after asking for several directions we headed towards the shopping area
It is the second best protected place in the camp, just below the queen's tent in this place it is not only cared for by the soldiers of the kingdom, also several guilds provide the service of guards
It turns out to be quite an experience to be in this place
What surprises me the most is the variety of stores in this area and there is always a choice when entering the main street, the large stores are lined up on the street, there is a security fence that prevents us from continuing on our way with a sign in letters black and big
STOP
a guard tells us "stop it is forbidden to enter this area until further notice" my first thought is that there is a murder, a robbery, attempted kidnapping, or something even uglier and as we are not in a hurry to buy we move to one side alone we would wait a moment
After 10 minutes of waiting, two carriages came out of the fence, these carriages had emblems with the name "WOLVES" on the sides as they had no relationship with us and as we did not know the emblems, we completely ignored them as they left this area
at the moment the guards leave they raise their fence and the guards begin to withdraw from the place on our part we wait for them to leave and then we continue with our walking until we reach the first stop, our first clothing store
only that before we entered an employee of the store stops us "My apologies sir, it is forbidden to go with this type of clothes, store regulations" I do not understand that type of logic one needs to wear a certain label to buy clothes, but how can I have that label if they don't let me buy the clothes I need
because ???
The bad thing was that not only that store did not let us enter several stores later on, they also prevented it from happening until we reached a place almost outside the shopping area, that place was very neglected, mainly there was garbage and it smelled very ugly, its sign said " Brown house "
Outside the Brown store there was a young girl trying to attract customers but people avoid her like she suffers from leprosy, stinks or something like that.
When I approach the women, the young woman smiles at us, her face looked very sad, she still had spots of some tears on her face, but she showed us a big smile and said "good afternoon, young man, would you like to come to our store, we have a very wide variety in fabrics, we can make clothes that you like, we make dresses for women and suits for men or some dress of your imagination "before the presentation is over I tell the women" find out, we will buy here "
I told them that not because of the state of the store or because I sympathize with the cause of the young woman
It was that damn smell that I could not bear it, when entering the store I release a breath of relief my respects to the young woman who had and has to endure those kinds of places
Upon entering, the young woman runs to the counter and shouts "customer we have a customer" immediately three women come out showing a smile and one of the ladies tells us "good afternoon gentlemen, would you like to see a special model or would you prefer something more personal?" the women behind me "are all hers"
at this point I accept my mistake again, women and dresses a bad, very bad combination, the place was a complete chaos they took them to take their measurements and try on some dresses
they left us in the waiting room
in that place we grew old, we turned to stone, then we turned to dust and were reborn and the women did not arrive
The first one who had the dignity to arrive was the girl who invited us to enter, she tells us "Sir, would you like to have some coffee or wine, they are just choosing her first dress"
a little more and my eyes fall when I hear what the girl tells me, Jesus bless her first dress I take the opportunity to get out of here "would you mind showing me some clothes for us"
The young woman agreed she hit Tony who had fallen asleep a couple of times, the young woman took us to some changing rooms for men then she ran for the area manager
the lady who arrives tells us "good afternoon my name is Dana and I will be her dressmaker now she could remove the sheet from her so that she can make some measurements"
the shame I had when Dana took my waist measurements, while my dick was stunging one of her thighs, then I just narrowly and I slap her with my dick, that was when bending over to measure the length of my legs
when things got more interesting the owner of the place caught her with my cock in her hands she was ready to devour her
*COF cof *
after making some noises the lady says "Dana can you help the other young man please I need to consult several things with the man" Dana just lowers her head and runs away, but her gaze told me everything, this is not over
The lady coughs two more times (cough, cough) and says "my name is Victoria Brown, designer of the Brown house" while I try to cover my erection with an uncomfortable smile I tell her "my name is Neo, how can I help you"
the lady sits on the side "Mr. Neo I will be honest with you the six ladies need various arrangements for them to have a real change, but your expense will be high, very high
but if you plan to enter the nobility at this time, you will only receive very cruel mockery from those bastards, you need to polish several things including this fashion, makeup, etiquette manners this will raise your spending even more if you like I can recommend several people for this
it all depends, if you want to do it or not "
what Mrs. Victoria says was right, but first we will go step by step "Mrs. Victoria how many coins do I have to spend right now" with a small uncomfortable smile the lady tells me "each one chose a 300 coin dress without talking about underwear and the bras "that caught my attention in this place there are underwear
