After seven days, many things transpired. The knight commander Galizurl personally led the new recruits into groups of ten and appointed leaders from the remaining knight order; the rest were trained as new cavalry soldiers, and the garrison gained almost 500 new soldiers within that short period of time because of the tale of the Black Battle mage
As a consequence, even the way of life of many new hunters, mercenaries, adventurers, gatherers, and even young Mages has been influenced by these tales, so many of them started to gain familiar creatures as a new trend In the city, the demand for obtaining wolves as guards and familiars began to rise, the inclination of having these animals to work with them in their daily task, became a symbol of status and power, this was because of the stories and eye witness's of a huge Gehanna Wolf standing and fighting alongside the man called Lā mǐ'ěr,
because many travelling Troubador or paid storytellers, book writers even merchants used this opportunity to spread the tale of the legendary Battle Mage because it was a hot topic and generate more passive income, even if many of the stories differ from the truth and most were fabricated to entice the people,
meanwhile, Loki was still in bed when Taeriel barged in once more, into his sleeping quarters with news, she shook his brother until he finally woke up, and told his sister that it is still nighttime and let him go back to sleep, Taeriel told him its already morning, something huge is blocking the sun, Loki laugh and told her that was crazy,
Taeriel didn't stop nagging him until he stood up from his bed and opened his room window, he continuously rub his eyes when he saw a huge floating castle hovering over the western part of the city and a flag could be seen on top of the battlement wall.
"It's The Floating Garrison of Avarel!"
Taeriel pointed out that something was happening as winged soldiers could be seen coming down from the floating garrison, travelling toward Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron Mansion, a message could be heard stating not to be alarmed because the city of Avarel came to answer her call,
Viscountess Hilas was furious to see that those arrogant greedy flying idiots came seven days after, considering that their city was just 4 days' travel by horse or carriage, now she has to answer and graciously accept them in her city, knowing even if said confrontation with the 200 fully equip war monger Troll has ended days ago, coming here now will still be considered an act of good gesture,
thus the Avarel Garrison Commander will ask for reparation because she knew and was fully aware that the news of having miraculously obtained tons of Shroomite metal and numerous mana cores, was already tempting and a sure way of gaining something without actually doing anything,
she was a hundred per cent sure ,that they will enforce their claim even if they did nothing, the mere fact they answered her request,
Viscountess Hilas commands one of her staff to summon or forcibly drag Loki Ingeborg into her mansion now, Loki was eating with his staff including some of the guilds licenced professionals who help with the Troll conflict became closer to the staff and became a daily routine to join them as much as they can, so within that time the guild kitchen was no longer exclusive to their staff but was opened to all, so additional handcrafted 20 seater table and chairs were placed, while the grumpy old stingy guild material buyer was force to have a smaller office so they can accommodate more people in the kitchen hall.
when 3 knights came to the Royal Guild Requesting for Loki Ingeborg to come with them, Ramiel was also there eating and reading a book that Cathetel Adoel lent him about different types of medicinal plants and how to craft potions the correct way, he was positioned right in front of Loki, and Alpha was also resting under the table in her smaller juvenile wolf form to hide her appearance from the public,
they both saw and heard that Loki is being forced to answer the summon of the Viscountess, one of them was the female knight that Lā mǐ'ěr save, she introduce herself as Knight Leilatha Atinen, she explained that his presence is vital, it is connected with the appearance of the Floating Garrison of Avarel, so knowing this he stares at Ramiel with pleading eyes and gave hint and signal that now was the time to decide,
Ramiel look back at him and gave out a nod and smiled back at him, Loki understood what he meant and didn't hesitate to follow the 3 knights back to the Viscountess's luxurious Mansion, a carriage was waiting for the guild Manager as the 3 knights rode their war horses, Ramiel closed the book he was reading and stood up to fulfil his promise and went out the kitchen hall toward the guild bulletin board and took out an easy task request to hunt down 6 wild demon boars, while Alpha just casually followed him the moment nobody was looking she just entered her Void Chamber and used this opportunity to talk to Ramiel by thought transference,
after a few exchanges of conversation with each other, they both agreed to their combined finalised plan when Ramiel came out of the Guild he saw disturbing images of hunters and adventures wearing a familiar replica of his battle mage clothes and some even has wolves beside them acting like they are the real person who killed the warmonger Trolls, Alpha saw this while inside her void chamber and wanted to come out and kill those impersonators.
" leave them be Alpha! doing this won't affect us, sadly impersonating another person will eventually shoulder too many problems for them, not mine,"
"Nevertheless! it makes me mad!"
Ramiel ran toward behind the guild Building and cast
" Dominion Transfer Gate," and went and came out of the other side in full Black Battle mage outfit and was standing on top of an abandoned tower connected to the training garrison of Ivlares city, one of 4 towers created by the former Viscount to oversee any incoming enemy both land and air, now it is left to crumble and fade away in history,
it was overlooking the city and was a few hundred meters below the Floating Garrison, Alpha came out in her full form and sent out a few of her shadows to observe the situation, especially within the Viscountess mansion, where the delegation from Avarel came first and was greeted by the Viscountess herself with her staff the knight commander at her side,
" greeting to the emissary of the city Avarel !"
"I am Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron noble ruler of Ivlares city,
" Greeting your grace I am the 3rd Air Commander Talion Nebeus, and this rowdy bunch of warriors are the 16 Avarel elite sky raiders."
"I welcome you to my city, for the time being, I would like to invite you all to the main function hall for some food and drinks while Commander Talion Nebeus discuss important matters,"
" ah! your grace! with due respect, we came after hearing that your land was being terrorized by warmonger Trolls, but it seems the message we received might be untruthful and false,"
"Everything seems to be fine and from what we are seeing, your city is gaining more prosperous,"
Viscountess was about to answer when one of the sky raiders spoke rudely and mentioned they wasted their precious time in coming here,
the knight commander was about to unsheathe his sword when the Viscountess stopped him, while the rude sky raider just smiled spitefully like they just want to insult them, another sky raider raised a question about the so-called warmonger Trolls,
the Viscountess persuade Commander Talion Nebeus and his men to continue their discussion inside, but the 16 Avarel elite sky raiders decline the offer stating that they are not properly dressed to enter such an elegant and expensive Mansion, the Viscountess staff became irritated with their attitude and just stayed outside the Mansion front yard. the Mansion head steward offered cold refreshments but they insisted they get served alcohol instead.
"Please excuse my men your grace they have endured many battles and grew arrogant because of their power."
the Viscountess just smiled and guided the commander while he was smiling in a mischievous manner, knight Commander Galizurl saw this but didn't act impertinently and create a bigger problem as soon as all of them entered the Manson Hall Loki Ingeborg bowed down and greeted them,
Commander Talion Nebeus just walked past him and sat insolently, and didn't even wait for the host to address him, the Viscountess was holding her composure and wasn't about to act dishonourably and rude toward a guest.
but as soon as she sat down while her knight guard and Loki stood behind her, Commander Talion Nebeus's attitude changed and became ill-mannered, and uncivilized showing that their small city can't be compared to their glorious city with 6 million inhabitants and with 170 thousand strong military force, his brutish ways of talking was a ticking timebomb that Talion Nebeus set up to create a tension that will inevitably lead to war unless they pay with the proper reparation of all the Shoomite metal and mana cores that they currently have in their possession.
