Chereads / The wild hunt / Chapter 11 - Rest

Chapter 11 - Rest

I got to the city gate with ease a few guards want to stop me but there commander stopped them and let me pass when he seen my tired and bloody clothes I got to Taylors bar and pushed open the doors when I walked in the music stopped playing and I seen everyone staring at me it was a odd feeling to have not only mpc staring at me but also players the hole bar was silence but whatever I wanted a drink and I walked straight to the bar the people cleared a path for me and standing there drying the inside of a mug smiling was Taylor when I got to the bar he put the mug down and said what can I get you I smiled line them up he nodded and pulled a bottle from under the bar then put 4 shot glasses in front of me he filled them up for me I nodded picked up one and slammed it back then the second then the third then the forth when I finished them all he filled them up for me again I did it again but on my last shot I held it up turning around to everyone else yelling isn't this a fucking bar and not a morg cheers yall when I said that hole bare shook with people yelling cheers and we all drank I took my shot and turned back around when I did the music was back and everyone was talking again Taylor chuckled you look like shit lad I chuckled you should have seen the others they was way worse he laughed nodding I bet go and wash up and get some sleep tomorrow we will talk about what you found I nodded and walked up the stairs and walked passed all the late night employees at the top of the stairs many of them started at me with impressed shock but I did see the few who started at me with discussed and fright but what ever that isn't my problem I walked to the end if the hall and want inside the locker room I through all of my dirty clothes into the wash basket and I unequipped the rest of my gear but Diablo stayed on my hands for some reason but what ever I walked into the bathhouse and walked to one of the empty showers I wasn't surprised to see others in the bath or showers seeing what time it was but oddly enough it was a even mix of mpcs and players and quite a few was talk with each other in the hot spring it wasn't anything crazy just polite small talk but when I walked in covered in both mud and blood also it probably didn't help that diablo was still equipped whatever it was everyone took notice and stared at me but I didn't care I wanted to get clean and that's what I did I washed off all the mud and blood on my body then when I was clean I got into the hot spring and holy hell it felt good I practically sank into the water I leaned back and closed my eyes enjoying the heat people started talking again when they seen I wasn't anything to worry about after a few minutes of resting my body, of course, someone had to disturb my peace you look like you're enjoying your self Skull I opened one eye and looked who spoke my name and I seen a familiar dark elf it was James he was sitting next to me he had a smile on his face I side and raised my self face out of the water so I could speak o so it's you James I wondered who would disturb my peace he chuckled shrugging but he didn't say anything else I rolled my eyes saying so how was your talk with your ant and uncle James smile faltered for a moment but he side and in a low voice he said it was something but also enlightening I don't think I ever felt more fear in my life then I did standing in front of both of them they are monsters I chuckled ruling my eyes you knew that already and yet you still came looking for them cuz whether you like it or not at least those monsters are on your side and not your enemies he side hearing my words nodding I agree but the miss Rose still doesn't trust nor like them but her little sister is the complete opposite she trust them hell she even made friends with that owl bear behind the bar when I heard that I broke out laughing no your not serious little Valentine made friends with Bin the huge angry owl bear bouncer either that girl is extremely lucky or she is a hidden talent perhaps both I laughed for a few more seconds at James defeated expression he side I don't know what to do miss Rose is with her ant still wall the young miss Valentine is playing with all the tamed beast Taylor has wall I am stuck doing nothing what do think Skull I chuckled o what's this James the might warrior and son to a mighty family is asking me a lonely wildling for advice how interesting mmmm let's see and put my hands behind my head and lowered my self deeper in the water it came up to my neck well I guess the real question is what do you want to do Jame shrugged I truly don't know I guess get stronger to help my family but that would mean I would have to leave the two misses here I rolled my eyes honestly James loosen up for ones in your life I know it will be heard but take that noble stick out of your ass and look around you got the girls here you did your job and now your free to do what you want don't waste this chances he looked to me shocked what do you mean Skull I don't understand I side ruling my eyes James right now your free from any noble responsibilities your here with us normal fook not a gold in your name but you're skilled in fighting and you're in a place where the strong thrive in if you want to get stronger right he nodded good your in a place where you can both asked to get trained by some of the best fighters but you're also in a place where you can gain both experience and knowledge a sword is a great weapon but experience and your brain is the mightiest weapon of all find you own way to fight and find what your fighting for that is my advise but you will have to excuse me it's been a long day and I am tired and I stood up wrapped the tail around my waste and got out of the hot spring and left him there to think about what I said I walked to the locker room and seen my clothes they was clean and sown up to it looked new but I only put on my underwear and pants nothing more the rest I put in my inventory I walked to my room and flopped on my bed and logged out I pulled off my helmet and put it on my desk I got up and want to the bathroom when I came back I looked through the wild hunt page to see if there was anything new and there was it was another purple post the games first update will come out in 4 days and there will be a few changes I side at that but I needed to rest and I feel asleep for a bit but I woke up again did what I needed to and want back into the game I opened my eyes face down in my bed I got up stretching but I seen Diablo was still equipped but that's not the only thing I still my necklace around my neck just half of the stone was gone umm Diablo y are you still equipped for one and two y do I still have the gift stone around my neck I heard Diablo voice in my head well I could go back to my other form but to be honest master I prefer to stay in this form it makes me happy besides it's the one more natural to me seeing I am both a weapon type and a support type gift I hope you don't mind master as for your second question that's simple your a double awakener so I am your fist gift you awakened wall you haven't awakened my big sis yet but you won't till probably 10 levels or so I ant sure to be honest she is stubborn I nodded ok thank you and I don't mind You can stay like this if that's what you want but it's time to try and get some magic cores I sat on the ground and crossed my legs and closed my eyes let's see first let's see what elements I am naturally connected to I focused on the mana in the air I reached out to it and tried to feel my way through it and it took me a 15 minutes to get the reaction I wanted but there floating in front of me was 4 balls of like the first was naturally hells flame the second was purple lightning the third was a odd red water and the last a interesting green I think that that was for nature and there was only the elements I had a natural affinity to it didn't mean I could use other types of magic but it will be a lot harder then these four and no where near as strong mmm which should I start with mmm what do you think Diablo he shrugged I don't know master there all good but with my help you can make the hells flame core wall also making a different core o really how interesting I assume you can only do that with only hells flame right he nodded yes master mmm ok we will do hells flame and the odd red water these are the two that I am interested to see what they can do the most well them and green but that will be third let's start yes master and I used mana mind mana started to be sucked into my body but it was so slow I opend my eyes and opened my status

