"It's the The-This scroll is from his majesty about the hero's arrival in a few weeks. Th-That means that these people are the king's people"
Holstering my weapons I turned to Aiz. Nodding to me he told the ninjas like people
"Stand down this man and woman are more powerful than me and all of you combined."
"Standing back all but the short one merged back into the surroundings. I could feel them retreating until they fell out of my perception field."
An androgynous voice called to the Baron
"The king demands a response on the prospect that the scroll asks of? What Is your reply?"
"Fine I will lend him my best men under the circumstances that he doesn't mess with them."
"You are in no position to negotiate, You are a noble of the empire and you have been told to help the heroes. I hope you don't disappoint."
The faint presence disappeared and the baron sat down and audibly sighed stress etched into his facial features.
"Apologies for the display. The empire is moving the heroes earlier than expected. They'll be here in a week at most and I'm afraid that you will be involved too after our conversation."
"We're staying in this city from here on. I need time and resources before going to the capital."
Looking at my status I still felt weak.

My stats had minimally changed but the biggest difference was in my skill levels. The void skills didn't have a max but they didn't have levels either it was strange. What did it mean by base race? My SP had dramatically increased by over 2x due to Lilly draining my mana at night.
Turning to leave we were stopped
"Please be careful I can't protect you from the king's people."
Lilly turned to the baron with her eyes narrowed"We don't need your protection"
Dashing towards the trees of the city as fast as we could I began to draw out a map in my dead to our destination- The portal, While not far if those were the king's men then strong guards would be in place for a situation such as this. The baron can't protect us from him that's the message he gave.
In other words the king will know about me and Lilly, Luckily enough the baron should be able to stall for a while but the king will come to know what the baron knows over time as the baron is loyal to the empire.
Pushing myself faster and faster I used a box to launch myself up I swung on a blacksmith sign and with a large vault I landed onto the roof of the city. It would have been the best place for parkour and by imitating the movements I saw in games to increase my effective speed.
Lilly jumped up to the roof losing the advantage of maintaining speed and style but her landing was graceful. Finding the gate it seemed to be guarded by the barons men so we should be able to push through before any shit hits the fan.
Arriving in front of the soldiers they gave us a bow and handed us a badge of some kind.
"The baron has notified us of your arrival through telepathy you are free to enter. This badge will grant you easy access to the labyrinth when you show the guards on the floor you will arrive at. Hurry sir they're here."
Walking through the gate our scenery changed. A large cave filled with grass and purple trees
It was so beautiful but with this beauty came danger in many forms. The floors above and below were filled with creatures that could only realistically be killed by high rank magicians making this a dangerous place for most. Lilly would become my crutch if I don't improve my spellcasting and analysis of monsters.
I couldn't wait to dive in!!!
