Chapter 3 - town

after an hour the girl is done with skinning all the wolf's skin, fangs, and claws we decided to go back to a nearby town where she is currently staying

tying up the wolf parts into a sack and carrying it into my bag, we depart to our next destination the town

in the middle of the journey, she asked a couple of questions

"so do you have a name?"

I nodded in reply

"so what's your name?"

with a deadpan 'expression' I looked at her

"oh right you don't have a mouth"

I nodded, after that, I point at her to ask what's her name

"you want to know my name?"

I nodded

"My name is Ina, Ina Braveheart nice to meet you" With her extending her hand I also extended mine for a handshake

using this opportunity to use appraisal on her I saw a blue screen floating

after looking at it, I dismissed the stat sheet and we continued our journey through the forest

after an hour of walking, we finally could see a town beyond the forest and fortunately, it is not the same town that I had crossed before, coming close to it we found a line of people with guards at the end doing verification of sort

after coming to the line we move to the back of the line and waited

after about 20 minutes it is our turn to get a verification

"hello miss and sir, please state your reason and purpose for your visit" one guard said with him holding a peculiar transparent ball

"Oh we are here to find an inn to stay for a while and also a merchant guild to sell some of our stuff" Ina reply

the guard looked at the transparent ball as it slowly turned blue and back to transparent

"And you sir?" The guard looked at me

"oh he is my golem" Ina replied, she turned to me and took off my hood to reveal my stone face

"ok miss you can go in, welcome to Windrip" the guard said and I put my hood back on to hide my face

the guards blocking the entrance moved away as we walk forward

"NEXT!" we heard the guard yell as the people behind us get checked

after a long hallway, we were met with a lively town with colorful houses and people walking around, looking around Ina ask one random man

"Hey, do you know where the merchant and adventurer guild is?"

the person looked in our direction and reply

"Oh new people, an adventurer I assume, the adventurer and the merchant guild luckily right next to each other, as for where they are, they are in that direction, just go straight there and you will find the adventurer guild and merchant guild, those 2 buildings stick out like a sore thumb you won't miss it" the man said while pointing at a certain direction

thanking the man she moved onward to where the man is pointing while I follow her, after a while we spotted 2 peculiar buildings, one looks like a mini castle with armored people going in and out of it, and next to it is a while marbled building with exotic flowers in front like a field

truly these two buildings are different from the normal white-painted rocky houses, Ina first goes to the adventurer guild and I follow suit, inside the guild there are multiple reception desks with signs on top that I cannot recognize

going behind a short line of people we waited for them to be done and after some time it is almost our turn

"Hey after you're done with your work you want to go out for dinner?" a blond adventurer in front of us asked while leaning toward the desk

"Sir, please move away your stalling the line behind you, if you do not move, we have to call security" the girl behind the desk reply

"tsk, fine play it that way, you will regret this later" the adventurer angrily huffed away and stormed out of the building

coming close to the desk we were greeted with a smile

"Hello, what can I do for you today," the lady asked

"hi, I like to submit a quest I have done" As she said this she reached into her backpack and pulled out some herbs, the lady picked up the herbs to verify if they are real and counted how many of them

"Alright, it is a total of 50 dragon tongue can you give me your adventurer name and rank?" the lady asked

"My name is Ina, and an F-rank adventurer"

"HAH A PUNY F RANK ADVENTURER, GO BACK TO YOUR FAMILY AND CRY TO YOUR MOMMY" a booming voice sounded in the line behind us

'oh come on, not this cliché shit' I grumbled while looking at the person who said that, after searching for the person, I found a looking at us with a shit-eating grin and a bald head

he is about tall as me and very buffed with muscle and scars covering him, looking back to Ina's reaction she seems to not mind the voice and continues waiting for the reception desk lady to be done

"HAH SEEMS YOUR PARTNER HERE IS SCARED TO FACE ME" he looked at me with a mocking smile

the crown around us seems to expect a fight to happen

as I was about to do something Ina tugged my robe and said

"don't mind him, some people are just like that in the guild" Ina looked at me

with a shrug, I turn to the reception desk and waited like Ina

"HAH EVEN A GUY LIKE YOU IS SCARED OF ME, I BET YOU CANT EVEN KILL A WOLF ON YOUR OWN" the person continued to taunt us

and that was the last straw he pulled as I was done with his shit, as I drop my sack on my shoulder I walked up to the guy

"HAHAHA, WHAT ARE YOUR GONNA DO? PUNCH ME? I BET THAT PUNCH CANT EVEN HURT ME" he looked around the crown looking at their reaction

as I stopped in front of him

"HAH LOOK AROUND YOU EVEN THEY AGRE-" As he was about to finish the sentence and looked back at me he felt a huge force in the center of his chest flying from the impact he flew to the open door of the guild and straight to the other side of the road hitting the wall

that punch, of course, was me, though I was mad at him I didn't want to kill him, so instead of a punch I did a palm strike to spread the surface area of my punch is increased to not make my fist pierce his body, but even if it is a palm strike it is still my full powered punch which can break even a great-wolf skull with ease

as I come back to Ina's side the people watching were surprised by not how I managed to launch him but that I am a golem

"Shit it's a golem, she must be from a rich noble family, Rick is gonna be fucked for taunting a young mistress" one person whispered to his friend

"What? Is golem expensive or something?" the person's friend reply

"They are fucking outrageously expensive even the worst golem price can compare to a house here" the person replied

as I stopped at Ina's side she faced to me

"you know that was not needed"

I reply with a nod

"Can you not do that anymore" she asked nicely

I shook my head, as even I still have pride in my strength

"Alright, but at least can you cause less trouble"

i hesitantly nod