but we will solve that later so I say to the lady "thank you for your concern Mrs. Victoria just give them what they want there is no problem with spending, I would also like to see the fabrics you have and could send me a cup of hot coffee" Mrs. Victoria shows me a smile before getting up and taking one last look at my cock before leaving
The hot coffee was brought by the young woman who had her red cheeks when she saw my erection, she just left the coffee and continued with her work, she also brought fabric after fabric I recognize some fabrics but others I had no idea that they existed, I selected some more comfortable fabrics, fresh, pretty and I tell them "I want my clothes in these colors"
They are dark tones mainly in wine, coffee and black they had some doubts in my choice having to confirm it before taking them
then they brought me clothes of those colors to see if it fits with my tastes and with certain adjustments I could finally be dressed in decent clothes
a burgundy tunic with black pants and black leather boots as an additional touch a small brown cape, Mrs. Victoria, like one of her, her assistants liked my outfit, her looks said it all
The bad thing that it felt very tight between the legs or it was just a matter of taste when leaving the dressing room Tony wears a complete suit for noblemen but when he sees me he asks me "Neo does not bother you if I dress like you, that outfit looks cooler "
I pat him on the shoulder as I lead him to the exit "whatever you want Tony I don't care, it's just a piece of clothes, for the moment he's wearing that friend, we have to go out to buy several things" my real reason just wanted to escape from this place at any rate. instead stretch your legs out a bit
🧛♂️-POV by LYCAN 🧛♂️
the bodies of those zombies fly everywhere those damn things never finish leaving, every time there are more and more I'm sick of those dead
This is our fourth time that we try to enter that village but the mercenaries cannot bear the pressure of killing and killing Zombies while avoiding that they surround us at any cost.
while my personal escorts help to push the lines forward one of my assistants yells at me "sir, sir, the squad is back" but his face was pale I didn't like that at all, I had a bad feeling
when I approach the place where the squad was resting, there was a werewolf lying or what was left of it
Without arms or legs, and half of his face was eaten, without asking anything, the squad leader began to tell me what happened "we arrived at the place they told us but there was nothing sir until the buildings and"
* PAM *
That was the body of the count that fell unconscious, oh but that damn one fainted very quickly because when I kept listening, the squad leader a void formed in my chest, but all that turned into anger, when I heard what they put in the walls of those warehouses as that damn one mocks his father, my hatred towards that damn son of a bitch, it went up another three levels
"That damn lyche listen, we will wait for these dead to go away to mine and obtain some profits for now it is time to return Retu ..." when he is ready to give the order to withdraw the head of the escorts tells me "My lord also the Mine is gone, it is empty, there is nothing "
* POM *
"quick quick the lord fainted, someone help him lord, it's time to go back, retreat retreat"
🧛♂️-END of LYCAN's POV 🧛♂️
When leaving the store with Tony, a group of guards were waiting for us several meters ahead, one of those guards began to shout "STOP" but we kept walking, it never crossed our minds, that the matter was with us or that they were especially waiting for us
the guards surround us and shout "I order them to stop" we stand still we had no idea what was happening, their leader tells us "Our lord accuses them of theft so they have to accompany us" we were surprised
What do you say ?
Tony turned white, then he approached me and his hands were shaking, for my part I was understanding some things so first I pat Tony on the shoulder to calm him down to jelly as he trembles
several of them looked to the side and tried to get together to prevent someone else from seeing what they were doing, so they asked "who is your lord?"
the guard seems offended with my question "what are you saying, idiot is your problem for not knowing this shield" pointing to the chest, it was an octagon with black edges inside it was red with the face of a wolf in black at its base it said "Wolves" I just shrug my shoulders and tell them "I don't know him, besides if he's not here it means he's lying"
the guard at the top of his lungs yells at me "YOU DARE TO ACCUSE THE WOLVES HOUSE OF LYING" he points to the two of us and looks at the other guards "take him away" I take him out the card they gave me as identification and he was just about to say that he was of had
but the leader yells at me "so you are trying to bribe" immediately afterwards, he hits my hand, throwing the card, it flies and falls on a black gelatinous mass, the card is left with the royal seal facing up, this image stops the guards and everyone comes back to see me and then to the card
The truth is, I do not know, nor do I want to know what that means, but the guard's face was deformed, little by little from anger he became worried, then anguish and finally terror when they were about to spread a voice comes from above us "He who moves dies" but there was no one upstairs thirty seconds later the first soldiers arrived
It was the complete opposite of these guards that when they saw the card thrown on that gelatinous mass, everyone was instantly enraged
a soldier took out a white sphere and asked "what's going on here, whose card is it?"
