Luminous ' She is now a druid of Cr 1.'
Usman " Firuza?! You okay? What happened? Your eyes are silver now." I said in a surprising manner.
Firuza" Huh? Really?" She asked.
I nodded.
Firuza " It might be related to my class change as a druid?" She said tilting her head.
Usman" You are a...druid now?!" I said in a shocking manner.
Firuza" Oh! Yes, I am!" She said happily.
Then, she told me about.... vestige of N.G. and her second chance.
Usman ' Luminous.'
Luminous ' Yes, she is telling the truth. Only the respective entities of this world can bestow these classes in this world again. This was there last chance to help.'
Usman ' Meaning. Only one can do this class thing and other can't.'
Luminous ' Yes. Now, their vestiges do not exist anymore.'
Usman ' Wait?!.... you mean...'
Luminous ' No more.'
Usman ' I see.... Well, rewards?'
Ding!
You have gained 18 sp.
Usman ' So, I have 21 sp now.'
Near sunset ~
We reached the wall and gate of Eternal Lament. Unlike villages, these were made of stones.
Guard " Halt! Who are you people!" He said to us.
Firuza" I am Firuza Fironova and this is my travelling companion, Usman. We are here to meet your lord." She said with a brand new confidence.
Guard" Wh...yes! Please come!" He said opening the door.
Usman" It was easy than I thought." I said surprised.
Firuza" Because he's plotting a rebellion against the Viscountess." She said looking at me.
I followed her and guard inside. It was like an European town. Architecture was good too. It was like, I was in Italy. There was canal flowing under a bridge. Market place was amazing too. Moving forward, we reached a mansion. Guard moved to the door and knocked.
When it opened, a maid looked outside.
Maid" MY LADY! YOU ARE ALIVE!" She said surprised.
Firuza" Yes! But I am not a noble anymore. Is Voclain here?" She said gracefully.
Maid" It does not matter to me, my lady. Master is in his study." She said opening the door with a bow.
Firuza went in and I followed her inside. Maid closed the door and took us to his study. The mansion was amazing too. She knocked on the door.
???" Yes."
She opened the door and stood aside.
Maid" Master! Lady Fironova is here." She said with respect.
We went in, study was like a 1900 classic room for a scholar with a decent fire place, sofas, chair, table and artistic master pieces.
???" It's been a while, Firuza." Said a wise looking old man in a three piece suite of 20th century European style.
Firuza " Nice to see you again, Baron Voclain." She said with respect.
Voclain" Hahaha! I told you to call me, Liberal....cough...cough..." He said coughing.
Maid" Master! I told you to rest before." She said worried.
Voclain" No, this is just a cough and it's common in my age." He said assuring her.
Firuza" Sorry but I am not taking risks! Detect poison and disease!" She said chanting her spell.
Usman ' WHAT?! She is using a spell before explaining things!'
Luminous ' She used a level 1 spell and now she only has one left.'
Usman ' Wait, WHAT?! But can't she use equal number of spells to her wisdom + level! '
Luminous ' As I told you before, this world is like a D&D world. But there are many things different such as spells.'
Usman ' Damn! She needs a short time to regain her spell?'
Luminous ' Yes, that's still work.'
A white light shrouded a surprised Voclain.
Voclain " Firuza! You gained YOUR SPELLS?! BUT HOW?!" He said surprised.
Firuza" So, it is cough..." She said without a care what she did.
I sighed.
Usman " How about we sit down and then, Firuza tell you everything." I said to everyone.
Firuza" Hmmmm, me? What I have...to..DEAR LORD!" She said realising.
Usman ' Man, how MCs handle airheads when they mess things up?'
Then, we sit down and maid closed the door. Firuza told Voclain about her second chance as druid and our mission. She told him about Pure Jack and how our journey started.
Voclain " Haaahhh! I knew that crooked bastard was ambitious but not to this extent. I hope her daughter will handle things better." He said sitting comfortably in his sofa.
Firuza " Yes and we are going to stop that witch before she do something bad." She said determinedly.
Voclain" I want to help you but for time being, I am occupied." He said with apologetic look.
Firuza" What happened?" She asked.
Voclain " There are some incidents which happened both in town and in the sewers." He said.
Usman" What happened? Maybe I can help you?" I asked.
Firuza" YES! He can help, he's good. Besides I can be both offensive and defensive now." She said with enthusiasm.
Voclain" Hahaha! After what I heard from you, you both can try. But be careful, north needs you both." He said seriously.
We nodded.
Voclain" Days ago when we were planning against the witch. Some thugs attacked my best men and ran into sewers. When we sent forces, only half of them return." He said recalling.
Usman" Did they have reinforcement?" I asked.
He shook his head.
Voclain" No, they were attacked by insects and some other....things." He said with uncertainty.
Usman" Undeads." I inquired.
Voclain " It is a possibility, considering her." He said deadpanned.
Usman" Alright. Then, I will check it tomorrow. For time being, I would like to know where the best tavern of the town is." I said.
Voclain" You can live here if you like. I am even asking Firuza... no, I am making her stay here." He said correcting himself.
Firuza" I can handle myself now." She said assuring him.
Voclain" Even you are druid now of Cr 1. My answer is same." He said strongly.
Firuza" But I..."
Usman" I think you should listen to him. You might have power but you don't have experience as a druid." I said intruding.
Firuza" Haaahhh! Okay, I admit that." She said pouting.
Usman" But I would like to stay in a tavern." I said to Voclain.
Voclain" Alright. " He said.
Then, he called a guard to escort me to a tavern called Free Nymph. I booked a room for a week for 5 gp and 6 sp.
