I wonder what would be the authors take on this type of story writing .
I mean it's very common to include these types of quest in an other world adventure .
I already had a plan ready with me to appoint some slaves to work for me but for free this time .
I will bust the ring . And leave like a cool person . Then someone will come behind me and be like .
" Can I come with you please I have lost my home and everything I have nowhere to go "
I will decline with a very harsh tone .
Then she will plead while I state my conditions. She will agree and I will have one more helping hand by my side .
It should be someone proficient with combat . As always beautiful . And of she should be somewhat lu... Ahhhh .
" Get these evil thoughts out of your head " .
A chop place perfectly between the center in the head .
McElroy: Pay attention to the plan I prepared.
The auction for slaves will be held at 7 pm the peak of the festival . We will infiltrate at 6.25 pm as we just need to save the slaves and the burn it to the ground .
Jay :
Do you think this murder is fair .
McElroy :
We are dealing with slave traders , and a smuggling ring.
Besides what do you think when we killed a cave full of bandits .
If you consider murdering humans to be only fair then what about when demons were involved .
What about the dragons who attacked the village .
I was being overwhelmed by the number of examples .
Jay :
Then what do you think about it.
McElroy:
I don't . This world is with the one . Where nothing makes sense until it does . But does it even make sense .
What is magic ?
Why do you grow stronger with everything you kill .
How do you manipulate the tablet .
Maybe it is some plan for something much bigger than both of us . Like a achievement someone wants us to get . Through hardship .
Does calling a human God make him a god .
Jay : Yes ye yes I get it . I do acknowledge what you mean .
McElroy : (Cold eyes ) Do you .
Thus we had reached an impasse .
Though it had left much to be discussed.
It was now 6.15 pm we entered the tavern . The bartender was serving drinks when he asked us what would we like.
Viva :
Something that would meet my interest . Umm maybe perhaps an pint of Ambrosia .
Bartender :
Just head to the other seats we'll bring the Ambrosia.
He pointed towards the backdoor . As we entered the backdoor . There was flight of stairs. Beneath was like another world .
Beneath was a underground market place much larger than the entire town .
The vendors were also selling some pretty expensive lot .
Vendor :
Hey hey take a look we have some good loot . Skins of extinct species. Daggers coated with unremoval and untraceable poison .
What about a book of alchemy of a renowned magician . Or
Maybe a scroll to form a contract with otherworldly beast .
Vendor :
Here take a look at our latest invention the 9 shot crossbow . Just load once
and fire once or in a succession. Released of repeated loading from single crossbow .
When I think about bows it gives me some nostalgia . I learnt archery to hunt beast or atleast tried to .
When I had a simple bow . I was weak . I couldn't even pull the string of the bow let alone shoot . After a few levels I became strong and filled with hope that I could now use it .
And I pulled the string and it broke .
I used stronger bows that i could withstand . But then I realised that when I used projectiles made of mana . I don't have to aim precisely .
I could just summon multiple small projectiles and throw them .
From then I don't use bows . .
Vendor :
This here is a jacket with enhanced protection that when once wore will enhance your vitality.
I saw that jacket . This was not a jacket but a parasite named( Ginor )
I ençountered it before during Fort Bronx.
I just felt the need to burn it to ashes . But we had to follow some plans .
We finally entered the area of slave auction .
Many rich bidders all wearing masks .
just waiting to get their hands on the merchandise .
But we weren't here to buy we were here to wreck . We first located the slaves . There were all types of beasts , humans etc .
The elves were all either very young in age or were banished . Filled with eyes of despair and with their mana blocked they were helpless .
But their eyes were of despair . Waiting to die .
Proud elves reduced to nothing . Slave meant to be kept as pets had a collar ok them . Keeping them under control in a somewhat non emotional state .
As always we acted the part of hero .
But how do you recsue them. Hmm .
Remember the left over dynamite that we had we attached a long fuse to it and we just have to wait for the signal .
Tick Tick Tick Boom . The tavern exploded to bits . There was no sign of the tavern and the normal exit was blocked everyone panicked as there was no way to return now .
Now the steel cages . Should we melt them with magic or cut them apart .
No break them apart . I reached a level where I could break normal metals just with tiny bit of strength.
Now cages crushed to bits . We asked them to follow us . But they didn't even responded to anything .
I broke one of the collars and they died .
McElroy : Don't brute force it . There is another way .
The slave trader was extremely surrounded with very heavily armored guards . But does Armor matter . I touched the Armor to crush it and failed . Yes it does matter .
The guard noticed .
Guard : ( Highly intimidating)
What do you want kid !!! .
McElroy: (Heavily affected )
(Flinched )
Jay : ( Affected ) Nnn nothing .
Viva : Useless .
Came a flying kick from the sky . It knocked the heavily armored foe down .
Slave trader :
What do you want with me .
Jay :
I want you to free the slaves .
He hurried and threw a key at me which I caught with 2 fingers .
Slave trader :
Do what you want leave me alone .
Just for a few slaves I wouldn't even bat an eye .
Jay :
So you have more slaves . Where are they .
Slave trader:
Why are you asking me you should know . ' The Slaves Island '
Jay : The Slaves Island . Where is it .
Slave trader : (spits on the ground )
Even if you where is it you wouldn't even be able to enter or escape it .
Jay : Why , can't we ?
Trader :
Because it is protected by the blessing of a God that prevents one from entering and leaving .
Hahahahahah .
The Trader tried to leave . This matter was resolved peacefully. With the collars removed . It was a happy end .
Until the blocked end opened and those masked mercenaries stormed inside cornering everyone .
Mercenary : Round everyone up .
We were surrounded by mercenary . I raised my sword while McElroy readied his attacks as well .
Captain :
Ah you must be Mr phoenix's subordinate. We were informed about you . Please leave the rest to us .
We left the tavern or rather forced out .
Quest completed
Rewards have been kept in the inventory.
Phoenix: Oh You're done already good work .
Phoenix arrived in the scene . Even when the festival was in full swing .
Jay :
Answer me Phoenix what are those cultist doing here .
Phoenix: (Confused)
Cultist ? They aren't cultist they are part of the group that I'm involved in.
Jay :
So you do blood sacrifices , and other disgusting things you heretic .
Phoenix : (Still Confused )
Heretic? , blood sacrifices? . What are you talking about.
Jay : (confused , )
You are a part of a cult right ?
Phoenix : ,(confused )
Cult ? what cult . I didn't join a cult .
Jay :
So these men don't belong to a cult .
It seems that I had misunderstood
Phoenix :
These are my people who I work alongside with in my organization
As there was a huge commotion bystanders came to look . With the tavern exploding to bits .
Jay :
These same ones I saw at a Dukes mansion .
Phoenix :
You mean Thesaurus.
Jay :
Well yeah .
Phoenix : (So that's why he disappeared ) Inner mind
He kept his hand on my shoulder and said .
" It seems we have a lot to talk about "
Another one of the member which had a complete yellow mask whispered something in Phoenix's ears .
Phoenix : ( Shocked ) What do you mean . Whose orders are these . Ar's ... ok . I'll get it done
Phoenix :
Prepare for defense before anyone gets hurt .
McElroy : Is something wrong ?
Phoenix :
WRONG so many things are going wrong at once I am certainly shocked .
It's like someone planned this
Phoenix :
Please assist me once more . I beg you .
New Quest :
Survive the ' Parade of a hundred demons '
Rewards : Depends on performance.
