Chereads / Heathen, For The World / Chapter 10 - Rex And Alvis

Chapter 10 - Rex And Alvis

Alle had sent one of his men to inform the baron about what is going to happen, baroness is an old friend of Lucia so he was hoping that Baron would help him somehow. For a while now he has been trying to talk to Lucia but she had been sitting silently in the corner of the room after she woke up.

" Lucia says something," Alle said as he shook Lucia.

" Alle, I don't think that person is my son."

" What? But you said he was your son just yesterday. If I remember correctly he even greatly resembles your son."

" I don't know Alle, He is my son and He is not my son, I am always conflicted."

" You might just be overthinking it, let's talk about it what do you think is odd."

" He was never like this, war can not change my son this much. Also, he used to cling to me every time and talk about everything in his heart, but this person is too distant and hides many things. It's like he is trying to do it and is pretty bad at hiding his expressions. When I talk about our family, he always looks guilty and like a stranger to the past."

" You should talk about this with him, I will be there with you. But I have to say, I don't think he is not your son because he cares for you and does not want any harm to come to you. However, I will not deny your words as well, you are the mother and you know better." Alle gave his opinion trying to calm her.

Rex reached the building where the other people in town said the red salamander guild was. During all this time he had kept his ability active, he wanted to check the validity of this ability, whether or not they are truly what the voice had described. He reached the red salamander building, because of his eyes he could see some weird shining circle drawn in the air out of the guild.

[ They are protective magic circles.]

' What do they do?'

[ Nothing, These circles are only basic and are only for blocking mid-grade magic attacks.]

Without thinking more he entered the building, there were many people in the guild. Only a few were wearing Red salamander uniforms because the aura around them was not as bad as the ones who had attacked his house he didn't kill them. He went to the reception where a man was standing.

" I want to meet your leader."

" Excuse me, who are you, sir?"

" I am here to register with your guild."

" Sir, we handle the registration work, you can leave it to us. If you are qualified we will register you as soon as possible for a fixed monthly income as well as incentives."

" I want to meet you, leader, then only I will join your group."

One thing he came to know from the guards and Alle is that the Red salamander is always looking for talented people in combat. They were willing to hire anyone above C rank adventurer level. The receptionist thought for a while but had no other answer he could give just before he could say anything he felt chills on his body.

" Tell me where can I find your boss," Rex said in a low voice, only the receptionist heard it.

" Look, Sir–"

" I am asking nicely, I will kill you." Rex threatened as he grabbed the hand of the receptionist. The grip was too strong but for some reason, he could not shout and felt dizzy. " Will you tell me now?" Rex asked.

" Second floor." As soon as the receptionist replied, Rex was already on his way to the second floor leaving the receptionist gasping for breath before he could call out to the guards.

On the second floor, there were many rooms but one can easily tell where the room of the leader would be as two guards were standing and guarding the door. When they saw Rex coming they moved to stop him, but before they could say anything, they were punched in the stomach.

The strength was too much for them to handle, and Rex opened the door. Inside a man wearing a red cape was sitting at a desk and in front of him was sitting a woman on a chair.

" Gary, Is this one of your rude mercenaries? I will tell you now, I am not joining your guild and want to be left alone." The woman said. She had her face covered under a cloak, the voice warned Rex that the woman was a magician and a higher one at that. Even Rex could tell with his eyes, that she had a shining green aura.

" Which one of you is the guild leader here?" Rex asked just to be sure.

" Who the hell are you bastard?" The man in the cape stood up he has a pointy moustache and a slim face. The man didn't waste any time and threw a dagger at Rex.

He saw it coming but was slow to dodge which made the dagger graze him. There was one more thing, the dagger was covered with Aura.

[ Careful, he can use Aura.]

Rex was careful, he moved from the opposite side of the woman dodging the next two daggers, it looked like Gary was out of daggers and only had what was left in his hand.

" He is here to pick a fight with you, interesting." The woman said with an astound look on her face.

" Don't fuck with me, who the heck are you?"

Rex didn't answer and moved closer kicking the desk, the strength was great behind that attack, the heavy desk moved and Gary jumped over the desk and then moved to attack reaching for Rex's Neck.

However, Rex grabbed his wrists and twisted them to make him let go of the dagger in one hand, Gary tried to use the other hand but before that, he was skillfully hit on the throat and fell two feet behind. Rex kicked the other dagger out of his hand.

The next second he was on the top of the Gary and started punching continuously, his punches were too heavy that they made terrifying sounds.

' What the hell? He is truly trying to kill him. I should get out and call someone else or I will be considered an accomplice. However, before she could say anything some knights and Red salamander guards came inside.

" Halt, The baron is here." A knight shouted.
