The adventurers were pointing their weapons at ren like he was the true monster with a look of panic on their faces. Telling that ren was losing it over these people I intervened before things got too heated.
[Blink]
"What do you think you are doing? We just saved you and you point your weapons at us! Put your weapons down or suffer the consequences of your idiotic actions!!"
"Do as she says otherwise we are all dead"(???)
Seems that someone has some sense compared to the others. Who this someone was I was not sure.
From behind the carriage a man that was clearly in is old age carrying a greatsword the size of himself covered in blood appeared and locked eyes with me. I could tell that he was leagues above the adventurers but nowhere near as strong as me or Ren. Breaking his gaze he ordered his men.
"What are you all doing lounging about get in formation and prepare to move out!"(???)
"Yes Sir"
"Apologies for my men after seeing your friend kill the wyvern I'm guessing they thought of him as a threat that had come for my life"(???)
"Turning to ren I could see him looking at the corpse of the wyvern rather than bothering with the adventurers"
"Looks like he doesn't mind. However" The air around me began to freeze " If you dare touch a hair on his head I will ruin you and your group to the point you are beyond recognition"
He visibly shivered at my lackluster threat.
"Where are my manners I am baron Aiz Von Brightwood at your service we are indebted to you and your frien-"
"My husband" Feeling my cheeks redden at the mention
"Oh pardon my rudeness your husband. We are heading to the Great Magic Labyrinth in Elusion before heading back to Erudite for a resupply if there is anything in my power that you would need please ask."
"Thank you for the offer we will take it if needed"
It seemed that ren was done with his research after every kill he had experimented on the parts of the body that the monster had. It was strange to be sure. He put the monster into his inventory which slowly expanded every day due to his increase in mana from training and experimentation.
"Hmm it seems that this was a mutated wyvern, Its scales are made of a composite of strong ore and biological exoskeleton that builds up the scales plating."(Ren)
"So who's he?"(Ren)
Baron Brightwood tensed under ren's gaze. He looked ready to arm himself in a seconds notice. I silently prepared a spell just in case he tried anything stupid.
"I am baron Brightwood and as I said to your wife I am very grateful to you for killing the wyvern. Under the honour of the brightwood barony I swear that I will help when you ask! Just find me in the barony after we have completed our job for his majesty."
"All right cheers"(Ren)
Me and Ren started walking away from the group back to the guild to make claim our rewards for our 'Quest' and we gained a connection to a baron and some material but I know little about it compared to Ren.
"Will you be able to use that wyvern's scales for something?"
"Our current armour is leagues better than the scales of the wyvern but I could use them to make a new weapon or different ammunition that will be weaker than the unbreakable rock core bullets but will act like flechettes expanding in a target that it does hit. I thought it would be stronger I wanted to use my new telekinetic blades or the improved anti material rifle an-."(Ren)
While I had learnt a lot of things about his old world but I still could not grasp what he was talking about when he gets technical. But I still like listening to it non the less. Like how our clothes are reinforced with stone from the labyrinth and high grade metals that Ren had in bulk followed by runes that he could place with his new affinities to elements. If I had to guess most weapons will not be able to even scratch our clothes unless they are heavily enchanted but our clothes do not fully cover our bodies nor will they be unbreakable due to how little stone he could add without harming our movement.
"-Due to how it is organic in nature I could probably weave it in with the ores to increase the amount of Labyrinth stone I can weave without affecting us too much."
For someone so cold I can only see a cute kitten when he is like this just he doesn't show this side much even to me. I want him to be able to smile more but I can't help yet. In a few hours we should reach erudite.
~Aiz Brightwood Pov~
That young man had a aura close to a monster. I don't think that he is leaking it consciously but the more I felt it the more I felt some things that I hadn't felt in a year. Fear and the aura of a magical beast! Although minute I could feel it he isn't human and I don't know if he even knows with how casual he was. He may not have interacted with me and he seemed not to care but those are traits of most magical beasts. They are stronger than most beings except a few that I can think of and they tend not to intervene with humanity unless they want something. That girl next to him seems.. wrong like she should not belong.
For their ages they emanate strength that should not be possible and the ease of which they had slain that monster would mean that they are at least B rank individuals that are close to a breakthrough to A Rank but I don't think they know with how casual they were showing their strength. It's a good thing I extended my help as when the king finds out they will be recruited and I will gain a high standing either way as I can help if they refuse and curry favour at the same time. Entering my carriage I couldn't help but mutter.
"I'm too old for this shit"
"Dad your only 43 and language!"(???)
"Sorry sorry please don't tell your mother you know what she's like"
"Only if you tell me what happened outside you were gone forever compared to your normal fights."
"Haah.. I can't believe my own child is asking for a bribe to keep quiet. Fine what happened was-"
