Chapter 10 - He Will Be Your Escort

"Master Vel , I've one problem."

Vel who was walking away from me stopped and looked at me , luckily he didn't looked furious which meant that buttering him up worked.

"And what would that be? If it's about this village then I can assign you another village , but your talent should be put to work."

'I see , so using magic here is a talent? If that's so... then maybe I can... yeah I can develop this village faster if I use 'that' plan.'

"Master Vel , it isn't about the village. I just wanted you and your squad here so that they can regain their power."

'I hope this works.'

"Also we may face those monsters on our way , if your servants aren't well-rested chances are we will get wiped out."

Right after hearing the word 'servants' I saw a smile on his face , after exchanging some words with him and seeing how he behaved I knew that Vel liked to be above everyone. He was born special as a half-elf which is why he considered himself better than other.

'Looks like he will fall for it.'

Just as I thought of that one of the hoods spoke out ,

"Master Vel , we all are fine. Just give us order and we will follow you without any questions asked."

Seeing him speaking out , all the other hoods followed him.

"Yes master , we aren't that weak."

"Just bring those Wrils bastard , we will kill all of them."

'So those monsters are known as 'Wril' , I need to collect as much information as possible from these conversations."

"Yeah , nobody shall stand in master's way."

'These b*stards , let me just complete this quest after that I'll follow you to the end of the world if you want.'

Hearing their responses Vel calmed them down and said ,

"Alright alright , I get it. Hey , you heard that? My 'servants' aren't tired by that small fight , these are black hoods members you're talking about. We train everyday without missing a single day , even on their breaks the members have to train hard."

"O-Oh I see."

I looked around and couldn't see a single member who wasn't fat , of course excluding Vel as he was still young.

'Are these fata*s member supposed to be trained hard?'

"Actually Master Vel , I wanted to visit my parents before I leave and I come from a village far way from this."

"I see , then why don't you say your farewell when we travel towards the capital."

"The village is opposite of the travel route , so..."

"How much time will you need to get to your village?"

"3 hours to reach there and 3 hours to return back so it'll take about 6 hours , if you can let me go then I'll be grateful."

Vel thought for few seconds and just as he was about to tell his decision I interrupted.

"I know that All-Powerful Master Vel will make the right decision. , if you want to keep an eye on me then you can assign me a hood. But I need to meet my parents before going to the capital."

'Please , don't assign me any member.'

"Ahem , I see. We shall wait here for 6 hours then and if you don't return back in that time then you'll see a bounty on your head next day."

Seeing how Vel easily gave me permission to leave the fatty whose name was Houk said in low voice ,

"But master , shouldn't we assign someone to watch over him? Even if he's not that powerful there's still a possibility he'll try to escape. And the bounties these days aren't that succesful out of 100 bounties only 6-7 get completed."

I wasn't close enough but I could hear that they were against leaving me alone.

"Yes master , I too think the same as Houk. If that kid knows the truth of bounty I think he'll take our warning lightly and just escape."

'Aah what are these fatties discussing?'

The discussion finally came to an end and this time Vel didn't seem angry , infact he had a smile on his face.

"So we've decided that you..."

He didn't say anything further and kept looking at me.

"This is the part where you tell me your name."

"O-Oh sorry , my name is..."

'Should I tell my real name? Well it doesn't matter anyways.'

"Zafrix"

"That's the first time I heard a name like that anyways , we've decided that you , Zafrix will be escorted by one of the members. Remember that this is for your safety and nothing else."

Saying that I could see Vel winking in Houk's direction.

'He is making it so obvious , why do these even follow him? He's the kind of person who'll use rock to start the fire when there's a lighter besides him. Hah.'

"Who'll be the one escorting me?"

"Yes , it'll be Lare. He's one of our youngest member, he'll be the one to escort you. Wrils might attacks you so Lare here will protect you against their attacks , he's good at using shields so I'm sure you won't get hurt."

Hearing Vel's words Houk also started praising Lare.

"Indeed , Junior Lare is outstanding at using shields. He might just become the youngest senior in black hoods if he keeps up like this."

"Then Lare get ready to depart go get your shields from our camp and meet Zafrix here in 10 minutes."

Lare finally showed his face and said ,

"Yes master."

He was one of the exceptions of this fata*s group , a young boy with brown hair and green eyes. After that conversation it became hard for me to complete the daily quest.

'My plan was to use the reason of metting my parents and hide in the village , but that f*cking Houk has now left me no option now.'

Just then an impossible idea came into my mind ,

'Can system help me with this? There's only one way to find. Hey system , help me.'

But nothing happened not a single message popped before me.

'In the end I'll have to attack Lare. Wasn't their some kind of cooldown on my spell?'

"If I remember correctly , I got a new spell just as I died."

'Hey system , show all spells.'

'I need to learn how to use this system quickly , this system is the only advantage I've and I'm going to swipe my V-Card with it's help. Hehehe.'

'What is that last spell? Why is it showing question marks? Anyways , so I got 'Bolt' last time. I've seen Lightning attribute mages using this move which was why I was able to imagine the spell last time.'

Lightning attribute was one of the most rare attribute which was why I was curious about how powerful the mages were. After searching it on internet I was left in awe , the mages moved at a speed that felt unachievable. Their attacks destroyed the enemies within few seconds , and now that's the attribute I had.

'If I can obtain all the attributes wouldn't I be the strongest mage in the whole world?'

That's when I noticed the water near the growing crops in the farm.

'It can't be as easy as the first time right?'

With the intention to acquire water attribute I went ahead and dipped both of my hands in the muddy water , few seconds passed and I didn't see any message.

'Shouldn't a message pop up? Did I do something different last time?'

Seeing that I couldn't obtain water attribute I gave up and decided to return to the meeting point. On my way there I only thought about why I didn't obtain water attribute.

'Doesn't my body contain water? I should've water attribute already by that logic. Last time the electricity flowed inside me , ah that must be the difference. Maybe I should just inject some water in my veins , wait won't I die by that?'

"F*ck it , let's just go to the capital for now."

'Feels good to swear when my parents aren't around , kind of lonely too.'