I stood up quipping all of my equipment but it felt odd not to have a sword on my hip but what ever Taylor has been waiting long enough I walked out it my room and walked down the stairs it the bar was as lively as ever I seen both Taylor and Star standing behind the bar when Taylor seen me he walked from behind the bar and motioned for me to follow I nodded and we walked back through that door next to the bar we walked down the hall till we walked passed the door we want in last time and the kitchen we stopped at the next door down he opened the door and walked in I followed and what I seen was a nice office there was a nice dark wood desk in the middle of the room behind it was a huge window when I looked through it I was shocked we was behind the bar behind the mears but that's impossible this room was on the left but also we ant close to where this would me but I guess magic is a crazy thing at the back left corner there was a armor stand that had black obsidian armor on it but on the left wall was many different types of weapons but hanging behind the desk was two katanas both of master make I could see the runes from here they had to be gold ranked weapons and to prove my point bobbles started to appear on everything in this room from the weapons on the wall to the armor and the two katanas to even the damn desk they all was made from very rare and expensive materials the lowest rank thing I seen in here was a purple rank dagger the lowest grade thing was a epic grade what the fuck Taylor laughed at my shocked expression come sit and he walked behind his desk and sat in his chair I followed and sat in one of the two chairs in front of his desk holy hell I said looking at all of the weapons if I got the chance to even study any of the runes on theses weapons my rune skill would level up many times just from that but I focused on Taylor who was still smiling so what's up Taylor y did you lead me here Taylor shrugged well first of all and he pulled a bag from his desk and put it in front of me thank you for the meat when that bag hit the table it made a jingle noise

Quest Go hunting for two tail deer: complete 100 gold and 150exp earned, hidden quest bring back more then stated for what you brot back 100 more gold and 150 more exp plus relationship with Taylor and his bar improved but also relationship with the people of the land improved

Level up level up level up

I was shocked but I wasn't going to complain I now had 400 gold but I had plans but I had a feeling Taylor wasn't done he leaned forward now that's out of the way I want you to tell me what happened last night I side realising we was getting serious and I told him everything from the time I left here to go and kill the goblin camp Taylor listened with out saying a word and I finally got to the city gates the guards was going to stop me for some reason but there caption stopped them and let me pass then I came straight here and well you know the rest Taylor leaned back in his chair looking over to the right wall which oddly enough had a shit tune of pictures on it be it paintings or actual photos the hole wall was covered in them so much so that I could barely even see the wall Taylor side this isn't good this isn't good at all and he looked to me Hunter what you found I don't think was the camp or at least not all of it I think that was only a small piece of there force this and if my instincts are right and they usually are there is a lot more camps out there I don't think you can kill them all on your own smiled o I could but that will take time I am only one man and I agree with you that hole thing felt to easy to be a goblin camp Taylor nodded then Taylors face want white and she shot up out of his chair please tell me you found the goblin kids I nodded indeed I did Taylor quickly asked did you kill them all I nodded again yes I did not a one made it out alive Taylor sat back down sying that's good at least goblins maybe weak but they ant stupid they can learn and adapt plus they are vengeful little fuckers any wrong done to them they will remember for

