eyes.

'Side quest make and give a harp to Tobca, Rewards: 30+ love points for Tobca, 400 system points, 3 golden coins' Dyllis eyes went wide at the side quest, this was the first time the system actually was rewarding money to her this made her ecstatic. A disgusting smile appears on her face making her look like the grinch as she rubs her hands, The best part was the system points because then she can upgrade her system and get her exp to reduce for levelling up.

A chime of an old grandfather clock rang from some unknown place making the surroundings disappear before her eyes. When she opened her eyes once more she saw the cobblestone room walls in the darkroom, she looked over to Tobca who was fast asleep with her arms wrap around Dyllis waist 'She looks so peaceful' she thought as she slowly removes the arms off of her to sneak upstairs to get the mission accepted.

In another part of a city, a noblewoman was throwing and breaking vases in her house, This noblewoman's father watched in dismay as his princeless vases got shattered by his spoiled daughter. His wife walked into the room with a stern look on her face not matching her cute assets.

"Lucia dear what's wrong?" she asked out of worry about her daughter behaver "There's this rude wrench that purposely bumped into me and got my new dress ruined," She said angrily. The mother of this girl furrow her brows "Rude who would be rude to my daughter? What did this individual that offended you look like" She asked in a scary calm tone?

The Husband shiver in the background clearly afraid of his wife and daughter even though he is upset by his precious vases being broken he wouldn't dare to speak up. Lucia chucked a vase near her father's head before replying to her mother "That's the thing her face is covered up, She was wearing a red cloak and she was with her lover that was in a blue cloak" The older woman frowned at this.

The older woman becken for her husband to come and which he did like an obedient dog "Investigate this person for our daughter now alright Darling" the wife said with a creepy smile "Yes Senia, I will get onto to it right away" the husband said shakily before leaving the presence of both females to make a call.