I raise my hand and explain to the soldier "it is mine but they accuse me of having stolen from their master" the soldier scolds me the moment I said those words "just answer what is asked"
I just nod my head, the soldier looks at the guards, smiles at them and asks his question "what are they doing here?" His question did not surprise me. I returned to see that gelatinous stain that stank like hell
then I looked at the guards who start to panic but contrary to my expectations their leader begins to laugh and his voice begins to change to a much more serious voice "he-heh heh stupid humans SAVE BARON" at the end of his prayer he screams and his head blows to pieces
I was shocked to see that scene, I did not understand anything of what was happening, only that a person only a few meters away from us had blown his head, but things do not end in just a few seconds the soldiers attacked that group of guards but they did not kill them they leave them unconscious
then they would check their bodies where only two had a skeleton tattooed on their back but they still took the whole group away, when they took the first guards away an old man with a long copper-colored tunic arrived at the place
the old man just goes to where the gelatinous stain is, raises his hands and wraps the dough in a sphere made of water and then takes out the perfectly clean card one of the soldiers grabs it and returns it to me saying "thank you for your contribution" to then retire
meanwhile the old man begins to walk between the alleys checking each one of them, the stench of the place left as if by magic, he did not understand anything of what was happening and obviously no one would explain to me
but one thing was for sure, that gelatinous mass was not there when we got to the store, it only appeared when the card fell on it
I went back to see Tony I wanted to confirm something "Tony when we got to this place you smelled something horrible" Tony just shakes his head in denial and says "Nothing did not smell anything" that was happening perhaps nobody smelled that
It was then that the voice of the old man is heard by our side "that thing had a concealment spell on it, this made common people unable to detect it, only some special beings of the races such as some beastmen and orcs have a better sense of smell
They can detect those things through their smell, for us magicians we can only detect them with some spells, that crap serves to keep people away from certain places, it also irritates all the beasts but its concealment spell was eliminated when the card fell on it
This card contains a special spell of the queen, which is activated only when it comes into contact with the dark spells, in this case those wastes, what's up, boy, you don't know the most basic information about dark spells. "Not only me, Tony also moved the head in denial
the old man tells us "come join me for a walk, when you smell something similar you tell me I'll find it" on our walk, we walk everywhere through the camp, looking for more strange smells, on the way, the old man explains the differences to us main between a magician and a warrior in his words "the intellect vs the force"
each warrior can develop three different aspects
strength
agility
endurance
These aspects have to be balanced if your path to follow is that of a warrior and with a magician these three aspects change totally
intellect
memory
telekinesis
meanwhile the old man explains to us "the latter is one of the requirements to be a master magician but that is very far for you two now what you have to do is first think that you want to be a farmer, a businessman, a warrior or a magician , that's his first big decision "
Suddenly I got a rotten smell having to cover my nose it was like decomposing bodies the old man raised his hands doing a wind spell
His hands shine in a green cloak, a moderate breeze of wind drives away the smell and begins his search throughout the area, minutes later the smell was completely eliminated
the old man had cleaned the entire area
As we continued with the search, we learned that he is a Rank 1 magician of the court in the service of the Queen and this is a special mission launched by the Ministry of Magic
When we finished registering the entire camp, we eliminated more than 10 spells very similar to the one in the store.
the old man took out a blue book with a thick paste "take it boy you earned it is the only thing I have with enough value at this moment, if you plan to become a magician this is very essential in your first steps" then I take out a bag of coins and gave it to Tony inside it had two gold 100 gold bills
just as the old man arrived, he left
while we run towards the shopping area Tony asks me "what kind of book is Neo" after reading its cover, I answer "I have no idea friend, I can only understand what mana says and the absorption of it"
our first stop was a storage goods store in that place I bought my first storage ring with the largest capacity of 5m³ at a cost of 10,000 gold coins it was a total disappointment to have it, but I had to do it, it was necessary for my fourth day
Tony refused to let me buy one for him, instead he asked me for a healing potion for his father and to help his father recover from the problem they have in his legs I bought him three potions each one of them had the cost of 1000 coins of gold
At first Tony wanted to pay for the potions by taking out his two 100 gold bills but then I keep them discreetly listening to the cost of him while he thanks me with his very red face
in this way our adventure between the stores had begun