Life I side thanking the gods I killed all of them Taylor turned around and glanced through the window saying I will have to put up a quest for this I hope you understand Hunter I nodded I do sir we need to kill these little fuckers fast before they get anyone young girls Taylor side nodding speaking of young girls there are 5 families that want to thank you for saving there daughters and for returning there body I nodded I wasn't just going to leave them there but I ant sure I did those girls any favors they will have to live with what happened to them and they won't be well for many years if at all it might have been a mercy to kill them all Taylor side struggling you made a choice to save them nothing more nothing less don't let that affect you hunter but and he turned around in his chair with what you have done for me and my family I can't thank you enough I chuckled nodding it's no problem mate I am happy to help Taylor started at me for a few seconds then nodded perhaps you would be interested in helping me again instead of destroying the goblin camp what about you find where there kings camp is and destroy the rest of the small camps you find or come back and tell me where the camps are do you think you can do that and that's when this appeared in front of me

Quest destroy the goblin camps has changed to a chain quest

Find all the goblin camps and find where the goblin king is at: A rank- Taylor has asked you to scout the goblin territory to find where the goblin king is located, quest quota- small camps destroyed 1/10, medium camps destroyed 0/5, the big camp destroyed 0/1, rewards depends on how much you contributed to killing the king

Except or reject

I looked to Taylor with a huge crazy smile standing up saying well it would seem I need to go shopping do you have a smithy or a place where I can work Taylor smiled standing up nodding of courses and he pushed a button that was under his desk when he did the ground under me opened and I feel into this while my vision going black I felt my self moving for a few seconds that is when someome turned on a light and I felt my self falling and I dropped from a ceiling my ass hit the ground which hurt like hell -5 hp but Taylor dropped next to me but unlike me he landed on his feet what the hell Taylor I said standing up you could have warned me damn it Taylor looked to me with a huge grin indeed I could have but where's the fun in that he said chuckling I rolled my eyes and looked around this small room but there wasn't much just a old desk with old tools, scraps and even old alchemical stuff that was on the left wall and on the right wall was a old furnace that looked like it hadn't been used in a while but there was a anvil in the center of the room and power hammer next to the furnace but everything looked old and had a thick layer of dust over them all but from inside the furnace there was still the faint flicker of light and above the desk was a window when I started out throw it I saw a beautiful view of a port town where are we Taylor I asked and walked to the window smiling Taylor chuckled shrugging it would seem today we are at dragon cove a huge island ran by pirates your kidding I asked turning around to look at him but he wasn't looking out the window any he was looking around this space with a happy smile and his eyes was glossed over like he was remembering something very happy he slowly walked to the anvil he looked down to it and whipped the dust off from it that's when I noticed the anvil was made from black steel he put a hand on the anvil chuckling to him self hello old friend the anvil didn't respond but the temperature in the room got hoter I think and I could have sworn I heard the sound of a hammer hitting got steal this was your place I asked slowly Taylor nodded yes a very long time ago this was my first and only forge but sadly it hasn't been used in a long time I haven't had that spark to make anything for year's and I could see sadness in his eyes that's y I brought you here a forge is meant to be used and not sit around and collect dust and he looked up into my eyes I want you to make this anvil sing and he through something at me I cot it and examined it and what I had was a small old looking gold key there was orange runes running through the hole thing that's when a bubble appeared over it

Daedalus key- purple rank item, one of the few intact forges of Daedalus that still remains there was two set keys to this forge, key cond to host only you can us it, and can not be dropped or stolen

I looked up to Taylor gratitude in my eyes and voice thank you Taylor I promise I will use this place well Taylor smiled Good I hope so I might drop by and see you work if that's fine I nodded chuckling that will be find Taylor smiled nodded pulled out another gold key he looked around the space one last time he side nodding and swiped the key in the air and a portal opened up in front of him he was about to step into the portal but he stopped and looked at me one piece of advice the better of your hammer the easier time you will have understand I nodded yes thank you, Taylor, he nodded smiling he looked back to the portal and as he stepped in he said also all the families of the girls you saved want to talk to you so a carriage will arrive at the bar in a hour good luck when I heard that my face want white damn it Taylor what did you do you bastards I yelled but the portal already closed damn him I gralled but after a few moments I side whatever and like that I was calm again I looked around this space I smiled looking down to the key saying well DeerSkull I guess I should prepare to meet these people and I swung the key down and the portal opened in front of me I side again and walked through the portal smiling.
